Online Purchase - Runo Plants

During a TikTok live hosted by Runoplants on October 2nd, the business was selling a “mint monstera” plant for over $100. I commented that the same plant cultivar had recently been available at Target for about $70 and asked for clarification about the price difference. Instead of responding, the business immediately blocked me from commenting and later blocked my account entirely. Their decision to silence questions rather than address them raises serious concerns about transparency and honesty in their sales practices. I am submitting this complaint to request that the company review how they handle customer inquiries and provide clear, accurate pricing information to avoid misleading future buyers.

Tech Support - Tech Support Scam - Hewlett-Packard Impostor

I attempted to get assistance with setting up my new Hewitt Packard printer. The final set up step was to access 123.hp.com for assistance with the software connection. I attempted to acces the site as instructed which I thought would connect me to the Hewitt Packard's web site but was actually connected with Candler Care llc. instead. I gave this fraudulent company access to my computer. They went in and they did, in fact fix my laptop. But then advised me that I had numerous viruses, trojans, etc in my laptop. I had some reservations, but they ended up coercing me to let them go in to fix these. So-called trojans and viruses and advised me it would cost $213. They also requested that I take advantage of their annual $699 a year protection pla which I declined. I advised them that I would be paying for their service through PayPal just in case they were a scam. And of course, they assured me, they weren't. They also sent me an invoice with the HP logo on it. However, after thinking about this more thoroughly, I called the HP number that I had used previously to help me with online support, who told me that they were not affiliated with this company, and they've had other reports of this kind of thing happening.

This person offered me a work at home job in which I didn't apply for. It was to receive packages or pick them up from various companies around my house (USPS, UPS, Fed Ex, etc). Then "inspect" these packages, and re-ship them internationally. They offered to pay me $4,400 each month, plus a $40 dollar bonus per package send. However, I would have to do this job for the entire first month without getting paid. This person sent me a long contract to fill out with my information.

Credit Repair/Debt Relief - Credit Repair Scam

In March 2025, I enrolled with this company after being assured of rapid and effective credit repair. Unfortunately, none of the promises made were fulfilled. Instead of improvement, my credit score declined significantly over the following months. Communication was poor, and my case was handled with neither the care nor the efficiency that the company’s website guaranteed. At no point was a clear or personalized strategy discussed, and I later discovered that my credit file had been neglected for months by Mr. Forkos, with no meaningful work or updates provided. When I requested a refund, I was once again met with silence and disregard. The so-called “90-day satisfaction guarantee” is entirely misleading and holds no merit. This company operates in a deceptive manner and fails to deliver on its commitments. I strongly advise others to avoid doing business with them.
