Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Presently I am in a dispute with Miniolie customer service. The bottom line is I caution the BUYER to BEWARE! This company is based overseas in China and does not stand by their product. They do NOT honor their RETURN POLICY and Miniolie sells questionable inferior merchandise. The back story… On 11/3/25 I ordered Baby Denim Blue Warm Fleece Romper Blue/12-18M × 1 SKU:************ $46.95 USD The Fleece Romper arrived 11/12/25. Our 6 month old grandson was dressed in the cute romper on the day of delivery and within minutes the outer fleece began to shred and he was eating it by the fist fulls, the shredded fuzzy fleece was in his mouth, stuck to his lips and all over his crib. We contacted MiniOlie by email immediately, well within the 14 day (joke of a) refund policy and requested a FULL REFUND. MiniOlie responded 24 hrs later (they do not have a customer service contact phone number) and did not stand by their product, stating they’ve never heard of this before and will only refund 30%. We challenged this and they came back with a 50% refund plus we must mail the merchandise back to China at our expense. I am done with MiniOlie and will NEVER purchase anything from this company again. The cute little outfit that looks irresistible in their marketing ads is a choking hazard and potentially a flammable risk. DO NOT give them your business as MiniOlie is NOT a reputable company and DOES NOT stand by their product.

I ordered Viking shirts on a website advertised on social media. This was in March 2025. The tracking number I was given was bogus. No recognizable company (ie UPS, FedEx, etc). For weeks and weeks the tracking number on the website they provided never changed. I emailed their support numerous times. Then in May 2025 I was informed the package was delivered at or near my mailbox. At this point, the information for the supplied tracking number changed. It said it was shipped, traveled to numerous hubs, then finally delivered. All in one day when it never changed for the months I checked. I was given another tracking number and told to check with my local delivery company. I checked with USPS and it couldn’t find my package. I informed support and told them it was never delivered. They then changed their story and said due to the tariffs my package was delayed. It’s now November 2025 and nothing. No refund(I told them I wanted one) no package, no shirts.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Yax International

I am purchasing a condo in La Paz Mexico and was looking for a loan. I joined the La Paz Facebook group and there are lenders as well as realtors, and US & Canadian citizens moving to La Paz in that group. I saw Isabel's post re. loans and relocation assistance. I reached out to her with the intention to obtain a loan, and paid a loan application fee of US$1000. Then she asked for US$1800 to apply for Mexico residency. I have yet to receive a loan contract and residency application updates or status even though I've been asking for updates. Shortly after, Isabel said the company (Yax International) needed money to help Mexican immigrants, she sent me loan documents stating the purpose and the amounts. She asked for US$550, then US$2500, then US$8000. She continued to ask for more and bigger loans to which I replied these outstanding loans need to be repaid first. She asked me for my bank info to wire the funds to me - the wire never arrived. She said she'd check with the bank. There was one excuse after another - the bank is closed, the bank doesn't open till 10am etc. I never got an answer about the wire. Then she lied that she was at the consulate and asked if she could call me because they had questions for her. She never called. I asked for loan docs and contracts, I never got them. She promised payments week after week....nothing has been received.

My family member was approached about a job on social media FB, that promised job opportunities. Upon applying and providing personal identifiable information, the site wanted payment of $47 to recieve job opportunities, an ID badge and shirt. They showed me the reviews and explained the job, and once i saw the site, i began questioning its authenticity. I searched for reviews of the company and the first result was a complaint on the BBB website of the fraudulent transactions between job seekers and consumers. My family member gave up sensitive information to this company. No one should have to pay anything to begin working. BBB please take down this site!

I fell for the email marketing and presentation of the clothes and models and clicked through to the site, which looks "all American". I ordered one item, so I could evaluate the quality of the product when it came. Other than a "dud" "track your order" link that never showed any progress, and a couple of AI-generated responses to my inquiries about estimated delivery time, this business is completely impenetrable. When I checked the BBB site I came across other posts saying this is a Chinese firm and that they are scamming buyers. I now include myself among those people.

Employment - Duetto

I fell for the task scam. I don't know about it until I saw the post on reddit. So they contacted me on whatsapp stating that I can earn money by doing simple tasks. They told me to login an application and finish the task set and once I finish the task I can withdraw the money. So there will be 3 task set per day and for every task set I need to recharge and then finish the tasks. I just tried it with 100$ at the start and it seemed legit cause I can withdraw once I finish the task to my coinbase account. They motivated me to put more and once I put 500$ they froze my account and kept asking to pay more so I can withdraw all the amount at the end. Apart from me, most people got scammed. So I'm still in contact with these people. The website they are using is https://duetto.cc/#/welcome. I will provide my credentials here so you can login to my account and see what's happening. I don't have hopes of recovering my money but I want to help other people and to stop these scammers.

Employment

I received an email from a person named Clifford Rogers, HR Manager of AWG Privates Chefs saying he saw my resume on Indeed. I was asked questions for an interview ( all through email), it took about 3 days to get back to me that I was accepted for the job ( administrative assistant), a remote work at-home position. Pay is $29.75/hr. I got to pick between full-time and part-time and hours of 8-12 or 1-5 or 8-5 mon-fri. Payments are either bi-monthly or monthly. Between emails about once per week and spanning over about a month. I was told all questions and would be working with HR for the remainder of my onboarding. I would also be sent a check via USPS and a welcome letter of acceptance. A week later, today, I finally received a check in the mail for $4,965.00. The check was the only thing in the envelope. I emailed right away, wanting to know details of the check with no letter with it, expecting a reply back in a couple of days later like other emails I have gotten. Within 5 minutes of sending the email, I received a text (779) 335-5160 from Clifford (up until today, everything was through email and talking with what I thought human resource person, that I fugure now was the same person all along), and I was then told I needed to deposit the check through my bank app and send a picture when done. I was told to not put it in a savings account but in a checking account for a faster way to get money available. I said I was not comfortable doing a mobile app deposit ( my bank only allows $2400) and then was told I need to go to my bank atm and deposit the check. Then I was told that the check would be voided because I couldn't do atm deposit. I asked if another check would be sent to me, and I was told NO. After that, I was told that I could go into the bank the next day, but the accounting department might not accept the check. I then messaged back that I have been through this before, and it messed up my account. The check is an odd amount, and what accounting department would not accept a check being deposited by going into a bank? The fact that it was after 10 pm and we were still messaging was odd, no matter what the time difference is. Then I blocked the number and will do the same for email. I never got direct answers it was like a robot answering my questions with same robotic answers. I was told that after onboarding I would then get insurance. I never got a response to an actual start date, just that I would be receiving a check in the mail with the week and nothing more about a letter and I was not asked to fill out a W2 or direct deposit papers. I was only asked for my name, address, bank name and my preference in p/t, f/t and monthly or bi-monthly for pay. This was about the same as the last job i was told I was hired for and got scammed out of a lot of money, for depositing a check through bank app. AWG Private Chefs is a legitimate company but looking in their website under jobs, there is no remote positions. I even sent a message through LinkedIn so I will see what the response is. Just feels like deja vu with last "job" i was hired for.

I received a call from a person purportedly from Atlantic Recovery Solutions who identified herself as NAME. She called me on Nov. 12, 2025 looking for my son. She said that they had not been able to reach him. She was interested in contacting my son so that she could resolve a debt that she said he had concerning a "Best Buy VISA card issued by Citibank" to him in 2021. She said that the amount owed was $1,353, but that they would settle it for $1,015, otherwise the unsatisfied debt would be placed on his credit report. I told her that he was traveling, I would try to reach him, but I knew him to be someone who paid his bills. She called me back again on Nov. 13, 2025 and asked me if I was going to settle his debt, and that the option to settle it for the reduced amount would only be available until Nov. 14th, or it would go on his credit report, that he had what appeared to be good credit and that this would ruin it. I think they were trying to extort the money from me under false pretenses, as my son insists he has never opened a BestBuy account nor has he been contacted by this company. This sounds very much like a scam to me.

Other - Retail Website Scam

I ordered 2 pairs of jeans. upon receiving them and trying them on i contacted the seller to return them because they didnt fit. after several days i got an email back saying they would compensate me 30% of what i paid to NOT return them and for me to gift them to someone else. i refused that offer. their next offer was a 50% refund and to again gift them to someone else. i again refused. then i got a long winded email about how to return them (no return address given), take pictures, provide tracking, provide order number, etc and they would "consider" a refund. so basically send the jeans back and I might get my money back or accept a portion of what i paid and keep jeans i have no use for

Employment - atsreadyresume

I was contacted by Laura Henry via email and LinkedIn stating she was conducting a retained search for a VP position in my field. Based on her brief description of the role it did seem like it would be a fit with my experience. I did a search on LinkedIn for her and a detailed, and well built out profile came up in which we had several shared contacts so I thought she was legitimate. I asked for more detail, she said it was a confidential search and she couldn't share additional information at this time. Which is plausible, for many retained searches. I sent my resume as requested and received this reply: "Your experience is aligned with the role, but your resume is not ATS-friendly. Kindly adapt your resume to be ATS-friendly as I need it asap. For creating an ATS friendly resume, please visit https://atsreadyresumes.com/ and send me your ats resume once the recommended website has completed it. For now, precise details about the role and our client are under wraps due to confidentiality protocols. Once we align our schedules, I’ll shed more light on this. I’ll review my calendar and circle back with potential timelines for our continued discussion. Regards, Laura Henry" I didn't really read the full email just that I needed to update my resume to be more ATS friendly - which should have been my first clue - because if she is the executive recruiter why would my resume need to go through an ATS? I did update my resume then clicked the link as I thought it was just going to show me an example - but it was a resume generator which required a $17.00 fee for an editable resume. Thankfully I didn't pay for the service but I am alarmed by the sophistication of this scam and concerned that there a many many people who may have paid since the fee seems so minimal and there are so many people looking for positions. Looking for a job is a full-time job made even more difficult by scams like this. This is an alarming trend and truly the big tech companies - like Microsoft who owns LinkedIn should do more to protect its paying users. They charge an excessive amount to companies ($20K - $200K annually) and individuals (sometimes thousands of dollars annually) to use their platforms and the scams are as prevalent as found on free social media sites like Facebook or Craigslist.

Online Purchase - Bestbestones

I ordered a shirt and M-65 Field Jacket from Bestbestones via an advertisement received on Facebook. I received a confirmation email on 10/25/2025 containing a customer service email address and tracking number. Several days later I attempted to track the items and to contact customer service using the addresses on the confirmation email only to be advised they were invalid. I then contacted my credit card company and advised I wanted to cancel the order and that my attempts to contact the vendor were not successful. They credited my account. Several days later the items ordered were received. They did not fit and the M-65 Field Jacket was more like a shirt than a jacket. I went to the Bestbestones webpage and reviewed their return policy and used the customer service address as shown on the webpage and requested information on the return address. CSR responded promptly and advised they would not provide a return address until I photographed the items, the packaging received, and the size labels on each item. This requirement was not set forth in their published return policy. I refused to provide photos because I considered this a breach of contract and outside their printed return policy, but I did confirm that their photos in their order confirmation email was accurate and reflected the condition the items were in and that I would be willing to return the items at my cost once I received a return address for the return. I advised them that after 5 days if they failed to provide a return address I would destroy the items received. As of this date and time I still have not received a return address. I have attached a copy of their return policy which they elected to amend after the contract was made.
