Counterfeit Product

Saw a beautiful dress on line from a company called Mooyius. Ordered the dress using credit card. Several weeks went by and dress arrived looking nothing like dress on line using stiff fabric and poorly made. . . and also didn’t fit my body. Tried to return the dress. Mooyius would not give me a return address even though I stated that I wanted a refund to the original payment and that I would return the dress at my own expense. Instead, they sent me the exact same poorly fitted, poorly made, poor quality dress in the next size up while I was away on vacation. Immediately on my return from vacation, I notified support@Mooyius that I wanted to return both dresses. Please send me the address so that I can mail back at my own expense and that (again) I wanted my refund. At this, the online support (chat) informed me that I had not returned the items within 14 days and that would not accept a return and not refund any money. What a scam!!! Just list $189.00

Online Purchase

It looks like this company only has an online presence. CONSUMER ALERT! BUYER BEWARE!!!! This is a warning to all my friends. Whatever you do, NEVER ORDER FROM THIS COMPANY ORFOLIA! It is a SHAM!!! The webiste looks amazing but it is fake. I placed an order and what they send me was no where close to what I ordered. There was a money back guarantee on the website but again this is a scam. I have been back and forth with them at least 4 times. I finally contacted my credit card company to dispute the payment and hopefully I can get my money back. I went on their facebook page and saw the posts similar to what happened to me. ________________________________________________ Here is one of the many emails I sent to them... Customer Service Orfolia, I am and EXTREMELY OUTRAGED customer, Your website says and I quote “100% Risk Free Ironclad Guarantee – Your Satisfaction Our Promise”We stand behind our products with absolute confidence—and we promise that in writing. If you’re not completely satisfied for any reason—no excuses, no complicated forms—contact us and we’ll promptly arrange a free replacement of full or refund. This is our no-nonsense commitment to you: shop with total peace of mind.” Well I am 0000% satisfied. How you could send me items pictured above in place of what I actually ordered is OUTRAGESOUS!!! _______________________________________ Here is one of their replies. They want me to keep the junk they sent. It appears to me that if I send it back they are not responsible if it gets "Lost in the mail". Dear Customer, I'm sorry for the issue with your order. We are so sorry to hear that you are not willing to accept this suggestion. This is the best proposal that I can provide to you, but in this case, I have checked with our manager, we would like to offer you an exceptional proposal which will be provided to you only: how about we provide a 20% refund for the product. Otherwise, you will cost more than 20USD for shipping the product back to us and customers need to be responsible for the returning shipping fee. However, due to the instability of logistics, we do not recommend that you return the package. Otherwise, we will not bear the losses caused by logistics. I would be very grateful if you would accept our offer. I look forward to hearing from you. Again, thank you for contacting us! Have a great day. Best regards! customer service Eva ____________________________________________________ RUN DONT WALK FROM THE COMPANY!!!!

Online Purchase - Jollyful

Jollyfuls at the time was selling synthetic plants.. I purchased two plants that never arrived at all. They say they shipped it sent me a tracking number for a bogus delivery third party company that’s part of there scam. The delivery company has zero contact information unless you pay the delivery company more money to tell you where your package is at.. I paid rapid delivery and 5 months later still nothing! Jollyfuls changes their website with different products on the page every few weeks to make it look like it’s a different company than the one you purchased from. Now Jollyfuls is selling jewelry! They’re scamming people out of their money! Not shipping anything at all.. When I reached out to Jollyfuls they said I received my packing it was shipped to CA.. I live in WA State! When I told Jollyfuls I live in WA State not CA they sent me a FedEx tracking number that isn’t valid at all!! What happened to the third party company 17Track that was supposedly the carrier with my package that was out for delivery. I don’t live in CA it was a way from Jollyfuls to try and distract me from reporting their fraud!! Anything listed as Jollyfuls is a SCAM!!!!!

Online Purchase

I was shopping online for appliances and came across Prime Home Appliances at primehomeappliances.com. I became concerned about the legitimacy of the business when I learned that they would not accept a credit card and instead required payment through services such as Zelle, Cash App, or Chime. I asked whether I could pick the appliances up directly from their warehouse so I could verify the business and merchandise in person. I did not receive a response to that question. However, when I previously indicated that I was interested in purchasing the appliances, they responded immediately. I then contacted the City of Richmond in an attempt to verify the warehouse address that Prime Home Appliances provided. The city was unable to verify that the business was renting or owned the establishment associated with the address I was given. Prime Home Appliances also claims to have a warehouse in Texas and to be part of the “Prime Home Warehouse Network.” There were also several concerns with their online presence. Their Facebook page displays reviews, but I could not find any option on the page for a customer to actually leave a review. In addition, the phone number displayed on their website contains too many digits and appears to be invalid. Because they would not accept a credit card, required payment through person-to-person payment services, did not respond when I asked to pick up the appliances at their warehouse, and I was unable to independently verify the Richmond warehouse location through the city, I did not feel comfortable sending payment. I did not complete the purchase or send any money. I am submitting this report because these circumstances raised significant concerns about the legitimacy of the business and I believe other consumers should exercise caution before sending funds.

Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Chime impostor

The person pretended to be from Chime fraud department. They said they were looking into some transactions on my account and were investigating so they could get me a refund. They told me to wait at least 36 hours to give them time to complete their investigation and get my money returned. And of course I fell for it, When I logged into my bank all my money was gone, Plus the little I had in savings. I'm on SS and I don't get that much to begin with and this is just devastating to me. They used the app Zelle-Netlify. I'm still fighting this dispute but they were so good that my bank has declined my dispute so far because they said they could find no errors in the transactions. But I will not give up.

Employment

For their potential employment screening, they have you complete "tasks". Most of the tasks only involve looking up products on their site, clicking the ??, then screenshot and send it to admin. However, there are "prepaid" tasks that are not mentioned ahead of time. With these, there are 4 levels to choose from. Then you have to go to CashApp and put money in it, then change it to bitcoin, because they deal with merchants from different countries. You are then instructed to "buy" a certain product on their site. Once verified, they supposedly will refund your money, plus a commission. They say that it lets the merchant see that their product is visible on the website. On August 30, 2026 I signed up for this and went through the tasks. We had a prepaid task for $98. I knew I couldn't afford to lose it, but I paid my $98. Of course, they insist that you complete all 8 tasks before they can refund your money. The 8th task was another Prepaid Task for $380. I didn't have the money and had no way to get it until my Social Security check came in. I got it today and was so excited to complete the final task and get my money. I contacted Administration and they walked me through, step by step, until we got to the part where I actually had to pay for the product. They gave me 3 instructions at once and included a tiny screenshot with arrows drawn on it. I followed the instructions as best as I could, but when I submitted it, they asked why I only purchased one product. I said I didn't see anywhere that said how many to purchase. When blowing up the screenshot, I finally found a tiny box under the tip of one of the arrows that showed quantity of 2. I was told I had caused a very serious problem. I expected them to say that I would not be hired and then keep my money. However, while we were waiting for the transaction to be verified, "the merchant said they want the other task completed also". That task was for $1280.00. I had already told them that they had wiped out my bank account and that I could not pay anything more, because I had finally realized that every time I gave them money, something was wrong and I had to give them even more money to "fix" the problem. I have been messaging back and forth for quite a while, but they insist on keeping the money until I complete the latest task.

Online Purchase - RebeccaJohnsonFamily

I went to buy a Bernese mountain dog puppy that was listed as 650$ to adopt. I was told I’d have to pay 500$ as a deposit and then 350$ once I picked him up for a total off of 850$( the extra money was for “delivery”). The morning I was supposed to pick him up they sent me a message saying I would need to spend an extra 700$ for a climate controlled crate for the dog to be able to fly. No such thing exists and I immediately realized what was happening and I couldn’t believe it. Then a different number who I was told was the “shipper” then sent me a picture of a slightly different dog than the one I was supposed to get. I called them out on it and the fake shipper stopped replying. The fake breeder however started getting aggressive and acting like I was crazy. He finally answered the phone and the accent seemed to be that of an English man. Nothing he said made sense and it was obvious it was a scam. He then sent me what I can only assume is someone’s real or fake drivers lisence that he stole which proves nothing. He also sent a breeding chart thing which again proves nothing. We also ended up reverse image searching the dog we were supposed to get named Theo who was a boy and found out that it’s actually stolen pictures from a girl on TikTok and “THEO” was actually a girl dog…I hope this report reaches the right people so no one else falls victim to this scam.

Online Purchase

Thought I was purchasing a hand held breathing device known as a nebulizer. When buying it asked if I wanted insurance for an extra 9.99. I said no, but I was charged anyways. The price of the nebulizer was 25.99 with free shipping. Not only was I charged 25.99, they added on the 9.99 anyways and again charged 9.99 for the insurance. I called the number listed when I was over charged and they said they would reemburse my money, they never did. I contacted my back they reversed the charges to me. Then 4 days later I was charged another 39.99 from same company and I never recieved any products. I have to cancel my card and get a new one. This has caused me over 113.00 dollars and the headache of notifiying all the companies that I have set up direct pay with. This company says they are out of Pomana, but address doesn't exsit and when doing futher investigation it looks like a China based company. Please do not get scammed by Nuviasports.com, or Belroshop,com or Shopzaven.com. I am sure there is more they even try scamming through Amazon.

Counterfeit Product - Marlow Market, UniUni

I ordered a Homemade Harvest Autumn Wreath from the Marlow Market website that was described as homemade by a 74 yr old and her granddaughter in Stowe VT in their "garden shed' using "maple leaves pressed at peak color" and "wild rosehips from the old stone wall gathered on Ruth's own land and wired by hand to a bent cedar base" I received an email that the wreath had been delivered by a delivery service UniUni who provided 2 "delivery confirmation" photos. One photo was a house number address completely different from mine, and the other photo of a pkg in a location on a "front porch" that looked nothing like a front porch. When I responded back to the email from Marlow Market stating I did not receive the wreath and it had been delivered to the wrong address, and communicated with a "chat box" with UniUni both of them said to " check with my neighbors " to see if it had been delivered to them, and that the package had been delivered to the correct address despite the clear difference in the house address numbers. Apparently it was delivered to someone over a mile away from me because he was honest enough to bring me the package this morning stating it had been delivered to his home by mistake. When I opened the pkg there was a very cheaply made plastic flower and leaf wreath on a cheap plastic base that I could have purchased this cheaply made wreath at Dollar Tree for $3 and was nothing like the 'home made" wreath I had ordered for $49.99. The return address on the package was UniUni From:Dept Contact: 5353 W Imperial Hwy. STE 200/300.

Online Purchase

The ad popped on my iPad,the product ( bra tees ) supposedly had great reviews and I recited an email saying they would be delivered in 14 to 21 days I was given an order number-1227-108980. No further communication . After reading negative reviews I have been trying to contact them to cancel the order and the email I have Elishacharm,com comes back as address not found and I don’t have another. My order was August 31 which is within the 14-21 day lead time I was told originally but not since I can not contact them and after I have read so many negative reviews I am wanting to cancel the order and get a refund. Any help you can give is appreciated. I feel like the company is targeting seniors hoping we won’t report them.
