Home Improvement - Nebraska Road Maintenance

Paid $5000 for a driveway chipped asphalt overlay. Product was poor quality and washed away after a rain of .25 inches. Disputed the amount paid via phone calls and then text messaging. A refund of $1500 was agreed upon but never received. After 3 weeks more of texting, I am reporting them as a scam/fraud. The phone was disconnected, the address checked out as fake and the website does not exist.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase

We received a contact form inquiry at [email protected] requesting pricing for powder coating metal fence components. The inquiry was from an individual identifying himself as Gary Walker with Sipi Engineering. Arsco Custom Metals responded with a formal quote totaling $20,351.51, which Mr. Walker accepted. The customer attempted to pay via our online credit card payment link, but the transaction failed. Subsequently, he contacted our office directly, and our staff manually entered the payment through our Authorize.net portal. The payment appeared to clear successfully. Following payment confirmation, the customer requested that we use a freight company called DropBox (not affiliated with the well-known file-sharing service) to arrange pickup of their materials. We complied and obtained a freight quote. DropBox, posing as a legitimate carrier, required prepayment of $5,575.00 via ACH, which is not uncommon in our industry for freight services. Based on that, we proceeded with the ACH transfer and sent all requested documentation. Believing the skids had been picked up, we continued as if the project was in motion. Over the following week, we received inconsistent updates from DropBox. Initially, they claimed the skids were lost, then later said they had located only part of the shipment. They continued to promise delivery, but nothing was ever delivered. We reached back out to Mr. Walker to ask whether he wanted Arsco to fabricate replacement parts. He verbally agreed, and we sent pricing. However, he has since ceased responding to all communications. DropBox has also gone silent. Based on the pattern of events and complete lack of follow-through from both parties after payment, we have determined that this was a coordinated scam involving a fraudulent company and a fake freight provider. We are submitting this report in the interest of preventing others from falling victim to a similar scheme.

Online Purchase - Morgan and Madison

I ordered and paid for a summer dress online for $42.64 on July 16th. When I received the product it was less than satisfactory so I contacted them to try to return it for a refund. It took several emails, photos and many days to actually get a response. They kept wanting me to provide them more information, photos, etc. Their final offer was to keep the dress and accept a voucher for 75% of the original purchase amount. Since I have no faith in the quality of the merchandise I asked for a refund. The address given to me for the return: Zhang Xiaowen, 202, Building C, Yucai Industrial Zone, Qiaotang Road, Fuhai Street, Bao'an District, Shenzhen (Province ofGuangdong), China 518100. Phone:+86 180 3805 9004. My local post office told me it would cost about $20 to mail this dress back to China. The company also wanted me to share a photo of the receipt and tracking details. Since the cost of mailing the dress is approximately half the price of the dress I will not be mailing it. I do worry that I purchased this online with a credit card. I also don't want others to be fooled by this sham of a company.

I had been laid off from my job and had been pumping out applications online very frequently. I was approached via email for a job within the realm that I was looking for- I did an online assessment and communicated back and forth with the "recruiter". They forwarded an offer letter and said that they could begin with onboarding after I got licensing for the position. They stated that they would pay for it and forwarded me a check. They advised that the check needed to be deposited and then I would need to use cash app and bitcoin to purchase the licensing. Of course, the second I purchased the licensing, the check they provided bounced.

The site said 100% refund guaranteed with no questions asked. So I asked for a refund then I received this email back from them. There were only size options to choose from, I ordered a small AI stuffed animal. They think they can get away by saying like this and just take money, but I won't let them. I see others were getting scammed like me too. I just disputed with my credit card company as I have no time to deal with this. Thank you for reaching out. After reviewing your order, we can confirm that the product we sent is correct, as you ordered the BASIC version, which is exactly what you received.

Employment

Basically, to make a long story short, I've been applying to a lot of jobs lately online. I was contacted by a hiring manager saying that my resume matched the job description his company was hiring for which was Adler Steel company head quartered in Ontario, Canada. I replied with an interview date and timeslot, and I conducted a total of 3 interviews in which I had to answer detailed questions, conduct personal assessments and even submitted essay questions for the position. It seemed legit, as from previous employment opportunities had used the same procedures. 1 week later, I received a job offer via email which I was very enthused about because it was a substantially high annual salary and a remote position. After signing the offer letter, I was contacted by the hiring manager to send in personal information to start the onboarding process. The documents I sent in via email were my SSN card, passport picture, proof of address, W-4 and my direct deposit information. All I felt was normal because I have done that for in previous positions. As days went by…I noticed several red flags, such as the hiring manager wanted me to contact him via what’s app and we began to only have communication on there for the remainder of the onboarding process. I was told bits and pieces about my position daily and I didn’t really think anything was wrong until the hiring manager and the company’s website had small discrepancies I noticed. The last huge red flag was when I was told during the onboarding process that the company wanted me to set up a personal account with a credit union for petty cash for me to buy computers, office supplies etc. for my team. That’s when I found out it was a SCAM!!! PLEASE HELP!!!

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Poochbark

I ordered a dog coat and did actually receive one, but it was too small. There was no return mailing/shipping info in the package so I emailed Poochbard about a return/refund. They indicated there was no free shipping to return the coat, but if I paid an additonal $15 CAD, they would just send me the larger size of the coat. I did so, but the mail disruption halted any progress there for several months. I emailed them again, and they responded saying they would ship the coat out right away. I did get a confirmation email saying the coat was shipped - but tracking it only indicated the coat was "shipped" and never delivered. I have emailed them one more time to address the state of the shipment/order, but have had no response. I should have known better!

Counterfeit Product - Bll Hair

Hello, I ordered this hair about a month and a half ago. Today, I attempted to dye both my natural hair and the purchased hair to a lighter color. While my natural hair lightened as expected, the hair I ordered remained black and did not change at all. On the page the hair is advertised as 100% human however it is not. When i sent the a message being nice about all i got back was “i got your problem, i dont sell synthetic hair, i dont cheat people” so why would my natural dye and the added hair still be jet black.see now if it was a problem of cheap dye, my hair wouldnt change. Ive tried **** *** ****** the first time and ****** *******. 2 brands Ive used on my human hair bundles and wigs and human braiding hair ALL the time.
