Online Purchase - Economicalk

I ordered a father's day gift for my child's father off of a Instagram ad and it was coming from Ireland. I kept getting updated emails from them with a weird tracking number. It was supposed to be here by Fathers Day and it still isn't here. I kept asking them when it was coming and they reassured me that It was expedited shipping... so as soon as I asked for a return and a refund they stopped answering my emails completely. On their website it states a refund must be started in 30 days. Well now 30 days is up and I have no product, they took my money, and now I can't do anything about it.

Also, the email had a "Joseph King, Senior Collections Manager, National Toll authority, [email protected], 1-800-TOLLPAY" I am sure this is a scam as I have not driven through any tolls and area where I live there are none.

Counterfeit Product - Labubu Counterfeit Scam

The scam began with an Instagram ad promoting collectible vinyl products under the name “Labubu,” featuring high-quality visuals, authentic-looking branding, and steep discounts (up to 50% off), alongside bundle offers like “buy two, get one free.” The ad linked to a website called LaboubooOfficial.com.co, which convincingly mimicked the legitimate Labubu brand — including identical logos, icons, and overall design — leading me to believe it was an official store. I placed an order for three complete blind box sets, but the shipment arrived with only two of the three items, and the received products were damaged and counterfeit. Adding to the suspicion, the website listed a return address of 31 Sutton's Lane, Piscataway, NJ, yet my billing records showed the transaction originating from 30 North Gould Street, Sheridan, WY — a mismatch that further supports the fraudulent nature of the operation. This entire experience has made it clear that the website and associated advertisement were part of a scam designed to mislead customers with illegitimate merchandise and false storefront claims.

Duda Fur Pug Babies had a 11 week old pug puppy named pickles up for adoption. The price was $600.00 plus shipping for 150.00 plus delivery for 50.00. The shipper is Global Wings Logistics Group also known as GWT Express. They emailed asking for 1,380.00 for a temperature controlled crate for the puppy as the crate the breeder used wasn’t compliant for the shipping. They said it was 100% refundable. They emailed again later that day saying that we needed pet insurance for the puppy and it was $1,900.00 and that was refundable. They said later that the puppy missed his flight and wouldn’t be here and be be on the next flight the next day. The next day in the morning they emailed saying that the puppy would be on his way. A few minutes later they emailed again saying that they need $2,443.00 to transfer ownership of the puppy from the breeder to us. They are scamming people and not delivering the puppy as promised. It heartbreaking and sick what has been done.The breeder was contacted and asked for a refund, but no response.
