Employment - Matrix Media Support Imposter Job Offer

I was sent an email offering a job as a proofreader for some customer service texts, checking for grammar, punctuation and clarity. I worked for a week straight, doing the work and sending my review on a .docx document back via email. I was offered a rate of $7/kb, and with the five documents that I reviewed I should've received (according to my calculations) slightly over $200. When it was time for my payment, they said that the position of "online office manager" was not available anymore, but that I could work as a "deals manager" instead for a fixed salary of $3000/month + 7% on commissions. When I asked them to just pay me for the $200 that I worked hard for before I could continue with the deal, they were very adamant on not paying me until I had accepted their offer first. At this point, so many red flags were raised that I couldn't continue with this charade, and I stopped replying to their emails/sending then any more messages. A few months later, I found this website of a person having the same experience that I've had, so I'm sharing my experience in the hope that the class action lawsuit leads somewhere... I feel cheated of the money that I worked hard for.

I received several telephone calls to include a voice mail pertaining to a loan offer that I've never applied for. They indicated that they are in the final stages of the loan process.

Counterfeit Product

On August 19, 2025, I followed an online video of a weight loss product that Oprah was endorsing. I made a purchase. At that particular time, I was not feeling well and was home from work in bed. Soon after my transaction went through, I received a call from a gentleman that led me to believe he was calling from the same company I had just bought from. He convinced me that the product he was talking to me about would enhance the “Oprah” endorsed product. My understanding was that I was purchasing a few bottles to work with the product I ordered. It wasn’t until I saw my credit account that I was charged about 3x the amount. I did receive the product and saw there was a full refund given within 60 days. I have been researching, calling them to no avail. On the lst call, I was pretty sure they were not a company. I was told they would call me back. That never happened. I have called many times since and they promise to call back. They don’t. Is there anything I can do to recover the money I gave them.

Online Purchase - PUPPY SCAM

Posted comments state Thomas Moore is the "best" Golden Retriever breeder. When I contacted him October 3, 2025, he stated he could deliver the puppy by the weekend for half deposit and an additional $210 fee. He requested Apple Ipay, but I don't have an iPhone, so he suggested I get an Apple Pay eCard. He was very kind and convincing in the messages. I attempted to purchase the ecard online, but when that didn't work, I went to a Dollar General, bought the cards for $200 and $500, and sent him pictures. He then transferred the money inot his Apple iPay account. He kept saying we would be so happy with our new puppy and that he would be delivered early Saturday morning, October 4, 2025. Early that morning he stated that the Shipping agent would not accept his crate, and I had to rent a Thermal crate for an additional $850, but that I would get back half upon delivery. This went on and on, because I refused to pay. He then sent me pictures of some poor child in a hospital bed, with tubes and monitors saying this was his child and that was why he didn't have the money to pay for the crate. I had realized by this time that this was all a scam. This morning, Oct 7, he contacted me saying He came up with the money for the crate, and he would be delivering the puppy to me as long as I promised to pay him back the money he paid for the crate.

Counterfeit Product - Online Purchase Scam

I attempted to purchase from Love in Faith, a christian clothing website/store. It said they were having a sale on Instagram, and most t-shirts were 2.99. I ordered t-shirts, hoodies, bracelets, a bag, a planner, etc. They even said that I had spent enough to receive some free items. I spent 97.23. I placed my order on September 5th 2025. I tracked the package for a solid month. Literally a month later it said my package was delivered. It said it was placed in or around my mailbox. I thought that was weird as it should have been quite a large package. I checked the mail and in the mailbox was a tiny package, inside it was a FAKE ADJUSTABLE RING that I never saw online and never ordered. Apparently this is a scam. I have emailed the "customer service" for the website, which is [email protected] but haven't heard back yet. They do not provide a phone number. I looked it up online and it said these people are known for this and that they will attempt to offer you a refund of 70% of what you spent. I guess I'm going to report this to my bank.

I did not apply for a loan with Nexfund, nor have I ever heard of them. I did recently get a personal loan directly from my bank, and I did not shop around, so no one else should think I am looking for one. I googled Nexfund and came across several reports about this scan with nearly verbatim text messages shared. I blocked them from calling or messaging again, but thought I should report it as I am sure the scan truly kicks in when you call to say you didn't take out a loan.

Online Purchase - Grabioa

Grabioa advertised a pellet smoker grease bucket and silicone liner on Facebook with a video showing the bucket and liner in detail. I followed, found, and ordered a pair of the advertised product directly on Grabioa's website. The ad also promoted a 49% discount on the purchase. Grabioa shipped grease buckets that were barely half the size shown in the Facebook video ad, they did not include the silicone liners (but only foil liners instead), and when the purchase transaction processed they added previously undisclosed extra processing charges that completely wiped out the 49% discount. I have exchanged multiple emails with Grabioa to claim a refund or return. Initially, Grabioa denied a problem, then after further pushing they offered only a 10% refund, and then after even more pushing offered only a 25% refund. Their behavior is indicative of someone who knows they are wrong. Their specific Facebook ad is no longer showing on Facebook, but the exact same ad under other multiple names still shows (likely related to Grabioa). You can locate the ad with this link: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=1343117904483514&id=100063559511699&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=EETFWlXk0h87OxYx#. Attached is a PDF of my latest email exchange with Grabioa, which includes the entire email exchange at every step. Also attached are 3 images showing a screenshot of the grease bucket and silicone liner from the video ad and a comparison of the buckets and foil liner shipped by Grabioa vs a full size foil liner for the size of bucket displayed in the video ad. Instead of pushing further, I have decided to file this report/claim and will advise Grabioa accordingly.

Transcript of their message below. I get about 1 call per day to 1 every other day and it is always from a different number in a differesnt US state.

Online Purchase - Delivery

Searched for a product (cornhole boards) using Google. Found a deal that appeared to be Overstock.com (they used their branding). After placing the order I realized the URL was for https://overloom.shop/ not Overstock and I immediately thought I just got scammed. I contacted Cash App since that was the payment method I used. They said they couldn't do anything until I tried to contact the merchant. I emailed the support address stating that I received no confirmation email for my purchase and that my payment method was charged and received no response despite the claim that responses at within 24hrs. Also note the charge in Cash App was for "Aleksandr Ro Fashion LLC", not Overstock or even overloom. A couple days later I received a shipping confirmation from [email protected] with a bogus tracking website (https://www.track718.us/en/). I then searched up track718 and found: Track718 is not a legitimate shipping carrier and is part of a scam used by fraudulent online sellers. The site acts as a fake tracking service that posts fabricated updates to convince a customer that a package is on its way when no item was ever shipped. This tactic is used to delay customers from disputing the charge until it is too late. I provided this information to Cash App and am currently waiting to see if they're able to take any action. The assumption is they won't be able to do anything and I don't get my $ back.
