Phishing - TEMU Order not received

I used Temu for the first time on November 18th 2025. Ordering from its website from a supplier named Colllla. The item ordered was a sexual wellness device that was supposed to be 50 inches, and 41.9 pounds. Two days later the item was picked up by FedEx. FedEx reported that the packages total weight was only 28 pounds. I had then reached out to the supplier saying there must have been a mix up the item was under weight making it the incorrect item ordered. The supplier didnt reply to me. During the shipping period another person on the website left a 1 star review for the same item that he received was incorrect and under weight. The supplier has a no return/refund policy for any opened packages. Mine is still unopened in its orginal shipping box. They are arguing that the item is correct and does not have any flaws and met quality inspection upon leaving warehouse. But my argument is that it is the incorrect item since it does not weigh the 41.9 pounds that was ordered. Im still waiting for a resolution to this incident and wanted to report them so it doesnt continue to happen to others.

Seller's website offers product with big discounts for larger purposes. The return/refund policy says it can be returned within 30 days. I purchased product, which arrived but does not dispense. I attempted a return that the seller has refused to process, and the seller then processed another payment; they subscribed me without consent. I never received the second shipment, and the 'tracking number' link took me to a site that appeared to be Chinese without tracking information but with a sales popup and then a porn popup.

Online Purchase - SoSo snatched fitness

I was told I would be signing up to be a product ambassador for the SoSo snatched fitness company. This was on September 29th 2025. Through Facebook messenger I contacted the owner off her Facebook business page. I sent my money through cash app and proceeded to wait. Weeks went by where there was no contact and she finally reached out and said she was sick and that she would get to me soon. I still have not heard anything back. I have attempted to request my refund through cash app, and through her website with no luck. The lady is active every day on Facebook and continues to post messages and ignore the people that are posting on her feed asking for their money back.

Home Improvement

There was a contract made with Mark Pentecost about repairing the siding on my garage where it was struck by a driver without insurance coverage. On 4/4/25, I gave him a check for $200.00 to purchase the needed material. For several months he communicated to me that the siding was wrong/had not come/arrived, and he was busy with other work. He cashed the check the same day I wrote it. I have telephoned him throughout the past 8 months and his voicemail was not set up, texted him multiple times with little to no response. This exploitation extends to my daughter who gave you $1,000 cash to repair a place on her roof an damage to some siding. I am reporting this to hopefully prevent this from happening to others.

Online Purchase

I was watching a video of the new bag sealer and cutter on instagram and thought it would make nice stocking stuffers for my adult children. So I decided to see how much they were, and it was during the Black Friday sales. I decided to take a chance it was cheap enough to risk. The grand total end price was $25.88 (not too bad for 5 items if the product was cheap or didn’t work) and when I used my card it charged an extra $8 dollars and some change (not for shipping, not for taxes that was already included in the $25.88) when the transaction went through and was completed, I said oh no!! So, I immediately emailed the customer service support email and asked them to cancel the order and do not ship! They emailed back next day and asked me why I wanted to stop order. I explained to them it was more than I wanted to spend, and then they emailed back and said sorry it’s already been shipped. I’m like I literally just ordered it!!! Going to chalk this up to lesson learned! I usually research my products and companies too….i don’t know why I didn’t do it this time! Laziness kicked in! Shame on me!

They call offering a loan and to speak to someone press 2, to be put on the do not call list press 9...this never happens, they keep calling. If you press 2 they hang up. They have been calling me for well over 6 months and often leave a message without actually calling, not sure how they do this. This has been multiple times a day. Don't bother trying to get on the no call list, they then start calling twice as much. Not sure how to make it stop, or why they keep calling. They call at least once per day, sometimes more than 5 times a day. I am wondering if there is another more sinister reason for the calls, one that no one has picked up on yet.

They have not responded to multiple messages sent via their website chat and email. There is no alternative contact information available. This behavior strongly indicates that the business is either no longer operating, is engaging in fraudulent practices, or is knowingly accepting payments for products they cannot deliver. I am requesting: Immediate cancellation and full refund. Written confirmation that my refund has been processed. Investigation into this company’s business practices, as they appear to be taking money from customers without fulfilling orders. If I do not receive a response within 1 business days, I will proceed with: Filing a chargeback/dispute with my bank for nondelivery of goods. Submitting a complaint to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Filing a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Notifying my state’s Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. I expect a prompt resolution to this matter.

Employment - Employment Task - Commissions Scam

English Translation I always thought I was cautious enough— until the day I received a call from a company named COHIRES Human Resources. It was an ordinary afternoon. I had just sent out a few resumes when the phone rang. A woman with a calm, professional voice told me that my profile had been “selected by their system” and matched a position they were handling for a multinational corporation. My heart sped up. That long-lost feeling of hope suddenly surged back into my chest. She spoke convincingly, telling me I had the potential to enter their “international candidate pool,” and that all I needed was to complete a $5,000 professional evaluation and certification. I hesitated, but everything they provided looked real— the website, the contract, the consultant team photos, the partner company logos, the mock interview schedule… I even found a few “positive reviews” online, as if they existed solely to reassure someone like me. In the end, I paid. 1. The Beginning—Everything Looked Real As soon as the money was transferred, they immediately sent me several “assessment documents” along with a mock interview. The consultant’s feedback was so detailed it felt like advice from a genuine career expert: which responses demonstrated leadership which answers sounded too neutral which English expressions lacked professionalism I completely believed them. There were even three “international corporate” video interviews, but the interviewers never turned on their cameras, claiming it was part of an “internal confidentiality process.” At the time, I didn’t think much of it. 2. The Turning Point: The $20,000 ‘Position Lock Fee’ Then one day, I received an offer letter from someone named Evan, who introduced himself as an “International Recruitment Director.” He said a major global tech company intended to hire me and that I was just one step away from final confirmation. However, because there was another candidate in the last round, they recommended I pay a $20,000 ‘position lock fee.’ He claimed the money would be fully refunded two months after I started the job. The offer letter was eight pages long, each page featuring the company’s header, seals, and signatures—it looked flawless. But I suddenly noticed: the email address wasn’t a corporate domain the contract terms were vague and circular they always refused to let me speak with the “actual employer” directly I couldn’t calm down. A sense of dread began tapping at my chest. 3. The Truth Reveals Itself: I Had Been Targeted That night, I decided to do a full check. I looked up the domain registration of their website—nothing. I reverse-searched the consultant’s profile photos—every one of them was stolen from various websites. The “mock interview coach’s” video came from a paid online course platform. At that moment, it felt like a block of ice had been shoved into my stomach. I realized: The $5,000 was already gone. And their next target was the $20,000. 4. My Counterattack I didn’t confront them immediately. Instead, I saved every email, contract, recording, and screenshot, then: contacted my bank to file a fraud claim submitted all evidence to the cybercrime department posted anonymous warnings on job platforms searched social media for similar cases What I found made me furious and heartbroken— I wasn’t the first. And I wouldn’t be the last. Those “international video interviews,” those “professional assessment reports,” those “consultant photos”… were all templates, reused over and over with different names and logos to trick new victims. 5. The Final Realization COHIRES contacted me one last time with a simple reminder: “You have 48 hours to complete the $20,000 payment, or the position will be revoked.” I stared at the email. For the first time, I felt no anger—only clarity. This was a carefully engineered scam, and I was merely one of the “potential targets” they had selected. I finally replied: “I have submitted all evidence to the police. Your game is over.” After that, I blocked every one of their contacts. 6. Conclusion I’m still trying to recover the $5,000, but what worries me more is this— Somewhere out there, on a night as anxious as mine once was, someone else may pick up an identical phone call, hear the same promises, and fall into the same trap. All I can do now is write down everything that happened, hoping my experience becomes a small light that helps others sidestep the same pitfall.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - MATRIARCH - HOUSE OF GOLD

I am contacting you to formally report a fraud committed by a supposed mentor named Kateryna Zhelyeznova, creator of the program “House of Gold” which she promotes on social media and charges through Stripe. * ** ********* *** *** ********* ********** ************ ************** ******* ********* **** **** *** ****** ******** *** ********** **** ******** Below is a clear chronological summary of the situation: At the end of August, I paid the full amount upfront for the “House of Gold” program, trusting her promises. This program included, according to her own sales materials, 90-minute 1:1 sessions, personalized coaching, close support, and a small intimate group for creative and entrepreneurial women. She never provided a proper contract on time. I received it one month later due to her disorganization, lack of structure, and total lack of professionalism. After paying, I had to wait more than 3 months just to receive a link for a single session because she was traveling, running retreats, and disappearing. Her team made constant mistakes, often disappeared for days, and she replied whenever she wanted. When I finally accessed the program, I found that the container had more than 60 people, which is completely different from what was promised. She could not handle the group, and the service was nothing like what she sold. I complained multiple times **** ********** ** *** ******** ************. Her communication was unprofessional, disrespectful, and her team continued to make repeated errors. Finally, after insisting and threatening to file claims, she processed a refund through Stripe. However: She kept two months of payments without justification, without my authorization. I requested cancellation within the timeframe clearly shown in the attached materials. She is manipulating information and acting unilaterally. This person is scamming entrepreneurial women, selling services she does not deliver, manipulating refund policies, and taking advantage financially. Her brand is called “Matriarca,” yet her behavior is abusive and completely contradictory to what she preaches. I have all the evidence.

I'm convinced this is a Chinese dropshipping scheme that lures customers with false promises, uses generic images, and fails to deliver, forcing bank disputes. Avoid this company at all costs!

Reached out by email to someone at a company online about Russian Blue kittens for adoption. They responded with this email: I appreciate you reaching out to us. We regret to inform you that every kitten we currently have is reserved. I can put you in touch with the breeder who provided us with our parent cats if you're serious about getting a kitten. When you see his babies, you will most likely smile. He's a fantastic breeder and ships to almost all states. You can reach him at ****@gmail.com His name is **** I've attached the pictures he sent of the available kittens. When you reach him, tell him ****'s wife, ****, from ****, NC, directed you. He said the adoption fee is now $550. Let him know you want a kitten in your home as a pet, not for breeding. Best of luck, **** Then I received this response from the “breeder” after reaching out to them: Hi **** Thank you for getting in touch with us. Establishing a location where Russian Blue cat lovers can easily and safely adopt healthy kittens is our goal. The majority of people who have cat allergies do not react to Russian Blue cats because they are low on the allergy scale. We currently have three kittens up for adoption. A boy and two girls. Please review the attached photos and let me know which of the kittens catches your attention. Each kitten costs $550 to rehome, and two kittens cost $1050. Shipping will cost $200, meaning all you will be spending to get a kitten to your closest airport is $750. Home delivery will cost an extra $50. Let me know if you want home delivery. First and foremost, I want you to know why I am giving out the kittens and why their need for homes is so urgent. Our primary motivation for breeding these cats is not financial gain but rather our passion for the breed. We are offering a special price reduction since we need to find the kittens new, loving homes where they can receive the proper care because we are expecting our first kid in two weeks. We are located in **** ND. If you are unable to visit us for the kittens, we can make arrangements for delivery; depending on where you reside, we can ship the same day or the following day. Here are some questions we would like you to answer honestly. -Have you ever owned a cat? -Is there a veterinarian in your area? -When do you intend to bring the kitten home? Sincerely, **** We signed a contract, included our names and address. They said they’d give us an Apply Pay account, but gave us phone numbers for Apple Cash. When we looked for the company online we found a similar scam using an almost verbatim email template.

Online Purchase - Brandon Wall / 2 Day Express Logistics

Our furniture store was sent an inquiry by a Brandon Wall through our websites "contact us" form. He requested details and availability on in stock goods as they needed a table ASAP. Worked to provide him details and asked if he had a freight forwarder that he liked to use as he was located in Hawaii and we don't typically handle shipments to Hawaii being a store in Seattle, WA. Rare, but this isn't unheard of, so I wasn't initially suspicious. He quickly provided a company (2 Day Express) and requested that we work with them to get a shipment scheduled ASAP. He then called to pay for the furniture and the cards went through without issue (I even processed them through immediately to be sure and didn't wait until the end of the day) but he was insistent that I lock in the freight quote and get that taken care of ASAP. Started to feel a little bit off about this and researched both Brandon Wall and the freight forwarder he suggested 2 Day Express. I found it odd that a freight company was located in a office tower and not a warehouse, the website had been flagged as suspicious and finally I ran across a previous scam by Brandon Wall on the BBB website. Same exact set up, only I didn't get to the point of giving the freight company any money. Issued refunds and sent Brandon receipts saying I could no longer fulfill his order as the item wasn't in fact in stock. And he quickly followed up wanting to check the status of additional items. Did not respond further.

I contracted this vendor for wedding videography and paid a deposit on May 13, 2025 through Venmo. Since booking, he has pressured me multiple times to pay the remaining balance months before it was due, despite previously stating he understood my financial timeline. His behavior raised concerns, so I researched his company and found several public complaints describing similar patterns: pressure for early payment, cancellations on the wedding day, poor-quality work, and customers reporting that he kept their money even in situations where he was the one who canceled due to issues on his end. Out of concern for reliability, I canceled services and requested a refund. The vendor refuses to return the deposit, despite consumer laws allowing refunds when there is anticipatory breach or reasonable concern a vendor will not perform. This is a pattern affecting multiple brides, and I am filing this complaint for assistance and to warn future consumers
