I ordered this beautiful, glittery silver shirt supposedly from the USA. It took forever to get it and, in tracking it, it appeared to come from China or some other country. When it finally arrived, it was not what I ordered. It was a cheap, thin tie dye shirt that looked nothing like what was advertised. I emailed the company on May 6 and they said I would get 50% of my refund right away and the other 50%, minus a restocking fee of 15%, when they got it back. I was refunded $9.99 immediately and that was all. I returned it certified mail and it was signed for but I never got any more of my money refunded to my credit card. Instead, they tried to charge me $39.99 a few days later and my credit card company flagged them and sent me an email and I told them that I did not authorize any more charges to them and they were supposed to send me a refund. I spoke to someone on the phone from my credit card company too and she cancelled my card immediately and they issued me a new one. I did email this company back on May 19 and never heard back from them. This fake company also goes by the name Belroshop and some of emails I received from them are from Belroshop.com. I will never order online again without checking with the BBB first.

I googled garage door repair and gfound Speedy Garage Door. An Indian guy showed up in a black pick up truck. He added more tension to the springs and the garge door openerer, but it wasnt right. I called anotehr garage door co, and they told me Speedy had installed the wrong springs for the 800 lb weight of my solid door. I called to ask if he could come back out and put in the right springs. he said your garage door opens and closes and that was the job, and there is nothing else they could do for me. I told him I would call the Better Business Bureau. He said tell them I did a good job. I can hear kids yelling in the background.

I noticed an interesting story of a 75 year old woman named Dorothy Callaway in Weaverville, NC who made butterfly homes. Beautiful story about her, how she continued to make these homes after her husband passed and had decided it was time to retire and move to Charlotte, NC to be with her daughter. The article had a link to purchase her butterfly homes. It looked legit and I ordered three of the homes. Several days passed and I had not received an order confirmation or a receipt. I noticed my credit card had been charged and decided to look up the website for a phone number. No phone numbers listed...bad sign. So, I googled the company and immediately discovered it was a complete scam. I was only able to leave a comment under contact on their website. Someone did email me. Below are the emails: New customer message on May 20, 2026 at 5:20 pm Inbox [email protected] [email protected] Wed, May 20, 6:39?PM (22 hours ago) Heyyy M****, Thank you for your message. We will be happy to help you. We are very sorry that you didn't receive your order yet. Please be patient, the demand is currently unexpectedly high, which is why the schedule has been pushed back. We are working on that.. We ask for your understanding! Your order was shipped on May,19,2026. The shipping time is usually only 5-8 business days. Look forward to it :) Your USPS tracking number is: ******************7338 If there is anything else we can help you with, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help :) Best regards Julia from CRAFT FOLK On 05/21/2026 2:20 AM PKT CRAFTFOLK (Shopify) [email protected] Julia, You did not provide me with a receipt. I researched your company and the story behind the handmade butterfly homes. Your site is a scam. The butterfly homes are not handcrafted in Weaverville, NC by Dorothy 'Dot' Callaway. She's not even alive, shame on you!! Furthermore, I looked up the USPS tracking number and it shows only the label was created on May 19th, 2026, not shipped. You need to cancel my order immediately and issue me a full refund. I've talked with my credit card company and explained the entire situation. They have provided me with a case number and will be reaching out to you. [email protected] [email protected] 12:54?PM (4 hours ago) Heyyy M**** , Thank you for your message! We will be happy to help you. We’re sorry to hear about your concerns regarding the order. At this stage, your order has already been processed and the shipping label has been created on May 19th, 2026. Therefore, it can no longer be cancelled. If you still wish to proceed with a return once the package arrives, we will be happy to assist you with that and process a refund according to our return policy. If there is anything else we can help you with, feel free to contact us. We are happy to help :) Best regards Julia from CRAFTFOLK Julia, Your company is false advertising! The product is not handmade by a 75 year old woman in North Carolina. You can cancel the shipping label as I contacted the USPS. Stop scamming people and stop false advertising!! Terrible way to treat people just to make money. Refund me today. This is on their website (Picture attached) Dorothy "Dot" Callaway, 75 Weaverville, North Carolina — ten minutes from Asheville, deep in the Blue Ridge foothills. Her late husband Earl was a finish carpenter. He taught her the teardrop form, and Dot has never built another shape. In thirty-two years she has built more than 3,000 houses — every one with the same slot calibration, every one with the puddler at the base. Every package she packs herself, and she writes a personal note to every buyer. Message from the Artist: Hi — I'm Dot. I built this one by hand, same as all the others. Earl's teardrop shape, same slot calibration I've been using since 1994, puddler at the base. Everything for a reason. Hang it somewhere sheltered, south or east-facing if you can. Fill the puddler with a little damp sand — that's what brings them in. Give it a few weeks. I hope you get visitors. — Dot Callaway, Weaverville, NC craft-folk.com/products/dot-s-handmade-butterfly-house I don't understand how these overseas companies get away with these scams. Their websites should be shut down. Ever see the movie The Beekeeper...

Online Purchase - Imposter of a Legitimate Online Business

I thought I was ordering from Polar Health, a reputable company for fitness tracking. I did a Google search and Poalar Health came up. I like an idiot didn't notice the "a". I looked over several items, checked the return policy and placed my order. A product arrived, the band did not fit my wrist, never turned the product on or synced it to my phone. I reached out to exchange for another product. Still thinking I was working with Polar not Poalar. I realized after getting email after email that they were not going to honor the 30 day return. I believe most emails I am receiving are canned and bot generated answers. I am simply out the money spent. The company has a Wyoming address however the charge also had a foreign currency charge from Germany. Huge error on my part

I ordered two pairs of women's shoes from the online store, called "Mary & Grace Charleston." The web site made it appear the company was owned by 2 American women and store was located in Charleston, South Carolina. After almost a month the shoes arrived damaged, packed in a plastic envelope and were of very cheap materials-all bent up, broken buckle, plastic and with an off putting smell. I immediately requested a full return online and they instructed me to send a photo of the product w/ reason for return. After doing so, I was told they sent me a replacement item and that if I would keep all the shoes, I'd be given a 20% off a future purchase. I didn't ask for a replacement pair and felt they were not willing to give me money back. I insisted that I don't want the product due to it being cheap and that their website contains false advertising (selling "orthotic sneakers" that provide no support, American based company, easy return policy). The company instructed me to return the shoes at my cost to an international warehouse based in China. Here is the address provided on their Return Form. Contact Name: Wang Maoqin, Address: Lane 1177, Jianlan Road, Meixu Street, Yinzhou District. City: Ningbo. Zip Code: 315100. Province: Zejiang. Country: China. Tel #: 15314571683. I emailed them that I'm not paying for return shipping to China & asked for a USA based address since they claim to be in South Carolina. It has been 2 months and I've emailed them about 7-8 times with no luck in getting a refund or any replies. I have notified my credit card company. There is no place on the Mary & Grace Charleston website to write a review (no surprise!) nor is a telephone number provided. Recently, the site seems to be vacated.

This company goes by many names: Mcsnuggs, Jaspers, Snuggs, Used Automotive Parts, etc. Purchased an engine. In the sales receipt it stated no refunds on shipping, handling and booking fees. No cancellation fee mentioned. I was charged for S&H, pallet fee, forklift fee, and the core charge. I NEVER received the engine because I was told it was a bad motor. At that point I requested a refund. They stated they would find another engine. I declined another engine and they claimed I was cancelling the order. Stated all the “fees” were non refundable and claimed I would have a cancellation fee and restocking fee on top of that for an engine I never received. I explained that I purchased the specific engine in question with that mileage and since it was a bad motor the order had been cancelled by them. They still refused to give me a refund of any kind and stated they had not cancelled the order because they would ship me out another one. I again explained that is not what I agreed to pay for. After many attempts to speak to them and multiple people later, they still refused to provide a refund. Strongly suggest no one ever uses them!!!

My Mother in Law received a notice about a recall on her car. Then received a letter regarding a "request for response" to an 888 number which turned out to be a company that did not identify itself on the letter as an extended warranty provider. She is 88 and has memory issue so she turned the communication over to my wife who provided information thinking this had something to do with the recall and after they indicated that to "continue" she would need to pay $266.00 for warranty coverage. Again, they did not identify themselves as an extended warranty organization. My wife is the car taker and under stress to take care of her Mother and therefore was vulnerable thing she was getting the recall taken care of. We stopped the payment through their payment administrator. We attempted to get in touch at the number provided for GPG to cancel this supposed contract within the 24 hour window within the State of Ohio to no avail. They answered the phone and said they'd turn us to the "service dept." and we were first in the que. On hold for over an hour with no hope to talk to anyone.

I called the # and asked the guy what this was about. He transferred me to a lady. She rattled off all of my personal info (SS#, address, DOB) and asked me if that was correct. I told her I'd like to know the company she was with and she just kept saying: this is coming from the courts of your county. She wouldn't tell me who she was or what company she was with. I told her I had just Googled 833-417-7147 and saw that it was listed as a scam. She got very upset and kept trying to ask me if she had my personal info correct. I told her if she was legit, to send me a certified letter in the mail. She hung up.

The same thing happened a second time so I reached out asking for a refund.

Like other complaints here, I attempted to buy weight loss patches. Not only did their website claim to be American made (they were NOT, with international tracking) and claimed to back up their products with 100% satisfaction guaranteed. Their product was significantly smaller than the photos on their website and looked nothing like the product. When I contacted them, they gave me the run around for weeks, ignoring my emails for days, weeks even. I think they were hoping to wear me out so I would give up. I tried calling and no one would answer. I got a VM once and ironically they responded to my email. They continued giving me the run around. I contacted the Ohio attorney general. It’s a SCAM website. The owner is hidden. Nothing but negative reviews and not one legitimate happy customer, no one to claim their received the product and were happy with it. They insulted me by offering me a 30% refund as a “courtesy”, claiming they can’t refund a product that’s been opened or used, yet they have a 100% money back guarantee on their website, or at least they DID. Product was never opened or used. I filed a charge back on my bank card and I received a temporary credit. This is a SCAM. This website needs shut down.

Called the number that came up when Googled Portfolio Recovery inquiring about a debt. The man who answered didn't identify himself as working for Credit Glory when answering the phone. I asked about settling the debt with Portfolio Recovery and he said yes i can get that started for you. He said he needed a dollar to see what he could get started (this should have been a red flag). He continued to portray he worked for Portfolio Recovery which he did not. He told me a price to settle the debt i agreed. I paid the amount and then he proceeded to offer other services (should have been the second red flag). He never once mentioned he worked for Credit Glory and I later found out they were a Credit Repair Agency which i didn't want or need. I immediately canceled and sent a cancelation letter per their contract under the assumption i would be refunded my money. I sent it and required a signature I also sent an e-mail explaining my confusion and the mix up. There business hours were Monday- Friday and conveniently Credit dispute letters were sent out late Friday night. I replied to that e- mail again expressing I didn't need their services and that i thought they were Portfolio Recovery. I then missed a call Monday from them and also received an e-mail saying they would be contacting me. I received another call Tuesday and i answered and basically was told they would not issue a refund because said letters were sent out.

Online Purchase

Scammer(s) claim to be selling as breeder of a black Labrador puppy named Daniel. Initially advertised as $600 with free pet transport and delivery from MN next day service upon payment. Once initial payment is agreed the scammer then raises the price to $800 USD to accommodate for travel costs and home delivery (airport pickup $150 USD or delivery $200 USD). I chose delivery. All of this is paid by PayPal or Zelle. Delivery agency contacts next which is also a scam as they say that due to unforeseen circumstances the crate for travel needs to be changed to one that costs $980 USD (apparently refundable once delivery of pet is complete). Once agency receives $980 USD for travel needs they then say due to non-awareness between state laws that OH (my state) requires pet travel insurance in the area of $890 USD. None of this was disclosed by breeder or by agency upfront and they just continued to ask for more and more money on a pet advertised for $600. Text messages from various numbers started being received telling me without urgent payment my purchased Lab puppy would not be travelling. Upon calling the phone number provided no one would pick up then they turned off the phone. Emails with receipts to follow. Attached please find 4 compiled emails from breeder and delivery agency. I believe these all to be part of the scam. After refusing to pay an additional $980 USD (who can afford $2600 USD on a $600 USD advertised lab puppy?) they stopped reaching out and answering my text messages, calls, or emails.

She was charged $187 and $122 separately from this site. One of the medications is “Memozepil” and the other is unknown. I have attempted to contact them via this phone number and email: Email: [email protected] ?? SMS: +1 (507) 448-8190 I have also attempted to contact two other names and other contact emails provided in the emails sent to her.. This site is taking advantage of the elderly, who already are struggling with memory loss. No order number was ever sent to her. No receipt listing what she purchased. The only thing that was said in any email to indicate she HAD purchased something is, “****, I need to be transparent with you. The 70% discount I offered you on extra Memopezil bottles shouldn't exist. Our finance team has already asked to remove this deal twice” and “Subject: ****, Memopezil order update”.

I ordered what I thought would be a one time purchase that was turned into a monthly subscription. They claim that the subscription can be canceled easily at any time. There is no way to cancel the subscription once you give them your information. They continue to charge your card and send excessive amounts of the product. I even had my card number changed and they still managed to slip the charge through. I have filed a dispute with my credit card but I have been warned that they will likely change their name and process it again next month under a different name.

Identity Theft - Medical Equipment Billing Scam

I received an email from this company saying that I had an order for medical supplies which I do not. I have no need and I’ve never used this company so I felt that someone either had tried to use my personal information to order medical supplies or that someone was stealing the companies information and trying to pose as them to try to get information from me so I tried to call the company to find out if someone is using my name or using their name. I called a number off their website not the number in the email, I did not get far with them. They were not helpful. They only wanted my personal information which seems suspicious. They wouldn’t look it up with the order number from the email. They said they weren’t able to which also seemed Suspicious so I asked to speak to a supervisor and I was transferred. I had already been on hold for over a half hour, and I told her that I was suspicious of the company for the fact that she insisted that she couldn’t look anything up without my personal information and she kept referring to me in my order and the type of supplies that I ordered, even though I kept telling her that I didn’t have an order and I didn’t know what kind of supplies they were because I didn’t do business with them so I told her I was going to report them to the Better Business Bureau.

I was on Facebook scrolling through looking for a work from home job because between my boyfriend and I we have only one vehicle right now and he works outside of the home, so he needs it more than me if I worked from home then it would be a win win for us both. I found a video by this company called Metyis so I clicked on learn more and then I was contacted by a lady on Facebook messenger about this company and was given a code to put into the app Teams for an interview with a Robert Nagle who started walking me through the next few steps to get started with this company. I received a welcome email with a welcome letter from an Alex Taylor, followed by another email stating that they were going to be sending me a checkbook to purchase an apple laptop, apple iPhone, an apple tracker and of course a scanner, printer, and copier. But supposedly I didn't receive my first checkbook because I forgot to give them a photo of the front and back of my debit/credit card for authorization purposes only but I was smart enough to go on my bank app and freeze my card and thank God I did because I would have been charged $60 three times($180) by Bradford Exchange Company for each so called checkbook. Now I'm suppose to be waiting for a single check to arrive through FedEx with this tracking number 381244057999, it told me that it is coming from Birmingham, AL and it said that it was FedEx overnight, that was 5/12/2026 and I still haven't gotten anything ( I live in Canton, OH).

The company is offering a weight loss medication and stating that it is $129.00 per month. My card was charged on May 2nd for $129.00. On May 4th I was notified that the prescription was sent to a pharmacy to be filled and would ship to me directly and that I would receive tracking information. It’s May 18th. AltRX does not have a phone number. I can only contact through email. I asked several times for them to provide me the pharmacy information so I can follow up regarding the prescription and I was informed that’s confidential. AltRX informed me they’d follow up with the pharmacy and then three days went by I followed up with AltRX and they didn’t have any information to provide. They then informed me that they are cancelling my order when I did not request for it to be cancelled. I was informed that they will be keeping $80.00 of my $129.00 because orders that are cancelled $80.00 is kept for them due to the prescription being “filled.” The prescription isn’t filled which is why I don’t have tracking information, I read a ton of bad reviews online where people said they’re dealing with the same thing and that there cards are randomly charged $299.00 a month after without notice. I informed them that I expect my full 129.00 back since they chose to cancel my order and don’t have information regarding the status of the prescription. This company really needs to be looked into and is a complete scam. They should not be operating. I was also provided a “care team” that never acknowledges my messages through the online login. And there’s no way for me to remove my bank card from the login.

Charges were applied to my credit card before I ever received the invoice po to review. I was also told there would be no walkthroughs and that these were all inclusive resorts, I checked the terms and there are walkthroughs with significant penalties for not complying and there were only some were all inclusive with the rest being time shares which I was also told that this was not anything close to a time share.

I received a call from 440-214-1876. They left a voice mail: First a lady says “Hi my name is Jen. I’m calling from our office for [they pronounced my name wrong] so you will need a reference file number 672065. Again 672065.” And then a guy’s voice says, “There has been a complaint filed in our office documents regarding your file are being prepared to be sent out and you will need to be available to sign for the delivery. Issue an agent will dispatch confirmation. If they are unable to reach you at home, they will attempt you to reach you at your verified place of employment. In order to stop further action from being taken, you will need to contact to get you an agent immediately at 888-683-0892. This call has been logged and recorded as proof of effort made to notify you.” I realized this was a scam and blocked the number.

This scam company sent me a bunch of items. I did not order and then put an invoice in the box for the $369.90. I looked the name of the company up online and there’s hundreds of complaints about them doing this. The difference is they didn’t call me on the phone first or get any permission from me. I never spoke to anybody. They just mailed it to my home via UPS, but if you look online, they have a horrible record of harassing people and threatening to turn them over to collection when they don’t pay for these unordered items . I immediately took the box off unordered items back to UPS and did return to sender and sent them back. The saving grace is they don’t have the correct name on the box . So if you get any boxes, check your return address and if you don’t recognize it, look it up first and do your research

Debt Collections

I am filing a complaint regarding a company identifying themselves as “Meyers and Meyers Legal Group,” who I believe may be engaging in deceptive and potentially fraudulent debt collection practices. Since March 2026, I have been receiving repeated phone calls from this company from the phone number +1 (220) 201-1354. In their voicemails and conversations, they request that I return their calls at 855-220-4477. The callers have repeatedly claimed that I owe a debt and threatened legal action if I did not immediately resolve the matter. I initially ignored the calls because they appeared suspicious. However, the company recently began contacting my husband as well, which prompted me to return the call on May 15, 2026. When I called, I was met by an extremely rude and aggressive individual. He stated that if I did not pay $2,242 immediately, or agree to settle the alleged debt for approximately $600, they would send someone to my home to serve me with legal papers and sue me. During the call, they referenced previous addresses associated with me and the last four digits of my Social Security number, which made the situation especially concerning. However, they were unable to provide accurate information regarding the origin or date of the alleged debt. After the call, I contacted my attorney, who advised that the situation strongly resembles a scam. I also independently contacted the original creditor associated with the debt. They provided me with the legitimate collection agency information where the debt had been transferred. When I spoke with that agency, they informed me that: - The debt had been sold in March 2026 - The balance should only be approximately $442 - The debt was sold to a completely different company than the one contacting me - The phone numbers they provided do not match the numbers that have been calling me and leaving voicemails I attempted multiple times to contact “Meyers and Meyers Legal Group” again after being hung up on repeatedly. I eventually left two voicemails providing my attorney’s contact information and advising them to direct any future communication to him. When I later reached the same representative again, he stated that I had been placed on a “do not call” list and that my attorney would need to contact them moving forward. Additionally: - The collection amount they demanded does not match the legitimate debt amount - The legitimate debt purchaser does not match the company contacting me - I located another complaint online describing nearly identical conduct from this company - I contacted my local courts, and there is currently no litigation or pending lawsuit filed against me Based on the inconsistencies, threats, aggressive behavior, and conflicting debt information, I strongly suspect this may be a scam or an illegitimate debt collection operation using intimidation tactics to pressure consumers into making payments. I am requesting that this matter be investigated and that appropriate action be taken to protect consumers from potentially fraudulent or abusive collection practices.

Tech Support - Hewlett Printer

I contacted EPSON via their website because my EPSON WF-6660 printer (~8 years old) would not connect to my house WiFi router. Shortly after I received a call from a man (with a heavy Indian accent) that said he was an EPSON representative who asked me several questions, and after a few minutes he requested to have access to my MAC. I insisted in getting a confirmation or a sort of ID that confirmed he worked for EPSON, to which he responded affirmatively and asked me to go to www.oty.com and log in here. I did it reluctantly. Once they accessed my MAC, they said they were going to install a new driver, clean up my computer and then re-establish the WiFi connection for $104.00. I approved it. After this, they told me my MAC had been targeted by at least 23 people that could install malware in my PC and all other devices that are connected to house Internet router and that I should consider getting protection with a Firewall software that they could provide and install. I felt very "unsafe" and was quite scared after I heard this and accepted them to install this software for a price of $498.00 I scanned a check for this amount and they received it (Uploaded) After the fact I did some research and found out that Hewlett Printer LLC is a third-party, independent technical support provider for printers and computers, not affiliated with EPSON. They offer setup and troubleshooting services. I feel I have been fooled by these people that have falsely acted as EPSON representatives.

Online Purchase - Online Retail Scam

I bought sandals on the https://sharons-sandals.com website for $59.95 x 2. Received a discount for buying 2 and total charge was $107.92. They were described as high quality orthopedic leather soft sandals with offered return policy: " To start a return, contact us at [email protected] with your order number. You have 30 days from the day your order is delivered to request a return. To be eligible, items must be unused, in their original condition, and sent back with all original packaging included. Once we’ve received and inspected your return, we’ll issue a refund to your original payment method within 7 business days." Instead I received very low quality, flimsy, loose sandals I cannot even wear, so I started the process of returning them the next day. Customer service has no phone number but I started the return request process through email. The email is to 'Sharon Whitmore' but someone named Emily answered my ask on how to start the process to return the 2 pairs of sandals. Emily responded with: 'The simplest path forward — and the one most of our customers prefer — is a size replacement with a small contribution toward shipping. Here's why it works so well: instead of arranging an international return (which means packing the sandals back up, paying for return shipping, waiting several weeks for the parcel to travel back, and going through inspection before any refund is issued), we send you the correct size right away. We just ask a $12 contribution toward shipping the new pair, and the replacement goes out within 1–3 business days. A few reasons most customers prefer this option: no return hassle (you may keep the original pair to gift, donate, or keep as a spare), it saves you money (international return shipping typically costs $20–50, vs. just $12 here), and it's a fast turnaround — the right size arrives in days, not weeks.' I responded that I was not interested in a different size and the quality was poor. I just wanted to be refunded. There was not response for a week. Today I was asked to send pics and they will review and decide how to proceed. I sent, realize now that I should probably NOT have done that. I paid with my credit card and have notified the credit card company that I want to dispute the charge. The address the package came from is: Shipping Dept. 1055 Sesame St. Franklin Park IL 60131...which I have googled and says: '90,000 sq ft industrial warehouse building often used as a logistics hub and return address for online, frequently overseas, retailers. It is frequently reported in connection with "brushing" scams and unsolicited packages.' UGH!!!

Counterfeit Product - The Hills Nashville

Business 1: The Hills Nashville Website: thehillsnashville.com Registered Address: 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901 Actual Location: Unknown — ships from China Business 2: Jennifer & John Charleston Website: jenniferjohn-charleston.com Registered Address: 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901 Actual Operator: "Loop" — China-based Contact on File: [email protected] / +1 302 760 9909 NATURE OF COMPLAINT I am filing this complaint against two online retailers — The Hills Nashville and Jennifer & John Charleston — that I independently discovered through cross-referencing and that share identical deceptive business practices. Both websites present themselves as American boutiques while actually operating as China-based dropshipping operations. I discovered the connection between these two businesses while researching one after becoming suspicious of the other. Both share the same registered agent address in Dover, Delaware, use the same high-pressure marketing tactics, and employ the same fraudulent return policy structure. SPECIFIC DECEPTIVE PRACTICES 1. False Domestic Business Identity • The Hills Nashville markets itself as a 'mother and daughter boutique' in Nashville, Tennessee, creating the impression of a local American small business. • Jennifer & John Charleston uses the 'Charleston' name to imply a US-based operation. • Both are registered in Delaware using a registered agent address (8 The Green, Suite A) — not a real storefront. Neither has a verifiable physical retail location in the United States. • Jennifer & John Charleston's invoices identify the actual operator as 'Loop,' a China-based entity, which is not disclosed anywhere on the website before purchase. 2. False Advertising of Free Returns • Both websites explicitly advertise free returns in their marketing and store policies. • In practice, customers who attempt returns are informed that: (a) returns must be shipped to an address in China, not the Delaware address; (b) return shipping costs are the customer's responsibility and typically exceed the value of the items; and (c) refunds are limited to approximately 10% of the purchase price. • This policy is concealed before purchase and only revealed after a return is initiated, which constitutes deceptive advertising under FTC guidelines. 3. Products Not as Described • Multiple verified customer reviews on Trustpilot and in BBB Scam Tracker reports confirm that items received do not match website photos or product descriptions. • Materials are frequently described as cheap or synthetic when listed as higher quality. Sizing is inconsistent with standard US sizing. • Shipping times are significantly longer than advertised, consistent with overseas fulfillment. 4. Fabricated Review Profiles • Both websites have artificially inflated ratings on Trustpilot generated through bulk fake reviews, drowning out legitimate negative feedback. • This practice manipulates consumer trust metrics and constitutes fraudulent misrepresentation. 5. High-Pressure Tactics • Both sites employ 'almost sold out' warnings and deep discounts (up to 70-80%) that appear permanent, designed to pressure quick purchases before customers can research the company. REQUESTED ACTION • Open formal complaint files for both businesses under their respective domains. • Investigate the shared business registration address and the 'Loop' operator connection for Jennifer & John Charleston. • Issue a public alert warning consumers about this pattern of boutique-branded, China-sourced dropshipping operations using US city names to imply local identity. • Coordinate with the FTC regarding the deceptive free-returns advertising, which is a clear violation of consumer protection regulations.

Money laundering Scam Amazon called and said someone had set up a business account on Amazon using my profile. They said 3 bank accounts in separate banks had been set up in my name and money was deposited and then items were purchased and shipped around the country. They told me the company name and they gave me their addresses in Florida and New York. He said this was a money laundering scam. He created a case and gave me the case number, then he transferred me to the FTC. The person at the FTC gave me his name, phone number, and employee ID. He asked for the case number. Then he asked me to call him back. This I did. He asked me some questions (I don’t remember them). Then he transferred me to the Chief Investigator. This man gave me his name but did not want to say over the phone what his phone number was in case my phone was hacked. He told me to call him at the number I had been given. He said this was a money laundering and drug traffic operation. I asked how he knew this and he said there were 7 bank accounts and more than $200,000,00 has been transferred. Then he said I must be very careful and thorough in my answer to his questions because I am the prime suspect. He said if I leave out information or hide something it will be used against me. He kept emphasizing I must be honest and not leave out anything. He kept saying I need to be aware that I am the prime subject and did I understand this. I became angry and said I understood and he had told me this several times now lets move on. He got angry with me and said if I wanted to go to a courthouse and prove I was innocent I could do that. I told him that he did not understand the law. He has to prove I am guilty, I do not have to prove I am innocent. This argument continued and then he began to ask questions. He wanted to know who I thought could have done this. I told him about some untrustworthy workers and about a used computer I bought from eBay. He continued to stress this point and the danger of not being completely truthful. [Note: I had been talking with someone by phone about selling my home as is for cash. We had talked regularly and had a price range. I recently sent this man a list of homes that had sold recently in my area and that my home had appreciated in market value in the last month. To my great surprise this person did not call me about this, in fact it was about 4 days later this scam was tried on me. The purpose was to find out how much money I have and to steal it I believe. He still has not contacted me. One of the things he had said was that they have their own title company. I suspect this may have been a scam as well. He had asked me several time why I was selling and financial problems were one of the reasons. I did not name him as a suspect to the fake FTC officer.] After reviewing who I thought it was several times I kept going back to the computer but he was not interest in that even when I offered to ship it to him. He asked about my credit cards and how much I owed on them. He did not ask for credit card number. He asked about my bank accounts and how much money was in them. He also pried into any IRA or retirement accounts. He did not seem to know what a TSP account was. Any government employee would have known that. He than explained that they were not going to suspend my Amazon account or any credit cards because they did not want to alert the criminals. He said my social security number would be canceled and I would be issued a new one. He said my bank accounts would be permanently frozen. He said I would have 42 hours and later he said 48 hours to get the money out of the accounts. If I did not withdraw the money I would permanently lose the money. We made an appointment for 10:00 the next morning because the banks were closed at the moment. He would call me or I could call him. He would set up a 3 way call with the treasury department and I would have to verify my bank accounts. After this I would go to the bank and get the money. He then stated I should not tell any 3rd party about this conversation. He said this is an official government issue and I cannot not talk about or I would risk charges. He also said I cannot tell any relatives. He said I must be very careful because they did not know who did this and it could be a relative or an acquaintance. Then we ended the call. The FTC people had an accent. I believe it was Jamaican. The home buyer also had an accent but not the same one. I report the incident to the FTC immediately. Then to my bank and the BBB.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - World Platinum Travel/Vacation Services International

In June 2022 while vacationing in Aruba through our Bluegreen timeshare, we were approached on the street with “scratch-off” cards stating there would be a possible $1000 cash winner. They acted excited and jumped up and down stating we won the money and had to claim at the office. When we got there they had several couples that were there for the same reason. While there at this place called “World Platinum Travel” they had a couple of slick talking sales people asking if we were wanting to get out of or sell our timeshare with Bluegreen. We said we would like to but that we couldn’t afford to pay a lawyer or timeshare exit company, and we did not like the fact that the maintenance fees are going up 15% annually. They told us that they specialize in this and that they had a much better option, and that if we purchased into their “travel club” (did not say timeshare or contract) we would no longer have any maintenance fees, but just an annual fee of $149/year. Since 2022 we have paid the annual fee but did not use as they have never sold or gotten rid of our Timeshare of 20,000 points with Bluegreen through a company called “Vacation Services International”. I check this site often and to date our timeshare has not even gotten a hit. We were simply scammed and I’ve seen a hundred different reviews stating the same thing from Aruba and the exact same scam. I tried to cancel and get my $5600 back as I wrote a hand written letter to World Platinum travel within the next 24 hours, but they asked me to come back in, and stupid us, we let them talk us into keeping it, and sat us down with a “lawyer” who said he handles these cases all the time and sells timeshares pretty quickly, so we stayed. Totally scammed and out of $5600 cash from our bank account, and now they called to tell me that if I don’t pay the $249 annual fee that we are in breach of contract. My wife and I do not remember signing any timeshare contract as we were already in a timeshare with Bluegreen. I’m sure you cannot do anything about this, but I want to report this scam that is and probably thousands of other couples were scammed by. Thank you!

Counterfeit Product - Noblu vision

Came across a scroll on facebook advertising Blue glasses and it was a sumptuous thought of thinking it looking legit and comments were convincing enough to see if its worth the hassle. So i gave myself and my nephew one because we were curious about it. By the time they arrived and try it it was so cheap and poor quality didn't even bother to test it because you know that i can break easily enough without using force and no vision changes to our eyes. So we look it up and see that people were posting their website a scam and to watch out. So I try to call them but nothing and they took the money. I have the proof of the package label with the info on it

Despite being registered on the National Do Not Call Registry since April 2023, I have been receiving daily calls for over 30 days. These calls utilize pre-recorded messages from a "Samantha Fisher" regarding a loan approval for an application I never submitted. The calls are coming from a different number every day to bypass blocks. I have attempted to report these calls as spam for the last month to no avail. When calling the numbers provided in the messages 866-386-5519, agents confirm the company name "Stonegate."

The site is very new as well, despite claiming to be a family run business of 10 years.

Online Purchase - Jocelyn Lab Pup Homes

We were online looking for a puppy, we found a silver lab 10 weeks old named Ava on a site called Jocelynlabpuphomes.com, she had contacted me back and we sent the funds for the purchase of the puppy in the amount of $800. With this amount we were to have our puppy flown and delivered to our doorstep. Then she said the delivery people would contact us. I received an email stating they had received our puppy but her crate had to be upgraded and that cost us $980. After that it was suddenly said that we had to purchase insurance for her travels so we purchased that at $890. All of these funds were to be reimbursed except the $800 for the puppy and $30 for rental of the crate. The shipping company had always signed management but when they said they needed more that was when they messed up and signed it with J WATSON PETS INTERNATIONAL SHIPPERS PET CUSTOMER TRANSPORTATION DEPARTMENT. MINNEAPOLIS ,MINNESOTA, USA BRANCH They are the shipping department. They were all very convincing and have taken a total of $2670 from us and we would like to make others aware.

Case File-USA/AG435258 Invoice No:-0383764 Payment Due:-$1520.00 Last date of Lawsuit:-May 11th 2026 Hi, This letter is to notify you that we have received a Summons of Garnishment on your wages. This means that someone you owe money to has been awarded a judgment by the court for payment of the debt. The court has ordered us your employer to deduct 25% percent of your disposable earnings and make payment to the court on your behalf. The following applies to you: Before you are arrested If you pay in full, or make a part-payment before you are arrested, the warrant will be recalled and amended. However, it will be immediately re-issued if the debt is not paid in full. After you are arrested Once the warrant has been served, your only options are to serve the time in prison or pay the debt (plus costs) in full at the courthouse. If you want to stop the garnishment deductions from your paycheck, you must obtain a release or pay the entire amount you owe, which you can pay with the help of One Vanilla Prepaid Card and American Express Prepaid Card in order to close this account. What is garnishment? Garnishment is a legal process that allows a creditor to remove funds from your [bank]/ [credit union] account to satisfy a debt that you have not paid. In other words, if you owe money to a person or company, they can obtain a court order directing your bank to take money out of your account to pay off your debt. If this happens, you cannot use that money in your account. Why am I receiving this notice? On May 11th 2026 we received a garnishment order from a court to [freeze/remove] funds in your account. The amount of the garnishment order was for $1520.00 We are sending you this notice to let you know what we have done in response to the garnishment order. You can contact your creditor for a settlement amount. The Factual Basis for the complaints is as follows: You accepted to return the funds from this aforementioned pending loan. And as per the agreement the funds have yet to be returned and the collateral has proven to be null that is to say of no value. At present, ACS INC is seeking either of the following remedies:- All funds to be returned as per terms of initial contract. Dear debtor, as we were investigating your profile credit bureau & social security administration we need some right answers from your side. Also we would like to know when you can pay the requested $800.00 to settle this case. To resolve this issue contact us during the working hours Monday to Friday 09:00 AM to 05:00 PM EDT reply back to this email to get in touch with the representative. NOTE: THIS CASE IS UNDER INVESTIGATION WITH MAJOR CREDIT BUREAUS. Regards Alice Palmer.

Colonbroom is a scam company selling dangerous products that are essentially placebos. They falsely advertise their products (namely the "GLP1 booster") as helping you lose weight, when there is no scientific evidence of them doing that. They create difficult to cancel subscriptions and continue charging you $180 each time. After they charged me a third time, I emailed them within 10 minutes to not send their product. They sent it anyways and refused to refund me the $180 that they charged me on this round of theft. They created two subscriptions that I did not want. I asked them to cancel both of them in November 2025. They only cancelled one of the subscriptions and continued to charge me more money. I have access to instrumentation for elemental analysis. I discovered trace but measurable amounts of heavy metals in their placebo capsules. This is a dangerous product that should not be sold.

I'm not sure how the 2 connect, or how they got my information, but after I filed my dispute, I obviously cancel my cards and ordered new ones. My cards never came and today, a new charge from the same merchant was attempted that same amount. The notification on my phone said it was denied due to insufficient funds, but I open my bank app, there is no sign of a declined transaction on my statement anywhere. I am thoroughly sketched out and I hope there is going to be some investigating to this company or companies and hopefully my bank account can stop being harassed by them.

I was in a hurry to get the broken springs fixed. I had no idea what it would cost and was shocked when he said $900 per spring plus $400 labor. I told him i have kids and cant afford that, he then said 600 per spring but no warranty. I was in a position of disbelief but fraud never occurred to me. I paid half in cash and half on my card. I feel pretty foolish after the fact. He moved quickly and was very friendly. Im happy with the repair but not happy with the price. Dude straight ripped me off. He was smooth about it. Gave me a story about fighting in the Isreal military watching his best friend die. Had a kid and moved to the U.S. to raise him. Beware peeps he struck fast!

Anyway, I added an item to the cart and right away there is a countdown stating "these items are limited, check out within 5 minutes". That led me to confirm my suspicions even more and do a Google search to make sure if this website is actually legitimate and low and behold I see multiple posts on forums and on BBB scam tracker stating they were scammed from similar websites claiming to be Schylling. I've attached a screenshot of the fake website which looks almost identical to the actual website, https://schylling.com/. The fake website also does not have any kind of validation that you're not a bot when first going to the website like the original does.

He mentioned my IP address being not protected and rootkit through remote support via sharing the computer. He directed me to a technician to clean it up and help me print via computer. It worked. But I was told the one-time fee was $199. Then they added tech support prices that were a bit pricey. When I looked them up here, I knew it was scammed, declined their calls, and notified my bank to close the card, and claim the transaction was fraudulent. So I can get my money back.

After my payment was declined on their website I told them it won’t go through.i asked for a picture of the dog due to suspicion and they sent me a photo shopped photo of said dog. This was a scam by this company and by the lady selling the dog. They sent receipts and everything. This website needs shut down.

I preceeded to purchase 180 day supply for $294.00 plus tax $21.32, a total $315.32. I paid with PayPal $315.32 and accidently paid twice! Called contact number on PayPal receipt and told them the mistake, they told me they could not cancel, because paper was already in progress. They said we will send you 6 more bottles of BioSlim, and refund $220.72 of the $315.32, leaving a balance $94.60, which I agreed to. I waited for 18 days for BioSlim to be delivered, on Dec 6 2025. I used BioSlim everyday, 2 times a day for 6 weeks and my weight was exactly same weight i started. I started the return well before 60 day deadline, But i haven't seen any additional refund back into my PayPal account! The only way you can communicate is @ [email protected] or [email protected], and you only can communicate when they e-mail you back, AND THAT NEVER HAPPENS!

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

I was directed to this site when searching for flights to CA from OH. I booked flights for my husband and myself for 18. June, 2026, return on 28. June, 2026. Everything went smoothly online. I printed everything. SmartCheapFares took my payment and the paperwork I printed states "a confirmation mail along with your e-tickets will reach you shortly." That email never came so I called them to inquire on our "successful booking." The first lady I spoke with told me that no luggage, not even a purse or carry-on was permitted on the flight. She wanted to add a fee to our booking. I said I would work with the airlines directly regarding luggage, as SmartCheapFares printed documentations states that "Additional baggage fees may apply as per the airline(s) policy." So, they put me on hold. When she came back on the line, she stated that they have confirmed our return flight on 28. June but she can not confirm our departure flight without an additional $500 each??? I was shocked and stated my confusion. They referred me to the website. All they would ever say to any of my questions or concerns was, "the website states that..." How can they charge and sell an itinerary and not an actual ticket??? I have the printed document regarding my (non)booking. Nowhere on my printed document does it state, "stand by." The tickets are non-refundable but how can they NOT give me my money back if I never had confirmed/actual tickets in the first place? So now, I'm worried, that the "confirmed" return flight isn't actually legit either. I called Southwest and they have no record of our booking! So, there's no flight home either! All I want is my original $413.26 back so that I can book REAL flights to CA in June. What about those people who don't realize these are not confirmed tickets and show up for a flight they do not have actual tix for?! It is NOT clear on the website that these are not actual tickets, rather the itinerary for a potential flight they may not even get on.

I immediately tried to cancel the order, but when I clicked on the website, it came up "ERROR: NOT AVAILABLE". When I contacted PayPal to dispute the matter. PayPal replied " they denied the dispute because their records show the transaction was processed correctly. So, I went to my bank "5th3rd' and when they checked out the transaction, they said there was nothing they could do because the transaction did not go through PayPal on my debit card, it came from my checking account. So, PayPal gave them my routing number and my account number. The bank said that is the only way that that could happen is if they had my account and routing number.

Letter in the mail to elderly person saying he won a no-entry required sweepstakes of $750,000. Recipient was told to contact his claims agent, "Paul Smurl," for method of payment. They said they gave him a check to "assist you with out-of-pocket expenses to enable your payment" (payment towards taxes and processing fees." It says the check can be deposited through ATM or inside a bank branch. The recipient is supposed to contact the agent immediately to start processing the remaining funds. (I read online that if you call, they will ask you to remit the funds from the check and then eventually, the check will be reported as fraud and taken back, so you've paid the money to the scammer and are out the money.) The letter also says to keep the award letter "strictly confidential until your cash prize winnings have been processed and remitted to your designated account." It further threatens that if you don't keep it confidential, you could face "double or false claims, identity theft and impersonation."

They operated previously under nywomenleaders.org also reported for unethical practices and as a "scam" organization. They have rebranded to Worldwide Women's Association continuing the same practices. They have been non responsive after I received an aggressive and unprofessional call telling me the initial money I spent did not cover what I signed up for. I needed to pay more to get the announcement that was part of my "lifetime membership fee" published. There was an additional publishing fee. When I said I was not told that and that I wanted to review it further, the rep raised their voice and me and said "you don't need to look into anything....I am telling you right now what you need to know." After trying to defuse the situation, she became more aggressive and started to raise her voice so much that I had to hang up on her.

I am concerned about the information I filled in form the form being shared with the fraudulent website.

The "law firm" CNA law group said that they were hired by US Bank to sue me for a delinquent account over $1000 that was sent to collections in 2020 and now with interest/court fees it over $3000. They also said that they contacted me by mail, email, and phone over 45 days ago which never happened and according to their own in house ftaud investigation this account was opened w/ my name, dob, and ss#. The 1st time i've ever heard anything about this was on 4/28/26 when the voicemail was left. I pulled my records and the only US Bank account i had was a deluquent account resolved in 2013 whose account number doesnt match the one referenced in the lawsuit. Was never served the papers, US Bank has no record of me, and doing my own search there is no CNA Law Group and the top search for them and their phone number used is another BBB scam report.

They were very prompt at charging my credit card and with delivery but they did not send a receipt or return information. I contacted them with an email and they said they would give me a 20percent return on the money paid and I could keep the merchandise and that would save on an International return. Their add on line said it was two sisters in a boutique In Texas.n then they said I could have 20 percent off of another item From them which I would not do. I still have the items and I know I will not get anywhere with them but I did call my Credit card bank and put In A grievance and they reminded me to check on these companies first before ordering. When I checked others have had a similar experience, The secrecy of everything like their address, their phone number, their return policy was a red flag for sure.

Phishing - Tom Johnson Underwriter

Voicemail: I saw that you were interested in a personal loan through one of the lending partners and it seems like they didn't provide you with a satisfactory approval. Looking at your file, I can get this done for you. Press one now or call me at 866-771-6698. Looking at your file, I can get this done for you, and funds can be available to you in a couple of days, uh, because of the relationships I've built with these lenders over the past 14 years. That makes it easier for me to get some leniency from their funding. For $38,000 loan at 5.89%, payment will be around $639 and I can get them to work with us with biweekly payments around $296. I can try to bump it up if you need more and also I can reduce the payment if you borrow less. Press one or call me at 866-771-6698. Again, Tom Johnson, just to summarize. I reviewed your file, and it looks like I may be able to get you approved with better terms. Even if you weren't satisfied with your previous offer with the other lender. I do recommend taking a look at this sooner rather than later. The rate can change daily. Uh, when you have you have a moment, please call me back at 877-961-1177 and I'll go ahead and walk you through everything.

Upon arrival at our hotel on 4/23 at 3pm, the hotel informed us that Vacation Offer canceled the reservation, with no further information.

In fact, the marketing people doing to presentation stated to reach out to our credit card company and report for fraud. We tried calling 10 times and requested call backs, I emailed and used the chat service several times with no response. After we made new accommodations, I received a new email that the company was trying to get ahold of me. HOW???

Credit Repair/Debt Relief

Hi, this is Sharon Schwab, senior underwriter. I'm calling to give you some feedback. This is Sharon Schwab here. I was looking at your request through one of our lending partners, and it looks like I can put together a better personal loan option for you. From what I'm seeing, your profile actually fits within a range where we can structure this more efficiently, both in terms of rate and overall repayment. This should be a straightforward process, and in many cases like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days, once everything is finalized. I've built strong relationships with both prime and subprime lenders over the years, and that allows me to work through approvals a bit differently and often secure more flexible terms when needed. We also don't need any collateral for this, so the funds can be used for anything you have planned. For example, if you're looking at something around $20,000 at approximately 5.9%, your payment could be around $384 per month. In some cases, we can also adjust the structure, whether that's increasing the amount, extending the term, or lowering the payment to better fit your budget. Based on what I'm seeing, there's a strong possibility we can improve what you were previously offered and get this approved without too much back and forth. I wouldn't let this sit too long since options like this can change depending on timing and availability. Call me back at 866-771-4468. Again, 866-771-4468, and I'll go over everything with you.

I have actively been searching for a customer service representative position so when I received a text, asking to set up an interview on teams, I responded. They provided a website link full back ground information on the position the duties and responsibilities, the benefit package and requirements for a remote work from home position. This was followed by an interview consisting of 19 questions specific to the role my qualifications and education. The process was too fluid. I found the company and the team members on their site were also verified both by photo and position held at hospitals around the country. I do not know of any company that interviews between 10:00 PM and 7:00 AM eastern time. I appreciate HR people but recognize they keep general business operating hours responses to my answers for immediate and specific leading me to believe I was chatting with AI. After answering the last question the response was a simple, sounds good. Then the identity specific questions like, what pay cycle would I prefer weekly biweekly monthly, a physical check or direct deposit, and the name of my bank, began. They requested more detail on my remote office needs and offered to send a check to prepay for any supplies, materials, etc. I would require to purchase.

It goes on to say “rest assured, your order is on its way.” I filed a complaint through the “Shop” app. On 04/06/2026, another charge was made to my bank account for $39.99 from Buyvallore.com. I disputed it with my bank - but didn’t connect the dots at the time. It wasn’t until I just read another person’s experience/reported scam for this site that I checked my bank account to see if my original purchase charge was from buyvallore.com - the merchant order I disputed, and it was! The total amount between the two charges was $59.99. This is the same amount reported by another individual.

Online Purchase

The site, which lists Malta as the country of location, offers a legitimate service. Their billing practices, however, are misleading at minimum. I paid $1 to have a photograph cleaned up. It was not clear that I signed up for a trial. Then after the trial period ended, I was automatically charged $35 for a subscription. I discovered the charges on my payment card statement after the second monthly charge occurred. The company does not clearly communicate their billing practices, because I was unaware that the trial would turn into a high-level subscription. In addition the charges are hidden because there was was no email communications at all. I received no email when the trial was activated, when the subscription started nor for the second monthly charge. I did not even have a login set up, so I could not have used the service. I activated the login just to cancel the subscription, for which I also did not received an email confirmation. I am attempting to request a refund. Their refund policy (attached) is written to their benefit: "All Payments are Non-Refundable", "If you do not cancel, the subscription will automatically convert to a paid plan, and the applicable subscription fee will be charged, which is non-refundable." I am attempting a refund based on "4. Billing Errors - unauthorized charge".

I put my information into rent.com to look for an apartment I looked at several of them on the site. One of them was for 1819 Miles avenue Northwest in Canton Ohio it said it was $590 a month that pets were allowed and I messaged the person saying that I was interested. So they wanted my phone number to text me so I gave it to them and they texted me, sent me the information about the apartment and I was thrilled because I could afford it and they took animals. Then he asked if I could meet him after 5:00 at the rental and I told him yes. Then he said he wanted a soft credit check and he sent me the link. Well I told him I didn't have a credit card so he sent me a different link for debit cards. When I went to the link it was called monthlyscore.com and it was to get your credit score he said to fill it out And pay the money, that I would be reimbursed when I viewed the apartment that way he could hold it for me. Which I thought was weird because how can I pay a credit score place and get the money back from him. So I told him I wanted to see the apartment first because if it wasn't suitable for me I didn't need to do the credit check. He kept persisting that was his policy that's how he had to do it. that was property regulations or something so I looked up the address of the apartment on rent.com it took me to the address and it was for rent but it was for 898 a month so I called the number listed for that apartment and it was a different number and I spoke to the office and I explained what was going on and they said oh no we would never text you except for through the rental site and they would not ask for money up front. We would ask you to meet us at the place for rent and if I decided to get the apartment they would have me come to their leasing office to do the paperwork so I told them about the scam. Then I looked up monthlyscore.com on better Business bureau and there were several reviews about people getting scammed by that company so I just wanted to add my experience I never gave them any money I told them I thought it was a scam and he said if I didn't want it he would rent it to somebody else and then that was the end of the conversation I never texted him back it was very disappointing and that's never happened to me before so I wanted to make sure that I did everything I could to add my review for that company thank you very much

When they called back, I answered because sometimes drivers can't find our home. However, the person who answered gave me a delivery address that was my work address over 10 years ago, and the building no longer exists. He told me the package was from Abbott in Wisconsin, but he refused to give me the name of his business or any other information. He did not have my email address to send me written confirmation. So I refused to give him my current address or any other information.

I got two different letters in the mail. The return addersses were from Scotia Insurance and alectra utilities. Both letters were from law firms and were written almost exactly the same with only the sender's names, titles, and contact info being different. The first part of the letter reads: "My name is Sofia Williams, I am a partner at Sofia Williams Divorce and Family Law Group, in Ontario Canada. Apologies if my letter came to you as a surprise, since there has been no previous correspondence between us. There is an unclaimed "permanent life insurance policy" held by our deceased client. The transaction pertains to an unclaimed "Life Insurance Policy" ("LIP") savings monetary deposit in the sum of Eleven Million, Five Hundred & Fifty Thousand, and Three Hundred United States Dollars ($11,550,300.00). The policy holder was one of our clients, Late Dr. Anthony xxxxxxxx, who was a Real Estate Investor and precious stone dealer. He was a Covid-19 Victim, who died about 2 years ago. Since His death, no one has come forward for the claim and all of our efforts to locate his relatives have proved unsuccessful. The insurance company code stipulates the "Insured Permanent Policies" not claimed must be turned over to the abandoned property division of the state after 2-3 years." To summarize the rest of the letter: They ask to partner with me "for the claim of this policy benefit" sicne my last name has a "striking similarity" and share a "nationality with the deceased". They ask permission to add my name to the policy. "All proceeds will be processed on your behalf." They are requesting 10% be shared among charity organizations, and the other 90% shared between he and us.

Went on about how he was leaving the office early. he kept saying that I needed to return his phone call as soon as possible because they're doing a lien and they're also going to do an asset sweep which is funny because I have no assets and I have nothing to put a lien on so I obviously know that this is a scam. He tried to be very personable and made it sound like he was an actual person or a person with an organization that had power because he said he was taking his daughter to soccer practice and that's why he has to leave the office 90 minutes early and that's why it's so important that I call him back as soon as I hear this message.

I was told to answer a follow-up call to process the order. I didn't answer any follow-up as I suspected this was a scam. Bakarika Corp submitted two billing codes for items that I didn't request. The claims were denied, and my share would have been over $4,000.

I was contacted by a supposed third party delivery service called Rd processing. Said that they have been trying to locate me since 2009 regarding advanced america debt. I knew the likelihood of that being true was slim to none so I asked for information regarding it, she said she received the packet closed and she was just the delivery service and needed to confirm my address. I declined and asked for the law firms number and name and was provided with Cohen Bailey and Associates 844-337-9203. They were extremely pushy and said that there was no way this wasn't my dad and I made no attempts to repay this money and this is going to have to go to court. I asked for identifying website, address, attorney names and numbers and none was provided and they got increasingly upset. They knew the call was being recorded. They hung up and now the number no longer exist. I do have call recordings.

I ordered 2 dresses for my 86 year old mom for her granddaughter's wedding and the fabric quality looked cheep and it was to tight on my mom's waist so I wanted to return the dresses. I sent all the information they asked for when submitting a return request: Order number, what items were being returned, and why. They then followed up asking for a further explanation of why I wanted to return them so I gave them more color on the return which is ridiculous. They then asked for me to send a picture and video of the items and why I wanted to return them to which I responded that I wanted to make the return. No response after that. So I tried to contact them again via email because there is no phone number or address anywhere. There are numerous email addresses for this so-called company. An additional two emails that somehow showed up are: [email protected] [email protected] I have the email chains if they are helpful.

Phishing - Civil Litigation

I received a phone call from someone claiming to be sending court documents to me regarding an alleged unpaid loan from July 27, 2017, supposedly with “VIP Lending” for $1,779.52. The caller identified herself as Cynthia. When I explained that I was unaware of any such loan and questioned why they had texted my husband instead of contacting me directly, she did not provide a clear answer. Immediately after the call, I checked all three of my credit reports for any record of this loan and found nothing suspicious or related to VIP Lending. I also reviewed my bank records and found no evidence of such a transaction. When I tried to call the number they provided (888-549-783), a man answered and became rude when I asked for his name and the company’s name, then abruptly hung up on me. I called back and, after some persistence, was told the company was called “Acala Law Group,” though the representative was very reluctant to share this information. He then transferred me back to Cynthia. I informed Cynthia again that my records showed no such loan and that I had never received any correspondence about this debt. She insisted I would have to wait to present my information in court, then hung up on me. This experience had multiple red flags: threats of legal action over the phone, refusal to provide basic company information, contacting a family member instead of me, and no records of the alleged debt. I want others to be aware of these warning signs and always verify claims before responding or sharing any information.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer - Delivery Issues

On February 27, 2026, I placed an order directly with AYN (ayntec.com) for an AYN Thor Max handheld gaming device, valued at approximately $500 USD, along with accessories and a Worry-Free Guarantee. The order was shipped and delivered on April 23, 2026, via GOFO Express. Upon opening the shipment, I found that the branded AYN product box had arrived, and all accessories were present, but the device itself was entirely absent from inside the box. The outer packaging appeared intact, consistent with the contents having been removed and the package resealed prior to final delivery. GOFO Express sent a delivery confirmation text asking whether the package had been delivered. I responded indicating it had not been delivered as expected. I then contacted both AYN and GOFO Express in writing, documenting the incident formally. This pattern — where the box and accessories arrive but the high-value device inside is missing — is consistent with reports from numerous other consumers who have used GOFO Express as their carrier. Reviews on Trustpilot, PissedConsumer, and the Better Business Bureau describe similar incidents of empty or tampered packages, particularly involving higher-value electronics. If your order is being shipped via GOFO Express, particularly from overseas retailers shipping high-value electronics, be aware of this risk. Photograph or video the unboxing process before opening, check the weight of the package against what is expected, and report any discrepancy immediately to both the seller and your payment provider.

The clothes included in their website were beautiful, looked high quality with quality fabrics. The site also included a 30 day guarantee. I ordered seven items using their sizing charts. I received all items from China, in a small bag about the size of a small watermelon. All seven items! Nothing fits, everything is too small. When i read the complete return policy, I discovered that I am not able to return items based on "ordering the wrong size" and if the quality of the items are "not what I expected." Not only are the items too small, the quality of the items and the quality of the fabrics are truly awful. I was scammed from this site and now unable to return anything.

First of all, I don't have authority to make any changes to our account without my husband's knowledge, then they tried to get my SS number, which I said no! If we have issues with out satellite or reception, we call DirecTV directly. I looked them up and it is NOT affiliated with DirecTV. First they tried to talk down to me, now, they continuously call and play loud music on my answering machine. (Fools!) Please make them stop! I don't answer anymore.

I spoke to a foreign man who told me to write out two checks for $200 each, and mail them to: QBB Solutions LLC, PO Box 210104, Nashville, TN 37221. I called McAfee to say I was still having problems with my computer even though I just paid them. McAfee said they had not received a payment from me, and never takes checks, and my security is good through 2028. My bank, Huntington, verfied the checks had been cashed by QBB. They gave me a copy of the checks. The back has a bunch of numbers then *** Bank *********. They said they would not investigate it further. So, then I called QBB and they said they had no record of a payment from me, as they are an auto warranty company. I contacted the local police and she said she sees this all the time, and there's nothing they can do to find the person who got the money, so, she wasn't filing a report. She told me to hire a private investigator. I got a new computer.

Urban Nest Realty is a tiktok page under (urbannest.realty1) that I came across during house hunting and thought it may have been legit. What the scammer didn't realize is ironically, I happened to be interested in a house a couple blocks over from my location now. So I drove by to see if it looked vacant out of curiosity and I seen two vehicles in the driveway I then continued to go along with their scheduling process which also forced me into an application to pay a fee. Before continuing I asked if the house was vacant via text through the number giving on their tiktok page. (765 208-9668) They said "Yes of course!" Mind you an hour has passed since I last drove past. And I let them know I seemed skeptical because I seen two vehicles there and they responded with "We believe in transparency and a lot of people are interested in the property so yeah they came up to look at it." Went and drove by again and those same two vehicles never moved and the porch light turned out because it got dark out. SCAMM! Here is the form I was given. (https://forms.gle/Nhf6nvbqu4Lxm9Xe9)

I received what appeared to be a "NOTICE TIME SENSITIVE" sealed letter pertaining to "Information For Vehicle Owner Only". It stated "Immediate Response To This Notice Requested" on the front. Upon opening the letter it listed a 2015 Chevrolet Malibu, and addressing myself personally. In big bold letters at the top say "TIME SENSITIVE", with a customer id number, notice date, and along with a response by date. Stating I hadn't been in contact with them regarding a vehicle service contract on said vehicle. For me to call 1-888-307-2075 with my current milage by April 30, 2026. If I fail to do so I am neglecting to activate my coverage, and will be at risk of being financially liable for any and all repairs after my factory warranty expires. It went on to say it may be the only attempt to contact me about activating my vehicle service contract. It goes on to say "Final Attempt To Notify". That this letter is to inform me: blah blah blah. States hours of operation. Coverage Explanation, phone number again, and covered parts included. With a picture of my supposed car, year/make/model, and it being "time sensitive" once again.

We were visiting Eureka Springs Arkansas for a few days on vacation from Ohio.This company has the same name as another company in the state of Arkansas. I made the mistake of booking online with the wrong company when I reached out to promised land zoo, and Safari park they basically told me to kick rocks and then it was my fault and they don’t do refunds. I don’t think that this is a fair approach to the situation considering I’m nowhere near their Safari park and I had no way to get there in time to use the actual tickets.. I don’t believe that asking for a refund in this situation is unacceptable, but I do believe that taking money for services that are not rendered, regardless of the situation is wrong.

Phishing - Home Warranty Scam

I received a letter in the mail stating that I needed to contact them to update my home warranty so that it wouldn't expire, and that I was required by the state to have a home warranty. When I asked him why I wasn't aware that I had a home warranty, he said that I must have misplaced my paperwork. He tried to get me to give him my credit card number to charge me approximately $350.00 so that my coverage wouldn't lapse. He said that just like you're required to have auto insurance in order to drive, the state requires you to have a home warranty. I told him that I have homeowners insurance, and he said that this coverage was different. I asked if I could have the phone number of the state agency requiring me to have this coverage, but he just told me to contact the state. I asked to speak to his supervisor, but he said that he was the acting supervisor on the floor. Again he tried to get my credit card number, and when I told him that I wasn't interested, he threatened to turn me in to the state. I told him to go ahead and I hung up on him. I believe that they're intentionally targeting female home owners because they think that we're uninformed. Don't fall for their tricks ??

I saw an ad on Fb for Irish sweaters and hoodies. I went to check out the page/website for everything that said it was American made and ships from USA. It all clearly stated that everything ships fast from Boston. The product and comments/reviews looked legit. I have waited for overseas shipping and troublesome orders before, so I thought this place checked out. Their scam is still up and running, so naturally, I thought it was reputable. I was looking for something for St Patrick's Day, and since it was March 1st, I figured that I would receive this order in plenty of time since they state in their ad that they ship orders really fast from Boston! I copied all of my contact from the order and printed it out. I proceeded with my order and by March 10th, I emailed customer service because I heard nothing from them. Luckily I copied my order so that I had the customer order number. I copied all emails and responses. They emailed the order information and tracking number. I continued to track the item which traveled across China. That is when I actually discovered that the product was coming from China, and that they misrepresented themselves. I continued to track the order which didn't change much, but I didn't think much about it since as I stated, I had ordered from a company that ships from China before, different company, and I received my items, but after a long delivery period. So, this wait didn't alarm me at first. I reached out again on April 8th explaining that I had been tracking the item and didn't think it was going to be shipped from this country "China". I stated that this was over 30 days and would like an update on if the item was in the USA. I stated that I felt at this point I should be requesting a full refund and cancelling the order. They responded with an apology and said they'd try to correct the issue, but that the packed was sent out and that I should wait for the item to arrive! April 9 I emailed them and asked for the typical amount of days that a customer waits to request a refund. of course, again, they were apologetic and couldn't give me a specific time, but that they'd reach out to shipping company to "urge them to update the status". Finally the tracking stated that my order arrived in New York on the 15th of April and was out for delivery. I tracked it this morning, April 18th, because I thought it would arrive at least by the 17th of April. It states that it was delivered either in or near my mailbox. That is totally false. I greet my mailperson every day. It definitely was NOT delivered, nor was it delivered today the 18th. I'm going to reach out to my bank to see if I can recoup any of my money. I'm glad that I only ordered one item, being slightly skeptical when ordering, because they also offer a "DEAL" if you order additional items at once. This company, I also believe uses other similar company names, that are close to legitimate and honest companies. This fake company needs to be shut down. Their website is still advertising shipping from Boston, and probably fake reviewers leaving remarks on the FB page. My photo was copied from their FB page, and my tracking info copied straight from a long list of their tracking information. I haven't received a response to my current email to support, yet.

I saw many different items such as in home furniture, hot tubs, and patio furniture. I did think it was odd when I went to pay for the items, I had picked 3 things that were on sale, and it said I could only pick one thing per purchase. I made the one purchase and then tried to make a second one and there was a pop up that said the payment didn't go through. I didn't try again thinking it was just a glitch and I was going to go back later to find a whiskey barrel table I had seen. When I typed in Wayfair's name to search for it, it wasn't on the site.

Voicemail: Hi, this is Blake Carter. Just wanted to reach out real quick about your personal loan inquiry. This is Blake Carter. I reviewed your file earlier today through one of our lending partners. It looks like you were looking for a personal loan, and we had sent you a preapproval in the mail. The guidelines are more lenient this month, so we may be able to get a better rate in term for you. I just need to verify a few details. And then I can go over the rate term and monthly payment, would you? If we go with $25,000 loan at 5.99%, your payment would be around $485 per month. Very comfortable payment, especially since the funds are not tied to any collateral and can be used for anything you need. Call me back at 877-372-0925.

When it came it didn't smell right and I talked to my doctor and then began reading these terrible reports that some people became very sick from it and they would continue to charge your account and keep sending you this tea without any authorization. A shipment came yesterday that I think was $69 they were trying to charge my PayPal account. I have reported it to PayPal as well. I've reported it before. They are not responding to emails. They won't stop. I haven't used any of it and I'll be glad to send it all back to them if they tell me where to send it but just charge a person almost $70 for two little bags of tea. It was my foolish mistake because I hadn't been feeling well and I was hoping it might help. They're advertisement on Facebook is quite attractive.

I was sent a text message saying my profile stood out to their team and that they’d like to offer me a remote part time role. They claimed that the job only required work for 60-90 minutes a day, 4 days a week. They said the pay would be $250-$500 a day with $1000 base pay every 4 working days. They claimed benefits were free training and 15-20 paid vacation days. They said they were hiring 20 people and the only requirement was that I needed to be at least 20 years old. I reached out to try and get more information because I knew they were scammers and when i asked for a website link so i could learn more about the company, the reply was “simply google search Atera Inc.” The fake job description was to execute micro-tasks focused on system calibration and interaction analysis. They then asked if i had a telegram account to message back and forth and when i said i did and asked what email or number i should search to message them, they sent me a link and asked me to click the link(https://t.me/stephieberry19) to chat with a reception manager.

Tax Collection

Good morning. It's Wednesday. This is Jessica Lee calling from the active Relief Center at 877-875-2133. The reason for my call is that your account still shows unresolved back income taxes that may mean remaining balance or additional penalties and interest that have been added over time. It's very common for people to feel confused by the letters they receive and not be sure what to do next. Right now our office is reviewing situations like yours under a new Option called the zero tax program. Depending on how your file qualifies it may be possible to reduce what you owe limit further penalties or even eliminate a qualifying balance altogether. My role is to walk you through those possibilities and help you understand what's realistic for you. To find out what you might qualify for. You can speak with a Tax Advisor by calling 877-875-2133. If your taxes are already resolved, or you don't want to receive calls like this, you can call that same number and press 9 to be removed from our list.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Club Esprit travel - Timeshare

We received a postcard in the mail for a free cruise. The catch was to sit through a presentation of 120 minutes. The card had a location, but after calling was told it would be virtual. The first time it was scheduled, we never got a link. It had to be scheduled a second time. My husband and I sat through it on March 27th and it was a great program but we already are Platinum Status with a timeshare, so it just wasn't right for us. Anthony, the presenter, was amazing at explaining everything and how we might still be able to use the product. We ended up declining the purchase, but he told us he marked us as complete to receive the offer. He said it could take 7-10 business days to receive the email with redemption instructions. We waited and waited. After not getting anything, I called and called. It was always something. This is not the right department, or the person you need to speak with is in a meeting, or just having to leave a voicemail. I was told I would get a call yesterday at 6pm. Did I hold my breath? No! Did I get a call? No! I'm just beyond frustrated with this company!!!!! Beware if you get this in the mail and don't end up buying anything.

Placed the order March 12 and it was confirmed by shop. Never received any communication after that. I emailed Euro on March 27 that I have received no shipping communication with a response from them about global shipping issues. On March 30th I asked them to cancel the order but they said they couldn't because the goods were already with the carrier so they can't refund or cancel the order. I asked for a tracking number which they said they were working to get. I again asked why I couldn't cancel the order number if you don't know who the carrier or tracking number are. All they said was sorry for your frustration but they can't cancel the order, this was all as of April 1st. Today, I emailed them that I have not received any goods nor shipping information and that the order needs to be canceled, my money refunded immediately or I will be forced to take legal action..... I am not at all hopeful!

I was approached about an opportunity to make extra money they said I needed to accept 40 orders daily and i would make commission off these orders. I did it for one day and it said that i had made $90 when i went to withdrawal the money it said i needed to make at least $100. The next day i went to do the orders and it says i am negative $61 and that I need to deposit my own money to continue rating orders. I advised the company that i do not have money hence why i wanted to make money. During the set up process they had me log into cash app and send screen shots to them which they insisted was for me to withdrawal money which i never got to do. I want to warn people not to fall for this scam. I refused to add money but i know others probably have not.
