Online Purchase

On July 17, 2025, I completed a wire transfer for $4,965.00 to what I believed was a legitimate business, TP Containers, for the purchase of a Black Anvil 7x16 enclosed trailer with 84” interior height. The invoice came from a representative named Ernest Kobus, who listed a business address in Aransas Pass, TX and sent correspondence from an email address ending in @tpcontainers.com. After submitting payment, I received confirmation that the transfer went through to a company called First Choice Cargo LLC—a name that was never mentioned in the invoice, quote, or communication. When I researched further, I discovered that TP Containers appears to have no legitimate online presence: • Their website links lead to inactive or placeholder social media accounts. • Their Twitter account is suspended. • Their Pinterest, TikTok, and YouTube accounts have no content or followers. • The business address listed is not traceable to a verified physical storefront. Since payment, I have not received any shipment updates, confirmation of receipt, or follow-up communication, despite reaching out multiple times. I now believe this may be a scam operation, and I have filed a dispute with my bank and am reporting this activity for investigation. I am devastated, as this was a significant business purchase for a project that I worked hard to fund. I am submitting this complaint to alert others and to request investigation into this potentially fraudulent business. All documentation is available upon request, including the invoice, payment receipt, and correspondence.

I placed a large order on TikTok. They had some beautiful items for good prices. I’ve purchased many products on TikTok before never had any issues. Well I waited for a month never got a tracking number so I emailed the company and they sent me a tracking number that said my Package left china on one date and was delivered to U.S my address 3 days later. I emailed them back and said there’s no way my package left the facility in china and was delivered to me 3 days later . That’s when I knew I wasn’t getting my products. They told me they would reship the items. Waited another month and they repeated the process. I never received my items. I then requested a refund. They sent an email saying it would take 15-25 days to get it. Well that was 5 months ago I email them once a month now asking for my money back and they continue to say due to how busy the banks are it may take longer and to be patient. I’ve asked for a customer service number several times and they will not provide one to me. SMH. TikTok should vet the company’s they allow to sell on their app I really thought they did.

I called a Customer Service phone # thinking I was speaking to a Booking.com agent. My flight was booked for the wrong day and I was calling to change the date. The rep took my info and read back my original booking. The cost to rebook was going to be high but I was desperate and I'm certain the person knew it. He had an Indian accent and was very kind on the phone assuring me that he could get be booked and home. I gave a credit card # and the email I received was from FlightTicketDesk.com. The reps keep up the con of letting you know it's being worked on. They have a website and a Philadelphia, PA address. I called two additional times and each time was assured it was coming but changing a flight takes extra time in order to reach the 2 airlines involved. The ticket never arrived but they tried to call me at 12:40am the night before the flight they were supposedly booking, which I'm sure was going to be an upsell for more money. The charges went through on my credit card on the 3rd day. I cancelled that card so they can't use it but they have my name, phone# & address. It's next to impossible to find a number to call for the actual Booking.com company so if you're looking and one pops up high in the search, it's almost certainly one of these scam 3rd party so-called Flight Help Desk companies.

I saw an Ad on YouTube for an astrology questionnaire. I answered the questionnaire and was told $1 was for review/results. I paid through PayPal and then saw an option for $29.99, monthly option, but no thank you! I never received an initial review either. Next day I saw $1 and $29.99 "recurring monthly subscription" charge on PayPal. Initiated PayPal dispute and changed passwords. Received a "Your bank denied payment" email the next day. Checked bank and no email was sent. Interestingly, the email disappeared from history! Checked online reviews for nebula and asknebula sites (which I should have done before clicking the Ad). Multiple negative reviews for similar situations. Contacted nebula customer service and have been in continuous circle of responses. They want me to click a link stating that issue was resolved. I continue to respond stating that I did not knowingly accept additional service. They're claiming that "their system processed an up-sell service" and no further monthly charges would occur. Saw somewhere that they're claiming to be from Ibiza?? Be careful! Have been reporting Ad whenever seen.

Fake Check/Money Order

I subscribed to this website in order to view ads and earn money for each ad I watched. However, the site required me to reach $80 before I could withdraw the money. It allowed me to view only 5 ads per day, with each ad earning around 50 cents, and sometimes only 25 cents. After working daily for about a month and reaching $55, the site suddenly changed the value of each ad to just $0.0025 — meaning I would need to work every day for 4 more years to reach the $80 threshold! I want to report this scam website that has wasted my time and effort

I ordered the Nutr Ultra - Nut Milk Maker (Family Size) 1200ml/40 OZ on April 27, 2025 and paid $109.65. On May 5, 2025 I received my order with no faceplate on it to tell me what or where the settings are. I have emailed the company 2 times at [email protected] and have posted my concerns on their official Facebook page to receive the face plate and then asked for a refund. There has been no response. The name of the company is The Nutr. They give their city as Los Angeles, CA but after doing an internet research the only street address I could find is in Galena, Ohio. Their phone number is no longer in service.

This "boutique" does not honor refunds. Although their website clearly states that they will return and refund within 7 days of delivery. They use what appears to be an AI customer service email and offer back $7 refund, instead of the return unused clothing, they also claimed I needed to provide them with pictures of how the clothes didn't fit. There is NO phone number with which to contact them directly, only the email address.
