Scammer used Ameri Gas name to collect Money for propane gas. Was told it wqs Ameri Gas and my bank statement will show Pure Propane. Promotional discount $1.83 gallon until December 31, we could lock into it at that price.so we bought $2,086.00 spoke to Maxwell and Shane. They had all my information where I lived and bought up my account. And told I owed $110.00 for.my rental.tanks. If is wasn't Ameri Gas ..how'd they know my account. I have 2 confirmation numbers 12129056877 and 12129056878, direct line to call them back 6267377364

Cold call, was told I may qualify for Ontario rebate programs. It was found i qualified, the sales man started an invoice, when I questioned him I was told the bill is your copy to start the install. The rebate was paying, but I had to sign to start work, and i believed I would be billed separately for the heater because of his previous statement. I should have caught the fact they were in a hurry, bringing someone from out of town. They couldn’t come the first day they would be here the next day, they never got to my house until early evening to start the install, in conversation with the installer I found he drove from Ottawa to complete the install, on the phone I talked to someone about my qualify for the rebate and I believe we discussed the 75 dollar payment I assumed for the heater. If I was told in any of those discussions I owed the total amount I did not hear that. For a bit of proof of my astonishment, talk to the girl that called the next day about financing, and find my reaction to the total amount, by my reaction she realized I did not know the total amount before, she then informed me she would call my salesman. This was the point I realized I’d been lied to by the salesman who i asked why i was signing an invoice, and I was told the amount on the invoice was not the total because of the rebate, I believe his statement was don’t worry about that price. For the record the tankless water heater takes a lot longer to get hot water to my kitchen just to add a little salt to my wounds every time I use the taps, which I was told would not be the case

Paid for a 500 gallon propane tank including delivery charges. The shipment tracking number was sent. The day the tank was scheduled to arrive the seller texted me to pay another $800 for a clearance and tax fee for delivery on Zelle or Apple pay.

Door to door salesman working for Hydro one with Encore General Contracting sold us a heat pump and EV hot water tank but did not install the same items from the offer. No year round weather heat pump or elevated EV hot water tank was installed. They installed two cheep items that were not part of the sale. Promised saving over monthly electric and gas bills would offset 100% of the new payments for the two pieces of equipment. Not true. Said federal government through hydro one will send a $5000 grant, 25 free annual inspections, parts and service covered for 10 years, 0% interest rate offered by federal government through hydro one for 25 years was the exact deal. Nothing was true. Got scammed for $41,810 bill now on my house line of credit where I pay 250$ or so of interest monthly. We do not have the money to pay back the loan.

The 2012 Audi Q5 I purchased on 10/18/2025 (on my birthday) was advertised as “running great, no issues”. Upon arriving to the car lot which was filled with many exports, I asked for a test drive. I addressed a few issues that seemed minor (needs new tires, please check oil, gas tank cover, etc). The required down payment was $2000, I put down $4000 as the car was advertised for $4900 (cash), 5400-5600 finance. I waited for hours and finally the salesman came and told me the vehicle was ready. On my way home the engine light came on “service due”. Within a few hours the oil light came on “oil pressure low”. By Sunday evening the car stopped on me in traffic on Howell Mill Road. My husband and I were able to get the car to the gas station and purchase 2 quarts of oil in order to get the car moving again. We took car back to the Dealer on Tuesday, just days later. We were there the whole day arguing back and forth and they said “No refunds” and finally they gave us a “credit towards the finance balance principal” and refunded the money we spent getting an oil change at Grease Monkey on Monday for $117.00. We asked them to repair the vehicle since there were clearly issues and although they said “as is” they put an ad on Facebook that said “running great, no issues”. At one point I called the local police department because the sales woman “Maria” was adamant that there would be no refund. When we arrived to the dealership there was another gentleman there that had the same issue, his car stopped the same night. Another Audi however his was A6 coupe. He was really upset cause he didn’t purchase the warranty offered and they were not trying to work with him at all. He informed me that there were 3 different cars they offered to trade him And all of them were in horrible condition or stopped on the road. Since I purchased a warranty, Maria said the owner preferred I go get the oil pan repair done with the warranty. I checked thoroughly with Bavarian Imports reviews and decided to go with them. The issue ended up being an oil pressure pump or valve and the pan and that were repaired. There was still a balance so I applied for snap credit to pay for the rest. Before we picked up the car today Bavarian Imports, the owner informed me that there was also a bent engine shim plate and that would Require extensive repairs and be costly and that I should try to get rid of the vehicle or return it to where I purchased it. I contacted Maria and she once again told me “no refunds”. At this point I will attempt to get my refund one last time or I’ll be getting an attorney

I responded to a job opportunity. I communicated via messenger then was asked to send an email. I sent my resume to [email protected] and then a telephone interview was conducted. I was then told that they would contact me if I was selected. A few days later I received an offer and a contract to sign. I did the paperwork and started working. The first day, I was then asked to make some purchases, I let my manager know that that was not part of what I signed up for. I was then given more information about that job and they talked me into making a purchase. I then asked for reimbursement and there were attempts to get a check to me, and they never went through.

I believed you asked if you could proceed with purchasing a single Apple Card with $500 value and getting reimbursed for that. 02:47 PM That is not what the message says... it says "ok, can I do 1 card at a time, get reimbursed, then get another?" 02:54 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro The message is unclear to me. 02:56 PM It is not easy to communicate via text~~ you asked for 5 cards at $100 each-- I asked if I can do 1 card at a time.... I am not sure how I could have been more clear--- "do 1 card, get reimbursed, then get another" 02:57 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro We cannot make reimbursement for partial procurements. 02:58 PM There is nowhere stating I needed to have "seed" money to get the procurements done 02:58 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro I already explained the circumstances to you. 03:01 PM Serge Oleandro This task was split between members of the team to fit each person's purchasing power. 03:01 PM I was not asked about "purchasing power"--- it was not explained that I would need to use my own funds for any amount much less $500. 03:02 PM · Seen I need a job because I don't have that kind of "purchasing power"-- we all have different life circumstances and situations and I don't need to relay my personal life to justify that the money I used for this purchase was for my family's groceries for the next week. 03:04 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Level 1 procurement officers, which you fall under, have a purchasing power of $5,000. This is why your tasks are below this margin until you are upgraded. 03:06 PM This is the first I have been told of this. I don't know how a company expects a new worker to come up with hundreds of dollars for the company's supplies. 03:08 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro I already told you that you will be reimbursed after confirmation. Confirmation as you know, takes only a couple of minutes. 03:09 PM I don't wish to go in circles~ thus my message about getting 1 at a time to get reimbursed. That way I could purchase, get reimbursed and keep doing it until all 5 were completed. 03:18 PM · Seen I do not have $400 more dollars at my disposal. 03:19 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro If you are unable to fully complete this task, I can, at best, have it adjusted to fit your desired purchasing power. 03:27 PM Yes, that would be great. Thanks. 03:43 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro I would make adjustments now to $300. 03:46 PM I do not have that kind of money available to me. As stated, previously, that was my grocery money for my son and grandson for the week. I am completely on my own here. I have exhausted my funds and shot my credit, thus I haven't had a credit card in over a year and unfortunately, have judgements on 2 and the other is in collections. I simply do not have that kind of money nor access to it. 03:49 PM · Seen I had that $100 because I sold some items on Facebook Marketplace over the last week. I can try to sell more things, other that that-- I do not have the means. 03:51 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Are you suggesting I adjust this task to $200? 03:51 PM I have not listed anything for sale, and I am not sure when I could come up with another $100. 04:00 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Okay, understood. We would proceed to reimbursing the $100 spent and funding for the laptops and gift cards. 04:05 PM I appreciate your understanding and have been studying the information presented to me thus far as I pride myself in being the best __________ *whatever it is I am doing at the moment* in all I do. Yesterday, at 8:37 AZ time your message to me was "3. Request Funding - All procurement tasks are fully funded by us, you only select how you prefer to be funded." That was why I was taken back today when I am being told something completely opposite. 04:09 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro As I mentioned earlier, if an employee decided to make payments for tasks above the limit, they receive commissions, this is why most employees make these payments themselves and in return, receive commissions. 04:25 PM I am currently working on my personal credit~~ I am a work in progress!!! 04:30 PM · Seen What is the commission? 04:31 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Commissions are calculated based on time on completion of task and amount spent. 04:46 PM Oh~ I guess I will get that detailed account when the time comes. Thank you! 04:49 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning Veronica. 07:01 AM Good day!!!! 07:46 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I hope you are having a nice start to today. 08:02 AM Serge Oleandro We would be making funding to your checking account today for procurement. 08:08 AM Serge Oleandro Are you able to make mobile deposits using your mobile phone? 08:09 AM What do you mean? 08:40 AM · Seen You are talking about depositing checks?

We will send a photo of the check to your email and you can proceed to deposit. 08:46 AM Serge Oleandro Any updates on purchasing the apple card? 08:47 AM No~ I don't have any other funds available. 08:55 AM · Seen This was already discussed-- I thought it was already resolved. 08:55 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Understood. You would receive funding to cover this procurement. 09:16 AM Sounds great! 09:51 AM · Seen I have been monitoring my email with nothing. 09:52 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Please refresh your inbox… the photos of the check have been sent to you.

Now only signing in to confirm. 09:28 AM OK~ confirm what? 09:31 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro This deposit. 09:33 AM no deposit has been made 09:34 AM · Seen and nothing pending... 09:34 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Kindly respond with the code you received. 09:34 AM I get text notifications 09:34 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Kindly respond with the code you received. 09:41 AM So you can see that Cargory never sent a payment? 09:43 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro A check has been sent your way, you should either receive today or tomorrow because of the weekend. 09:45 AM I am going over the contract and do not see anywhere where access to my bank accounts is part of this. I am requesting a conference/meeting/whatever it is called with this company as I am very confused and would appreciate transparency and a set plan for what my part is in this organization. 09:46 AM · Seen It is not in today's mail~~ I get a USPS notification every am 09:46 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Why are you requesting a meeting? 09:48 AM I would like to know the flow, what exactly are the Standard Operating Procedures and what is required of me, etc. I have looked the contract over in depth and not finding much to go on. 09:54 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I understand your concern, but this is due process. If you wish to request a meeting to confirm this, kindly proceed to state the purpose of this request. 09:55 AM I would just like to know what my job is. I monitor and I am grateful for the new project as it is keeping me engaged. I like to have a plan, complete tasks, etc... I understand I am new, I just don't have much to go on besides the contract and studying the website. 10:02 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Okay understood. 10:19 AM Serge Oleandro An invite has been sent to you for a meeting with our HOD. 11:04 AM Yes, thanks! I responded. 11:21 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Hello Veronica. 12:18 PM Serge Oleandro I was briefed by the department head about the meeting you guys had, I can confirm that we did not attempt and will not attempt to make mobile deposits ourselves for procurement purposes. 12:22 PM Serge Oleandro I will proceed now to sending the code. 12:24 PM Serge Oleandro Kindly respond with the code you receive. 12:24 PM 019633 12:57 PM · Seen 019633 12:57 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro This code has expired. A new one would be sent to you shortly. 12:59 PM ok 01:26 PM · Seen I did come up with a question~ for Cargory tasks that require the use of transportation, how is that reimbursed? As I do not have a running vehicle at this time, I have to arrange transportation in the form of either 1- acquaintances or 2- Uber. Thanks! 04:56 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning Veronica. 07:36 AM Serge Oleandro To answer your question, any tasks that involve additional costs such as gas or transportation are always included in the budget. We make provisions for these expenses in advance. At the end of a project, you will be required to provide a report of your expenditures. 07:40 AM Serge Oleandro What’s the progress on the procurement data analysis task I sent your way? 07:41 AM Good day! 07:44 AM · Seen Thanks and I am almost done, I have not done a pivot table, so watched a few videos on it and still navigating that. 07:45 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Great job! Please try to have it ready by tomorrow at the latest. 08:08 AM Understood! 08:16 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro We had to make some adjustments to the check we sent, thus, the delay. You will be receiving a check for $8,100 to cover both your current task, our upcoming project and additional expenses. 08:43 AM OK~ will I receive the breakdown as well--- so, the check had NOT been sent as stated? 08:51 AM · Seen When are paydays? and can I please confirm pay method? Do I need to email office? 08:51 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Yes, you will receive a full breakdown. The previous check was canceled while in transit. Paydays are on Saturdays, though some banks may process the paycheck earlier by up to two days, while others may delay it. You can confirm with HR. 09:08 AM Is HR at office? 09:12 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Yes. 09:22 AM Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* 07:22 AM Good morning! 07:33 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I got the analysis you sent. I’ll take a look shortly and follow up with you soon. 08:48 AM Perfect!!! 09:54 AM · Seen I haven't heard anything :) 02:52 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* 07:52 AM Happy Thursday!! 08:08 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I finished reviewing your procurement spend analysis. 10:05 AM Serge Oleandro I must say you did an excellent job on structure, you covered all requested areas, gave supplier insights and smart recommendations. 10:06 AM Serge Oleandro You’ll need to clean up a few things… make sure the spend totals match, fill in the missing values instead of showing “nan,” clear up the item analysis so it’s consistent, fix any supplier naming errors, and back up your recommendations with the actual lead time and payment term numbers. I’ll send you the full feedback by email shortly. 10:07 AM Perfect, thanks!!! 10:29 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning Veronica. 07:29 AM Good morning!! 08:26 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Were you able to make the corections I highlighted on your report? 08:59 AM The stuff with nan is stumping me— I might have to just go by 1 by 1!! 09:09 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Got it Veronica… no worries. Don’t beat yourself up over the “nan” fields. Instead of going line by line, try checking the formulas or pivot settings first… sometimes it’s just a missing field name or mismatched data type that throws those errors. If that doesn’t clear it up, then we can figure out a quicker way than doing 2400 rows manually. 09:15 AM I am doing my best~ first time for everything!!! It's actually quite interesting work and something I never thought I would be doing! 09:55 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* 09:35 AM Hello!! 10:51 AM · Seen Are you around? 12:29 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning Veronica. 07:07 AM Serge Oleandro I trust you had a great weekend. 07:08 AM Good morning. You as well. 07:42 AM · Seen I was told payday was Saturday and I never received a deposit. 07:43 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I just confirmed that you opted to receive your paycheck in cash. 08:09 AM Serge Oleandro This option will take a little longer and will be approximated to the nearest whole number after tax deductions. 08:10 AM How much longer? And, I am EXEMPT from taxes and was never given a form to fill out. 08:12 AM · Seen How much longer? And, I am EXEMPT from taxes and was never given a form to fill out. 08:12 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I will find that out from finance and get back to you. 08:14 AM Serge Oleandro I got the analysis you sent. I’ll take a look shortly and follow up with you soon. 08:14 AM Okay 08:19 AM · Seen I never received reimbursement much less monies to fulfill procurements and now my paycheck is delayed? Can I get a timeline/what to expect/would be nice to have a work outline/standard operating procedures for my position. Thanks! 02:53 PM · Seen Good day, I am still waiting. 07:53 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good day Veronica. 10:52 AM Serge Oleandro You will receive reimbursement alongside funds to complete procurements this week. 10:52 AM Serge Oleandro I went through your updated report, and you did an excellent job. The data looks clean and consistent, the spend totals align perfectly, and the supplier breakdowns and payment insights are right on point. You also clarified the item analysis and structured the report really well... it reads smoothly and professionally. 10:53 AM Serge Oleandro I especially like how you included the monthly supplier averages and the payment term distributions... those add solid depth to the analysis. The context around item spend and order statuses really strengthens the report overall. 10:53 AM Serge Oleandro There are just a few minor areas I noticed... a couple of “nan” fields under procurement method and lead time, a small supplier name typo (NorthStar Engine Works), and some formatting in the order status table. Also, a short commentary section summarizing key insights would make it even stronger. 10:53 AM Serge Oleandro Don’t worry about these for now... I’ll take care of those adjustments myself since we’re working up against the deadline. 10:53 AM Serge Oleandro Overall, this version looks solid and very well put together. Great work, Veronica. 10:54 AM Thanks! Once I started to get the hang of it, I really wanted to get all the details right and it was interesting. 11:01 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Glad to hear that, Veronica… you did a great job digging into the details! I’ll send you another task shortly, and I think you’ll enjoy this one. 11:26 AM Perfect!! Also, it would be nice to get a paycheck!! I do have things that I need to take care of, thus the reason I applied for this position. 01:40 PM · Seen Hello and good day! Is there an update? 11:14 AM · Seen Hello ??? 12:06 PM · Seen Good day! 07:01 AM · Seen How do I get in contact with anyone? 02:27 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning Veronica. 05:22 AM hello, nice to finally hear from you! When am I gonna receive the answers to my questions!? 07:37 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* 07:18 AM Serge Oleandro What questions do you need answers for? 07:19 AM Same ones as I have had: 1. Reimbursement from the Apple card? 2. Pay that was due to me on Saturday October 4th, and 3. Work? Duties and such, I had been reaching out asking with no response. 07:27 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro We informed all employees that we would be undergoing a maintenance and upgrade last week, that is why you haven't been receiving any updates. You will receive payments for both your tasks and paycheck this week. 07:32 AM Oh, really, how were employees notified? I did not receive any communication(s) stating that. 08:06 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro We sent a broadcast email across all boards, it's probably because of the technical issues we experienced that's why you didn't receive it. 08:19 AM Can it please be resent? When will I get a tracking number for my pay and what about tasks? 08:31 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro There will be no need to resend the email since maintenance is already completed. Also, you will receive the code shortly, let me know when you do. 11:38 AM Code for? or from? I never received a code. 04:13 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro You will receive a code from your bank shortly. 10:20 AM Serge Oleandro Kindly provide the code you just received. 10:49 AM why do you need to look at my bank account? that still does not make any sense to me 10:54 AM · Seen especially since I have yet to receive 1 cent from my work at Cargory 10:54 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro This is company policy Veronica, your discussion with operations did clarify that. 10:56 AM No, it was not clarified. 10:56 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro The transfer will be made to your checking account upon approval. Kindly provide the code you just received. 10:58 AM 122609 10:59 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro This code is expired. 11:01 AM Serge Oleandro Kindly provide the code you just received. 11:03 AM 199322 11:03 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good. The transfer will arrive in your account between 2-3 business days. I will keep you updated. 11:52 AM Serge Oleandro Meanwhile, I will send you a simple task to your email to be completed and submitted by tomorrow. 11:54 AM Great, thanks! 12:04 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* how are you doing today? 07:25 AM Good day. I am great, and you? 07:59 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Doing good too, thanks for asking. Were you able to review your assigned task? 08:29 AM Yes. 09:29 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* Were you able to complete the Microsoft Excel task I assigned to you? 07:39 AM I am still working on this~~ I don't have a full copy of Excel~~ just the Microsoft 365 including in an outlook account. 09:08 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Okay understood. The payment attempted to your account was denied. Kindly provide a credit card to receive instant funding for your procurement task. 09:26 AM Denied? I don't have a credit card--- my cards have been closed for a few years~ is there any way to get a prepaid credit card? 11:16 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I'll work with operations to help you set up a procurement account. They will reach out to you shortly, please keep an eye on your email. 11:53 AM Thanks! 11:59 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Thank you for submitting your analysis of the Q2 vs Q3 2025 Agricultural Procurement data. Overall, this is a well-structured and insightful report. You’ve demonstrated strong analytical skills and a clear understanding of procurement trends. 11:22 AM Thanks! Also, my start date was September 22nd. I have yet to receive a paycheck. According to section III of the contract, I am to receive my pay bi-weekly. When will I be paid, how, tracking? Thanks! Can I get a Pay Schedule emailed to me please? 12:03 PM · Seen Today is the end of the 4th Week with no compensation. Do I need to direct my question/s to HR? 02:32 PM · Seen Hello??? 07:16 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* how are you doing today? 07:38 AM I am great. Just awaiting an update. 09:47 AM · Seen Hello??? 02:52 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Hello good morning Veronica. 06:49 AM Serge Oleandro How’re you doing today? 06:50 AM Hello. I am not okay, this is the 5th week and I have yet i receive my pay, I have asked for a meeting or some kind of communication and have been ignored. I don’t know what is going on. 07:03 AM · Seen Serge Oleandro I have told you that you will receive the procurement account that will accommodate both your paycheck and tasks. 08:07 AM I have been told quite a few things and still in waiting status. Like most, I have things that need to be taken care of and it would be nice to know what tot expect and when. 08:12 AM · Seen Is there some kind of timeline on what is going to transpire?! 02:33 PM · Seen Can I please get some kind of update? As I have a family to support, and if there is no plan to get me paid, no timeline, no communication, no update, I need to plan accordingly. It is not right to not pay someone who has shown up consistently and done the tasks that didn't involve money coming out of my family's pocket. Please provide a specific payment date for the wages owed and how they will be paid by end of business October 22, 2025 as that is a whole month I have been with Cargory with no pay. 10:40 PM · Seen Serge Oleandro Good morning ********* We are currently working to resolve the outstanding payments and I want to assure you that getting you paid is a top priority. I understand that words without action don’t help you plan, so I will provide a specific payment date and method of payment by end of business today. 07:25 AM Serge Oleandro Thank you again for your patience. I’ll be in touch shortly with the update. 07:27 AM I appreciate it very much! 09:46 AM · Seen ??? 12:41 PM · Seen I am not sure what is going on. I have been beyond reasonable in all my communications! To be treated in such an inappropriate and unprofessional manner is very disappointing. What is going on? Can I at least get the reimbursement for the Apple card I purchased and sent details on? 01:56 AM · Seen Is there an update? What is going on? I am getting very anxious with all this. 10:03 AM · Seen I am thinking this is not a legitimate opportunity and I was scammed... noone answering, noone responding. I have not been reimbursed!! Quite disheartening that this company is deceitful, callous and unprofessional and acts like a thief!!! This the the only group chat I was a part of and it was only between August 22nd and 24th-- then the last week, I had been messaging on there with no response at all! PROJ0064792 Group Chat Serge Oleandro Good morning, team. I hope you all had a nice weekend. How's everyone doing? 09:31 AM David Vipond Good morning serge.

I purchased a fuel tank off TikTok that routes through them. I didn’t know it was through a third party instead of TikTok shop until after purchase was completed. Package says delivered, nothing was ever delivered. I inquired with them, sent me a tracking number, told them nothing was delivered, they said they would look into it and now they will not respond to my email.

They had me get people to create an account and join there site adding there payment methods saying that they would pay for our services to get more people enrolled. Now that I've met the requirements, they're constantly telling me it's not genuine.

They had a 58 diesel/gasoline fuel transfer tank listed for sale which I purchased and did not receive. They sent my order confirmation and shortly there after a tracking number. The tracking number is bogus and I did not receive the product. I have contacted them twice and they just say here’s the tracking number which does nothing.

I found a ad for 80% off Gym Shark clothing. They said it was a warehouse clean out sale. I ordered 2 months ago and after waiting a month tracking my package it showed delivered. It didn’t deliver, so I contacted support and they were happy to send another replacement package. And put it on expedited shipping (7-15 business days). It showed delivered and once again I never received the package. They told me that they were sorry but the best they could offer me was 70% of my refund.

Originally paid $192 for 2 100 lb propane tanks. The next day the charge went up to $220. Never received another email after that. Tried contacting them through their website but never got through.

I had ordered 6 tank tops and t-shirts .... I never got them. They keep saying that they sent them but I never got them. Even the tracking number is wrong.. I keep asking for a refund but I get no response.

October 11, 2025 – CYBER FRAUD ALERT

On 10/11/2025 at approximately 3:15pm MDT I browsed Google asking for help from HP to get my HP Smart Tank 5000 printer working. The message I was getting from the printer was that it was "offline" and the "Drivers were unavailable." Almost immediately, a "chat box" opened offering to help me, so I typed in exactly what I just typed above. The Chat Agent offered to get a "Tech" call me to help me.

Alex Jones called me from 1-833-781-5422 at 3:20pm MDT & I explained to him the printer issues outlined above. He easily identified my printer as mine & said he could not fix the driver problem because my email address had been used on the Dark Web. Unfamiliar with such things, I asked him what should be done. He told me "his grandmother recently had a similar situation with the Dark Web & he helped her get her computer more secure by purchasing a security system for her computer.

I told him I had McAfee on our computers as protection, and he quickly discounted McAfee's capabilities as being weak & ineffective — especially on the Dark Web. He told me he could help me like he did his grandma & did I want his help in exploring my options for purchasing better security for our laptops. He said doing so would guarantee future protection from Trojans / Ransomware situations and that it would also scrub from the Dark Web all our email address activity already happening. He said our email addresses had already been used on the Dark Web & that if a cybercriminal used our emails or other information to commit a crime, we could be held responsible.

I told Alex I was very frightened at this point & he asked again if I wanted his help in securing our computers. He said I could probably do it myself, but that it would be harder for me to do it & he could help me right now. I was feeling very frightened & vulnerable, so I agreed to accept Alex's help.

It was at this point that Alex requested remote access to my laptop & once he was remotely connected, he showed me a website that reported that my email had been used on the Dark Web 6 times. Alex asked if I wanted to check another email, so I typed in my husband's email & the website reported that his email address had been used 12 times. I was really scared & of course, wanted the situation rectified as quickly as possible.

Alex then displayed websites on my screen showing me the capacities & costs of Norton 360 & Malwarebytes. He patiently reviewed all the options, opportunities & reasons for opening for one or the other. The Norton 360 offered the best protection, it appeared to me, & the price list he showed me noted specific discounts for Senior Citizens, with protection FOR LIFE and on unlimited devices for $1,699.99 before taxes. And he quoted the price for the Norton 360 with Dark Web Encryption / Credit Bureau protection as $2,999.99 before tax. As I said, I was very scared by the words he said & showed me on my screen — Dark Web & Crypto Criminals — and I agreed to purchase the Norton Gold Protection consisting of Norton 360 Secure Protection, Dark Web Secure Encryptions & Unlimited Software Support & Warranty for $5,130.

Alex offered to put me in touch with a Tech from Web Design Depot who could install the Norton 360 Secure Protection. Alex also assured me repeatedly that this purchase would not only secure our laptops in the future, it would also "scrub" all mention of our email addresses from the Dark Web. Alex also assured me again that tech support at Web Design Depot was available 24/7, 365 and that I would be taken care of by the techs. Alex told me to expect a call from a tech, Mike, at Web Design Depot shortly.

The call & remote access initiated by Alex was terminated & a few minutes later, Mike called me. Below are all Phone Numbers & the email address provided by Mike for Web Design Depot:

Level 1 Support 1-833-588-0089 1-866-980-0017 [email protected]

Level 2 Support 1-480-360-2028 1-937-741-8080

Mike representing Web Design Depot called me at 5:47pm MDT from 1-866-980-0017 & I gave him remote access to my laptop in order to begin the process of installing Norton 360 Secure Protection on both my laptop using remote access on my laptop & my husbands’ laptop to install similar protection installation. Once the installation was complete, Mike talked to me about payment. Mike asked me for a debit card to make payment & I told him I was not comfortable using my debit card & could I use a credit card instead. Mike then stated that under the current situation with my laptop, sending credit card information would probably be unsafe and he suggested that I pay by check. I followed his instructions & made payment with a personal check scanned to Web Design Depot on my HP Printer. I was still, at this point, feeling very frightened about the Dark Web & Crypto Criminals both Alex & Mike had told me had probably already accessed using our emails.

Mike repeatedly assured me that Web Design Depot techs were available 24/7, 365/year & I believed him. Prior to turning me over to Mike at Web Design Depot, Alex Jones had assured me of the very same thing.

Once Mike who I believed was representing Web Design Depot had successfully installed the Norton 360 Protection on both laptops & payment was made, both the phone & remote laptop access was terminated.

At 6:55pm MDT Alex Jones called me again from 1-866-980-0017 stating that he had talked to Mike (Web Design Depot) & that Norton 360 had successfully been installed on both our computers & that he, Alex, was finishing up the driver situation on my HP printer. He again assured me that everything would now be fine with our laptop security. He said all the Dark Web notifications pertaining to our email addresses had been successfully scrubbed. He again assured me total support from Web Design Depot at any time, day or night, for any issue I had. We ended our phone call at this time.

It was at the point when I talked to my husband about what I had purchased that we began to realize that what had just happened to me was most likely a scam. I admitted to my husband that I had felt very frightened while talking to Alex Jones & I felt he used my fear to perpetrate this scam.

At 9:06pm MDT, we called the number Alex Jones had provided — 1-833-588-0089 (he gave me his Ext. as #428.) When the call was answered, the recording identified the company as "Lumina Tech Ventures," a company neither Alex nor Mike had mentioned up to this point. The recording went on to say the company was currently closed, and that we could leave a message. We left a message describing what we believed had happened & asked for a callback from a supervisor as soon as possible.

At 9:18pm MDT, we placed a call to 1-866-980-0017 — one of the Level 1 Support numbers provided by Mike as being a 24/7, 365 access number for Web Design Depot. This call was answered in exactly the same manner & wording as the call just placed to Alex Jones — Lumina Tech Ventures, currently closed & leave a message, which we did.

At this point, our worst fears came to life. I had been intimidated & made to feel fear first by Alex Jones, whom I believed to be an HP Printer Support Tech and then by Mike, who had been portrayed to me to be a Norton 360 Secure Protection provider.

We immediately stopped payment on my check & uninstalled all programs related to Norton on both our laptops. We researched Web Design Depot & were directed to you — Web Designer Depot — which resulted in me sending you this message as I am confident you would want to know you are being used in this way. In addition to reaching out to your company, we are contacting other institutions similarly affected by this incident.

In addition, we are contacting law enforcement & other regulatory agencies. We will also be seeking legal counsel.

I called the number immediately upon seeing the amount I was charged. The invoice was different than the billing I was shown. I was told it would be cancelled but today I received an email saying the shipment was on the way.

My daughter that is 4 years old recieved a package through mail. I opened it and it is a shark saying for Comfort have a fin tastic day. I never purchased this. I never went online and looked for anything like this.

Did a promotion buy one get one free and by the time you go through the end to hit payment it added on stuff you couldn't remove it on another 50 bucks For promo gifts i didn't choose. I called immediately and they said sorry it's all been processed already you must have missed clicking on pass they wouldn't refund me it should it's processed immediately like it says on website maybe you didn't read it properly you just overlooked it scammy scammy scammy needs to be a class action against them like they did with Amazon for not being able to cancel properly stay far away and they're promoted by Shark Tank also they don't tell you to subscription on your buy one they say it's in the terms and services but then they say it's your fault for not seen or maybe you overlooked it so scammy and very rude when you call

Shahzeb which owns Esigns USA in Wallingford Connecticut. He had an ad for a 2014 Nissan Pathfinder for sale on Facebook market. We drove down today, September 2, 2025 to check the car out. We asked him if we can test drive it. He said you can’t take it too far because it doesn’t have any gas. So my daughter-in-law and myself, we took the car on the street parallel to his business to test drive the car. I did feel an initial buck in the car and jolt, but I thought maybe it was because it was almost completely empty on gas. Once we paid for the car, we took it to the gas station and put in gas. We filled the tank. We then took it on the highway proceeding to drive it home and within one second of getting on the highway the car once it hits 60 mph it bucked so hard and it jolted us. I then called who I believed was.Shahzeb but we’re now learning through our investigations on Facebook and everything that I believe we did not get the name of the guy that sold us the car but Shahzeb is his twin brother. So upon speaking to him, I told him listen we can’t afford to spend $3000 on a car with the transmission already almost gone and he said well you’re not Mechanics and I said absolutely right. I’m not a mechanic and he said well, if you take it to a mechanic and the mechanic confirms that it is a transmission I will give you back your money. So we drove five minutes from his place of business to a mechanic shop and we had a mechanic named RJ drive the vehicle and tell us whether it is a transmission problem or not. While RJ was driving the car he mentioned it is definitely the transmission and it’s on its way out. He told me I don’t have a crystal ball, but I would not suggest you driving this for too long. And I mentioned to him while we live in Glastonbury will it even make it there and he said no. I then asked them could the problem be why the car is bucking is because They mentioned that they put in premium gas we filled it up with 87 just regular could that cause this bucking? The mechanic RJ said no. I then asked him in your professional opinion. Is the Transmission gone gone? He said yes. And I said us driving it just this 30 minutes. Could it have done this to the Transmission? He said no This Transmission’s been going for a while and now you don’t know when it’s going completely just leave you stranded. So I called Shahzeb back and told him we had a mechanic look at it. That’s right around the corner from your business and he told us the transmission is definitely bad so we would appreciate to get our money back. Will give you back the title. The transaction literally happened 30 minutes ago so we were not too concerned that he wasn’t gonna give us back our money but then he said he is not giving back our money. I told him no we’re not willing to take this car for $3000 and the transmission is already gone. He said well come back tomorrow morning and maybe I’ll be there and we can talk. And I said well I’d like to meet you today because I’m not willing to drive this car and then have the transmission break and then you bought it you own it kind of thing. So I told him no we’re not willing to drive the car. We’re gonna drive it back to your business and we would appreciate you giving us back our money since the transaction only happened 30 minutes ago. Upon arriving back we met with his dad and his dad and I have this recorded his dad said yes come tomorrow morning because you know he’s out meeting someone and he won’t be back till later tonight and he’ll give you your money back tomorrow when you come. And I told him no we’re not taking that car and he goes no leave the car and I said so we leave the car with you with the title and no money I said no we’re not doing that either. So I said please tell your son to get here and just give us back our money. I believe they called the cops so two officers showed up and they actually said this is awful what they’re doing to you. So they offered us to give them back the car and they will give us $1500 back. And I said and you’re keeping $1500 for what oh because now we can’t sell the car. And I said absolutely not you’re not keeping $1500 in the car so we just lose $1500 and walk away with nothing? He said yeah that’s the best we can do. And this was the guy that we bought the car from and then his brother that I guess is the one that we found on Facebook and and that’s Shahzeb actually said OK will give you back $2000 but you’ll have to sign a paper right now saying you won’t sue us for the other thousand? My daughter-in-law was in such duress and crying and a mess that she signed that paper because she was wanting to get at least $2000 of her money back. But I continue telling them how can you guys keep $1000 for nothing!? So we gotta lose $1000 because you’re you’re trying to sell us a lemon? The cops agreed with us and said my daughter-in-law should not have signed that paper but because she was under SUCH DURESS AND ANXIETY and she didn’t wanna lose the whole $3000 she signed. I believe they are scam artists and they possibly have done this to many other people. They are now threatening me with a $50,000 lawsuit for defamation because I have been posting it on social media that to be aware of them and don’t buy a car from them and I explained exactly what happened to my daughter-in-law so there is no defamation. I have everything recorded on video even with the cops there and everything and Shahzeb and his brother actually bragged that they had on a $12,000 bracelet and a $25,000 watch and they said that money is no object for them and they’re not concerned about money. i’m very sad that this happened. I’m very sad that we got scammed but I am praying that someone can help us get our thousand dollars back.

A company called ecowave home comfort cold called my elderly mother (96 years of age). A "sales" representative came to her home where she lives alone. My mother was convinced to purchase a new water heater. Payment in full was suggested ( prior to installation) . My mother wrote a cheque to this company for $7500.00. The invoice has no taxes included, no mention of model #, no warranty/ gaurantee information. My sister and I wrote an email to ecowave stating we wanted to cancel the contract, cancel the installation and cancel her cheque. We did receive a call back saying it was all taken care of. Someone did bring back her cheque. Representative lied to my mother. Claimed her tank was over 10 years old, they work with the company my mother rents her water tank with (Reliance), work with the gas company that sends her information to a call center which is where they got her contact information. My mothers tank is 9 years old. I spoke with reliance who do not know this company and do not partner with them. I have not been able to speak to anyone at ecowave. I cannot say with certainty that this was a scam. I do not know if a water tank would have been installed by ecowave. But I do know they have unethical business practices. A senior should not be advised to purchase a water heater, that will not be maintained and will be an expense. Full payment should not be asked for before delivery and installation.

I received a package last Friday that I didn’t order and from an address I do not know. I the package had a built-in bra tank top that happens to be near my size. The packaging had a QR code on it (that I covered in the picture). I believe this to be a brushing scam and I’m just wondering how they got my information.

I was scammed out of $53.85 as I ordered 24 pack shorts and multi pack tank tops.Never recieved merchandise from Bonakai.

I got a call from someone claiming to be with the California energy commission. They said they would send someone over to see if I qualify for a discount on energy efficient upgrades. They claim I qualified for $10,000 off the price. But they submitted it while they were here and got the answer in 20 minutes. Not likely for a state department to respond that quickly. Then they said the work would cost me $29,000 . These guys were supposedly with GTECH smart remodeling, which I don’t even think operates in Alameda. This was for a tankless water heater and furnace but on the company website it does not even mention those types of upgrades. I signed a waiver saying I would not cancel and they immediately cashed my down payment check of $1000.

John McNeely scammed my boyfriend and I out of several thousand dollars worth of valuable assets and a home.

Ad said $39.99 for Keto gummies. Pictured Kelly Clarkson and Shark Tank as promoters of weight loss gummies. Once submitted, said total was $239.94. Called immediately to cancel order. Said I would receive refund, but never did. Nor did I receive gummies.

They were selling through Instagram, Jim, shark appeal, and it stated that they were on sale. I purchased it through Sezzle and it stated that it will be arriving soon through UPS but then I got an email stating that it was coming from United States Postal Service and it was from China and I saw that they were different names for the company that I emailed was DNOKM and when Sezzle took the payment, the company’s name was V LOOKS OGDOLIKE. I am still paying for it and I’m trying to contact the company, but there’s no reply and I am paying Sezzle for something I never received because it was fraud.

On July 27, 2025 I ordered 4 Compression tank tops through A company I had seen advertised on social media. The name of said company is SHAPERLUV tm. I ordered four Large tanks. two black tanks and two white tanks. What was delivered to me on August 2, 2025 were Three Black tanks sized MEDIUM. And one pair of size medium compression shorts Black. After getting through to there customer support via email to get a return label so I could return the totally wrong items. I have reached nothing but basically dead ends and run arounds from there customer support people. I was asked to send pictures of said items, which I complied and sent pictures. Next they asked if I wanted to receive like a 50% refund and I get to keep the ( WRONG ) ITEMS and I can forgo the hassle of returns. I denied and asked for return label, again for a second time. Next they email back and ask if I want a 70% refund and etc etc. same thing they tried to sell me in the prior emails. I denied , Again asking for return labels. The next email I received is can I fill out a brief survey first and then they can get me return labels. Again I complied with what they asked of me, they wanted me to respond back letting them know the survey was completed. Which again I complied. Then I start receiving more emails that keep asking to fill out the survey. I don't know or understand why they are playing these games. I am at a loss for words and dont know whats left for me to do. I am ready to just say the heck with it and swallow the $57.00 I spent on wrong items. But part of me says NO! I want my money back and want people to know this company is trash!

Business claimed to be doing driveway sealcoating in the area and offered a discount. They were in a red truck with a tank of sealcoating liquid and their business decal that displayed their name, phone number and the BBB logo among other things. They verbally promised a 4 year warranty on the work. After they finished doing the work, we noticed that the results were poor, including sealcoat splashes all over our siding and bare spots. They promised they would come back and touch it up later, after the first coat had cured. They never did and have been dodging calls, making false promises for months. They also gave information to others saying they were Massachusetts Professional Sealcoating, and were located at 571 Main Street Waltham, MA. The business card I was given also gave another phone number of 401-919-4774, saying Pro Sealcoating & Paving with the name Cameron on it.

Advertised as Target stores pay shipping only and receive a Shark vacuum cleaner for leaving a review about Target and also needed address and name. Gave credit card for shipping charges of $9.99. And then relized it had nothing to do with Target. You wind up signing up for a subscription for a $122.00 a month for some kind of editing and crap. Tried to call the number on the add but it wasn't them. Finnally after digging a little deeper. The Phone number is 1-513-270-1792. SCAMMERS look out.

8/9/25: Driveway sealed by Johnny Wells of Superior asphalt. Says he laid the asphalt for our driveway 3 years ago, although I later discovered that the company name was Williams Paving then. Would not give me an estimate, but after doing it, he wanted over $5000. I refused to pay it. We finally compromised on $3500, but I think I was had. He said the sealant (GSB-88) is good for 15 years and he said he would give me a written warranty, but he left without giving me one. I could not find an estimated price online for GSB-88, but the product was estimated to last about 5 years. Could not find the company or his name listed. There was an entry on BBB for a Johnny Wells Paving that said he is not approved by BBB in the Tyler area. I tried to call him at the number he left to notify him that I was stopping payment on the check, but the number was not in service. I stopped payment on the check on the same day because he was evasive about the cost and had declined to give me and estimate, didn't give the guarantee he promised, falsely presented himself as someone with whom I had a prior business relationship, and may have misrepresented his name and company to gain my trust. For all I know, he may have just spray painted my driveway black. I worry what will happen to my yard the next time it rains. There were three men in the large (one ton?) red pickup with diesel engine, crew cab and dually rear wheels. There was a spray tank and hose in the bed, and he used the hose to spray the driveway. The process took about 20 minutes total. He said we could use the driveway in an hour, but after 3 hours, it was sticky and marked our shoes.

This company is claiming to be backed/supported by all members of the SHARK TEAM to reduce blood sugar! This is a fraudulent scam and when you try to cancel or get a refund they will only refund 30% of your purchase! Be forewarned!

this was a refund sent by worthless checks with no adequate funds in bank acount

I ordered two shirts from their website. They never were delivered. They do not have a phone number. Their support email returns back with cannot send to this address message. No product and money was taken out of my credit card.

On July 26, 2025, roughtly about 12:30 PM, "Decklan" (see description below*) rang my doorbell saying that he could discern from the street that my roof was compromised and that he could take pictures of it for me and provide a quote. He showed me pictures w/ what he maintained was a racoon invasion. Long story short, this turned into intimidation tactics of maintaining that I was signing a contract to the tune of $4600.00 CAD as his guys, BTW, were working on the roof as we spoke. After telling him repeatedly that 1) I always seek two other quotes, 2) that I would need to negotiate funding with my credit union, 3) and no, that he could not expect immediate payment, & finally, 4) nor I did care if it were about to storm, I demanded to write an addendum on both copies of the "contract" (his included--I had to insist on it), which caused him to tear it up, attempting to guilt me by saying: "This is what I get for trying to help people." I told him I was unmoved. He also snatched his flyer away with him--Did he really think I would forget "ACORN Roofing?" I then found one of his buddies with a long ladder in my backyard, whom I also ushered out. Following the event, a friendly shopkeeper informed me of the rash of roof scammers in Toronto. Indeed, online, YELP showed reports of the same scenario with ACORN ROOFING, and mentioned *fake photos.* Therefore, for peace of mind, I hired a trusted 3rd party: White Shark, who corroborated that the roof was pristine save for a small patch about 9 inches square that was suspicious because it did not appear to be due to annimal behaviour. The truly telling thing was that I had hired White Shark to do a small gutter tightening on May 06, 2025, when another shyster tried to "make work." Sweetening the investigative deal for White Shark with some light roof work, to make this happen, it was still an unplanned expense. And, I have been robbed of a month in the complicated attempt to make a police report. I have since received confirmation of my initial report to the Toronto Police, as well as of my additional report consisting of a PPTX with a timeline and photographic proof obtained with the assistance of White Shark. *The Scammer: "Decklan" of Acorn Roofing is a White endomorph just under 6'-0", with fair eyes & short chestnut hair, wore a T-shirt, work shorts & a baseball cap. He claimed to be originally from St. Johns, living in Toronto for 17 years, and a father of two girls. They appeared to be about 8 years of age in the photo on his phone. He has a piercing gaze, with a manner that alternates from forced charm to pushiness. His gait is lumbering.

Constant harassing phone calls, one to two times every single day for months. Uses a spam labeled robo dialer to call, different number each time but they put the same callback number on voicemail. Will not take you off their list when you ask. Clearly looking to either get private information or set up some kind of loan shark situation.

I purchased a 3 pack of tank tops, waited several weeks for the order. It arrived with only 1 tank top that was unwearable and made defective.

scammers post on Facebook to take a survey then get a FREE shark vacuum just pay for shipping. Once they get your credit card number they try to charge you again. In my case another $78.00 without my authorization or card present. Total scam.

Name and home address. As an elderly person my Mom is terrified of being staked or taken advantage of. This company sends threatening letters that say failure to respond you will loose coverage. your going to loose your home warranty if you don't respond by calling Vicky Mercer program director and list a phone number In tiny small print it's says it's to this is coverage for AC, Refrigerator, Hot water tank, furnace appliances and "other". There is no address but it list operating hours and a phone number of 1 888 404-4504. I called as I'm checking my Moms mail. They started arguing about the letter with me. Imagine a senior who is unsure about the letter getting sucked into the scam. The letter was never requested by my Mom just a random scar tactic

Ordered a 100 lb gas tank from easygomart. Com on June 9 2025. The invoice came back from widistore.com. The next email stated they said it was authorized to take a payment from PayPal but I do not have a PayPal account. Paid to a Delores Vega. Listed a transaction number. Next email after thanking him for an order came and said if he had not received said "oops looks like you left something behind in your cart)" which was not true. It stated that we could get 20% off if we clicked on complete your purchase. Have the order number 40166. He did not respond. He did not click on the link. That was the last contact on June 12. Sent an email. A week ago to widistore. Com never heard from them. Sent another no response.

I ordered a dress from this company adult size small when the dress arrived it clearly was sized to fit a child. Laid it flat on my bed next to an Athleta tank top size small and they were the same length. I’ve attempted to reach out to this company and they started off by offering me one dollar then two dollars and now it’s up to six dollars in refund for the $34.88 I spent. They believe their offer is in good faith as they believe they fulfilled their obligation of my order even though I’ve sent photographs and told them that the product was grossly misrepresented. Buyer Beware!

I placed an order for two pairs of shark slides and one for shark rain boots for my son and nephew on 6/20/25. I never received the order, tracking number or a follow up email/text with confirmation my order shipped. On 7/7/25 I attempted to contact ComfySharks and could only send a message via their website. I was unable to email them directly and there is no customer service phone number available. I contacted my bank for refund and to have them investigate. Bank refunded me. This site is similar to the Cloud Sharks (which is legitimate) but it is a scam. Do not order anything through ComfySharks.

This is a very important message for Shelly Tanks. Shelly, This is Todd Bowen over in the process department in pre-legal investigation services. Your case was just transferred over to my department's attention for immediate review attached on this case if you have your full name address and social ending in 2237 to be submitted over to Culpepper County municipal court matter is time sensitive, and it does require your immediate attention. You wish to handle this matter privately voluntarily outside of that process. I need to get a return call from you understand that you just had kind of a rough conversation there on a reference to this legal complaint. Call me back directly. My number is 470-632-5509. …”

Ordered a one tanktop it’s been almost 2 months still haven’t received it said it was going to be shipped in 2-4 weeks and it’s been way longer than that. Got scammed out of my money. Their customer service never reaches out after I’ve reached out multiple time's. Company is taking people’s money and committing fraud.

Saw an ad on I******** for this company - that they were sending out tank tops free of charge, just pay shipping. Ordered from the SHOP app so felt confident it was okay. Placed order on 06/03/25. Reached out on 06/13/25 for a status update and was told that they had run out of stock, but they were restocking and it should arrive no later than 06/20/25. Waited until 07/02/25 to reach out again to now be told that their “storefront had been unexpectedly shut down” causing them to “lose access to order and payment systems”. Claimed they were restocking again and offered to “reship” my order. Shop app shows that it never left “preparing shipment” phase and clicking on their business now says “products unavailable, visit shop website”. Their website was down last night but has resurfaced today with new items for $0 and the same “just pay shipping” jargon. I requested that the money be returned by PayPal or Venmo as I was tired of the runaround and didn’t feel it was right for me to go through extra trouble getting my money back when the error is not on my part. They continue to allege they have no access to order or payment systems and that it has to be requested from bank. Do NOT waste your time.

I ordered a $62 necklace and over a month later I received a tank top instead. The company claims they are from California but my item came from China. They gave me a $20 credit and also credited my $62 so I use the $20 to order another necklace that I still never received a month later. I contacted the company and they sent me a replacement and that I’ve still yet to receive. I find it difficult to believe that these are all coincidences and I’m not sure what the company is doing but they have a ton of positive reviews. And pretend that they are from California. I think they are a scam.

From an online forum, “ They reel you in with roles like biz development trainee, account manager, client service consultant, telling you that you can work from the bottom and keep getting promoted from trainee to account manger, to executive manager. They will have you go door to door convincing infinity customers to switch to fiber optics. If you want details: First interview is a group zoom, with the hiring manager basically asking candidates questions about your background, leadership, and motivation. Then they give you a call to let you know you've moved on to the second round (i saw at least half of the candidates in the first round interview in person at their location in Houston). Second round, I was waiting an hour after my interview time for them to call me in, while they interviewed other candidates. They also completed their third interviews before getting to me. When I finally was called up, their account manager interviewed me about background and gave me a whole spiel about their origins how they came from dallas and wanna expand to all 50 states, and how they've had huge contracts with shark tank, texas rangers, and now fortune 500 companies. Biggg giveaway how they're naming their clients. I ask what does the day to day to look like? She said that will be revealed in the third interview. Like you WORK here what do you mean you don't know? She also made it clear that not everyone moves into the third round. but i saw everyone else in that waiting room called in for the third interview, and of course so was i. Third interview was by another account manager, he was quite unprofessional in my opinion compared to other companies. Very laid back and he began to describe the schedule and responsibilities. The team is in office from 10-1, then they leave office and go into the field from 1-7.….. to sell FIBER OPTICS!!! I then proceeded to ask a bunch of questions that threw him off, and he ended up saying that to become executive manager, it takes 9 months and you don't go into the field anymore. So EVERYONE has to start by doing the grunt work and work their way up. Immediately I told him the job description is very misleading. He asked how so and l responded that there was nothing in the JD that included door to door selling.“ I had experienced the same exact situation in the zoom “interview” with the company. The whole thing made me feel off about the job, I was told the same thing about moving onto a manager position in under a year, and how good the pay is. And how it’s like a family and how they deal with shark tank and Fortune 500 companies. The companies online address does not match with the address I was given by text for the “second interview” and the only reviews they have received are 5 star ones.

video ad on my Facebook Feed claiming to be HSN and it looks very legit. Lori Greiner from Shark Tank is on a video in the HSN studios promoting a new carryon back for travel. It is not a deep fake it really is Lori showing the product on the HSN set. I tapped the BUY button and paid for two bags and express shipping. the purchase steps all look legit. I received a confirmation email too but it was from some outfit called Bikobabybus, I never got the bags and emailed them at [email protected], got an AI-generated response they are looking into it... I looked them up on google and see they are being called a big scam company out of China that Ms. Greiner is aware of using her image and videos. These scammers are getting really good at fooling folks on legitimate sites using real promotional videos they apparently stole.

I was on facebook and saw an ad for sand cloud beach towel sale for Shark Week. The site had the sand cloud logo, a lock showing it was secure and all the exact same photos on the main website including the shark week sale banner ribbon. The towels were discounted. I ordered and paid via credit card. I contacted the real sand cloud and they were not very helpful. I also contacted my credit card company and got a new credit card. The charge did not post yet so I have to call back to dispute.

Ordered a fuel tank from a link on Social Medial Site "TicTok" Paid with Visa Debit card and haven't received product.
