On August 4th this year 2026 I found their advertisement online and placed an order for an 8x10 Suncast BMS 8100 Tremont storage shed. They gave me an order number of ******. My email and told me that when the item was ready to ship they would send me an email with my tracking number. Never happened. I emailed them over five times asking them about a tracking number, then finally started asking them for a refund. I heard nothing not one thing.

Hey, this is Ryan Weber. Um, I didn't expect to get your voicemail, so I apologize for that. But the reason why I'm calling is that I have a pending legal matter that's being tied directly to your social and also to your ID. Um, the paperwork actually says that I need either you or a responsible adult from your residence to give me a call back. Um, the holidays are actually coming up soon, so I want to give you an opportunity for you to make your statement for the record, or I will be forced to sign off on your behalf. Um, I'm actually really concerned about maintaining your privacy regarding this pending legal matter. So when you get this message, give me a call as soon as possible. I'm only taking lunch for about 30 minutes today. So I'm gonna be available when you call back the office. Just call back in and ask to speak directly to Ryan, and I'll be able to explain everything to you in detail.

Employment - Top Talent Planet and GumGum

Unsolicited job/task scam impersonating Top Talent Planet and GumGum. Two phone numbers were used: (628) 254-7089 and (808) 590-6033. The recruiter supplied three purported GumGum work-platform domains: gummyxo.com, productgum.com, and gummyrev.com. They advertised $150–$200/day for 1–2 hours of work and eventually advised temporarily disabling security software when the sites were blocked. The attached PDF contains the complete chronological screenshots and details. No money was lost and no sensitive information was provided.

Online Purchase

The scam at Honeypacks.com involves a buy two get one free offer where they actually charge for the third item and the third item is also a monthly subscription. Upon emailing (there is no phone number) and asking for a refund and saying I am not interested in a subscription, they promised a refund and even acknowledged that the third item was supposed to be free. A month later and not only is the refund nowhere to be found, but they just pulled from my credit card for the first month of the subscription I told them I was not interested in. Now, they will not respond to contact from me. If you're going to order Thai Honey, do it from Amazon - a reputable site that will prevent fraud. I have challenged the charges on my card and submitted the email traffic backing this up to justify the claim. Caveat Emptor.

Online Purchase - Bentgochillbox.com (pretending to be Bentgo.com)

I thought I was shopping from Bentgo.com (a website with lunchboxes for adults and children) but I was instead at bentgochillbox.com. I was ordering from a mobile web browser and the website seemed legitimate. (I later looked at this website on a desktop and it is obviously unprofessional in appearance.) I placed an order but it seemed to get stuck at a strange Visa verification screen. It eventually said Order Received, gave me an order number, and said I paid through Stripe. I never got email verification of the purchase, and it never showed a charge on my card, so I emailed their support page and never got a response. Another weird thing happened right after I "made the purchase"--in my email I got notice from my credit card company that I had just added my credit card to an Apple Pay Wallet. This was a red flag to me as I don't have an apple pay wallet. I waited over the weekend just to see if it was a glitch but it wasn't. When I called the customer support at the legitimate Bentgo.com (where I thought I had placed my order) they informed me that I had likely been scammed and asked me the website I ordered from. That is when I saw that I had ordered from Bentgochillbox.com instead of Bentgo.com. After that I locked my credit card and called the credit card company. They were able to confirm that someone had added my card to their Apple Pay wallet. Thankfully no fraudulent charges had been made yet. I have cancelled my card. Another thing of note is that the support phone number listed on the phony website goes to someone's personal voicemail instead of a legitimate company. Another major red flag. I never talked to an actual person there, just heard the voicemail message.

Online Purchase - Retail Clothing Website Scam

This site has repeatedly denied me the right to return for a full refund despite their money back guarantee. I have issued a dispute with my bank. I am declining both the 30% partial refund and the store voucher. I have repeatedly requested to return this merchandise for a refund, beginning on August 13, and I remain willing to return the merchandise in accordance with the return policy published on your website. Your published policy states that customers may return an order within 30 days of delivery, that return shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer, that there is no restocking fee, and that once the returned merchandise is received and inspected, a refund will be issued to the original payment method. Your most recent email states that your “standard refund policy allows for a maximum refund of 20%.” That statement directly conflicts with the return and refund policy published on your website. The published policy I relied upon does not state that refunds are limited to 20%. I am not requesting that you allow me to keep the merchandise and receive a partial refund. I am requesting to return the merchandise and receive the refund provided for under your published return policy. Please provide the authorized return address and return instructions so that I can return the merchandise with tracking. If you refuse to provide return instructions and honor the published policy, I will proceed with a dispute through my payment provider and provide them with the published return policy and our complete correspondence documenting my repeated attempts to return the merchandise. Please consider this my final request to resolve the matter directly.

Placed an online order for GLP 1 meds on August 13th. I was approved and it was sent to a "Pharmacy". It is now August 24th and it is still sitting at the "pharmacy". This company has had numerous complaints all about the same issue I am now having. They take your money and do not deliver the medication, and you can't get a hold of anyone because they conveniently do not have a customer service phone number. They reply back with same messages with instructions on how to take meds and dance around the issues you're asking or addressing with them. I have told them I want to cancel the order and no longer want the meds and want my full amount back I paid them which was $489.00. I have filed a dispute with my bank for the charges. I would RUN away from this company. They are a scam entirely and frauds. I don't know why this company hasn't been investigated and shut down.

I placed an order with Curve & Bloom on August 1, 2026. The order was needed for a specific occasion, but it arrived after the date I needed it. Because it arrived late, I did not open the package or use the merchandise. I contacted Curve & Bloom within its advertised 30-day return period and requested to return the unopened order for a full refund. The company's website advertised a 30-day return policy, and I reviewed the Refund Policy and Shipping Policy available on its website. I did not find language clearly stating that customers would be responsible for international return shipping costs. During my correspondence with Curve & Bloom, I was informed that I could return the merchandise for a full refund but would be responsible for shipping it to the return address provided by the company. I questioned this requirement and specifically asked Curve & Bloom to identify the section of its published policy stating that customers are responsible for return shipping costs. Rather than providing the specific policy language I requested, Curve & Bloom repeatedly proposed partial-refund alternatives that would allow me to keep the merchandise. Most recently, the company offered a 50% refund as a "final resolution" and warned that if I disputed the transaction through my bank or card issuer, the review could take 30–60 days, the outcome would not be guaranteed, and the company might no longer be able to issue a refund if the bank ruled in its favor. I declined the partial-refund resolution because I am not seeking to keep the merchandise. The package remains unopened, and I requested the return within the company's stated return period. Curve & Bloom subsequently advised me that my case would be escalated to its Dispute Resolution Support Team and that I would receive further communication within 24–48 hours. I have continued attempting to resolve this matter directly with the company. My concern is not that Curve & Bloom has refused to accept a return altogether. My concern is that I am being required to incur return-shipping expenses that I have been unable to locate as a clearly disclosed requirement in the policies presented to me, despite specifically asking the company to identify where that requirement was disclosed. I am requesting that Curve & Bloom honor its advertised return/refund policy by providing a prepaid return shipping label or otherwise covering the return shipping cost and, upon return of the unopened merchandise, issuing a full refund to my original payment method. I have retained documentation supporting my complaint, including my order information, copies/screenshots of the applicable policies, and my email correspondence with Curve & Bloom regarding the return, partial-refund offers, return-shipping requirement, and escalation.

I saw a YouTube advertisement from USBEST1.com offering portable 32 TB storage drives at an extremely low price. The advertisement claimed the low price resulted from import/export or stranded-shipment problems and emphasized that only a limited number remained. I paid a total of $65 for three drives. The package arrived with three devices and cables, but none of the drives functioned or provided usable storage when connected to my computer. The products appear to be counterfeit, defective, or materially different from what was advertised. I contacted the seller and requested a full refund. The seller offered only a 50% refund while allowing me to keep the unusable products, or a “gift” selected from a different website. I rejected both options and requested a full refund, offering to return the products if the seller provided a prepaid, trackable return label. I opened a dispute through PayPal and submitted the advertisement, product listing, refund policy, emails, and other supporting evidence. I also reported the advertisement to Google and submitted a report to the FTC. Consumers should be extremely cautious about advertisements offering implausibly large-capacity storage devices at unusually low prices. Save the advertisement and all transaction records, and test any storage device before trusting it with important data.

Online Purchase - Warmthof

I ordered 3 bags which were identified as "Quilted". They arrived, not "quilted". I contacted Warmthof and they have refused to give me any return information except for a 15% credit on the next order. I sent them photos of everything and they told me they would not accept returns and I should just give them to somebody. This is a total scam and people should not order from this company.

Online Purchase - Imposter Site

This is another scammer website masquerading as the official Schylling.com website. They’re phishing, scamming, pretending to be the real Schylling online website. This fraudulent site collects customer credit/debit card info, and other data, but never sends purchases. They’re fake. I don’t know where they’re located physically because the fake website doesn’t provide it. They’ve spoofed & copied the authentic website in great detail to make online shoppers think it’s authentic. Please share with leo & others to get this site permanently SHUT down. They’re crooks! Thank you
