Employment - CoreVets Works

I received an unsolicited email from a company calling itself “CoreVets Works” using the domain corevetsworks.com. The email claimed I had previously applied for a Mechanical Engineer role with them, but I never recalled applying. The message said my “profile stood out” and that they had retained it in their pipeline. It then offered me a new full-time position at $50 per hour if I confirmed my interest. When I researched the company and domain, I discovered it was only created in August 2025 and already flagged by scam-detection sites. There was no legitimate business presence for “CoreVets Works,” and the HR contact name (“Paige Kadaw”) did not appear tied to any real organization. This appears to be an employment scam designed to trick job seekers into providing personal or financial information. I did not reply, but I am reporting this so others can avoid being misled.

Peter Abbott claims to be a partner of Peter Abbott LLP law firm and sent me a form letter that states as follows: "I am reaching out to discuss a significant matter concerning an unclaimed "permanent life insurance policy" from one of our late clients, late Ms. Maria Brauer, who unfortunately passed away ... due to Covid. Mrs. Brauer left behind a "payable on death" savings account valued at approximately ($10,800,020.00). Proposal details: 10% of retrieved funds will be allocated to various charity organizations. The remaining 90% of the funds will be equitably shared between us 50% each. I did not contact them to learn about the full scam but am attaching a copy of the letter I received.

Online Purchase - Luminous nutrition

This company advertised their weight loss product on Facebook, using a video with endorsements from Oprah Winfrey ( supposedly). In the video they listed 3 key ingredients in their product. One of them was pink salt! That ingredient, plus the other 2 are not listed on the bottle label. That plus all of the promises made regarding weight loss is a bunch of lies. I had a severe allergic reaction to the pills. They do not make it easy to return the product and I have no guarantees that I will get a full refund as was promised when I purchased the product. ( if the product failed to work) Currently I was told via email that a 50% refund is available to me if I cover shipping costs! This is a company that cannot be trusted and the products they sell are definite suspect. DO NOT BUY ANYTHING FROM THEM!

The site advertised blankets that are supposed to resemble dragon scales. I decided to buy two of the "red dragon scales" - a small one for my recliner and a large one for my bed. When they arrived, I discovered that the only way they resembled what was advertised was if you stood about 15' from them. They look like spilled dye, not the detailed prints they show on the web site. When I demanded a refund, they offered me 5% of the $115.98 I paid, and asked me to keep the products. I'm assuming because they don't want any more of the trash that they sent filling their warehouse.

Counterfeit Product

On the surface, Clarkson-NewYork.com appears to be a legitimate online retailer selling various discounted items to shoppers at prices significantly lower than major retailers. However, in reality, Clarkson-NewYork.com is a scam website that engages in deceptive tactics to trick customers into placing orders and handing over their money or sensitive personal information. Scammers behind Clarkson-NYC.com use spam emails and social media platforms like Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok to promote the site and lure in victims. This fraudulent site uses incredibly low prices to entice unsuspecting shoppers. I obtained 3 inferior quality (cheap) long sleeve polo shirts. They didn't even have tags on the clothing indicating the manufacture or the company logo which was an immediate red flag. I contacted them immediately requesting a refund and return information. Clarkson-NYC requested pictures of each item which I sent (16 total). After several emails, the finally started making offers to keep the items and they would allow me to select one free item or 10% off on my next order. I refused all offers and kept requesting the a refund and their return address. I have now requested this 5 times and they will not provide. I then started researching the company on BBB, Trustpilot, and MalwareTips and all of these sites have a multitude of reviews stating that this company is a scam and not only will they take your money, they will then sell your private information (credit card number) and sell it on the Darkweb. Attached are several reviews online indicating that this company is a scam!

I provided my name, address and email to what I thought was a neighbor. At the agreed upon day and time a young man arrived with a shop vac. He asked to see the chimney and took pictures. He tried to convince me it needed a lot of work but I told him I was only interested in chimney sweep and dryer vent cleaning as arranged. He then tried to clean the chimney, but got soot everywhere. He then proceeded outside and sucked some lint from the dryer vent. When he asked for payment he wanted cash, Zelle or cash app. I don’t have those and he wanted to accompany me to ATM for cash. I refused that and he said he would take a check. I wrote check amount and asked whom to make it out too and he said he would fill it in. He then wrote a name I couldn’t make out. He sent me a receipt that did not have a business name, technician name, address or phone number. He asked creepy questions about whether we had a dog, where my husband was, where we traveled. I just wanted him out of the house. I later contacted the local list serve to ask about the neighbor who recommended him, but turns out Wanda Matthew wasn’t known and they couldn’t find an address in my neighborhood associated with that name.

Employment

InstaWork is a fake employer who lures unsuspecting people (job seekers) in between careers to various worksites (job sites) under the guise of potential full time employability. None of the interim job assignments lead to full time employment instead job seekers are taken advantage of on their platforms with business partners. For example, I have been on their platform nearly 2 years. No full time offers have been extended by potential future employers. Instead invitations to date fellow peers occur on a reoccurring basis. Both labor and sex trafficking including human trafficking occurs (illegals aliens are on their platform). The true intent of the platform is to pair up individuals (legal / illegal) in exchange for drugs, sex and/or money. The job seekers sexual encounters with fellow peers are recorded and disseminated within their work group by their figureheads without the unsuspecting person’s explicit consent. Furthermore, the unsuspecting person’s (job seeker’s) personally identifiable information (legal name, date of birth, social security number, address, citizenship documents, banking account information and lastly address) is compromised for the rest of his / her life because it simply fell into the wrong entity’s / entities hands for further distribution and/ or sale without explicit consent. I am a victim of said scams. Recently, after I refused sexual relations with an associate on September 9, 2025 my employment contract was arbitrarily terminated without due or just cause. After I questioned their reasoning for terminating my employment contract I was given circular logic. I.e., nothing specific. A shift policy violation was quoted with no details. I hadn’t completed a shift for their company since January 1, 2025. However, I had repeatedly received job invitations from their company via email since that time. No violation(s) occurred. I rejected a solicitation for sex from an associate which directly led to termination of my employment contract. This company is a part of a global trafficking and identity theft scam. They are selling human capital (trafficking), disseminating revenge porn, distributing drugs and stealing lives (identities). They (corporation) are harm to themselves and others. This business should be terminated for the good of the country and mankind.

Advance Fee Loan - Phishing - Loan Solicitation Scam

For multiple months I have been receiving phone calls and recorded voicemails from an "underwriter" for the "lending qualification department." Multiple times I have connected to a "live person" asking to be removed from their list, THAT I WAS NOT INTERESTED. I have also pressed "9" which was supposed to also remove me from their list. I have blocked every number they are calling from, with no success of putting an end to these DAILY and sometimes more calls. Ignoring, connecting and talking and indicating during a call that I AM NOT INTERESTED is not working. This has been going on for several months. Please advise how to end these unwanted calls. They claim to be out of California. Thank you.
