Online Purchase - Boot Barn / imposter

There was an ad on Facebook for a 70%-90% clearance sale for going out of business for Western Wear/ Boot Barn Warehouse sale. I ordered two sets of boots that were deeply discounted, I never got a email or transaction receipt, no shipping information and then I couldn't find the ad after that, waited for a while and nothing was ever sent to me, I never got a receipt for the transaction so I tried to challenge the charge with my bank and realized the entity that charged my account was kwear admiteer instead of the bootbarn or western Wear business I purchased the items from. So they took the money out of my account but never shipped me anything and now I'm having a significant amount of trouble getting my money back or having any way to contact the people who debited my account, or showing any proof that I bought something at all because I didn't know I should have taken a screenshot cuz I thought they would be sending me an email to confirm or something. This ad looks very legit and it's on Facebook but as soon as you make your purchase it kind of disappears and there's no way to track it so I highly recommend ignoring any Boot Barn going out of business awesome sales on cowboy boots or Western Wear of any kind.

Online Purchase - Harison Billar

I purchased a puppy from a breeder in PA from a facebook breeder page: Harrison Billar called Teacup Poodles for sale, i reported the page to facebook. ) He told me the puppy was $400 and he would have it shipped to me. I had to send him a $200 deposit and $200 cash to be paid upon delivery of the puppy. Payment was made thru paypal family and friends. He said he used a ground shipping service called easy global courier (easyglobalcourier.com) who not only has not delivered by pet, but they told me I had to pay an additional $500 insurance fee (which they claim is refundable) ,the breeder claimed he would share the cost with me as this additional fee was never disclosed to me. I paid $300 which I did thru PAYPAL and friends and family as requested and then he all of a sudden had all of his accounts frozen and couldn't pay the $200 of his share. So I had to pay the $200 as well... so $500 in total for the necessary "insurance". They gave me tracking # 598509426 and were supposed to deliver my puppy on Saturday 9/13/25 stating their delivery vehicle was a Toyota car. They never arrived on Saturday 9/13 and when I contacted them, they said they had an emergency and were rescheduling a delivery for today Sunday 9/14. They said delivery would be by noon, but then they said when they got to CT and Bradley Airport (not sure why they were even at Bradley with my pet since it was ground transportation to me, they said that the CT has shipping regulations on all packages entering the state must undergo a mandatory COVID 19 verification process and that I had to pay another $500 (which they claim is refundable) in order to get my puppy delivered. This was around 2 pm this afternoon and they claimed to be dropping off other puppies to Bradley for transport to France. Obviously, this scam-like situation now seemed apparent to be a scam. The breeder continues to claim this is an issue between me and the shipping company and to take it up with them. His name is Harison Billar, [email protected] and 310-715-8945. This is the agency tracking link https://easyglobalcourier.com easyglobalcourier.com

Other - Dispensary Investment Scam

Avery (Dharmendra) Patel told me he was an initial investor in the Pass Dispensary in Sheffield Mass. He told me they were opening up a second round of investment opportunities just for initial investors but that I could get in under his name. I had just received back pay from disability and was scared about finances so the opportunity sounded like something I couldn’t pass up. I had also suffered a brain injury in 2020… this happened in 2023. He always had an excuse as to why the paperwork hadn’t arrived, his lawyer was working on it, it was on its way, etc… I finally asked for my money back and he dragged that out for months. He finally told me he’d meet me at my bank with my money but to no surprise, he was a no show.

Before I submitted any application, I went onto their website and completed a contact information form where the company was supposed to reach out to me once submitted. A month passed by, and I had to reach out to them. Once I reached out to them, the realtor explained to me the process of trying to purchase a home. He asked numerous times where I would like to reside. I gave that information via phone before submitting any applications. The realtor agreed that he could find homes where I was interested in. Once I submitted the application, the realtor kept sending homes in places I was not interested in. This happened on multiple occassions. After this matter, they would not reach out to me about any properties. I reached out to the realtor asking if it was a deadline when trying to find a home, his response was no. When I logged back in the loan app, I saw that they already had terminated the loan without telling me the loan had been terminated. I am not sure how long it had been terminated for because when I asked the realtor was it a deadline in the past, he stated no. Upon getting preapproved for the loan, the realtor told me that I would get grant money towards purchasing a home. When I asked about the grants, he stated that there were no grants. I'm not sure if this business is a scam, because when they do advertisements on Facebook, no one can ever leave a comment.

Online Purchase - Online Retail Scam

This site is a complete scam. I was suspicious because the price of an item was "too good to be true", but may have been a close-out. I opened multiple VPN and non-VPN browsers and their contact information was variously listed as: 225 W Randolph St, Suite 1200 Chicago, IL; 105 Clearview Drive, Denver, CO; and Sesam Street 323b, 4010, Norway. A different contact phone number was also listed as 303-695-7913. The listed email is phony and I submitted a query that was rejected with the error "No mx record found for domain=yoyomart.shop". The site requires payment from Paypal, probably because that results in instantly lost funds. I tried to use a virtual credit card number and checkout via the Paypal credit card option, but the transaction was repeatedly denied. I did not lose any money, but these actors appear to be clearly criminal.

Retail Business - retail business imposter

Clark’s-Bloomfield is a scam website that came up when I started to type in Clark’s for the highly regarded shoe company. Their website must be optimized, because it came up before the real Clark’s company did. They show what look like stylish, high quality shoes (some orthopedic and suitable for foot conditions). They list high prices then huge discounts that are used to reel the customer in. The sandals came from China in a cheap bag made of cheap materials two weeks late. I hope people get to read this before they use this scam website (like I did, duh).

They do not provide a phone number so the one entered is not accurate. The company advertises good quality clothes on a professional website. They copyright the name in June 2025 and immediately have a clearance sale using the professional website and pictures. They choose a comfortable Canadian name and start the clearance sale immediately (to move to better facilities so everything has to go). Their office, as reported by someone else, is in Hamilton On at an Indian restaurant. They don't give a phone number or address, the return address in China has been flagged as false. They don't offer free returns and you must pay to ship to China, which I suspect is more than the cost of the junk they sent.

This package is from China. I want to return all of this and cancel the rest of my order. I want a full refund for this trash. This is unacceptable and not the quality I thought I was buying. THIS IS NOT USA COMPANY, WARNING! DO NOT BUY THIS TRASHY MERCHANDISE. ITS CHEAP SCREEN PRINTED LOW QUAILTY MATERIAL.

This number texted me saying I responded to their apartment and that I should email them at the email address to “ So you need to proceed with an application now so that I can confirm the meeting and hold the place for you . It's only for your credit check and background check. I believe that's okay with you, right?” without ever having viewed the apartment.

Michael DePola responded to my handyman ad on NextDoor. When he arrived, he looked at the job: A broken window pane and a couple of small rosebushes to plant. He told me that the fixing the window pane would be $75; he could check and seal the other 2 windows for $25 each. He asked for money up front, and when I protested, he said "I am poor." He estimated the cost of supplies at $200; I paid him a check for $325; he asked for the labor cost ($150, but he was giving me a break at $125). A little while later, he came back and asked me for cash for the materials because he didn't have time to go to his bank and cash the check. I gave him $200 cash to buy window repair supplies from Home Depot, and he left, purchased them, and returned with new gasket material and some window screening. He took the broken pane off and glued the new gasket along the channel in the pane. He then leaned the window pane against the wall and said that the glue needed to dry and that he would be back after lunch to finish putting the pane back. I told him that he keeps asking for money before he does the work, but I gave it him. When I asked for my $325 check back so that I could write him a $125 one, he very casually said that he still needed something else, and that he would return whatever he did not use. When I asked what it was, he said he needed a tool to push the rubber gasket inside the window track and kept walking out as he was talking. It rained later that day and the rain came in through the window, wetting the carpet. I placed a towel on the carpet and tried to reach him via email again. I now had lost the $200 cash AND the $325 check, which he cashed. I am having trouble uploading the PDF receipt for at least one of them (I can attach only one file). Scammed, that's my experience.
