Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Publishers Clearing House Imposter Scam

My 96 year old father received an manila envelope in the mail with no return address and Canadian postage. His full name and address was on a white peel and stick label. Inside was a check from Bridgecrest Acceptance Corporation, Attn: Accounts Payable, 1720 W Rio Salado Pkwy, Suite 101, Tempe, AZ 85281 written off a Wells Fargo Bank for $8800.50. The check looked quite legitimate. The letter was from Publisher's Clearing House and had logos from Walmart, JCPenney, AG Insurance, Mega Millions and Readers Digest. It indicated he had won a $2.5M prize. It instructed him to contact the Claim Manager without delay BEFORE depositing the check at his financial institution and for further information on the prize. Tel # 1-519-901-5390. Security Code PCH-404p99gC. The letter also indicated he was precluded from discussing his win with third parties. He called the number on the letter and they asked him for his name and security code then instructed him to cash the check as quickly as possible then call them back. Fortunately he did share the information with me before attempting to cash the check. I'm sure they would have asked him to return some money to collect the rest of his prize.

Online Purchase - Online Retail Scam

I had ordered a 2 in 1 nail trimmer/grinder for my dog. It was $** and some change. It took a few weeks to get here and as soon as I got it I couldn’t wait to try it out. It wouldn’t come on so I figured it needed to be charged so I charged it for 5 hours and tried again. Still nothing…the lights wouldn’t come on and the grinder would move. I emailed the company and at first they offered me $2, I told them that was a insult that it wouldn’t even pay for the gas there and back. Then they ask me to send a video of what it was doing…I attached the video, how can you show what it’s doing when it’s literally doing nothing. Sent them the video and they said that it was working properly and offered me $5. Working properly when it’s doing nothing. I told them this is ** and I was gonna expose them for the scammers that they are.

The name on the package was Gethers Hoyts address 3711 S. Ashland Ave Chicago, Illinois which if Googled comes back as an Institute for Maintenance https://aviationmaintenance.edu/campuses/chicago-il/. And he gonna tell me that the highest he can offer me is $7 and that they sent what I ordered and told him no they didn’t because what I ordered worked. And this was they last message to me: We feel sorry for not meeting your requirements perfectly. The products we sent to you are indeed mailed according to the products you ordered, I can only do my best to fight for compensation for you. Now this result is the result of my communication with multiple staff members. Don't you really think about it again? Thank you for your understanding and wish you a happy life! Yours sincerely, Customer Service Team It wouldn’t let me post the video but this is what the address comes up as.

I ordered a pair of US size 14 (EU size 49) shoes from EnJerr https://www.enjerr.com/ When they arrived, it was clear that they were not a US size 14 even though they were marked as EU 49. The website has all 5 star reviews and claims 100% refund or replacement if you aren't satisfied. I sent a picture of them next to a pair of size 14 Rockport shoes. The length is about an inch shorter. I also sent all the other information they requested, but all they offered was a 15% discount on my next pair and then a 20% refund with a 10% discount. They say it would be too expensive and risky to return them to Hong Kong, but they were mailed from California.

The letter had the year, make and model of the vehicle and the VIN. I contacted the dealership from where the lease was with and they confirmed my service contract was still in effect and that the letter was fraudulent and other customers were receiving the same letter. When I called the number on the letter, the individuals were very belligerent and when I asked legitimate questions in regards to the letter they immediately hung up the phone.

I ordered a dress from the company Madison Clarke. Which from their website appeared to be a Canadian company, formed in Vancouver. I was dismayed when tracking information showed originating in China. When I received the dress it was poor quality, not as represented on the site and not even close to the size I ordered. I have asked for a return address, which I understand will be at my expense. They offered instead 30% back and keep the dress. I have emailed again asking for the return address, knowing that if it is in China the cost of return with tracking will be more than the item is worth and will not get there in 30 days from receipt. They have not replied. I’ve explored various platforms and this company is not Canadian. They should not represent themselves as such.
