Phishing

I received a call from someone claiming to be Sgt. Keith Webb, badge #91-845. He informed me that I had missed a court summons for federal jury duty dated 11/10/25 and that Judge Sheryl Lipman had issued two citations--one for failure to appear (citation #821-CV-7142) and contempt of court (citation #822-FD-1112.) He said he was calling to try to stop this from becoming a bigger issue, and that I could present myself at 201 Poplar ("turn myself in", which might result in being held for 72-96 hours before I could see the judge) or I could pay a surety bond of $4,000 that would freeze these citations for 60 days and prevent them from becoming bench warrants for my arrest. He asked that I agree to a "maintain contact" order, which meant that I would stay on the phone while we went through these options. He stressed that if I was pulled over for any reason I would be arrested and taken into custody over these citations. At this point, I asked for a call-back number because I told him I would like to get my attorney on the phone with me, and he said if I hung up I would be breaking the "maintain contact" order that I had agreed to... I hung up. But I was shaken. This is clearly a scam. I talked with the Sheriff's office to verify and there is no employee there by that name.

I was sent a text message saying the company had received my resume and were interested in connecting through Microsoft teams. They sent me a link to open a chat with a man named Vasili Nolan. We chatted a bit and I was sent 6 interview questions. After answering he congratulated me on my professional accomplishments and informed me that I would need to return the next morning at 8:30 am. The next morning we chatted and I received an email with a formal welcome letter and a separate document asking for my driver's license and other basic information. I then informed Mr. Nolan that I had completed and returned the documents as instructed. He welcomed me to the company again stating that they would send me equipment via mail in 2-3 business days. Then he told me he would send me a check via email and I needed to print it out and deposit it into my bank. He asked for my phone number address and to take a drug test. I have attached screenshot of the process.

Online Purchase - Flowers by Eva

I placed an order online for flowers to be delivered. Since there is snow and cold weather in Illinois I wanted to get a timeframe of when the items will be delivered so that they were not left out in the cold. I called the florist to ask what time the items will be delivered after I paid for them and they assured me that they were already on the truck and were being delivered around 9 o’clock in the morning. At 6:00 PM I received an email to say that the items would not be delivered and could I pick another day for delivery. That’s when I went online and found out the hundreds of negative reviews and potential scammers from the website. I found the 24 seven number that was given to me on the email and talk to somebody Who told me that their delivery person was in a car accident and then I told them that I would go over and pick up the items myself because it was for a birthday and then they said well the person did not get into accident they ran out of flowers. I asked them if they had any plans and they said yes and I said well that’s good because my order was actually for a plant and not flowers and I would come over and pick one up. That’s when they said that they didn’t have any plans either and I said well do you have anything that I can pick up because I paid over $80 for something plus a $20 delivery fee and that’s when I found out that there is no such store in Oswego Illinois. And that the floral shop is based out of Florida.

Other - Parking Revenue Service

On November 29, 2025 I parked in a public parking lot with signage for Baptist health, as a patient of Baptist health. There were no meters, no signs that parking was not allowed, no signs that parking had any restrictions. I received a notice from Parking Revenue Services for a $92 ticket for that day saying that “I did not have a permit”. The lot does not require a permit and there was no signage indicating that it did. I disputed the fine and provided proof of being a patient of Baptist health. Their response was that my appeal was denied because I did not pay for the parking. They changed their initial reason for fining me from not having a permit to not paying. Clearly indicating some type of fraudulent business practice going on. Again, this lot was not metered and there was no payment being advertised or collected at the lot. Not via an QR code, a payment kiosk, or a person. Upon review of this company they are known for fraudulent parking fines in various big cities across the US and have been taken to court and lost, forced to pay settlement based on their fraud.

Phishing - Loan Scam

I have received robocalls from this company several times a day for almost two months. I finally called back and got an agent who gave me several different company names within the 5-minute phone call. She seemed confused as to where she worked. The two I can recall are Spruce River Lending and then what she said was the "marketing company", Pine Meadow Capital. She said that she would contact Pine Meadow Capital because she was "tired of getting calls from angry people". The Spruce River Lending website (spruceriverlending.com) looks like it was created by AI. The address associated (557 Grand Concourse, Bronx, NY 10451) is for a Chipotle. The website for Pine Meadow Capital (pinemeadowcapital.com) is an exact copy of the Spruce River Lending website. The address associated with Pine Meadow is for a Postal Dispatch Center in Minneapolis. This is clearly a scam.

I saw an ad on Facebook depicting huge mystery boxes of brand new items returned to Amazon that are for resale. I paid $205.00 for 4 boxes. When the boxes arrived they contained cheap low quality items that had a value of about $25.00. The advertisement claimed 30 day full money back return. I emailed them the day of the delivery asking for the return adress. He offered 15% back on the $200.00. I told him no. He is refusing to send me a return address. I paid thru PayPal.

Counterfeit Product - Kiro Brands

I was targeted by a YouTube ad for a precision jet lighter. This lighter specifically was advertised as not using butane. Supposedly it was some revolutionary lighter that you charged with a USB cord. The site that they had was very busy, which made it hard to be sure what you were getting. I felt it was very deceptive, and when I received the lighter, it turned out the ad was a blatant lie. It clearly takes butane and the lighter I received had clearly been used before and probably returned. They ended up tacking on a $14.99 charge for an extended warranty that I didn’t want. I lost confidence in the whole transaction right after I hit the submit button. I tried to cancel the order within 30 minutes of making it on a Sunday but received an AI message from the company saying that it was too late. It was in their fulfillment center and I would have to return it once I received it. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card and the company ended up refunding my money. We will see how long that lasts. They wanted me to pay money to ship this piece of junk back to China. I told them if they sent me a postage paid label. I would return it but that I’m not going to be penalized for their blatant false advertisement. The company also goes by the name of Blazzra or that is probably the name of the brand of lighter. At this point, I kind of expect them to try and re-bill my credit card if I don’t return this within 90 days, but I’m in a wait-and-see situation right now..

Online Purchase - Coteson

The coat advertised was a Men's Vintage Brown Suede Leather And Faux Fur Lined Carhartt Vintage Jacket. Normally priced at $199.99 on sale for $79.99. I should have known it was too good to be true. I should have gone to the Carhartt website itself. However, I purchased it using my CC (I will be calling BoA in a few hours to declare the transaction a fraud). I got my parcel after a few weeks and noticed that it did not look anywhere like the item that was on their website. Also, I logged back into my account to use the "contact us" button and filled out their form and was told that "someone would reach out to me within 72 hours." No one did. So I waited a week and did the same thing, nothing. One more week and left an additional message in the notice saying I was going to contact my bank for fraud. Nothing. So I looked through their webpage and found their service email and sent them an email. The first email came back and told gave me a tracking number that showed that the package came from China (I will attach the tracking at the end of this). Obviously the person who read the email didn't understand English. I sent the email back in Chinese (using Google Translate). I got an email stating Option 1: Partial Refund Keep the item and receive a partial refund of $24. If you choose this option, please submit your request here: https://order-recovery.allindesk.com/order/refund-request/ORD-151450840 Option 2: Return for Refund Send the item back to us using the return address we’ll provide below. Receiver: Michelle Address: 9500 Santa Fe Springs Rd City: Santa Fe Springs State: California Country: US Zip Code: 90670 Phone: 580-969-8888 Return Policy: 1. We do not provide return labels. Customers are responsible for return shipping costs. Any customs fees or taxes incurred are also the customer’s responsibility. A return tracking number and receipt are required for us to process your refund. 2. The refund will cover the amount paid for the items. Any applied shipping fees or discounts will be deducted. 3. The return package must be shipped within 30 days of receiving the return instructions. 4. Items must be unworn, unwashed, undamaged, unaltered, and returned in their original packaging with tags intact. I replied that neither was acceptable since the item was not the correct size nor was it the actual real item (knock off).

Online Purchase - Pet Scam

Advertised labrador puppies for sale with option to ship.On the website selected the dog i wanted to purchase, was contacted via text, submitted name, address, phone, email. They requested payment via zelle,(first time i used the service) sent$750 . Stated they would get the puppy registered and ready for transit. Today 12-9-2025, said the dog was shipped. Got contacted by the scam shipping company purolatorlogistics.com that i needed to secure a thermal crate for $1500. Refundable mostly upon receipt of dog. Paid $1500 via zelle to move the shipping along. Later in the day got notified i needed to secure pet insurance for $1999 (which is just shy of what the daily limit is for zelle) I declined, stated these charges were not included in the terms of our agreement, the shipping company stated the dog would need to be picked up. If it was shipped from OK, the shipper stated it was on hold in KY . So i contacted the seller via text, shocked that this happened and we could work a solution in the morning. So I am out $2250. Thank you for your efforts in exposing this scam.

Advance Fee Loan - Loan Solicitation - Phishing Scam

Receive one call a day everyday for months. Derived from different phone #'s and different states so even though I can report as spam and block, it doesn't prevent continuous calls. They also provide slightly different scripts/names/call back numbers, but all essentially the same thing. Each one appears to be an AI generated voice - even as so much as have the same message and tone w a different name. Hi this is Anthony Parker calling from loan underwriting. I tried reaching you before the holidays and wasn't able to connect. So I wanted to give you a quick update on your personal loan file. From what I'm seeing you're very close to being approved. Um, it's lined up for about $60,000 on a 72 month term. Which comes out to roughly 1117 a month. We just need to go over a couple of small details with you before I can send over the documents over to review. If you have a minute, go ahead and press one to speak with me or your assigned underwriter, or you can call us back at 833-588-3806. (or now 866-959-1687.) If you'd rather not get updates anymore, just press 9. Needless to say I've never applied for any such loan nor have provided any of my information. There is no person on the line if answered directly, it just regurgitates the same message as it leaves on VM. At this point this is harassment and there's no way to pin down.

Once they got the pictures of completed form and copy of my drivers' license, they then told me I was hired and they would be sending me a new laptop in the mail in about 3 days, and I need to put several programs on it once received. They would then be sending me an electronic check through email and wanted me to deposit it through mobile banking and let them know once done.

They never asked for my Social Security number just a copy of my license and address and birthday on background check. I attached a copy of the background check form as well. The job was for data entry for remote work with a W2 employee for $29.00 per hour and $18.00 hour for one week of training.

I keep leveling up and once I get to level "A" (200,000 USDC) customer service says I need to pay another 74,000+ USDC to be able to use that level or my account will be frozen. (I reached this level A using profits from the system, they don't tell you that till you at a high level but they still allow you to proceed to that level.) A couple weeks goes by and they freeze my account and say I have another 3 weeks to pay the 74,000+ USDC. So, I raise the money but am a little short, so I ask for a week extension that was granted. I get the money in there and they do a review of my account and say I didn't meet the time limit and need to withdraw all my funds within a few days. I go to withdraw all the funds and they now say I need to pay 10% to receive my withdrawal since I didn't meet the timeline given to put the 74,000+ USDC in there. They just keep trying to extort money from people.

Advance Fee Loan - Loan Solicitation - Phishing Scam

I get 2 or 3 calls a day on my cell, all coming from different numbers. I block these numbers but the calls just come in from new ones. A person with an American accent and fake name leaves a voicemail saying" Our file shows you're nearly approved for $60,000. If you are still looking to finalize your loan request please press 1 to speak with underwriting or call 833-588-3809 and ask to speak about your offer..." etc. I never made such a request. I lost it once and tried the 833 number to try to tell them to stop. A person said "okay" but of course this didn't work. The voicemail says you can opt out by pressing 9 but of course I am wary of trying that!

But the job offer is too good to be true 4200-5500$ a month is not right for someone working only three days a week and then they tried to say after you are accepted. You will receive a hundred dollar signing bonus... I found the job on indeed applied.And then it was funny too once I went back on indeed and tried to find the job it was nowhere to be found...

Advance Fee Loan - pay day loan scam

He threatened to deliver a subpoena to my job and my home for fraud. He had a docket number or case number and said it was for a pay day loan that I failed to pay. I did have some pay day loans years ago and I paid them all. I no longer have the receipts so he had me believing I missed one. I asked him why I haven't received anything in the mail and he gave a vague reason. He said I could make installments or pay it all off which would be a better deal because installments would have more fees. He named the pay day loan company and said he would email me a receipt. I gave him a credit card number and he did send a receipt. The receipt is from Jennings and Moore but the charge shows Smart Connect Companie. This was definitely a scam.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The website presents itself as European clothes made out of 100% cotton but the clothes are acrylic shipped from China in horrible packaging. The quality of the sewing is awful and their customer service tried to keep as much money from me as possible and asked that I ship the product to Australia which cost me an extra $80. When I asked for a refund this is what they replied: Thank you for contacting us, we’ll be more than happy to help! I'm sorry to hear about your dissatisfaction! We can assist you with a return, however, it would have to come to our Australian address (most of our customers come from the AU, that’s why we have it there). Please note that shipping costs may be high due to the weight of the package & distance, and they’re the responsibility of the customer; but I spoke to my manager earlier and we came up with a few options that might be more beneficial for you We, as a company, will be at a loss on this order either way, so here’s what we could do to make things easier for you: We’re happy to let you keep the item (maybe it comes in handy one day, maybe it can be gifted), in order to help you avoid paying the hefty shipping fees, and we’ll still instantly refund you 20% of what you paid. That may end up being a little more than what you’d be left with if you were to pay a return fee, so I really think this would be a lot cheaper. We’ll take the loss, no problem. Your happiness = our goal. If Sizing was the issue: we can offer you a free replacement. You can still keep the current order, you would just have to pay for the replacement shipping cost to you - which is significantly cheaper than paying for a return (because we have contracts with carriers from here, due to our large shipping volume). If you decide on this option, please let us know the size and color you would like, and i will create a new order for you and request payment of shipping in an email. Alternatively, you can get a different, new item for free from https://lacceti.com/. That means you still won’t have to pay for return fees, and on top of that, you get a product for free. If the new item is more expensive than your current one, you only need to pay the shipping cost & difference. Take a look at our store and let us know what item you’d like! I’m trying to make sure I don’t let you go with the least beneficial option for you, which in this case would be the return. I look forward to hearing back from you! Kind regards, -Astrid

Debt Collections - Consumer Debt Services

I received a call from a number identified as ‘potential spam’. The caller stated that they were calling from ‘Consumer Debt Services’ about a medical bill that I owed which had been turned over to them for collection. I asked questions and they advised that the billing entity was Medical Diagnostics Labs, the work was a full blood panel (they even started naming different types of tests), and they gave me a billing date of 04-20-2024, and even an invoice number. They threatened to start judgment proceedings if I didn’t give them a debit or credit card to make the payment immediately. Fortunately I knew that I had not had any labs done around that time, nor had I received any bills that were not paid. I eventually spoke with another rep, and asked for a couple of days to research the issue, and asked them to call me back at a later date. That date has not yet arrived, and I suspect that they will not call me back. Having researched the issue, I am now 100% certain that this is a scam, and I won’t give them any payment information.

Counterfeit Product - Prozenith sold by CartPanda

I purchased a weight loss supplement called Prozenith. A 6 month supply for $320. It was promoted by Oprah Winfrey so I thought it was legit. I now have read that AI was used to impersonate Oprah. It stated that if I wasnt satisfied, I would get a full refund within 60 days. So I marked my calendar just in case I wasnt satisfied. i contacted prozenith support a few days before my 60 days were up because I actually gained weight instead of lost any weight. I was told to fill out a form so I did, BUT I could only get a partial refund (if i didnt return any bottles etc). I was given a number to call since that is unacceptable. Of course, no one answered so I left a voicemail. When I finally got informed to fill out the return form again, it stated I was past my 60 day satisfaction period! So frustrating! . I was told via email that I would hear back from them soon once they figure out how to handle my situation. I of course never heard back from them. Finally I gave up trying to get refunded and told them I am contacting the Better Business Bureau. I forgot to mention that before I even started to take prozenith, I received a call trying to get me to hire a coach while taking the supplement for a whopping $800! What the ****? Also i forgot to mention when I originally tried to get a refund, i was offered to put the $320 that I spent for this scam product toward a coach instead! I'm will never buy this product again! Total scam! Do not purchase this product from Cart Panda (3rd party company).

I received an email from somebody claiming to be Edmond Hodge, a recruiter, then later the vice president, of Trinity Health. He told me he was looking to hire someone for a customer service position, and that if I was interested, I should reach out via a link to a Microsoft Teams meeting. I clicked on the link and he offered to interview me immediately. After the interview, he offered me the job, which would start at $25 an hour, then increase to $35 after training; benefits were also included. He also said I would be receiving a check in the mail and that I was supposed to cash it at my bank and use to by computer equipment, such as a printer and a photocopier. I then told him I needed a day to think about it before accepting. Something seemed fishy, so I googled "Trinity Health scams" and found some Reddit posts from people who encountered the same scam. Whoever these people are, they're using the names of real people from Trinity Health to make their scams sound more credible. Ironically, researching them on LinkedIn does more harm than good. The way to spot them is to look for inconsistencies in what they claim to be within the organization, and comparing the spelling of the name being given with the name found online, like Edmond and Edmund. Also, if it seems to good to be true, it usually is.

On Pinterest you will see an advertisement “best robot dogs” showing a video with life like dogs that interact with you. They have a number of videos and even testimonies of others who bought from them. Their website says you can email within 48 hours to request they cancel your order. I tried to cancel my order within 10 minutes of making it and received and email days later saying their system is automated so it’s already been shipped. The best they could offer is me paying shipping to return it or giving me a discount. Once I got my 3 puppies their appearance is less than what a dollar store toy would look like and makes a beep sound for a bark. Nothing like promised!

Business Name: JALIZA Website: jaliza.com Email: [email protected] Nature of Complaint Order cancellation after confirmation, inconsistent communication methods, and an offer of compensation contingent upon removing a negative review. Complaint Details I am filing this complaint regarding my experience with JALIZA related to an online order placed in December 2025. I placed and received confirmation for an order on December 2, 2025. Several days later, on December 7, 2025, my order was canceled by the company without prior direct communication using the contact information I provided at checkout (email). After the cancellation, JALIZA stated that the item price had been posted incorrectly. They claimed they attempted to contact me prior to canceling the order, including via WhatsApp, which I do not use and did not provide as a contact method when placing the order. I did not receive any phone call, text message, or timely email notification before the cancellation occurred. Following my public review on Trustpilot describing this experience, the company offered compensation and explicitly requested that I remove my negative review in exchange for payment. Most recently, I was offered $50 via PayPal for the loss of my deposit, paired with another request to remove the Trustpilot review. While I understand that pricing errors can occur, my concern is with: • The lack of proper, timely communication before canceling a confirmed order • Claims of attempted contact through channels I never authorized or provided • Offering compensation contingent upon removing or altering a public review, which raises concerns about transparency and ethical business practices I updated my Trustpilot review to include the company’s responses for accuracy and fairness. However, I am now more concerned about the pattern of communication and the request to remove a review in exchange for money. Desired Resolution I am seeking: • A formal review of JALIZA’s business practices related to order cancellations and customer communication • Assurance that customers are contacted through the methods they actually provide • Clarification that compensation is not tied to the removal of honest consumer feedback My goal is accountability and transparency so future customers do not experience the same issues.

I was recruited via phone text by an agent of Nexxen (646-302-5146) named Annie Corbin (425-568-7287). I was engaged to perform real person Merchant product evaluations on the Internet to boost product awareness and boost sales directly due to these reviews. This arrangement took a suspicious turn when I was told to evalute with 5 stars products I had never seen. It got worse because I had to compensate THEM for negative invoicing because they had not invoiced the merchant as of yet and I was expected to cover that - in other words, I was to personally pay the Nexxen cost of doing business. Then, once the merchant paid Nexxen, the negative funds I paid for Nexxen's cost of doing business were reimbursed and I would have that refunded and get paid a few hundred dollars of payroll. Suddenly today, due to one of their contrived product review bundles, I was hit with a negative balance of - $1537 to get my pay of $1616. After a few days of this bait and switch process with Nexxen, it was my first decent payment - $500 I deposited today and $1,100 in pay for today. Conveniently, they are keeping all of my money and refuse to pay my deposit or paycheck, since they froze my account due to this imaginary shortfall. Looks like a scam to me. Customer service can't be reached since the live phone call constantly goes to voicemail and WhatsApp shows the numbers don't exist (347-586-8248, 646-331-2954, 213-767-7128). I believe this should also be shown on Yelp for Business, Google Business Reviews, the Department of Justice, the FBI, Bureau of Consumer Protection, the FTC, US Attorney General, FCC (fraud by electronic communication), Consumer Financial Protection Bureau and the Rip Off Report (Seen in 132 countries). Since such a consumer protection case takes only 100 Plaintiffs, the rest of you thousands who may have been similarly ripped off can contact me and the thousands who are owed money can get together. Millions they will pay in damages. What do you think?
