Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered items from an independent website (mozeve.com) because the prices were much lower compared to other stores. However, I only received part of my order. The item I did receive turned out to be a refurbished product, even though the website clearly advertised it as new. The website (mozeve.com) does not provide a phone number and only communicates by email. I complained via email, but the seller ignored the issue of sending a refurbished product. Instead, they said they would resend the missing items, but I believe they are just stalling for time. The package was shipped via FedEx, and the box had a phone number printed on it, but the number does not work. Based on all these facts, I believe mozeve.com is a scam website. I have already called my bank (Wells Fargo) and filed a dispute for the transaction.

I signed up for an online parenting class ($28) and was given the impression it was a one time charge. I realized today that I have been getting charged for a recurring subscription (60 dollars each time) - since 2023- for a subscription service I never signed up for. This company has no customer service phone number , only an email address. No owners are listed due to Delaware privacy laws. I cancelled my subscription and requested a refund. From what I am seeing online this has happened to countless other people who have been deceived in the same way . I wish I had read reviews before giving them my debit card number.

Employment - Employment Scam

I was sent an email and then I responded based on a job opportunity. I've been going back and forth since Sept. 4th with someone named Alexis Thigpen at this email address ([email protected]). I signed an agreement that I understood the terms of the packages that were going to be shipped to my address, and I took a picture of the agreement with my face & I gave them my date of birth to prove that I was over 18 years of age. On Sept. 11th, someone by the name of Maria called from tel. # 346-598-5630/Tomball, TX and when I started asking questions about the company & about speaking with a manager, she seemed hesitant, but then I told her that someone has contacting me through email by the name of Alexis Thigpen of MMT Recruiting and she did not know who that was but continued to verify my address and asked if someone would be home to sign for the packages. They stated that I would get paid $20.00 per box mailed out and 40.00 if I had to pick up a box along with paying mileage. All packages were to be opened, verified contents, then resealed & taken to drop off at the post office and they would send me the label. After constantly asking for verification of the company and asking to speak with a manager, it started to feel weird so I decided to google them under Happy Truck and MMT recruiting only to find that Happy Truck is a food vending truck and MMT is a medical supply distributor. And, when clicking on other pages for info about Happy Truck it took me to a different page where a security error comes up. Maria said that they have a location in Massachusettes only and a manager would call me back either today 9/11 or tomorrow 9/12/2025 so that my questions would be answered and I could then sign a contract. I am now sure that this is not a legitimate company and they are only looking for ways to get my banking information even though they said that they were paying me through PayPal but I don't trust the situation at all especially since there is no Massachusettes location!!
