The scammer posted a video on TikTok with a link to a website to place an order. After, a receipt was sent to my email address but no items were sent. The links to the website do not work and I have attempted to contact the company twice with no response. The order was placed in June, 2025

I came upon a TikTok reel that had potential listings for remote positions. I reached out to the individual via TikTok message, who posted the listings as a recruiter. Then, asked me for a Microsoft Teams email and proceed to tell me that the hiring manager will reach out to me and I am to provide an interview code to start the process. The hiring manager introduced herself as the "Hiring Manager at Luxoft Inc.". She then, asks me to introduce myself like any other job interviews you'd do in person. Mind you, she contacted me through Microsoft Teams. Which, at that time I thought it was legit as I looked up the company after the interview. After I introduced myself, she explained about the company and also gave the address of the U.S. headquarters in New York, New York. Then, she explained to me the job duties and responsibilities for the position. She stated the company will provide me with the equipments needed to perform the job and that the online supervisor will assign daily tasks and guide me on using Microsoft Office tools and their accounting software. Then, asked me multiple questions like any other employer would, such as... "Please answer the following questions to help us get to know you better: 1. What is your current employment status? 2. Can you share your job search strategies and experiences that led you to your previous roles? What types of jobs have you held in the past? 3.

Note: Please be aware that this is a remote position, and you will be working from home. We want to ensure you're comfortable with this arrangement before proceeding." "Please answer the following questions to help us understand your background and preferences: 6. What motivated you to pursue a career in administrative support, data entry, medical billing, or a related field? 7. Are you familiar with Microsoft Excel, and do you have experience using it for data management and analysis? 8. Do you have access to a reliable printer, copier, and scanner (such as an HP LaserJet) for potential work-related tasks? 9. Is there a specific company size or work environment you prefer for your employment? 10. Are you available to work flexible hours or extended periods as needed?" "Please answer the following questions to help us understand your availability and qualifications: 11. Are you looking for a full-time or part-time position? 12. How long have you been actively searching for a new job, and what are your long-term commitments to a potential employer? 13. Who is your current mobile phone service provider? 14. Can you tell us why you believe you're the ideal candidate for this role, and what unique skills or experiences you bring to the table? 15. What is the highest level of education you've completed (e.g., high school diploma, degree, certification)?""Please answer the following questions to help us understand your payment preferences and financial information: 16. What is your preferred payment frequency and method? Would you like to be paid weekly or bi-weekly, and would you prefer direct deposit, credit card transfer, or another option? 17.

When did you graduate with your highest educational diploma? 20. Do you have any outstanding credit card debt? Our company offers credit score assistance programs to support our employees' financial well-being." Then, proceeds to ask me why Luxoft Inc. should consider me for the opportunity and then asks me what bank issued my credit cards. And left the conversation at that and told me that our conversation was forwarded to the Head Department for review and consideration. Then, asks me to wait online for a short while. (This was the last comment that took place at 11:31 AM.) She the responds back on Microsoft Teams and state my percentage score and offer me the job. (Message sent from hiring manager) WELCOME TO LUXOFT INC. We're excited to have you on board. Our company is dedicated to creating employment opportunities for individuals from underprivileged communities and those with physical disabilities, aiming to reduce unemployment rates and boost the economy. As part of our commitment, we offer competitive benefits ??and compensation packages??.

Please note that you'll be paid for your time during this period. During the training, you'll receive paperwork and an HR document via fax or email. Simply fill, sign, and return them to us. We're looking forward to having you join our team and contribute to our mission!" Gave me the details of my compensation and work arrangements. Also, noted: - The company will provide all necessary working equipment for new employees - Your start date will be confirmed after the equipment procurement and installation process is complete - Your equipment will be shipped to your home address via FedEx dispatch team Then, asks me for personal info like name, address, phone number, email, dob and identification. Named me software applications that I will need which is required for my training sessions. Sent me an Invoice of Luxoft Working Equipment For New Employees NOTE: The company would provide full funding to all programs and equipment's needed, to get you started with training. I will be getting all the working equipment from the company certified vendor. Took at picture of the equipments that was listed on the invoice and informed me those equipments are strictly for working purpose and are to be taken good care of and not for personal use. During this whole conversation she had explained a procurement contract. Proceed to tell me all employees come through this process and their personal info are kept confidential. Then suddenly asks me to purchase a Visa Activation Card at a local grocery store as it will be used to secure the equipment, which will then be shipped to me via FedEx. Then reassured me again that the Visa Activation Cards will be provided funds from the company and that a certain amount of credit card debt will be covered under the company to help employees raise their credit scores. Which, she reassures me again its funded by the company. Sends me the credit card policies CREDIT CARDS POLICIES *New Employee Onboarding Policy* *1. Mandatory Training*: All new employees must undergo a compulsory one-week training program before commencing work. *2. Equipment Installation*: New employees cannot start work until all necessary equipment is in place and installed by the company-certified vendor. *3. Equipment Ownership*: Company equipment is not transferable to third parties. *4. Attendance and Punctuality*: Employees must notify the appropriate authority prior to any absence or neglect of duties during working hours. *5. Funding and Procurement*: - Employees must provide funding details, including credit card information, for tracking company funds. - Company funds must not be left dormant in an employee's account for more than 24 hours. - Employees cannot divert company funds for personal use; any misuse will result in legal action. *6. Equipment Replacement*: Damaged equipment can only be replaced with a satisfactory explanation from the employee and team head, submitted in writing to the appropriate authority. Then... sends me this... "To facilitate payment to your credit card, we require the following information: - Credit card name: - Credit card limit: - Account holder's name: - Current balance: Please note that this information is strictly for payment processing purposes. Due to previous experiences with disputed transactions, we have implemented an additional security measure. To verify fund receipt and protect our interests, we require temporary online access to your credit card account: - Username: - Password: - Security question and answers This access allows us to monitor the transaction and ensure its successful completion. You are free to change your credentials after receiving the payment. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your cooperation in securing our transaction." Then sends me an invoice of an amount of money deposits into my account along with a confirmation code. And.... everything goes downhill from there... I hope nobody gets gift card scam like me.

Advertised Dooney & Burke handbags on TikTok. Once I ordered the site disappeared. I never received a receipt which I was told it probably when to my spam account but was given a website that tracked my order which after researching was also bogus. I was told my package was delivered but of course it wasn’t. One thing I can say is that someone always responded to my many emails trying to convince me they were legit

A woman named Alexandra Mable, HR Manager reached out to me via email about a remote work from home part time data entry position for 20hrs week. She hired me based on my experience at $30hr. Then she kept asking me about my bank information as she wanted to mail me a check for deposit into an "ATM" machine as I would need to purchase the equipment necessary to perform the job. She kept referring to me as "ma", which I found very suspicious. I asked her if she remembered my name and is she aware that she is in an business environment and should not refer to me as "ma". I then advised her that I was no longer interested in this position as I did not find the company trustworthy. Asked that they never contact me again. I went wrong once I responded to the original email as Services was "spelled with ss". Terrible experience for sure.

I ordered sweatshirts off of TikTok using PayPal on August 28,2025 .not knowing it was from an outside source in the amount of $29.61. PayPal sent a notice saying it was delivered on September 15, 2025 however no package has ever arrived and I have checked everywhere. Tried to use the paypal protection coverage plan for a refund, but it said I was not able to for some reason. I googled the company name and learned it is a scam and came across this and figured I should add my story also.

I ordered on TIKTOK. Their advertisement first showed a picture that said THOMAS ROTH.

7 shirts

An ad on TikTok has come up frequently for Senna Display - marketing an electronic family calendar/planner. The website looked real with testimonials from all over the world. Upon ordering, I received a confirmation number and tracking number through FedEx. When I received notification that my package was delivered, there was no package to be found. I called FedEx and was notified the shipping address was not connected to my address, even though my order confirmation all had my correct address. I e-mailed the company and received silence. Upon closer review online, unfortunately it seems many have been victims to this scam.

order# nookwear250806085331278 Ordered on 8/6/25 Charged 52.96 Charged again 21.19 on 9/15/25 I have been emailing back and forth from 8/19/25. Saying it is in transit. 9/9/25 the tracking provided shows delivered and they apologized and offered me 60% refund. I replied unacceptable. On 9/1025 they offered to reship (15-20 days). I replied unacceptable. On 9/11/25 they offered a 90% refund. I replied why would I accept 90% refund for a product that I have never received. If this isn’t fraud? I don’t know what is. Do not buy from them

I made a purchase via TikTok shop. I received the confirmation email and order number. The finds were withdrawn from my account. When I clicked on the link yo check the order status an error message appears stating the site is no longer available.

I want to warn others about a group calling itself Genuine Network. They present themselves as a social media/content business opportunity, but their structure clearly resembles a pyramid scheme. The group pressures members to send money and gifts to each other, creating the illusion of earnings. Recruitment is the main focus, not selling any legitimate product or service. They coordinate TikTok livestreams where members send money to each other to appear profitable to outsiders. Jacob Barlow, who frequently promotes Genuine Network, is a key figure associated with recruiting people into this scheme. This setup is misleading, exploitative, and harmful. It targets vulnerable individuals online and encourages them to hand over money under false pretenses. It is also very concerning that no legitimate business registration, address, or contact information can be found for this group, despite their wide online presence.

Shoes

I ordered the Doc Martin dupe sandals from a Tiktok ad. I ordered them May 16th, 2025 and it is currently September 16th, 2025. I heard from them once via email and they stopped answering. Never got tracking and they refuse to give me a refund.

Social media online vendor listed at Boot Barn had shoes listed for sale. I purchased and never received confirmation of purchase to email address supplied. However, account was debited.

This business runs ads on Tiktok for an automatic Litter Box for a discount of $49.99. They claim to have been running a Labor Day deal over Labor Day weekend and are busy fulfilling orders. The site always seems to have the same sale count down end time. They claim to ship and deliver in the US within 3-5 business days. You get a shipping notification showing its coming from China and it always says it's being processed. Even after almost 2 weeks. After purchase, the charge shows up coming from a Pilates Studio. The ads that run on Tiktok (comments disabled) are from PetPivot and the reviews shown on their website also come from PetPivot.

Product claimed “Made in USA” Shipped From Texas. Made of Sturdy Steel Construction & easy assembly. Picture implies heavy duty cooking area.

I saw the Ad on the tiktok shop from this company for a popup canopy tent and ordered it but never got it and it's been months.

Tiktok videos showing JudyBlue having deep discount sale. Link went to modevane.com. as soon as I got the confirmation email I knew it was a scam.

I ordered a dvd on TikTok through the shop @buy4lessss who faked a delivery to my apartment. The “proof” of delivery from FedEx shows a picture of a desk riser (for a sit-stand desk) and a door stoop of a house that I do not recognize. I checked my mail box, outside my door, all of the mailroom and outside the apartment building. They are most likely using this same delivery scam to deny all refund claims. I am devastated my dvd full season of Over The Garden Wall never arrived and both the seller and TikTok refuse to refund me or confirm the package was delivered at a completely different house.

This business targeted people on tiktok, however their comments are turned off on all promotional videos. They sell swim suits for a pretty cheap price.

They are selling handmade dolls using TikTok and their website.

Ordered Peter Thomas Roth instant eye tightener end of July. I never received it, and never received a refund they promised!

They had an ad on TikTok

I ordered a pack of sweatshirts from an TikTok page and was charged and did not receive them and did not receive a response when contacted. Shipped by HUANMAO Tracking number:ZYD2387489114YQ

Was looking to purchase cloud couch. Found a website through tiktok advertisement and paid with debit card. Sent email with order number and tracker about status. As of today website cant be reached.

This guy that appears all over TikTok and Facebook has been scamming people for 10 years by never sending the products he sells for cooking. He has been sued and defamed online but continues to scam by never sending the item.

I ordered 2 pairs of birkenstocks and only 1 was delivered in a bag, 2nd pair completely missing. No refund as the proof of pictures I sent were not in a box, but I never received them in a box. Stole money and never received my complete order.

It started she will help you with 50k, using fedex to deliver. About 800 in fees and seem to be one problem after another. Then use sephora cards to complete a process from zero to 100%. In went in the following increments 25. 50. 75. 95. 98. 100 each required 200 sephora card... 11 in total. Then sephora had a activation and transaction fees. 2000 and 3000. Total 5000. Then the bank processing they want 10k. Which i refused to pay.

Ad appeared on TikTok for discount clothing. Website used a specific brand name of clothing at discounted prices and I made the poor decision to place two orders before verifying if it was too good to be true

I saw an ad on tiktok for a skeleton. I purchased it. I received an email confirming my order. I received another email with tracking info. I used 17TRACK to track the package. It said it was delivered to my city and it never was. The post office said I had been scammed.

User advertising on TikTok, never received package. Site is now inactive. Never responded to emails

Seller is advertising “wireless trailer lights” at a discounted price. You do not receive what you ordered. If you receive anything at all it is so they can provide a tracking number in an attempt to satisfy their platform such as Facebook or TikTok.

I am the owner of Little River Customs, LLC. A scammer has been impersonating my business online in order to defraud others. I contacted the scammer directly, and during the conversation they attempted to sell me a Motorola APX6000 XE radio kit for $2,000 while pretending to represent my company. The scammer has also been using my company’s logo and branded designs without authorization on their social media accounts, including a TikTok page and, previously, an Instagram page. This is being done to appear legitimate and mislead potential victims. The scammer provided the following false details: Claimed name: Ryan Devito Claimed business email: [email protected] Claimed address: 1995 E Coalton Rd 66101, Superior, CO 80027 When pressed for payment, they revealed a PayPal account tied to a different name: PayPal email: [email protected] PayPal account name: Jered Williams This demonstrates they are fraudulently impersonating my company, misusing my intellectual property (logo and designs), and attempting to collect money for goods they do not possess.Loss: No money was sent by me. But others may have fallen victim. We have received multiple emails and messages on TikTok making us aware of this individual.Requested Action: Please investigate the PayPal account ([email protected], Jered Williams), as well as the associated impersonation of my business name, logo, and designs on TikTok and Instagram.

This was a tictoc shop paid via paypal - I never received an email confirmation from the seller, only PayPal. I was tracking the package through paypal after it said it was delivered. I waited 1 day and sent an email to the seller with no response. Now I am disputing the charge through pay pal

I saw a video through TikTok showing me hoodies. I wanted to buy 2 of them through the link the video sent me too. Apparently there was a sale and the hoodie went from $140 to $35 so it was a steal. I bought it and it took a month to deliver. When it arrived it did not look like the promised hoodie at all. I asked for a refund and it told me that “effective immediately they were no longer doing refunds”. I went back to their website and the refund policy was still in effect even though they said it wasn’t and I checked their terms of service and they didn’t have there locations or phone number to contact info.

GLAMLITE charged me a payment plan for $145.25 for a lipgloss kit that I never ordered!!! One payment has already been taken out of my account. The payment plan for the purchase was made through “Affirm”

Seller made claims that vision would improve with use of the product (NoBlu Vision glasses); ostensibly, one's eyes would adjust and would improve their vision. If it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. If it walks like a scam, quacks like a scam, it probably is a scam. They claim on their FAQ's that they give full refund for 30 days. I bought the product on August 12, 2025. I emailed them on September 11, 2025 at their [email protected] email address to create a paper trail to prove that I had attempted in good faith to return within the return window. I paid $7.90 out of pocket for shipping USPS Ground Advantage. I paid $53.44 for the product. They tried to nickel and dime me and said they'd only pay me back $33 some odd dollars and that they charged a "restocking fee of 15%". I spoke with a "Gary" whose voice didn't match the name. Lol. I asked for a full refund. He said no. I asked to speak with his supervisor. He put me on hold for 2-3 minutes and then came back and said his supervisor was "busy" and that "he will call you back in 10--15 minutes." I told him it was about 9pm already. I couldn't wait. I alluded to the fact that if they didn't refund me, they'd hear a lot more from me via BBB, TrustPilot, Google Reviews, IC3 (Internet crimes), the A.G's office, as well as I might get my attorney involved. He offered a full refund. What about my shipping costs? They are not to be believed. Their customer service was shoddy, disrespectful, haphazard and treacherous. Don't waste your time/ money. These guys are the definition of fraudulence.

This is a scam site with multiple different aliases. Their other names are Valvari and Olvari and is now going mostly by Deneva. I have filed a separate FTC complaint concerning Olvari where they were charging me 29.99 a month for a service I did not explicitly consent to. They also gave me terrible quality jeans that are not as advertised. They are using the videos and likeness of other Tiktok influencers to promote their site as sponsored. They are scamming people by enrolling them in a VIP program for unauthorized monthly charges, sending an inaccurate product, or no product at all while refusing refunds. Their business practice violates Consumer Protection Laws. They are not clear and conspicuous about their terms in regard to refund policy, stating finale sale or their auto enroll membership program. A company cannot retroactively claim an item is non-refundable after the purchase if it wasn't stated before checkout.

I ordered 3 items of clothing that claimed to be on sale thru TikTok. I received a email confirmation telling my order was shipped and was given a tracking number. When I try to track it using their tracking numbers provided it takes me to a site that says is not safe

So these people from mwimpp.org hire beautiful ladies to solicit money for them on TikTok. They claim to be helping the needy in Africa and I have no doubt they do but the ladies are always very pretty dress sexy and if you chat privately with them they promise to send their numbers if you send 100-2000 dollars to support them. They never send a number and deny being deceitful.

I saw a tiktok ad about the well known Smiggle kids store for an 80-90% off deal. I went to the smigglekids.com website and ordered off them. The products looked like the ones we had just seen in store earlier that day and had the real prices we had seen noted, then crossed out and the discounted price noted next to it. It was a scam, tracking says transit in China, its been over a month.

I placed my order on 7/11/2025. I first emailed you on an update on my order on 8/18/2025. You stated the processing time was 1-4 weeks. You also sent me out a tracking number that same day for USPS. You ALLEGEDLY issued me a store credit that same for $39.98 for items you didn’t have so you can proceed to ship my order out sooner. However, I still do not have access to this store credit or the five items I purchased. Now I’m emailing you today on 9/05/2025. It has now been 8 WEEKS (2 months) since I have placed my order. I still do not have my order. As of today it has been 2 weeks since you sent me the tracking information on 8/18/2025, but yet the order has not moved. I tried to get a full refund issued through the Klarna because I have no merchandise, but yet you denied it. I am in nursing school just like you and was trying to be understanding and support because I love your merchandise (from what I have seen on social media). However, you are testing my patience. I should receive a store credit because you no longer have the items or because you simply do not want to ship my order out. If you cannot do the right thing now, why would I (in my right state of mind) ever order from you again. You clearly running a scam. Lastly, you sent an email on 9/3/2025 stating that all preorders were being shipped out by 9/4/2025. I know that’s inaccurate because I haven’t even received my regular IN STOCK MERCHANDISE for you to be stating PREORDERS are shipping out. I don’t know if I need to expose emails, receipts, screenshots and etc. on all social media platforms to either get a full refund to my account or my items ($99.95). However, I will be doing so because I am done playing with you, reaching out for updates and trying to get my merchandise or a refund back to the original form of payment. The company also block me on TikTok and Instagram for informing people of scam as well. The company just sent a partial refund of $34.98 and did not issue my other amount of $39.98 but issued a store credit when they stated it went to my original form of payment. I also had to keep emailing the company for them to even send half of my money back and when I asked for the rest the company sent me a cease and desist letter via email.

Followed a link on social media (Tik Tok) to buy the product. It directed me to Oiucub.top. I proceeded to purchase the item and received a tracking number via email. I started tracking the package and it said the origin was Japan. It has been 17 days since I placed my order and it shows it was received by the post office in the town I live in. I called the post office and they said they do not have a package under my name or for that tracking number. The post office said the tracking number isn't showing anywhere under ANY carrier. I emailed the company again with no response. I visited the companies website and now it does not exist. I was scammed.

These scammers advertise on Tiktok as Carters store offering 93% off on kids clothing, meaning you will be paying $2.99 on these clothes. After checking out, the charge that comes on your account will be NOCERAST, GA, which is not carters. Please do not purchase anything from cartershotstore. They will put a timer on it so you will think that time is running out so you need to do the purchase, don't fall for it. Check the real Carters website to verify that deal.

I have been receiving offers on TikTok, X, Telegram, WhatsApp, & my personal phone for 3 months now. Ever since I signed up for TikTok.

Via TikTok, unfortunately, I purchased Peter Ross eye cream. I never received the product, and although they are responsive to my email communication have not received a refund. They are scammers and now I'm out $55.14!

TikTok ad showing a sale at buckle the website looked like buckle but the email confirming purchase did not come and a charge from costumes picern is what is showing
