Online Purchase - Jabbering jack co

I purchased $40 worth of spooky pops for my child’s school Halloween party on 9/29 and according to the website the order would be processed within 2 days and shipped out and I should expect it by 10-7. I contacted the company via email on 10-13 to ask for an update on my as it was still in “confirmed” status. I contacted them again on 10-15 asking for any response or updates and left with no response again. There is no phone number to call nor another way to contact the company other than email so, after the third attempt to contact them again - I still have no updates and no response from the company and had to contact my bank about the charge

Online Purchase - Online purchase not received

saw the shop on Facebook we are planning a wedding and ads kept popping up they were low in price the website looked legit I’ve ordered before from Facebook so I wasn’t worried. I paid for VIP shipping because I figured it was coming from China and would take longer to get. After a month of not getting another update on my package I emailed them. Everytime I clicked on the tracking it never gave me anything past order received. They sent me tracking information that looked like it was delivered. I said I did not get. They said check with USPS I did they didn’t have it and said that tracking number did not line up with usps tracking numbers. I emailed them again telling them what postal worker said they said we will look into it but it will take some time. I have disputed the charge from my credit card but have not gotten final result yet. Now I am noticing they are not coming up when I look on social media but the website is there if you search on Google

This is my 2nd attempt to submit, please excuse repetition if you see other submission. I was looking for a Maine Coon kitten on Facebook and tried to find someone "local" to myself or my son. I came across Max's Majne Coons out of Albany. They said the price was $600 for the kitten i wanted and they expected a deposit immediately. They wanted an electronic payment through Apple Pay gift card and i got a $200 card and sent it to them via photos. I received the adoption forms and we scheduled a delivery date of 10/15/25 at 3pm. I gave them my son's contact info and address including email. We agreed that they would get the remainder of fees upon delivery with cash. Yesterday tgey contacted my son and told him their truck had broken down and the kittten would be delivered by PRIMEWAY. Their CS number is 305-791-6315. The delivery service called my son and told him that there was a $700 delivery fee before the kitten would be delivered. He refused. I contacted Max's and told them what was happening and they begged us to pay $390 - could even use the remainder of the money we owed. We said that they needed to deliver the kitten themselves and wewould pay COD. They refused. Now they will not respond to me. I can send photos of the Apple Pay gift card and correspondence, if needed.

I was scrolling TikTok on 10/13/25 on my way home from the holiday wknd when a woman talking about this box of seasonal spices from McCormick was doing a promotion for a nominal shipping fee of $9.95. My initial thought was “this is great & will he so helpful for the upcoming holidays” I looked and the woman was doing her TikTok with a name McCormick spices with a verified blue check mark. I scrolled through comments and they were all positive that I read. I proceeded to “follow the link” and put my info in and my card info for the $9.95 for shipping payment. Within a second I had the first of two charges and they appeared as the following on my bank statement and after doing research I was finally able to identify the culprits and it was NOT McCormick spices! ?? one of them also had an embedded email address . I will identify them below. The first: $9.49 on 10/13 05:15 CDT at SKINCAREHAVENESSENTIAL, SHERIDAN, WY. Email address: [email protected] HOWEVER, this is NOT a working or correct email address. So I went back to the website and clicked on the address to copy and paste and when I did that, this is the email address that is embedded: [email protected] The second was: $38.95 on 10/13 05:46 CDT at NUTRAVITAWELLNESSSOURC, SHERIDAN, WY Email address: [email protected] I have emailed both of these companies demanding a full refund, cancellation any type of reoccurring payment and to delete all of my personal and financial info they have on file. I’ve not heard back from either of them as of today. PLEASE BE AWARE

I’d been applying to Jobs on Indeed, but I never applied for “CrateCraft LLC” so that was my first red flag.

I asked ChatGpt, yes because it works for things like this, and it couldn’t find any official business in Montana with the name “Cratecraft Shipping,” instead, it found the name linked to sites like this, where scams are reported. At the address, there is no Shipping company, it’s a restaurant.
