Home Improvement - Stringer and Weaver Construction LLC

I reached out to a general contracting business. Daniel Stringer, and Arthur Kenneth Weaver, are the owners. While Leo Thomas was their project manager. They quoted doing a screened in porch on my home for $20,000 and I paid $9,000 up front. They showed up and demoed my existing porch and left the debris piled up in my front and back yard. The wood has rusty nails and screws sticking out everywhere, its highly unsafe. They then gave me the run around for 2 months. Now they have gone quiet, and shut down their website. I found out they were operating on a suspended GC license. These men are con artists and should be avoided at all costs.

Family/Friend Emergency

Somebody randomly texted my phone” come to my house for dinner”. I recognized that it was a strange number just like it was two weeks prior and the person said that they were from Los Angeles and they met me at somebody’s house that was two weeks ago today I said yes I’m your friend just to see what would happen and then they said no we’re not friends. I made a mistake but we can be friend” They tried to pull some weird mind trick. Like they thought they had somebody that was I guess super lonely. This has been happening to my phone a lot over the past year and half. It used to just be emails but now it’s emails and texts to my phone number. Usually it’ll come through as an email for a job opportunity. That’s too good to be true so I guess when they figured I’m not gonna fall for that then they started trying to text my phone. Now I have text messages in my phone that were sent from strange numbers talking about this great job that is too good to be true. These people need to be prosecuted to the furthest extent possible the max sentence that is the only way this is going to stop.

Retail Business - Heather Anne Photography

A local photographer named Heather Anne Photography, in Minnesota, was running a promotion on her Facebook page for a stock your studio session for $135, which I paid, where you could purchase an outfit for her studio and in return she would photograph my infant in it. When I went to schedule said session she remarked she was booked out and to check back at a later date. By June (five months later) I emailed her again to let her know my daughter would no longer fit the outfit and if I could receive a refund. She claimed this would be unfair to other clients and offered no alternative to remedy said situation despite taking my money. At this point she stopped responding to all communications from me going forward. In July she was running another promotion for a mini shoot at the local county fair via her Facebook page. I purchased another session for $350 and planned to address the initial $135 stock your studio session at that time. The morning of that shoot she canceled due to weather, and when I inquired about alternatives or a potential refund, all messages went unanswered. Again. After further research, it seems this is a systemic issue across her business with evidentiary support showing multiple clients lamenting similar issues in the comment sections. Paying for a photo shoot and receiving no responses when contacting her to schedule said shoot. All the while she continues to post content and promotions for deals including, but not limited to, another stock your studio session despite never completing mine 8 months ago. I believe this is less an instance of poor business practices and potentially more so crossing into fraudulent territory. I have also filed a formal complaint with the FTC Fraud Division.

Employment

I was first contacted by text. Which I put yes to a lot of companies on Indeed that they can contact me via text. The lady asked if I was interested in the position and that she will connect me to their HR manager for an interview. I said yes. I wondered who they were because I didn't remember applying to them, but I applied to over 50 jobs, so I said I might have and just forgot or something. The lady Renee Kordas (HR manager) connected with me on Microsoft Teams for the interview. It has a picture and everything for her contact in Teams. So, I looked her up on Facebook and the pictures matched so I went ahead with the interview. she stated that should send all my info and interview answers to the Director of HR for review and that I would have a meeting on 08/21/2025 at 8am EST I never got that call for the meeting, so I assumed I didn't get the job. then at 9am she messaged me via teams to say I had gotten the job and for me to fill out the I-9 form along with signing the offer letter. So, I thought everything was good. Then she connected me with my training manager Robert Crull. We started talking and going over everything. then it started to seem fishy. He told me that they would send me a check to deposit into my bank account so that I could purchase the necessary work equipment i needed to preform my job duties. I thought to myself I thought companies sent the equipment to you or you used your own personnel computer printer headset etc. He gave me a long list of items that I would be ordering with the money and sent an 8k check via email to me. At this point I told them I would not be doing that. Called my bank to see if they have ever heard of that and they said no that it was a scam and to not deposit the check. i told him this and he got upset and telling my just because my bank isn't familiar with their process doesn't mean it isn't on the up and up. I told him that i wouldn't be moving forwarded and that was that. I filled out the I-9 form, and I fill so stupid that I did that. Had all my info on there. But no bank account info. just a picture they asked for of a badge/id and my ssn#. I have had to put a fraud alert on my credit report just in case. This is crazy that people do this. All the red flags were there., Something told me to look up the address on the offer letter and the building was for sale. but then I called the number, and it was a real business. But I should have known anyways. I even asked it they could send the check via mail, and they said they couldn't do that. What business just prints checks in 5 minutes and sends then via email. IF we call could do that, I think we would. the check didn't have any of the stub info checks usually have either. PLEASE be aware and do not fall for this scam. all of this was through Teams chat so i could upload the actual chat thread. But i have her picture. the guy didnt have a picture on his profile just a email. [email protected]

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - travel

Company Farehutz.com is a flight booker that lists unavailable flights on Trivago at the lowest price. As soon as you book the flight they post it as “Booking in Process” and don’t give you a confirmation number instead say they will send you an email. The email says they need you to call and they begin calling you multiple times within a few minutes of the transaction telling you the flight is not available, it’s a bait and switch, they never had the flight available they posted. They will try to argue with you and give you a bunch of “other deals” that are two or three times as much, the person I spoke to had a strong Indian accent and you could hear other people in bull pen in the background. The Farehutz guy kept trying to argue with me and convince me to buy a higher flight from them, he even said I couldn’t cancel or get a refund for the $241 I had paid. Due to this I hung up called my bank immediately and closed my debit card I had used, Farehutz continued to try and spam call me then a day later sent an email that my flight was canceled and I wouldn’t be charged. I then went on Priceline and directly booked this flight for $251.00 DONT USE TRIVAGO they don’t screen their companies they allow to participate and DONT USE FAREHUTZ IR FAREHUTZ.COM

Retail Business - Malama State Tax Services

I hired a someone to do my business monthly bookkeeping, GE tax filing, payroll, and tax filing. After about 5 months, communication became an issue. I could not contact her for 2 weeks and after becoming worried I went to check all of my accounts and saw no work had been done and GE taxes were not filed. When finally getting in touch, she claimed to have been in the hospital and would get back to me once discharged. When she got home, I asked why no work had been done and then that day she went on to ask me many questions to catch herself up and by the end of day, months worth of work was magically done. I requested a refund as I felt she did not hold up her end of the agreement and she denied me multiple times and never took accountability for anything. I even expressed how just letting me know she was ill and in the hospital would have been appropriate and she did not acknowledge that. I just recovered from paying late fees and penalties for the work she neglected to do.

Once I received them, they were in the incorrect size (I orderd XL, got 3XL) and they looked nothing like the product on the website When I reached out to return, they claimed that it would cost just as much as i purchased the item to return (which makes no sense, that would mean they made almost no profit on my order), and offered a 20% return with a $20 gift card for my next purchase. Also claimed even though they "never do this" that they would allow me to keep the clothing. I don't want the clothing, I just want my money back.

Ordered 2 window ac units on the 4th. Order supposedly shipped on the 5th. Said 12 business days. Shipping policies states it could take longer depending on orders coming in to just customs/weather/etc. Thought that was kind of odd to specify business day. Yet I let it be because some companies are just like that with their wording. Received a tracking URL by text which the tracking was through Shopify. It kept telling me it was shipped and stayed on that. Shrugged it off due to some stuff that I have order in the past, with other websites/businesses, has done that to me. Frustrating but kind of normal for me. By Tuesday (8-19-25) I went in and still said the same thing and no new updates. Flash to today, I can’t get into the tracking URL. I can’t get into the homepage of the business. Giving me an error of ‘can’t establish secure connection to the server’. I tried WiFi, I tried cellular, I tried cellular in multiple spots and 2 other towns (had to run errands). Each time, same thing for both tracking and normal website. I made the mistake of not having updates sent to my email due to me not thinking. Usually text works and I don’t need a backup. I disputed the charge on my account due to relooking at all the reviews. The reviews that I seen today, many people have the same issue. Along with these weren’t the reviews I have seen until after I made the purchase and went to go look at the reviews again to see if I missed anything. They weren’t never there. Maybe a couple of 3 stars. Yet, it had to deal with how they thought about whatever they got. Not being scammed or close to it.

Foreign Money Exchange - Foreign Money Exchange - Inheritance - Robert McCoy Law Firm

I received a letter in the mail reportedly from "Robert McCoy Law Firm" in Ontario, Canada, stating that there is an unclaimed "permanent life insurance policy" saving monetary deposit in the sum of $12,810,900.00 left by a policy holder who was one of their clients, the "late Eric ****" who was a "real estate developer and investor in Canada who died in an accident on Highway 400 by Barrie, Ontario, six years ago. The letter states no one has come forward for the claim and that the unclaimed policy must be turned over to the abandoned property division of the state after 6 years. The letter requests partnership with me to claim this policy benefit, "in view of the striking similarity in same last name and nationality with the deceased" (my last name is ****, a very common name). The letter indicates that 10% of this money should go to charitable organizations while the "remaining 90% will be shared between us." The letter lists the name and website of a seemingly legitimate law firm: Robert McCoy Law Firm, www.robertmccoyllp.com. On visiting the website, I found that the contact information for their legal team is different than the email provided in the letter. The letter lists an email contact of [email protected], which is different than what is listed by the website. The letter also does NOT include a phone number. This was clearly a scam, but also a very enticing prospect for those who are unaware. I did not attempt to make contact.

Online Purchase - Product Not Received/No Refund

According to the website, I ordered a book about the Bible. I completed the order info and they asked for my shipping address. I paid through PayPal and soon received an email with a link that said "Dwoanload Link." Noting that it was spelled wrong, I email back, with a request about the book I ordered. They replied that it was an eBook and I only needed to click the link. There was no indication that the book was an eBook and would not be physically shipped anywhere on the website or during the ordering process. The website indicates in multiple places that there is a return policy and I followed each of the steps accurately, with denial that I could get a refund. I asked 2 times for a refund and made them aware through screenshots attached that they misrepresented themselves, the book, and the order. I have had no response. After an extensive investigation, I can see that the company is a scam. They have been reported on several sites (see attached and links). The address they use at Sheridan, WY is linked to many scams.

Phishing - Phishing Calls

Almost daily for the past 2 months I have been receiving phone calls for what I am sure is a loan phishing scam. The voicemail recording is always cut off at the beginning so the name of the company and/or the name of the woman calling that is the "lender" is unknown. I have sent many of the recordings and reported the different phone numbers used to the ******* SPAM contact, but it has not slowed down the constant almost daily phone calls with this scam. Sometimes this call is identified as potential spam by the ******* spam filter, but sometimes it is not. It is the exact same woman's voice on every recorded message and a different incoming phone number every time and various call back numbers. 8/21/225 voicemail message left from phone number 445-317-2046 states "......August 20th and I wanted to follow-up with you, I've already tried reaching out a few times but we haven't been able to connect yet. Your file has been reviewed and it is very close to being finalized. We just need to verify with you a couple of details, mainly to verify the information we have on file is current. You can also update quickly through the loan portal. If you've got a moment now press 2 to connect with me or someone on the review team. The approval window is closing soon and while you can always apply later I would like to get it wrapped up now while everything is still in motion. Again press 2 now, or call us at 866-878-6902 to stop future updates press 7" 8/20/2025 received a similar message from 445-317-8290 with the same woman's voice with a message stating "....let you know we've been reviewing your file and it is almost finalized. We only have a couple of details left to confirm, mostly income information. You can also complete this quickly online through the loan portal. Once that's done, we'll be able to move things forward right away. If you're available now press 1 to connect with me or someone from our review team. Otherwise you can call us direct at 844-986-8500 and we'll walk you through the last steps. If you prefer to not get follow-ups simply press 7." 8/18/2025 received the following from 719-819-4109 "...and I just wanted to check in. Your file has already been reviewed and it is very close to being finalized. The only things left are quick verifications: mainly income confirmation which can also be taken care of online through the portal. If you'd like to wrap this up now you can press 1 to connect with me or someone from our team. Or if it's easier just call us back at 855-768-9910. To stop future messages simply press 7." 8/16/2025 received the following from 858-868-9578 "... the funding review department. Today is Saturday, August 16th and I just wanted to check in before the weekend. We have been reviewing your file and it's almost finalized.

Once more, to move forward press zero now or call us at 833-727-9960.

If you've got a minute or have any questions press 2 now to connect to the underwriting, or if it's easier you can always call us back at 888-919-6110. To stop getting updates or to opt out just press 9." 8/8/2025 from 618-467-1903 I received the same message I got on 8/11/2025"...to go over your application and you're really close to being fully approved. There is a consolidation option on the table that could go up to $40,000 depending on the final details.

To opt out of future calls press 9." 7/31/2025 from number 878-870-9703 received the same exact recorded message that was received on 8/1/2025 "....voicemail and sent a text last week but I haven't heard back so I just wanted to follow-up personally.

There were many calls and voicemails left in July 2025 - all of them similar to the 2 received on 7/31/2025 and 8/1/2025 stating that the offer was to expire at the end of July. It is more than half way through August now and the messages clearly did not stop at the end of July.
