GROUNDINGOFFICIAL.COM I ordered an earth grounding fitted Queen bedsheet which arrived quickly from a Burnaby, BC location. I used the sheet for 2 weeks and was surprised by the positive results on my body pains and sleep quality. After washing the sheet it stopped working. I tried using different outlets on the sheet, as there are 4 different placement options on the sheet. I looked up the warranty period and realized I had a 90 day money back guarantee. I contacted them and initially they requested photos of the sheet showing its condition and to confirm its use after washing. This would help them identify the issue and guide me on my next steps. I sent 2 pics of the sheet still on my bed. Then on the next email response they instructed that the sheet be returned to Germany and provided an International address to return the sheet to; and after I provided proof of sending package by providing a tracking number of the package they would provide a full refund after receiving the sheet. As I keep all original packaging on orders that have a warranty period, I realized that the order I received was sent from a Burnaby, BC address, so I responded by email that I would not return the sheet to an International shipping address provided as the product was sent to me from a local BC address. I told them that I expected an immediate refund or a replacement product to be sent. Again they responded that although they understood my concern about an International address they were unable to offer a refund or return on my order. I responded with an email suggesting that they reconsider their response as The Grounding Official website states -“9/10 users love us. If you don’t, we offer a 100% Money Back Guarantee with no questions asked’’. I attached a print screen of this to the email. I wrote that I expected a full refund to be processed immediately. I asked for the Manager to call me and provided my phone number. Their final email response was -“Thank you for reaching out and sharing your concerns. We truly understand your position, we’ve reviewed your request carefully. After consulting with our management team, we regret to inform you that we are unable to offer a return or refund for this order. We sincerely appreciate your understanding, and if you have any questions. about your product or need assistance with it’s use, we’d be happy to help.” Yep, I got duped but I’m doing my part to hopefully save someone else some money and stress of being swindled. We live ‘n learn. They will get theirs.

Other - Publishing

I am submitting a complaint regarding TSI Journals / The Science International Journals, which appear to be operating a predatory publishing scam targeting scientists and physicians. After a friend found their site and we submitted a manuscript I quickly realized this was substandard, I was informed—only after acceptance—that I would be required to pay an article processing fee of approximately 2300 euros, a charge that was not clearly disclosed prior to submission. When I attempted to withdraw the article upon learning of these unexpected fees, the journal began pressuring me to pay an additional “withdrawal fee” in order to cancel the manuscript. This behavior is coercive, unethical, and fully inconsistent with legitimate academic publishing. The journal used misleading communication, lack of transparency, and financial pressure in an attempt to extract money from me. This is a significant concern for the broader scientific community, as trainees, researchers, and clinicians may be vulnerable to this type of exploitation. I request that the BBB investigate TSI Journals for deceptive business practices, including: • Non-transparent fees • Attempts to extort payment after article withdrawal • Misrepresentation as a legitimate scientific journal • Coercive and threatening communication aimed at extracting money These practices constitute a serious scam that undermines scientific integrity and preys on professionals trying to share their work responsibly

No. Then he said that my android phone was compromised and there were several hackers in my phone and security would help me remove them. Then he wanted me to install app to secure my phone. I insisted proof of his Amazon status then I was transferred to another who identified himself as Michael Baker at BBB Vancouver. His reg, # BBB200487. I asked for his direct phone , # and he gave 705-805-0704 anti-fraud dept. As he talked, he became more annoyed at my negative attitude, saying he was trying to help me clean phone of 78 hackers.... Amazon reference now changed... All the while he had a mirroring app on for 2.34 so I hung up and uninstalled the app. I did call the 705-805-0704 # (which he told me to write down so it is probably gone now) and Michael Baker answered. I hung up and called BBB Vancouver to speak with ******* who told me to file this with you. If you have any advice to ensure the app is gone ... Or... How they knew about problems with my Amazon acct must be because my phone is listening to me trying to contact Amazon over a problem getting into my acct. I never could reach Amazon as there is no direct email support or phone #.... So what can I do. Typically I do not answer calls unless they have a 604 prefix but this is a scam and at 78 I am scared

Employment - Employment - Task Optimization Scam

The company offers pay to their employees for uploading datasets. These employees pay 7pmltd to give them access to these datasets - up to 3 at a time. But the cost of the dataset uploads varies and can be expensive. Once the person uploads the datasets ( 100% completed ) they can withdraw their profits from a PayPal account. The issue arises when an employee is led to believe that they have fulfilled their upload requirement. Employees have no control over the dataset pricing. They also have no control over how many datasets will be assigned to them - three, two or one. A dataset may cost a very large amount to upload just to complete the final 1/2 % of the requirement. This keeps access to the profits you might earn just out of reach. Employees cannot change / switch their assigned datasets, so they’re locked in to finding the funds to pay for the upload by any other means.

I've been trying to repay the assistance fund since last week. The program that I was in came to an end and we were told that it ended so l've been waiting to return the funds and the assistant told me they're working on a new program. I'm not in that program. My program ended and I want to settle my account. I owe them the return of the Assistance funds which is 50 K and I also need to return to them 10% of my earnings which is around 50 K and they were offering some sort of system. They said I could purchase the basic if that's still available. I would like to pay for that if not, the program has concluded and I am trying to settle my account. I thought that I could take my own funding out, but I see that I can't. Can you please advise how I can give them their money back and I get mine. Otherwise, I'm beginning to feel this is some sort of slaughter program and I need to know what my next steps please advise thank

Phishing - Spectrum Imposter

Subject: Fraudulent Billing, Deceptive Business Practices, Service Throttling, and Financial Harm To Whom It May Concern, I am filing a formal complaint against Spectrum (Charter Communications) for a pattern of deceptive, fraudulent, and predatory business practices that have directly disrupted my life, my work, and my financial stability. For two years, Spectrum charged me for 1 Gig Internet service while knowingly failing to provide the required hardware capable of delivering those speeds. They billed me at a premium rate for a service they knew I could not physically receive through the equipment they installed in my home. This is not an error. It is not a misunderstanding. It is systemic, intentional misrepresentation for financial gain. Despite repeatedly asking Spectrum to correct this, refund the fraudulent charges, or provide the proper hardware, they refused to fix the issue and continued billing me for a service they absolutely knew they were not delivering. When I finally refused to pay for a service that they were knowingly not providing, Spectrum retaliated by cutting off my internet entirely. --- SERVICE THROTTLING & PHONE DATA SABOTAGE In addition to the fraudulent internet billing, Spectrum has repeatedly throttled my cell phone data without cause or notice, directly interfering with my ability to: run my business handle work responsibilities access essential services communicate professionally complete online tasks tied to my income This throttling occurs even when my bill is paid. It is deliberate obstruction and it impacts my livelihood. --- HARM & DISRUPTION Spectrum’s actions have caused significant, measurable harm: Financial harm from being billed for an unavailable service for two years Loss of work opportunities due to internet outages and throttling Business disruption caused by unreliable service that I depend on daily Stress, wasted time, and ongoing instability caused by Spectrum’s refusal to take accountability Retaliatory termination of service when I demanded corrections instead of continuing to overpay Spectrum has shown a clear pattern of billing deception, bad-faith customer treatment, and retaliatory behavior. --- REQUEST FOR FTC INVESTIGATION I am requesting the FTC investigate Spectrum for: 1. Fraudulent billing practices 2. False advertising & misrepresentation of service capabilities 3. Failure to provide contracted service 4. Retaliatory service termination 5. Unauthorized data throttling 6. Systemic deceptive conduct affecting consumers I have documentation, accounts, and a clear timeline reflecting Spectrum’s misconduct and am prepared to provide it in full. Their practices are not isolated accidents — they represent a consistent pattern of abuse, and the financial and professional harm I have suffered is significant. Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Resume Now deletes your account when you ask for a refund so then there is zero trace of you in their system, therefore making a refund impossible. Contacted chat and that’s what came about it after going back and forth for 30 minutes. I make my own resumes and do not remember setting up a free trial. They got nervous once I mentioned the BBB, so I assume they might not be up to anything good. Even if I don’t get my money back (despite that leaving me with $40 to my name and without a job) I want them dinged if possible because it’s a bit ridiculous.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I work with kids with autism as a behavioral therapist and licensed teacher, and I pursued their test to gain insight and knowledge out of curiosity. I can’t fathom who would justify their “report” as legitimate or thorough, and I think that providing vague, irrelevant summaries (in fact, opposite of the responses given- Ex: I state the individual agrees that social cues and sarcasm are easily understood, and their summary provides, “Social interactions are often challenging, requiring conscious effort to understand cues, expressions, and unspoken rules.” ) speaks volumes on this company’s legitimacy (that example is one of many). There is a US phone number for their company and US address in FL, yet they hold an address located in Bulgaria on other webpages of theirs. No legitimate service provided for their charges. What a great concept to have the tools and knowledge to support others in navigating and understanding themselves and others….but not when it is a scam. I don’t care if the cost is under $3, (more like reoccurring membership fees of $39.99 and $59.99). I’d like a refund for accepting this claim that is wildly opposite of what they advertised. I hope others don’t waste their money or time. Providing 10-question quizzes on marketing and financial literacy is completely irrelevant of the autism spectrum and understanding personality traits. How clever to profit off people who genuinely have a curiosity of a deeply misunderstood topic, for themselves or others.

Phishing - TEMU Order not received

I used Temu for the first time on November 18th 2025. Ordering from its website from a supplier named Colllla. The item ordered was a sexual wellness device that was supposed to be 50 inches, and 41.9 pounds. Two days later the item was picked up by FedEx. FedEx reported that the packages total weight was only 28 pounds. I had then reached out to the supplier saying there must have been a mix up the item was under weight making it the incorrect item ordered. The supplier didnt reply to me. During the shipping period another person on the website left a 1 star review for the same item that he received was incorrect and under weight. The supplier has a no return/refund policy for any opened packages. Mine is still unopened in its orginal shipping box. They are arguing that the item is correct and does not have any flaws and met quality inspection upon leaving warehouse. But my argument is that it is the incorrect item since it does not weigh the 41.9 pounds that was ordered. Im still waiting for a resolution to this incident and wanted to report them so it doesnt continue to happen to others.

Resume Now deletes your account when you ask for a refund so then there is zero trace of you in their system, therefore making a refund impossible. Contacted chat and that’s what came about it after going back and forth for 30 minutes. I make my own resumes and do not remember setting up a free trial. They got nervous once I mentioned the BBB, so I assume they might not be up to anything good. Even if I don’t get my money back (despite that leaving me with $40 to my name and without a job) I want them dinged if possible because it’s a bit ridiculous. Especially if I did not utilize the service whatsoever, and they’d be able to see that if they didn’t delete my account (instead of cancel the subscription that I did not intend to purchase as I was not using the **** service)

Employment - Employment - Tanchel transport

I initially received an email for a position that I do not have any qualifications for and I didn't apply. Then after a few days they sent another email mentioning to check my spam folder to fill out the form attached. I immediately noticed that the form link had .php extension which was suspicious and I searched on the internet regarding the company and thus saw on bbb.org about similar experience of another person.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Rob Stevenson

The website, robstevenson.ca, is at the very least misleading, inaccurate and not trustworthy and at the most, a total scam. The pictures are likely AI generated. They are using a Canadian domain as well as offer free shipping via “Canada Post” however, the product is coming directly from China. The product I received was not the product I ordered on the website - many discrepancies. It is also of very poor quality despite the website claiming they use of “premium materials”.
