I ordered a plug & play HD Star projector halloween 6 disc set. I used affirm and made my first payment but never received the product which was very odd. I never ordered from this place before but thought the projector would be need for the kids on the holidays. Didn't think anything of it as I wasn't sure if it was coming from China or not but after seeing the item advertised on Facebook it dawned on me that I didn't get the product. I attempted to call the company but they have no phone number so I it said to email but when I put the email in it all kinds of thing popped up about scamming so I call affirm right away and put a dispute in for the amount for Affirm pays for the product and I pay affirm back for the loan. I told affirm that I wasn't going to compromise my email sending them a message.

I inadvertantly signed up for a subscription when I thought I was purchasing a one time real estate record report. USREPORTSREALTY.COM made repeated attempts to charge my credit card $29.95 but thankfully my card company denied payments. I was unable to cancel my subscrition or account online. When calling the customer support phone number I got a recorded message asking for my name and then can you hear me? I realized later that this too was a scam. I hope this fraudulent organization was not successful using my response to the phone call messages. Someone please close this outfit down

Moving

I have scheduled MRI Scanner equipment move from Florida to IL through "Joes moving and storage" on May 8th whose office is in MD. They sent me an invoice for $3,000 with payment to "Wholesale Plaza" whose account is in Florida. It didn't look right to me initially but the wire transfer is made. They sent me a tracking link. I continuously watched their tracking link. After 10 days, I emailed them numerous times. At last, I got an email saying the there's an outstanding storage fee and that is why the package is not picked up. I decided to cancel the shipment and asked for refund many times. No response. Finally, I agreed to cover 50% of the storage fee as I it already took long time without end. I paid on July 27th. Tracking link moved the status to "Picked up by courier". Status did not change for more than 12 days. Their customer service is a WhatsApp number. I called the WhatsApp number as 2 weeks passed by. No one picked up. But I get a WhatsApp message saying that the truck entered into an accident. MRI scanner is covered by insurance of $500,000. Insurance money will go the owner of the equipment which is " TRACY ILACQUA". I paid $3,000 on May 8th and additional $2,025 towards storage fee on July 27th. So far, I have neither received the equipment nor any kind of refund. I checked for major accidents involving medical imaging equipment in the last one week, there weren't any. Moving company as well as TRACY ILACQUA are fraud. I request you to investigate into the moving company. Invoices and payment receipts can be provided.

I ordered the Anchor Anti-snore wedge pillow and when it arrived it was completely crushed and deformed and entirely useless as a pillow. I contacted kopflo and sent 4 photos of the deformed pillow. Their response was to inform me that I can either accept 40% of my money in return or ship them the product in it's original packaging by registered mail to Australia. Their website says they have a 30-night money back guarantee. They are scammers who do not stand behind their products and hide in Australia. They should be banned from doing business in the United States.

Warning to anyone filing a trademark application: Be extremely cautious of unsolicited calls or texts claiming that additional payment or legal services are required to complete your USPTO application. After filing my application, I received a text followed by a call from a man identifying himself as Marcus Adams, a “Verification Officer.” He provided a badge number containing “USP,” an OMR reference code, and details about my trademark filing. Because of the official sounding credentials and his knowledge of my application, I believed he was affiliated with the USPTO. He warned me not to share the OMR code because of trademark fraud, which made him appear even more credible. He then told me I needed to work with Lamont Law Group to complete the trademark process. I was offered five-year and ten-year service options, advised to add another trademark classification, and told that a licensed attorney was required. I gave recorded verbal approval based on the representations made during the call. My account was then charged $1,025 by a company called Quantive, even though Quantive had never been identified or disclosed to me. I have been unable to reach anyone at Quantive. I later checked my application directly through the official USPTO system and learned that it had not even been assigned for review. I reported the transaction as fraudulent and disputed it with my bank. Lamont Law Group has emailed and called me. I have not responded during this investigation. Please remember that information in a trademark application becomes publicly available. A caller’s knowledge of your name, application, or trademark does not prove that the person represents the USPTO. Verify everything independently through the official USPTO website and contact information before providing payment details or recorded authorization.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Walton Vacations

I filled out a card at a mall, enter to win a Bahamas vacation. Apparently I won, they texted me. I had to listen to a 20 min spiel about this not being a timeshare, but it was a solo trip. If I chose to bring someone, it would be 39.98 at that moment (like I’m going to just give out my info over the phone-sarcasm there) and it would go from a 4 day 3 night trip to a 7 day 6 night for only 59.00 per night for extra person. Went to their website, every other option in the drop down menu works except the “my account login” which I had set up with my email over the phone. I wanted to look at it before deciding.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product

Received a Counterfeit Product from Ravuoir.com. I ordered a dress that I saw on Pinterest from the online store Ravuoir.com. When I got my order confirmation it came from a different web address: Grinte.shop. The dress I ordered (attached) was absolutely nothing to what I received. (attached). At first they offered 30% refund and I could keep the "dress". Then they offered 40-50% refund to keep the "dress". I went to the USPS to get an estimate of the international shipping expenses and it was $36. I paid $42 for the dress and $10 in shipping. Completely fraudulent. At this point, I don't believe I will even get the 40-50% refund that they offered. There was another Scam Tracker report dated 3.27.26 reporting Counterfeit Product. This is the 3rd time I've ordered a dress I found on Pinterest through a fake website and received the wrong dress, the wrong color. Just awful.

Received three items from this business. The return process is extra long and they refuse to return my money while they claim theres still an active chargeback going on. The website advertises silk scarves, and they sent me only one silk scarf and the rest were fake polyester. I do not believe this is an authentic business, it falsely advertises what it sends to customers, and has a very long dragged out timeline for refunds/ returns. My (return) package has been stuck in Chinese customs for 34 days, and they are unable to give me clarity on what is holding up the chargeback process other than blaming Shopify for it.
