There was a contract made with Mark Pentecost about repairing the siding on my garage where it was struck by a driver without insurance coverage. On 4/4/25, I gave him a check for $200.00 to purchase the needed material. For several months he communicated to me that the siding was wrong/had not come/arrived, and he was busy with other work. He cashed the check the same day I wrote it. I have telephoned him throughout the past 8 months and his voicemail was not set up, texted him multiple times with little to no response. This exploitation extends to my daughter who gave you $1,000 cash to repair a place on her roof an damage to some siding. I am reporting this to hopefully prevent this from happening to others.

I texted to cancel a few days later because I no longer needed service and the texts seemed really odd like I was talking to a computer or something. Then I did some digging and found the real company had a different number than the one listed on the Google search .

I placed an order with a company that identified themselves as JCPenney. They advertised a flash sale of 70-80% off. My total order was $35.88. I received a confirmation email on April 15th 2025 with tracking number DDGYL22177551YQ. On May 16th I reached out to the company at [email protected] with my tracking number and advised I received an email stating the package was delivered. I disputed this repeatedly with them that I never received the package and even told them I have a ring camera that would have alerted med of a delivery. My neighbors also have cameras that point towards my home, and I asked them to check their cameras...no delivery on the date and time this company stated my package was delivered. I then asked the company for the carrier's name who delivered the package so I could backtrack for myself, and I was advised they couldn't release that information. However, they offered to resend the package which I agreed to. Again, no delivery. I then asked for a refund, and was told they could only refund me a percentage. I did not agree to that and asked for a full refund, which they then agreed to once they file a claim with their insurance company. The refund never took place, they kept making excuses that it was the bank delaying the refund, not them. I didn't believe them, and this dispute went on for several months. My last email to them was on October 1, 2025, and I asked for the following information: 1. The name of the person in charge at your company who is overseeing this refund, and a phone number. 2. The name and contact information of your delivery company that was supposed to deliver my merchandise. 3. The name and contact information of your insurance company. I never received the information I requested, but they did respond back to say this issue will be resolved in 24 hours. I'm still waiting for this so-called resolution.

Reached out by email to someone at a company online about Russian Blue kittens for adoption. They responded with this email: I appreciate you reaching out to us. We regret to inform you that every kitten we currently have is reserved. I can put you in touch with the breeder who provided us with our parent cats if you're serious about getting a kitten. When you see his babies, you will most likely smile. He's a fantastic breeder and ships to almost all states. You can reach him at ****@gmail.com His name is **** I've attached the pictures he sent of the available kittens. When you reach him, tell him ****'s wife, ****, from ****, NC, directed you. He said the adoption fee is now $550. Let him know you want a kitten in your home as a pet, not for breeding. Best of luck, **** Then I received this response from the “breeder” after reaching out to them: Hi **** Thank you for getting in touch with us. Establishing a location where Russian Blue cat lovers can easily and safely adopt healthy kittens is our goal. The majority of people who have cat allergies do not react to Russian Blue cats because they are low on the allergy scale. We currently have three kittens up for adoption. A boy and two girls. Please review the attached photos and let me know which of the kittens catches your attention. Each kitten costs $550 to rehome, and two kittens cost $1050. Shipping will cost $200, meaning all you will be spending to get a kitten to your closest airport is $750. Home delivery will cost an extra $50. Let me know if you want home delivery. First and foremost, I want you to know why I am giving out the kittens and why their need for homes is so urgent. Our primary motivation for breeding these cats is not financial gain but rather our passion for the breed. We are offering a special price reduction since we need to find the kittens new, loving homes where they can receive the proper care because we are expecting our first kid in two weeks. We are located in **** ND. If you are unable to visit us for the kittens, we can make arrangements for delivery; depending on where you reside, we can ship the same day or the following day. Here are some questions we would like you to answer honestly. -Have you ever owned a cat? -Is there a veterinarian in your area? -When do you intend to bring the kitten home? Sincerely, **** We signed a contract, included our names and address. They said they’d give us an Apply Pay account, but gave us phone numbers for Apple Cash. When we looked for the company online we found a similar scam using an almost verbatim email template.

Phishing - Auto Warranty Scam

Received a final notice letter in the mail that the new vehicle service contract was not activated on the new car I purchased at the dealership & registered in the state of Indiana. I was told that the service warranty agreement from the dealership was never actually activated, and they were a third-party administrator for Subaru's warranties. I was pressured to provide my credit card for a one-time activation fee of $195 dollars and set up monthly payments of $128 to this fake 3rd party administrator. The fake service agent, Brad, told me that the dealership lied to me and my car never had any warranty active. I was further pressured to pay them immediately or I'd lose the special Black Friday discount on service. I did not provide my credit card to "Brad" from Guardian Protection, and I contacted the dealership I purchased the car from to confirm the service plan I purchased through Subaru. The dealership informed me that when you register your car in Indiana, certain information becomes public, including my address and the year/make/model of the car. Fraudulent companies use this information to try to sell fake service contracts and warranties.

They pretended to be apart of Hyundai dealership who I purchase my car with as a warranty company. However I never received a receipt, a welcome letter or any form of proof of the purchase or proof of the warranty. After I reached out to them yesterday demanding a refund and a cancellation of the plan or I will report them to the better BBB they sent over this letter late last night around 10pm.

Worthless Problem-solving Service

Found out it is a white car scam after the facr, said a job was cancelled and needed to sell the goods before heading back to orange county/LA. Bought a speaker, projector, and a screen. Even let me take pictures of their ID, i went to the website linked "https://newporthometheaters.com/" Called the person there and they said these guys were scammers using a similar name, maybe this guy is a part of the scam, or an unfortunate bystander.

Phishing - Imposter

I received a home-warranty solicitation in the mail that I believe is deliberately deceptive. The letter is formatted to look like an urgent official notice from an existing service provider. It uses language implying that my “coverage” is expiring, that I have an account with the company, and that I may be responsible for costs if I do not respond immediately. None of this is true. The letter instructs me to call 1-888-404-4504 and is signed “Vicki Mercer, Program Director.” The company name only appears in extremely fine print in the lower corner as “4Ever Home Warranty.” No other clear identification is provided. I have never done business with this company. The letter strongly implies I am an existing customer with a delinquent or expiring account, uses panic-inducing language (“final attempt,” “lapse in coverage,” “you may be liable”), and resembles official mail from a company like a mortgage or insurance provider. This appears intentionally misleading and could easily confuse or frighten vulnerable consumers, especially seniors.

There were a number of ads up on TikTock advertising a Squishmallows Advent Calendar including a number of people showing what they got, incredible deal, buy two get a third for free, $45 each. I checked out the company, reviews and it seemed legit. Squishmallows are very popular this year. Paid through Shop, so Wavecross does not have my credit card information. They have my email, home address and cell number. They used a tracking company called 17Track, showing the package leaving China, taking a full month to get to Canada. The day of delivery nothing received. Now the company has ghosted me. I’ve messaged the company numerous times, I’ve attempted to get ahold of the tracking company, nothing. I’ve filed a complaint with Shop. I’ve requested a full refund from WaveCross, nothing.

Home Improvement - Garage Door Repair Scam

I called, got a quick appt for garage door keypad repair. Website promises written estimate plus warranty. Tech arrived, said new keypad needed. Did not even check battery. Then said keypad would cost about $100, but 5yr warranty would be $200, and 10yr $300. I opted for 10yr, at total of $400 (keypad + warranty). He said my emailed receipt would be the warranty. However the only emailed $400 receipt I received was from a credit-card service, not a garage-door company. And it didn’t even mention the service done (nothing about a keypad or warranty). I called the original number several times, each time got a promise that the detailed invoice would be emailed by COB that day. Nothing. Called again next day, same promise, and nothing. Looked again at website. No address, no actual business name, no option for sending a review despite several (I now assume fake) reviews. And they have now changed their web-advertised phone to 844-777-7906. BTW, the tech's phone is 240-872-6876.

We were trying to buy a home warranty, explained exactly what we were looking for, were advised it would all be covered for a premium monthly price. We agreed. When it came time to use the home warranty 6 months later, they denied the claim twice but charged us a $125 dollar service fee twice, and no work was done to fix the furnace problem we are having, still. We have called the company multiple times to cancel and they have seriously refused to cancel and continued to charge us monthly for the service they are not even trying to provide. This is a scam and my husband is a 100% disabled veteran. They lied about their coverage during the initial call and they have refused to allow the repair needed or cover it and they have refused to cancel for 3 weeks worth of calls to do so. They gave us back 1 service fee of $125 dollars and continued to charge us monthly despite our requests to cancel. Now they refuse to give us back the very last monthly fee for a contract we have requested be canceled over and over. First request to cancel was 11/7, charges continued on 11/13. They now refuse to give us our last month back despite giving them call log information to show we have been requesting cancellation. This is fraud on a veteran. These people do not care.

Retail Business - Spectrum-imposter

On Friday Oct 2nd , 2025 a woman wearing a Spectrum Badge named Brenda Gomez said they were doing work in m area and did I have problem with spectrum. I said no, she said what you paying for yoru spectrum service? So I let her in, told her I was paying $262.00 a month on Spectrum . She said that is too much money, and told me she could get me $135.27 with a package with ADT Security for $69.99. I signed the service agreement. IIt has the price listed separately on this paper of $135.27 Spectrum, $69.99 ADT and $203.99 for both company prices. The service agreement says In Home Services at the top with this number, 1-888-377-1201. She told me I would see this price in one billing cycle. Then she send a person named Ronaldo 1-562-672-7155 to install this camera at my Dads house. Brenda Gomez told me I would recieve an email within 48 hours reflecting the price of Spectrum $135.27 and ADT $69.99. I never got an email saying that. I looked online for In Home Services could not find an address, and saw on google this mostly probably was a scam. I then called on Monday, 10/05/2025 ADT to cancel this camera stuff. They would not send me to cancellation dept because I had signed up with In Home Ssrvices. I called themIn home services and they would not cancel and said I would get my promised email with that price by Friday 10/09/2025. I told them I wanted to cancel and had called ADT they sent me back to IIn Home Services. Ashley the manager at In home Services told me I had to go thru them exclusively, and wait 2 billing cycles to relect this price of both companies. I kept calling ADT to cancel, they sent me back to In Home Services. Robert at In Home services was bullying me over the phone saying I signed a docusign, which I never did with a company called Real Home Security.. They are not listed on my service agreement. Our power went out the 12th of October and this camera setup was hissing, making loud beeping noises, and I called Ronaldo who installed it to remove it. No answer. I called back ADT but they kept sending be back to In Home Services. Finally after numerous calls to In Home services, ADT, and also Real Home Security, who never called me back, I called ADT on 10/28/ 2025. and at ADT a woman named Daisy, ( I actually got transfered to the cancelaatio dept.) Canceled this ADT . I asked if they wanted the camera equip back, she said no, it was not from them. So 2.5 weeks of loud noises , hissing, my father unhooked the camera equipment. He broke a wire while doing so. He is 87, ever signed any this service agreement, I had only showed it to him. In Home services said I would have to pay a one time fee, and was stalling for anyone to get this camera equipment which was malfunctoning unhooked. On 10/31/2025 She sent a person named Leo ( who nstalls solar) to take pics of all the camera equipement. He took the sensors off the house. She then called and said I had to pay $1200 for the broken wire on the camera. She also had the last 4 digits of my Dads checking account, (not mine) I have no idea how she got the information. I had to go to my Dads bank and talk to the manager to let him know about this scam, and how did this In Home Services get his Checking account information, which she had given to ADT. I called back ADT and spoke with Carissa on 11/03/2025 and she removed my Dads checking account information, told her about ti from their billing. She also sent me a copy of the ADT contract, which I had never seen, and someone had docusigned my name on this ADT contract.(It was not met.) Thiis is a terrible scam, spoke with Spectrums Legal dept, and also ADT legal dept person named Humbert. Told him all what happened here. Now ADT is trying to charge me $59.99.
