Online Purchase - njmcdirect.online

I was attempting to pay a parking ticket through NJMCDirect. When I entered njmcdirect.com in my browser, I was redirected to njmcdirect.online, which appeared to be the legitimate NJMCDirect website. I entered my credit-card information because I believed I was paying my parking ticket. I did not knowingly purchase or authorize any software, subscription, or other service. After entering my payment information, I discovered that my card had instead been charged for Stay Secure software that I did not want or intend to purchase. I never received an email receipt, confirmation, or other notification explaining that I had supposedly purchased a software subscription. I also could not find any reasonable way to cancel the subscription or prevent additional charges. The charges appearing on my credit-card account are: - STAY SECUREAPP — $9.95 - STAY SECUREAPP — $19.95 I believe I was misled into providing my credit-card information under the false impression that I was paying a parking ticket, and that my payment information was subsequently used to create software subscriptions that I did not knowingly authorize. I am requesting a full refund of both charges, immediate cancellation of any subscriptions associated with my card, and written confirmation that no further charges will be made.

Yes, I purchased the standard of power soda peak gummies in the hopes that I would have my ED corrected and after I received the package I tried for it for about 2 and 1/2 3 weeks everyday as prescribed and didn't notice really anything after the advertisement said that I would notice it in the first week for sure. So I tried to contact them and at first I entered in this crazy email address I contact @customercs.com it was cited as non-deliverable and then I tried to call their phone number 507-448-8190. The label said distributed by instituto experience Lakeland Florida 33804. Then I also looked at the package that product came in and the return address is 11870 62nd Street, largo Florida 33773. Then I researched it online because they never called me back after several attempts and I attempted to try different emails thinking I needed to not have a space after it and to no avail I was not able to get through. I noticed that BBB had written up a bad article on the company so that's when I started to realize I had been scammed .I'm j out the $300 and a bag full of 5 full bottles that have done nothing so far . I contacted my bank and they said that they couldn't do anything for me. I used the credit card but maybe I should get it canceled. I hope you can get these scoundrels and put them away for a long time

I intended to buy two dresses from Peppermayo, an Australian clothing retail company. The scammer company, Peppamayo, had an almost identifiable website, and ran advertisements under the Peppermayo name on other websites. I bought two dresses from Peppamayo, I received one of them but the other dress was not the correct dress. Both were also poor quality. I also have since realized I did not pay taxes on this transaction, another indicator of such a scam. Additionally, the top of the website is titled “Peppermayo,” even though the website address is https://peppamayo.com/. I have been unsuccessful in returning the clothing and receiving a refund for the incorrect order.

I tried to order the report, even though I was a bit suspicious, and it malfunctioned when I tried to enter my phone number. I started a chat box and the chat responder said that he sent me an email with an invoice and that I could order through that. I said "thanks, bye" and did some research. The research confirmed that this fit the exact criteria for a common scam. I did not order the "report."
