This is a craft website where you order an introductory box of products for $34 to see if you like. It was dollar store items… I cancelled the subscription. They send an email they are getting my box ready. I sent another email saying I cancelled. Days later another email says the box was sent and they charge my credit card for $85 I sent numerous emails to them and then they say I have to pay for shipping or they will give you 20% off but they recommend the 20% off because it’s cheaper than international shipping. My bank couldn’t reverse the charge. I sent numerous emails to them and ask them for their address to return the box .. They stop responding to all emails. There was numerous emails sent requesting their address. I cannot locate it any where ! I sent a couple of more emails requesting the 20% off and they still won’t respond ! I have no idea where this company is located ! They refuse to provide any information ! I advised them they did not have authorization to charge my card several times but they did !

I ordered on November 2nd and they told me it shipped out November 9th… as the days went on USPS said the item never made it there to be shipped. I contacted the business and they offered to still send it but I declined being I needed it for a specific event on November 15. I paid for 2-day ground shipping so it should’ve made it to me between November 12-13. I was told they made a mistake confusing my order with someone else’s. They tried to tell me due to processing time I couldn’t request a refund but I disagreed because it was there error saying it shipped. Now they’re giving me the run around on a refund. Their website does not specifically state any of this. They have kicked back my refund twice so far.

I get at least 10 calls per day from “Ridgegate Financial.” I have used the option provided to be removed from their call list. They continue to call. The story is that they’re calling about a personal loan offer that I applied for. I have no applied for a loan. I have asked to be put through to agents multiple times and told them to stop calling. They still call. According to Ridgegate, this is a scam robo call.

Counterfeit Product - Endurox Prime

Purchased six bottles Neurocept based on social media advertisement for $312.38 to improve cognitive health based on claimed promotion by Dr. Sanjay Gupta (recognized expert in this field.) Received the six bottles by mail, but at that same time found that the endorsement by Gupta was AI generated and disclaimed by him in a separate UTube notification. Now know that the BBB has also reported this scam. We attempted to contact Endurox Prime by phone and email to return the six unopened bottles and get a refund, but they have not responded to our requests.

Found this online auto auction sponsored ad on FB marketplace, the link took me to their direct website. After some research, they looked like a legit company, no red flags stood out, no negative google searches, etc. I placed a bid on one of their repossessed autos on auction. I won the bid, I was contacted via phone and confirmed the winning bid price, vehicle info and my contact info. I received an emailed invoice with wire transfer info and was told once payment was made I would receive shipping info. I submitted the wire and sent them a confirmation letter. I received a Bill of Lading the next business day and was told there would be a 7-14 day waiting period for the lien-holder to release the title and provide me with a bill of sale. There were multiple emails exchanged explaining the details - no obvious red flags. A day before the car was scheduled to be delivered I attempted to contact the company and confirm the delivery details only to find out all of their phone numbers had been disconnected and no response from their email address I previously used. Their website was still active but no open auctions available. I googled their name again but now there was a full page of info stating it was a scam. I immediately did a deep research on the company name I sent the wire to and couldn’t find any available contact info. That company “United Repo Autos, Inc.” is using a registered agent as their physical and mailing addresses. This “registered agent” is a landmark for thousands of companies. I have been unable to find any phone numbers or email addresses for this company. The recipient’s bank has been contacted by my bank to see if funds can be revoked - no luck thus far.

I recently attempted to use justanswer.com for a windows question on Nov. 3, 2025. When signing up the website clearly states that you can try the services and if not happy, cancel with only a $5.00 fee rather than the 48.00 monthly fee. After an online chat with the tech, I had no resolution of my issue. I immediately canceled the "membership" on the same day, in fact with in 2 hours, only to have both the 5.00 and 48.00 charge appear on my credit card on Nov. 6th. I directly contacted their customer service on Nov. 17th and was told that I would not have any additional charges, but the 48.00 was non refundable, and after several emails back and forth, still have no resolution. This company needs to be held accountable for such an underhanded operation and blatantly trying to scam people. I am not someone usually vulnerable to such tactics. This company purposefully misleads consumers.

It was so far from my other quotes "over" $2,000 from other quotes I got. He said all the old timers retired and these are the new rates. I am more worried for other senior citizens... I just told him that I wasn't interested. He told me $2,800.00 with a 3 inch trigger. He suggested I use a charge card? Thought I should mention it since there are so many people out there trying to take advantage of senior citizens, especially these days. I'm filling out another ticket for a call from this morning.

Upon receipt I contacted Cartpanda who processed the payment. After being told that once I provided some information (copy of my receipt, tracking # for product return etc. I would get a refund in 7-14 days. I sent the product, still in the unopened shipping box it arrived in, back to the return mail address on the package..

I was told I would be getting a bonus check, but this check that they sent me, they had me print it out on my own and my bank flagged this as suspicious and/or scam-likely. The bank also informed me that my information has most likely been stolen, as I had to send pictures of my ID, filled out a W-4 (which included my SSN), and had CreditKarma put a freeze on my account. Cratecraft Shipping is a front, most likely using stolen credit cards to make purchases and have these purchases rerouted using "employees" to receive these goods and send them elsewhere. They even have a dashboard where it looks legitimate, but you are actively participating in this company's suspicious business practices, expecting to get paid, but never actually receiving any payment.

Confirmed on recorded callback, they are using autodialers and request callbacks at 833-588-3804 or 844-509-3316. Both agents I spoke to had Indian accents, gave fake names, and were quick to hang up each time I asked to be taken off the call list. THE INITIAL CALL IS A PRE-RECORDED MESSAGE USING AI. Voicemail transcription is usually: “It’s *today’s date* You might remember applying with us for a personal loan or line credit. I guess back then we couldn’t go forward. Rates have come down and underwriting has opened especially for people with fair or lower credit. I reviewed your file this morning. It's sitting just shy of approval for $68,000. If it still fits what you’re looking for give me a quick call back at 833 588 3801. I'll be available till seven.

Advance Fee Loan - Ridgegate Financial / impostor

I get over 10 calls a day stating I have applied for a loan. I can say for certain that I have not applied for a loan. I hit 9 to take me off the call list and then I get another call 5 minutes later this goes on until 8 at night. I block every number they call from and I still get calls. I talked to a person at the company and asked them to take me off the list he stated he added me to the DND but again I received another call about an hour later. I am so sick and tired of receiving these calls.

Investment - Youth Surge DIR ltd

This website promises daily pay accrual with monthly withdrawals as payment for marketing digital videos and promotions. Early on it will pay (1-2 withdrawals) but eventually the website will glitch and admins will say it’s an upgrade to their payment system and expected and withdrawals will resume in some arbitrary time frame. 48-96 hours etc. The withdrawals are then allowed to process and the day they are supposed to hit your account a message appears on the website that requires additional payment for verification. Depending on your initial investment it will be $50-1500. The website promises it’ll be given back to you within 96 hours and your withdrawal will process as normal. None of that is true. It is a scam and although it initially seems to be legitimate with some payments received early on it’s a race against the clock to even recoup the initial investment. Do not fall for it. Do not send any money even if people you know are receiving some of their investment it will not continue. I lost 3200 and was granted a single withdrawal. If things sound to good to be true. They are.

Tax Collection

Pretending to be a Tax Mediation company. Victim does not have any outstanding taxes. Transcript of the phone call: "Friday the 14th calling from the processing team for tax mediation assistance. I'm wrapping up my Friday follow ups and wanted to connect since your record still shows unresolved balance issues that could result in additional charges or potential collection actions if left open. The positive news is that because of the ongoing extension period, there are active relief programs available that can reduce delay or even remove certain amounts owed entirely. Each case is unique, but many individuals are qualifying right now for reduced payments or full settlement depending on their filing status and balance type. The review takes just a few minutes, and once verified we can go over what's still available before those options expire. Please call me back today at 877-547-1562 again that's 877-547-1562. I'm available now and can help finalize everything before the end of day today. If this message reached you in error or you no longer need assistance, just press two when you call back the number on your caller ID.”
