Please shut down this business. The website is completely fake, fake storefront stating it is from Vancouver, whereas fine print says the warehouse is in Vancouver and the business office is in the Netherlands. However, the google map shows a residential house at the Vancouver address and also the residential address (house) in the Netherlands. The order arrived much later than I expected for a parcel shipped within Canada and it cleared customs which indicated it was shipped from abroad. The items (blouses) were of poor quality, 100% polyester, and one item was very thin cotton with much shorter sleeves that is customary for Canadian size M. Items do not match the actual pictures on the website (on the website they look better quality). There is no information about the content of the items on the website. It shows the pictures of fake business owners and a scam sale because they are closing the store. I have started the return process and will fight to get my money back. I have asked the seller to start the return process and will fight their request to pay return costs. I doubt the reviews are genuine. Please take this website down, more people will get duped and order. Thank you.

I then received an email with an order number and was told I can also use Shopify to track it. I was doing more digging on the company and so I called them and the automatic voice system said that they aren’t able to transfer my call but they can transfer me if I want to talk about purchasing other items so I went and I transferred and I was talking to somebody and asked so I accepted just so I can talk to somebody and they answered it was glitchy and they asked for my name and I told them my name and they didn’t know how to spell it which it’s a very simple name and they were just really glitchy so I hung up. I tried contacting them again and the phone system said if you have someone who is in need of medical items to continue with the call. Then I hung up thinking was the wrong number. So I tried calling it again and now their phone system has dial tone then hangs up. I also looked up there address it’s non existent. I have also sent them an email asking for a refund and to cancel my order. Also you can still go on their website to make another purchase. I also tried going on their website to track my purchase and it can’t find my order number.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase

I purchased a parasite cleanse product from Holior after following a link from Facebook. At the time of purchase, I did not see a clear and prominent disclosure that I was enrolling in a subscription that would automatically renew and result in monthly charges. I have since discovered that Holior has continued withdrawing money from my account each month. I have attempted to contact the company to cancel the subscription and resolve the charges. Their customer service information is difficult to locate, and the phone number is buried in the fine print rather than being readily accessible. I have called the numbers provided, but the calls have not resulted in meaningful assistance. The phone system indicates that I am next in the queue, then says no one is available to take the call and directs me to leave a message. Before I can successfully leave a message, the call disconnects. I have also sent emails to customer service. Their automated response states that they will respond within 24–48 hours, but I have been waiting weeks without receiving a response or resolution. In addition, Holior advertises a 30-day money-back guarantee. I attempted to obtain a refund under that guarantee, but the company has not honoured it or provided a meaningful response to my request. I am now concerned about the continued withdrawals from my bank account and the difficulty of cancelling the subscription. I have also seen numerous other customers commenting on Facebook about similar experiences, including being unable to cancel subscriptions, being charged repeatedly, and not receiving responses from customer service.

I placed an online order (on 7/7/26) for 2 dog cooling mats for a total of $45.00 dollars. Immediately recvd an email from them stating my product was already being shipped. However, delays began occurring. I had communications with them via the email address I have listed inquiring why such a delay in receipt of the merchandise. When the delay kept happening, I communicated to them that if the products were coming from China, I did not want them & to cancel my order. I kept getting brushed off that they were unable to cancel the order. They never offered resending an expedited order since it was well over a month with no product received. Well the products were finally delivered last week 9/10/26 & the products are of horrible quality. During my email communications while waiting for the products, I advised them what are the steps for return of the products as I no longer wanted to do business with them. They provided I could get 50% back & keep the products. Or I could return the products for a full refund. But that I would be responsible for the shipping cost for the returns. I emailed them on Mon. 9/14/26 that I would do the 100% refund. Well they replied with their return mailing address information and sure enough it is in China. I emailed them back on Tues. 9/15/26 to state I will take the 50% refund but their business practice is deceiving since I had advised them (back when the first delays were occurring) that I did not want any products from China for use on my pets. And that they had never advised their return address info. was in China. Which now makes more of an un-necessary additional cost for a dissatisfied customer. We'll see if the offered 50% refund is at least honored.

Phishing

I have received several of these letters over time. The author of these letters have my full contact information, the square footage of my house and perport to have insured my home in the past. Letters are of a threatening nature, including language such as "FINAL NOTICE", "...IMPORTANT YOU CONTACT OUR OFFICE", "...THIS IS WILL BE OUR FINAL ATTEMPT TO CONTACT YOU". "FAILURE TO CALL AND PREVENT A POTENTIAL LAPSE IN COVERAGE COULD RESULT IN YOU BEING LIABLE FOR ALL COSTS ASSOCIATED WITH ANY HOME REPAIRS." I even have a customer ID (HDU1ACAP8524) even though I have never been a customer...and yet I was told that my coverage was expiring or had expired (they said both). I am not fooled by them and have asked several times that they not contact me again. This time I very directly and loudly told them not to contact me again...I also said that this is a campaign to scare people into thinking they owe money or that they are losing their home insurance (which is a real threat to Florida home owners) and implies an urgency some people might think real. They have a Florida license, I don't know why...and people who believe their implied threats can be scammed into buying a home warranty thinking its home owner insurance. I asked how they had my information and the man I talked to said that my mortgage company has that information and records it (apparently for public use). The mortgage company mentioned in my letter ("Success Mortfage Partners, Inc.) is not my mortgageor and has not been so for a very long time. I refinanced my home years ago with Success who immediately sold the mortgage to another company. Please enter my complaint with all the others you must have about these scammers and remove any licensing if they do not stop these tactics. Jean H. Wall

I received a voicemail stating Niagara county court judicial services was trying to serve me with papers on Monday September 14 from 8-12 pm and said I needed two forms of valid id, and if I wasn't available at my residence, they would proceed to my place of work. They gave me a case number and said they would take pictures of the exterior of my house. They gave a number for me to call, 18665721648, I called it, the guy Jeff ext. 110 explained to me that I'm being sued and there is an executive court order, and he also gave info on a credit card that no longer exists, giving dates I supposedly opened and closed it. He then wanted money, and was willing to take half if I paid. He then got very defensive and upset when I stated this was a scam. A lot of things he said didn't add up. When I asked if he was a debt collector, he said he was a mediator and is trying to resolve the debt before it goes to the court. He claims that I owe him a certain amount of money and would be able to take less than half of the amount of debt.

Phishing - Home Warranty Scam

This organization is posing as a home warranty company. They referenced our bank on a letter to make them seem legitimate. We had not received our mailed contract with Choice Home Warranty yet, the home warranty company we signed with for our new home, and so I believed this was them reaching out. When calling them, the operator did not reveal a company name and asked to agree to a contract verbally. They explained a payment plan and asked for the first month's payment. The entire time I believed this was Choice Home Warranty. We have not received any further information from this organization and eventually received our physical contract with Choice that didn't match up with what the operator explained to us, which confirms it is a scam.

Request a refund if you did not like the product. I tried to call their customer service number but it seems to be a fake number, +1 (307)4301147 Then while dealing with this they sent another bottle and charged me.

Phishing - Healthcare Solutions

I have been called insistently by this company and it will not stop. They spoof local phone numbers so every number is different. They use a variety of AI Robocallers, one common one calls itself "Laura". In their spiel they never reveal their business name, just promising missing benefits and money. I've found that persistently asking for the company's name seems to trigger the bot to send me to a live person. This last contact was "Michael Green" who will finally tell you he is calling from Healthcare Solutions (thinking the bot sent a willing customer on). I have no idea how many of the different anonymous bots are this same company but I suspect many of them are this one set of scammers. For example, on Saturday, my only 2 sales calls that day and 11 minutes apart used two different bots. "Laura" and one who sounded like an old lady who did not give her name. I also got transferred to a live representative yesterday. FYI, all were told these calls were unwanted yet they continue daily.

Then they asked for last 4 digits of card and 3 digits on back card and then when I hung up they had taken all my money. I went to Enterprise Rental at Baton Rouge Metro Airport and they told me I was scammed because they didn't take "Go Bank cards.

Several weeks went by and dress arrived looking nothing like dress on line using stiff fabric and poorly made. . . and also didn’t fit my body. Tried to return the dress. Mooyius would not give me a return address even though I stated that I wanted a refund to the original payment and that I would return the dress at my own expense. Instead, they sent me the exact same poorly fitted, poorly made, poor quality dress in the next size up while I was away on vacation. Immediately on my return from vacation, I notified support@Mooyius that I wanted to return both dresses. Please send me the address so that I can mail back at my own expense and that (again) I wanted my refund.

I have been back and forth with them at least 4 times. I finally contacted my credit card company to dispute the payment and hopefully I can get my money back. I went on their facebook page and saw the posts similar to what happened to me. ________________________________________________ Here is one of the many emails I sent to them... Customer Service Orfolia, I am and EXTREMELY OUTRAGED customer, Your website says and I quote “100% Risk Free Ironclad Guarantee – Your Satisfaction Our Promise”We stand behind our products with absolute confidence—and we promise that in writing. If you’re not completely satisfied for any reason—no excuses, no complicated forms—contact us and we’ll promptly arrange a free replacement of full or refund. This is our no-nonsense commitment to you: shop with total peace of mind.” Well I am 0000% satisfied. How you could send me items pictured above in place of what I actually ordered is OUTRAGESOUS!!! _______________________________________ Here is one of their replies. They want me to keep the junk they sent. It appears to me that if I send it back they are not responsible if it gets "Lost in the mail". Dear Customer, I'm sorry for the issue with your order. We are so sorry to hear that you are not willing to accept this suggestion. This is the best proposal that I can provide to you, but in this case, I have checked with our manager, we would like to offer you an exceptional proposal which will be provided to you only: how about we provide a 20% refund for the product. Otherwise, you will cost more than 20USD for shipping the product back to us and customers need to be responsible for the returning shipping fee. However, due to the instability of logistics, we do not recommend that you return the package. Otherwise, we will not bear the losses caused by logistics. I would be very grateful if you would accept our offer. I look forward to hearing from you. Again, thank you for contacting us! Have a great day.

I placed an online order with Joyfball on July 28, 2026, for three soccer uniforms totaling $73.70. On August 8, the company emailed me stating that the order had shipped and provided tracking number ZS15855505099. However, the tracking information has not provided a verifiable carrier, delivery date, or proof that the package was delivered. Joyfball’s website states that shipping to the United States normally takes 7–15 working days. The order is now well beyond that timeframe and has still not arrived. I have contacted the company four separate times through its listed customer-service contact information, but I have received no response, replacement, or refund. I am reporting this because the company accepted payment, failed to deliver the merchandise, provided ineffective tracking information, and will not respond to requests for assistance. I am disputing the $73.70 debit-card charge with my financial institution.

Jollyfuls at the time was selling synthetic plants.. I purchased two plants that never arrived at all. They say they shipped it sent me a tracking number for a bogus delivery third party company that’s part of there scam. The delivery company has zero contact information unless you pay the delivery company more money to tell you where your package is at.. I paid rapid delivery and 5 months later still nothing! Jollyfuls changes their website with different products on the page every few weeks to make it look like it’s a different company than the one you purchased from. Now Jollyfuls is selling jewelry! They’re scamming people out of their money! Not shipping anything at all.. When I reached out to Jollyfuls they said I received my packing it was shipped to CA.. I live in WA State! When I told Jollyfuls I live in WA State not CA they sent me a FedEx tracking number that isn’t valid at all!! What happened to the third party company 17Track that was supposedly the carrier with my package that was out for delivery. I don’t live in CA it was a way from Jollyfuls to try and distract me from reporting their fraud!! Anything listed as Jollyfuls is a SCAM!!!!!

Online Purchase

I was shopping online for appliances and came across Prime Home Appliances at primehomeappliances.com. I became concerned about the legitimacy of the business when I learned that they would not accept a credit card and instead required payment through services such as Zelle, Cash App, or Chime. I asked whether I could pick the appliances up directly from their warehouse so I could verify the business and merchandise in person. I did not receive a response to that question. However, when I previously indicated that I was interested in purchasing the appliances, they responded immediately. I then contacted the City of Richmond in an attempt to verify the warehouse address that Prime Home Appliances provided. The city was unable to verify that the business was renting or owned the establishment associated with the address I was given. Prime Home Appliances also claims to have a warehouse in Texas and to be part of the “Prime Home Warehouse Network.” There were also several concerns with their online presence. Their Facebook page displays reviews, but I could not find any option on the page for a customer to actually leave a review. In addition, the phone number displayed on their website contains too many digits and appears to be invalid. Because they would not accept a credit card, required payment through person-to-person payment services, did not respond when I asked to pick up the appliances at their warehouse, and I was unable to independently verify the Richmond warehouse location through the city, I did not feel comfortable sending payment. I did not complete the purchase or send any money. I am submitting this report because these circumstances raised significant concerns about the legitimacy of the business and I believe other consumers should exercise caution before sending funds.

Rental

I came across this listing on apartment list recently. I sent an email interested in applying for this apartment that was listed as a 1 bedroom 1 bathroom utilities included apartment for $2000. I instantly got an email in regards to this listing with an application form to apply. I apply and send over the application immediately. I got an email back stating I was approved and the next step was to sign the lease and process payment for first month’s rent and deposit. I was informed to send over the payment through Zelle or wire transfer. I sent over the $4000 payment through wire transfer thinking that was the last step onto receiving my keys to the apartment. I then get another email stating they needed an extra $2000 for last month’s rent which i know most properties require, so I sent that over again through wire transfer. They state through email and text message that would be the last payment. I then later get another email the next day telling me I have to put down another $3000 due to me being a first time renter and credit score. They told me that would get applied to next two months rent so I sent that over. They stated that would be the very LAST payment and once’s processed I can come to the property and pick up my keys. After that wire transfer processes and is received, I get another email from them that didn’t feel right at all and knew something was up. Then the day before I am supposed to receive my keys I get an email stating: Payment has been received. I’ll attach your receipts below for your records. There was a miscommunication in my earlier email regarding the $3,000 payment, as this was not the final payment. Terri recently found out that the previous tenant had not been paying the electricity bills, which resulted in the electricity being disconnected just yesterday. Therefore, the outstanding electricity payment needs to be addressed. Additionally, the credit limit mentioned earlier was an additional 4–6 months. The owner would like to use part of the payment to take care of the outstanding balance today. As a result, the owner is requesting an additional four months’ rent which is $8,000 Because of the inconvenience caused, as well as the credit score concerns, the owner has confirmed that this will be the last additional payment you will be required to make. Your next rent payment will be due on April 1st 2027. However, instead of paying the full monthly rent, you will only be required to pay $1,000 for April as compensation for the inconvenience. Thank you for your understanding and patience. Best regards, Austin That was the last straw for me after that email because I know landlords cannot legally do that. They’ve tried to keep switching up the story on why I need to pay that much and that’s when I knew I had to take matters into my own hands. I got in contact with a friend that is a realtor and I break the whole situation down to her and she then says to stop communication and report this. This listing is a scam on apartment list that is not to be trusted. This all resulted to me getting scammed out of $9000 dollars.

I am reporting concerns involving LILITH TECHNOLOGY HONG KONG LIMITED (Lilith Games), the developer and publisher of the mobile game Palmon: Survival. I have played Palmon: Survival since January 2026 and have spent approximately $17,565 on in-game purchases, including bundles and digital items that provide specific power, stats, and gameplay benefits. I have encountered several issues that I believe have significantly reduced the value and fairness of the purchases I made. First, real-money account trading and account sharing appear to be occurring among players despite the game’s Terms of Service prohibiting the sale, transfer, or unauthorized use of accounts. I have received direct messages from players stating that specific accounts were purchased from other players, as well as messages and other evidence showing players using accounts belonging to other individuals. These issues have been reported to the company through in-game support, along with evidence. I was told that the company could not intervene, despite the activity appearing to violate its own stated rules. When a player can purchase a 10,000 dollar account for 500 dollars, this directly creates an unfair and uncompetitive experience for players while also inherently decreasing the value of my purchases by abiding by the games TOS. Second, the game’s matchmaking system has created increasingly severe disparities between servers based on spending levels. In the current season, my server has repeatedly been matched against servers containing extremely high-spending players, resulting in heavily one-sided competition. Third, some servers with large numbers of high-spending players can apply temporary debuffs to players on opposing servers for extended periods. A -30% HP debuff has recently been applied to my account and may remain for up to two weeks. This substantially reduces the effectiveness of the characters, upgrades, bundles, and other digital items I paid for. My concern is that consumers can spend substantial amounts of real money on digital goods advertised as providing specific power and utility, while subsequent game systems and actions involving other players can materially reduce the effectiveness of those purchases. At the same time, account trading and account sharing that appear to violate the company’s own rules can create additional competitive advantages. I have contacted Palmon: Survival’s in-game customer support and provided evidence regarding these issues, but I have not received a satisfactory resolution. I am reporting this so that BBB and other consumers are aware of these practices. I believe consumers considering significant purchases in Palmon: Survival should be fully informed about how account trading, matchmaking, spending disparities, and temporary debuffs may affect the value and competitive usefulness of paid digital goods.

I just pulled up Royal Caribbean in my search and clicked the phone number they answered Royal Caribbean I was calling regarding my points I received during my cruise that had not been credited yet they asked me for my crown and anchor number then they said they knew why my points weren't added yet because my date of birth was incorrect and I asked how could that be so I gave them my date of birth then they said they have to do a soft pool I didn't know what that was they asked for the credit card that I paid for my prior cruise with I gave them that they sent me a code to my phone I gave them that now my bank account has been charged $2184.65 I responded by saying I did not authorize this charge they hung up on me. So I found the real royal Caribbean phone number and called in the rep said we will never ask you for your credit card that's when I realize this was a scam and I had been taken

I ordered a Rand McNally road atlas, printed addition, 10" x 13" that was to be shipped to my home address. They asked for a shipping address. What I received was a downloadable document for RV travel, not a printed version of the Atlas. i complained directly to them and the money was refunded the next day. Their comment: "Sorry you weren't satisfied with our product". A little puzzled why the refund was so easy; I did comment I was going to file a complaint with my CC company. Perhaps that inspired them.

Employment

For their potential employment screening, they have you complete "tasks". Most of the tasks only involve looking up products on their site, clicking the ??, then screenshot and send it to admin. However, there are "prepaid" tasks that are not mentioned ahead of time. With these, there are 4 levels to choose from. Then you have to go to CashApp and put money in it, then change it to bitcoin, because they deal with merchants from different countries. You are then instructed to "buy" a certain product on their site. Once verified, they supposedly will refund your money, plus a commission. They say that it lets the merchant see that their product is visible on the website. On August 30, 2026 I signed up for this and went through the tasks. We had a prepaid task for $98. I knew I couldn't afford to lose it, but I paid my $98. Of course, they insist that you complete all 8 tasks before they can refund your money. The 8th task was another Prepaid Task for $380. I didn't have the money and had no way to get it until my Social Security check came in. I got it today and was so excited to complete the final task and get my money. I contacted Administration and they walked me through, step by step, until we got to the part where I actually had to pay for the product. They gave me 3 instructions at once and included a tiny screenshot with arrows drawn on it. I followed the instructions as best as I could, but when I submitted it, they asked why I only purchased one product. I said I didn't see anywhere that said how many to purchase. When blowing up the screenshot, I finally found a tiny box under the tip of one of the arrows that showed quantity of 2. I was told I had caused a very serious problem. I expected them to say that I would not be hired and then keep my money. However, while we were waiting for the transaction to be verified, "the merchant said they want the other task completed also". That task was for $1280.00. I had already told them that they had wiped out my bank account and that I could not pay anything more, because I had finally realized that every time I gave them money, something was wrong and I had to give them even more money to "fix" the problem. I have been messaging back and forth for quite a while, but they insist on keeping the money until I complete the latest task.

I received an unsolicited postal mailer dated September 8, 2026 from “Motor Vehicle Services” concerning a 2024 Nissan Altima. It listed Nissan of Thousand Oaks as the “Suggested Service Location” and used “IMMEDIATE ACTION REQUESTED,” “FINAL ATTEMPT TO NOTIFY YOU,” and a seven-day deadline. It included a check-like “Allocated Waiver $199.00.” The fine print states that the waiver can be redeemed only by activating new coverage, that the sender is not affiliated with the dealership or manufacturer, and that it is not a check. The mailer gave no legal company name, mailing address, website, provider or administrator identity, license number, existing contract number, coverage terms, or actual warranty expiration date. The only contact information was 1-888-***-3196. I did not call the number, provide information, or pay money.

Online Purchase

I paid US Car-Go Freight Logistics LLC $258 upfront to arrange transportation of my vehicle. The company quoted a total transportation price of $1,000 and scheduled the vehicle for pickup, but no motor carrier/driver was ever assigned. The vehicle was never picked up or transported, and I received none of the transportation service for which I paid. I contacted the company numerous times while waiting for transportation and was repeatedly assured that a driver/carrier would be assigned and that the vehicle would be picked up. This never happened. After the company failed to provide the service, I requested a refund. I was repeatedly told that the refund would be issued, but the $258 was never returned. I contacted the company again on September 14, 2026. The representative I spoke with refused to provide his full name when I asked for it. Rather than having the company issue the refund it had previously promised, he told me to contact my bank and get the money back through my bank. I found this extremely concerning because the company had accepted my payment, provided no transportation service, and had already represented to me that it would refund the money. My concern is that consumers may be attracted by low transportation quotes and asked to pay money upfront before an actual carrier has been secured. In my case, the company collected my payment, never assigned a carrier, repeatedly assured me that transportation would occur, provided no service, promised a refund that never arrived, and ultimately directed me to recover the money from my bank instead. I have since seen numerous other consumer complaints alleging similar experiences involving upfront deposits, low initial quotes, failure or difficulty securing drivers, price changes, and/or refunds consumers say were promised but not received. I believe regulators should determine whether these complaints represent a broader pattern of deceptive business practices. I have reported my experience to the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration, the Federal Trade Commission, and the Florida Attorney General, and I have opened a dispute with my bank.

Gov website for passport renewal status and it never showed that they had received my information. Several emails to [email protected] and an attempted phone call received no response at all. Checking for status on the Entry website was a frustrating circular nightmare that only led to a canned statement of "We're on it!"

Online Purchase - RebeccaJohnsonFamily

I went to buy a Bernese mountain dog puppy that was listed as 650$ to adopt. I was told I’d have to pay 500$ as a deposit and then 350$ once I picked him up for a total off of 850$( the extra money was for “delivery”). The morning I was supposed to pick him up they sent me a message saying I would need to spend an extra 700$ for a climate controlled crate for the dog to be able to fly. No such thing exists and I immediately realized what was happening and I couldn’t believe it. Then a different number who I was told was the “shipper” then sent me a picture of a slightly different dog than the one I was supposed to get. I called them out on it and the fake shipper stopped replying. The fake breeder however started getting aggressive and acting like I was crazy. He finally answered the phone and the accent seemed to be that of an English man. Nothing he said made sense and it was obvious it was a scam. He then sent me what I can only assume is someone’s real or fake drivers lisence that he stole which proves nothing. He also sent a breeding chart thing which again proves nothing. We also ended up reverse image searching the dog we were supposed to get named Theo who was a boy and found out that it’s actually stolen pictures from a girl on TikTok and “THEO” was actually a girl dog…I hope this report reaches the right people so no one else falls victim to this scam.

The price of the nebulizer was 25.99 with free shipping. Not only was I charged 25.99, they added on the 9.99 anyways and again charged 9.99 for the insurance. I called the number listed when I was over charged and they said they would reemburse my money, they never did. I contacted my back they reversed the charges to me. Then 4 days later I was charged another 39.99 from same company and I never recieved any products. I have to cancel my card and get a new one. This has caused me over 113.00 dollars and the headache of notifiying all the companies that I have set up direct pay with.

Counterfeit Product - Marlow Market, UniUni

I ordered a Homemade Harvest Autumn Wreath from the Marlow Market website that was described as homemade by a 74 yr old and her granddaughter in Stowe VT in their "garden shed' using "maple leaves pressed at peak color" and "wild rosehips from the old stone wall gathered on Ruth's own land and wired by hand to a bent cedar base" I received an email that the wreath had been delivered by a delivery service UniUni who provided 2 "delivery confirmation" photos. One photo was a house number address completely different from mine, and the other photo of a pkg in a location on a "front porch" that looked nothing like a front porch. When I responded back to the email from Marlow Market stating I did not receive the wreath and it had been delivered to the wrong address, and communicated with a "chat box" with UniUni both of them said to " check with my neighbors " to see if it had been delivered to them, and that the package had been delivered to the correct address despite the clear difference in the house address numbers. Apparently it was delivered to someone over a mile away from me because he was honest enough to bring me the package this morning stating it had been delivered to his home by mistake. When I opened the pkg there was a very cheaply made plastic flower and leaf wreath on a cheap plastic base that I could have purchased this cheaply made wreath at Dollar Tree for $3 and was nothing like the 'home made" wreath I had ordered for $49.99. The return address on the package was UniUni From:Dept Contact: 5353 W Imperial Hwy. STE 200/300.

Retail Business - Elite Towing Denver

This towing company took my truck back to their location on 7070 smith rd, my neighbor reported me which was fair I did park in the wrong spot. They towed my truck at 4:31pm on a Sunday and never notified me. I woke up at 6:00am the next morning to no vehicle and no notification as to where it was. When I went to pick it up from the location they had me sign off on the receipt and did not give me an itemized copy until I had already paid. They charged me $75 for notifying me and $100 for an overnight fee. Well no notification was sent to me which is why it stayed there overnight. When I tried to explain this to them they told me Colorado requires them to send a notification by mail after it being on their property for 8 hours. When I stated that if they had notified me before that I would have been able to come pick it up and sending me a notification after already picking up my vehicle and paying for it does me no good. The woman kept repeating that Colorado law requires them to notify someone after it has been on their property for 8 hours. When I responded with a “okay so you did this intentionally to charge me more money” she had no response. Again I understand I parked in the incorrect parking spot so I understand I have to pay the fee for that. However going out of your way to wait 8 hours before notifying me and notifying me by mail besides and then charging me an overnight fee without notifying me or giving me an insight as to where my vehicle is. This is shameful and obviously trying to get more money out of someone. This company is a complete and utter joke and they should all be ashamed of themselves. Awful company.

The site offers a trial and if you cancel, it won't charge. well, I cancelled and it charged anyways and I didn't discover it until it attemtpted to renew the subsription again just recently but there the charge didn't go through because that card isn't active and I received an alert. I contacted the comapny and offered a remedy. either (a) refund the amount or (b) offer me one year of service whereI'm aware of the service being avaiulable., they are saying well you had a year of service, but I never used it because I cancellled it. When I went to cancel it after they attempted the renewal, the process it took showed me that they have fradulent practices geared to make you think you are cacnelling when you are not and blocked packe3d and buttons that don';t click. eventually it worked, but I assume that the excuse they'll make is that i didn't properly click the left box 9 times or somethung crazy. it took 10 minutes of clicking and refreshing before being able to cancel the recent time. I guess I thought I cleared it during the trail to cancel, but they confuigred it in a way to make me think so and charged me anyways. i didn't notice the charge becau7se I cahrged a lot that month on other things and didn't look at my statement. when i offered the remedies, they refused to acknloedge what took place refused the refund and didn't acknlowedge the rememedy offer of a free year of sergvice whichj i would have accepted. i have dyslexia. sorry for the typos

There was an listing for a steam deck on offer up. We agreed on a price of $400, then he said he would send me a video of the device and we needed to use Discord to continue. He sent the video on discord and then asked to use apple pay to send the money and he will ship. After sending him the money He said there was a problem with Fedex and he needed an extra $100 to ship and he will use another carrier. I sent him the $100 dollars then he sent me the tracking info for Logitrack, I checked the tracking info and logitrack says the package is on hold and I need to pay another $125 for a shipping fee tax and will get 80% back after delivery.

Advance Fee Loan - Advance Fee Loan - Business Funding Scam

I was contacted by Matthew Zion at Sure fund funding about a 2 phase business loan. Phase 1 had the option to receive in total $15000 paid out in increments. $1500 day 1, make 22 successful payments, funded $2500, 22 more payments, funded $3500, 22 more funded $3750. This would complete phase 1. I did it, received 2 payments $1500 and $2500. In the paperwork, there was a notice of pre-payment. About 33 days in, Matthew contacted me with a reminder of the pre-payment option. Said if I were to pay the balance of the $15,000 it would get me to phase 2 faster. My balance was $11,055, which was wired to the company. Phase 2 is a long term loan, which is the reason I did it to begin with. I got emails and a payment schedule for $290,000. The day it was to be wired, I got excuses from Matthew. The next day, I contacted my bank, and they said they would need a trace number for the wire to watch for it. I let Matthew know this at about 9am, he said give him an hour and he would update me. Didn't hear back, emailed him and he responded, that mine was the next wire they were sending. Didn't hear back for 2 more hours. Emailed him and he said, he was getting a trace number. Then I never heard from him again. I received a total of $4,000, they debited 33 payments of $285 ($9,405), debited an origination fee of $3,750, and the wire I sent for $11,055.

Home Improvement - Apex Window Cleaning

I located this window-cleaning business on Nextdoor.com and called to discuss the work needed and the price. I was quoted $200 for complete exterior cleaning of all windows, including removing and washing the screens and cleaning the tracks of all windows. The man I spoke with identified himself as Malachi McConnell of Apex Window Cleaning. The online information for the business stated that it carried $1 million in liability insurance. We agreed on a date and time for the work. However, Mr. McConnell arrived a day earlier than scheduled and then rescheduled the appointment because he believed it might rain. When we discussed the rescheduled appointment, he gave me a 9:00 a.m. arrival time. I explained that I had a doctor's appointment and asked if he could come at 10:30 a.m. instead. Despite that conversation, Mr. McConnell apparently arrived at my home at approximately 9:00 a.m. and called me while I was at the doctor's office. I reminded him of our conversation and told him I would return home as soon as possible. He said he would wait and begin the work. Although there had already been some confusion about the scheduling, I expected that the agreed-upon work would be completed that day, September 14, 2026. Mr. McConnell worked for more than two hours. During this time, I noticed that the window tracks did not appear to be cleaned, so I asked him about them. He said he had done the best he could and did not provide any further explanation. He eventually told me he was finished and asked whether I would pay by cash or check. He presented me with a handwritten receipt with a business card stapled to it. I paid him $200 in cash. After he left, I gathered my cleaning supplies and began cleaning the interior of the windows myself. As I removed the screens, I realized that they had not been removed or cleaned. There was clearly visible grime on the screen frames. The window tracks were still heavily contaminated with insects, debris, and dirt, and I saw no evidence that they had been washed. As I cleaned the interiors of multiple windows, I also discovered that many of the exterior surfaces were smeared or appeared not to have been cleaned at all. In several cases, I was able to easily wipe away substantial amounts of dirt and grime myself. Based on what I observed, it appeared that much of the work I had paid for had not been performed. I was extremely upset. As a disabled senior woman, I have previously experienced situations in which hired workers took advantage of me, but I found the extent of the apparent lack of work in this case particularly disturbing. I called Mr. McConnell and mentioned one window in particular: a second-floor bedroom window located above the garage. I politely suggested that perhaps he had overlooked that window. He immediately disagreed and stated that he had cleaned it, claiming that the window itself was "messed up." I asked whether he would be willing to return and clean that window. He reluctantly agreed to return in approximately an hour. While waiting, I carefully inspected the other windows. I found that nearly every window appeared to have been left either completely untouched or inadequately cleaned. In several locations, debris was still accumulated behind the screens. This made it apparent to me that the screens had not been removed, much less washed, and that the window tracks had not been cleaned as we had agreed. When Mr. McConnell returned, I went outside as he was removing the ladder from his vehicle and positioning it. I told him that I was very unhappy with the work. I offered him the option of refunding half of the $200 I had paid, in which case he would not have to perform any additional work. Mr. McConnell responded by folding his ladder and saying, "I'm not refunding ANY of your ******* money!" I was stunned by his response. I asked whether he had ever heard of the Better Business Bureau or social media reviews. He laughed and yelled, "Well this isn't even a ******* company so there! Ha-ha-ha!" At that point, I became frightened. I told him, "Okay, just go. I can't believe you're doing this." Instead of leaving immediately, he continued yelling and swearing. He accused me of costing him hundreds of dollars because I had "cancelled on him." Again, the scheduling problems had resulted because of his arriving at 9:00 a.m. after I had specifically requested 10:30 a.m. I was increasingly frightened, so I quickly went inside my home. I was shaking and very upset. I then called Crime Check to report what had occurred.

We hired a contractor to build a deck. After taking $24,500 as a 50% deposit, he began, but did minimal work. Then we received multiple excuses, finally with no follow up. We found a complaint on Yelp where the same individual /contractor did the same thing to another consumed. We sent the contractor a notice of default and a demand for a "cure" of the default. He responded via text that he’d review everything “at his earliest convenience." That was six weeks ago; we’ve heard nothing since, which is effectively what he did to the other individual, too. We’ve hired an attorney, and plan to file a complaint in district court.

Counterfeit Product - The Wellness Wize

The video appeared to be done by Robert F Kennedy Jr of the US HHS who studied a solution to dementia after losing his father to the disease. June 6 I ordered Cognivex on credit card. My shipment took several weeks and when it arrived It was 3 bottles short. I called and requested the 3 bottles before starting the Cognivex. If they didn't arrive, I was going to send everything back, since it was satisfaction quaranteed or money back. After the 3 bottles came, I started the product. Followed the directions on the bottle, take 5 drops in 8 oz of water in the am. One week later use 10 drops in 8 oz water. In the mean time I received a text asking about using my tablets consistent. I don't have tablets but I was using it consistently. After 5-6 weeks I was not noticing any change or benefit but noticed staining on my teeth. I sent a text to say why I was not happy with the product and would like to return unused bottles for a refund. He said some people have to use it for 60-90 days to see results and use 10 drops in water am and pm. He told me the guarantee is only for 30 days. How can a satisfaction guarantee only be for 30 days if it takes 60-90 days to see any results? I have since seen bad reviews and wonder how I can get my money back. PS The phone number listed on the payment email is +40 (786) 299 184. Your system wouldn't accept the number, so I used the number they used to text.

Since then, my husband and I have both tried contacting the phone numbers listed on their website. Each time we speak with a representative, we are told a manager will call us back, and that they are unable to transfer us to a manager. This has been ongoing for 4 days now. At this point, when I get a phone call through to them, they hang up mid-conversation. I've looked further into their website, and all of their "Google reviews" are fake.

I ordered and it only allows you to set it up with a auto-delivery account. I thought I'll try it then cancel it before the 30 day trial to end the delivery. I cancelled the day before it was up yet I got charged. They said they already shipped it even though I didn't get a shipping notice til days later. I realized then it comes from China so I question the purity of the ingredients so won't ingest any more. I complained but they said it was too late. I asked them to confirm cancellation so I would not get more product yet the following month I was charged again though I did not receive product that month. They never reversed the charges so I called my credit card co to dispute. Just received a letter stating Rynse said there was no cancellation. So they now lied to Amex in order to bilk me out of 2 months.

After the purchase a "China Post" tracking number was supposedly generated and assigned to the package that was supposedly shipped to me. I waited the weeks for package to arrive, in the meantime the tracking information kept populating the different location of the package as it's traveling from point A to point B. Eventually it shows that package is 'out for delivery ' and then package 'delivered'. However, no package arrived or was delivered on the date provided. I know the info was a lie because on said delivery date I was at home (due to mobility issues and chronic illness I'm mostly home bound). The 2nd reason is the active camera surveillance at my property that records all property access 24/7 and their record of delivery is not supported by the recorded video evidence. When the company is contacted via email (the only available contact method), They reference the FRAUDULENT tracking info to substantiate that product(s) are delivered. They refuse to resend the missing items and to willingly refund the amount paid.

Do research on these pop-up ads before using your credit cards. People need to be made aware of these scams as much as possible so I hope this will help.

Ad on Facebook featuring an engineer employed by Elon Musks company. He told about his mother who was making a very small income on a platform that provided human input to ai companies. This particular platform was selling her input for. $14.99 and paying her .99 per task And keeping $14.00 for them selves. He decided, after much research, that he could design a system that would allow his mother and others to do these simple human input tasks and receive the total amount paid for each task by direct deposit rather than going through a third party company and only receiving a small portion of what the ai companies were paying this third party company for these human input tasks. Thus the birth of Athenasystemai. To gain access to this new Inovative platform, at the basic level, would be $147.00 and that would give you a 10 task limit per 24 hours. For an additional $147.00, you get up to 20 tasks per 24 hours, and then for an additional $267.00, You get up to 30 tasks per 24 hours. As you perform each task, the amount that you earn is calculated and displayed on the platform. At the ultra vip level you can request a withdrawal of your earnings when the total reaches $30,000

Well I opted to try out this program so that I could make money on the side. It made it sound super easy but not for a 70-year-old and didn't realize I had to have a lot of knowledge. After giving the program a shot and using it quite a bit, I found out that I was going to get way over my head with all the things I needed to learn before I could even start. The refund policy said that they would take a look at it and then decide from there but apparently being honest and upfront about what problems I was having just didn't make a difference. Going around and around with an empty email, brain-dead representative from Finestro. Don't necessarily know if I would call them scammers but they sure are liars.

While researching for replacement parts for a LOVEVERY toy I have, this website came up. The prices were really, really low for these high quality products. There were also full play kits which I have purchased through a subscription that are advertised as a fraction of the cost. When I went to checkout for the 3 wooden pegs that I was looking for, I noticed that the shipping was “free” if purchased “today” to increase urgency to buy. With the price being so low and the shipping free, this seemed “too good to be true” so I started doing a little research and found that there are numerous fraudulent websites that try to capitalize on parents trying to find replacement parts for some of these toys. I did not purchase and instead looked into reporting this scam.

I told him I was confused & didn't understand why someone from BBB would be talking about this. I said I needed to go, but he became a bit agitated.

This is merely the title of the product you ordered and does not represent all the products or attributes you actually ordered."

I was trying to buy a camera off of this girl named Manuela Izzy, I sent her a message and we had talked about the price being 150 and so after I got my paycheck she had given me her Zelle information which was by the name of "Shanae Jackson" with the email "[email protected]" I sent it and she said she didn't receive it, a few minutes after I had got a text from this number "909-769-8194" saying "Zelle: For your protection, your $150 payment to Shanae Jackson was refunded. You'll receive it in the next 24hrs" and so I had told her and so I tried to send it again and she said she still didn't receive it, so she recommended I sent it to her chime which was "$Briege-Lottinger" and it had sent through there and she said she received it, but I was also trying to get my money back from Zelle and she started stating that her Zelle account was actually her cousins and that it was on hold, and when I had asked for the 150 back on chime she blocked me.

I saw the advertisement several times while accessing several google play apps. I followed the link to the website and ordered the items of interest. After the purchase a "China Post" tracking number was supposedly assigned to the package that was supposedly shipped to me. I waited the weeks for package to arrive, in the meantime the tracking information kept populating the different location of the package as it's traveling from point A to point B. Eventually it shows that package is 'out for delivery ' and then package 'delivered'. However, no package arrived or was delivered on the date provided. I know the info was a lie because on said delivery date I was at home (due to mobility issues and chronic illness I'm mostly home bound). The 2nd reason is the active camera surveillance at my property that records all property access 24/7 and their record of delivery is not supported by the recorded video evidence. When the company is contacted via email (the only available contact method), They reference the FRAUDULENT tracking info to substantiate that product(s) are delivered. They refuse to resend the missing items and to willingly refund the amount paid.

Home Improvement - techhomesolutions

I had a leak in my roof that I wanted to get repaired. I had 4 or 5 bids from roofer companies, but they did not want to patch my roof and advised that I needed a total roof replacement. The last bid I received was from Techhomesolutions/Sean for $800 to patch on June 9, 2026. Work started on June 18,2026 when I was informed dry rot was discovered after initial tear off and the price was $19,000.00 to replace dry rot on several parts of my roof, as more dry rot was uncovered I was informed the whole roof needed to be replaced and would cost $32,000. I have pictures of the dry rot and by that time the entire roof had been removed, therefore I had no choice but to continue with the roof replacement. The company did not accept credit card as payment, checks or cash only. As the project proceeded I wrote 5 or 6 personal checks for various amounts under $5000 to Patrick Al Bhaird (owner of company). The project was completed July 6, 2026 and all looked great. It rained for the first time September 12, on September 13, I discovered a puddle on the kitchen floor leaking from the same spot. I tried to call the roofer and discovered the phone number no longer works. I looked up the roofer company online and found no other contact information.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Walmart Imposter - Fake Account Alert - Phishing Scam

So the person left me a voicemail saying that they wanted to verify if I authorized a purchase from 2 Walmart accounts. I called them back to inquire and let them know that I don't have any Walmart accounts. Then, I was told that a verification code was sent to me to authorize the purchase of a computer. That of course did not happen. The person also gave me two addresses that I've never lived at. Then, proceeded to insinuate that I authorized the charge. When I asked what account would be charged, and how was the purchase going to be paid? He just kept saying, "your account". When I asked "what account", he got frustrated and hung up. I'm already been going through a battle for years behind one scam. I will not again, nor do I want anyone else to get caught in these schemes. There should be stiff laws against this madness.

I was later contacted regarding the shipment and told that additional payments were required before the package could be delivered. The additional payment demands made me suspicious. I never received the product I paid for. I contacted the seller and requested a refund of my $110, but I have not received a refund. I have retained screenshots of the communications, payment confirmation, shipping communications, additional payment demands, and my request for a refund.

I was called by Davis Harmon. They said that they were trying to collect a debt from fifth third bank. I asked them if they could prove my debt with previous documentation, previous payments that I had made with the dates. They could not provide anything like that. I told them I would like that information so that I can match it up with the information that I have. They refuse to provide me with any information besides that I owe them $6000 and that I should pay and I need to pay $5000 or else they are going to take me to court. So I told them go ahead and take me to court and escalate this that's perfectly fine. Because it's a debt collector cannot provide the original debt and the original payments that I've made with dates then they are not legally operating correctly and 99% of the time it's going to be a scam The lady on the phone then hung up on me... that's what I knew.

Employment

Someone approached me by phone. Claiming to be a company that was looking for employees. They claimed they got my information from indeed, witch is a job matching company online a lot of people use this company for employment. So when they approach me, they said they got my name and information from indeed, they wanted to offer me a job that I may be compatible with from my background of employment. Then she went on to tell me about the job, which sounded amazing! Work from home only 1-3 hrs a day and could take off any day that was needed for personal. Which was exactly what I was looking for in hopes to be able to be more at home and present with my 15-year-old autistic son. She than ask me would I be willing to do a trial run so that they could show me what the job was to make sure I was qualified and able to complete the task. Basically it was a training to see if I would be interested in being hired. Of course I do the training. Which all looked legit. I singed in to create my own desktop account on their website. This is so you can log in everyday to complete your work. Well to be honest it all was going really good up until day three is when I started getting cautious. I brought this up to my trainer several times at that point. There sister is set up by what you would call levels as you complete your days work you earn commission off of every order you submit, plus they pay you a salary on top of that. But what they don’t tell you is it’s all a trap to get people sucked in to it than they hit you with what is called a joint order. This is how they say these work, they tell you congratulations you got lucky by getting this order because supposedly you make 20% commission of what ever the order is valued at. But this is a total trap! When this dk called joint order comes in it ends up making you short a certain amount of dollars, if you do not put in this amount of money and pay it to complete your order well then you lose all your money that you have in there whatever that amount is. They get you also by a so called system they have in place where as you make more in commissions than including your salary they up level you to where your required to put that amount in every day you log in to start work! But they will push you to these levels so that you don’t have a choice in the matter, you have to put in whatever amount they’ve pushed you to to continue working then,At first it starts out at small amounts, than on day 5 they push you up to a big amount than hit you with back to back joint orders! Hoping people can’t fulfill those orders so then they can claim to be getting complaints by the merchant that you’re placing the order for than what they do is they so-called lock up your account and once that’s done all your money is gone they refuse to give you even a penny back of what you put in or of what you’ve made through them. I felt that this was a scam to start with, and I kept questioning the woman that hired me and kept bringing up this concern to her well they say on your fifth day you get your first paycheck of $800 plus all the commission you’ve made but what they don’t tell you is on that day. They are gonna give you a bonus check of whatever amount plus you have to have X amount of dollars to login to get your account going. This all depends on whatever level you’re at and whatever requirement of that amount you need in your account to start your days work. Well, once you enter that amount and put it in, they hit you with the check they supposedly owe you, on top of that, They’re gonna give you a supposed bonus check of X amount of dollars which this is going to make there system level you up to whatever level. you would be required to have that amount every day to start your work. Each day your required to complete 3 task of orders, witch each level has it own requirements to meet. As you’re doing the orders for that day, they are gonna hit you with what’s called the joint order. For example mine was a joint order of almost $900. Well I paid that order only to turn around to be hit with another joint orders. For example I had to put 500$ in for that day to start my work. They than turn around & gave me my 800$ check for that day. Than I got a so called lucky bonus of 1500. This made my account go into a level 5. I start my orders for the first round and get hit with the first joint order I pay it than two orders after that they hit me with another so called joint order of almost 3000$ which I could not pay so they end up penalizing you saying that the merchant is making complaints against you because you’re not able to place the order! So than they lock your account up from you which means they take all the money that you have put in your account including your check, your bonuses and all money you’ve made from commissions. They take every penny of it. You can’t get nothing back out of your account! They’re scamming people pretending to be this amazing job, until they push you up levels and hit you with these so called joint orders that new people can’t compete! Only a rich person could perform this work! But this whole platform is a scam someone needs to stand up for all those who have lost money to these people and for indeed for giving my information to these fake jobs! This is not a real job in any way shape or form this company is a scam. Please do not let them talk you into letting you think that you’re gonna make these big high amounts because it may start out fine in the beginning, but they will end up getting you one way or another please be cautious if you’re ever approached by a company like this that tells you you need to put in your own money in to work for them. I hope and pray something is done about this company and somebody goes after them for all the money, they have scammed off of people and made off of other peoples hard earned money!

I have been receiving calls for someone, not myself, on my business cell phone from different phone numbers for a couple years now. They don't usually identify who they are, but say they are serving legal documents. Well, I called them out and told them they needed to contact the Sheriff's Office or a process server to serve legal documents. I asked them for the case number and they give me some number that is not a cause number. Now when they call they continue to tell me that they cannot give me the cause number or what court the case is filed in. I told them it is public record. They refuse to elaborate what it's about and try to bully me on the phone. I did get the address that is listed here with the BBB. I did call them to ask the nature of their business and address etc. Davis and Associates, 299 Broadway, Ste. 1701, NY, NY, 10007. I returned their calls to (575) 210-8904. I started being more direct with them and was transferred a few times to a lady, no name given. They have started hanging up on me when I call with questions that they should be able to answer as a legitimate business. Now when I call the number doesn't ring and simply says the number does not exist. Calls are differing times and are a bit random, week days and sometimes weekends. Today is Monday September fourteenth, two thousand twenty-six. Calls began at 8:16 AM today. I hope they keep an eye on themselves and read what is filed with the BBB and hopefully stop calling me.

I received a video call from a person calling himself Anthony Dawson, I did not answer and attempted the Gmail attached and it was not valid so I video called back without my face being seen. I will make a long story short he told me he was from PCH and I had won 7.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz. I was given the following information: *Anthony Dawson *Pkg# 8904196 *Check # 020485 *Prize 7.5 million in a cashier's check *$10k today & another $10k for the next two months from. Amazon *Ask if I had an Amazon card or would I purchase one. *Would I put $500 on ithe Amazon card and when I got the $10k give it the representative upon getting the check? *He had my address and stated the representative with the check was 2 hours away and I would get the car at the same time. I politely let him know that I shouldn't have to do that if everything was legal and I could take the check to my bank, they would let me know if the check was legit, and where I bank and having to put out money should not be in the equation. I repeated it and I guess he heard I wasn't falling for his game and he hung up. I didn't give him any of my information. The email address he used was [email protected] which isn't a valid email address.

After doing more than half the job we paid $3000. Remaining balance was 500. We demanded to be paid before the work was complete. They did not complete the work, only did the specified work on half of the patio and missed a large portion of the path in the front of the house. Have not applied sealer or silica sand between the cracks as promised. Have not applied sealer and quickset concrete. Have not returned Calls for more than a week.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Fake Home Warranty Expiration Notice - Phishing Scam

I received a mailed notice dated August 20, 2026 that appeared to be connected to my mortgage lender, United Nations Federal Credit Union. The letter prominently stated “FINAL NOTICE,” “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUIRED,” and “Secured By: UNITED NATIONS FCU – PLEASE CALL TO VERIFY.” It stated that my home warranty may have expired, that I could become financially responsible for repairs, and that based on my mortgage lender’s requirements I might be required to maintain a home warranty. Only in small print at the very bottom of the letter did it state: “We are not affiliated with UNITED NATIONS FCU.” Because of the way the notice was presented, I believed this was an important matter related to my mortgage/property and called the telephone number provided on September 4. During the call, the representatives told me that I needed home-warranty coverage and explained how it differed from the HO-6 condo insurance I already had. They discussed discounts or waivers and engaged me in a lengthy sales conversation that made the service appear legitimate and necessary. I was then transferred to another representative who collected my banking information and also asked for the last four digits of my credit card. On September 6, a $100 debit was taken from my checking account. I believe this payment resulted from the information I provided during that call. I did provide my banking information, but I did so after being induced by what I now believe was a misleading solicitation that gave the impression of being associated with or required by my mortgage lender. After realizing what had happened, I attempted to cancel the service. The company has been difficult to reach: the customer-service number directed me to an automated/AI system that took my telephone number and said someone would call me back. I am concerned about additional debits or recurring payments.

Retail Business

I operate an independent RV inspection business. A customer hired me to inspect an RV advertised for sale by a business identifying itself as “Rudolph Trailer Fulton,” located at 600 Stephen Beale Dr., Fulton, Kentucky 42041. When attempting to perform the inspection, I determined that the advertised dealership did not exist at the represented location. The address is associated with Ferry-Morse Seed Company rather than an RV dealership. I have since received a separate inquiry from another prospective RV buyer involving the same supposed dealership, indicating that additional consumers are being directed to this website. The website is: https://rudolphtrailerfulton.com/ The site lists the following information: Business: Rudolph Trailer Fulton Address: 600 Stephen Beale Dr., Fulton, KY 42041 Phone: (270) 240-9334 Email: [email protected] Bond Number: CO 13069 Company Registration Number: 20211929794 Formation Date: 10/07/2015 The website also requires purchasers to submit full payment by bank wire before delivery of an RV and states that the company's own financial department will hold the customer's funds “in trust.” Additional research shows that the same bond number, company registration number, and formation date are being displayed by numerous unrelated vehicle and equipment sales websites operating under different names and addresses around the United States. A BBB Scam Tracker report concerning another purported dealership has also documented this same set of credentials as part of an apparently fraudulent dealership website. I am submitting this information because I am concerned that consumers may be induced to wire substantial sums of money for RVs represented as being located at a dealership that does not appear to exist at the advertised address. I can provide information regarding the attempted inspection and additional supporting documentation if needed.

"I am sorry that you still do not accept our proposal; there is no need to file a complaint with the Better Business Bureau, as we can resolve this matter through negotiation. If you were to request a full refund, you would need to return the package to an overseas warehouse capable of accepting returns, which would not be cost-effective. As a valued customer, we want to do our best to ensure your satisfaction.

The letter was designed to look like an official government document. It listed my business name (IYBMSB LLC), my mailing address, and my Texas Entity ID (32107952171) — information taken from my public Secretary of State filing — along with a "Notice Date Sent" of 2026-09-08 and a "Please Respond By" date of 2026-09-22 to create urgency. It asked me to pay $92.25 for a "Certificate of Status," $97.25 for "State & Federal Labor Law Posters," or $167.00 for both. The Texas Secretary of State charges only $15 for the equivalent document (Certificate of Fact – Status), and required labor law posters are available free from the Texas Workforce Commission and the U.S. Department of Labor. The letter is not from any government agency and does not appear to prominently disclose that fact. I did not pay.

Online Purchase - Arthur Hendon

Ordered a product until a realized it was a dropshipping front for a low quality amazon product. I told them to cancel my order hours after ordering. They didn't even bother to respond, and continued to ship my product the next day despite multiple attempts to cancel. Their policy states you may cancel before shipping. I pointed this out, and they still refused to refund me and continued to ship the product even tho it hadn't technically been shipped. They asked for screenshots of their own policy stating this, which is odd, you should know your own policy. The scam site uses fake reviews, and says 4.8 average rating with over 22,000 reviews, hand inspected product, with fake AI-generated imagery of their products with fake AI-generated packaging. It's all a lie. If you go to their shop page where they cannot curate reviews, they have an average rating of 1.9, and almost every review points out the same scam, poor quality clothes, doesn't match the description. Customer support uses a fake name and just sends AI-powered messaging.

Ordered a three pack. Itch free for dogs. By checkout they charged me for 2 three packs at $117 each. Both separate charges instead of one charge. Called the company within an hour and they tried to get me to take a 35% credit to their company instead of the full $117, when I express to them it had only been an hour and what made them think I would just give them that money, then they wanted to know if I would take 50% and I said no. Then they offered to sell me other products or a company credit. I said no. I just wanted the money for the additional three pack they charged me. They put me on hold for 5 minutes or so and when they come back they said okay. They were going to withdraw one of the $117 payments from my credit card. When I got off the phone with them I immediately called the credit card company and they did indeed withdrawal $117 payment and 2 weeks later the product came in the mail and there was 2 three pack items in it, have checked my credit card and so far have not been charged for the other $117. So I'm not real sure what's going to happen going forwards from here. Given what I have learned and experience with this company. I would say not to do business with them. Very sketchy

Placed an order with Pillow-Haven. I only wanted 2 pillows, but when I checked out I had been charged for 4 pillows. I used my health insurance HSA debit card as they accepted the health related issue. However, upon my desire to return the 2 pillow and receive my money back Pillow-Haven does not comply. I have emailed the contact number on their returns webpage and receive an automated AI generated response to purchase more product at a discount. After not resolving the issue I sent the pillows back to the address listed on the returns page. Unfortunately, I haven’t received any acknowledgment or refund for the return. Not only is this poor customer service, but they are violating their own policy, and by only having AI supported responses don’t allow a customer to successfully place a return.

Called this Alex towing company when our car broke down on the road. We found it listed as 24 hour towing company along with local companies on google. They requested half payment upfront which was provided by credit card, with them saying they would come in 30-50 mins Much more time passed, with a call saying it would be 100 dollars more because the tow truck had a long trip to us! They described themselves as an online dispatch. We became suspicious, checked further and found them with bbb scam tracker reports! They kept us on hold putting off speaking to the dispatcher. We texted cancellation, and carefully got a local company. An hour or two later i got a notification there was a hard inquiry into my credit report and noticed a charge for validation on my transactions.

This (https://quesstnutrrition.it.com/) was the first website that popped up on google, under the “sponsored” motif. The website itself looks fine, clean, and works well. What tipped me off was the discount. It mentioned that the entire store was on an end of summer sale -20% off, yet prices were even lower than that. Mostly around 75% off. When looking around the website for contact information, I could only find a submission link. No listed email nor phone number.

While scrolling the Google feed an article showed a man named Amos Hensley that carved “wood spirit”birdhouses out of wood. It stated He was now retiring his craft related to arthritis and only 17 of his “handcrafted”birdhouses were left to buy. It showed pictures of him carving, gave detailed description of the birdhouses (carved from wood, measurements etc). On September 2 I bought 2 of them for gifts. The site said delivery in “2-3 days”. I did not receive them until September 12. They were only shipped In packaging, and 2 cheap boxes inside. The birdhouses are NOT wood, they are PLASTIC!! They are only 6” high. I immediately looked at the refund policy and sent a detailed email to “[email protected]”as instructed. I decided to try and find reviews of the company and then realized it was a very sophisticated scam site. I went back and looked at my order and started noticing the pictures were AI, even the people review pictures were AI (sizes didn’t match etc). I immediately started the BBB complaint and read other peoples BBB reports on this company. I now assume I can say goodbye to my $82.40 I paid for the fake birdhouses…

I ordered a product that was advertised as a 5-in-1 hair tool for $49.95. The next morning, I noticed two charges on my account — $49.95 and $39.95. I immediately reached out to customer service to ask why. I was told that two of the components were billed separately, but that everything would arrive together in the same box. But it was advertised as $49.95 5 in 1. Because this was never stated anywhere during checkout, I went back through the entire ordering process step-by-step to confirm I hadn’t missed anything, which I hadn’t. I took screenshots of every page and sent them to the company. In response, they sent me screenshots of pages and information I could not locate anywhere on their website. When I questioned this, the only explanation I received was, “We understand this can be frustrating .....” The product itself is made of cheap material, and the business practices are deceptive. They should not be allowed to continue operating in this manner. The reviews for this company are overwhelmingly negative and the few positive ones appear questionable at best.

This company has a lot of complaints about charging people for products they don't order, NOT returning money or products and they say you can get your money back, then they don't do it and they say you keeo the product sinc e it was already shipped but they can not return the money which makes no sense. Also, they say they will reply to you in 24 hours but it could take up to 4 days to get a reply. Lastly, if their customer service sucks as this, I don't want to imagine the poor quality of the product. They even say their products "won't make a difference in the pet's health for the first 3 to 4 weeks, you will only see results after first month" Now I know is part of the whole scam so they can do what they do with their customers In my case, they replied August 15th I didn't have any subscriptions and I had a screenshot from their website, nevertheless, on Sep 12Th I was charged again for the product, violating their supposedly NOT subscription open case. I did call the bank, cancelled the purchase, block the card and the merchant, but this has to go further I see on social media these people are now well known scammers, never reply to messages, double charge customers and in some case don't even send the products. I hope they can finally block their transactions and operations in the USA or at least banks get to know all this and stop any transactions to this merchant. Thank you for your time and to take into consideration this case

Counterfeit Product - Blood Pril, BuyGoods, Instituto Experience

I ordered 6 bottles of Blood Pril, represented to be endorsed by Dr. Gupta and Dr. Oz on TV. That was to be $294.00. as I finished that transaction a phone call came in asking if I wanted two additional bottles for $26.00. I said yes and the woman said that would be eight bottles total. I told her I had already completed my purchase for 6 bottles and only wanted the extra two and she said you cannot buy them separately. I said I don't want them then. I later found they were already charged on my card an additional $364.00. The ad continued with an additional product for removing visceral fat. called LipoFlow. No price was ever mentioned and no authorization given but 9 bottles were charged for an additional $261.00. Total of $941.00 was charged. On the labels of both Blood Pril and LipoFlow it says these products were manufactured by Instituto Experience of Lakeland Florida. The phone number given was (507) 448-8190.

Retail Business - Retail Business - Rogers *IMPOSTOR*

I rec'd a call from a person representing Rogers Communications. He told me I was eligible for a new phone and bc I've been a loyal customer I would get a 25% while he was my account manager over the 24 month contract. My current cell phone is paid off, so I am up for a new phone if I want to do so. He also said he was from marketing. My daughter's partner did door to door marketing for Rogers, so I thought it was plausible. He said I would be getting an Apple Air phone. He got me to go into my Rogers app select a new device. He said that they didn't have the phone in stock, so they would have to have it shipped from the warehouse. He then told me to select a Samsung phone and it would get switched out in the warehouse. The phone arrived the next day, and wouldn't you know it, it was the Samsung. He called to confirm I got the phone and told him it was the wrong one. He got me to go back onto my Rogers acct and initiate a phone return. He had me print out a shipping label and take a picture of it along with taking pictures of sides of the box that had the model, UPC, etc. He asked if I could send it right away so he could get the correct one sent back out. I know I should have listened to the little voice in my head that was skeptical. But, I didn't. I had lots of other things going on and I let my guard down. After I sent the phone back it was radio silent. I went back and looked at the return address at it was a house. So, at this time, I'm on the hook for the retail price of the phone. I urge anyone who has this type of offer to call Rogers before ordering anything. I decided to go the email address he gave me bc now I was realizing I was scammed.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam - Fake Delivery Information

I placed an online order with Modaverity.com on August 7, 2026, for a total of $52.16. I used Zip as the payment method while Zip paid the merchant the full purchase amount. I waited more than a month for my order. Modaverity provided tracking information, but the tracking eventually stated that the package had been delivered. The package was not delivered to me. I have security cameras around my property, and I reviewed the footage for the time the tracking information indicated delivery. There was no delivery to my property. I did not receive the merchandise. I contacted the merchant about the missing order and attempted to resolve the matter, but I have not received the merchandise or a full refund. I am also disputing the transaction with Zip. I was initially directed back to the merchant even though I had already attempted to resolve the issue with Modaverity. I have retained evidence including my order confirmation, payment information, tracking information showing the package as delivered, communications with the merchant, and security-camera footage showing that the package was not delivered. I am reporting this incident because the order was marked as delivered even though I never received it, and I am seeking a full refund of the $52.16 purchase amount. I am reporting this incident because I paid for merchandise that I never received, while the merchant's tracking information states that the package was delivered. I am requesting a full refund of $52.16 and an explanation/proof of where the merchant claims the package was actually delivered. I also want this incident documented so other consumers can be warned about my experience with Modaverity.com.

It’s gonna cost us much you need to do it and I asked why can’t you just fix it and protect it why do you have to move servers? it’s a bad domain ..also a year ago, Mohammed Waseem was contacting me about the tech for my website and I thought this was a guy that worked for Ryan Hanson, which isn’t unheard of and he would talk about Ryan and I would email Ryan and ask him about Waseem and he seemed to know him and then a few months ago they asked me to pay $265 for something else that I needed but pay on another PayPal because the other one’s not working so I was like well that’s kind of weird, but I did it and then he messaged me and said oh well that’s not working now so just pay it on the old one now and we’ll pay you back and I felt weird about it …so I do have a contract and it does say that rare teck owes me the $265 and also they owe me if my website isn’t working but they contacted me today and said the website is up and running and I said I told you I don’t want you to work for me! I don’t want this website. I want my money back. It’s been nothing but trouble. The website hasn’t been working all of a sudden today It’s working and on Facebook there are people saying that rare teck has done the same thing to them and it’s been this year that it’s been worse. This is the other email. [email protected]

They did not tell us in advance that we consequently did not qualify because of that. We sat through the presentation and felt that we were scammed or frauded because they did not fulfill their obligation.

Company is running a TOTAL SCAM. They have very compelling ads advertising very attractive merchandise at extremely discounted prices, but the merchandise received is the LOWEST QUALITY IMAGINABLE which NOBODY would EVER wear. Then there's their totally BOGUS return policy, in which they totally ignore multiple emails, REFUSE TO SUPPLY A RETURN ADDRESS, and then try to convince you to keep the total crap they sent by offering escalating discounts. If you still insist that you still want to return the trash they sent, they give you some overseas address that would cost you more to return the merchandise than you originally paid for it. I filed a dispute with my credit card company and hoping that will work, but NOBODY SHOULD EVER DO BUSINESS with this completely CORRUPT SHAM COMPANY.

The scammer managed to get their phishing email boosted via a librarian in South Carolina who posted it onto an official library email list. The librarian appeared to write an introduction for the scammer and then included the list of items the scammer likely provided for them. The post included a phone number and email address. I contacted the scammer via their phone number by texting them. I told them I wanted three of the items; they quoted me a shipping cost of $205. I signed up for Chime, an e-banking service, to send the money to them. After I paid, they asked if I wanted anything else. My wife picked out two other items and the scammer quoted me an extra $240 for those. I paid that as well. Afterward, the scammer told me I had to pay insurance. I agreed and asked for the cost. They quoted me $385. This was enough to convince me this likely wasn't real, so I asked some clarifying questions and the scammer got extremely impatient, claiming I was forcing a grieving widow to stay up too late to deal with this (these texts were at 7:40pm EST). When I finally told them to either send me a shipping invoice or refund me my money, they stopped responding. Their English was noticeably poor, and the Chime names they gave for the payments ($Ardis-Paleka-Wright and $Altin-Ademi) were significantly different from the name they gave as the widow (Tracy Bradley).

Employment - Employment Task - Commissions Scam

They text me claiming to have a remote job that your can make your own schedule for. They'll suck your in by allowing you to "keep" commission off of your training in your "work" account but make it short of the minimum required amount of $110 to "place orders" they set you up to do a set of 40 "tasks" which they claim they are placing an order, leaving a review, then automatically returning the amount of the order plus commission to your work account. You'll get "lucky orders" which means you'll get more commission but the order total will be for more than what's in your work account and you'll have to make a deposit to cover the order. They then tell you to message customer service with an address to pay the "merchant" which is actually their private account and to request a withdraw even though there's a withdraw button but it does nothing and you have to message customer service again to ask for a withdraw. They claim to have a"mystery bonus" which I "got" for 221k and immediately got another "lucky order which would be my 3rd "lucky order" and wanted me to deposit $850.96. I knew it was too good to be true right then and there. So I did some research and sure enough it is definitely a scam. So not fall for it. They are very convincing at first. I believed it until I went to make a second deposit and noticed the account address was the same but it's supposed to be going to 2 different merchants. They'll say you get get anymore than 3 lucky orders a month but what they don't tell you is your can get a "super order" costing several thousands over the 223k balance and your can't withdraw any of it without paying the amount over your balance. I didn't know anyone that can afford to pay 9k for a super order and they're hoping no one will. I completed 38 out of 40 tasks when I got the third lucky order and can guarantee I'd get a super order on tasks 39 or 40. One way or another they were going to make sure I'm not able to withdraw that money because your can't request a withdraw without finishing all 40 tasks.

I gave them the certified cheque. They did the roof but we think they only did cosmetics and not what is on the quote. After being suspicious we checked their company and the address on the invoice is an LCBO store only. Also a few thing caught our attention, there is no HST number on the invoice, the cheque had to be done to another company name with another adress, the contract has some contradictions with the warranty and they used a lot of pressure tactics.

We constantly receive spam emails from them. We needed an adapter and clicked on the link to the "UL-certified" adapter.

I attempted to use their 30-day return policy and it was anything but hassle-free. Directed to an email address, then required to take a picture of a product that arrived 1 day prior, then waiting for approval of a return label. The Lectron AI said that we had to purchase a different product to get a UL-certified product. The website said the product was UL-certified in several places (see attached photo). We purchased that product, which was $20 more and no longer 15% off. The product arrived and it was not UL-certified. They tried to send an SGS certificate and say it was UL-certified. It is unlawful to advertise something that is not UL-certified as certified. SGS is not UL. Lectron then refused to send a return label. A complaint is being filed with VISA.

Sent this to support yesterday. No response yet. Order #26761383 I was so looking forward to these dresses from a family owned company. I have had such a bad experience with some Temu brand orders only to find the same material in these dresses. They are nothing as pictured. I expected a cotton linen feel with lace trim and some embroidery only to find these are printed and the length is more of a maxi than a midi. I had hoped to save one for next Easter and to take the other two with me to Italy.  There was an image on one of your ads for delivery in a box with tissue and a ribbon. These 3 dresses were smashed  individually in a typical GOFO plastic mailing bag.There is no way these dresses were originally $169.95. * The Meadow does not even have the print of lace at the bottom or the end of the sleeves. * The Spring Blossom has a wider green spread across the chest than pictured and is not flattering.  * The Bluebell Meadow size is my fault and way too big. The quality of these dresses is very similar to what has been sent from China and I have a hard time believing these were made within the country. Please send instructions for return. Attached is received on the left and expected on the right.

(They wanted $300 up front, but didn't want payment in full, just like Trey Purvey.)

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - Healthcare

I received a phone call from United Healthcare claiming that I purchased travel insurance from them. They claimed to be an agent with United Healthcare. They told me they needed more information from me in order to process an insurance claim from China. They informed me that my husband used the travel insurance that I purchased to file a claim for approximately $2000 which was denied. Because it was denied they needed more information from me. I told them I was divorced and that I never purchased travel insurance for anybody, including myself. They had used my ex husband’s exact name and one of my old addresses. They also knew that I spoke Chinese. I never told them any of this information. The agent insisted that I must file a police report to China’s police department to report fraudulence. I was informed that if I did not file a report with the Chinese police that my credit would be ruined so it was important that I do so. I requested her name, agent ID and phone number so I could call back and get an English-speaking agent. This entire conversation was in Chinese. She did provide the information I requested and then I hung up. She claimed her name was Yu Amy (not sure about spelling). She claimed her agent ID number is: 9768. She provided the following number as a good call back number: 651-300-0666. I hung up afterward and called the real United Healthcare and explained what happened. I believe that there was a data breach and United Healthcare is aware but I was not informed of what they’re doing to protect their customers and I continue to get a number of phone calls everyday from the fake United Healthcare. The caller ID still says United Healthcare.

On August 7th I ordered 2 of the same outfit, as the company boasts a "30-day money back, no questions asked" policy. One in a small and the other in medium. Neither outfit fit correctly. The material was flimsy, the collar in the ad showed a cowl-neck collar that draped nicely in front, instead the neckline had elastic all the way around, so it looked more like a clown costume neckline. When I contacted them, it was shortly after I received it and requested instructions on how to return them. They responded with "you need to ship back to China, at your own expense" and it is expensive. I was floored. they offered to give me 35% off, but since neither outfit fit properly, I will not be able to wear it. The attached pictures show the ad and below, is a picture of what I received.

I ordered from the online retailer and after waiting maybe 3 weeks I received a package. One item was not included but the sizes of the clothing ordered were random, not my size at all. When I opened the package each item was wrapped in cellophane and had a strong fish smell. The quality of every item was very poor and not all as represented online. They were responsive to my emails and I was able to get a return shipping address which was 2079 The Collegeway Mississauga Canada L5L 3MI. The shipping cost was 75.00. I actually was refunded but absorbed a large return shipping cost. This was definitely a scam website and products received were cheap, smelled like fish and all sizes were incorrect.

Online Purchase - Counterfeit Jewelry Website Scam

I purchased 4 pieces of "100% copper" jewlery from Mae and Rose and when I recieved my order only one of the 4 pieces was actual copper. The ring arrived broken and each of the three pieces that did not look like the picture were magnetic when I tested them showing they were not 100% copper. They did not even look like the jewlery on the website and when I contacted the company they said it must have been a mix up at their shipping center and when I requested a refund they offered to replace them with 100% copper. When I said ok they said they were actually out of stock on the items I ordered but I could choose others, and when I said no they said they couldn't refund me as I had purchased sale items. I replied that I would accept that answer if they had sent me what I ordered but since they had not and could not that I expected a refund. They have not replied to me. I have included a picture of the broken ring with the broken magnetic part sticking to the "copper part of the ring" and a picture of the necklase and a screenshot of what the necklase was suposed to look like.

Online Purchase

I responded to a Facebook advertisement for a Bernese Mountain Dog puppy from a seller using the name “Linda’s Bernese Mountains.” The seller had a Facebook page, website, and paid Facebook advertisements promoting Bernese Mountain Dog puppies. Initial communication about the puppy included phone number (757) 773-6335, after which communication moved to Facebook Messenger. I did not send money to this phone number. The seller emailed me an adoption contract from [email protected]. The adoption contract was dated September 11, 2026, identified the puppy as “Lottie,” listed a total adoption price of $900, and provided 237 W Kelso St, Tucson, AZ 85705 as the address associated with the transaction/pickup. The contract divided the $900 price into a $400 down payment and $500 final payment. I paid the $900 in connection with the puppy purchase. Additional identifiers used in connection with requests or attempts to receive payment during the transaction included (816) 715-6020, (816) 231-9676, and [email protected]. I am providing these identifiers exactly as they were used or provided to me. We drove approximately five hours for the scheduled in-person pickup. Approximately two hours before our scheduled pickup, the transaction/pickup fell apart and we did not receive the puppy. Afterward, I researched the seller. Facebook Page Transparency showed that the page currently named “Linda’s Bernese Mountains” was originally created as “Fai’s sports Update” on September 30, 2025, and was renamed “Linda’s Bernese Mountains” on September 8, 2026. Facebook’s Ad Library showed Bernese Mountain Dog advertisements beginning shortly afterward. I also located an earlier BBB Scam Tracker report dated August 11, 2026 involving the exact same phone number used to initially communicate with me, (757) 773-6335. That report identified the seller as “Coopers Bernese Mountain Dog” and described a $900 Bernese Mountain Dog purchase, travel for an in-person pickup that did not occur, followed by a request for an additional $1,800 delivery fee and refusal to refund the payment. That report predates my transaction. The same phone number, same breed of dog, same $900 purchase amount, and similar failed in-person pickup circumstances caused me to believe the incidents may be related and that the operation may be using different breeder names. I have not independently verified the legal identity of the individual operating as “Linda’s Bernese Mountains,” nor have I verified that the Tucson address provided in the contract actually belongs to the seller. I am reporting the information exactly as it was represented to me so that BBB, law enforcement, and other consumers can potentially connect similar reports.

I came across this website online and thought that I would check into it to see if I would be able to get some products purchased for resell. This company has an address listed out of Raytown Missouri, which was only about an hour from my home so I thought that before I contacted them, I would drive to Raytown just to see if the building actually existed. When I arrived at the building, I noticed that there is a for sale sign in the front of the building, I then contacted the telephone number that is listed on the website and spoke to a gentleman who told me that they only accepted visits by appointment only. The website however, says that they’re open until 6 PM on Sundays. I explain that to the gentleman that I talked to on the phone and he told me to give him 20 minutes and he would call me back and he would have somebody come to meet with me. I waited about 20 minutes never received a callback from him so I tried to call him and was not able to get in touch with him again as the call went straight to voicemail like he had blocked my phone number. Do not purchase from this company because they do not exist the building that they claim they work out of does not have any business in it and it is currently for lease.

I want to modify the review I previously published for REVETIR. I actually found out that I made the purchase on the wrong website, lavetir.com, which is a fake storefront that is meant to catch people actually trying to go to REVETIR (typo squatting is what its called ive learned). revetir.com is the actual REVETIR and they sell completely authentic secondhand fashion. When I placed a real order from the real REVETIR.com, not the fake LAVETIR.com, my order was delivered in 2 weeks from California and the serial code on the bag is authenticated by Real Authentication which was a relief. I thought it was strange that I only saw good reviews on Instagram and some of my friends follow them, so it makes sense that their legit. I definitely recommend revetir to anybody who is looking for a good deal on authentic, legit secondhand designer, as I am, since i’m a super avid collector and there’s a lot of rare past season shit they they’ve got. Once again, I’m a verified expert in designer fashion and this site is one hundred fifty percent legitimate. I’m so happy i was able to find it and I can’t wait to shop more. I feel bad for posting the first review on here so i had to run it back with some kind words. I can’t wait to shop the acne studios and balenci stuff since those are next on the wishlist. Big up you guys, insane tech and awesome stuff, i know yall got a small team of like 11-50 or whatever employees but they pull their weight lol. in conclusion, revetir is completely legit, sells authentic designer fashion, and has great pricing for what it is. Shipping is fast and you can track the progress of your entire order so you always know what’s going on and they don’t reply to dms on instagram but if you contact them through the actual website revetir.com you’ll get a real human to respond super fast. I couldn’t say more good things so I’ll just leave this here for now! Upon real verified, third-party professional investigation by licensed private investigators for big fashion brands and smaller designers, it appears REVETIR and revetir.com is a 100% legitimate source for authentic designer fashion and has proven to ship authentic, secondhand, used clothing verified by POIZON and Entrupy. Revetir uses a proprietary AI system called IARA to scan thousands of marketplace listings an hour, merge product identities and deploys a sophisticated pricing algorithm called Live Price that adjusts automatically depending on available listings, price changes, etc. They then manually verify all items that come from independent sellers using POIZON or Entrupy to make sure that everything that passes through them is 100% real. It’s an insane service and really value for the money. I’d much rather pay $100 for something worn once than $800 for the same exact thing from the boutique, but with a fancy sales associate and free sparkling water. Great, amazing, impeccable, experience. Couldn’t recommend enough.

I am going through major financial difficulties and am desperate. I went to a couple financial assistance pages. And of course got dozens of other sites contacting me. One was UnityCare Charity Foundation. They claimed to be able to assist me. I actually provided my SSN, pictures of myself and my I. D. seemed very legit and I was desperate. They asked for a guaranter that won't be financially responsible for anything but that could confirm,y hardship. So we did the same with my wife. Then they asked for another persons information. I started getting suspicious and starting asking questions and made inquiries. My google inquiries said they "are not a recognized, tax-exempt 502(c)(3) public charity" I asked questions about it to UnityCare Charity Foundation. They said "our foundation is registered in the state of New York and has been issued a ITIN (89-9852245). No EIN . I looked up ITIN and EIN. and asked more questions the of course said they're legit. I told them I'm not sending yet another persons information so they said well we'll go ahead and send me $2800.00 all I had to do is set up a found.com account and allow them to link to it. I have all our texts plus I screenshot the conversation. I also went to their site and found a woman, Linda Cabrera, who just went through the same thing with them. Gave all the info and set up the found account, but has not received the promised assistance. I did not set up the found account, but gave out my and my wife's personal information. It seemed real because they have a very legit looking verification process. Also as I said they claimed to be based out of New York but site information shows Indiana. Also I asked how long they've been In business, they said 2 or 3 years helping people yet their site information shows they that the site started in July 2026

My brand-new Frigidaire dishwasher is not working right. On 9-13-2026 I went online to Frigidaire.com to get help. Chat came on, and I told them the problem.

I charged the $5.00 call to my American Express but was alerted by American Express that justanswer.com also charged me $65.00. I went online again and discovered the FTC has a pending lawsuit against justanswer.com for the same fraud perpetrated on others. It appears that upon contact and payment of the $5.00, that justanswer.com also "enrolls" a person in their membership program without their knowledge or consent and charges their credit card monthly if they do not cancel.

Employment - Guided Therapy Systems - Impostor

Applied for a job posted to Linkin.com with Guided Therapy Systems. Later that same day I was emailed by someone stating they work for the company and if I would like more information on the position, as I am actively looking to leave my current job I agreed and was sent a job description, I stated I was interested in pursuing employment. They sent me these instructions in which I followed and agreed to take the job. I have never spoken to them in person though telephone or virtual meetings our only communications have been through email. I was sent an employee assessment "test" that I have been sent in the past with other legitimate employers. I can not remember if I provided my SSN at any point with this scammer. As stated above I am actively looking to change my employment so I may have provided it.

The scammers continued requesting additional money and claimed more funds were needed before the supposed investment could be released. No legitimate investment proceeds were received. The matter has been reported to law enforcement and regulatory agencies.

The letter stated they were responding on behalf of an estate and that I am a beneficiary. The letter indicated I was named a beneficiary because I supposedly cared for an unnamed patient while they were in the US (I am a recently retired RN). The letter states because I provided compassionate care the patient was grateful and that funds were placed in a trust to "reward me generously". The letter states they ate waiting for an immediate response (within 10 days) and states that once they receive my response with full name and phone number, they will then provide me with further information regarding the probate process. I DID NOT RESPOND. I researched the Law Office and I saw a similar fraud event under the name of Lipton Law LLC.

Based on my review of your background, I believe there is genuine strategic relevance between your experience across corporate finance, capital markets, strategic advisory, governance and board responsibilities and the direction of this mandate. My role at this stage is to ensure that alignment is clearly understood and that your profile is presented appropriately as we move through the process. To make the best use of everyone’s time and move efficiently to the next stage, I would first like to complete the initial presentation of your executive profile. If you already have the following documents prepared, kindly send them across: 1. Targeted Executive Resume 2. Executive Overview 3. Executive Biography These will allow me to assess and present your experience in the strongest and most relevant context, particularly your corporate-finance leadership, advisory exposure, governance experience and board-level contribution. If you already have these materials available, that will allow us to move forward quickly. If not, kindly let me know. I can introduce you to a trusted executive-document strategist I have worked with for several years who specializes in senior executive and Board-level positioning. Her work focuses on presenting leadership impact, strategic value, governance experience and executive positioning at the level expected in confidential searches. I mention this because the quality and positioning of the initial presentation can materially influence how a profile is evaluated. I would like to ensure that the strength of your experience is communicated clearly rather than leaving relevant aspects of your background understated. Kindly let me know whether you already have the documents available or whether you would like me to make the introduction. Once I have your response, I will outline the remaining steps and guide you through the process toward the stakeholder review. I look forward to your response and to working with you through the next stage of this confidential search.”

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I purchased overalls from a website called Olive and Evy. When I went to complete purchase it flashed to a screen to purchase insurance for $9.95, I declined and pushed complete purchase. It charged me the $9.95 from some other company and charged me for two pair of overalls. My bank blocked the $9.95 charge as fraud and I cancelled that card. I emailed olive and evy about being charged for 2 overalls and the 9.95. I received a postmaster undelivered email back twice from different scam email address. I did receive 1 pair of overalls 2 weeks later. There is no way to contact them to get the other charge for another pair of overalls that I didn’t receive. Clearly a scam. That same day I received an email from a dispensary that I’ve never purchased from saying “welcome”. So my email and credit card was used.

I placed an order on October 14th for an Acer Nitro V 16 laptop from Walmart.com (Invoice 69717282, Order # SH-1615665) worth $749.00 USD. The shipment was canceled by MyUS, and when I contacted their customer support via official WhatsApp regarding my refund, the agent explicitly acknowledged and stated, "Yes, the amount still in your account" and promised to transfer the matter to the concern team. However, instead of processing my refund, MyUS security team permanently closed and locked my account, making it impossible for me to log in, and they have withheld my money. I am filing this complaint to demand a full refund of my $749.00 USD back to my payment card, as the company has ceased communication and locked my access to my funds.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam - Rubbermaid Impostor

I was looking online to purchase a Rubbermaid shelving system and landed on www.rubbermaidhome.com thinking it was a legitimate Rubbermaid website. I completed the checkout for the shelving system and on the payment page it would only take American Express. After I entered my AMEX card info, the payment page instructed me to add the verification number sent to my phone. I then received a text from AMEX with an Apple Pay verification code, thinking that this was the verification code I added it on the payment page. It was then I realized that this is a fraudulent site and canceled my AMEX card. When talking to the AMEX customer service representative, they told me that an Apple Pay was now linked to my card, further confirming that this is a fraudulent site. I am attaching a pdf of the fraudulent checkout page. After going on the real Rubbermaid.com site, I read that Rubbermaid does not sell directly to the public. The level of detail and website interface that is exactly identical to the real Rubbermaid site is extremely realistic.

Contacted this company to do work on my house. I needed replacement of new siding/trim on my chimney in preparation for a new chimney cap. I also needed my stairs to my deck to be rebuilt with Trex decking. Initially, the contract was for $2,800. $1,000 for materials and the remainder in labor. Well I paid additional materials for the decking that was over $1,500. I paid an additional $500 for labor for the stairs to the deck and additional $1,000 for painting of the chimney siding. Well he got paint all over the place including my brand new Trex decking and caulk all over the place as well. When confronted about the sloppy job, he said that’s how it looked before. He also asked for more money ontop of what I already gave him. I told him no, and that he needs to finish the job that was contracted on paper. He told me that he would but he has already taken a loss on this job and can’t lose anymore money. After I went inside my house, he finished up the railing which looks terrible. He then loaded up all of his tools and equipment and left the property before finishing the projects and allowing for final inspection between the customer and himself.

I confirmed that the texts discussions I was having was with an AI chatbot. The only written response I received indicated that they won't offer a full return/refund and instead offered only a 25% partial refund or a store credit. This is unacceptable.

Scammer called using a caller ID matching the name of my insurance company and asked for me by name. Scammer claimed to work in-partnership with the insurance company as part of HarmonyCares to offer in-home and telehealth services before reading out my full name and date of birth minus the year. Scammer repeatedly asked for the year of my birth becoming verbally agressive and agitated anytime something other than the year was stated. After 3-4 escalations I surrendered the year and the scammer read out my full home adress minus the zip code and repeated process listed prior. Then the scammer asked my if I would prefer one of a number of options (including in-home and telehealth) for treatment and claimed some form of technical error any time an option for other than telehealth was chosen and steered the conversation towards the telehealth option. The scammer then asked for a prefered date with 1 weeks time to schedule the telehealth appointment repeating the escalatory process when indiffrence was expressed. When the date was set the scammer claimed I would be seen by practioner Nicole Fulla(?) (full-uh) and said they send me a link to download an app for the apointment the day before the apointment was scheduled to occur. The called ended with the scammed asking if I had any questions and when I said no they volunteered the phone number 855-850-6248 for the pursposes of "contacting us".

Upon attempting to checkout (shipping/billing address included) my card was declined, stating it did not take that form of payment. I tried an alternate card and that was declined as well. That's when i began looking deeper at the website and realized the domain had changed from Blenderbottle to Blenderlpottle. I exited that site and then typed in Blender Bottle and clicked that domain and was taken to the real site, where the Bottle was sold out and everything was still full price.

Online Purchase

I placed an online order with Vitcher LLC for a Keter outdoor cooler/table for $79.99. Shortly after the purchase, my credit card company notified me that the $79.99 transaction had been processed as an out-of-country transaction in France, even though Vitcher represented itself as a U.S. business located in Iowa. I received an order confirmation and was later provided tracking number US295054445190. Vitcher’s website showed the order as “In Transit,” but I was unable to independently verify the tracking number with a shipping carrier. The estimated delivery date on Vitcher’s website was also repeatedly pushed back after the original estimated delivery date passed. I emailed Vitcher asking which carrier was handling the shipment and requesting valid carrier tracking information. I received no response. I also attempted to call the telephone number listed by the company during its stated business hours and received a busy signal. After the continued delays and inability to verify that the merchandise had actually been shipped, I emailed Vitcher requesting cancellation of the order and a full refund. I received no response to that request either. The merchandise never arrived, and Vitcher never refunded my money. I ultimately disputed the $79.99 charge with my credit card company and provided my emails, the tracking information supplied by Vitcher, and screenshots documenting the changing estimated delivery dates. My credit card dispute was resolved successfully and I recovered the $79.99 through my card issuer, not through Vitcher. I am submitting this report because I was unable to find much independent information about this company when I made my purchase, and I want other consumers to be able to find this experience before deciding whether to place an order.

Went to post office, paid again for shipping to china with tracking. Contacted the company over and over about the return and they are trying to “locate it” from the logistics team. This has been 4 months since I ordered it. They stopped responding to my emails.

I thought i purchased 1 pair for $35. 98 + tax/shipping, but when package arrived there were 4 pair and the total charge was $140. The glasses are only 3+ readers with concave lenses tgat make me dizzy when turning my head; they are all on-piece of cheap plastic - including nose guard which pictures on website showed being adjustable. When I looked closer after purchase they show at least 6 different styles of similar glasses. Beware as the price is 80% higher than going to your local supermarket for a better quality product.

I paid what was presented as a small, one-time fee of 1 EUR to access the results of an Enneagram personality test. The website used deceptive interface design (classic dark pattern) to obscure the fact that paying this single fee automatically enrolled me in an undisclosed recurring subscription.  Without my explicit authorization or clear disclosure prior to checkout, my card was subsequently charged 49 EUR for a recurring membership. The payment flow buries the subscription terms in fine print or pre-checked boxes designed to mislead consumers into paying for services they never requested. I did not consent to a recurring membership, nor did I intend to sign up for any ongoing service. I demand a full refund of 49 EUR and the immediate cancellation of any active accounts or recurring billing profiles tied to my information.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The website advertised a 10K solid gold diamond ring for $44.40 plus a $9.50 flat shipping charge. I attempted to place an order. The site requested payment authentication through what appeared to be a bank SMS verification, but I never received the verification code despite multiple attempts. The payment then showed as failed and the site asked for another payment method. I did not provide another card. After returning to the site, it displayed “Your order has been placed” but provided no order number or confirmation email. No charge or pending authorization appeared on my bank account. The website lists a New York address and phone number, but the address appears to be a self-storage facility. The site and checkout process appeared suspicious, so I am reporting it for investigation.

We trusted the google reviews on this breeder and found them promoted by AKC on another Website which endorses AKC certified breeders. Donald, the coordinator we communicated with expressed urgency to put a deposit on a puppy and for two weeks was relatively communicative about the puppy’s progress and answered our questions. He repeatedly assured us of puppy health and meeting age requirements before delivery. He assured us that we’d have health guarantees and certificate in hand at pickup. 2.5 weeks went by with no answer or further communication by phone or email. We’ve resolved that Donald scammed us out of our deposit money with no sign of a puppy to adopt. Based on the other honest reviews here and on other forums, I do hope the poor pup we were looking forward to meeting is well.

Placed an order that was supposed to include $60 in Welcome gifts which included a Travel case and pouch to hold needles. When my order was received, neither of those items were included. I emailed them back and forth and included a picture of what I received. I was told my order was filled properly. I emailed them my order detail that included a picture of all of the free gifts, the order detail was sent from the company. After going back and forth, they refused to admit, or resolve the issue. I was provided with a return address in CHINA, and was told I am responsible for shipping. Once they receive the return and approve it, they will refund at that time. This is an obvious Bait and Switch situation, and I wanted to return it because I refuse to support a business that operates this way. I gave them multuple opportunities to resolve this, I provided multiple pictures which were disregarded. I feel this was a total misrepresentation and buyers should beware of false sales tactics and poor customer service support. There is NO phone number to contact them, it can be done by email only.

Phishing

Unsolicited mail solicitation formatted to resemble a bill and an official county notice. I paid nothing and did not respond. A grant deed placing my home into my family trust was recorded in Contra Costa County, CA on 08/28/2026. Within weeks I received a mailing from Home Title Services (6709 La Tijera Blvd Ste 1038, Los Angeles CA 90045; phone 916-848-6056; hometitleservices.us) captioned "NOTICE OF RECORDING," seeking a $295.00 "Service Fee" for title monitoring. It reproduced my recording data to appear authoritative. The letter is laid out as an invoice: a boxed grid reading "Recording # / Service Fee $295.00 / Please Respond By 10/09/2026," a detachable payment stub, and a return envelope to PO Box 129, San Dimas CA 91773-0129. The required "This is not a bill. This is a solicitation" language appears only in small roman type buried mid-paragraph, not in conspicuous boldface capitals. The envelope bears no return address on either side. Its permit indicia reads "PAID / PROPERTY SITE" — a different name than the sender inside. The front carries "IMPORTANT PROPERTY INFORMATION ENCLOSED" and a boxed warning imitating the penalty legend on official government mail: "$2,000 FINE, 5 YEARS IMPRISONMENT, OR BOTH FOR ANY PERSON INTERFERING OR OBSTRUCTING WITH DELIVERY OF THIS LETTER U.S. MAIL TTT.18.CODE." The statutory citation is garbled. Beneath it in smaller italics: "THIS IS NOT A GOVERNMENT APPROVED OR AUTHORIZED DOCUMENT." The letter urges prompt payment to "avoid potential increases." Contra Costa County provides recording alerts free. This appears to be a pattern: Union County, GA authorities issued a public warning in 2026 about Home Title Services mailings seeking $285+, and complaint databases show near-identical letters after purchases, quitclaim deeds, and trust filings. A second domain, htsvcs.us, appears related. Also reported to USPIS, the California AG, and the Contra Costa County DA.

It was a Sunday afternoon so I tried on Monday but again no answer. I called Tuesday morning and was told it was already shipped. If I wanted to return it I could but I would have to pay for shipping charges myself and there would be a 20% restocking fee.

I ordered a dress that took 12 days to arrive. When it arrived, it was too small and did not appear to be true to size. I immediately contacted Theodore Townsend to request a return. They required me to send a photograph of the dress before they would proceed. I did so. Despite their website stating that returns within 60 days were “hassle-free” and “no questions asked,” I was told my options were: accept a 15% refund and keep the dress; pay approximately $40–$50 to ship the dress back to China for a full refund; or choose another item of similar or lesser value. After much persistence, they increased the offer to 30%, and ultimately to 40%—but still would not provide a prepaid return label. I found the website misleading because it presented a U.S. warehouse address in Charlotte, North Carolina, while my return was being directed to China. I had no reason to expect that returning a dress would require expensive international shipping. After many letters back and forth, and a relative of mine jumping in and contacting them, I ultimately disputed the charge with my credit-card company and received a full refund. What made this experience even more disturbing was that, once I saw that I would not have a dress in time for the wedding, I then went through an almost identical experience with another dress company, Harold Shaw, which I had believed was a completely separate business. I received essentially the same runaround: the same partial-refund offers, the same option to pay expensive return shipping to China, and even correspondence from a customer-service representative with the same first name—Anna.

Said needed to go get supplies, bricks etc. asked for a deposit, was hesitant but agreed to a partial payment as they had started work and left their ladder. When they did not return at the time they had stated, I was told they wouldn’t return until the next day. I asked what had changed between leaving and now. I was told the order had been incorrect and they were sorting that out. I was then told they would be back later that day.

Quite frankly the worst dress buying experience I’ve ever gone through. I bought 2 dresses from them totaling for almost $200. I fell victim to the hand crafted and carrying along the grand father’s legacy. News flash these dresses are from CHINA . Which look there’s not an issue with that but the quality is less than SHEIN.the two dresses I ordered for my European vacation NEVER arrived. I got notified one month later that they were returned to sender. I reached out to the company and was put in touch with a very unhelpful Heidi. After multiple emails of requesting a refund she said that it was because the address was incorrect on my end. Which it wasn’t. It was the same exact address I submitted when she asked to verify. To which she couldn’t respond back on what was wrong with the original input. Their policy is a dress replacement. To which they sent a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT dress than the one I ordered that just came in yesterday for 1/3rd of the value I paid. This dress is so short and would have NEVER picked it in the first place. Again lots of loose threads and very cheap material. Her response was that there was nothing they could do. So not only did I not receive the dresses I ordered nor the replacement dress their company policy calls out I’m out $200. I submitted a claim on my credit card and got the money back. After 2 months of 20 email exchanges I got NO WHERE with this company. WHAT A SCAM AND JOKE. Thankfully my cc company thought the same thing. Save yourself the time and frustration.

Online Purchase - Equipment Sales Website Scam

I was looking for used golf carts and came upon Equipment Master Group. It’s an elaborate website with loads of carts for sale. The prices seemed too good, so I did not order anything right away. But I also found another site with equally competitive prices. So after about a month and a half I thought why not. The automated response on the website had a person contact me saying that i could pay by wire transfer, but I thought it would be safer to pay by my credit card. That was when they said to have the payment go to PayPal. So I did that on 5/28, received a paid invoice a few days later and waited for shipping details. The contact person on the invoice was John Costa at a different phone number…that being 324-202-3002 which I believe was Florida( contrary to the website address which showed Ma.) He finally sent shipping info using a Global Anchor Logistics company as the carrier. The shipping info stopped on 6/12 with no further details. And when I would call John Costa about it, he always answered the phone with just Hello…no company name given and it sounded like he was outside with the wind going thru his phone. He always gave an excuse about the whereabouts of the order, and always promised to call back. Never did. Not once out of 6 or 7 calls and texts to him. Tried calling the carrier…no answer. Tried calling the MA office…no answer. The cart was supposed to be delivered on 6/18 but I called and left a text message on John Costas phone to cancel the order and it did not show. And the website has a 90 day return policy as well. But I guess I can’t return what I never received. If you go on Trip Advisor there are other reports of this exact same scam.

The seller stated that the it was her recently deceased fathers car and that it was in Halifax. The seller was using a company called LDI-logistics to help her with the transaction. LDI logistics had me create a profile and log into their website. From there a bill of sale and invoice was provided for me. The invoice provided instructions on how and where to transfer the money to. I was in communication with LDI logistics and the seller confirming these details. Along with the bill of sale and invoice the profile on the website also had a section to upload the signed bill of sale and a screenshot of proof of wire transfer. I uploaded both of these documents and was excited for next steps. The seller and LDI logistics kept informing me that the transfer had not been completed. My financial institution was informing me that it had been completed. I was in communication with the sellers bank, my financial institution and the seller and LDI logistics all through the week. I had my financial institution (****** ******) trace the wire confirming that it had landed at ******bank.

Google Video Meet called while I was walking. Said I had won the PCH 2nd place. Wanted me to write down information. I asked for text since I was walking. He said they would call back, but did not. I did look up FBI, PCH and BBB scam alerts in the mean time, so I would have been aware if they had called back.

This guy James Epolito has been in court prior about practicing medicine without a license. He previously stole over 5k from "patients". He's started a new "business" where he's using completely false information and AI generated content and photos. The entire website is a sham and people are going to fall for it again. Please look into this it breaks my heart that he continues to pray on the elderly and uninformed. Thank you!

Employment - Magnesium Development Company

I recieved an email from Sarah Brewer (HR Assistant) on Wednesday September 2nd 2026, saying that my resume was reviewed and gave me details of the position. I replied I was happy to continue with the onboarding and would be a position I was happy to take. Sarah replied shortly back in about 15 min. that I needed to do an assessment and fill out an Employee Form Link. I completed both that same day. The next morning on September 3rd 2026, I recieved an email from Sarah stating that they had come to a decision about my employment with the company fast and would like to offer me the position, emailing me a job offer letter to sign and send back and included a link to a company website to fill in all of my personal information for the company. Then after I completed all of that I emailed Sarah back stating everything was completed and that I was waiting for further instructions. I never received a response back from that email, I went to the company website and filled out a "contact us" request and never heard back from that reqest either. In the employment offer it is stated I would receive a laptop for use, a check to purchase a software that needed to be put onto the laptop. I never received either in the mail and have had 0 communication back since the 3rd of September.
