Good morning. Sophia Perez calling from Bayview Finance. I work in underwriting. Sending this 1st thing so it doesn't get buried under everything else today. Trans Union and Equifax finished their August update, and your file came back with a preapproval for a $41,380 hardship personal loan. No hard credit check. Same day funding available. Payments around $451 a month. What most people do with this preapproval is consolidate everything. Visa, store cards, any balance carrying a high rate, one payment, lower rate, cards back to 0. It's just a cleaner way to run the finances, and honestly, a good move heading into the 2nd half of the year. Call me at 833-809-0587 when you get a minute. I'll give you the straight picture on exactly what you'd qualify for. Preapproval window closes tomorrow, Tuesday, at 3 p.m. Again, 833-8090587. Have a good morning.

Online Purchase - usbest1

On 6/3/2026 I made the mistake of ordering 2 32 terabyte solid state drives that purported to have 4000 megabits per second speed. when I saw the cables were usb a I was skeptical but I plugged one into my computer. File explorer did show a 32 tb capacity but I was not able to test for that. I found that the transfer rate was only 30mbs rather than the 4000mbs advertised. At that rate it would take almost 100 days to transfer 32tb so I couldn't check the capacity. At this point I emailed them complaining about the slow transfer rate. They offered to refund a third of the purchase price which I accepted. Then I tried copying a small amount of data. After several hours when it finished, i found it had only created some empty folders containing no data. I got similar results with the other one. So I emailed them offering to return the drives for a full refund. They didn't want them back and offered me a 50% refund or a credit to buy more of their junk on their web site. I emailed them back demanding a full refund and never heard from them again. Today (8/31/2026) I was watching something on You Tube and was horrified to see that they are still advertising this defective garbage. I would like to see them shut down but since they are from some Asian country (????????????) it's not going to happen. I am submitting this in the hope that others won't get scammed like I did.

Online Purchase - Shecurve

SheCurve advertised their store on Facebook. They advertise womens intimates: bras, underwear, shapewear, and the like. I clicked on their link and followed to their website. They were having a sale. On facebook, they advertised to be an American company. I made a purchase of 2 bras on May 31, 2026. I received email confirmation and a tracking number. After waiting a couple of weeks, I followed the tracking number and discovered it was a company from China. After a few weeks I started contacting their customer service. They are only available through chat and email. There is no phone number. I have been given the run around for 3 months now. Promises of the package being on its way, and then promises of a refund after I confronted them with tracking info showing the package was still in China. After googling the company name, I found that it is a big scam. Today I contacted my bank and disputed the charges. My bank gave me a refund and is investigating my dispute.

Postal letter claiming to be "Home Warranty Division" with a property code and expiration date listed. "Final Notice" at top. The letter claims to be a notice that home warranty secured by our bank (named) may be expiring or has already expired, and that we "have not contacted us yet to get your Home Warranty up to date." Letters like this use scare tactics, in the form of future costly home repairs, to compel a response by calling the listed number, which looks like a toll-free line (and probably is). The name listed at bottom is James Morris, Program Director. The phone number is stated four times in the body of the ltter. At bottom is the line "Not all consumers have previous coverage. We are not affiliated with your current mortgage holder." This is a fine-print disclaimer designed to be negligable. The reverse side of the letter has an abbreviated form of the notice in Spanish.
