Online Purchase - Online Shopping Scam

I purchased a solar fan hat, but they provided a fake tracking number, JSEXS0984179952YQ. It showed it was delivered on I believe 6/26, then I reached out via email to let them know I never received it, and checked the tracking again, and then it said it was delivered 6/27. I emailed again and received no response. The website and now tracking number are no longer available.

I am certain this website is offering items for prices that are way too cheap. Like a bluetti ac200p that includes the solar panels and generator fo 39.99. This same unit sell for 1399 on Amazon. The one that got me to click was the Dualtron off road escooter for 39.99. This similar escooter is selling for closer to $800-$900. Or the mini digger with actual Kubota engine for $49. These sell for thousands of dollars.

One of the representatives argued with me and tried to get me to offer my own personal information. I told them multiple times to take me off their call list but have continued receiving calls.

I attempted to buy a hat from SolarBrim on May 27th 2025. I purchased the hat from their website. The order "shipped" on June 2nd 2025. It is now June 25th 2025 and I still have not received my item, nor has any shipping info updated. I reached out to them via their contact on their website on June 10th inquiring about my order. I did not receive any email back until June 15th. In my initial email, I advised I would like a refund as this item was a Father's Day gift. Solar Brim stated: "Thanks for reaching out, and I’m really sorry to hear your order hasn’t arrived yet—especially since it was intended as a gift. I completely understand how frustrating that must be. Your order has already been handed over to our logistics partner, which means it’s currently in transit. At this stage, we’re still able to cancel the order if you prefer, but please note that a 10% cancellation fee would apply, as outlined in our policy. If you’d prefer to keep the order, we’d love to offer you a 15% discount for the delay, as well as an exclusive 25% discount for any future orders. You can use the code CARA25 at checkout for the next one. Please let us know how you’d like to proceed—we’re here to help either way." I responded to this email stating I would still like a refund as I still haven't received it. I have contacted them on June 18th inquiring about my refund. I then sent them two contact messages through their website and still have not heard back. I would just like my money back, as I feel like I have been scammed.

An individual named Mitch Dokman was going door to door and claimed he could save me money on my electricity bill through a solar credit that he could refund me on my bill and he could prove I was paying this credit by looking at a copy of my bill which he then took a picture of. He then showed me a contract to sign to receive the credit, I told him I need to read the contract first as I didn't understand what they were selling, he used a lot of pressure tactics to try and get me to sign this several page contract right away which I refused. I told him to send me a copy of the contract and I would look it over, he emailed me a link that did not work then texted me this several page contract. I told him I would let him know if I wanted to proceed. I contacted my electricity and explained to ask them what this was about they explained that this was a type of scam where they become your electricity supplier and possibly credit you in the short term but then dramatically increase the price of your bill. I texted this 'salesman' Mitch back told him I wasn't interested and told him to delete the picture of my bill he took as well as any information about me he may have collected and to not sell my information. He did not respond to several messages so I am filling this form out. I don't appreciate people misrepresenting what they are selling and using high pressure sales tactics to try and get a sale.

I applied to a job listing on Indeed with the company name Sideline Solar. I received a message almost immediately, inviting me to a Zoom meeting later in the week. I went to research the company, and there is zero info about them. They have a website which has little identifiable information (phone number, email), and they claim to be BBB accredited. I looked them up and they are not. They post some other semi legitimate looking stuff about how they donate to youth sports, and partner with Little League, NFHS, Pony, etc. It's not the worst fake website I've seen, but it's still obviously fake. I hope this can help people avoid losing any personal information to these scammers. Indeed isn't as bad as Career Builder, as far as number of scammers, but there are a few that get through.

I was contacted by Raymond from real estate professionals offering to buy our timeshare in Cabo San Lucas, Solar resort. The offer was over $10k of the total valued paid so I thought it would be legit as they stated I don’t have to pay anything until the sale is done and I get the funds (which would be 5% of the sales totaling around $1900). Premier Land Title was the escrow company involved. I then was shown an account opened up with myself and my husband listed as beneficiaries with Santander in Mexico (branch SUC. LOMAS DE CHAPULTEPEC phone 011 52 55 89 77 15 41 ), with the pre-deposited funds from the buyer Nova Capital Inversionistas w/ Agnes de la Mora( In the amount of $38,900) in a CROSS-BORDER ACCOUNT STATEMENT. I was then asked to pay for a Temporary Tax Identification Number fees ($3,250.88 USD)that the buyer was to reimburse me. Then I get another letter stating the Hacienda SAT required me pay the sales gains tax in advance of $7532 and that the hired attorney that was working for Premier Land Title, LLC (her name is Mariana Alejandra Torres Santos #831693BP shoeing 2013. They sent a picture of her license. They said the buyer would also reimburse me that gains tax, but couldn’t deduct from the sale the gains taxes nor pay on my behalf per Mexican laws. I would have to pay up front and Mexico was holding my funds on a lien until I pay. I also asked for a copy of my natural citizen paperwork and tax ID number. The documents were signed by Marcelino Miranda Aceves. I requested David Dec’s broker number -which is 73745 and it checked out, but was expiring very soon May 2025 (license in Massachusetts). The website domains were both just created less than a year ago. Then I google mapped the addresses listed on the contracts, and not one of them were listed as registered legal locations for these two businesses.

When told you’re not interested they get pushy, intimidating, mean, and extremely unprofessional. They are very confrontational and witnesses have seen older folks need help with making them leave. The guy claiming to be the boss asked a young child if he could come in and use the restroom. They ask personal questions about neighbors. Many pictures from home security cameras are posted on Social Media. Many similar stories on Community Social Media pages. Several police reports have been filed.

I was contacted through messager on LinkedIn about a prospective energy job in Little Rock, AR on January 29, 2025 by Nicholas McDaniel with Renewyx, which appeared to be a legitimate renewable energy recruiter. However, I was a bit skeptical as he did not have a photo posted on his LinkedIn page, and when I asked for more information, "Nick" said that he could explain everything if I set up a quick call. We talked a couple of days later, and it seemed like a good conversation with plausible roles at Scenic Hill Solar. He seemed knowlegable of solar facilities and interested in representing me for an open position, or if that didn't work, there were other companies that he felt he could help me find a new job. He asked for a resume and emailed me a statement to confirm that he could represent me for a position at Scenic Hill. I agreed and sent a resume on January 31. I have not heard from him since. I have tried following up via email on February 4 and LinkedIn messager on February 12 and March 10. He said that the company was expanding quickly and looking to fill several positions.

I was approached via email from a company named Conserva in mid-January 2025 about needing their services to reinstate our solar labor warranty because the installer of solar panels, Titan, filed bankruptcy in 2024. Conserva stated in their email that I had 7 days to respond and pay them $189 for them to inspect solar panels and reinstate the labor warranty. I had no reason to doubt them as they phoned me and further explained the situation, it all sounded legitimate. I paid via credit card and Conserva scheduled the inspection. Two young men arrived and spent no more than ten minutes at my home; one was walking on the tile glancing at the panels while the other had put a drone over the roof area to take photos. They informed me that within ten minutes i would be receiving an inspection report. Shortly after the inspection, I received a call on 2/14/25 from a male named Tyler from (928)585-5641 to go over the inspection report. Tyler noted a few things he considered interesting about the solar panels and stated that the report could not be finalized due to dirty solar panels. He said he had a nearby crew in the area that could clean them for $350. I told him no as I had already paid $189 and was certain I could get a better deal. He said they were offering a discount of $100 and could have them cleaned for $250 however I would have to pay another $89 to have the drone re-take the pictures. I declined and after the conversation I realized that I had fallen victim to a scam. The following day I contacted the company who manages and owns the solar contract, SunRun, and another third party. SunRun advised that they do not employ a third party and have no relationship with Conserva. SunRun further stated that our agreement is with them and our warranty is still in effect as per the terms of our contract. A third party also confirmed that Conserva was not needed. Since the last attempt on Friday 2/14/25 of trying to take additional monies from me, they have ceased all communications. I have reported the incident to my credit card company seeking reimbursement. It is interesting to note that the emails from Conserva never included an address, phone number, or a contact name.

I ordered a solar LED wind chime on 12/30/24 to be delivered to my mother. After a week, I hadn't received a shipping notification. So on 1/7/25 I sent an email to customer service. A shipping notification was immediately sent with tracking information the next day. On 1/23/25, I received an email saying it was delivered. I spoke to my mother the next day and it was nowhere to be found. The tracking also said that USPS delivered it at 11:33 PM, not a time that the postal service is typically delivering. I emailed them on 1/24/25 about this. They encouraged us to contact the postal service. My mother went to the local post office and they let her know that they could not have delivered it because this tracking number doesn't exist. I emailed them again on 1/27/25 with this update, asking for a refund at this point because it clearly wasn't delivered. They indicated they would look into it and I should hear back in 1-3 days. I didn't, so on 2/4/25 I emailed again asking for the refund again. They responded on 2/8/25 only saying the package has been delivered and to check with my local post office if it hasn't.

Online Purchase

A person named Pritam Mahapatra contacted me on Facebook on May 5, 2024. He has a website at https://solarbooking.ai/ and he claims that he helps people close solar deals (he knew I started being a member of the solar company called Powur). He said he could guarantee I make several solar deals per month if I pay him to manage ads and pay for the ads myself. Then, for the first two months, there were no sales whatsoever. He claimed he had a full refund policy if there were no sales, but that wasn't true. I lost about 5500 dollars in total and I'm trying to get a refund from my bank. Pritam refused to give me a refund and he lied many times throughout his scheme. He also charged my account even though I said I did not want to try to use his services for another month. A representative at my bank said that this merchant is definitely suspect. Pritam once said he is located in India, but his company is listed as SOLAR BOOKING ALBUQUERQUE NM.

I was approved for a solar panel loan and this company asked for the deed to my home. The home is in my husband's name only and I told them I would not add my name to the deed. The solar panel loan was only in my name. They applied for 3 different loans on my behalf. They did not have permission to do this. After the second one, I asked them to stop, after the 3rd I cancelled my contract with them. The second lender reached out to me after I cancelled the contract due to this unethical behavior. I was told that someone had doctored my deed and changed my husband's name to mine. I asked for a copy of what the lender was given and indeed someone had replaced his first name with mine and removed the line "a married man" from the deed. Not only did the company use my SSN without my permission (I am also baffled how they got it) to apply for 3 loans but they also doctored a legal document and when questioned about it, they went quiet after repeatedly arguing with me about "why" I cancelled the contract. I have the email where I sent it to them with my husband's name and subsequent emails and texts telling them I will not be put on the deed. Now there is a falsified deed floating around out there, that I have no idea where all they sent it and can't make sure all are destroyed. In addition, someone in the company has my SSN and I hope they have destroyed that and have stopped applying for loans using it.

On December 17th I ordered 6 lights for my children as Christmas gifts. It was advertised to be in Minnesota and on their website they state a 7 day shipping. I paid for shipping with this order. I had not gotten the items when we celebrated Christmas December 27th. The tracking information provided showed it was shipping from China, and there was no other information. I reached out to the company and they told me it was a 14-21 shipping, to which ai replied that their website states 7 days. I received another email on January 5th that states the order is processed and on the way however the tracking information states these are still in China. After sending yet another email it shows me other emails from this company of things I have gotten and never received but they were under different names. This is definitely a scam and I hope no one else loses money like I have.
