You seem to be trying to get me to click a link in saying that like it's an order that I made or a shipment that's coming in or I need to register my income or something like that. It's from either Sabrina or Robert cuz the same email comes in from a robber as well but either way they are insufferable. They send out an email like once a day. I have forwarded to the police. I forward to two local pages just to warn people about it. I've even threatened them and tried to scam them back. You know just to see if it was a robot or something like that but they seem to only automated type things with the links and what not about a shipment or me to update some sort of account. And ultimately they're just implying that I need to click the link. And of course I'm not going to click it. I'm not stupid but and their email is call me Sabrina at call me Sabrina. Are you serious? I'll call you f****** dumb cuz they are all scampers are done but ultimately I just wanted to post it up.

Online Purchase - Puppy Scam

My 74 yr. old sister thought she was purchasing a 12 wk. old labrador retriever from Everhome Labradors. She only communicated with the breeder via Facebook Messenger, and was never given a physical address or direct phone number to reach the breeder, Terrie Griffin. She paid $700. to a third party (whom she was told was the breeder's accountant) via Zelle to [email protected]. (They would not accept a credit card, & suggeted she use gift cards--a huge red flag.) Again, she had no name, address, or phone number for the "accountant." After the "sale," she was told to pay an additional $500. for a crate in which to transport the puppy, which she did, again via Zelle. On the day the puppy was to arrive, she was asked for another $750. for "insurance"--at which time I suggested she contact her banker @ USAA, who confirmed that it sounded like a scam.

Online Purchase

I made a purchase from Willows Boutique after seeing an ad on Facebook. The site seemed legitimate with images, descriptions, indication that items came from California. I saw no red flags until I made the purchase and received my items. Items were shipped and I received confirmation of shipping with a tracking number. The tracking could only be done through their site and was not a UPS/DHL/USPS/FedEx or other shipper. I received the items within a week (also, reasonable shipping timeframe). Items however were cheaply made, poor quality, see-through material - awful! I attempted to make a return of the items to which I sent photos of the items to their [email protected] email. They responded within a day indicating the address the items should be shipped to - China and that I would receive my refund in 3-5 business days once the items were received. Well, 6 months later after multiple email exchanges with the company and USPS unable to deliver the items, the website and email no longer exist. I never received my money and the items I returned are somewhere in USPS tracking land with an "Alert" status indicating "Arrived at Mail Recovery Center". My credit card company won't dispute the charge because nowhere in my communication with the company do they confirm/use language indicating the amount to be refunded or the card number they would issue the refund to. I went on Reddit to learn of others similar/same experiences - too late unfortunately.

Advance Fee Loan - Advance Fee Loan

I signed up for a capital one credit card, there was some clause about information sharing that i had no authority over and it mentioned a 2 month period. The second that 2 months was up i started getting the same spam calls, always with a spoofed new york number. I have blocked over 170 numbers. They call quite literally every day of the week at least once or twice, sometimes max 12. But they float with a average between3-7 times a day. Always around lunch, after work, even after 8 pm which is a FTC crime for unsolicited robocalls. Check the official ridgeway financial website and you will see they have a issue with this as well. They do not send robocalls. The call is a recording of a white woman's voice talking about a advance free 50,000$ loan with no interest or something like that. Pure junk. This has been messing with my work and personal life for at least 5 months, every single day. They did take a week long break in september but just went back to it.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The merchandise advertised is a plush 3 dimensional Highland Cow figure tree skirt that attach's to the bottom of the tree. What we received was a round 2 dimensional piece of cloth with 5 cow picture's. The day we received the product, I went directly to their website and there was no phone number. You could only contact them through either a support ticket (which I did) or to email them (which I did). I emailed them immediately because we wanted to return the product for a full refund since it was not what was advertised. We had no response for the company until 5 days later. Which pushed us to 2 days per their website of their 7 day return policy. On day 5 the response that I received from the company was that there could be a 20% variation in what was ordered, and for our inconvenience they would give us a discount on our next order. On their website it states you have 7 days to return it, but on day 5 it was not even an option. After taking a closer look at the pictures advertised, they appear to be AI generated, in my opinion they do not even exist. We posted 4 , one star reviews on their website, yet it still shows over 12,000 5 star reviews with nothing less then 4 . We even went to our bank to have the charges reversed, but since the product was not returned (which we have no way of returning it, since we were not given that option) there was nothimg our bank could do. It's worth mentioning that their address tachyonext Inc. Sounds eerily similar to "attack you next". I do this in hopes of preventing anyone else from being scammed as we were.

Other - Fence Install Scam

BUYER BEWARE - MCFARLIN FENCING installed a fence for us in September. Paid an extra $1,000 for shadowbox design. My husband gave Jacob the check without looking at the work. Very expensive mistake. Jacob is definitely NOT responsive to calls and texts after the job (unlike before the job). I found him at a neighbor's house and took him around showing him at least 9 problems. His only response that day, and days since, was "I don't know how to fix it." Appears very young and inexperienced (with shadowbox in particular), very unprofessional, obviously not concerned with the importance of his business reputation. (When I contacted a local more reputable fence company and told them the story, the guy responded with "Was it McFarlin?" He said they have had numerous calls.) Take a look at the photos - shoddy work, damaged pickets. Jacob obviously had no idea what he was doing, but instead of owning up to it he took the check and ran. BUYER BEWARE Update: I also later found a post from an older couple with a similar experience with McFarlin: I noticed Mr McFarlin has a 5 rating on his Facebook page. Not so much from here. We hired him to replace our wooden fence. During the process, a rain storm came up and the crew continued to work in the rain making deep ruts in the work area. When we asked him if he was coming back after it dried up to fix that area, the response was, we are fence builders not landscapers. Then he left concrete footers and bricks in the neighbor’s yard. Mr McFarlin does not have a voice mail set up to leave a message. He has been notified by text about the concrete being left in the neighbor’s yard. We have been unable to speak with him or get a response from the text message. My husband and I have major health issues and unable to pick up the concrete. I would rate this job a 2. Mr McFarlin is not willing to make things right. Be satisfied before he leaves because you will never see him again. THAT CUSTOMER HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH HIS SUMMATION - be satisfied before he leaves because you will never see him again! NOTE: It is only allowing me to upload one photo, but there are plenty more!

No where close to Nevada, no chance it will arrive the next day. I emailed them the screen shot and asked for a refund. I checked the tracking number again the next day, it shows the product was sent back to them. Checked it again this morning and now the number does not exist.

Phishing - Uber Impostor

I'm an Uber Eats driver. I got a call from someone claiming to be with Uber trying to resolve a claim against me for the week prior for missing items from a delivery. Since the claim existed I didn't think anything was wrong. I am assuming the scammer is the one that made the claim in the first place since they had knowledge about it. They had me cancel the order I was on, which they knew what it was so I am assuming that it was also an order they placed. At this point they switched phones or something and called me on a different number (1 (415) 463-7199). They told me that they were going to pay me for the missed time I was going to have with them of about half an hour. They then asked me to verify it was me by telling them the amount of trips I did the last two weeks, what my points earned were, and the amounts I made over the last two weeks. Then they went in to how to get paid for the time it was going to take by adding a debit card to my account, explaining that it was going to replace my current card so they could add the payment they were going to give me back into my account. Then to verify it was me that was working I would have to send the amount of money i had made over the last two weeks to the card then they would add the payment back to it and I would get the new card in the mail. I got a little suspicious at this point and sent my earnings to another account I use to pay bills, so they didn't get everything. When I explained I had already sent my earnings elsewhere they had me use the $150.00 back up balance that is an Uber program which is basically like a small loan you pay back right away, then send that to them. I still wasn't sure at this point but didn't want to lose my ability to drive for Uber so went along and sent the $150.00. They said they would call me back the next day after I made more money to be able to send the amounts to prove it was me driving and then hung up. The I did what I should have done from the beginning and asked Uber's help line if this was a legitimate call from them and that's when they told me it was probably a phishing scam.

The advertisement uses misleading language to make it sound like they are selling an advent calender of drinkable whiskies, such as "a new taste adventure every day," "elevate your nights with bold new flavors", " drinkable bottles double as ornaments", "bottles are shatterproof", " more than just drinks, it is a journey of flavor." They are selling many different kinds- whiskies, beer, soda. The package took just over a month to arrive. I received a package 7"x 10"x 1" . It is filled with tiny, little plastic pictures of whiskey bottles. It was in a box from China. The name on the package is Glicheal Lichael. The number and address are false.

In April of this year 2025, my dog got into the trash, I went to an online vet, I paid for the single session to get answers if an emergency vet was necessary or if I was being scared. I paid for a SINGLE session. I did not agree to a monthly or reoccurring charge. I have had $33 taken out of my account every month with NO KNOWLEGDE and NO RECEIPTS ANYWHERE. I called and without hesitation they gave me a refund on the last charge. They will only refund the last 90 days. I have checked my email and other records and the ONLY place it comes up is the receipt from the night of my dog getting into the trash. I have NO OTHER EMAILS. NO receipts or notice of them taking money out. NO notice via email that they would be, no notice that they did, no receipt. There are not even routine emails that one would rightfully assume they would be receiving for being charged $33 a month. I could tell be the attitude of the individual on the call that they get these calls regularly. She was rude, cut me off mid sentence because she didn't feel like hearing what I had to say and I had to threaten legal action. One does not simply STEAL money from peoples accounts in this disgusting "I hope they don't notice we are taking money out of peoples accounts" and all thing capitalism in this country is gross enough to find some kind of legal loophole or card trick for this crap to continue knowing EXACTLY what it is and it needs to stop.

I bought a 2015 jeep Cherokee they said $6,000 but when I went to pick up they charged me $7,000 an extra $1,000. They said the truck was in great shape. However, with in the first 45 days the alternator went and serpentine belt-snapped. They refused to refund me the cost to fix because my mechanic fixed it and not theirs. I was stranded with my children on the side of the road and without a vehicle for 3 days. Missing work and losing money. Then the heat, horn and seats stopped working. I was directed to bring to “there” mechanic on jay street so I did and went another 2 days without my vehicle. Missing additional work and income. Nothing was fixed. I was then told by the mechanic that my truck needs a control arm, struts, and a heat module. The grisbys said the control arm and struts are not covered, however to contact their mechanic and have them order a heat module. For two weeks straight I’ve been attempting to reach out to them and their mechanic and have been completely ignored. I told them this needs to be fixed and the grisbys said that their mechanic is ignoring them too. Now they said I have to bring it to another mechanic where I have to now leave my vehicle once again. Missing additional work, income and transportation. Then I was told I cannot wait or be there while they look over my vehicle because it might now be looked at today and they are busy. Grisbys are rude and not helpful at all. They sold me a junk car and over priced it. I plan on going to small claims court too.

Selected a puppy from rrottweiler world website and sent text message to dog breeder/seller (James Freeman @ 1.804.650.4145). The breeder and I communicated via text message and agreed upon a price of $700.oo for the puppy with an additional fee of $150.00 to cover shipping and crate for a total of $850.00. The breeder sent sales contract, and I paid $850.00 as requested by the seller; the money sent via bank wire to Name: Francisco Loza, Routing Number: 101019644, Account Number: 21554743897, Bank Name: Lead Bank, Bank Address: 1801 Main St., Kansas City, MO 64108. The next day I received a text message and email from Secure Pet Transportation @ 557.203.7594 requiring an additional $1,000.00 to transport/ship the dog, requiring cash payment. I was given instructions and sent $500.00 via Zelle to Torionne Fambro @ 470.799.3641. I was then given instructions from Pet Secure Transport and sent $500 via Apple Cash to 773.394.1080. Once that payment was received Secure Pet Transport then required me to send an additional $500.00 via Apple Cash to 1.872.361.8972. That payment would not transmit, i.e., the account could not accept Apple Cash and I was instructed to send the $500.00 payment via a Walmart Card to 1.872.367.8972. I was next contacted via phone call and text from person saying their name was James Morgan (Hollywood, FL @ 754.837.5408 / [email protected]) saying I was required to send $500.00 more in Apple Cash/Pay to get the dog transported. I requested a refund of money sent in accordance with the sales contract. No money has been returned and there isn’t a dog.

I ordered a live amphibian from a company (also a scam). They used this company to overnight my purchase to me. The next day I got an email saying the animal was at the airport being held until I paid $100 for 1) AWB(Airway Bill) which is a normal requirement for live animals via air cargo shipments. It will cost $50 2) Health Certification and microchip or tag information, which will cost another $50. It seemed odd but I paid it. Then they said the insurance was another $75. I reached out to the seller about what was going on. They assured me it was normal. I paid. They said the animal would be delivered within 2 hours. Never got my animal or heard from the shipping company or seller since.

Central Dispatch is a loadboard used by auto carriers to be able to find loads for their transporting units and works in a way in which a BROKER puts the load information on their platforms and drivers can access and find the loads, view the carriers information and negotiate with them prices,dates and vital information to be able to comply with the broker's requisites. On or about 26 days ago my account was deactivated due to a "Violation of policy" and has not been reactivated. We have tried to contact Central Dispatch but they operate in a way in which you cant ask too many questions, you cant claim any wrongdoing towards your company or try to make them hear your grievance because they will yell at you, interrupt you, condescend you or even worse HANG UP. I have notified them of our intention to have our account reactivated and they have been telling us that is under review (x10 times a day) and that a supervisor needs to verify my account. (26 days later a supervisor has not reviewed our account). Unfortunately Central Dispatch has entangled in the industry so deep that other brokers won't give you work if you don't have a Central DIspatch account, because at this point we don't want to do business with a Company that doen't treat business owners with the respect a UNITED STATES CITIZEN who OWNS a business in the US should be treated. We have requested them to let us know what are they going to do and if they are not going to reactivate our account, then to let us know because we have AUTO-PAY with this company that deducts $139.00 every month and since we have requested for us to get a credit and they have denied it, I don't want to have $139.00 stolen from our account because at this point this sounds like a FRAUDULENT SCHEME. Example, they deactivate 1000 accounds under the same pretext and take $139.00 out of each, is easily a theft of $139,000.00, this might sound like a conspiracy theory but to me it sounds like a more serious FRAUD SCHEME. we want 3 things, to according to US due process to be notified as to what was the reason our account has been deactivated, a credit of any days in which they did not provided service and or return any money taken from any customers. (This is a serious issue and depending on the number of accounts deactivated, is the amount of money this FRAUD SCHEME has taken from customers is how big of a CRIME is being commited.

Tried to return, but was given the run around and asked multiple times to send photos, which I did. Finally got the "OK" to return, but they sent courier service information from the Netherlands (I am located in TX). Finally got information, but it had to be sent to China and received within a few days in order to make their 30-day return policy. Which would have cost hundreds of dollars to return.

To the Better Business Bureau, I am filing a complaint regarding persistent, unwanted, and potentially fraudulent phone calls I have been receiving from this company that won’t provide their name. . Despite repeatedly telling them to stop contacting me, the calls continue—sometimes multiple times per day. The callers refuse to provide clear information about their business or why they are calling. Their representatives use high-pressure tactics, vague claims, and inconsistent stories that strongly suggest this may be a scam operation. They also continue calling from multiple phone numbers, making it difficult to block them. I have asked to be removed from their call list several times, yet the harassment continues. This has become disruptive, intrusive, and concerning. I am requesting that the BBB investigate this company and require them to cease all communication with me immediately. I also ask that the BBB look into their business practices, as their behavior appears misleading and predatory. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

My story is being told here in a calm and measured way, but in reality, I’m extremely angry. I feel I was scammed, and at this point, there’s very little I can do about it. I ordered their MagicPro 2.0 gadget, which claimed it could reduce dizziness, calm anxiety, improve sleep, relieve brain fog—you name it. Who wouldn’t want results like that? They also advertised a 90-day money-back guarantee, which made the purchase even more appealing. After using the device, I experienced none of the relief they promised. I reached out to their Support team to start a return, and it’s now been over 1 1/2 mos with no progress. The runaround and excuses I’ve received are ridiculous and honestly laughable. Here is one example: "All return requests are carefully evaluated to ensure compliance with our policies and to maintain the high standards of service we are committed to providing.” Here is another example: "All we kindly ask in return is a short 20–30 second video review. This should be a positive review focusing on what you liked most about the device, whether it’s about the features or how it helped you in daily use." I politely declined their request, as I wasn’t willing to lie about the device’s effectiveness. There’s a reason the saying goes, “If it sounds too good to be true, it usually is.” I’ve also contacted my credit card company to help me recover my money, and I’m still waiting for their response. I’d stay away from loud advertisements promising cures that don’t actually exist.
