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.

Online Purchase - MiaiStyle

This scammer had a so called insurance policy that was extra for $1.60. The name of the insurance company name is Seel. After reaching out to the store itself and not getting any answers other than the same lame advice of 'just continue to wait for it, please' I applied the claim for reimbursement. It was approved through this so called insurance company Seel and they sent $39.99 to PayPal. They tried to get my banking information, but I connected PayPal instead. For the $11.47 shipping cost I was out of pocket because the company wouldn't return that portion. Also, the insurance didn't cover this part. They told me to reach back out to the company. Also, the tracking number didn't seem legit. It's connected to a ghost system that doesn't give you accurate information. It doesn't tell you who the shipping carrier is or the information to contact them. UPS, USPS, FEDEX or DHL was not the carrier I checked each site for delivery, yet nothing. I asked the company who the carrier was and they couldn't tell me. So basically all together I was out $11.47.

Home Improvement - Duct Duct Cleaning

We requested service of an outdoor gas fire pit through Somerset Chimney and Fireplace Services and was connected with "Duct Duct Cleaning LLC". Their team came on site to inspect the fire pit and determined that it needed a full replacement for $4,500.00 plus tax and would not be able to be replaced for two weeks. When we told them we could not wait that long and would look for other options, they let us know that they could have it fixed that day. They removed the unit and returned hours later with our old unit spray painted black. When questioned about it, they threatened to take all of the "new" parts installed back. But when we asked where our old parts were, they told us they were thrown in the trash in Philadelphia. We have been trying to connect with all parties involved to get a full replacement completed and/or a refund for the charges that did not reflect the agreed upon service.

Phishing - PayPal Spoof

Received an email that looks like it was from Paypal notifying me that a reoccuring payment was made to my account in the amount of 1499.00 USD. It provided a phone number to call if the charge was not authorized. I did not click anything in my email, but instead visited the Paypal website and found that there were no unauthorized pending charges. The number listed in the email also did not match the phone number on the paypal website.
