Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The Harper and Lane website describes a 50-year company history, and the items they present to sale appear to be good quality. Iordered a dress. The dress I received was made out of cheap fabric that looked and felt like acetate. Per the website instructions, Iemailed them to request refund instructions. We ultimately had several email exchanges. My responses to every one of their emailswas to clearly state my request for a refund. First, they requested a picture or the item, which I sent. Then they offered me areplacement item for free, but I would have to pay $12.95 shipping for it and would not have to return the dress. Then they offered a20% refund without me returning the item, then a 50% refund without me returning the item, with the stated intention of 'saving methe cost of shipping the item to China' for the refund. They sent me the return address in China, and as someone who has livedoverseas I could tell it is not a valid address. This is the address they provided: Country: China Province: Zhejiang Province City:Hangzhou District: Qiantang District Street: No. 17, 8th Avenue Complex / Park: Tianma Sihong Park Building: Building B, 2ndFloor Additional location description: Behind the passage Warehouse: Minguang Warehouse B Recipient: Kitty Yang Di Postalcode:310018 Phone: 19032237352 They misrepresent their items and make it virtually impossible to obtain a refund.

I found a job listing for Priceline on Facebook. It was remote, you are paid to leave reviews of local hotels that you have stayed at. They called the reviews a "session" and you were paid for every session you did. I had a woman working over me, I would do 50 sessions for her and 30 for myself. I had to pay to leave for each session and was told I would get the money back after I finished my quota. The first time I did it I paid them $26 and got $26 back after I completed the sessions. She told me I was buying Bitcoin with the money I paid. We only communicated usinf WhatsApp. She kept offering me deals, I buy a specific amount of Bitcoin and complete my sessions and I would get paid more. I have given them just under $15,000 and have not recieved anything in return. She keeps pestering me to complete more sessions and pay them more money. She wants me to give her another $2,000.

Employment - Employment Scam

I was contacted about a freelance opportunity mining bitcoin. "Working less than an hour a day can earn you upwards of $6000 per month.. blah blah." I had received many of these texts and ignored them, but this one stood out as they claimed to be from a staffing agency I had used in the past. The opportunity wasn't listed on the staffing agency website, but they said it was a limited freelance opportunity. I was promised no up-front costs. I gave it a shot and earned decent money the first 4 days. The 5th day, they offered a "salary" of $1500 to my account. I then encountered "bundles" that caused my account to be negative. I had to pay to cover the costs, but I was promised to get everything back, plus commission, after the set was completed. By the end of that one set, I had encountered 3 bundles, deposited $5000 of my own money, and my "account" was negative over $18,500. Over the next couple months, I worked my way back even (somehow) with deposits from my paychecks and from my recruiter who promised this was still legit. One the day my final $100 was deposited, I went to withdraw everything as promised and encountered an error. Apparently, because I did not finish my order that day, my account was flagged as delinquent, lowering my "credit score" for my account. I was then told I had to wait until my "credit score" reached 1000, which would take 1000 days, or 3 years. I filed a complaint with the FBI cyber crimes. I warned legal action. I am completely lost.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

My mother in law ordered Ozemburn through Facebook costing 311.64. We discovered she ordered in and returned in via mail 3 days later. The vendor stated they received the return but was not issuing a credit even though there was a 30 day money back guarantee. Discover originally credited the charge with a dispute, but reversed the charges as the vendor declined to refund the money. When we contacted Cartpanda they said their status is closed and we need to contact the bank which we did and they told us again that we had to contact the vendor. The vendor told us once again there is nothing we can do. My husband tried calling Cartpanda back and they would not answer his call. The voicemail would hang up. So I called from a different number and they stated they had nothing to do with the transaction and we should email [email protected] which was not stated to my husband when he called and it was the same representative on then phone for both calls.

Government Agency Imposter

I received a letter titled “2025 FINAL NOTICE – Annual Registration” for my business in Virginia. The notice was sent by a company called Next Step Filings and stated it was a “Commercial Filing Service for VA Corporate Entities.” The document requested a payment of $135 to complete my 2025 LLC registration and included a deadline to respond by August 20, 2025, with a due date of August 31, 2025. It also stated that the $135 includes a $50 state fee and a late filing fee. There was a mention of a $10 discount if paid online before August 10, 2025, using coupon code “SAVE10.” The mailing includes: Business name and address pre-filled A QR code linking to NextStepFilings.com for online payment Fields requesting my signature, printed name, email, and business name Language referencing Virginia Code §13.1-1050 A return address for payment: Next Step Filings 11357 Nuckols Rd #1259 Glen Allen, VA 23059 In fine print, it states that “Next Step Filings is not a government agency, is not affiliated, and not providing legal advice.” No state seal or official government department name is listed. This appears to be a third-party solicitation that may confuse business owners into thinking it is a required state filing.
