Tuesday September 8th 2026 I called a locksmith I found on google that was mobile and would drive to me. I asked for a quote on the phone the lady who answered said she can't quote me on phone she would send someone and they will quote me in person. When the guy who said his name is Joseph came I asked him how much would it cost me and he told me he would let me know first he needs to see which key he needed etc... I gave him a couple of minutes while he was back and forth from his work van to my car. During the whole time he was back and forth I repeatedly asked him about 4-5 more times how much is it going to be ? Each time he said "hold on" or "I'll let you know in a minute " well at the end when he was done he went to write on this receipt my total that was 1,800 and handed it to me to sign I told him I did not have that much money and why didn't he tell me it would be this much and he got upset and said "I did tell you you just weren't paying attention" I said I don't know how you want me to pay you if I don't have this much and if you'd told me this price I would of said no don't do it. He then got upset and told me he is not leaving until I pay him. Then he said "I won't charge you for taxes and fees" and dropped the price down to $1075 and said that's the best he can do because my car can't program with only 1 key so I needed 2 keys. He didn't program the 2 key fobs he only made regular keys so I am not able to lock and unlock my car on the key fob I have to do that manually so I don't understand why I was charged this much if the key fobs are not programmed and unusable. I gave him $680 in cash which was all I had from my rent money and groceries. And called my mom to Zelle him the rest. When she tried to Zelle him, her bank flagged the payment sent to Joseph's email: [email protected] which was $395. My mom called her bank to speak to someone about the payment getting flagged. She was put on hold for about 30 minutes. Joseph started to get unprofessional and impatient with me. And demanded the rest of the money. I told him my mom is working on it but she's on hold to please be patient. He then started getting upset of how long it was taking and called someone on his phone speaking a language I couldn't understand. I told him I was feeling uncomfortable with how close up he was getting to me and how he was not being patient because he kept demanding the money so he can leave. I asked him to call the cops if he wanted to but we were working on it. My son came home on the bus from school so I had to walk to the front of my apartment to get my son and Joseph followed me. I did not feel comfortable being around him and just wanted to get me and my son away so I asked my mom to Zelle me the money instead and I will go to my bank to pull out the money. I told him I'm going to my bank to pull it out and he followed me. I handed him the total of 1,075 and he took off. I don't understand why it cost that much if he did not program any of the keys. I could not find the business on google after this happened because I wanted to call and make a complaint about him and about the price. Not only was the company not showing up on google but the phone number I first called to get a quote the number said it was disconnected. So unfortunately I am unable to get ahold of someone for this issue. I would just like to put a warning for this guy as a scammer. I did not get the service he charged me for.

Counterfeit Product
This company advertises on Facebook and misrepresents shoddy products. They respond via AI and do not answer the telephone. They sent two shirts that were ordered as men's Medium but they said that internationally, men's Medium sizes are X Large. This is not true. A man's Medium is a woman's XL, but that's not what they said. There are many complaints about this company on Facebook regarding products that are falsely represented as high quality and in fact are junk, or products lost in the mail and no communication. It's obviously a cheap ripoff company with what looks like a small office above a Chinese restaurant in Vancouver. Also it appears they gave the wrong postal code. Until recently there were complaints on their website but those have been removed. I didn't try to send the shirts back because of the high cost and my assumption I probably would never get a refund anyway from the complaints I've read from others.

Worthless Problem-solving Service
I paid USA Trademarkers $735 for trademark services. After receiving my payment, the company repeatedly stalled the filing process and provided various explanations for the delay. In approximately mid-August 2026, I was told by the company that my trademark application had been filed with the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).
However, I still have not received a USPTO serial number, filing confirmation, or any documentation that independently verifies that an application was actually submitted.
Because of these circumstances, I began researching the company and found information indicating that individuals associated with the operation may have used other trademark company names and that other customers have reported similar experiences involving payments, delays, and alleged failure to properly file trademark applications.
I was also given the name of a case manager/representative who identified himself as:
Daniel G. Boyd
Attorney State Bar License #332518
I independently located and spoke with the real Daniel Boyd at 213-995-5732. During that conversation, he stated that he does not work with USA Trademarkers and does not provide trademark services through this company. This raised serious concerns that his identity and professional credentials may have been misrepresented to me.
Based on the circumstances above, I believe I may have been the victim of a fraudulent trademark service operation. I have already filed disputes with my bank regarding the charges and am requesting that this matter be investigated thoroughly.
I can provide supporting documentation, including payment records, communications with USA Trademarkers, representations made to me regarding the USPTO filing, and information concerning the individual who claimed to be Daniel G. Boyd.
I am requesting:
An investigation into USA Trademarkers and the individuals involved.
Verification of whether my trademark application was actually submitted to the USPTO.
Investigation into the alleged use of an attorney's identity and bar license information.
Assistance in recovering the $735 I paid for services that I believe were not properly provided.
Documentation of any findings or actions taken regarding this complaint.
I am prepared to provide all relevant evidence and cooperate with any investigation.

Counterfeit Product - Summer London LLC
My experience with Summer London LLC and Caprice Esty involved a loss of $5000 related to a hair purchase/transaction. I paid $5000 expecting to receive the hair/products and services that were agreed upon, but I did not receive what I paid for and was unable to get my money properly returned or the issue resolved.
After the payment was made, I experienced problems getting clear communication and a resolution regarding my $5000. I repeatedly attempted to address the situation, but the issue remained unresolved. Based on my personal experience, I believe I was misled during this transaction and lost $5000.
I am sharing my experience to warn other consumers to be very careful before sending money. Keep copies of all receipts, payment confirmations, text messages, social media messages, invoices, and agreements. Do not send large payments without having the terms of the purchase and refund policy clearly documented in writing.

She knew I was a licensed real estate agent in Florida and indicated that she was calling on behalf of the DBPR, which is our licensing authority in the state. She was offering me the same benefits they offer police, first responders, and others.
When she started asking me, “Oh, I see you're in Fort Myers. How long have you lived there?” I said, “Where? Who are you calling from?” She told me, and I immediately searched it because I was sitting at the computer. The first thing that came up was that it's a fraudulent entity used in phone scams that targets licensed professionals to steal sensitive personal and financial information.

Online Purchase - ZImplistic India Pvt Ltd / Rotimatic Online Retail and Extended Warranty Scam
In January 2026, I purchased a Rotimatic appliance and an extended warranty from Zimplistic Pte. Ltd. (co-founded by Pranoti Nagarkar and Rishi Israni). Delivery was delayed four months until April 2026, bypassing standard credit card dispute windows.
After only four months of use, the machine completely stopped working due to a defect in the dough cup mechanism. Despite having paid for extended warranty coverage, customer support has ignored all requests. Automated messages loop endlessly, emails are bouncing, live chat is unresponsive, and the company has deleted my user account from their website portal, removing my order history and proof of purchase.
Many other victims have reported identical experiences of extended shipping delays, immediate hardware failure, broken warranty promises, and account deletion:

Purple Pleather Cowboy Boots
I purchased a pair of purple cowboy boots. It took over a month to arrive. That should've been my indicator of what was to follow. The boots are made of cheap, paper pleather. I'm afraid of simply pulling the boots up for fear of ripping. So, I went through the process of trying to make a return. I've gotten mundane responses regarding "it's too expensive to return", "I can keep the boots with a 60% credit, or return the boots at my expense (which is costly) and receive only a 10% refund". I had to send a picture and multi reasons for the return. This company is not in the States; the address listed differs. The phone number listed on the website does not work. I'm out of my money; I now accept it. I wish I would have read the reviews prior to purchase.

I bought 2 baseball desk caddy's for my son's when I received the package in the mail they were 2 cheap baseball gloves, so I reached out the the customer service email and asked for a refund / return - which the website said they take returns. They said that I could keep the items and they will refund me 50% which I said no I want all my money I didn't get what I ordered, so then they said that I could return the gloves and I would have to pay to ship them to China, how is that fair since that is not what I ordered. So I reached out to ****** to dispute the transaction since it was not what I ordered and they would not refund me and ****** is refusing to give me my money back. And since now everything is all on the computer and you can't speak to a live person I am now out $69.96 which I think is totally unfair. I am unable to attach all my pictures to show you what I received and what I ordered, but you can go to their website and type in baseball and find the desk caddy and see what it is and they sent 2 cheap folded up baseball gloves.

I was in the market for a new garage door. I think I inquired this service through email. An individual came to my home in the evening of 7/13/26. he looked legitimate at the time, asking questions about measurements and if I wanted the same door as before. He requested a down payment of $945.00. I asked for a receipt, and he said he would email it to me. I asked when the job would start and was told that it would take 2-3 weeks for materials to come. I asked for the phone number of the person that was going to do the job. HE SAID HE COULD NOT GIVE ME THAT INFO. By that time, I had already given him what he wanted and that was my credit card info!!!! I called my credit card company and advised that I had been scammed and to stop payment immediately!!! Since this happened in July 13,2026, I had just assumed that this was a done deal and everything had been taken care of. To my surprised, $945.00 showed up on my credit card statement in late August 2026. I AM STILL FIGHTING TO GET IT REMOVED. THE TRANSACTION WAS DONE BY "SCAN PAY".

am submitting this complaint to formally report what I believe to be deceptive and potentially fraudulent business practices that resulted in a financial loss of $395.00.
I entered into a transaction with this company based on representations that a specific product would be provided for an agreed-upon price. After I made the initial payment, however, the company continued to demand additional fees that were not clearly disclosed or agreed upon at the beginning of the transaction.
These additional charges caused me serious concern because they were inconsistent with what I understood the original agreement to be. I ultimately refused to continue making additional payments and requested a refund of the $395.00 I had already paid.
Rather than resolving my refund request, I was informed that the company’s attorneys or legal representatives would become involved. I found this response concerning, particularly because I was simply requesting the return of money I had paid after the transaction did not proceed according to the terms originally represented to me.
I subsequently informed the company that I intended to report the matter to the Federal Trade Commission and other appropriate consumer-protection authorities.
I believe I was induced to make this payment through misleading representations regarding the actual cost and terms of the transaction. Had the additional fees and requirements been fully and accurately disclosed before I submitted payment, I would not have agreed to the transaction or provided the $395.00.
I respectfully request that the Federal Trade Commission review this matter and determine whether this company’s conduct constitutes deceptive, unfair, fraudulent, or otherwise unlawful business practices. I am also concerned that other consumers may have experienced, or could experience, similar conduct.
I am prepared to provide documentation supporting my complaint, including payment records, receipts, correspondence, text messages, emails, advertisements, invoices, and any other communications demonstrating the original representations, subsequent demands for additional money, my request for a refund, and the company’s response.
I am requesting the return of my $395.00 and ask that the appropriate authorities investigate this matter and take whatever enforcement action is warranted by the evidence and applicable law.
Thank you for your attention to this complaint and for protecting consumers from potentially deceptive business practices.

I got a message from 2 numbers stating that my request has been accepted for $1000. The 2 messages cam from 27913 and 20657. I clicked on the link they sent to try and stop it and entered my last 4 of my social to try and stop it. Click on the next step and they verified my bank information trough automatic verification. I then texted stop to quit the application and stop getting messages. I have not recieved any request for loans on my credit report but reporting scam to prevent any future trouble on my social.

Online Purchase - Whisperdress.com
I noticed the other day that I had a transaction for $39.97 from whisperdress.com that I never visited that website, nor did I ever purchase anything from them. I am filing a dispute with my bank at this time seeing another $39.97 was pulled from my account.

I was contacted and told I had about $18,000 in my account and if I paid a reduced fee of $1400, I would receive this money. I told them I did not have $1400, and it would take me a long time to accumulate that amount of money because my income is from Social Security benefits. Eunice Lawson, who contacted me, said to be sure and let "her" know when I had the money. I told her I would. I have not saved any money toward the $1400 "she" is asking for, and I do not intend to.

I ordered a dress online and the item I received looks nothing like the website one. I reached out cause their website claims 100% satisfaction. But they want to offer only 15% refund and keep the item. I don’t want this item. It is awful
