Online Purchase - Online Purchase

While watching something online, an ad popped up. It was a video about earning $ remotely by working with YouTube and its advertisers. The video explained how the remote platform worked and why YouTube was willing to pay people for participating in various market research. It all sounded completely realistic and within reason. In order to keep people from abusing their system by making up a bunch of fake accounts, they charge what they promised was fully refunded later, a $24.00 fee to register/ start earning. They state that once you start working with them, that $24 is refunded. I took a chance and paid with my credit card the $24. As soon as I did, the screen jumped to an information page about what exactly to do next. At the bottom of the page I clicked next and then my screen went blank. Dummy me should have researched this company prior, but I foolishly didn't. Online, Facebook, and on Instagram, there are hundreds of people complaining that Hotmart not only scammed them about the $24, but then continued to charge their credit cards random amounts without authorization by the customer involved. Immediately, I longed into my account and sure enough, Hotmart had charged me the $24 and a 2nd fee of $12.90 that I did not authorize. I called my bank and canceled my credit card. As soon as the pending charges go through, I'll be disputing them.

Worthless Problem-solving Service

I work in a supermarket flower shop Tuesday (7/8/2025) we get a call from a repeat caller (came through caller ID as a local hospital) wanting to place a delivery, and upon transferring them to the office to pay, they disconnect. I call them back an hour later, and the person left the office, but would call me back. When they called, she said that she needed to get more money on her card and would call the next day. I have yet to hear from them, and their calls come through as local hospitals and churches. They have used 3 different call back numbers so far (855)-874-4763, (424)-230-8357, and (424)-274-7030.

Online Purchase

I placed an order through the website LabuBoxes and received a fake tracking number that never showed any valid shipping activity. When I contacted the company to cancel the order and request a refund, they refused. As a result, I contacted my bank and filed a chargeback for the transaction. Since then, the company has repeatedly emailed me asking that I cancel the chargeback before they will either ship the order or issue a refund — which is not standard or trustworthy business practice. After researching the company, I discovered multiple reports from other customers stating similar issues: fake tracking, no delivery, and pressure to cancel chargebacks. I believe this is a fraudulent operation and should be investigated.

Andy and Richard calling to offer me up to 10,000 loan , one said 6.5% interest the other said 7%. I tried to give them my online banking information for deposit, which was an old empty account I was giving them. When I told them Venmo, they either hung up or said they want a normal bank like Wells Fargo or BOA. I told them I only do online banking. They kept hanging up. I called them back numerous times. They would answer hello. When I ask for one by name, they would pass the call to the other. This was supposed to be a large company in Brooklyn, NY. The last time I called they said,”oh, you said your bank was Venmo.” I had not given the bank name on that particular call. They also had foreign accents, East Indian? If this was a large company, you should not be able to call directly in, much less keep getting the same person. And they were not calling from an 800 number.

Investment - Real Estate Fraud

In October 2021, I entered into a written mobile home purchase agreement with Maria Rita Martinez, who claimed to be the legal owner of a mobile home located in Greeley, Colorado. She accepted a $5,000 deposit and then collected $550 monthly payments from me for 41 months, totaling $27,550. She assured me I would receive the title once the balance was paid. All payments were made in good faith. I also went through the formal park application and background check process and believed I was the legal leaseholder. I later discovered that Maria had intentionally kept herself listed as the primary tenant on the lease without my knowledge, giving herself legal control while collecting money from me and exposing me to housing instability. In 2025, I attempted to sell the home and discovered Maria never had legal ownership. The home was still under the name of a third party, Christopher Lee, who had a separate contract with Elizabeth Haggins — Maria’s daughter. I have a copy of a check made out directly to Elizabeth early in the transaction that she cashed and reinforces her knowledge me about the situation. Based on this, it appears the property was never paid off or legally transferred between parties Christopher Lee himself still owes that same property to a mortgage company so legally nobody had the right to sell me this home, and I was misled from the beginning. When I questioned the situation, Maria became hostile and threatened to charge me back taxes and interest. While I was relocating some of my belongings to a different state (having left someone in charge of the home), Maria entered the property without legal eviction, changed locks, and reclaimed control. She then placed a “For Sale” sign on the property and appeared to be preparing to sell it again. Additionally, the written agreement Maria Martinez provided falsely stated that the mobile home was a 2018 model, when the vin number later confirmed it is a 2016. This false representation of a key detail further misled us and may have affected the value, resale potential, and legal enforceability of the contract. This raises serious concerns about deceptive practices toward consumers. Maria Martinez also referred to as: Maria Rita Botello, Rita Martinez, Maria Botello, Rita Botello, Maria Martinez, Maria Rita Martinez, and may go by other informal or alias names in her dealings. Elizabeth Haggins also referred to as Elizabeth Higgins, Elizabeth Martinez, Elizabeth Haggis. Any aliases used are being reported to help prevent further confusion or misrepresentation. I have lost over $59,000 in total, including payments, lot rent, renovations, and a blocked home sale. I am pursuing legal action and reporting this in good faith to prevent this from happening to anyone else. I believe this was a pattern of coordinated misrepresentation between both Maria Martinez and Elizabeth Haggins.

Rental - Property Rental Scam

I came across a TikTok user named (safecreditclub IamFatima), who promotes a business offering subleasing services for rental properties, targeting individuals with less than perfect credit. She claimed her business was legal, and that she could assist people in securing rental housing through her subleasing program for a fee of $850. I paid her the full amount with the understanding that she would assist me in securing a rental property. However, after I submitted my payment, she provided no further communication or assistance. Shortly thereafter, she blocked me on TikTok, cutting off all contact. She never delivered any services as promised and offered no explanation or refund. I now believe this to be a scam targeting vulnerable renters, especially those who may be struggling with credit issues.

Advance Fee Loan

I tried to apply online for a loan.  I got a call from this Advance America loan company imposter from Matt Morgan at 312-566-7167.  He said that in order to get my credit score up, I would have to pay him $299 and then he would give me the loan.  So I knew it was a scam and called the BBB.  I'm tired of people being taken by these scammers.
