The product online looked great. Full refund promised if within 30 days. Product came and was plastic clothing--extremely poor quality and didn't even list the material content or washing instructions. I don't know what country it's from but online claimed to be a Boston shop. To refund, I was told would require $50 shipping from me for international costs and that it would not come for a long time.

Online Purchase - Medium-Joshua John

Joshua John is a medium that was recommended to me. When I looked him up, I saw that he was doing a deal around Christmas time. I decided to get my grandma a ticket to meet with him on Zoom one on one because that’s how he connects with people. The first time she got on the zoom with him she waited 45 minutes and then got a message saying that he needed to reschedule and then the next time he just never came on zoom I have emailed and messaged him on Instagram and tried calling the number and nothing.

Counterfeit Product

Bought 2 bras that didn’t match the product online. The sizing was all wrong according to their online sizing chart. Neither bra fit even though I order 2 different sizes. I follow all the proper procedures for returning and they said they were not accepting returns at the moment due to intimate apparel and their warehouse was undergoing maintenance. We emailed for a month as I bartered for a 50% refund, when they offered 20%. We finally settled on 30%. It also took a long time for shipment. The quality is flimsy and not what was expected.

Online Purchase

I am sharing my experience with Erth Labs because I believe other customers should be aware of what happened to me. I initially made what I understood to be a one-time purchase through Shopify. I did not knowingly sign up for a subscription, and I never provided Erth Labs with my credit card details. However, Erth Labs subsequently used my Apple Pay payment method to charge me again for what appears to have been a subscription. I also did not create an account with Erth Labs. When I attempted to access their customer portal to investigate and manage the issue, I was unable to log in because I received an API error. After the first unauthorised charge, I contacted Erth Labs to raise the issue. Rather than resolving the matter, I was told that the order had already been shipped and that there was nothing they could do. Despite me contacting them about the unauthorised transaction, I was subsequently charged a second time. This has been a very disappointing experience. My concern is not simply about the money, but about the fact that a payment method appears to have been reused for additional charges without my consent, followed by an unsuccessful attempt to resolve the issue directly with the company. I would strongly recommend that customers carefully check their orders and payment settings when purchasing from Erth Labs, particularly if they intend to make a one-time purchase. I am posting this review to document my experience and to encourage Erth Labs to provide a clear explanation of how the subscription was allegedly created, how my Apple Pay payment method was reused, and why the issue was not resolved after I contacted them following the first unauthorised charge.

Ordered two dresses - thought since they were advertised as "Nordstrom" they would be quality. The dresses were made of shoddy materials and looked cheap, I requested to return them. Got a reply from Emily (Pristime) support@pristimezendeskcomsaying that I needed to send pictures of all items received, a clear picture of the tracking number and a clear picture of the SKU number. I sent them. They then said that the cost of sending it back would be approximately $20 , but maybe I would like to donate the dresses and they would offer me 15% discount coupon, I replied I wanted a full refund and to send me an address to return the order. They replied with an offer of 10% refund and I could dispose of the product as I saw fit. I replied that I wanted a full refund and if I didn't get it, I would report the company to the Better Business Bureau and Department of Justice. They responded with an offer of 15% refund and 15% discount coupon. It seems obvious that they don't plan to refund at 100% or give me an address to return the merchandise.

Online Purchase - J&S Mobile Detailing

I found J&S Car Detailing through Groupon and went to the linked website for direct service. I called the company, scheduled a service, paid upfront, and received an invoice. The company no-called/no-showed twice with another time of cancelling the appt hours before. Each time, I had to reach out on the status of the service. After the third time of the service not being performed, I requested a refund. The owner acknowledged that a refund was owed and promised to send it "within 48 business hours", but the refund never arrived. When I continued to respectfully follow up after the first & second payment timeline passed, the conversation became hostile and the "owner" began cursing at me for pressing him. He then proceeded to ghost me & block my number with the refund still outstanding. I originally paid through Paypal, therefore I filed a refund through them in which they were able to recover the money. I understand that scheduling mistakes can happen, but repeatedly missing appointments, failing to provide the paid-for service, not issuing a promised refund, and responding unprofessionally to a customer are unacceptable. Based on my experience, I would like to report this company and strongly caution others about paying upfront and outright using this service.

I called them and they were very rude and hostile and said “if you don’t pay we’ll see you in court soon!” They told me I had a debt for VIP Loans from 2015. When I asked for proof of debt, they stated they would not mail anything because they already had. They said if I paid I’d receive a letter of payment but it wouldn’t state how much was owed or how much was paid, just “paid in full.” When I questioned this they had no answers. They gave me a strict deadline of 48 hours to make the payment. When the payment wasn’t made, they again contacted my mother instead of me, being very rude and hostile.

I ordered a dress online through this company. They had a Facebook page and I went to their website. I did not receive the correct dress I ordered. I contacted them per email and explained the problem .They demanded a picture of the dress, which I provided. I also told them again the name of the dress I ordered, so they could compare what they sent and what I ordered. This whole thing started back in May,2026. They agreed to replace the incorrect dress with the correct dress. The replacement dress they sent was the exact same dress I received initially, so again incorrect dress. Again through emails I explained they sent the wrong dress as their replacement dress. Again I had to provide photos of both dresses, which I did. We communicated through a total of 28 emails, back and forth. After the replacement dress was again incorrect they assured me that the correct dress would be shipped to me. I never received another dress after my first replacement dress and when I contacted them to check the progress, they assured me they would check into it and send the dress. The latest contact I had from them was 08/09/2026 and in this email they said since they had already provided a replacement dress , they were finished and not going to send any more dresses and there would be no further compensation. So I have 2 identical dresses that are the dress I did not order and am out $49.00 for a product I have never received. Obviously the company is a fraud and doesn't care about fulfilling their obligation to deliver correct orders. There is no phone number or address listed on their website, all communication is via email.

Went on Facebook marketplace looking for a tractor, found one with what looked like a legitimate business. Spoke to the owner "Terry Workman" made plans to purchase a tractor two hours away. I asked specific details and the tractor seemed fine. Once I got there he insisted for liability reasons to load it himself, once I got home the trailer was full of oil. I called him, he refused a cash refund, but said I could swap it out for one that was more expensive and pay the difference. After I swapped the tractors and paid thousands more the second tractor had worse issues also. Mind you this is all me driving back and forth. Going back and forth with him. Then he was taking longer and longer to respond to my complaints. I had to get legal advice then I had to get paperwork drawn up also costing more and more money for something I couldn't use. The paperwork was threatening him to pay to fix the tractor or I was going to go forward with suing him. I had to bring the tractor to a local dealership for repairs that also cost thousands. After the main issues was fixed and I finally got the tractor back over three months of not being able to use what I purchased and needed, I continue to find more issues with the tractor. Additionally: None of the paperwork was properly filed nor notarized. He gave me a bill of sale at one price ($13,000) then on his paperwork he wrote a lower price ($1,000). When I started digging deeper into who this man was and his so called business I found he had many different businesses over time. He also is a preacher and is doing business out of the church parking lot. I read his reviews and took screenshots for proof this is not the first time he has scammed someone. He has done this many of time to many people. I even got someone else I know to message him on fb to buy the first tractor I brought back and he did message them with intention to sell it to them. This was the next day. He also went up on the price. This is against the law to sell something and not make the issues known especially when asked if any issues or history of issues have happened or present.

I purchased one through their website at https://revsic.com/password (which this no longer valid) and I have emailed customer service to return the product as it was too small for my dog. I sent the email on 7/1/2026 asking to return and then they sent this email: Hi Christina, Good morning, and thanks so much for reaching out — we're so sorry to hear the harness ended up being too small for your pup! Your return request is approved, so you're all set to ship it back to us whenever you're ready. Here's how the return process works on our end: You can ship the harness back to our return address: Revsic Returns, Room 1004, 456 E Beaver Ave, State College, PA 16801.

They gave me an untraceable tracking number and stated that my package was shipped according to their records and used China Post. They also told me to check my local post office. I did to no avail. I reached back out to them and on Aug.9, 2026 they offered me a 30% partial refund to “protect my rights as a seller” and because I should have received the shipment. I have since rejected their offer. This offer would have only made sense if I had an issue with the product, but they need to refund me the entire amount since I never received my order.

Identity Theft - Mark Klen

I was looking for properties on Hot Pads to rent. I sent a message to one in Thornton, CO and got a response via text and email form a person claiming to be Mark Klen. He sent me a link to https://rentalapplicationpro.com/application.php to fill out an application and asked if we would like to tour the property. I said yes and he sent me a code for a self guided tour. We went to see the property and proceeded to fill out the application. They application requested my ssn, drivers license number, and photos of my ID, bank statements, and check stubs. I thought this was standard info as I have provided all of this info in the past on rental applications. At the end it asked for payment of $20.00 for an application fee, seemed standard to me. Where the red flags started was after filling out the application I sent Mark a message to let him know that the application was submitted. He responded to confirm he received it. About 30 mins later he asked for our names again and our requested move in date. I though this was weird as he stated he had our application. So I started looking at the website where I filled out the application and it just seemed off, so I searched for the owner of the property in public records and saw the house is owned by a ligament rental company. So I immediately froze my credit and bank cards. I also googled the phone number he was texting me from and the first sites to pop up in the search results were porn site for a shemale escort out of Akron, OH all with MY NAME. YIKES!! All these sites have the same phone number and email that this so called landlord contacted me from.

I purchased 6 bottles of MemoCept, shiich were supposed to improve memory. They came with a money back guarantee if you weren’t satisfied. My wife took them for ten days, became unresponsive, taken to hospital by ambulance. She was released after 24 hours. The hospital couldn’t confirm the problem. Six hours later, terrible severe diarrhea. I contacted the company to ask for a refund, their representative continued to stall my refund. After ten days, I gave up,and realized I was the victim of a scam

I ordered 6 bottles of a supplement to help with memory loss back in June of 2026, billed as a one-time payment to my Credit One credit card. Then August 4 there was a 149.00 charge on that same card under a name I was not familiar with, Nutrahealth DE, which I only assume the DE stands for Delaware. I called the merchant phone number in my Credit One credit card app and was given an email and an account number that was supposed to take care of the request for a refund. That email turned out to be bogus, it bounced back to my yahoo junk mail inbox.

I bought into it because it was Bill Gates talking! Turned out to be fraudulent generated by AI. Bought into it hook, line and sinker. Been taking the capsule for two months with no obvious benefit.

I found Sharon and Ellen's shop on line and was impressed by the picture of these two long-time friends (probably not them), who met as single moms and started their business together. Because I liked their story as well as the sound of their store and the merchandise looked good, I ordered 4 items. I didn't even try the clothing on when it finally arrived. The material was so cheap looking and feeling, I immediately requested the refund they said they would give if I was unhappy with my purchases. That's when I was told their factory is overseas, rather than in the U.S., and that it would cost at least $25-$35 per item to ship it to their warehouse before I could receive a refund. They didn't recommend this because most items never arrived at the warehouse. I consider myself an educated buyer, but boy did I screw up on this purchase. I wish someone could track them down so other people don't experience what I did.

Counterfeit Product - Clara & Hayes

I ordered a dress from a site I saw on Pinterest called Clara & Hayes, in June, 2026. There were delays with shipping, but I received my order July 6, 2026. The dress was a completely different dress than what was pictured and described on the website. On Pinterest and on the Clara & Hayes website it said to shop with confidence as there was a 30 day money back guarantee. I immediately requested to return the dress and receive a refund. The following was their email response: Thank you for your message and for taking the time to provide the photos. I've reviewed the information you shared and understand your concerns regarding the differences between the item you received and the product presentation. I'm sorry to hear that the item did not meet your expectations. As a gesture of goodwill, I'd like to offer you a 15% refund while allowing you to keep the item. This refund would be issued directly to your original payment method, and there would be no need to arrange return shipping. Many customers find this to be the quickest and easiest resolution, as it avoids the time, expense, and uncertainty involved with an international return. If you'd like me to proceed with the 15% refund, simply let me know and I'll be happy to take care of it right away. Kind regards, Sophie Clara & Hayes Customer Care Team I responded that since it was not the dress I ordered, I wanted a full refund and didn’t want the dress. They responded again but this time with an offer for a 20% refund. We went back and forth, with them offering an additional 5% refund with each response. I even sent screenshots of the dress I ordered, the full product description, the offer of a 30 day money back guarantee, and picture of the dress I received. After they offered a 40% on July 19, 2026, I contacted Visa and explained the problem, including the emails and pictures, and the full amount was finally refunded.

I bought two Maggie's Handquilted Hippie Bus Weekender bags because I had seen a news story about this woman who had to give up her studio and the business she had because some company had bought the property. I was moved by the story and wanted to support her. When the bags arrived, it was clear they were cheap rip-offs and I realized I had let myself be taken in. The bags shown on the website were beautiful, clearly hand quilted, each one of a kind, with raised appliques. The bags I received had none of that. They were mass produced copies. I was so disappointed, for several reasons. I'm not even sure the news story I saw was real and not AI. I paid for the bags with a credit card but when i contacted the credit card company about stopping payment I was told to contact the merchant. That clearly was not an option. I haven't even gotten a response to the three emails I sent the merchant, so I don't believe I'll get any satisfaction or a refund. If I lost the 136.20 I sent them, then it's yet another lesson learned. But I hope enough of these complaints and stories may prevent others from getting scammed.

I generally avoid such things, and, if I am at all interested, I check to see whether the company is legitimate. I managed to avoid all of the Christmas glassware and beadwork decorations, but I really liked one of the chimes they offered for what seemed to be a good price. Foolishly, I ordered one of the chimes and then checked to see whether Fexorivae was legit. I felt like an idiot when I discovered that the site is a "widely flagged as a high-risk and suspicious online store." I immediately called my bank to see whether or not I could block the payment, but, since it was already "pending," I had to wait until the amount cleared before I could try to get my money back. Although Fexorivae confirmed my order and charged my credit card, they have not contacted me further. There is no sense that there is an item on its way to me. I contacted them by e-mail (they do not offer a phone number), but I have not heard back.

This Elevenforest needs to be shut down for fraudulent advertising and noncompliance with return policies. They purposefully try to extend the time frame on dealing with customer returns in order for most banks per reporting time frames.

?? Buyer Beware – My Experience I want to share my experience to hopefully prevent someone else from losing money. I placed an order through ketaminedeliveries.com and was later directed to tntexpressdeliveryservice.com for shipping. After paying my initial $150, I was told I needed to pay another $150 before my order could be processed. When I asked to cancel, I was told the order couldn’t be canceled and that “authorities would be informed,” which I found intimidating and concerning. After that, I was asked to pay for additional “refundable stamps” and other fees through what appeared to be a shipping company. Every time I paid or questioned the process, another unexpected payment was requested. At that point, I concluded that I was not going to receive what I had paid for and stopped sending money. Based on my personal experience, I strongly recommend that others use extreme caution before sending money to either of these websites. If you’ve had a similar experience, consider reporting it to your bank or payment provider and the appropriate consumer fraud authorities. I hope this helps someone avoid the same situation.

Phishing

I don’t know how this source ever even got ahold of my information to begin with. I had never heard of them until my personal bank cut off my card due to this fraudulent activity attempting numerous charges in my account in one day. I walked into my bank to get a new card and they stated they were fraud that had been flagged on my account by the bank. Two weeks or so later, they somehow got ahold of my credit card thru a completely different bank and that bank notified me of the same charges but different amounts from the same source. Mind you I do not know how they would’ve gotten my info at all nor did I consent to any of the purchases they were attempting to make!! Other than they were all stated by the banks to have been made over the phone. This all started with a HOOMA purchase back in or around May 2026. We are now in August and they keep trying to make these attempts monthly it seems now and I have to keep emailing this WildVio.com source (found thru their website given to me by the bank) after threatening to turn them in for fraud and demanding refunds of all their transactions on two separate accounts multiple times now. Then they send me an email back saying they’ve unsubscribed my “membership” and cancelled it. What membership??? I never signed up for anything with anyone, EVER!! I don’t do those things and this is totally random to me that it keeps happening. Someone out there has my info clearly; using my name and information. I don’t know who it is but I want to find out who it is; where they’re from; and to press charges at this point. I’m attaching a screenshot of my latest email to this source. This is how I’ve gotten any information to send you for investigating them as it’s all I’ve got. Mind you, this has been a thing happening over the past few months now on several occasions and I can only upload 1 image per your website. If I could I’d send you all 3-5 of them that I have of communication with wildvio.com requesting everything be refunded as it should being someone is using my info for fraudulent activity.

Earnstar is where you can play games, do offers, or surveys to earn a little money. You won’t earn a ton. But $5 or $10, maybe even $20. But usually if it’s anything over $5 they find away to cheat you out of that reward. Which they have done to me. And I have the proof that I completed the offer and did not get my reward and they won’t update my balance. The offer I did was subscribe to a plan with The Wall Street Journal to earn $10.50. Which I did. And uploading the receipt that was sent to my email. And a picture of the task and it says completed. But balance was never updated and I have reached out to support with no help from them. They just keep giving me the runaround. So I would definitely stay away from the site and this so called company that cheats people out of their rewards.

I ordered tank tops from the company called Maggie's Tanks on Facebook. The items I received didn't look anything like the pictures in their ad or on their website. Their website has incorrect information about sizing. The fabric is very poor quality and the garment is not hemmed. I ordered white and got off-white/yellow. The size was way smaller than the size ordered. I contacted the company through email so that I could return them and I was told that the cost of shipping would be more than they were worth. They would not tell me the cost to ship them back. They offered to replace them and I just had to pay for shipping. But I don't want replacements of that cheap stuff. They are now no longer responding to emails. I've seen multiple complaints online about them, all with the same issues.

I ordered shoes online for my daughter on a website called bondiemode.com. I thought it was a safe website to order from because it had the “LOCK” symbol in the cart section for payment, so I ordered the shoes. I looked for tracking information on the website and it said to download “shop” app to track order, so I did. The “shop” app kept saying it was waiting for order details from the seller. I contacted bondimode.com at [email protected] after 3 days. I got a reply from someone named Zoe who wanted me to accept a discount for price of my order because the shoes weren’t in stock. I emailed saying if they had black color pair I’d take those or wanted my money refund def to my payment method. She responded back in a couple days saying that pair wasn’t in stock either. By this time I was very upset and figured this was a scam for sure. I emailed saying I wanted my money refunded ASAP and that it was within the 14 day refund period stated on their website. I emailed back saying if I didn’t get my money refunded I was going to report their website /company to the better business bureau and that’s when she responded back saying that she wasn’t sure what I meant and I needed to pick an answer from 4 different scenarios for what I wanted ( like the order didn’t fit or I got the wrong order, etc..), for the customer service department to understand what I needed, so I picked the one where it stated that I never got my order and wanted my money refunded. I never heard from the customer service representative again and it was always the same person Zoe which made me think it was a scam too. After I contacted the customer service department the first time, I looked up reviews on bondimode.com and other people have had problems with them too like getting very thin and poor quality clothes from them and some said the clothes didn’t even look like the pictures on the website. Never order anything from bondimode.com or you’ll get scammed out of your money too. I lost $52. I’m attaching a picture of the info about the website and company, so you know what to look for, to know not to order from them.

On July 2, 2026 I ordered two dresses from a company called Margot and Ivy. I researched them and they seemed to be reputable. The dresses did not come when they were supposed so I contacted them via email. They had excuses. Eventually after a few weeks I got the dresses. They may be the same fabric as the dresses I ordered but they are most definitely not the same dresses. They are very poor quality and hideous and not even the same style. . I’ve gone back and forth using email with the person I assume to be Margot. I’ve explained I want a free shipping label to return them and I’d like all my money back. She keeps trying to get me to take other deals but I would never want another thing from her company. Now she has told me I have to send them all the way back to China at my own expense and when they are in China I will get my money back. I’m pretty sure I will not get my money back and I will also be out the expense to ship them back to China. They were supposed to be from Greenville South Carolina. I also sent her pictures, at her request, of what the dresses I received looked like.

Breezemax advertises the Breezemax as a compact air conditioner that can cool any room in 3 minutes. However after inspecting the device upon arrival we found that its operation is on the level of only a fan. It has no genuine air conditioner parts. After requesting a return and refund we were told that the return costs were our responsibility. No return labels nor a US return site to ship the item was provided. Upon receiving the return address from Breezemax, it was located in Hong Kong China and the cost to return the device exceeded $460. Obviously it is not cost effective to return the item at over 75% of the total cost and I believe the company knows this before sending the item to the purchasers. This is a very cheap and deceiving scam and Breezemax should be prevented from operating in the US.

Online Purchase - Online Car Rental Scam

Looking to book a rental car and one of the results on a Google search took us to a page that impersonated the rental car counter at the Myrtle Beach airport. Person over the phone charged over $100 more for a rental through Budget than the actual rate from the company. Did not state which company the rental was at all until asked. “Contract” was sent over email and “signing” happened by replying “I agree” over email. Offered to “pre check me” by me giving over my drivers license information, at which point I refused to engage further and booked directly with Budget. Called scammers back to cancel reservation and was told I couldn’t as “the reservation was confirmed.” (Budget allows for free cancellations if the rental has not been prepaid.) Since it wasn’t prepaid ($260 value total), only $159 was charged as a “prepaid amount” to the scammers with the additional $100 due at pickup. Demanded a refund from scammers and was told it would be refunded. Haven’t seen it yet. Thankfully I was able to rent directly with Budget, but they didn’t have record of the other reservation so I’m not even sure if it existed at all. Preying on people in stressful situations is bad enough, i’m sure that Avis/Budget are not going to be happy that they are being impersonated by these people.

It’s nothing more than a fan, doesn’t cool the room AT ALL. I have a long trail of emails with their iffy “customer service” requesting a refund (after a month of waiting with zero tracking information), only to be ignored or told the package is on the way… While I would like a full refund I realize the likelihood of that is scant. I DO want to warn others to avoid the Epicooler company at all costs! The product is absolute TRASH, so not waste your hard-earned money!!

Deceptive Bait & Switch Website - Buyer Beware! This company’s online ordering process is misleading and deceptive. I was attracted by a 70% off of 3 toenail fungal treatment pens for $9.99 with free shipping. They make you enter your credentials and credit card first, then the site deceptively brings you through a series of additional “great” offers, all of which I declined. I never got a chance to confirm the total price before suddenly getting “Order Confirmed” and a charge of $59.94. This was 6 times more than I was led to believe, and was not knowingly authorized. The order confirmation also tacked on a repeat subscription which I never purchased. I went to cancel the order immediately (literally within minutes) before it shipped to avoid return shipping charges, but there was no clear way to do this and no telephone number on the website to call. Using google search, I located a phone number for the company, but it said no one was available to assist me. The Online Help said I’d need to fill out a Cancellation Form, but it was nowhere to be found on their website. After emailing the company several times, they finally said the order was cancelled and that the product would “never leave the warehouse”. However, the next day, I received notice that the item had shipped, and I emailed them again - they said they would cover return shipping. Two days later, the package arrived at my house - just 6 pens, but no packing slip or return information. I read on their website that it would need to be returned to Germany, even though further disclosures indicate the company is located in Dubai, UAE! Yet, the shipping label on the package I received originated from Olive Branch, Mississippi. Five days later, I received a text from Orivelle that another order of $59.94 was confirmed and would ship within 1 business day. This company is clearly a SCAM ! ! Upon reading other reviews on TrustPilot and the BBB (sadly after I went through this experience), it is obvious that their unscrupulous practices and deceptive tactics are widespread and not an isolated incidence.

I inadvertently visited a third-party non government website to renew my passport, called both IVS and Govassist in the emails. The fact that it wasn't .gov should have tipped me off but I was rushing. I paid them $148 which sucks but I am mostly concerned about all the information I provided, including my social security number. They have given me completed application forms and a photo, although I have not sent this to the actual government yet so I don't know if it will be accepted (I'm assuming not). A refund would be great but I am worried about the information I stupidly shared with them.

Cekland used an AI photos to portray a product as something it is not. They made it look very refined and worth the expensive price for each item.They stayed in contact and assured that it was taking so long due to being handmade, but updated on shipping information pretty often, the products took over a month and a half to receive and look nothing like the advertisement. They were poorly painted and overall cheap looking. No where on the advertisement did it say that the product would be different than what was advertised. It is clearly counterfeit. The billing info is located in Wyoming USA, When I reached out they did not offer real solutions, they offered miniscule refunds of less that 10% of the total price. They even suggested that I sell these poorly made items in an attempt to get me to keep them. When I pushed for being fully refunded and returning the item they said it would cost 77$ to return which is 1$ less than what I paid for the crappy products. They have used a false address to ship the item to me and have given me an incorrect address to return the items to in China as I cannot find the address on any postal site when attempting to quote prices. for shipping. They respond the same rehearsed lines through email about how deeply sorry they are that the product has dissatisfied the customer, although their website listed numbers and says the running pacific time, so I am very curious where this company is actually located and why it is so difficult to get a refund. So in summary they are using AI and producing terrible quality products to try to mimick the AI and then refusing to refund customers when they complain but giving customers the run around.

Zenfy is allegedly a marketing agency for customers to match with recruiters who will help them earn secondary income on weekends or free time. I first found Zenfy on social media ads. Their intake page was 100% written then copy & pasted from generative AI and requests $10 subscription to access their platform. No where on my instance of the intake page does it clarify that the $10 is just a 1 week trial and the user agrees to pay an additional $75 for the rest of the 28-day subscription. Once I was on the platform, I realized that all postings and recruiter info were also written by AI and therefore a scam to keep the user around long enough so that they can charge the remainder of the real subscription price by the end of the 7 day period. I contacted [email protected] within 24 hours of paying the initial subscription price and received an AI written response stating that my subscription has ended & my refund will be processed within 3-5 business days. Unfortunately this never happened and enough time passed that they were now permitted to charge me the additional $75 of the subscription. I finally read the real reviews of Zenfy on trustpilot and learned that this has happened to countless other users in the past several months.

Phishing - Online Survey Scam

I signed up for an account with Echochat AI when directed to their website via a social media ad link. They offer points for taking surveys and asking search questions, to "teach AI" according to their presentation. After reaching "Platinum" level of points you supposedly could cash in the points for compensation for your time. I did what was required to max my points out daily for seven days. On day seven I was very close to Platinum. That is when I could no longer access my account. The reward points vanished. A message said "you can not access your account due to a policy violation". All I did was answer survey questions honestly and ask about things of interest to me - nothing that would violate any policy. I emailed their company support but they did not respond. Also I noticed some of the ads I was seeing on social media aligned with their survey material and were tailored to my responses. So I suspect they are scamming people with a false promise of payment in order to obtain personal information to sell. Of course I cannot prove the latter, it is just my suspicion. But they did renege on their stated claim of payment for survey taking time.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

In searching for Woodwick candles, the fake Cracker Barrel website had a big sale ($6-9). This candle usually sells for at least for $20 and up. The low low sale price was hook, line, and sinker for me. On the fake website, I had entered a quantity of 2 candles, entered my address, and card information. The payment processing was taking an unusually long time. I checked the URL to look for the https which it did contain. Then the website redirected back to the payment page with red text indicating that the credit card I entered was not accepted so "enter another credit card"! But then I noticed that the Barrel in the Cracker Barrel name was misspelled in the URL. I did a search for crackerbarreell.online website to learn that it has been reported as a phishing scam website. I immediately closed the web browser and called my credit card. Thankfully in the few-minutes of the card processing, the scammers had not made any fraudulent purchases (confirmed by my credit card company while on the phone with them). Of course, I closed the card and I'll be getting a new card with a new number.

I was told not to speak to anyone about this. And then I was asked to wire money to prevent federal persecution due to charges on my bank account for illegal activity that they would get back on my behalf. They asked for photo IDs and a selfie. They scared me into believing them and as a result, I lost my money. I spoke to 3 people from the initial call: John Wilson @ 949-409-5827 who told me his supervisor would call me the next day: Alex @ 708-568-1296 who then referred me to a woman in the fraud department @ 504-517-6048 who convinced me of the urgency to wire my money to the account they set up for me.

CryptoCurrency - CryptoCurrency

This company advised me to “invest” in an employment opportunity to gain income. They advised me to give them crypto currency which I did and told me at the end of the “scheduled”transactions, I would get a refund. Now they are telling me that I made a mistake when I purchased Bitcoin & unless I give them an additional $3000, they will sue me. They also have told me that my funds are in a secure account until I give them the additional $3000. At that time, I will complete my last “task” and get a full refund of all my money that I have already given them. I am afraid that it is a scam just to get more money & I will never get anything back. It started out slow with small amounts until it increased to $500 and then an additional $1000. All payments were made through my Cash App account. I am currently unemployed & was trying to make some money until I can find a job here locally. When I google the company, there does look like they are a legitimate corporation out of New York. What should I do?

Worthless Problem-solving Service

I sent out a taco catering request for a birthday party on Yelp. Beverly Juarez responded by texting me and quoting me a price. She then asks for a deposit which I then paid by Zelle. She called me two days before the event to make sure everything is ok. Morning of the event she texts for me to send full payment before she shows up. The terms of the agreement were payment in full on day of the event. However she would not accept payment upon arrival. In addition she asked me to zelle a different account than I previously paid for the deposit. I subsequently called her and she never picked up. She texted back saying I needed to provided the full payment without ever showing up. She took my deposit but was not able to get the rest of the payment although she tried really hard through text. Once I told her I figured out she was a scammer she stopped responding. Her yelp page also shows that her business is permanently closed. She has also been flagged on BBB by a previous person.

Employment

I was approached by Andreas Gkinis with EnviroMetrics for a data entry job. We communicated via text on Telegram Messenger. They asked me to submit several projects. They sent me a check for $4750 for me to go and purchase gift cards. They asked me to go to an Apple store and purchase $4500 in Apple gift cards so they could send me the equipment that I was going to need for the job. As soon as I deposited the check into a bank account, the check was cancelled. The bank called me and said that the check bounced and that we had to pay that money back. When I texted the person back and asked them why the check bounced, all of our conversations fizzled away as if they never existed.

Meanwhile upon calling Princess back later, they confirmed that indeed I am paid up and also there was no record of the previous call.

Online Purchase - Happy Tail Cavaliers / Pet scam

Thought I was purchasing a King Charles Cavalier Spaniel and would be driving to Portland to get the dog. Seller reported wife in accident and could not meet. Said he’d cover shipping cost to have dog delivered. Got text from Freight Crest Solutions who wanted $700 refundable rental for temperature controlled crate. I repeatedly asked to speak on phone, they repeatedly refused. My reasoning questioned the need for sophisticated crate for ground transport. I smelled a rat and told them to forget it. I told the dog seller I wanted to cancel. He pleaded poverty and basically said he couldn’t refund my money. The whole thing smells like a conspiracy. A friend informed me after the fact that this breeder/seller had been in trouble many times in the past. So for now anyway I’m out $600 for an expensive lesson I should have caught but didn’t.

Online Purchase - Margot&Ivy Greenville

Please don’t buy from this company!! They misrepresent themselves as a company and they don’t honor their policies or provide the customer the products shown on the website. Margot and Ivy Greenville is a fraudulent scam company - their website says they are a store in NC, USA but they are a drop ship company operating out of China. My mom ordered a shirt from them which was shipped from china without any invoices or paperwork. The shirt was really oversized and not as expected so my mom contacted the company and tried to return the shirt. The website states that returns are guaranteed, money back and hassle free within 30 days of receiving the product. The company did respond to her email but never sent return information or instructions and instead sent offers of discounts (5% of purchase price back), store credits or offers where they would send more product for more money. They basically refused to initiate a return and never honored the promise of a refund. We cut contact with them and opened a fraudulent charges dispute with the credit card company.

Ordered a tshirt online. The website said made and shipped from USA but it can fron China very much later than expected. The website says it supports veterans but I'm sure this is also a lie. The fabric was listed as cotton blend but was not. In fact no tag was attached with the fabric content as required by law. Finally the word freedom was misspelled on the shirt making it defective. I advised the seller of all of these issues and they only offered a 10, 20 and then finally a 30 % discount. I included a picture to the seller and they advised it was a slight imperfection in printing. I was able to open a claim with my bank and dispute the charge but i feel with all their inaccurate claims they should be shut down.

When I inquired about a return, they first insisted I upload photos of the products I bought. Then they offered me a 100% store credit and wanted to charge me $15 for their originally free shipping . I declined this offer and insisted on a full refund and for them to provide a shipping label which I offered to pay $15 for. Then they offered me 100% store credit minus the $15.00 "free shipping" fee. Seems will not accept a return claiming the cost and hassle to me of international shipping to their warehouse would be heard for me [and blow the 30-day money back guarantee time limit].

My refrigerator wasn't staying cold. I called Welch's Appliances in Olympia, they could not get a tech out for over a week but then gave me TitanTech number, saying they had used them before. I called a man named Steve said in could be out in 2 days. OK. He arrived althou' late, looked at the frig and said it needed a blower motor. He said it would be $612.13 for that day and the part, which he ordered from my phone because he did not get reception with Verizon. There is no reception here with Verizon. The part was around $300 give or take and he would return Monday, the 27, July 2026, which he did. The part did not have the correct plug adaptor, so it did not fit in my frig. At that point, he was going to call them and get the correct part or see if the manufacturer could give him instruction on how to rewire the plug. He spayed the vent slot so it would move easier. Never heard back from him. I've texted and called numerous times, with no response. In the meantime, my frig is still not maintaining temperature consistently. I am retired and disabled so every little bit hurts, especially in this economy. I'm not blaming Welch's but I did trust the referral since I have done business with them in the past and have been reliable.

Several emails later about receiving my documents and that my passport would soon arrive, I got an email saying my packet to return my old passport would soon arrive. My husband had renewed his a couple months ago without sending his old passport anywhere. Finally the alarm bells started to ring.

He kept promising to pay me back, but then kept on tacking on more and more. Two more credit reports from creditscorereportcard.com, and scoremymonthly.com, a $40 AI website skimmer that he just kept on calling a "background check", and a photo of me. By that point I didn't care about the tour, and just wanted my $70 back so I just kept moving forward hoping it was just some weird guy.

When trying to return say it was purchased on sale and cannot return for that reason, offered 30% of the $533 that I purchased. These items are not acceptable. They came dirty, the seams are not sewn together, and the sizing is completely off. The material looks like something you would see used to make a parachute.

Initially saw the item on tiktok went to order. It sent me to another website and I bought through them. It came through on my bank statement as another company. So I put a block on my debit card and the next morning my bank called saying a transaction from another state was trying to be made for $94. It was not me and I cancelled the account and sent an email to the company asking for a refund and they refused. So I filed a dispute with my bank and I'm still waiting on the results.

I purchased and received a jacket of terrible quality that did not fit even though I used their size chart as a guideline. Their website clearly states 30 day return, refund and 15% restocking fee. I contacted, they offered a replacement or another product in exchange. I refused, stated I wanted to return for refund. They requested that I confirm that I wanted to return in at least 2 different emails which I did. They stated in all emails that restock fee was $20, I requested they honor what their website states as 15%. This morning I received the following statement in an email, "We're truly sorry to hear about your experience and understand how disappointed and frustrated you are. Unfortunately, we're unable to provide a return address or process a return for a refund. The option we can offer is a replacement instead." Please help others to learn about this fraudulent company.

I saw an ad for discounted shoes that were advertised by this company as being the actual brand project cloud. The way it was advertised made me believe it was the actual brand, as this scammer copy cat the original company website which allowed you to choose products and add to your cart. Shipping took almost a month and I reached out several times asking for a refund, and they insisted I wait for the product. Shipping finally said delivered but product never delivered. Company claimed they would resend the package again, even though I asked for a refund and expressed concern over the second package possibly not being delivered. Second package was marked as delivered after seven days in their pretend tracker. I reached out but not have gotten a response yet. Though I expect the runaround to avoid refunding me.

Their policy states a customer CANNOT return an item without emailing them first to receive a return form and warehouse address. I emailed the merchant on July 21 to request this mandatory information. The merchant deliberately ignored my email, actively blocking me from performing the return they claim I am allowed to do. They are using stalling tactics to keep my money for a product that is significantly not as described (poor costume quality fabric).

Online Purchase - Conivenient

I saw a game on social media I wanted to buy; so I made an ApplePay transaction and purchased it from an online store “Conivenient.com”. The total was $38.38 and included the game, shipping&handling and shipping insurance. I ordered it June 13th. On July 24 I emailed wondering about where the parcel was and they assured me it was on the way but “the system might have some delays these days.” August 3rd rolls around and I sent an email that things felt like a scam and I wanted a refund. Then they proceeded to send me email after email asking for the same things over and over even though I answered all the questions over and over and also requested a refund each round of emails. It’s now August 6th and I have asked seven times for a refund and told them at least three times that the package isn’t here or anywhere. They just keep repeatedly asking me the same questions and it just straight up feels like deflection from a full refund. It’s not even that much money but they don’t deserve to keep my money when there is no product to show for it.

Investment

The scammer pretended to be a professional engineer and wanted to be my friend. She introduced me to this so-called “AI savings” scheme, showing me returns that seemed too good to be true. The supposed return on investment was over 200% per year (even banks can only offer around 4% annual returns). But using online tools like Whois and Google Search, I found that the domain name had only been registered four months earlier. This was suspicious, as the scammer claimed she’d been using it for three years. Another red flag was that the domain name kept changing to avoid being hacked. The website also claimed that Cathie Wood was a strategic partner of the company ( there is no news to support this claim ) From the website, its company information was shown as : Legal Name: MegaShark Capital Ltd Jurisdiction of Incorporation: Colorado, United States Year of Incorporation: 2025 Entity Type: Corporation Principal Place of Business: 1730 Sherman St, Denver, CO 80203 SEC CIK Number: 0002099351 -- But the https://www.sec.gov/cgi-bin/cik_lookup url could not find the fiction name.

Offered a job for data entry. I had an assessment but never spoke to anyone. When I tried calling this Michael Barreto through the Teams invite, he never answered. I completed the assessment, and a few days later I received an email stating that I was hired and to complete an onboarding packet. Not to mention, he stated that my new Supervisor had been included, but I saw no one else attached to the email. Now I've never been hired anywhere without speaking directly with HR, so this seemed odd. Once I reviewed the onboarding forms, I knew something was wrong, as the direct deposit form explicitly stated that I allow Merit Properties to initiate credit and debit entries to my account, which is ridiculous. I also noticed there were no phone numbers listed on the forms or the company's webpage, which was another red flag. I looked up the address they have listed, and it comes back to a residential area with apartments, with no offices in the vicinity.

Rental

A listing for a rental was posted on Trulia and Zillow for the house at 3151 Ramona St, Palo Alto 94306 on August 4, 2026. The rent requested was $5,400 per month, significantly below the average for the area. The house claimed to have a pool and a converted garage. The square footage and amount of bedrooms / bathrooms did not match MLS data for the property. The listing immediately received multiple contacts, I'm assuming due to the incredibly good price. The listing was removed after less than hour, then reappeared again a few days later (and removed again quickly). We strongly suspected suspicious activity, then received a call from a number - the person was claiming they were 'John from Camden'. When we called the number back, 'John' told us we "missed an open house this Wednesday" and that they wanted our email to send additional info and a video tour of the house to. We questioned him about the purported open house since it wasn't advertised anywhere on Trulia / Zillow and they said that "we must have missed it".

The person presented themselves as being with the company’s HR department and provided company information, a website, phone number, and other details that made the job opportunity appear legitimate. As part of the supposed hiring/verification process, I was asked to provide a photo of my government-issued ID and a selfie to verify my identity. I provided those items before becoming suspicious.

To reactivate the policy would be $154 per month and that the policy currently had a cash value of $47000 that I could get assess to if this policy was reactivated. I asked when this policy was open and they stated 2020. I asked for the policy number and they could not provide one as they stated the policy had lapsed but as soon as their supervisor would join the phone call that I would get a temporary policy number and they would need some additional information from me, I kept asking about who opened this policy and they stated that I had opened it and listed beneficiary was listed my husband, also gave my state medical license number (which can be looked up online) and my home address. I kept probing and asked if there was a phone number that I could phone them back as I was in the middle of something, to which she rattled off 1-888-28; then I asked her to repeat the number which she repeated as 1 -888 -828 -5439. Shawn Johnston did ask for my email, which I provided as my business email and she stated that I would receive an email with all the information that she had, I still have not received anything and she also stated that I would be mailed paperwork stating the same thing, but paperwork would take up to 3 weeks to arrive. Said that, we could talk on Monday and make a decision to reactivate this policy. I quickly told her that I work all week and Monday would not work for me which she became flustered to and pushed to add her supervisor to the phone call, but I told her that I would call the number provided back and said have a pleasant evening. I looked up the phone number on reverse search and also called Fidelity (the real company) and inquired if there was anyone by that name that worked there which they said no and that the state ID provided had been flagged as a scam.

Phishing - Financial Freedom

When the phone was answered, after saying my greeting the line clicked over to a real person. This person said that the line was being recorded and asked how I was doing. I answered and she disconnected the line. I did a web search of the phone number and saw that it was labeled as a company called "Financial Freedom". I did call the number back, it rang several times before going to a voice directory, none of the number options did anything, the line just stayed open after the directory was finished.

Online Purchase - NICHELL AoutVasain

Received the product a month and a half after ordering. Once opened, it was apparent that their claims of life-like plants were a total lie, especially since they specifically said the leaves were printed on both sides (the reason I ordered it at the high price tag). The leaves were printed only on the top side, and overall, the "life-like" plant was anything but. To add insult to injury, I requested a refund and return address and was told that their 7-day quality guarantee had passed, and that they could not offer a refund or a return label. First of all, this 7-day return window policy was not apparent on their website. Secondly, I requested the refund and return label at the 10-day mark (after receipt of the product), which I consider reasonable, as most businesses offer a minimum 30-day return window or longer. I was offered a 30% discount on my next purchase. Needless to say that would never be used!

Online Purchase - Hooma

I kept getting an ad on tiktok for a cheap sofa that seemed genuinely useful. I was unsure at first but eventually I went for it because I was moving into a new place and didn’t want to spend a fortune on a new couch. When I bought it online, with plenty of “reviews” saying it was great, my confirmation said it would come in about a week. It’s now been about a month since I placed the order and this stupid order tracker keeps coming up with new reasons for why it hasn’t come yet. They made sense at first but eventually have gotten so convoluted that they can’t possibly be real. I’m still holding out a little hope honestly but it’s shrinking by the day. I should’ve realized something when I found that their website’s homepage doesn’t link to any of their supposed products. Additionally, not too long ago, my bank flagged something as a potentially fraudulent charge and I realize now that may have been connected to this. Bottom line is don’t take tiktok ads too seriously.

Online Purchase - Drop Shipping Scam

I placed an order (YM62607) with York Miller for custom-embroidered jackets. Upon receipt, two of the three XL jackets exhibited significant manufacturing defects, measuring 2 inches shorter in the sleeves, 1 1/4 inches smaller in the trunk, and 1 1/2 inches narrower in the shoulders compared to the third jacket. Despite providing photographic evidence, the company has refused to replace the defective items without charging me for shipping. This directly contradicts their stated website policy, which guarantees they will "make it right" if an order arrives defective. York Miller’s customer service has been evasive, attempting to force additional payments for the replacement of goods that were manufactured incorrectly. Desired Resolution: I am seeking a full replacement of the defective jackets at no additional cost, or a full refund of the purchase price. I have already attempted to resolve this directly with the company, but they continue to ignore the clear evidence of manufacturing error in favor of profit-protection measures.

I ordered cookies from Cookie and Crumb Bakery in Star, Madison Schulte. She required full payment up front to order 3 dozen cookies. On the morning of our event, she sent me a message telling me the frosting did not work out on the cookies and she would not be able to deliver any cookies. She then promised to refund my money but needed 3 days to provide a refund. Three days later, no refund. She ignored my messages and then after I filed a Venmo scam complain, she responded and said she would refund my money by Friday when she got paid. She has not refunded the money and is now ignoring my messages for the refund. DO NOT ORDER from this person- she goes by Maddie- Custom Cookies on Facebook Marketplace!

Online Purchase - Purelia

I went to order a liver support product from a company called "Purelia" from their website. I was unable to go to "checkout" nor complete my order and review it due to continuous add-on popups. Found it frustrating so discontinued the process and never checked out. However, they already had my credit card information. The next day I have not one, but 2 unauthorized charges from Purelia on my credit card! Hence, I contacted them via email immediately. Polite back and forth conversation was established and rather than cancel the bogus order, they proceed to ship against my will as we are emailing! Furthermore, I find on the said "order" that I signed up for "autoship" which I 100% did not! Purelia intentionally misleads people in order to rip you off. Lesson: Check BBB reviews or Trust Pilot before thinking about ordering online. If the website plays games like this, consider it a huge red flag. They are a shady business, and the product is false as well.

Employment

I applied for what I believed was a legitimate work-from-home Package Specialist position with Track Freight Line Inc. Throughout the hiring process and while I was working, I communicated with individuals identifying themselves as supervisors, including James Battle ([email protected], (380) 227-3349), Ashley Martinez ([email protected], +1 (380) 234-1340 and (380) 226-6283), and Felicia Torres ([email protected], (380) 246-2416). I was instructed to receive packages at my home, inspect the contents, take photographs, repackage them, and forward them using shipping labels that the company was supposed to provide. As part of the onboarding process, I provided identification and direct deposit information because I believed this was a legitimate employer. I began receiving packages and uploading the requested information through the company’s online employee portal. After conducting my own independent research, I discovered multiple reports describing this type of operation as a fraudulent reshipping scheme. I also found a BBB Scam Tracker report involving Track Freight Line Inc. with similar contact information and nearly identical circumstances to my own experience. As soon as I became aware of these reports, I immediately stopped participating and have not shipped any additional packages. I currently have two packages in my possession that I have not forwarded. After I stopped participating, I began receiving emails threatening legal action, police reports, and other consequences if I did not continue working. These communications appeared to be attempts to pressure me into continuing to reship packages despite my decision to stop. I am submitting this report to document my experience and help warn other job seekers who may be targeted by similar employment offers. Based on my experience and the information I discovered through my own research, I believe this may be a fraudulent employment and reshipping operation.

I should have known better, I admit that. But, when the ad stated that their product would “correct almost any vision problem automatically” I was suckered into buying a pair. I have had to wear glasses since I was 9 yrs. old to correct myopia (nearsightedness). After all, the website had testimonials from doctors and ophthalmologists (I later found that these were fictitious along with the “money back guarantee” that promised “100% money back.” I have yet to see a dime and it has been a month since I made my request. Lastly, the lying scammers promised a product of “high quality.” Well, I have had maybe a hundred pairs of eyeglasses since I was 9 yrs. old, and these are, by far, the worst quality eyewear that I have ever owned. They are flimsy, and actually dangerous, due to a sharp edge where the bridge meets the nose so that if I were to press down hard it would cut my nose (and I would have to do this often, because they fit so poorly.) I don’t know if the glasses actually “block blue light” but if what I have read so far is correct, the effect of blue light in the production of eye fatigue is highly overrated.. You are better off briefly closing your eyes…and while you are at it , take a nap.. The effects of sleep on the body, including the eyes, is tremendous and overwhelmingly positive!

Home Improvement - DoorMasterGarage

We are elders, age 85 and 78. My husband, regretfully, while researching repair entities for our garage door, near Stillwater, N.Y. , called an area code 319 number. The repair individual arrived in an unmarked vehicle and wore no identifiable company logo. He was from a foreign country, Morocco. He tinkered with the box and stated that we could replace the door part for $1300 or he could do a temporary repair for $787.00. My husband, a Parkinson's patient, took the temporary repair. The “repair” took about 15 minutes. He said he would email the receipt. Needless to say, I was distressed when my husband told me about the transaction. Interestingly, our initial credit card payment was denied , so my husband used another. After the deceiver left, my husband contacted the first card people who informed him that the denial was because there are complaints about that business. When we received the unusual receipt, my husband called the 518 area code number which was set up to not receive messages or call backs. I tried the number a few times a day later and confirmed that. My husband and I are devastated to learn we are scammed. My husband is afraid to cancel the credit card transaction. The scam tax id number is SP260804-03967. It’s non- trackable! I am reporting this to you because I don’t want other elders, or non elders, to be victimized as we are.

I got a robo message with a lady voice claiming she was "Ms. Clark" from " Payment Processing " saying i was unreachable via phone, email and mail that they want my current address on file to add to my case and i am flagged as evasive and non compliant. To call them back at 409-761-7631. The caller id showed that it was from 907-921-9025. They ended the message saying: thank you and good luck.. They call me everyday. calling me and now they are leaving voicemails. I blocked them but they still get to my voicemail. I know this is probably a scam. I havent gotten any mail and I know better than to answer a robo calland give my personal information.They have been calling me from all sorts of numbers its now recent that they are just now leaving me robo voicemails every day. They obviously are using a scare tactic to get more information. It just doesnt seem right or legitimate.

Order was still never received, instead I have received very rude and unprofessional emails from this so called company every time I have reached out for an update and have since seen where others have suffered from this company as well.

I have been receiving these recorded calls for months now. They spoof different numbers on my caller ID but use the same call back number (369-216-6437). They also use different names, but April and Sarah are used most often. They state that my loan has been approved and they need additional information, or my tax relief application has been approved. I have not applied for any type of loan and have done NO business with Anchor Lending. Some days I receive 10 or more recorded calls, beginning at 8AM and as late as 10PM EST, which is very frustrating. I have blocked every number they call from but all they do is use another fake number. I have also reported the call back number to the FCC.

Online Purchase

This FAKE/so called company was on FB feeds and social medica claiming to have GLP1 product at a cheaper rate. After processing , the cost WAS NOT WHAT THEY WERE CLAIMING IT WOULD BE, no discounts applied as advertised. Next business day I cancelled, with that gut feeling as though I may not be dealing with a reputable company, at that point I especially didn't trust the product. I have kept every email sent to them, Im ready for my small claims law suit. They tried saying the product was sent & delivered to me and I wasn't entitled to the refund. No way was the product sent to me between me ordering/paying and cancellation time. I contacted my CC company and advised them of this scam. No refund has been provided to date. I have called and emailed many, many times. No-one has called me back even after they say they will to fix this issue. I asked to speak to a Senior Cust Service Mgr, or someone in their Finance Dept Leadership position, they just keep running me around in circles, putting me on hold each time Id ask to speak to a supervisor level employee. Wouldn't even give me the company owners name or information. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY!

He had a table set up in front of the Safeway at the address, and was selling the baked goods like cakes and what not for 20.00 each. so i tried my debit card first on his phone payment system and it declined. the second time i used my credit card and it went through. when i left with my item i got a notification from my phone telling me i was charged 2,000.00 from the “rise uo foundation”. i immediately went back to the man who sold me the baked good and told him he made a mistake and to please refund me. he scrambled on his phone, told me he reversed the payment and i asked for a receipt. he just sent me a reciept of 20.00, and i asked again for the refund receipt. he blew me off a bit and said he sent me the original receipt and that id see the refund soon. I never got a refund, and in hindsight i realized the receipt was fake because the last 4 digits on the card used was not mine.

I saw an online ad for a Labrador retriever for $600 which should have been my first clue. After going back and forth online with the woman at the kennel we came up with the price of $600 plus $200 shipping air freight which I thought was reasonable for a total of $800. I told her I would send her half now and half when I had posession of the animal. The day the animal was going to be shipped I was informed that the kind of crate the breeder brought to the airport wasnt the right kind but I could rent one for $900 and it would be refunded to me upon the return of the crate. When I asked her why the crate was so expensive as the cost of the crate was more than the price for the dog I was purchasing I didnt get a straight answer and was passed off to the air shipping company which was even more of a headache than the breeder was. I said I wasnt gonna pay $900 to rent an animal crate which was a HUGE red flag. They said I would be refunded the $900 but I wasnt about to take that chance as can be expected. I then told the breeder I wasnt gonna pay the $900 crate rental which was ridiculous in the first place and to just refund me my $400 that I had sent her through Apple Cash but now that I want my money back its like their computer or phones dont work. So beware of Bridges Falls Labradors online, I lost money but I hope I can stop you from losing any the way I did.

Fraudulent Fire Inspection Scam - Superior Fire Protection LLC?. An unauthorized representative from Superior Fire Protection LLC made an unsolicited visit to my business. They led us to believe they were conducting a required official fire inspection, briefly looked at the fire extinguishers, replaced the tags without performing proper maintenance, and demanded an immediate payment of $20. This is a deceptive and fraudulent inspection scam. Because $20 is a small amount, many victimized store owners simply let it pass, which allows this scam to continue. It is highly likely that other local businesses along South Tacoma Way are being targeted as well. The local government and city authorities must take active enforcement action to intervene and stop these fraudulent practices to protect local small businesses.

This originated as a saddle ad on Facebook within a reputable used saddle page. The seller indicated that they would ship the saddle via ground, insured. Once I paid the deposit, they sent information stating the saddle was with the shipper and provided a photo of the saddle in a box and tracking information. I also received an email from the shipper verifying the saddle was picked up. I sent the rest of the payment thinking the saddle was on the way to me. What clued me in on the scam was an email from the shipper asking for another $399 for insurance on the package. That was to be Seller's responsibility. After a few messages back and forth, I asked for a refund. That is when Seller disappeared off of Facebook. Upon closer inspection of the website, it is an elaborate scam.

I got two charges on credit card from this company totaling $269.98. I don’t know the company. They sell Squash equipment and vitamins I guess. I’m 78, walk with a cane and certainly would not order squash equipment. Sometimes I order “safe” vitamins or supplements but I have congestive heart failure so have to be very careful. The 833 number led me to their contact who said I got “Restore Biglycerine Support / with folic acid and niacin”. She even gave a DHL tracking number. I didn’t order this, I never got a product like this. Credit card company gave ne credit for $49.99 which was part of the full charge. They won’t credit anything back more ($219.99). Now what? Just lose the money??? I take blood thinners and they told me this is a blood support product. I wouldn’t have ordered that. And why two charges? $49,99 and $219.99.

Online Purchase - Pet Scam

I found a labrador retriever online for $600 which I thought was too good to be true, She was in Mn. so she would have to ship the dog and shipping would be $200 which I thought was reasonable. I told her I would send her $400 now and the other $400 when the dog arrived. The morning of the deal she tells me that the crate she has isnt the right kind and I would need to rent one from the air shipping people for $900 which they said would be refunded upon returning the dog crate to them. I thought that since the cost of renting the pet carrier was more than the price of the dog I got a HUGE red flag. Conveniently I wasnt told about the additional $900 crate rental and when I commented about that and said it sounds like a scam and if they had shipped animals before with the same airline shipping company why didnt they mention the additional charge right from the start? I got the runaround from them of course and told them to just refund me the $400 that I paid them using Apple Pay and we could part ways and no problem. I think you can guess what the response I got was. And on top of all this, the dog was going to be a birthday present to myself so Im out $400 and no dog. I honestly dont know how these people sleep at night.

Other - Online Ticket Scam

This scam is a switch & bait. The company posted a fake American Airline ticket round trip from Tampa to DC for a discounted price of $286.00 per person. Once we paid for the tickets, they called us back next day stating that American did not have those seats available nor that fight and that we had to take an all together different flight with a different airline on different dates and at a higher cost. We also have to pay $360 in baggage fees on top of the $815 for the tickets. We are American Airline card holds and members so we do not pay baggage fees when we fly and we explained this to the agent but he didn't care. The agent sent an email and pressured my husband to confirm it all while still pretending to search for alternate flights for us. My husband asked if he could wait and let us call him back to see if our friends could pick us up in Richmond, VA instead of DC. We told the agent we will calll him back. During this time the agent booked us on a flight with Breezy Airline to Richmond and they processed charges to our credit card all before we could call him back to confirm anything. Once we called back to ask why did they book the flight without our approval, the agent said you hit confirm on the email, my husband explained he thought the email was to continue to work with the agent to book the new flight. There were no refunds and we could not make any changes to the tickets. We were stuck with two tickets that we never approved or wanted. I can only assume the agents at Best Ticket Fare are working for Breezy Airlines, using American Airlines as the bait to purchase tickets.

Employment - Amazon Imposter Employment Scam

They contacted me by text saying they had a job opportunity where I would commentate and rate products at Amazon for a commission and bonuses. That I would not have to buy anything. They assigned me a trainer named Emily Smith. She had helped me open up accounts on the Exodus, Paybis and Cash App websites. It was very sophisticated rouse working on legitimate websites. In addition they had a so-called social worker group called “Amazon work group 104” chatting with each other, teaching each other on the Signal site on how to operate the business and it seemed very real and convincing. They were always chatting in the background as I was being trained by Emily Smith. I chatted with them also and they answered back so that made it feel all the more real. She had me set up all the above mentioned crypto sites and was having me passed through the money I made on these crypto sites every time I did a rating session on products. I started at the introduction level. I would do 30 products get paid commissions and then pass those commissions to the crypto sites and then bring them back to the worksite. It was convoluted. I initially figured they were doing crypto mining, or something where it helped the value of their crypto. Ethereum is the crypto they used. Everything was going along fine until I hit a what they called a “lucky bonus” where you got a very large payoff for one product. They said it was random and happened very very rarely. The only trouble was on this large commission, you had to have more money in the workstation. They call it the workerbee site. Just as long as I got the balance up to the required amount (which was turning into the thousands) was the only way to get the payoff completed on the super bonus. . I fell for the Random and rear excuse the first time and covered the payment with around $500 of my own money in several payments. I primarily worked between this Workbee site that was on the Signal and Exodus crypto site.. Then I got a super bonus even bigger than the last one which Emily says “almost never happens”. Here is where they wanted $2100 to cover the bonus payment. That’s when I put the brakes on and got real. I started complaining to Emily that this doesn’t feel right. I am putting in more money than I’m receiving. I told her that this is feeling like a scam now. She said no it wasn’t and then she’s been doing this for years. She even offered “as my new friend” to give me a portion of the $2100 and I would pay her back after the transaction with a large portion of my commission. I told her that if she had all this experience in this business and was sure of the payout, why can’t she go ahead and give me the whole $2100. She finally said she would put up $1500 but would never agree to pay the whole $2100 though. She always left $500 to $600 that I had to pay. The other thing that was interesting was when the dispute started about making this $2100 payment, all the chatter from the work group that was always happening in the background on Signal stopped. Emily kept talking to me, but the chatter stopped. I questioned her about that. She had no good answer. She tried every angle to get me to put the money up, but I refuse and she finally stopped talking. I have also not talked to her since. I never got Emily’s personal phone number but do have a copy of all the communications and photos going back back-and-forth with the training on the Signal site. If you’re interested in getting it, I’ll be more than happy to get that to you if you could show me how to copy it off the Signal site. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

Fake Check/Money Order - Fake Vendor Check Scam

I was messaged by someone named "Isabella Casandra" on an app/site called " Artist Connect". Its a sight for music producer collaboration. I was told by "Isabella" that they worked for a company named Artdrunk Gallery & Jewlery ( https://artdrunked-gallery-hub.lovable.app/ ) and that they were interested in using music I had composed for a social media ad for $500. I told them I was interested and didnt here back for a while. Eventually I went to the website link (provided above) and contacted them through email. They responded saying they were still interested. There was an agreement I signed saying that I was to recieve $500 and retain IP ownership of my music. Afterward they told me to standby for a text. The text was sent through Whatsapp saying to check my email for a check do do a mobile deposit. I figured it would be a test to officially see if this interaction was legit or not. There were two checks emailed to me by [email protected] for a total of $1500. I scanned the fronts and backs through a laptop screen. After about a day, the $1500 actually went through to my account. I assumed there were no issues and proceed to interact. Then I was asked to screenshot the deposits to confirm and transfer them the extra $1000 through cashapp in bitcoin claiming it was being sent to the "design team" smh. Afterward, I was told they wanted to use another song from my artist connect profile and to send the remaining $500 of the $1500 claiming they would after send another $1500 and let me keep the remainig $1000 in the same fashion. I sent the $500 and my bank balance was back to where it was before the interaction. Then they asked to send the $200 dollars I had in my account which was my personal money for bills, grocceries etc. So I refused. They got aggressive to which I responded with another refusal and blocked them. I checked website again, this time more thoroughly, They had two museum addresses for 515 West 24th Street New York, NY 10011 United States and 628 Fleet Street Toronto, ON M5V 1A8 Canada. I called the NY address and it was for Gladstone Museum in NY. Artdrunk is a real museum but its in Spain. I didn't think a scam could be this elaborate until now.

Debt Collections

A person called me, and said they with a company by the name of Walter Williams & Associates and that they represented a creditor that was attempting to sue me, but they could offer me a one time settlement for half of the original debt. She sent me a bogus looking "docusign" attaachment. I told her if this is a legit company, that to send me a secure link to "pay", of course she claimed that wasn't an option.. After blocking the "fake" email address & cutting all communication off, someone starting calling me leaving intimidating voice-mails along the lines of, " a complaint had been filed in their office, and the issuing agent will be reaching out to me @ my home, and or place of employment" & that I needed to call 855-636-0206 to avoid further action.

Letter received in mail by father. Father is 83 years old and did not recall any business dealings with the company. I called and asked for understanding. Company representative indicated that it was a home warranty company and the letter was a final notice. They indicated that if i didnt provide them with a routing number for checking to take $292 today they would 'redline' the property and cancel any home warranty. I asked for previous bills for this service showing where my father had used before. They would not provide and refused to let me speak to a supervisor saying they were not available. They said if i ended the call without paying that the home warranty would be canceled and the property "redlined". No indication of what that term means or its ramification.

Home Improvement - Dylan Brown Alias Appliance Repair Scam

A referral from Nextdoor, We called number 689 356-4949, put in zip code and was sent to 214 681-9028 for appliance repair. Dylan Brown came over that evening to repair a washer machine, when done, he said the handle was broken on the unit and wouldn't close so we could see if he solved the problem. this was a friday night on july 30th so he collected a check, wanted a debit, said he would return monday to fix. I finally got him on tuesday said the part shows in and he would setup the appointment for wed 3-6. at 6:15 i called, was busy going home to get the part. Will come first thing next morning 10-12. I Called at 11;45, he missed us earlier on a call and never showed up even though the night before i said i would be there and needed him to complete his job. Said the company insists he reach us by phone or he can't come. He never came that afternoon or the next morning so I searched this man on yelp and other locations to find he has been ripping people off for several years and continues to take from older people. He is listed as Appliance Master on Linkedin with little information, one of the people stated his old number was 214 283-6733. In that case Appliance Pro referred him which has bad ratings as well. According to others he blocks your phone number if you complain. Since our washer worked with a closed door up to him coming we think he broke it so he didn't have to prove his workmanship. After reading a lot of reviews on this person this man needs to be arrested for theft of others.

Online Purchase - Caldwell Persian Kittens

My experience with Thomas Caldwell of Caldwell Persian Kittens raised serious concerns regarding transparency and fulfillment of the sales contract. I signed a contract for the purchase of a kitten, which included the kitten's purchase price plus $250 in shipping fees. The contract specifically stated these charges and did not mention any additional fees, insurance requirements, or other financial obligations. The following day, Thomas confirmed that the kitten had been registered for delivery through Elite Trans Courier. Shortly afterward, I was contacted by the shipping company and informed that I was required to pay an additional $500 insurance fee before the kitten could be delivered. I was told the kitten would not be released until this payment was made. The company would only accept payment through a bank account transfer and would not allow payment by credit card. When I contacted Thomas Caldwell regarding this unexpected charge and requested that he cover the insurance fee, he stated that he was short on cash and encouraged me to make the payment myself. I then raised concerns that this additional fee was not disclosed in the contract and would be a breach of the original agreement. After that discussion, Thomas stopped responding to my communications. Based on my experience, I would strongly encourage prospective buyers to carefully review all terms in writing, verify shipping arrangements independently, and be cautious if additional fees are requested after a contract has been signed, especially when payment is requested through methods that offer limited consumer protection. This review reflects my personal experience and is intended to help others make informed decisions. Thomas Caldwell retained the initial $350 deposit without refund. Buyer Beware

It was a Pop-up ad in a game. They claimed to be in Garland TX. I wanted a USA 250 tee so I ordered it for me, a shirt for my husband, n another top for me. It was mid-June so I thought it would arrive in plenty of time for the 4th - coming from TX. I was shocked when the shipping notice came n said it was coming from China! I immediately sent an email complaining. After about 3 emails I did finally got a reply. They said their TX factory was so busy they had to go overseas to get additional help, but be assured the quality would be as good. I continued writing complaints regarding the timing - it was obvious I wasn’t going to get my order on time. They gave me 15% off for hanging in there. In one letter they’d said if I didn’t have it within 2 weeks they’d refund me in full. Well, that time passed and I wrote and said ok - I want my full refund now! Well gee, they can’t do that, so how about 20%? The order arrived the next day. It was awful! Everything was to be cotton. I’ve no clue what these fabrics are. (No tags) And my husband’s shirt - a button-up denim is some weird fake linen stuff, feminine looking. I said I wanted to keep the tee and return the other 2 items. Well gee, they weren’t able to do that - because they have no address in the US! I fired off on that too, since they’d said up front that the China factory was only to assist the TX factory. Anyway they went on about their fabulous fabric try to convince me to keep it. I insisted I want to return it. They finally offered me 20%. I said I’d take 50%, and we settled at 30%. So all in all I came out ok, but I was very persistent. I spent $89.33, but I was refunded $50.45. The thing is, it was such a bad experience I’m not sure I’ll ever even wear my 250 shirt that I was so excited to get.

Counterfeit Product - Harper and Wells Boston

This company presented itself as being based in Boston, selling high priced items at a discount. It took weeks to receive my order of a dress and pair of shoes. When I received the order, the materials and design were sub-par. The website claims that they take returns but that is not really true. They first offered a 10% refund if I kept the items - saying that it would be very expensive to ship them. I continued to ask for a return label, and they kept countering with a slightly higher refund amount. Their final offer was a 40% refund, with me keeping the items. They included this address if I wanted to mail the items back for a full refund. They claimed that return costs would be $30-50, so I accepted the 40% refund. Hangzhou Sumai Technology Co., Ltd. 3rd Floor, Building 3 No. 55 Yifeng Road Xiasha Street Qiantang District Hangzhou City Zhejiang Province China They claimed to have issued the refund, but I haven't seen it show up in my bank account yet.

Upon answering the phone when I explain that I have no contact with her he became agitated and stated well don't get your panties in a wad . The next couple of times I ignored the calls until today. He called from a different number and I explained to him that I do not know the person that he is contacting me for I've never met this person, and I also explained to him that I have him on record and he said OK and transferred me to the same lady that works the desk. And when I also explained to her what was going on, she stayed on the phone with me and explained that they need to get a hold of her for a private matter and I again explained to her that I have never met the lady and if they don't stop calling that, I was going to file suit.

Phishing - My Store

On August 5, 2026, I received Shop app push notifications (not text messages or emails) advising me of three new orders in my legitimate Shop by Shopify account. When I opened the app, I discovered three unauthorized orders under the merchant name “My Store.” The orders appeared to be legitimate purchases that I had never placed. All three orders shared the same characteristics: * Merchant: My Store * Order Numbers: #******, #******, and #****** * Order Date: August 5, 2026 * Amount: $339.96 USD (each order) * Description: “Premium PC Protection Plan is active for 12 months.” * Invoice Number: ********** * Transaction ID: *********** * Customer Support Number: 1-888-742-8203 Each order also contained a manipulated shipping address displaying the message: “If You Didn’t Place This Order Call Us at 1-888-742-8203.” Because the orders appeared within my legitimate Shop account and were accompanied by official Shop push notifications, I believed they were genuine unauthorized purchases. I called the customer support number shown in the order details. A male answered the phone and immediately asked me for the transaction number associated with the order. Believing I was speaking with customer support regarding the unauthorized order displayed in my Shop account, I provided the transaction number (***********). Immediately afterward, the call was disconnected. The three fraudulent orders later disappeared from my Shop account without explanation. I am submitting this report to warn other consumers about this apparent scam. The fraudulent orders appeared authentic because they were displayed inside a legitimate Shop account, all three were for the same amount ($339.96), all appeared on August 5, 2026, and each directed me to call the same telephone number. Consumers should independently verify unexpected orders through Shopify’s official support channels and should not rely on any telephone number embedded within an order or shipping information.

There was an ad on Facebook about a robovacuum. I was told to use it and give them a review. After that I was added into a group where they had us make an account on this website: https://www.asoastore.com/#/ . And we had to buy things from the merchant so that it produces orders for the customer and it increases their product sales. They had me buy and transfer from Cash app to Bitcoin and then they would add the to the site. You then got a profit and commission at the end of the day after completing tasks. I completed my first task and they paid me a commission, when I did it a second time the orders were extremely high to where you couldn't purchase and they refused to give me back the money.

This website provides QR codes and they send you an email a week later saying it's going to expire so you have to pay to keep it. Then they present pricing that is deliberately misleading, with the monthly amount big and bold and tiny grey writing below that you can barely notice that says its billed annually. And if you go ahead with it, they get your credit card info and then do not tell you how much they are going to bill you before they do. Their invoice doesn't show the currency they use either. And then they have a zero refund policy that is also not made clear when they present the options initially. They are deliberately misleading people and taking their money. When you try to complain, which I did immediately ask for a refund, they deliberately ignore you for days. They just say they're too busy and ignore you until you go away. It took a week to get a response and they sent it to the wrong email. They try to say the checkout page shows the total but it did not. They're a scam website.

Subject: Unsolicited fraudulent mailer for "Home Warranty Programs" I received a deceptive mailer from a company identifying itself as "Home Warranty Programs." The mailer falsely claims that there is an urgent lapse or change regarding my home warranty.

Advance Fee Loan - Telephone calls / texts about a loan

For approximately the last six months, I have been subjected to repeated unwanted phone calls and text messages from this company while they have been attempting to reach someone else. I am not the individual they are looking for, and I have informed their representatives of that fact on multiple occasions. I have also repeatedly requested that they stop calling and texting my phone number and remove my information from their records. Despite those requests, the communications have continued. At this point, this is no longer a simple case of mistaken identity. It has become persistent harassment. No consumer should have to repeatedly explain that they are the wrong person and continue receiving unwanted solicitations for months afterward. I am requesting that the company immediately cease all phone calls, text messages, and other communications to my phone number, permanently remove my contact information from all of their databases and marketing lists, and ensure that my information is not shared with any affiliates or third parties. I also request written confirmation that these actions have been completed.

Home Improvement - Ray Garage Door Repair

Senior citizen woman was told that the price for replacement of garage door rollers replacement included the cost of labor until the job was 95% done and then the technician said he needed to call his boss and to ask a question and then told her that he got in major trouble for for the price he gave and that it would be an additional $225 labor charge. He then asked for a tip before leaving. Upon further investigation by me, I have found that the building on their website is a fake AI photo and that building does no even exist, the technician did not show up in a company vehicle either. I strongly feel that they preyed upon a senior citizen who felt scared to say no to the additional fee because the job was mostly done and thought they may take the door back apart and just leave it unassembled. Also the fee for the rollers according to many other reputable companies should have been far less and it also would include labor. She was also given an invoice by text that had to be paid by credit card and then the technician told her he was in trouble for giving her that invoice and they sent her a different one by email. The number do not match so she is now concerned that they will try to charge her again.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product - Lucille Rane

I ordered a dress from the Haverly Lane website, (now called Lucille Rane). It took several weeks to arrive and when I tracked it, it was coming from China. When it arrived, It had no brand tag, no shipping invoice and was very cheaply made and not as full and drapey or as long as the website or picture showed. It had a small tag deep inside the dress saying it is a polyester and elastin fabric, when the online description said it was a soft cotton/linen blend. There is no phone number on the website, just an email address. The website says easy returns within 14 days so I emailed them to explain how disappointed I was and wanted my money back. I didn't hear back for 3 or 4 days. Their response was the following: "To make this as easy and stress-free as possible for you, we’d like to offer a $14 partial refund, and you can keep the item. This way, you won’t have to deal with return shipping costs, delays, or the inconvenience of sending it back. Many of our customers prefer this option because it’s the fastest way to resolve the situation while still receiving meaningful compensation. If this works for you, just let us know and we’ll process the $14 refund right away. We’re here to help and want to make sure you are satisfied with the outcome". I told them this was unacceptable and wanted a full refund. The next email I received from them said: "In accordance with our policies, we do not accept returns. We invite you to review our return policy on our website, accessible on the product page as well as the payment page. Return policy : https://haverlylane.com/policies/refund-policy" The Return Policy says they do not accept refunds on sale merchandise. EVERY item on their website is on sale!! Today when I googled Haverly Lane, the website comes up with the name "Lucille Rane". This is definately a SCAM.

I was sold counterfeit skin care products for an exorbitant amount. Scammer quoted $226.25 but charged $326.25. Products that were sold were determined to be counterfeit based on fact that company publicly states that they do not have retail locations and has advised to avoid such offers due to frequent counterfeit scams using their products. Extremely manipulative and high-pressure sales tactics were used to pressure a sale. Was also overcharged by $100 over what was quoted. Sales person deliberately did not show total on register before prompting card to be charged and rushed to upsell additional products to distract from looking at receipt. I was also given alcohol to attempt to make me more susceptible to the sale.

I paid $22.98 for a phone case that was falsely advertised. The website showed an oval, raised 3D-framed design, but the business sent a cheap, flat-printed circular knock-off instead. The item shipped from China, but they were insisting that I return it to Canada. When I contacted customer service about this bait-and-switch, they refused to provide a prepaid return label. Instead, they demanded that I pay out-of-pocket for international shipping from the US to Canada, which costs $18+.Requiring me to pay international shipping for their mistake means the shipping fee effectively wipes out my refund. I would essentially be paying the entire cost of the case just to return a knock-off item they incorrectly sent me. This is an unfair business practice used to avoid resolving customer issues.

I am writing to formally complain about my recent order with your company. The merchandise I received was of extremely poor quality and did not match the descriptions or images used to sell it. The product was clearly not what was advertised. In addition, an extra charge of **$10.95** appeared on my package under the description **“Fraudulent Charge”** and was attributed to the Postal Service. This charge was never disclosed at the time of purchase and appears to be an unauthorized add-on fee. I consider this practice deceptive. I attempted multiple times to return the item due to the unacceptable quality. Each request was denied. I also note that your business provides no working phone number, which makes legitimate customer service nearly impossible and further erodes confidence in your operation. I request the following: 1. A full refund of the purchase price **and** the unauthorized $10.95 charge. 2. Confirmation that no further charges will be applied. 3. Written acknowledgment of this complaint. If this matter is not resolved promptly, I will escalate it through my payment provider’s dispute process, file complaints with the relevant consumer protection agencies, and share my documented experience on public review platforms.

Counterfeit Product - Beyond beauty

While shopping at the mall I was stopped and had some people do my hair with a new curling iron and straightener. The tool that he used on my hair was not the same item he sold me. The Man rushed me along and said that these were the items that he used on my hair. When I got home and opened up the box I then noticed a lot of the features that were on the one inside of the store in the mall we're not on the one inside the Box. When using the item at home it did not do what it did in the store. Looking online at reviews now, it looks like this has happened to many people at this store with these guys. They are saying that it is a product they're selling but it is a knockoff. They will not refund your money and are very rude when you come back and try to talk to them about it not being the same product. I have reached out to them and they have just become hostile. The product they had inside of the store in the mall had a few buttons on top of it to help control and keep it safe the one they gave me does not and does not have the safety features on it.

This is a Prop Firm named Upcomers, i been buying evaluation,account and funded account with them for more than 3 months, last night push me to the limit, what they did. I have a live funded account with them worth $50k, and the minimum profit target for the-day is $250 in order for us customers to be-able to withdraw or cash out we need to achieve this for 5 days, day 1 aug 5th i made a profit of $293.13,day 2 profit of $313.86 ( i took a photo almost every profit day i achieve 3rd day aug 7 first sets of trade i loss approximately $180 but recovered everything and was able to profit around $310, so my trading is done already, then i check the dashboard of the prop firm day 1 is good, day 2 -74.28 and day 3 profit doubled and its 698.87, i have a proof of it and took a photo. Where did my profit on day2 went ? So it went-to day 3, in this pro- firm there is a consistency rule of 20% which means that if yo make 250 on the first day of trading, you should be profiting or gains at last 250 per day for 5 days, so my day 3 doubled meaning i need to profit at least $700 for 4 days.now i lose 1 day profit day and added 1 day of profit day plus doubled the profit target daily Spoked with them few hours ago arrogant and reasoning out about the UTC they don't even apply if the customer is in the loosing days and doesn't even exist weeks ago. Because i trade 7-pm-1am ET and I'm really listing my winnings because i only want to do the min profit daily then my day is done.

Employment - Imposter ABGT Real Estate Employment Scam

I was targeted by an employment scam impersonating ABGT REAL ESTATE LLC. They offered me a remote, part-time position as a "Remote Email Support Specialist" with an unrealistic pay rate of $35 per hour. The hiring process was entirely fraudulent, featuring no live video or phone interview. Instead, onboarding was handled via a generic Microsoft Forms link and a text/chat assessment. They sent a fake employment contract containing highly suspicious clauses, including an offer of a "Two (2) shares" stock option and a clause stating they would send an advance check to cover home office training equipment. This is a classic fake check and data-harvesting job scam using a real business's name.

It seemed pretty legitimate from the email they sent me, describing the job description and pay. I scheduled the interview and they responded. However, this interview wasn’t a Teams call, they wanted to interview me through chat. They went by another company name: North Point Advisory Group. I did some research and people mentioned the company and warned everyone this was a scam of people asking for money for some cryptocurrency scheme.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

REVETIR IS A SCAM. THEY SELL FAKE ITEMS. over the past few months, ive conducted a thorough investigation on this company as I am a avid collector of designer fashion, with years of experience. I am blessed to have been given personal invitations to private sales by events and brands, so let me be clear that my conclusion on this company doesnt come from the low prices, as its fully possible for their to be a sample sale or a place that carries heavily discounted designer clothing. Looking through REVETIR, the site is very clean and professionally setup. Very convincing, they went as far as to create fake blog posts for the front page, which upon further review are articles written by people who seem to have little to no actual knowledge on fashion, and just to make the site look more realistic. This website boasts the sale of only authentic products, so I emailed them to confirm before placing an order. They emailed me back assuring all products are authentic, come with money back guarantee, but they failed to explain to me the sourcing of their items. Im all for keeping secrets, but even a vague answer would have been okay, they dodged the question fully. I then looked up their physical office in NYC, and had somebody go to the building to confirm this company has an office there, to which the building employees (multiple of them) said they had 0 recollection if any company called REVETIR ever rented a space in their building. So the HQ is fake. There is absolutely 0 real life human reviews on this company, only this here trust pilot which is very artificial looking feedback most likely made by accounts from them or they instruct others to write positive reviews. I also will like to highlight the two reviews on trust pilot that mention the possibility of the items they received being reps but them being cool with it. Yet another giant red flag. Their instagram page is also extremely new with multiple unprofessional posts in a bad attempt to simulate professionalism. They are unresponsive to any DMS involving the sourcing of their items, and only respond to compliments. Despite this being an extremely obvious scam, I decided theres not much hurt into testing it out, as policies online claim returns are accepted and all items are authentic so in the event i receive a fake item my bank chargeback case would easily win. So not much hurt into trying there. On a separate anonymous account I placed an order. For one, the site boasts of all items coming from the USA. The item shipped from Hong Kong via DHL. Which is historically one of if not the #1 place for replica factories to produce items, and there is a very little amount of items that come from them that are authentic. Package lands, and what do you know? The item is a high quality replica/fake. With all of this research done, my conclusion was made and confirmed but I still wanted to hear from them their explanation of this. I went ahead and emailed them off my normal account to which i noticed a few things, 1 their website is now password only - They ended up giving me access. I emailed them once again explaining in detail my skepticism and asking multiple questions including letting them know i plan to make a big order (for consumption, not resell). Revetir replied back and proceeds to use this as a great way to prevent me from buying their items and uncovering the truth as they sent an email letting me know im banned from their website under suspicious of reselling when i made it clear to them that was not the case. I sent them 10+ emails asking them for comment or to make things right to which they never replied despite their timer on their website claiming theyd reply within hours, which they were before they realized im someone who has been actively investigating them and have the power to take action. I went ahead and attempting contact on instagram dm, no reply. Commented on their instagram post to get their attention and what do ya know? they blocked me. in conclusion, as much as id love for a site like this to be a real, this is nothing short of a professional looking, well thought, disgusting scam run by disgusting poverty prone scammers, absolutely horrible that theres so much of this amongst the fashion community and I wish there was encouragement to make actual livings then a couple of bums putting together an ai built site trying to scam people who are just trying to acquire their favorite pieces for a reasonable price. I am currently in works to get this website and company fully shut down as I am in contact now with multiple agencies to hold whoever’s behind the scam REVETIR accountable. I also will follow this written review with a tiktok/ig reel to further spread the word on this matter, Do not waste your time or money at this scam website, you will receive a replica you can purchase yourself for a fraction.

Online Purchase - Online Lead Referral Service Scam

I was born a sceptic. I studied biological and physical science in college, if that helps you to understand me. I have worked with lead-gen systems before so I know what to ask. These guys are really really good. I am almost more impressed by how good they are at scamming than pissed that they duped me. The multiple texts messages and phone calls were very low pressure, business-like and informative. They even kept up the scam days later. They told me I would receive my first lead within 18-20 days. About day 14 I texted to confirm which number I should have saved in my phone so I don't miss a lead and mistake it for a spam text. I texted the "sales" guy Jason Sage. He responded about two hours later. That two hour gap in time was the first time I thought hmm?, maybe something is not right here. Before he responded, I did the research I should have done before giving them my debit card number. I realized they were a fraudulent company and quickly called my bank to report it and cancel that card. Much to my surprise, Jason responded. He referred me to the other guy who onboarded me, for questions regarding leads. So this guys name is Alex Watson. I played their game. I texted Alex to ask what phone number I should enter into my phone such that I could recognize it as a new lead. Unbelievably, Alex responded. He was kind and informative and helpful. I actually found myself thinking, "wait, are they a real company?" Alex has responded to at least three texts since then. They do not know I am on to them and they are playing the long game. They can't get anything from me beyond the $349 I eagerly forked over. So, I wonder why they are playing the long game. Why are they still responding to my texts? I am playing stupid with them right now, they have no idea I am on to them but what do they have to gain in keeping me looped in? I can't figure it out? Perhaps I should have shared this earlier, one of the things that allowed me more trust in them was when we signed the "contract" they asked for my office address. I dunno, I'm clearly not anywhere near as savvy as I thought I was. Save yourself. Here is the contact info I have: Jason Sage - 855.687.6433 Alex Watson - 717.432.6122 trueleads.us I hope this helps BBB flag these fraudsters and more importantly help a fellow agent before they fall victim.

July 10,2026 got a call to an agent Nick Oliver from rogers telling rogers emailed me a promotional offer of an apple iphone 17 pro for free as an appreciation as a long time customer so i entertain him because i never thought it was a scam. He asked me to sign in to my rogers account online so i did it, he guide me to everything like adding an iphone 17 pro max since the 17 pro is not available online but he promise me that i will get 17pro and even the phone number line that is attached to the iphone 17 pro then after that we submit the order. He instructed me as soon i get the tracking number order for the phone to arrive give him a call so after a few days phone arrived and it was 17 pro max not 17 pro so i called him that they sent wrong phone model and apologize for the mistake, he then ask me if i will keep the phone so i said no because i will pay extra money for it. So he asked me to send it back and giving me a return shipping label that is address to a wrong address and a person will received it instead returning it back to Oakville, Ontario, where the device came. i never checked the shipping label because i know it will go back to rogers. so i returned it back by sending the package to an ups store which he also can track the date of the delivery thru the tracking number i provided. The following days he asked same again to replace the device and plan so i still can get the promo offer knowing he will send the right phone so we placed the order again but now only available online is the samsung s26 ultra but i will still get iphone. i don't know why that time im lost that everything he just asked me i just do it. i think we did twice so i placed the order 2 samsung s26 ultra. Then the following days i receive the phones where i pick it up in a fedex store because i missed the delivery guy it it was the same mistake again that he said i'll get the iphone 17 pro, so same again i refuse to keep it because i'll be charged extra. Same what he did give me a return shipping label address to person he knew or an accomplished instead to oakville. Same thing again i didn't check the destination of the package because i trusted him and just bring to ups store. i think. July 20 he asked me to call #21# to deactivate the promotion because i so ****** of by sending multiple wrong device, he keep convincing me but i said i won't get the free phone since i know that i return the devices to oakville that's the time he asked for my credit card number and expiry together with ccv to compensate the inconvenience i go through but i just give the card number and expiry because i insisted to him that if i give the ccv he can use my card to purchase what he want. when i check my rogers bill this august 2 that's the time i knew i've been scammed because the device was not returned to oakville and that's the time i check the two shipping label he provide was address to two different person but same address. I've been trying to contact rogers to dispute the phone bill and the devices because my bill went up about $150 extra in my august bill and when i'm checking every added line with the monthly plan i can also see there the amount i need to pay per month for those 3 devices but i have no luck to speak to them because due to higher volume.I'm suffering an emotional stress due to what i've done. i filed a complain case to canadian anti-fraud centre for what happened to me same to commision for complaints for telecoms and television services and even filing an investagation to UPS to the retrieved the second package which inside is the 2 samsung phones because when i track it the package is still at the ups store. the first package was pick up already last july 14. ******** ** *** ******** ***** **** ** ******* ** ****** ************ ** *** ******** ** *** *******

It took weeks rather than days as advertised for delivery. ( I was suspect when I saw the gray plastic bag ). What arrived was a nasty dress of cheap gray cotton, no pockets and unwearable. This site is a scam in China. They advertise “complete satisfaction” and “refunds”, but when requested you get the run around. They’ll replace the item if you send more money. Repeated emails, no satisfaction. I don’t believe you’ll be happy with this company. I certainly wasn’t.

The scammer advertised on Youtube while I was watching CBC News. It looked legitimate because the same brand is available on Amazon but not the same model as was advertised on Youtube. I paid for 2 projectors and got an order confirmation without any delivery date or customer-service contact. So, I replied back using the same email i.e., [email protected], the one I received the order confirmation from, asking them the delivery timeline. My email was rejected and not delivered with the reason that the recipient email "[email protected]" does not exist. This made me search the legitimacy of the company, only to discover that this company has already been flagged as fraud and scam. I have reported this scam to my credit card provider and requested them to issue me a refund. I also cancelled my current credit card that I used fearing that my personal information on the credit card might have been compromised and, have requested for a new replacement credit card.

Online Purchase - Harrington & Co. Hatters

I received a package today containing a denim newsboy cap that I've never ordered (or would ever order) from a company called Harrington & Co. Hatters. It was shipped from 5215 S Boyle Ave, Vernon, CA 90058, and it was delivered by the courier service GOFO. As of writing this, it doesn't appear that I've been charged for the item on any form of payment. I found the cap on Harrington & Co. Hatters’ website listed for 50% off at $30. I also found the same cap with the same exact product photo on Temu for under $6. There are no brand tags or care tags in the cap I received. The Harrington & Co. Hatters’ website appears to be created with AI. It lists 6,000+ reviews averaging 4.8 out of 5 stars but you can only see 14 of them. Those 14 reviews all contain obviously AI generated photos of exclusively white men in their 50’s and 60’s and many look like they could be related to one another. A quick search shows that the company is a ‘newly registered hat retailer’ (27 days old) hosted on Shopify, and neither the company nor its website are rated as legit on any sites I checked. I’ll add that the package that the cap came in has the company name along with a drawing of a newsboy cap (seems to be part of their logo) that are in the style and font of something from the late 1800’s or early 1900’s. That made it appear to be a legit company at first glance when I picked up the package from my front porch. No clue what the Temu connection is, if any. I did read that scammers will set up a fake website store and list products that can be drop-shipped from sites like Temu or AliExpress, but sold at 10 times the price. I also read that many fraudulent companies use this same Vernon, CA address because there’s a large warehouse there that’s a notorious shipping hub flagged by BBB and Yelp for brushing scams and deceptive online storefronts. They also commonly use the same ‘last mile’ courier as Temu, GOFO. This seems to be a brushing scam, and hopefully this info helps someone out there.

Home Improvement - Cascade Roofing

In the spring I determined that my house needed a new roof. It has a two tiered roof and was built around 2002. After the first bid, which I thought was a bit excessive, my husband reached out to a former co-worker, Nathan Frame-Link. On 6/17/2026, I hired Mr. Frame-Link (Cascade Roofing) based on what I though was a fair price. I paid him the full price of $18,850 by check (I wanted to help him out and thought that could speed things along). He provided us a discount if we paid in early June so he could start roofing in July. On July 3, 2026, he showed up to work for approximately three hours. The gap between 6/17 and 7/3 was apparently due to vehicle issues. He tore off approximately less than 20% of my shingles. On 7/6/2026, his associate that I only know as "Shamus", arrived to start work (approximately 10 AM) and Nathan showed up to help. The then were able to remove about 50% but only worked until approximately 2 PM. While there he notified me that my facia needed replacing and that it would cost $2500. I agreed and paid him the full amount the next day by check. They worked the next day and got all the shingles off the first tier roof and put tar paper on 80% of my roof to "protect it." After that, neither Mr. Frame-Link returned to finish the job. I kept texting him and he continued to have tell me he had vehicle problems. After 7/13/2026, Mr. Frame-Link stopped communicating with my husband and I. We repeatedly tried to text him, call him (leaving voicemail messages), and reach him in Facebook messenger, but never received a reply. In the interim, he also deleted his Facebook page, which he had used to contact me prior to payment. After weeks of no communication and not progress on my house, on 7/29/2026 I sent him a text informing him that due to the lack of communication and progress, I informed him that I needed to find another contractor to finish my roof and requested a refund for the remaining work. On 7/30/2026, Mr. Frame-Link finally texted me back “…as you wish to cancel the job and no longer want work at your property, I will consider this project terminated per your request. No further work will take place, and no further contact will be made about this job per advice of my attorney.” He provided an address for any demand letters and/or documents (5200 Cleveland St., Port Townsend, WA. 98368). No materials were ever delivered except for a U-haul trailer to take the shingles away, and a role of tar paper. He also used my ladders and several tools, demonstrating he was not prepared for this job and hid behind "vehicle problems". I withdrew money from my retirement to pay for the roof and now will likely have to do that again to get my roof completed. It has since rained three times and likely further damaged my roof even further. I have begun the process of getting legal representation, but it the end result doesn't look promising. If I can actually get the materials he claimed he put a downpayment on, that's probably the best outcome I can hope for. As it stands, he took all my money, did only a quarter of the job at best, didn't provide me with any materials that I paid for, and left me holding the bag. I'm trying to get help as best I can. All I want is my roof done which I don't think is asking too much. His actions have put a strain on my mental and physical health as well as my husbands. Any help you could provide would be greatly appreciated.

Counterfeit Product - Pinemoor

I made a stupid Pinemoor impulse buy on Facebook. I got the product and realized it’s not as advertised. It has questionable ingredients plus doesn’t contain others advertised. I wrote off the purchase because returns are inconvenient and expensive. I only authorized a one-time purchase and charge but suddenly got an email that my “next shipment” was ready to ship out. Pinemoor gives no phone number so I couldn’t call. I sent an email to the only working email I could find. My email clearly asked them to cancel my unrequested reorder but it shipped out and it was too late to have my credit card company prevent the charge. I cancelled my credit card so they can’t do it again. No one ever acknowledged or replied to my email so the customer service is terrible. I regret ever buying from Pinemoor and I’m 100% unsatisfied. I think the “automatic reorder “ is a scam. I’ve been greatly inconvenienced and I want to warn others not to shop with this sketchy business.

Counterfeit Product

I saw a posting on Facebook where people were saying they had great results for their pets who had allergies, and I was hopeful when I saw people sharing positive experiences with this company/product. I made a purchase on their website for their liquid collagen supplement for my pet. I was immediately charged and automatically enrolled in a subscription program where I will be receiving the liquid collagen on a monthly basis. I realized after purchasing that this product/company was a scam and immediately attempted to contact them to cancel my order, ask for a refund, and cancel my subscription. I emailed the email on their company website ([email protected]) which is what they tell you to do, and have not received any response back. I've emailed them 8 times and have not heard back. There is a "manage my subscription" section on their website, where you're able to see your active subscription, but it literally takes you in circles, not allowing you to actually cancel your subscription and prompts you to reach out to support for help. At this point, I don't even care about the money I've lost, I just don't want to be enrolled in the monthly subscription and lose more money.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase Scam

I purchased European flax Linen bed sheets. I didn't notice that the storefront has 2 different return policies. A 30-day risk-free return; then, in the FAQ on the same page, it states a 100-day trial, a 100% no-questions-asked return, and a refund. The worst is that it claims to be a 100 percent European flax product. It isn't. I have the receipts in the email from them. Made in China, and the sheets do not indicate what materials were used. According to my AI team (Gemini, Grok, and Perplexity). They were never featured in any of the Newspapers or magazines listed on their storefront (could be a mistake; it is AI). Their third refund requirement, as stated on their policy page, is that their product must be unopened, unused, and in its original packaging to be eligible for a refund. All of which, in my opinion, is a violation of 15 U.S.C. § 45. Advertising a risk-free trial while using fine-print restrictions or support policies to deny the trial constitutes a deceptive business practice, as does making false statements regarding product geographic origin.

Offered to send a check to pay for a technology package needed to be used for work. Would discuss which one to pick once the check goes through my bank. Then I would order the computer myself. Once the equipment package is received, then I would start my onboarding process and finally meet my supervisor and team.

I ordered two t-shirts from this company. When I got them I immediately saw they were unwearable due to their size. I emailed the company at their customer service email 15 times and never received a reply. I wanted these shirts SO bad I ordered two more, "another $50 dollars", in what I hoped would be the right size. These came, but after one wash, with the product inside out as recommended, all of the paint/color faded so much I can't wear these either. There is NEVER a reply from them, and they have a customer support email all over their site. I now have lost $100 on t-shirts that are totally fake, made poorly, the wrong size, and can not be returned or exchanged.

Credit Repair/Debt Relief - Credit Repair/Debt Relief

This store continues to break FEDERAL LAW. By forcing consumers to pay an illegal subcharge on debit cards. As I went to pay, I saw a sign that said there will be an extra charge on debit and credit cards. Obviously, under federal law it is illegal to do this. As I tried disputing this and saying my rights (because it’s already such an expensive service now she is trying to steal more money from her customers it’s sad). But as I tried to explain as nicely as I could, she became extremely aggressive with me, shouting at me, telling me it’s okay. I asked “what’s okay?” And she just repeated it. She said that she knew she was breaking the law but that it wasn’t her fault it was the square apps fault (another lie) I asked “do you think it’s okay to break the law?” And she became even more angry and said that she isn’t breaking the law. So she’s one minute saying yes I’m breaking the law it’s not my fault, and the next claiming not to break the law. It’s a federal law. She Gets aggravated at her CUSTOMERS disputing it. This isn’t okay (obviously because it’s illegal)

I was told if I was to purchase 7 containers this would completely paint my entire garage floor. I received the 7 containers and they are less than a quart in size. What they have sent to me would not complete 1/3 of my garage floor. I have been having a run around with PayPal as the sender wants me to send back the product to China costing me about $80.00. They have offered 46.00 less than the paying price I paid to them as a solution. I would be out 120.68 of the total I paid of 275.98. At this point I feel I will not get any money back from them if I was to send the product back to them. I have now done research to discover this company is a scam. I am unable to get through to PayPal to speak to someone.

Online Purchase - Cozya Home

I saw the viral video on TikTok about these boneless couches selling for $10 I checked it out which led me to their site. I saw I could purchase 2 for less than $20 and it would include 2 decorative pillows. I ordered them on July 10, 2026 transaction posted to my bank account on the 13th. Their site states that delivery is typically between 5-7 business days. It also states on their site that carriers are DHL, UPS, USPS but they told me that they have no clue who the carrier is which was red flag #1 for me. They’ve been giving me the runaround stating that it has to go through customs, it’s still going through the correct process of getting it delivered to me, that I had to way 7-10 days and it will be delivered if it’s not to contact them and they’ll get me a refund or something else. I waited the 7-10 days and nothing happened. This morning(Aug 6, 2026) I received an email saying that they attempted to deliver the packages but no one was home but I’ve been home all day, they said they were going to schedule another attempt but I contacted them letting them know that no delivery attempt was made and that my ring camera only alerted my neighbor leaving for work. They said they would escalate it up but that I’d have to wait another 30-60 days to get maybe some information back. I told them I can’t wait another month or two when I should’ve received my packages long ago and that I wanted a refund but they kept telling me that they couldn’t issue me a refund because it was up to Cozya Home to issue that but the only email I have to contact them is the one that keeps telling me that they can’t issue one. They also told me NOT to dispute the transaction with my bank because they’d consider it fraudulent which would in turn be a legal matter at that point. I’ve requested a refund since it clear that I’ve gotten scammed but they refuse to refund it and now refuse to respond to emails I’ve sent them. I sent them one last email stating that I would be contacting my bank to dispute this transaction and that I would be contacting the BBB. I know it may not seem like much money to anyone else but it’s a lot to me and my family. We desperately needed new couches and when I came across this I didn’t want to pass up the prices for them. They stated that in my confirmation email that it would give me the carrier and estimated delivery date but I screenshot when I ordered it and there’s nothing on there as well as have the email. I’m hoping that this company will be held accountable so no one else has to go through what I have.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The Bellemont Sisters pose as small US-based boutique store that have online retail. Their origin story, pictures and storefront description makes it look like a legitimate US business. The dress I purchases was extremely poor quality, so much that it is unwearable and not fixable. They advertise "easy returns" if the customer pays the shipping fee. Since they claim to be US-based, I assumed (wrongly) the fee would be national shipping price. In reality, this is a China-based business that only offer a 10% return, or request an additional $10 for a different size. They do not offer to send a return label, instead they insist that shipping is too expensive.

The company assured that the furniture will come in August, yet no updates. Finally emailed again. Response was that the product is still being manufactured, hence delivery date is October. In July, I received a $50 refund after complaining for the inconvenience and I was offered an alternative furniture which was not what I needed, and I declined. I was assured that it will definitely arrive by August or will be updated again. I was never updated. I reached out, and now they’re saying either you cancel for refund or wait till October.
