A close reading of the mailing shows: 1) No return address, website, or email address - just a toll-free number to call. 2) Letter states "Our records indicate that you have not contacted us regarding your vehicle service contract", which is trying to imply that I have an existing business relationship with them. 3) In the fine print at the bottom, it indicates the policy is through Golden Protection Group - no other information.

Employment - Aequilibrium Impostor

I was contacted by individuals claiming to represent Aequilibrium Inc. regarding a remote Account Executive position. The initial recruitment email came from [email protected] and identified the recruiter as Ava Hall, Talent Acquisition Specialist. I was instructed to schedule an interview with an individual identifying herself as Dr. Grace Wilson, Hiring Manager, through Microsoft Teams. I completed the interview process through Microsoft Teams and subsequently received an employment offer letter using Aequilibrium's name and branding. The offer stated that I would be paid $55 per hour, or $2,200 per 40-hour week. During the Teams conversation, I was also told that the Account Executive position had a 50/50 base/variable compensation structure, 10% commission on new ARR, and quota accelerators. As part of what I believed was a legitimate employment onboarding process, I provided sensitive personal information, including a copy of my government-issued ID, my Social Security number, home address, and a completed W-4. I did not provide banking information or send any money. I later discovered significant inconsistencies indicating that the individuals contacting me may be impersonating the legitimate Aequilibrium company. Most notably, the recruitment communications came from [email protected] rather than an Aequilibrium corporate email domain. The employment offer also contained unfinished template language in the benefits section, and the compensation information in the written offer did not match the commission structure communicated through Microsoft Teams. I am reporting this because my personal identifying information was obtained through what appears to be a fraudulent employment recruitment/onboarding process using Aequilibrium's name. I have since frozen my credit reports with all three major credit bureaus, placed a fraud alert, and obtained an IRS Identity Protection PIN. I have retained the emails, Microsoft Teams communications, and employment offer letter as evidence.

I posted this review on https://www.trustpilot.com/review/lookvelvet.com. Others report the same issues with this company. FAKE BUSINESS! DON'T BUY FROM THIS BUSINESS! THEY ARE SCAMMERS! Yes, I agree with all the comments in this website. I also orders some shorts and pants. Their tracking systems (Global Logistics Track Platform) says it was delivered, but I never received anything and they don't even want to say which carrier they used. They said they sent a second shipment with my orders and it also said it was delivered, but I never received anything. I requested a refund and they told me the carrier would only refund 70%. I told them I did not purchase from a carrier and that they have return a 100% of my refund and they agree. But they are giving me the run around. In my opinion, I believe they are shipping probably illegal items to the US and using our address. They also have this company listed in New Jersey, but it is really in China. I also believe the order tracking system they use is managed by the same scammers and it is fake. I am reporting this to the authorities.

He then proceeded to ask me to add myself as a payee, to which I asked “is this a scam?” I then was threatened by the caller that he would process the transactions as I was asking too many questions, and also asked me to google the phone number, to which I said that phone numbers can be spoofed and that it doesn’t mean anything. He then hung up the phone, probably as I wasn’t about to be scammed. I then phoned Chase who confirmed that nothing was wrong and that it was indeed a scam call.

Online Purchase

I contacted the seller through PetzLover about a puppy named Mark. The seller was using the name “Marcel John” and phone number (650) 918-7795. In the messages, the seller presented themselves as a woman and mother of three and said the puppy was vaccinated, microchipped, health tested, and came with medical and bloodline paperwork. The seller repeatedly asked me to send a deposit through Zelle before providing the requested verification. I asked for a live video of the puppy, the full microchip number, and vaccination records, but the seller kept delaying or refusing to provide them before payment. After I contacted the seller, the seller called me from the same number, and the person on the phone was a man, which did not match the identity presented in the messages. I also discovered that this seller has multiple PetzLover listings for different puppies and breeds, which raised additional concerns about whether the animals and information in the ads are legitimate. Because of the inconsistent information, refusal to provide proof, multiple listings, and pressure to send money through Zelle, I believe this was an attempted pet scam. Please investigate this account, phone number, and all related listings to help prevent other buyers from being scammed.
