Online Purchase - Inspiring Jewel

I placed an order for a ring that was intended for a gift and was ordered withing the time frame initially provided bythe company for delivery... when i reached out after not receiving it within their time frame they told me it was lost. At this point i no longer needed it and tried to cancel it. I was told the replacement had already been shipped. I wasn't given the option of a refund and they just sent a new one without my authorization. It took an additional 4 weeks to finally receive the new one of which i attempted to refuse. When i opened the package, nothing could prepare me for the utter garbage that was enclosed and unacceptable as a gift. It was a ring that had a shrunken picture of the one i submitted glued to a fake sterling silver ring with someones fingerprint in the glue still on the ring. When i reached out to them to return it again and after MANY attempts to get a refund, they offered to ship another one. No thank you! They still have not refunded me and i'm in the process of disputing the charge for such garbage...BUYER BEWARE

I posted an item for sale and a buyer contacted me saying they wanted to pay $130 via Venmo. After I gave them my Venmo handle, they sent a fake “payment” notification and an email claiming a bank transfer was completed. The email said the $130 was “on hold” because my account wasn’t a business account and that I needed to get an extra $500 sent to my account so they could “expand” it to a business account. They told me the buyer would send the additional $500 and asked me to refund it after the “upgrade,” then said once that was done the total ($630) would be credited. I also received a popup screenshot that said “Payment Declined — Please enter receivers email to complete the payment,” which they used as “proof” the payment was pending. They provided a support phone number and encouraged me to call it. When I refused, they kept pushing the request for the extra $500.

A voicemail message on my landline claimed that a "preauthorized" purchase of a Playstation 5 special edition bundle including a 3-D wireless headset had been made using my name and phone number at a cost of $1,537.35. If I hadn't authorized this transaction, I should call back immediately to the number on my caller ID screen; or I could call their toll-free number at 833.696.2192. The message said I should "respond promptly to prevent any unauthorized activity" on my account. Clearly a scam. I have made no such purchase, nor do any of my bank accounts indicate such.

Tax Collection - Tax Group

Got a call. "Angel" from the "Tax Group". It was obviously a scam but I occasionally moonlight as a scambaiter so I baited whatever info I could out of them. "Angel" was clearly a pre-recorded message so I just followed the instructions to get through to someone. The man I got through to had an eastern accent, probably Indian or one of the surrounding countries. They claimed to be from LA, working for a group which does what I would describe as tax auditing. They claimed I had "over $400" (no specific figure given) in back taxes which I had not paid. Obviously this is all the job of the I.R.S., and they'd never do something like call and demand $400 in this way. The phone number was *probably* spoofed but it's possible it wasn't so I included it anyway earlier. That's all the information I managed to get out of them before something spooked them and they hung up.

Home Improvement - Appliance Repair

Juan Carlos Aponte promises new genuine parts in his repairs, but fixes your appliances with used/refurbished pieces. I needed my refrigerator fixed. He came to look at it and said it was the motherboard. He took the one out of my refrigerator and said he has this available brand new for me and that he would need to go retrieve it. I told him this was fine and we agreed he would come back in 1 hour. Before he left, he tried to take the motherboard from my refrigerator. I told him to leave it and just come back with the new part since he already took a picture and confirmed with his associate that he had the new part I needed. I asked him to leave it and bring back the new part in its packaging so I can confirm it is new. He argued with me and left with my motherboard. He came back with an unwrapped motherboard and tried to install it in my fridge without even talking to me first. I asked him multiple times to confirm it was a new piece and all he would say is “mami, trust me. It is new.” I said go give me back my old one then and I’ll believe him. He refused to produce the original one and became very aggressive. He improperly installed the “new” one and demanded I pay him $275. He kept on saying if I didn’t pay him he would just take out his part. I said that was fine, but to provide me with my old part first. He became aggressive and left with my money.

Employment - Employment Scam

I applied for an appointment setter job on indeed and was contacted first by phone by a man named Laith. He immediately set up a Zoom meeting where he told me I would be calling warm leads for high ticket sales and asking pre-qualifing questions and then setting appointments for the closers. I was told that due to the money they pay for those leads, I would need to provide "collateral" so that if I ghosted them I would be liable for the cost of my training. I was then immediately connected to another man via the Zoom call named Yazan Younis. He coerced me into e-signing a contract that I was barely able to even read due to him talking to me the entire time I was trying to read it. Then I was told I needed to provide the payment for the training up front, immediately, via credit card. He asked for my credit score and how much I had on my card, and I told him my card was nearly maxed out. He then pressured me into applying for a new credit card. I was so stressed out and I told him I wasn't sure I was comfortable with that, but he insisted that as long as I completed my training for 60 days the company would be liable for the charges made to my card for training. He then told me that since I had already signed the contract I was obligated to pay regardless despite not having received any training or leads yet. The new credit card wouldn't activate fast enough to charge the $6k they wanted, but he insisted on charging my nearly maxed out card a "pending fee" of $249 until the new card was working to cover the collateral. I felt rushed, coerced, and manipulated. After I finally got off the zoom call, which he kept me on for hours trying to see if I could get approved for money quicker through Klarna or applying for a second new credit card (thankfully that did not happen), I was able to do some research into Saleflow.co and also "elite sales" because that was in the domain of one of the email addresses used to contact me. I found multiple threads on forums stating this was a scam, that I would likely end up working for free for months and my first check could bounce, that they are a job scam that lures in new hires and then forces them to lure in other new hires the same way and that this was the entire job. I immediately panicked and called my credit card company and closed the new card I'd opened today and also reported fraudulent charges on my old card that the $249 was charged to. Now I am scared they will try to enforce this "contract". I texted and emailed Yazan and told him I wanted the contract cancelled immediately and that I had not received any training or material yet so I did not owe them anything and to please send confirmation of the cancellation. I have not heard back yet. I am scared they will try to sue me or come after me legally for this scam and I don't want anyone else to be tricked like this. I should not have to pay $6k for job training, and this contract should not be enforceable when no training had been provided or even a start date given due to them still awaiting the rest of their "collateral". Please shut these people down.

My elderly father was lured into calling a number he got from a YouTube ad promising an "AI algorithm" for trading stocks. He says the trading platform was endorsed by well known politicians, and he kept seeing the ads for weeks. The platform is called "TwentyOneVC", and their website is 21venturecapital.com. He called them, they signed him up, and walked him through setting up a Coinbase account. He then transferred them $200 USD to get started. They gave him a username and password to a "platform" at https://21vc.io and "trained him" on how to trade stocks using it. They claim to be doing Contract for Differences (CFD) trading, but to the trained eye, the site looks like a façade designed to lure in unsophisticated victims. You click on a stock to "open" a position, and watch as your profit ticks upwards until you close it. The $200 is an initial trial designed to bait you. They'll show you a profit, and even allow you to cash out a small amount to convince you the platform is legitimate (a common scam pattern). Then they'll hit you up to invest $10,000 or more, promising to give you personalized advice and reveal more secrets to trading. There are some telltale signs this is a scam. They claim to be UK-based, but the UK government database shows no sign of their registration. Their site lists no address, no registration number, and no background on the investors or directors. Their president, Tony Weissmann, has no online presence. They didn't collect any Know-Your-Client (KYC) information when they signed up my father. They keep calling him from different phone numbers. They gave him an address that doesn't exist on Google Maps. Stay away from this company!

I placed the order that night, slept on it, and realized in the morning that this is a scam, a deep fake. It's not safe to ingest a substance from a non-GMP company. I contacted the company immediately to return the three bottles, which are unopened, but there is no return method provided on the website or with the product. The video talked about some key ingredients that aren't even listed on the label. Furthermore, the video didn't mention what additional ingredients IQ Blast contains, including Panax ginseng, which is contraindicated with my other medications. Caveat emptor!

Posed as Thermador and offered to send a technician to look at fridge. Set up a service call for the following day, two men came and after inspecting the fridge, received a call from Dan from Thermador and provided an estimate and specific parts that needed to be ordered. Requested a check or Zelle. Check made out to Estbal Service LLC and deposited. Never came back to install, kept making appointments and not showing up over several days despite texts from "Hello Appliance Repair". Called Thermador (real company this time) and was told no service ticket was ever filed with the company and this is not a recognized company or Thermador technician. Company not registered to do business in NY and Florida based LLC. Phone numbers associated with these companies are not in service.

I was contacted by email stating that I purchased an anti-virus subscription through a PayPal account for $351.24 on September 3,2025, which is false. I do not have a PayPal account anymore. I contacted Norton antivirus helpline and spoke with a Michael Williams at about 11:00 AM on September 23. He stated that he would have it removed but asked if I can go on my computer to take care of it and I told him no. He said he would have it taken care of. I want to make sure there isn’t a PayPal account open in my name. Thank you!
