Online Purchase

I saw on FB an advertisement for a clearance sale of chicken coops. It stated that they were affiliated with Costco and other companies that were getting rid of their old product and I purchased 2 and never received them for 2 months now. I tracked it and they wanted me to pay for tracking and to speak to an expert.

Counterfeit Product

I saw an advertisement on Facebook on swimsuits by the company SheCurve. They claim to be a company based out of Denver CO. After I had made my purchase, I received tracking information in Chinese and found that it was coming from Hong Kong. I received my purchase about a month and half after I placed my order. The quality of the swimsuits are cheap and look/fit nothing like advertised. There is not phone number to contact, only email. They take at least two days to respond. Their return policy on their website states that you may receive a full refund if returned within 30 days from receiving the order. I contacted them right away, every time I get the same generated response stating I have two option. 1- keep the item +get 50% of voucher 2-keep the item+receive partial $30 refund Either way no return needed….. I also found that it states on there website you can return the item if you pay for shipping, which will cost a lot to return back to Hong Kong and stated that when they receive the return items they might refund your money. I spent $126.35 for a product that doesn’t work and can’t return. I feel robbed of my money. I called my credit card company that I used to make this purchase to change my card number. I was really concerned about this company having my car information. This business is an absolute scam and I hope others don’t fall for it.

I was offered a job interview via chat on the signal app and I was almost immediately hired after chatting for a few hours and then I was doing some research and this has been a scam in the past where the scammers use the signal app with the same business to scam others of a job. I have been offered to have a check sent to me to get supplies to work from home but others have stated it never arrived and if it did the check bounced and or sent via email a photo of the check to do mobile banking deposits. The company does not have any job listings for a remote chat assistant job and they state that it thier emails will only come from two specific places which is not the case for me and it came from another email. I emailed to company directly to see if this is legit but I do not want to proceed further with this chat conversation.

I’ve been submitting applications for various jobs looking for a second income. I was contacted by someone from a company called wda auto here is the link for the dashboard https://wdaautovpoet.cc/#/my and it seemed to be a company that submits reviews for products and offers commission to do so. Simple tasks, hitting a start and then submit button over and over. You are allowed to complete 3 sets of tasks (each set containing 40 items) a day. Here’s the clincher. In order to move onto the next set of tasks after finishing your first set, you have to have a $100 balance in your “work wallet” this means you have to deposit your own money to reach that amount to continue to work. THEN in order to withdrawal your earnings, your wallet also must be at $100. But, it seems that on your 3rd set of tasks, you get hung up on an order. They tell you it is a “lucky order” that people RARELY get, but that order makes your work wallet balance go into a high negative balance, like -$300.00, and they tell you that you must deposit $300 of YOUR OWN money to clear that negative balance, THEN you can get paid your commission on those jobs and cash out your daily pay. In the end after putting in your own money, if you’re thinking about it and calculating… you only walk away with about $20 for doing a days work. Major scam.

Phishing - Vehicle Services Division and Home Warranty Division

I received mail every month from home warranty division, and also from vehicle services division. They say that this is their final attempt each time. I have called them and explained to them that I do not want their insurance. Evidently they are the same company, which I did not know until calling the other one directly after the first. They have gotten our information from county records about the square footage of our home, address, And say that they are a warranty division. This time. I called them on it, and said if I have a warranty then I need somebody to come and pay for my air conditioner unit that was just replaced the last month. I was told at that time that I had no warranty insurance. Which I already knew. But they kept insisting that I did. Each time I've called, has not stopped future correspondence.

Credit Repair/Debt Relief

I opened a free account in creditcaptain.com in order to improve my credit score. They asked me about my bank account as they will inquire my finances to help me out with them. They charged me $14.95 dollars that day and other 14.95 the next. I talked to them and their AI chat agents (after around 20 different chats I discovered they are not even real people) they said I’d receive a refund and it never happened. Then, they charged me other $79. I have asked for a cancellation and refund through more than 30 chats and emails (because they don’t have a phone to call, neither they call even when they say they will) and I am really scared they will keep charging me every month on the amount they want. This “company” is a total fraud and they are just robbing people. Please help me out. They are full of AI fake reviews in trust pilot to keep operating, this has to be investigated.

The under eye corrector advertised on instagram made it appear to be a smooth application covering dark circles. A model who had similar skin tone as mine was used to demonstrate the product. When the order was received, the under eye corrector applied was very cakey, clumpy dry and extremely lighter than advertised. I contacted the company for a refund. They have written back but with no solution. Emails had responses such as asking if the shade is too light or dark, to send a picture of the product, or that they would get back to me with return instructions.

When I contacted the seller about why I hadn’t received my package since I paid extra for VIP shipping, they said to check with the post office or to ask my neighbors. They said it had been delivered and to ask the post office for a loss document saying they lost my package. The post office doesn’t offer such document because come to find out, the tracking number Kyniper provided wasn’t even a real one. I double checked with UPS & FedEx still giving Kyniper the benefit of doubt, and both sources said it was not valid. My first red flag was that as soon as I submitted the payment for the backdrop, my banks fraud alert department called to verify I had made the purchase, luckily I cancelled the card anyways, but they had already pulled the money out of my account.

Counterfeit Product - Prozenith

Got a text message. Usually I report and delete, but for some reason I clicked the link. I watched a video, with Oprah for the entire show, and Dr. Ania Jastreboff. Attempting to do my research, I googled and found the product, Prozenith, on a site, getprozenith.com, for the same price as advertised in the video. Later I figured out this is not the same company. This group goes through ClickBank, so I thought it was more legit than the one on my phone. So I purchased, being familiar with ClickBank. But when the product arrived, it is turmeric and black pepper, not the Pink salt, green tea extract, berberine, and resverotrol that the video said was in the product. So I emailed the company for a refund. No response. Then I opened a support ticket with ClickBank, and got a confirmation of the support ticket, and they will respond when back in office.

Online Purchase - Georgmat / palletluckybox

Their posting on Facebook indicates you will get a box of items from Amazon returns which mentions pallets from Amazon. What I received is a tiny box with an off brand watch band. They totally are misrepresenting what they are selling!

Counterfeit Product - Lara green handcrafted jewelry

I saw a beautiful handcrafted necklace made of metal delicately surrounding glass crafted to look like a beautiful ocean wave. I ordered it off of the advertisement. A woman named Lara was retiring so she was selling all of her handcrafted jewelry for 75% off of the regular price. The original price for the necklace was over $100. I paid $26.99 for it. When I received no conformation, nor any receipt for my purchase, I immediately called my bank to put a stop any further transactions on my card, and then the next day I discontinued my card and got a new one. I had the bank leave on the $26.99 charge in case I was wrong, they told me if I did not receive the necklace then I could file a claim through them. I also emailed the company and flat out asked them if they were a scam company as all I received after my purchase was a flowery email thanking me for my purchase. we emailed back and forth a couple of times where they kept assuring me I would get the necklace I ordered. I had told them the bank would file a claim if I did not get necklace. I was not surprised my necklace did not arrive quickly after realizing (after I had already ordered it) that their company was located in China and not in the UK like there email suggested. This information was not easy to find in their misleading ad. I did just today receive an ugly necklace with a piece of blue plastic shaped somewhat like a wave. I would not have ever ordered something so cheap looking and I certainly would not have paid for such a gaudy piece. I emailed the company after receiving the piece of junk and let them know how I felt about their scam company. I do not want anyone else who might see their bullsh@t ad to be taken in and lose money on such junk.

Counterfeit Product - Labu Boxes

Counterfeit labubu dolls. They are close, but the QR code on the tags to register the individual products are exactly the same on 2 different dolls and has already been used by someone. They used a real QR code, but from an already registered product.
