I ordered flowers from www.flowersin4hours.com that were supposed to be delivered same day (within 4 hours). The flowers never arrived. When I called the company, every time I pressed a number for one of the options listed, the call disconnected. I then researched the company online and found that many people have reported this to be a fraudulent or scam company that doesn't deliver. I disputed the charge with my credit card company and reported the company to the Better Business Bureau, where I also found many other complaints related to this company.

Other - Sheri and Layne Scottsdale Online Retail and AI Photos Scam

I purchased two dresses from Sheri & Layne Scottsdale for a special occasion. Before ordering, I checked the expected delivery date and allowed plenty of time. However, the dresses had not even been shipped by the expected delivery date and consequently did not arrive in time. Although both dresses were purchased together on the same order, they were shipped separately. I also discovered only after purchasing that my orders were being shipped from China, despite the company presenting itself as “Sheri & Layne Scottsdale.” The first dress was left by the courier outside my apartment door in an unsecured hallway and was subsequently stolen. The courier bypassed both a secure package room with lockers and a concierge desk with access to another secure mail room. The second dress arrived approximately a week later. The sizing was extremely inaccurate—I am a size 0 and the dress has no chance of fitting me. The quality was also appalling: cheap, poorly made and nothing like the product photographs used to advertise it. I have repeatedly contacted Sheri & Layne seeking compensation regarding the stolen dress and instructions to return the second dress for a refund. Despite multiple attempts over approximately two months, I have received generic responses that do not address my specific concerns or provide meaningful instructions for completing the return. I am now substantially out of pocket for two dresses I cannot use and have been unable to obtain the resolution promised under the company’s advertised refund and return policies. I am reporting my experience because I believe other consumers should be aware of the shipping origin, product quality, delivery problems and difficulties I have experienced obtaining a refund or return.

To keep it short, there were months of back and forth with the representative saying to check the tracking numbers multiple times (which were not valid on checking multiple times), asking me to call the US post office (who confirmed no such package was in their system on multiple contacts I made), claimed to send a replacement product (when I threatened to report to BBB), and even claimed they would refund the entire amount immediately (again when I reported I was going to make a BBB complaint). The item never arrived and I received no refund to date.

I was contacted by individuals representing themselves as a legitimate loan company and offering me a personal loan. I believed I was dealing with a real lender and was following what they represented to me as part of the loan approval and funding process. I did not knowingly participate in any fraudulent activity. I received communications from an individual identifying himself as “Brian Marcus” using the telephone number 415-200-6771. I was sent an advertisement using the name “Secure Lending” stating that I had been approved for a personal loan. As part of what they represented as the loan process, a check for $1,762.23 was deposited into my Bank of America account. I believed this was connected to legitimate loan funding. Bank of America initially placed a hold on the check because the bank had information indicating that it might be returned. The check was subsequently returned unpaid. Bank of America’s official notice dated August 18, 2026 identifies the return reason as “Altered/Fictitious.” I did not know that the check was altered or fictitious when it was deposited. The individuals were also instructing me to withdraw or obtain money and send money back to them. In text messages, they instructed me to go to Walmart with cash and wait for them to generate a barcode. They instructed me to place $440 on the barcode and specifically told me “do not mention anything about the loan.” They also instructed me on what to tell Walmart employees if I was questioned about the transaction. I have screenshots documenting these instructions. The individuals also requested sensitive banking information, including an online banking username and password, account number, and routing number. There was also unauthorized activity involving my daughter’s PNC account. The individuals gained access to the account while representing their actions to me as part of the loan process. On August 14, 2026, transactions appeared in the account labeled “Provisional Credit – Dispute Pending” for $170, $63, and $218, totaling $451. A $451 online transfer also appeared as pending. They then wanted me to send approximately $400 back to them. These were not legitimate loan proceeds. I did not authorize anyone to fraudulently dispute transactions, obtain provisional credits, deposit fraudulent checks, or engage in fraudulent banking activity. I believed I was dealing with a legitimate lending company until I realized what was actually occurring. The individuals also directed or attempted to direct me to send money through methods or locations including Walmart, Apple Pay/cards, and Walgreens. This scam caused serious financial consequences. The fraudulent $1,762.23 check was returned as altered/fictitious, and the activity ultimately resulted in problems and closure of my Bank of America and PNC banking relationships. I am reporting this because I believe these individuals are using the appearance of a legitimate lending company and supposed personal loan approvals to gain consumers’ trust, access bank accounts, use fraudulent checks or banking transactions, and then pressure consumers to send money back before the fraudulent transactions are discovered. I have documentation supporting this report, including the original loan advertisement, text-message conversations, the telephone number used, instructions directing me to send money through Walmart, the Walmart barcode they provided, requests for online banking credentials, screenshots of the PNC provisional credits, the Bank of America deposit hold, the returned check, and Bank of America’s official notice identifying the $1,762.23 check as “Altered/Fictitious.” I am submitting these records to document that I was the victim of this scam and to help prevent other consumers from being targeted. I am submitting this as additional information and evidence to supplement my original report. The additional text messages I am uploading show how the individuals continued attempting to obtain money from me while representing themselves as a legitimate loan company. After the Walmart barcode they provided did not work, the individual instructed me to purchase an Apple gift card for $450. He sent me a picture of the type of Apple gift card I was supposed to purchase and repeatedly pressured me to complete the transaction. The individual specifically told me that after I completed this process, he would provide the loan money that had been promised to me. He then instructed me to send him a photograph of the Apple gift card where he could see the card numbers, claiming that he needed to attach the card information to my “loan file” in order to “release” my loan funds. The messages also show the individual creating a sense of urgency and repeatedly pressuring me to hurry. He claimed there was a limited amount of time to return what he called “verification money” and stated that my loan deposit had to be completed that same day. Before attempting the Apple gift card transaction, the individual had instructed me to go to Walmart with cash. He generated a Walmart barcode and instructed me to put $440 on it. Most importantly, he specifically told me not to mention anything about the loan to Walmart employees and coached me on what to say if I was questioned. When the barcode did not work and I told him the situation was beginning to look suspicious to the cashier, he changed the method and instructed me to purchase the $450 Apple gift card instead. I am uploading the actual text-message screenshots showing these instructions. These messages demonstrate that I believed I was completing requirements associated with receiving a legitimate loan while the individuals were attempting to obtain real money from me through gift cards and barcode transactions. I am extremely concerned that these individuals may still be contacting and scamming other consumers using the appearance of a legitimate loan company. This scam has already caused serious consequences for me, including the closure of my banking relationships/accounts with Bank of America and PNC. I respectfully ask BBB to add this evidence to my report and investigate this operation as urgently as possible. I am providing the actual communications so that BBB can see exactly how these individuals represented the transactions as part of a loan, pressured me to send money, and attempted to obtain gift card information from me. PLEASE NOTE: The BBB website is only allowing me to upload one attachment with this report. The attachment I am submitting is only a portion of the evidence and documentation I have regarding this scam. I have substantial additional documentation that I am unable to attach through this form, including additional text-message conversations with the individuals involved, screenshots of their instructions, communications showing their attempts to obtain money through Walmart barcodes and Apple gift cards, banking screenshots, the fraudulent check, and official documentation from my financial institutions concerning the fraudulent activity and the resulting consequences to my accounts. I also have documentation from Bank of America showing that the $1,762.23 check connected to this supposed loan was returned unpaid and identified by the bank as “Altered/Fictitious.” I personally contacted Bank of America regarding this fraudulent activity and what happened to my account. Bank of America advised me to contact and report this matter to the Better Business Bureau, which is one of the reasons I am submitting this report and providing the evidence I have available. I also have additional documentation concerning the unauthorized activity involving the PNC account, as well as documentation concerning the subsequent closure of my banking relationships/accounts with both Bank of America and PNC. There are many additional text messages demonstrating how these individuals represented themselves as a legitimate loan company, promised to release loan funds, pressured me to send money, instructed me to use Walmart barcodes and Apple gift cards, requested photographs showing gift-card information, and instructed me not to disclose to store employees that the transactions were supposedly connected to a loan. I am willing and prepared to provide ALL additional documentation, screenshots, bank records, returned-check documentation, account-closure information, and communications to BBB or the appropriate investigative authorities upon request. Please do not consider the single attachment submitted with this report to be the complete evidence. I have significantly more documentation available that supports my report and demonstrates how this scheme was carried out. I am asking that this matter be taken seriously and investigated as soon as possible. This situation has already resulted in serious consequences for me, including the closure of my banking relationships/accounts with Bank of America and PNC, even though I believed I was dealing with a legitimate loan company. I am extremely concerned that these individuals may still be representing themselves as a legitimate lending company and targeting other consumers. I am asking BBB to review this report and the evidence and take whatever appropriate action is available to help prevent other consumers from becoming victims.

They advertise concert tickets available via "Mobile Transfer," which means Ticketmaster tickets will be transferred to the buyer's name, as on every other ticket platform. But they only provide SecureMyPass. So they aren't transferred to the buyer's name and aren't resellable on more reputable platforms afterward, and they will not refund or resell the tickets either, because there is no way to guarantee a SecureMyPass is the only one available for a seat, because anyone with the URL has access to the ticket. Many scams are known to use SecureMyPass. Just a bad experience with this business.

When I was in ICU I called my agency to ask about this charge. I was told that Royal Caribbean would never charge. My advisor called me back to verify that Royal Caribbean NEVER called and asked for $3000.00 because we cancelled our cruise. We immediately called our bank Bank of America to report this. We sent in proof that I was in the hospital and my agency and Royal Caribbean also gave proof. We know then it was fraud/scam. Bank America has denied our claims twice. When I saw the information he sent to Bank America we were shocked. We knew it was all falsified and his documents didnt even look legal. I work for an agency and I know that anyone can copu letter heads etc. Again, why didn't Bank America pick up on all this false information???

Counterfeit Product

I made an initial purchase. Found product not suitable. Returned product within a day or two of arrival. I had to get return address to return from them via email. At the same time a notified the company of return, i also cancelled the subscription. They reqired a copy of package and mailing label. Once again in delivering this info to them the subject line notified them, return and cancellation of subscription. I return items quickly, they do not lay around and that is why i could not believe when I received notification in my email of payment processed and shipping of this item. Almost a full month was between the return and them process a new transaction. Why i believe this is a scam is because they repeatedly let you know they will only do one return of there product and when i contacted them to ask why they drafted my account fir a subscription i cancelled with more than enough notice to have updated there system, they immediately said to me a policy they knew i knew, "we only do one refund". Is it not apparent this transaction was deliberate and they believe repeating the over and over again will stop you from harassing them for the money they shouldn't have taken. I do have the pictures and emails sent to them as evidence of my timeliness. I know it's a small amount but if they are doing this to alot of people, it's a large sum they are cheated people out off and a loophole that might need to be addressed.

They then followed up the original email with an interview time and ask for your licensing number (required before the first interview) and say if you don't have one to visit one of their partnered websites to get one. This is where they get you, the websites do not offer actual certifications. The reason i didn't fall for this is knowing any real business will pay for your license. I myself do not have a license and they know this based on my indeed profile. On the surface the websites seem quite legit but I could tell something was off. They make it seem as if the job is yours to have before the first "interview", that will probably never come, to try and coask people into paying for these fake courses.

Kept offering refunds at first 30% and last offer 60%, I rejected all. The offers came “ customer support team.”’ I think the whole thing is a scam or perhaps fraud.

Rental - Facebook Rental Scam

Was contacted by this person representing owner of property near where I live that was available to rent. I had been on Facebook and searching internet looking up rentals in my area. I received a FB message saying she was the owner of property near where I lived and wanted to rent it as a long-term rental. Said she has it listed for sale but decided to rent instead. Sent rental agreement and application which was completed by me and returned. She then asked for the security deposit which amounted to $1000 and when received she would meet me at the property with the keys and lease. She kept stalling about meeting with me so I could inspect interior. She gave me the address so I could check the outside only. Got suspicious and went to town Clerk to see if she was listed as the owner of the property. She was not and actually was not a property owner in my town at all. Sche scammed me out of $1000. and still keeps messaging me. Reported her to the Sate Police, FBI and Federal Tade Commission.

Debt Collections - Nationwide State Processing

They called myself and my husband regarding a defaulted loan with credit fresh. They attempted to threaten and intimidate me by saying they would show up at my house, take pictures of my car my social security number and anything of value. They harassed my husband at work, and scared both of us to death. My husband has hypertension, and he got very worked up. This is not good for him or his blood pressure. What they're doing is illegal.
