I was checking my household mail when I saw a green postcard (image of both sides attached) addressed to my own mother. The post card claimed to be from "Walmart, Target and more". I was able to figure this was a scam before my mother even saw the mail so luckily the scam was not able to get anything from her. This will make it harder for the BBB to properly investigate said scammers but I figured it best to still report it in the hopes they can be stopped before they have the chance to scam someone who doesn't know better or have someone in their life who does.

Counterfeit Product - Pink Salt Trick - Burn Peak

This was advertised and endorsed by Oprah Winfrey as a supplement that would allow you to lose weight with little exercise and had 2 doctors on the video to substantiate it. It does not work. They also sent the two bottles I ordered that were marked on the outside of the bottle as containing 60 tablets per bottle, there was 30 in each bottle. I contacted them and they told me they were sorry but would try to send me some more pills. I was shorted a full bottle of 60 tablets. I am returning the two bottles in their own packaging and I have to pay the shipping. However, the questionairre you have to complete is several pages long and repetitive. If you do not complete it you will not get your money back. You then submit the forms and they tell you it will be at least 60 days before a possible refund.

Online Purchase - Joann Fabrics / impostor

Hello, I wanted to purchase craft supplies to make Christmas gifts and googled Joann Fabrics. The site came up as the third or fourth option. I opened it and it said that the retailer was closing and that the site was being liquidated. The site is very convincing and looks legitimate and as it came up in the google search, I figured it was fine. I made two purchases of fabrics and craft supplies and then realized the site was a scam when I didn't get a receipt email from them and I started googling about it. I've alerted my credit card company about the fraud and cancelled my card. This site should be taken down. Thanks for your help.

Other - Ma Garage Door Repair

I had called the MA Garage Door Repair company to make an appointment to have my remotes checked for my garage door openers.  I was told that we could not come to them because they don’t have a building, that they would have to come to us.
The technician arrived within the appointment time made. He drove here in an older model red Ford truck with no business signage. He followed me into my home as I went to get my remotes from my table near my front door, when the garage is next to my front door.  I told him that we needed to go outside.  
He looked at the remotes and opener and said that the entire system needed to be replaced.  I told him that it was new and I didn’t want to do that.  He said it wasn’t new and that I would need everything  replaced. He also suggested that I purchase a key pad for outside the garage door.  I repeated that I only want the remotes.
 He quoted me $300 for two remotes after I declined a higher amount.  He said to pay him cash because it costs money to use a credit card.  I told him that I would write him a check.  He said to make it out for $350 so that I could tip him $50 for his services.  I told him that businesses don’t request tips for a service call. He said that just for having come to the house, it would be $130.
We agreed for him to do one remote for $150.  He would not use my remote that is identical to the packaged new one he had opened. He said that he didn’t have a second one with him and would have to return.
When he began to work (used a ladder to climb to the garage door opener with his newly unpackaged remote) I called someone to be with us.  I felt that we were being scammed and wanted someone here to witness what was happening. 
He asked if his ‘trainee’ could come to be with him as he worked.  They both had ladders and spent time on them speaking in a foreign language to someone apparently receiving instructions what to do (I could understand numbers).  He was not able to accomplish anything.  I told him that I would pay him for coming out.  He asked for $70 for the service call, but did not ask for a tip (we suspect because we had our witness here with us).  
He was seen by a bystander in the street waving our check and laughing prior to getting into his truck.  He drove away quickly.  We live in a residential area where there are many children out and people walking their dogs.  I didn’t realize until later that perhaps he was driving quickly so that we couldn’t read his license plate number.
After he left, I couldn’t close my garage door with the button on the wall anymore. I called the company and told the representative who answered that the technician just left. He said that he would call him and have him return.  When he didn’t return, I called the company again.  The representative apologized and said that he would call the technician again, then he would call me back himself.  Neither occurred.
We now are afraid of retaliation because we called our bank to stop payment on the check. We are left in a worse situation than prior to when the technician had come to help.  We now have to manually open and close our garage door. 
Please know that the email for the company I had provided is made up in order to be able to advance through the space provided for it in the report.  There is no email on their website (https://repair.magaragedoorrep.com).  The technician said that he was from Northfield when asked.  We don’t know if he was being truthful and there is no address on the website.  The zip code provided is for Northfield, Ohio.
Also, we noted that a 5-Star review that was written in the review section of the website was written by the technician (the representative on the phone had given me the technician’s name).  Another positive review had the last name that was used on the check I’d written. The technician told me that this was the name of the manager.  He dd not want me to write the check out to the company.  He did not provide a receipt.

I believe I found this website through Pinterest. It looked exactly like a Williams-Sonoma website. With, of course, prices too good to be true. I had a bad feeling about it, but I still made a purchase. When I checked my credit card the amount was incorrect at $72. And I didn't recognize the seller, which on my credit card was "Nocerast Atlanta USA". I've just started the dispute process but feel doubtful my money will be returned. When I look Nocerast up on the BBB I saw an identical victims' circumstance also at $72.

Other - Crossroads Car and Truck

Contacted this car lot about a vehicle i was interested in financing. Got approved and then noticed that the loan amount was for a larger amount than i had figured initially. I was willing to look past their slightly larger document fee. But what was alarming was an 800 dollar charge for a pulse safety system installed. I of course declined, and was informed they do this regularly along with other dealers as well..thats odd as I've been buying used vehicles for decades and never encountered this until them. They mentioned some customers resist the service and some are accepting, sure , the ones that are unaware. I was dismissive of the information after speaking with Brandan Brown and just figured id be purchasing my car else where since they refused to remove the unwanted service. Then this morning I became curious of what their angle may be in regards to this pulse safety service. Upon researching i soon discovered that others had indeed had the services forced upon them as well by various dealers. The parts themselves are fairly inexpensive totalling roughly 40 dollars, although Crossroads added 800 dollars to my balance to be financed . To install this mechanism the usual procedure is to splice into the factory wiring for this add on. For my peace of my mind i would only have that done by a professional, preferably the dealership from which the vehicle originally came from. And the final discovery for me reveals that this service of 3rd flashing brake light in rear has had plenty of dispute from officials. I believe it to be illegal here in Ohio based off what ive read. There are several stories of receiving citations from law enforcement due to this install. Only to receive zero aid from dealership who installed and having to pay to have the feature removed , out of pocket. This is all new to me as ive never encountered this before. But at the very least i guess my biggest question is how could a company with a solid reputation force me to install a feature on my vehicle that i not only refused but also appears to not be in good standing with Ohio Highway Safety Regulations. My next question is how often are they doing this and is this company in violation enough to be fined for every time they have done this in the past. May the people at Crossroads Car and Truck have the day they truly deserve using consumer manipulation tactics. As far as the actual consumers out here, folks protect yourselves, times are different these days.

Online Purchase - Moxinox Trading LLC

I ordered two sets of silverware from this company on Amazon in August of 2024. The silverware said in the description that it was made of 18/0 stainless steel, well that was infact a lie. After having the silverware for a couple months, the paint came off of the handle and on the handle it is engraved 18/10. So they lied on multiple different descriptions of their products they are selling. Alot of people choose 18/0 as the healthiest option to use for silverware, hence why I purchased them because that's what they claimed they were made of. Because its a healthier option, the company used false descriptions of their products to mislead people into buying them. If they would have told the truth that the silverware were made of 18/10, I would not have purchased them. It's misleading and illegal to improperly list products you are selling to consumers. They are still currently on Amazon listed this way and lying to consumers. There is no way to contact the seller on Amazon, I had to dig on the internet to find there US address. It will only allow me to upload one screenshot so I uploaded the silverware showing 18/10. They do not list there Denver address on Amazon, instead they list this: "Nearby Nanhe bridge Xianjiao Jieyang Guangdong 522000 CN" with no phone number or contact information.

I then received an email stating that my subscription is active. I went to the website to see what that was about and get my password set up. I looked at the website and they had 30 items for sale and mostly were permanent markers. I went back to my emails and it stated that I had a credit. I clicked on that and brought me to the website where I was awarded $25 in credits to purchase things. I did not want anything they offered and canceled the subscription so that I would not be charged an additional 14.99 in two days. When I canceled my credits were lost and subscription canceled. I called the company to ask about a refund since I did not purchase anything and they told me it was non refundable. I told them it was supposed to be for target and they told me they have no affiliation with target.

I got off the phone and went to my bank account and the $9.99 is a pending credit. This is a scam company and they are a joke. Nothing to offer for products and take your money and say non refundable when you didn’t want the subscription to begin with.
