Home Improvement - Hoyt's Painting

Shad Hoyt came over to give me a bid to paint the exterior of my house & showed me professional quotes. He wanted $1527.00 upfront to put me next on his schedule & so I wrote him a check for $1527.00 which he cashed the same day. He never showed up to do any of the work I paid him for & completely scammed me out of money for a job he never even started.

My husband has type 2 diabetes and has to prick his finger twice a day to monitor his blood glucose level. When we saw the add for a Zakdavi GlucoseSense Laser Blood Glucose Monitoring Device we thought it was something my husband could use to help him. There was all kinds of false reviews. The add said there was a 100% money back guarantee. What was sent was nothing but a cheap oximeter, nothing that was advertised. When I printed off the receipt it didn’t give a phone number or even an address of a business. However, by that time it was to late because I bought it with my credit card and they had me.

I saw an add on Facebook for beautiful summer dresses from Charleston Boutique in Charleston, South Carolina. I clicked on the website and everything looked like it was from a real store. They offered a 30-day ''no hassle" money back guarantee, and I purchased a dress on 7/21 with my American Express card for $59.95. I received the dress on 8/1, and as several other reports indicate, I was disappointed in the quality. In addition, the dress did not fit well and did not have a label or tags. I contacted the store immediately by email (there were no phone numbers provided) to request either a return label or address details to return the dress. They replied almost instantaneously, which made me a bit suspicious, indicating the high cost involved in making a return ($25. to $55. in transportation charges and $28. to $78. in customs clearance fees). As such, they advised me to keep the dress offering a 25% cash back partial return or 50% store credit on a future purchase. I replied declining the offer and indicating I would further look for references on their business practices with the BBB. The dress was delivered in a plain plastic envelop with the following return address: 182-30 150th Rd, Jamaica, NY 11413 (https://gofoexpress.com). After seeing that there are 9 reported scam incidents involving this fake store, it is probably not a coincidence that soon after this purchase, I was contacted by Amex to inform me of several fraudulent charges on my account, which are under their investigation.

This website came up on google search of "Renew US Passport". I was fooled by the official look and tone of the website. They were collecting all the information for passport renewal. They asked for a great deal of information that I did not recall giving ten years ago, but I thought the process may have changed under Trump. Info such as spouse date and place of birth, marriage date, parents names and birthdates. They also asked for my ss number. I only realized the scam when everything printed and showed that $130 fee still needed to be paid to the government. I will try to cancel the payment tomorrow, but of course it is my personal data that I foolishly have given to god knows who.

I ordered a koala bear that is supposed to have AI movements that move when you move. What I got was a stuffed animal for $80. When I contacted the company about this, they claimed I bought the basic version not the real one and I replied and showed them that on their website there is no option for a basic version just small or large and I bought a large. Once they confirmed yes you got the wrong thing. They offered to send me a return label, but I have to pay for the shipping all the way back to the UK and then they would give me a full refund. They claim that’s on the website and nowhere on the website. Does it say the customer would be responsible for the payment of shipping. I screenshot it it and told them I said, and then I said if this is on your website, please show it to me and they have yet to answer. They have argued with me back-and-forth that this is just a basic version. It’s a stuffed animal. Why would a basic stuffed animal cost $80? That’s ridiculous. They are refusing to work with me or give me a refund or pay for the shipping to return it back.

I contacted them right away through email (the only source of contact they offer) and 20 emails later, I'm not any where closer to receiving my money back. They offered a replacement but I needed to pay the $9.99 s&h, then they offered 10% back, they offered a $ voucher to their store but not once have they offered to stand by their policy of "refund within 30 days" or "if received damaged item, shipping cost is not customers responsibility". I looked the company up online and see others have had the same experiences and the store is said to be suspicious as well as using customers personal information for other things.

Upon searching the internet for the company, another was found with a similar name of Portland Leather Goods that actually appeared in the Sponsored search result, where Portland Leather Sale was not found at all. The certificates from the website showed that it was made only a few weeks prior and GoDaddy WhoIs showed that matching address and phone number as this scam.
