Hello Association for Financial Professionals,
I hope this message finds you well.
We recently received an inquiry from another party seeking to file a trademark application for the “Association for Financial Professionals” During our review, we noted that your business has an established history of using this name, which may provide you with a stronger basis for protection under the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. §1051 et seq.), the primary U.S. trademark law.
As a matter of practice, we give priority to the established business to consider filing first. The U.S. Patent and Trademark Office operates on a first-to-file system, meaning whoever submits the application first will generally be given priority to the rights.
If you wish to proceed, we can assist with preparing and filing your application to help secure exclusive rights to the name. If not, the application process may continue with the other party.

I am writing to express my serious concerns regarding this job opportunity, which appears to be fraudulent.
After further review, I have identified several red flags:
1. There is no professional record or profile available for Victor Wagner.
2. The communication makes no mention of the recent acquisition by J&J.
3. The proposed payment method via check is highly unusual for a legitimate position.
4. There is a lack of alternative contact information, alongside an insistence on conducting the process entirely over email.
Due to these inconsistencies, I believe this is an employment scam and have reported the matter.

Placed an order online with expedited shipping for next-day delivery by 1 p.m. EST on 8/22. The order never arrived. I called customer support and spoke to a representative. They said it would be delivered the next day (8/23), and I would get confirmation. Delivery was not received. Confirmation about delivery was never received. I called the company again. Over the course of 30 phone calls and 4 days, I was either hung up on, waited on hold for 20 minutes and then hung up on, or transferred to an AI assistant who could never find my order number and then would hang up on me when trying to transfer the call to a "live assistant".
I have yet to get in contact with a live person to assist.
I finally called my Credit Card company on 8/25 to dispute the charges.

Found this site on internet putting in corelle dinner wear. The prices were great, put in order, gave credit card info. but when I pressed complete or done? the thinking circle came on for a long time, when it finally went thru it stated it could not process my order, tried again same thing. Went to look for reviews, none, the site itself has no address, phone # and customer service has nothing on it. I found the one address as to where you would send back items. When I went to [email protected] it took you to customer service which has no info. at all, nor phone #. My phone showed request for code that I don't believe I made. Called my bank, they found that there was a inquiry? that tried to get the card into wallet. Had card canceled. Something is very shady, smells like a scam. Should have checked them out before placing call but even after I did there was nothing about it, no reviews.

This incident was related to the file complaint I had with BL PROPERTIES GROUP LLC under the name John Mendoza.
Even though this has a different name Michael Barreto, and company name Merit Properties Group, LP - I think they are related because they sent me the same offers and at the same time. The offer in the email is almost identical and the website in their company is almost the same. It's worth checking to, and to be aware that they might be using different names under one group of scammers.

The website advertises crab snacks. According to their website, each bag you buy is supposed to contain approximately 200 crab snacks I only paid $51 for the six bags which is still too much. According to their website the retail price on these six bags is $228. Once I receive the product, I count 10 to 15 snacks per bag which is a far cry from 200. It says right on their website that I should be getting 1200. I tried to contact them on this issue. The phone number that they provide on their website is out of service. I tried two separate emails to the email address they provide on their website which both were unsuccessful. You can see by the photos that I've included that this company is false advertising and misleading people. They didn't ship me what I ordered according to their website. There's no way to get in contact with them after you make a purchase because all the information they provide on their website doesn't work. I'm filing this complaint to make sure that in the future this company doesn't scam anyone else. In the pictures I provided you can clearly see that there is far from 200 in each bag. Some of the bags you can see more bag than product. Hopefully you will put an end to this so they don't scam people in the future.

On 8/12/2026, I was targeted by an online employment scam involving a fraudulent job offer and a fake check. I was contacted by a scammer posing as a representative for BL Properties Group, LLC . After an online communication/interview process, I was sent an employment offer. Shortly after, I received a physical FedEx overnight package containing a counterfeit check intended to be used for equipment purchases or onboarding expenses. Key Details of the Fraud: Shipping Origin: The FedEx overnight envelope listed a return address for a printing company called "Camerique Inc."Address Used: The address associated with the sender/company is 19141 Golden Valley Rd, Suite 1001, Santa Clarita, CA 91387. Upon investigation, this physical address belongs to a retail Staples store, and "Suite 1001" is a completely fabricated office unit used to create a false sense of legitimacy. The Check: A physical check was enclosed in the package, drawn on a fabricated or compromised account, representing a classic "overpayment" or "fake check" employment scam designed to trick me into depositing funds and wiring money back before the check bounces. I did not cash or deposit the check, and I am reporting this incident to log the fraudulent activity, protect other potential victims, and create an official record

Applied for a job with Five Star Bath Solutions via Indeed. Received notification via Indeed message from David Owitz that I did not receive an interview but referred me to [email protected] that had openings for remote positions. I reached out to this person regarding the position. After email exchanges, determined a trial position to determine if it was a good fit for both. Then I was asked to research flights for a convention he was attending with specifics on dates, traveling from, to, etc. Provided a list of options via proposal. Then to pay for the expenses, sent me a check that I regrettably deposited and processed two separate purchases of bit coin and sent to him. Once I notified him my bank declined the check after I was already out $1,500, his email address suddenly no longer exists. My bank has since cut ties with me and frozen my accounts and money and I am under investigation and now a risk. I am without money, will have a hard time getting a new checking account and don't know how I am going to pay it back which I know I need to.

Saw ad on Instagram and purchased eye masks for dry eyes. They are advertised to heat up and stay hot to a certain temperature for 20 mins. They do not. They get barely lukewarm (I even measured and sent them the proof in photographs to prove they don't work) so are completely useless. When I said I want my money back they used stall tactics (to try to push me past their 30 return policy) and kept maintaining that the masks work and that I should keep trying. Their policy is to provide money back (and not charge shipping) if the merch is defective, which it obviously is. But they refused to refund (offered a tiny portion in refund) and said they would only refund if I sent the merch back at my own cost all the way to California. That shipping would have been expensive (I refused and quoted their return policy) but I very much doubt they would have refunded if I'd sent it back. (They also charged me twice.) Initially I might have gotten a response from a bot, but I think it was mostly responses from a person but they got more and more rude and obnoxious the longer the email chain went on. I reported the issue to my credit card company and that is currently in progress. DO NOT BUY this product, it is a complete and total scam.

First saw the posting in Facebook Marketplace about a data entry position and I texted the person.
The person from Facebook then gave me an email address so I could contact this person [email protected].
Pretty much got the job within couple hours.
In the conditional offer email, they asked me to go through onboarding which includes "watching training video, setting up myself in the system, and going through an initial interview."
One of the steps in account setup involves just remaining online for 40 minutes and someone from the company would reach out and finalize setting up my employee profile - no one ever showed up.
That's when things started not looking right so I started looking up the business online and found out their team member photos are all generated by AI. When looking up each lawyer's name in Supreme Court of Colorado, none of their name shows up in the system.
Everything looks really legit but it's 100% a scam.
Honestly, I didn't go too far in the process but things are just really sketchy and they even hired someone called "Elena" to talk to you on a call. This lady would claimed that she has been with the company for 9 years but then she's just reading off a script. When asked about how she likes the job and whether she's met the team, she would just get really vague and uncomfortable.

I have received multiple calls from different phone numbers related to this company. The phone call goes directly to voicemail without an opportunity to block the call. A voicemail is left offering a personal loan that I never applied for. I have tried to block the numbers but continually get calls from different numbers. I contacted them directly and you don’t speak to a live person. You speak to a bot. When asking to speak with someone they want you to confirm information how much money you want to borrow, etc. before you can even speak to a live person.

Better Business Bureau Complaint – Resume.io Billing Dispute
I am filing this complaint because I believe Resume.io handled my billing unfairly and refused to resolve the issue despite my attempts to contact them promptly.
I initially noticed a $3 charge on my credit card that I did not fully understand or intend to authorize. As soon as I became aware of it, I contacted Resume.io through their customer support explaining that I did not agree to the charge and requesting assistance. I never received a response to that request.
Because my original message went unanswered, my account was later charged approximately $30 for a subscription that I did not knowingly enroll in or intend to purchase. I was unaware that accepting the initial offer would result in an automatically renewing subscription. Had my first request been answered, I would have canceled immediately and this charge could have been avoided.
I never created or downloaded a resume using Resume.io, and I received no meaningful benefit from the subscription. I contacted the company again immediately after discovering the $30 charge and requested a refund. Instead of addressing the fact that my original support request had gone unanswered, they simply cited their cancellation policy and refused to issue a refund.
My concern is not simply that I was charged for a subscription, but that I attempted to resolve the issue early, received no timely customer support, and was then denied a refund after the company failed to respond to my initial request.
I am requesting that Resume.io issue a full refund of the subscription charge as a fair resolution to this matter. I made good-faith efforts to contact the company before the subscription renewed, did not knowingly intend to subscribe, did not use the service, and believe the company’s handling of my complaint was unfair.
I appreciate the Better Business Bureau’s assistance in helping resolve this matter.

The Ultimate Protection charge is $9.95 and I clicked on "No. Thank you". When my order was complete, $9.95 still showed as a part of total $30.95. The ultimate protection charge is a red flag as I chose to opt out of it.
There are other red flags (see attached for ref):
1. "The payment will be processed by seronline."
2. "Oli Ve and Evy operates as an authorized affiliate and marketing partner of seronline. This means: We promote and market services on behalf of seronline. " Oli Ve should be Olive
3. "Please note due to high demand for your product, your order make take a few extra days to arrive." the correct word should be may not make. A reputable online site should not make this error.
4. If there is a high demand for the product, they should have mentioned it on the product page.
5. Right away I checked my credit card and found out there are 2 separate charges $9.95 and $70.98 ( from marenonline.com) that I do not recognize. However, my total purchase was in the amount of $30.95 as showed on my receipt.
