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.

I was put into a group chat with other Americans with New York state area codes (914). Although, usually it is only one person texting me to send this scam. ---- New York Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) Final Compliance Reminder: After verification by the system, you have an unpaid traffic ticket. If you fail to complete the payment before July 10, 2025, the ticket will be officially filed as a traffic violation record by the system, and the following consequences will occur: 1. Your current vehicle registration status will be suspended, making it impossible to conduct annual inspections, transfer ownership, and registration renewal operations. 2. Your New York driver's license will be revoked or frozen, and continued driving will constitute an illegal act and may face law enforcement penalties. 3. The record will be uploaded to the national DMV data platform, and other states may impose restrictions on your driving or vehicle registration qualifications based on this. 4. The system will automatically calculate late payment fees, administrative fees, and court enforcement fees, and the total bill will continue to rise. Please be sure to complete the payment before the deadline to ensure your legal driving qualifications and avoid additional legal liabilities.
