The items was for sale at a discount in the amount of $9.99 when I placed my order they brought me to a place where they automatically select 2 items for an $100 added to the $9.99 and I was unable to deselect them. I try to return and not go through with the order. I thought it didn't become i didn't consent with the new amount. I then check my email and found that they have processed the order anyway. I enquire on their website how to cancel and was told that I cannot cancel if the order was shipped. I thought great the order was not shipped yet so i send my request to cancel.

Employment - Apkpure / Irene Watson

I was contacted on Facebook by Irene Watson offering a remote job opportunity. At first, it seemed legit — they said I could earn money by rating apps. After chatting there, they asked me to move the conversation to WhatsApp. Once on WhatsApp, they gave me a link to a site called apkpurework.org , where I was supposed to sign up and start doing tasks. The setup looked professional at first, but there were a lot of red flags — including asking for personal details, pushing me to download APK files, and eventually mentioning I’d need to deposit money to continue or unlock full payment. After doing some digging, I found multiple reports from other people saying they were scammed in similar ways through this exact site. It follows a common “task scam” pattern — pretending to offer work while trying to steal your money or data.

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.

Counterfeit Product

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.

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.

Scammer mailed a fake money order using our legitimate business address and name (Although not our legal name: Clampitt Inc & Co but we are Clampitt Paper Companies, LLC) as the sender and the money order was made out to a Nancy Wenson and signed by a Nancy Owen, mailing to an Air BNB in Oconomowoc, WI. The priority express mail was returned to ur business as undeliverable but we never mailed the fake money order nor have anything to do with the intended recipient if they exist. Simillarly 1 week prior, we received a money order addressed to us in the same dollar amount mailed from a Nancy Wensman. We believe someone intended for us to deposit the money order with our daily check deposit then would reach out asking for a refund, but we never heard from anyone with a request. Mostly concerned others might unknowingly be depositing fake money orders from someon impersonating our business Clampitt Paper Companies, LLC.
