I paid for FWLA convention that was going to be held in the LAX Hilton hotel that possibly never existed. They had many social media posts and a website/payment page that looked legit, but I did never check on the hotel to ask if there would be such a convention held there on July 19-22. It's been a month now and I haven't gotten the refund back for the cancellation even though they posted they were being given out on 6/2/2025.

I received a text saying I had been selected for an online interview for the role of Data Entry Position. I was asked to reach out to the HR Dept through the link provided. Once I got to that link, I received an email from a Julie Scott asking me to provide my email address so I could continue on with the process. Then, another email was sent with a questionnaire asking for Name, DOB, Street Address as well as a competency test for the job. After completing this, I was sent a third email with an Employment Offer Letter and asked to provide only the name of my bank to be sure this would work with their payroll system. I did request an appointment to speak with someone regarding questions that I had but was told a zoom call would happen before our first training date. Next, I was asked to download the Telegram App to communicate so all communications could be monitored by the company. After downloading this app, I was told I would be emailed payroll checks as I was not in the office to pick it up and they would not mail checks as the postal service was not dependable, I just had to deposit them through the mobile app for my bank. I was also told that I would have to purchase the Data Entry Software as it required face recognition due to the sensitive nature of the data I would be processing. They emailed a check, in the amount of $1400.00 to pay for the data system with a personal name on it from Cathy A. Nevone, 116 Dewitt Ave, Apt. 10T, Elmira, NY 14901. This came from email [email protected]. At this point, I was beginning to think it was a scam for a personal check to come for a biotech research company. I deposited the check by my banks Mobile App and then called the bank letting them know I was suspicious of the check. My bank got back to me that it was in fact not valid. Cathy requested I send her a picture of the check cut out and endorsed so they could see I followed her directions completely. I explained I shredded the check after I deposited it so I could not send her that picture. Julie continues to reach out through Telegram for me to send a copy of a deposit ticket, or a picture of the check deposited in my account, as per her instruction they will need me to order the software within 48 hours of the deposit. Also, once I verify it has been deposited in my account they will send the computer, printer, scanner, and modem. I let Julie know that I did not get a deposit ticket and will not send a picture of the transaction from my bank. I also let her know that with the 4th of July nothing would be available from my bank until Monday. She continues to reach out and pushing to have me send a picture of my bank account as the computer must be shipped so I can receive it before training begins on Monday, July 14. I have not informed them that I already know that the check is a scam and that I will be working with my local law enforcement.

My experience was exactly similar to the one described by the person who reports being scammed for $10,000. After I was approached via text about a program doing evaluations for SSENCe, I verified that it was a good company with a good reputation. I leapt at the opportunity & on 6/27/25 I spent three hours in the course of an afternoon performing tasks with “Judy,” a trainer, on WhatsApp. I was directed to give 5-Star reviews & I worked hard to compose complimentary statements on products, for which I was complimented. I asked early on about payments & whether they used PayPal or Venmo as payment methods. I was told that, essentially, we’d get to that matter of payment in good time. Along the way I also asked if they were going to ask me for money & was told no. So I went ahead in an effort to complete the training program. I downloaded some kind of payment platform with a Wolf’s-head logo that purported to be cryptocurrency (I subsequently removed it from my iPhone.) After downloading the payment platform, “Judy” told me that I had to connect to my debit card & pay them $24 in order to earn a payment, I balked at that point. I didn’t quite follow her reasoning exactly - she tossed out the term “workbench” payment which I didn’t understand - and I said “no way.” I told them that I would never pay someone money in order to get paid & accused them of wasting my afternoon. “Judy” was indignant & told me that it was she who had suffered lost time. I ended my association & removed both WhatsApp & the crypto payment platform from my mobile phone & most of the photos from the so-called training program. I wrote an accusatory statement to the original recruiter as well & counted myself lucky to be done with those people. But now, a week later, I was curious to see whether it was actually a scam. And sadly I see that they were able to extract money from a woman in Pennsylvania with a son in a wheelchair. It pains me that these scam artists could be so heartless & unconscionable & hope that sharing my experience prevents them from doing more harm.

I waited for a long time and even forgot about the package. Then I came across an email from them that said it had been delivered. I knew that it had not because my daughter had been waiting for the package. I responded to their email to make them aware it wasn’t delivered to us. They replied back saying they are sending a reshipment for free. But I doubt it shows up.

I called the above number to check on the delivery. I was told they did not have any info for the order. I called my credit card to see if a charge had been posted to my account. There were two charges ;totaling $81.03 ($80.03 and $1.00). The phone number the credi card had for the Pocket Hose (also doing business under the name of Kind Science) was 855.668.1655. I called this number and received the same spill of questions such as 1) are you over 50-press 1 2) they attempt to sell you something else via an employee reading from a script. I attempted to interrupt in order to ask them regarding my order. The person just kept reading from the script - ignoring my trying to ask a question. I hung up. I have disputed these charges with my credit card. Please warn others not to fall for the tv offer for Pocket Hose. Thanks.

i saw a facebook listing of an ADU for 950 a month. So i reached out to the number and got in contact. my Partner and I paid for 83 each of application fee. We then paid for 100 pet fee. But in order for him to take the post down so his “lawyer” (as he stated) we had to pay a 400 deposit. But he made a deal we only had to pay 134 as he deducted the 2 $83 dollar and 100 pet fee. So now i only paid 134 for the so called downpayment. So when i got the lease contract he then added that i had to make a deposit of 300 dollars but he was “nice”enough to say that he will cover 200 dollars and i only have to pay 100. This doesn’t make sense as i have never visited the place and he’s asking for a security deposit and the security deposit is needed so he can get the keys from his lawyer. To add he needed this security deposit in order for his lawyer to make the lease contract. i also have his “lawyers” information his number is +1 (909) 264-1214

I found the item (a Backpack) via a web search. The NG Gun. Store website had the backpack in stock and on sale. I put it in the cart, and paid for it with my Apple Card, which then went through PayPal. I received a payment confirmation through Apple and PayPal. I also received an email, from a person representing the company that the final amount could be higher and would be added and charged through PayPal. It was a couple of dollars more. I've since never heard anything from them and haven't received my order. I tried emailing support through the address given on the website as well as calling the phone number. Both are invalid. The PayPal transaction doesn't show up on my account, so I can't file a complaint with them. Freaking Crooks!

Oliver went on to say that my shoes would be shipped within the next 4-5 days.

I had ordered a slush machine for $29.99 with free shipping and used my card to pay for it. The advertisement came on my TikTok and so I ordered it. After I ordered they sent me an email showing where I paid and I could still go to the website. After three days the website shutdown. After a week and a few days went by I emailed them about my slush machine that I ordered. I did not get any response and I looked at the email they sent me where I paid for the product and there is no phone number to call. So I called my card holder and reported them as scammers and they are working on getting my money back. So I did some research on TikTok and these people are using TikTok user videos that are actually lagitly selling products on the TikTok shop using other people videos of products as if they made the video and didn't and scamming people. I managed to contact all the TikTok users that Fascen was using their video to scam people and told them to report them as scammers.

The charge on the credit card shows as “PYN lanoke online HKG” with Hong Kong as the location. There were red flags I should have heeded. 1) When I paid, I automatically got 10% off and was not charged any taxes which is totally illegal and reeks of fraud. 2) The website gives an address in California when you plug the address in Google map, there is no furniture store that address. 3) there are no reviews of any of their products. I am going to dispute the the charge with my credit card in the hope to be reimbursed since no chair is forthcoming. I’m very disappointed but I should’ve known better.

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.

Online Purchase - quickdudz Online Purchase Scam

Approximately December 2024 i recieved an email about clothing & accessories on sale for Christmas shopping & said delivery in 3-6 days. I placed a $50.00 order. To this day in July 2025 i have not recieved my items or a refund. I keep emailibg in acomplaint to this company & i get the same autimated email back. Then it states its been delivered & it has not. Then they send me a link with my order number & it takes you a delivery website for shipping out of China. So this makes the 3rd company with the same shipping delivery sight with 3 of my orders listed stating shipped or delivered or both. I still do not have my items or my money refunded.

I was scrolling through Instagram when I saw an ad from Musicians Friend highlighting 4th of July deals. I clicked on the ad and was brought to what appeared to bethe Musicians Friend website. It looked identical, colors, filters, even sale amounts and accurate product pricing. I choose items, places them in a cart, and checked out using PayPal. I entered my phone, email, and home address. The website contained a secure site logo that when clicked brought me to googles site assuring me that this was a secure site. I made the payment and promptly received a payment confirmation from PayPal. The payment however was made to LAURIE SMITH not Musicians Friend. I have not yet received order and product confirmation from the music store. Sadly I was scammed.

Online Purchase

Testerup.com is advertising as a website to get paid playing games and doing other tasks. I signed up and downloaded my first game. On the website it says if you make in game purchases it will help you progress more. I made purchases but I didn’t see any of my progress being tracked on the website. So I attempted another game. Same outcome. I reached out to support and explained the situation even screen recorded proof. They told me I must have not used the link directly from their website or had already downloaded those games before but I did confirm I used the link and never downloaded the game before visiting their website. I then uploaded proof showing my App Store which shows when I downloaded those apps but they basically told me that there’s nothing they can do.

I was contacted via email by one ana browning, attorney. She said she was representing a personal loan company, Fineday Funds, whom I owed and that I could pay my remaining balance at a discount if I would make payments. I made two payments but kept getting calls from Fineday Funds. I texted Ms Brown and inquired about why this was happening when I was making payments. She then became agitated and all correspondence ceased.
