Online Purchase

The company Tokyo Karts advertises real life Mario Kart themed go kart events in cities across the US. You purchase tickets for an event that's 6 months away and a week before they'll reschedule for another 6 months out "due to permit issues with the city", and so on... The event never happens and then you're past your bank's window to dispute the charge.

Counterfeit Product

LIAN footwear advertises on TikTok that they sell orthopedic shoes and are true to size. They also offer refunds if needed. When my order arrived, the shoes were wrapped in plastic, no labels, no shoebox and no means of being able to return them. No invoice either. They also said that they would be delivered by UPS and instead were delivered by Swift F. the order confirmation that was emailed to me listed the shoes at 59.99 and a VIP Member x 1 listed as FREE. Which, I never asked for a membership - for what? I just bought shoes, nothing else. 2 weeks later I am being charged $39.99 for a VIP Membership that I never authorized. There is no way of contacting them to get this corrected.

I ordered a skincare product from this company and when it arrived, I realized that it was a fake product made in China not Korea. I contacted the company by email to ask for a refund. They responded quickly, offering me nine dollars to keep the product which I declined and then they offered me $20 to keep the product which I also declined explaining that I wanted a full refund. They then said I had to return it at my cost and they would refund my money. They gave me an address, but when I went to the post office to return the product, I was told the address was not valid. I contacted them again to get the correct address and I never heard from them again.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Island Family Christian Church imposter

Received call from person inquiring on UV printed signage for church in HI. Phone ID showed a 650 area code. I asked about that and was told he used to live in San Francisco Bay area but is now with the church in HI. The church seems to be real. Called but nobody picked up , I did not leave a message. Something felt off but I went ahead and quoted the request with very specific EXCLUSIONS to which he did not address on his response. As soon as I saw he was pushing a specific shipper, whose name kept changing within the email, I knew it was a scam and went online to BBB to report. Email thread attached. I have stopped communication with requestor/scammer.

This morning, I received an email from PayPal, claiming that 'FTC Prime Subscription Settlement Fund has sent you $51.00 USD. "You are receiving this amount because you are eligible to receive a settlement payment under a settlement reached by the President Trump's FTC with Amazon.com Inc., regarding Prime subscription practices, in the case of Federal Trade Commission V. Amazon.com Inc., 23-cv-0932-JHC. If you're already enrolled in PayPal prior to receiving this message, no further action is needed - your payment has already been processed and is in your account. If you haven't already enrolled, please click the 'Claim Your Money' button to accept your settlement Benefit. If you have any questions regarding your Settlement Benefit, please visit the Settlement website at SubscriptionMembershipSettlement.com." "When contacting the settlement Administrator, please refer to your Claim ID: AZF-235005413401" Transaction Details Transaction date August 19, 2026 Money received $51.00 USD Get your money just a few easy steps. Claim it by September 18, 2026 or it will be returned to the sender. And then there is a "Claim Your Money" button to click, which I didn't click. Right under the button, "If you have any questions about this payment, you can send an email to [email protected]." I have already received similar emails from the same sender, and I have ignored them. I do not have an "Amazon Account" myself, so I sensed this has to be a scam. In 2024, fake PayPal emailed me that I owed $400. some dollars to PayPal and there was a PayPal contact phone number. I called the number and the person said that "Your personal information has been misused, I will connect you to the 'secured server of FTC' which was the scammer. I lost a large some of my money.

They call repeatedly from 1-540-385-0941, leaving a voicemail to call them back at 775-438-1723. I called them and told them to stop calling my number and remove it from the database, that I owe zero taxes then she proceeded to ask me if I had received a letter saying that I owed taxes , with a heavy accent. I told her I owed zero money to remove my number again -and she hung up on me. I couldn’t get anyone to answer on the 530 number. Total scammers trying to act like they are a tax service, to help people that owe money to the American IRS. I hope they all get arrested. I’d report it to the FBI if I knew how but I’m sure they’ve got bigger fish to fry. Block them or hide your number and spam call them back, if you know how to do that. Tired of daily voicemails from scammers . They generally don’t answer when you try to call them back.
