The website appeared to be an official government website for passport applications. Listed on the bottom of the page in fine print it says the website is not affiliated with the government, but it appears to be on first glance. After collecting your personal information, it charges you around 60 dollars for a form available for free on the government website. The completed form is then emailed to you, where it clarifies that you must pay additional funds to renew your passport by mail.

Online Purchase - VIN Number Search Website Scam

I was trying to check a VIN # on a travel trailer. I found the website vinhistoryusa.com. The first charge is $1 and then if you don't cancel they charge $29.95/mth. I intended on just using it the one time and cancel. I never made it through the payment process, every time I entered my information it kept looping in circles and I could not complete the process and moved on to another website. I never received a confirmation or a VIN report. I noticed I was charged. I tried to contact the company through chat, phone and emails. All they kept saying is respond to the confirmation email and cancel. I told them several times I never got one. The process was never completed. They charged my account again the following month also. I had to close my card. This place is a scam.

This is a warning to refrain from shopping at the Maxora store website. They have stolen images of dresses and clothing from a verified retailer, *********, and are using those images to fraudulently mislead and misrepresent that they are selling the same quality dresses and clothing for a percentage of the price. Then when you go to return the product for a full refund, the shipping costs back to their country of origin, China, [ at the location provided below] costs 4x what the value of the item purchased cost. The quality of their dresses are shockingly inferior, (even for the price they have listed as they do not show the true quality of the dresses they are selling for had they showing in detail I would not have relied and purchased the items at all) have a horrible strange fishy smell, and have no tags on them. This retailer is a scam!

Website advised a "hand made" stained glass lamp in the shape of a cat. The website also states it is a "closing sale" and they claim to be in San Diego but the product was shipped from Asia, then to New Jersey, then to me in Massachusetts. There is also a picture of a man working with stained glass to help sell that this item is also stained glass. It was made of plastic, there were paint scrapes on the bottom and the "lamp" is broken, the are pieces tattling around inside and I can't open it to check. I paid for the item and even bought shipping insurance since it was supposed to be made out of glass. The website also falsely states: Welcome to Clara San Diego For many years, I’ve poured my heart into curating handmade creations—lamps, mugs, and decorations that bring warmth, light, and personality into every home. Each piece is more than just décor—it’s a little story, crafted with love and meant to last. Today, you can enjoy up to 80% off across the collection. It’s a rare opportunity to bring home one of my favorite designs at an unforgettable price. Thank you for supporting Clara San Diego and making this journey so special. ??

Purchased a weight set on a website, the 3rd party payment company used was Stripe. I initially got a strange looking confirmation email but the email address was off and the links on it went no where. I tried tracking the item but it never updated and the next day the link to track did not work at all. I saw who the payment went to through my banking app and tried reaching out to them via the email on their website. They initially got back to me saying they refunded me but never said who they refunded or what bank. I got more suspicious and continuing emailing them but they stopped responding. No item and no more emails have been received in the last few weeks.

Online Purchase - Foreign Retail Website Scam

I opened my computer the screen is on msn. I saw a beautiful hand carved, hand painted Halloween plaque, I ordered 2/ 25.00$ each. The site had shop button, and it said USA. Once I received tracing it indicated CHINA!!! First red flag, my heart sank. Of course, as soon as I received the package it was 2 cardboard photos of the plaque, I ordered with holes punched out, with two pieces of string!!! I was very angry and felt violated. As soon as I opened it, I knew they were a scam. I did contact them immediately and have been going back and forth. I told them I did NOT receive the products I ordered and would ONLY accept a full refund. They offered an 8.00$ refund, then a few days later after I said again FULL REFUND, they said mail it back to China... for 35.00$!!! Which I know they will NOT do the refund, and they will have their cardboard photo to scam someone else! I just want to spare anyone else from having this happen to them. I told them I knew what they did to me...I would inform the public. This is the address they sent me for returns-No.7, Songgang Tianyang 2ndRoad, 1st floor, Songgang Subdistrict, Boan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China, 518105 Contact: Slbei Xiao Phone: 13692256065

I’ve never received an order placed through Facebook advertising. I haven’t received it nor any info — none of the links work. I contacted the company and they said they don’t handle orders on Facebook and there’s nothing they can do. I’ve not heard from the company and the email looks personal versus professional. I believe I’ve been scammed and need to recoup my money. None of their links to check your order work. They use the business name of Pebble but are selling from the business SHEGLAM.

Scam website claimed to sell mystery packs of potentially valuable football cards. A purchase was made and there wasn’t a confirmation email or any follow up. After several weeks not receiving the product I reached out via email asking about the purchase. A USPS tracking number was given and it showed no activity on the product. Scam business claimed that USPS lost the package and would send another. Again no confirmation of package or tracking information was given. After emailing again about when the product would arrive the scam company stopped responding. No phone number, address or alternate email is listed as a contact option. I was able to dispute charge on my credit card and reported company as scam.

I ordered a dress online and when I received it, it was not the color, fit, or quality that I expected. I immediately contacted them regarding a return and provided photos as requested, and received a message back asking me to buy another dress for an additional $40, and when I refused that, they said that they would send me $10 because returning the item would be too long/difficult/expensive. They even suggested "You can resell the dress you have received at the second-hand market to get some money." Clearly a scam, stay away!!

Purchased a play parachute online for 9.99 after which my bank reached out to say 2 suspicious purchase attempts in the amount of approximately $800 were made.

I reached out to the company by email telling them what happened and inquiring about my legitimate purchase and what its status was. No response was received. After 2 weeks of no update on shipment of item, I reached out again by email and again no response. I then reached out to my bank to dispute the transaction and after review they credited the amount of $9.99 back to my account.
