Said I won a million dollars and that the money was coming from costa re ca. I had to pay a 1% tariff on $750000 after irs got their 25%.

I ordered 3 mood bird window hangers. The picture of this bird looked beautiful. I was getting one for me, my sister and my daughter. When I received the products, I found that they were so cheaply made with a very thin plastic design. When I tried to put the chain through the wing of the bird, IT BROKE THE WING. I tried to request a refund for these birds of $69.98 and I was told that I could receive $18 refund and keep the products. Another response was that I could on my dime return the products to this address: Room 906, R&D Complex Building, Baoyunda Logistics Center, Baoan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China 518102. Send them The Order #, and I would receive a full refund after they follow the tracking # and receive the products. I talked to UPS about returning these products to CHINA. UPS said that it would cost a lot, plus now there is tariff costs also and the products would probably not be received. They recommended just keeping the products. I DO NOT AGREE, I WANT MY MONEY REFUNDED. Please submit this as a scam so others don't get a poorly produced product. Also, there is more emails regarding this company through Pinterest.com. I read an email about this person had ordered a Santa and received a cheap necklace. Thank you for looking into this matter.

The ad indicates this is a brick and mortar store in Los Angeles which is going out of business. I paid for a pair of shoes which were a cheap knock off of the shoe represented. It was very small, cheaply made and could not fit me. Turns out there is NO STORE in LA. The company is registered in Netherlands and the product comes directly from China. The whole ad is a lie and a front for a direct from China sale. Gross misrepresentation. They offer small percent back and state you have to mail things back to CHINA at your cost and pay additional tariff. This whole thing is a horrible scam.

I received a flyer advertising a "$100,000 Lady Luck Game" and a "Tariff Relief Tent Event" next to Space Coast Harley Davidson. The flyer promised prizes up to $100,000, including a car, cash, and AirPods for test driving a vehicle. The game card included in the flyer matched symbols indicating a winning prize. I called the provided number and was told I needed to come in person to claim the prize. Upon researching and comparing with others who received the same flyer, I found that all game cards were printed with the same "winning" combination, making the game deceptive. It is clear that this is a bait-and-switch tactic used to lure consumers under false pretense. These marketing tactics are misleading and predatory. They exploit people's trust by presenting a false impression of winnings that are nearly impossible to collect unless specific (and undisclosed) conditions are met. I urge the BBB to investigate this company for deceptive advertising and predatory business practices. Consumers should not be misled with fake promotions designed to drive foot traffic and high-pressure sales. — A concerned Florida resident

I ordered 4 t-shirts from this company, https://www.voicewearspace.com/, on 4/30/25. On May 29, I received the last tracking update, saying it had come from Norway, passed customs and was handed over to the local delivery org. I emailed the company when I still had not received it by June 5. They replied with a totally different tracking number and that tracking info said it was coming from China (no mention of Norway) and was still enroute. I emailed again a week later and same info was sent to me saying Trumps tariffs were to blame (of course the tariffs have not taken effect yet). I emailed again June 18 asking for a refund and they replied saying they showed the package had been delivered. I replied that it had not. They replied again with a USPS tracking number saying that it had been delivered to a USPS “parcel box.” I took that number to the USPS office yesterday and the lady said she thinks I’ve been scammed as there was no such parcel box.

I ordered two patio umbrellas from this company. My invoice was paid upfront with my credit card and the shipping was free. My balance says zero. About a month after I received the umbrellas I received a bill from FedEx for $45.10 telling me it was tariff charges. I made multiple phone calls to the company to ask about this and they never once have answered their phone. I finally got through to email and they are telling me to pay the bill because it was a mistake and they will reimburse me. This sounds like a huge scam to me and very shady. I am not paying the bill. I told them I was reporting them to the BBB.

I placed an order on May 13 and waited the 72 hours promised for shipping. When the 72 hours elapsed, I tried to contact via phone, online chat, and email asking status. It took days for a response (phone kept disconnecting). The online chat is a bot, and I would get weird standard responses. The emails would get responses saying that the suitcase was held up by tariff issues. I kept trying. Daily. Finally after daily numerous times, on June 6, a response to my email came saying that the order was canceled and I would receive credit to my credit card within 3-5 business days. Today is June 15, and I still haven’t received credit to my card. I have continued to try to contact them daily via phone kept disconnecting, email and online chat, and have not been successful. This company is not a legit company, I think the rave reviews are fake, and I think these are all a scam. I have filed a report with my credit card company as well. Please people, do not buy from this online company.

I found an add on Facebook and ordered the merchandise. Their website stated that it could take 1-3 days to process the order, then 5-15 for shipment. It is 1.5 months later and still no shipment has been received. When I reached out to them, they stated that it was because of the tariffs. However, this isn't something they stated would happen in their online shipment policy. I feel the run around I was given, the tariff is just an excuse.

Scammer messaged me on Facebook, then FB messenger. She suggested I download and use WhatsApp. We connected on WhatsApp and she described herself owning a fashion design studio in San Francisco. She also mentioned Bitcoin trading interests and offered help me make profits in trading Bitcoin with an initial $2,100. She guided me through the setup process and had me download Crypto trading and wallet apps and set up the accounts. Step by step she walked me through all of it and seemed to have an interest in my life. She explained that there are a lot of scammers using her pictures but she was not a scammer. We traded pictures and chatted about various things and eventually she suggested a video call. Scammer looked like the girl in the pictures, (but thinking back it most likely was an AI filter). Scammer said her Uncle has a group of people that trade on NESBITTCO.COM and offered me the opportunity to join them. It started out OK, We made some trades and it seemed i made a few hundred dollars per 30s trades.. She showed me screenshots of her trades and profits of larger amounts and suggested I add more funds to trade with. all seems normal at first, I wired $50,000 from my savings account to Strike (a bitcoin buy/sell app). Scammer walked me through the process of sending the funds to the trading website and it went from there. Scammer offered to front $72,000 from her bitcoin assets for me to trade with also. seemed very generous, so I went along with it. After trading for a month I needed to withdraw funds, Scammer walked me through the process and it worked. I was able to withdraw and return $10,000 to my bank account. All seemed good. We continued chatting daily, watching videos and movies at the same time discussing them after.. We would node trade 1 or 2 times a week as time went on. In February she suggested I get a home equity loan for trading and making even more profits and just pay it back after a month. I ended up doing this for $191,000, (very bad decision) One day the trading site stopped working, scammer assured me my funds are safe, and it was just a domain name change. Scammer gave me the new name and it was working again. The website did this 4-5 times total ending on FRBIT.CC. I decided to withdraw funds in the amount of $65,000 a day in April and she walked me through the process step by step. Once I hit OK it was done and she said I just have to wait a few hours or 24h at most (they never arrived). The next day she suggested I contact customer service and ask why the funds haven't arrived yet. BIT customer service claimed that an error in the receiving address caused an anomaly with my account and I needed to pay $65,000 to fix the issue within 7 days. (Scammer said she had never heard of this issue ever before now) Since just about all of my funds were stuck in this FRBIT.CC site I had to come up with $33,000 and scammer offered the rest ($32,000), however it was not in the 7 day allotted time. Scammer assured me we were good. Customer service then said I was required to pay 1% of the total amount in my account before my account could be used again ($29,969) late fees. Scammer promised she would help with this, but never did. I managed to come up with $10,000, and she promised the rest. She then claimed a tariff issue caused her to have to use Mexico or Canada to get past the fees on stuff from China, so she used $7,000 of her $20k. Scammer promised the $13,000 was for me to use only, nothing else. She walked me through paying the 10k and another $7k to BIT customer service again, and when she was supposed to transfer the rest, she claimed her bank card was frozen and could not do anything with her funds. Scammer claimed the bank and accused her of money laundering and froze her account. Scammer also claimed her uncle was being targeted for espionage and was under investigation by an MP (all lies). She then left me to gather the $13,000 to restore my account. I refinanced my home equity loan and came up with the funds , but by this time FRBIT.CC stopped working and I could not access the site.. Scammer assured me this was normal, and she would get the name. After a few days she told me the new name, www.cbocn.com or (CBMWW.COM.) After creating an account she said I just need to verify by uploading me CDL and everything will work after I pay the final $13,000 late fee even though the site was totally different. What choice did I have if I wanted to retrieve anything at this point. She had me contact customer service on the CBOT site and they said i need to pay the "funds". went through process again, and paid the $13,000 (final mistake). I attempted to withdraw a small amount and it has yet to go through, just says "confirmation in progress". its been a week and customer service stopped responding altogether.. This person has caused me a to be in a financial mess. I hope one day they are caught and tried and convicted. This has caused me major anxiety and I doubt I will ever recover. I know it was a big mistake to trust this person, the script this scammer followed on me worked too well. She has contacted me less and less over the timeline. Scammer then came up with that I have to pay %10 taxes on withdraws made from the CBOT site in order to prevent people evading paying taxes on withdraws. total lies, but I found out that that is the last part of this type of scam and I will never get my funds back. This has been a nightmare. Crypto trading is all a scam to me now. Please help. I'm dreading filing taxes in 2026 now as this is the worst nightmare ever.

I purchased a shirt from The Pink Galaxy website. I placed the order on April 27, 2025 and received two items that I did not order on May 6, 2025. I emailed [email protected] and told them I received two items that I did not order, that I ordered a shirt and that I would like my money back. Their response was "Thanks for reaching out to us. Due to President Trump’s tariff actions, delays in Customs clearance would be inevitable. We are sorry for the inconvenience. We will push the shipping company to expedite the transportation of your order. Thank you for your kindness and understanding. " Yours sincerely Customer Service Team

this order was placed on 3/27/25. Standard Shipping (5-7 Days). Here we are 6/3/25 and still no package. I have requested a full refund numerous of times and all I get is excuses. I have a email trail of all the back and fourth with this company. They stated that my package was delivered on 4/24/25. Then I get this response Sorry to keep you waiting. Unfortunately, your order is delayed at customs due to President Trump's tariff actions. Please rest assured that we are working closely with our partners to expedite your shipment and minimize any further delays Please allow a week for an update. We are checking this with our shipping partner in your country, and it wouldn't be that fast to get an answer. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause and appreciate your understanding

On May 12, 2025 (according to my online bank account) I was playing a game on my phone. The game contains ads between moves. An ad popped up for "L.L. Bean Outlet" advertising items for as little as $6 USD. The website seems legitimate so I ordered a few items including a pair or women's summer shorts and a men's cardigan sweater (i can't remember the 3rd item). I did receive an email saying that I'd be informed when the items shipped. Unfortunately I might have deleted that email. I didn't think anything of until I looked at the bank account entry and saw SILKQS* SILKQS 5948 SINGAPORE SG. Also I have not received an email saying the items were being shipped. This COULD be legitimate because we know cargo coming from southeast Asia is being delayed due to the tariff situation. But it's probably a scam.

This BBB site required the following information, yet the only address and phone number I could locate online was in Memphis, TN. I did not order from this store directly, although they apparently represent usacomfycloths. USAcomfycloths does not publish or may not have a phone number, address or specific location! I ordered from usacomfycloths.com. My “snake bite” experience began with a Facebook ad. Ads on Facebook are numerous, appear well documented and can be traps. I fell for the usacomfy.cloths trap, spent $52.47 ordering what looked like an appealing looking shirt. I’ve learned that this misinformation site I (USAcomfycloth.com) is lie after lie. Their online site claims money back protection, fast shipping and safe check-out. Not true! I believe usacomfy.cloths attempts to profit by plastering USA motiffs on their web site. The clothing is apparently not USA produced (probably from China judging from the shoddy fabric and construction). The transit- tracking.hub messages claimed order came from Cavan, Ireland and their supposed “fast” shipping took around 46 days. When queried re: delay concern, was informed that tariff changes were responsible for slow shipping (ordered 4/3/25 -delivered 5/19/25). As for the money back protection, my Visa charge, was transferred to their PayPal, account. Researching I learned that PayPal is not likely to reimburse charges under any circumstance. After contacting merchant, usacomfy.cloths about dissatisfaction, their “goodwill” response was to offer a $4.00 reimbursement!! The order's plastic bag packaging was labeled Grmando Oteroy out of Lawrenceville, GA. Did more online research to discover scam after scam from disgruntled people who had bad experiences with them. Turns out that Gmando Oteroyis also located in other states. Scam Detector’s algorithm gives this business the following rank: 13.4/100. Scam Dectector says - Our low trust score leans toward “yes." On scam. “On usacomfycloths our in-depth review is based on 53 powerful factors we aggregated to expose high-risk activity.” Then malwaretips.com lists usa comfycloths as a scam operation. “On the surface, UsaComfycloths.com appears to be a legitimate online retailer selling various discounted items to shoppers at prices significantly lower than major retailers. However, in reality, UsaComfycloths.com is a scam website that engages in deceptive tactics to trick customers into placing orders and handing over their money or sensitive personal information.Scammers behind UsaComfycloths.com use spam emails and social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to promote the site and lure in victims. This fraudulent site uses incredibly low prices and stolen product images to entice unsuspecting shoppers. Once victims place orders and submit payment information, the scammers simply take the money and run. Customers are left with one of the following outcomes: Knock-off or inferior substitutes – Victims may receive cheap replicas made with poor-quality materials thatdo not match the original product descriptions. This is really scary! On top of selling sham goods or no goods at all, UsaComfycloths.com also unscrupulously collects customers’ personal and financial data during checkout, including full names, home addresses, phone numbers, credit card details, and more. This information is likely used or sold for nefarious purposes like identity theft, credit card fraud, or sharing on dark web marketplaces. Our research indicates Usacomfycloths.com is likely part of a larger interconnected scam network based in China. This network operates countless fake online retail sites with the sole intent of defrauding customers.

I had purchased the item from their website. Without letting me know ahead of time I was charged a 25% tariff on this purchase when my payment went thru. I contacted them to find out why I was charged that amount. When the item finally came a month later, it was not what was advertised. It was supposed to be a denture reline kit. WHAT I got looked like a Halloween costume prop to attach to the front of your teeth. Their site says 120 day return guarantee. I contacted them to return at which time they stated that they would send me a 30% refund and I could keep the product or I would have to mail the product back to them at my cost which is 20.00 to ship it back to China for a full refund. I filed a case with PayPal, because either way I am not even getting a fraction of the money back. This is a scam company. I finally told them today just to return the 30% which will amount to maybe 9.00 out of 41.20 and that I would be filing a report with the BBB to try to get them shut down. Do not buy from this company. Minceetbein, Altrix, Bikenda. What ever other name they are using all over the web.

Individual was called and convenced they had won $10M dollars. $5,000 per week for life and a Mercedes in a Publisher's Clearing House drawing. To receive it they had to pay the tariff on the car, and the money would be tax free.

Website: https://www.stacees.com/ Hong Kong Office Information Company : DIY FASHION LIMITED Registration Number: 1994949 Address : Unit D, 16/F, One Capital Place, 18 Luard Road, Wan Chai Hong Kong. Purchased two homecoming dresses. Contacted them via their online chat before placing the order to ensure they would be delivered in time for the event. I was assured if I placed the order they would arrive in time. They arrived 3 days late and did not fit per their own sizing guide posted on their website. Their website states they will refund if a mistake was made on their part. I've tried for 4 weeks to get information to return and receive a refund. Their ticket response was the following "resell the dresses at the local second-market or keep for the next event, is it reasonable?" I spent $210 dollars and want a full refund. I responded it was not reasonable and I wanted a full refund, to which they responded "of course we accept requests for standard size returns, but considering to reduce the return cost, time and energy, we provide available advice to customers before return dress, just hope to reduce customer's loss." Then in the same email they stated "So we suggest you keep them, as buying a dress like this in a store can be expensive. We are willing to reimburse you $50 directly, then you keep the dress directly. Here is a good suggestion, you can resell the dress to others to get some income. Because if you insist on sending it back, the delivery is unstable and have some risks, including to the lost, damaged and tariff. If so, you will lose a lot, even we can't receive it, which means we can't refund for you. Hope you can understand." I've tried to contact them stating this is unacceptable. I've left a review on their website. This is not a legitimate business and there posted statement on returns is false.

MENO: Victim of a Scam To whom it may concern: I was on the receiving end of an elaborate scam. It started from a former pastor who heard about a widower (Gay Stanek) would be giving away a grand piano. It was located in Kansas City MO. He just wanted it to go to a good home where it wasn’t just a piece of furniture, but it would be used. I contacted the owner of the piano, the widower who was moving about the piano. He said it was a Kawai Grand Piano. It was free but I would have to pay shipping. Through Zelle I paid $898.00 to David’s Moving Company on December 13. They were to deliver the instrument December 27. On December 15, they told me there was an additional $327.00 for the climate- controlled storage that needed to be paid. I said that technically I am not the owner but the owner (Gay Stanek) was still the owner. I agreed to pay though since I was getting such a grand instrument. On December 27, they informed me that I would have to take out a refundable insurance policy on the instrument. The FMCSA required that. They stated that the previous owner had sent them an original sales receipt for the instrument and it was worth $13,700. I would have to pay 10% fee that would be refunded. I got on the FMCSA website and yes, there were many regulations about moving items via the interstate. I paid them through Zelle $1370.00. This was timed perfectly with the “owner” letting me know they had sent a receipt to the movers. On December 28, they wanted $542.00 more for a tariff again using the FMCSA to back up their demand. I FINALLY stopped paying them. It seems that using a government agency to commit fraud should be a felony. Just saying. Here is their info: David’s Moving Co. 1225 West 8th Street Kansas City, MO 64101. (816) 693-2714 WEBSITE: www.davidsmovingco

It appears this scam organization has a number of trademarks. For me it was Kaegreel.com shoes. I had the same experience when they sent the wrong size shoes. They refused to exchange them and offered a discount to buy new ones. They suggested I resell the shoes I received. If I wanted to exchange them, I had to pay more in shipping costs than the shoes are worth. The shoes are not their brand. I found the exact same shoes on Amazon selling as Nuheel for $10 less and free shipping and exchanges. The address on the package is the same NJ address listed here, but the return like everyone else here is to China. Above is the report I provided on a website where I found about twenty other scams by a company using the same address, but operating from different websites and e-mail address. The MO is consistent across these reports. Send a cheap product from China or wrong product. Offer a discount on a new purchase or insist on shipping costs for the return and replacement item that is more than the product is worth. In my case, they also noted that I needed to pay a tariff. I have filed with the credit card company to see if I can recover the cost, but my real objective is to prevent others from victimization.

After a long wait a cheap plastic copy of the above metal art figure was sent. Comment / Review This is a classic bait and switch. This company advertised a picture of a metal sculpture and then shipped a cheap plastic copy. Then when trying to get a refund the company sent endless emails telling me not to sent he product back to the address listed on the package where the Mail Fraud originated from this address in NJ: 1206 East US Route 130 North, Burlington, NJ 08016. They told me they would offer a 10% return, then 15%, then 20%, then 30% refund and that it would cost over $20 to ship my package back to the address they gave me in China rather than the NJ address listed on the package. FaceBook is great at identifying any "false information" but fails to even look into its advertisers! Here was the last message from this rip off Chinese Company: Dear customer, Thanks for your message. We are so sorry that the goods you received can not meet your satisfaction. According to the policy of our company, before we issue refund, customer need to return back the product, according to our substantial experience, it will cost you more than 20USD for shipping the product back to us, and customers need to be responsible for the returning shipping fee.

I filed a fraud report with my bank. 0 up votedown vote Shopgurl 12/20/2021 at 06:07 PM My order looked like I was ordering from a flower shop. It was suppose to hang on my front porch for the holidays. It was shown with lights and greenery like Christmas. Instead its a small plastic floral and greenery that look like they should be in a fish tank.Thankfully this thing only cost me 40 bucks. It could have been a lot worse. Shut this place down!

I ordered them on Nov. 17 and they just arrived in a small plastic bag with the New Jersey address. The product was listed as coming from The Winter Boutique US but obviously it's BS in a big way.

They were not Certified as advertised and look counterfeit. Same address as everyone else with that label covering the one from China. The phone number on the website was a residence that had a message that if you ordered Coins, it is a scam and get your money back. I used PayPal so it was no issue and got my money back within a week. I got a refund 2 weeks after ordering and receiving as I saw the tracking was from China and it was bogus. That's when I called the number. Always use PayPal as they have your back. Facebook allows all these scams. 0 up votedown vote jkf 01/28/2022 at 10:16 AM Paypal dispute pending here because of bait and switch selling practices.

Long wait and no delivery, but after a month I received an email communication ostensibly from a 'Lisa W.' (from email address [email protected]) saying "Hi, dear customer, Due to the covid, the delivery is longer than expected. I am very sorry about it. We do not want the customer to be uncomfortable. So we refund you at once. Now the parcel has been delivered. We want to recover damages. We can give you a 30% discount. Have a nice day Kind regards Lisa" Needless to say, the ordered items were not received, but I found that my PAYPAL payment had in fact been refunded, so I assumed that this rather unclear message said that they wanted me to resubmit the money, so I did that (again through PAYPAL)....

There was an ad for 2 free golden retriever puppies in the Valley Independent. Upon texting this ad to see if the puppies were available, I received a lengthy text and email message from Josephine. Josephine shared is lived in Mount Lebanon - a local town - and needed to relocate to Sakatoon Canada because her and her family were in the missionary. Josephine sent me pictures of the puppies as well as her family. All emails and text messages were received after 10p ET. They were lengthy, had God Bless in them, along with a praying hands emoji. After Josephine said yes to the adoption, there was a $100 fee for shipping the puppy to the US. Then, there was another $100 fee for getting the required crating for the dog on the airplane, covid protection, and tariff fees from customs. Then, the next day, there was a request for $150. This is when I stopped things as I knew it was scam. With this next request, I told Josephine I could not afford this and asked for her to cover. She said she was a poor missionary person but pay $80 of the $150 and I would be responsible for the $70. Then, I texted Josephine and said this is fake and I'm not sending anymore money. The next day another message with a doc from the Canadian Government Department of Agriculture, Fisheries, and Forestry was in my email with a message begging me to continue with the adoption. I printed the doc and it looked as if white-out was used throughout. Next, I searched for puppy scam via the internet. I received several hits on Jessica Russell McCallum and puppy scam. After revieiwing these sites, I saw the same messages that I received along with the same pictures. I did a reverse image search on Google and found that the pictures sent were from the Northern Breeders Association. I send the URL of the site that had Jessica Russell McCallum's message to Josephine. However, they denied everything and continued to beg more mone.

http://www.polymers4solar.com/ is a legitimate looking website selling brand name shoes. Before making a purchase I researched the site, the business name, looked for negative reviews online & even ran a DNS lookup on the website and everything indicated it was a legitimate business operating out of Canada. First flag was raised when I looked at my credit card receipt and sure enough the business name is HANGZHOUSH China. It's common knowledge that Chinese sites purposely mask their location to trick customers into thinking they're buying from US/Canadian/UK etc storefronts. Also the amount I agreed to pay on the website was converted to USD and included shipping - the amount deducted was $15 higher. To make matters worse 2 days later a second deduction for an even higher amount was taken from my account. Immediately I realized i was dealing with criminals. I wrote to the email address supplied and requested a refund of the second amount. Meanwhile I did receive a package of shoes - the wrong ones, nothing at all like what I ordered, poor quality & squashed into bubble wrap and not in a box. I told them to cancel the order, don't try and send the correct shoes & demanded a full refund. So began a month long correspondence with the supplier of belligerent responses, avoidance tactics, never answering any of my direct questions and always in barely comprehensible broken english and always insisting that the issue will be resolved when they send me the right shoes. Here are some of the replies I've received so far: 1. In response to my email telling them they sent the wrong shoes and to refund both deductions and cancel the order. ==================================================== From: [email protected] Sent: Wednesday, 30 May 2018 12:56 PM To: Subject: Re: Re: Welcome to www.polymers4solar.com Dear , Sorry, because too much emails waitting to deal with, and so delay replying to you.

Best regards ; . Christal ==================================================== Basically this person replies to my emails about 3-4 days late each time, doesn't answer any questions and is robotically single-minded about completing the order - even though they've been trying (apparently) for the last 4 weeks to resolve it without result. In hindsight the warning signs should have been when I didn't find any online reviews - neither negative or positive. In fact I couldn't find anything at all...like a ghost business. The cleverer criminals know how to manipulate search engine feeds to suppress this kind of content. In future I will be sure to take better notice of this. Moreover I will only ever shop online from reputable in-country sites.

I purchased a timeshare in late-2016. I was given the name of EscrowOne by the timeshare salesman so that I could get rid of my current timeshare. I looked up EscrowOne when I returned and it appeared to be a legitimate company (through the BBB). I contacted EscrowOne when I returned to the United States. It started pretty standard with me working with David Alderman (of EscrowOne) to get closing documents completed. But from November 2016 to October 2017, there was one fee after another, all supposedly from the Mexican government to complete the sale of my timeshare to Grupo Modelo. I wired funds to Alejandro Aguilera Venegas (a Mexican Escrow Officer) at Banco del Bajio. Both David and Alejandro continued to stated that the Mexican laws relating to timeshare sales had changed in 2016 and require that the purchaser provide the security that it is a valid transaction and not an illegal transaction. There were a total of 29 fees that were "requested" by David/Alejandro under the auspices of being required by the Mexican government to complete the real estate sale to a foreign buyer (Mexican Federal Tax (10%) / Mexican State Tax (8%) / Escrow Fee / Closing Costs / Certificate of Release / Notary Fee / Customs Doc Registry Fee / Transfer Fee / Legal Fees / Capital Gains Tax / Title Search / Customs Process Fee / Luxury Tax / Customs Valuation / International Transfer Fee / Notary Fee #2 / EscrowOne Commission (7%) / Erasing of Records / Additional Legal Fees / Currency Fluctuation / Resort Transfer Registry / Bank Surcharge / Excess Tax / Inflationary Gains / SAT Validation / Foreign Exchange Registry Fee / Liberation of Funds / Customs Passageway Tariff / Border Adjustment Tax). I have the initial copies of the closing documents that were prepared by Resorts Planning Group (that I assume are affiliated with EscrowOne) and all subsequent documents (sent to request payment for each of the payments above). Both David and Alejandro continued to mention that the Mexican government reimburses sales tax and fees associated with transactions to foreign entities. For each payment I wired, it was "confirmed" that those funds had been moved to the reimbursement account to then be sent back to me once the transaction cleared customs. I informed David Alderman that in October, I would not send any additional monies. He stated that if the transaction did not complete, we could request for cancellation; however, the Mexican government processes cancellations on a quarterly basis and would take roughly 6 months to return a portion of my monies. He had stated this before and I refused to allow them to keep my money so I would send the next payment and so on. In October of 2017, I had enough and I held to the point of not sending any more money. Since that point, all contact numbers and email addresses do not work.

“re-shipping” scam, this one involves receiving package deliveries at your address, then repackaging and shipping the deliveries to customers in exchange for both a reimbursement for your shipping costs and a payment as your fee. There might be a wide variety of reasons why the scammer claims he needs the items reshipped, including international shipping costs, tariff issues, or a host of other excuses, but the end result is the same: not only do you never receive payment from the scammers who “hired” you to work for them, you just received goods bought with stolen identities, making you an accomplice. Don't work for this company is a scam they still from people and you will be the mule in the middle

I received a text message from 443-341-1924, Texaco Global Company Promo. saying I had won $60,000 and two lap tops and to call the number for instructions. I called the number as instructed and spoke with a man with a foreign accent who said he will be sending me a text message to verify I won. In the following text he asked my name, occupation, street address, status of marriage. I texted back. Then he texted again, verified the amount won as being $60,000 + the lap tops and said there would be a tariff of $650 cash and if paid within an hour I could have my money within 4 hours. Texted again with further instructions to send the money to Athleen Suddath, Reform, Alabama 35481. He just called me from 347-507-6429, saying I should western union the $650 using the previous information.
