Used the website (easyaudioshop.com) to buy a parts for a cd player but when it came to the payment I didn't receive any invoice or tracking number. Also the payment showed i used paypal which i didn't. Next day noticed other transactions on my card which are not related to the initial transaction. Had My bank block the card and it was investigated. I noticed i was receiving email with different email addresses asking to pay for the part again as the transaction failed, which it didn't. Also I was asked to pay different amounts of 51 to 64 dollars in 8 different emails. After contacting my bank again and told them I never received anything they where investigating the charge of $89 and they noticed the charge was to the following site https://lunibella.com/ which was a site for dresses in hong kong. I goggled the transaction of N2P*V porsin that it showed on this BBB and saw the website on the search engine. Also the site easyaudioshop.com is using pictures from another website instrumentalparts.com as their logo is showen on most of their pictures. Buyer beware of this site.

It was a Groupon deal to have my roof cleaned of moss and gutters cleaned. It took me over a month to get an appointment and they did not show up for two different appointments I set up. Then they quit answering my phone calls all together. I did get a refund from groupon but they are still posting deals on the site. They were essentially trying push my out until my deal expired in May.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - Harper Meds

I signed up for a GLP1 medication and was asked to send in my previous prescription. I was at the max dose of 15 mg. They IMMEDIATELY, within a few hours of getting my card info, charged my card the three month cost and overnight shipped me the LOWEST dose. When I complained and said hey I sent my previous prescription the same time as my card info, they claimed there was a "glitch". I reached out at least 10 times over three weeks, I tried calling and emailing and contacting support via the website and got variations of the same canned message. After three weeks no resolution came and I filed a fraud charge with my bank, as they did not send the agreed upon medication and chose not to resolve the issue they created.

Online Purchase

I placed an order with an online retailer called GimmeHoop on March 30, 2026 (Order #11304) for a Bugs Bunny surfboard (63 inches) totaling $579.80 including shipping. The company stated that the order would ship within 3–5 business days. It has now been well beyond that timeframe, and I have not received the product, any shipping confirmation, or tracking information. I contacted the company on April 6 and again on April 9 requesting an update and tracking details. I did not receive any response to either inquiry. At this point, I have paid for a product that has not been delivered, and the company has been completely unresponsive. There has been no communication or proof that the item was ever shipped. Based on this experience, I believe this may be a fraudulent or deceptive business practice, and I am reporting it to help prevent others from experiencing the same issue.

Counterfeit Product - EmSense

I was on the EMSense website looking at one of their products and looked to see how much the product would cost all-in, including shipping. In order to see the total, I had to tell them what method of payment I would be using. I picked one and it automatically charged me. There wasn't an "order now" or "submit" button indicating I would be ordering. I immediately contacted them and advised them to cancel but then was told it was too late and they had it shipped the next day. I contacted them to return the product and they advised I have to pay for return shipping. I told them I would not be doing that and they would need to pick it up on their own. I looked online and apparently this has happened to other people as well. In the email attachment, please scroll to the bottom where I tell them to cancel the order immediately. If you google search "EMSense" it reports that the BBB has received multiple complaints from people regarding deceptive checkout practices among other things.

Ring Planet is a SCAM Received a cold call from "Frontier" ,our current provider, and they stated that the copper lines are being discontinued and they are offering to send us free desktop phones for our company's landlines. When I questioned them repeatedly about there being a catch, nothing is free, they just repeated angrily that the FCC is requiring free phones be offered due to the phase out. Then they sent me an email document to sign and were very pushy about filling it out quickly. I read through the document and nowhere on it did it mention Frontier. When I asked the rude man on the phone why there is no mention of Frontier and why does it show that I would have to pay over $700 when he repeated multiple times that it was free, he became even more rude. I finally hung up and as soon as I did, the virtual document was blocked on his end. Glad I am smart enough to not fall for this type of scam, hopefully others will see through it as well.

Employment - Salford Property

Hey BBB team, I hope you're doing well. I am an unfortunate victim of the scammer by the name of David Holloway (If that's even his real name). I was reached out via email on a Tuesday night April 7th, 2026 thanking me for applying for a Marketing Special Role with [email protected] and to please send over a updated resume so that we may proceed with the next steps of a interview process. I responded thanking them for the consideration and sent over my updated resume. A minute after I've received email message error that my email wasn't delivered. So the next day I sent a follow up email adding [email protected] and [email protected] for visibility asking for next steps. In my head I figured if I still don't recieve a response to move on. Within the next hour I've recieve a follow up email from Salford Property team giving me a brief description of the role as well as assessment questions. David (the scammer) then reached out to me via call to confirmed that I've recieved the email. I informed that I did and that I'll follow up with my answers by EOD today. By 5:15pm I've sent over all of my assessment answers. Then by 7:49pm I've recieved a congrations on passing the assessment exam as well as rhe next steps moving forward. Essentially informing me within the next 2 weeks I'll begin training on the company systems, content strategies, and social media platforms. That I'll recieve $1,000 for completing the training. Lastly, if I confirm to accept the offer to provide them with my full name, address, and cell number. Normally I'm more caution when it comes to email like this. However as I've previously stated I've went through around 3 interviews in the pass week all ended in rejection. So hearing a acceptance like this was like a shining light in a dark tunnel. I confirm the offer, shared my personal information, and waited for the next steps. The next day we hopped on a call and David informed that he will send over a image of a check to me to send to my bank for $6,700. This allocated fund would cover my home equipment along with my $1,000 training check. I sent over the check to my bank and let David know that I've recieved the check however the bank put it on hold until April 18th, 2026. Which in hindsight should have been the nail on the coffin that this was a scam. Unfortunately, I missed this sign as well. Ultimately, David asked for me to send over an image of my ID as well as my SSN in order for them to enter my in there systems. And sadly due to prior experience with provide a company with said information in the past I've shared that with David as well. Thus, marking myself as a victim of this scammer. I hope that my story help catch David and remove him off of these streets once and for all. Enjoy the rest of your week. Please see the attached for contract sent to me for reference.

The total amount billed is only shown AFTER entering your card info, and does not confirm that total with you beforehand. I immediately cancelled the subscription, got in touch with my bank to report the transaction as fraudulent, and received an email saying my cancellation is confirmed shortly after. QR Code Creator sent me an email this morning (4/13/2026) saying that a "refund of $133.20 has been successfully processed and sent to [my] original payment method..." and will be received in 5-14 business days, but "if the refund does not appear after this period, [they] recommend contacting [my] bank or card provider directly for further clarification." I did not initiate this refund process and based on the wording, I am highly doubtful it will be honored and my bank will be blamed. After reporting the transaction as fraud, my bank had to cancel my card so I will be stopping by later today to order a new card and discuss this issue with them.
