Online Purchase - Purse Five

I found out about this site from an influencer online, I sent the money and then was completely ghosted by the owner, no update on shipping, she reads my messages and won't respond, and it's been over 2 weeks now. I understand it's not a lot of money but I have a feeling she does this to a lot of people.

Phishing - credit card company scam

Scammer named "Wilson" called to ask who was responsible for our credit card machine. He wanted to get a copy of our May Merchant Services bill to identify extra charges that we should not have received and that would need to be credited back. (He said that the charges only applied to large corporations like Walmart). When I pushed back saying that he should already have that information, he said it's "just part of the process." He gave his FAX # 888-385-1433 and when I said I didn't have time, he told me to call him back at 469-253-0007 at Merchant Services. I did not therefore send or fax my recent Credit Card processing statement.

Employment - Click Titan

There’s this one suspicious company called click Titan and the owner is Brandon peers who also had another company name Double X Digital. We had communicated through text message and asked multiple questions such as who they are and how they work, what is their current status and how they are doing, and especially for reviews, but once I was asking for reviews the owner himself, Brandon, was declining my question and kept on saying that if I pay $92 for installing a marketing online campaign for my business and siad “I can refund you back if you do not want to continue our services.” He also kept on basically saying that “I will change your life if you pay $92”. He claims that he has over 1505 star reviews and I asked for one of those reviews. All I got was a video that obviously look fake by some two guys who own a company apparently and used his services but once searching the company, there was no information found. I believe that this is some kind of a scam that is going on around as advertising and whenever Morse personal questions are answered they do not want to answer. Closer to the conversation he was being very unprofessional and rude in the conversation. I can send screenshots of all the discussion through text message.

I submitted a ticket on their website and told them what I received was NOT what I ordered. They didn't respond so I replied several times to the email they sent me and today when I went to login to check the status of my ticket it says, "Your account has been suspended and the customer portal will not be accessible.
