Employment - Employment

I saw their "work from home" ad on the phone and I clicked on it. They instantly began to text with me back and forth within their page. They quickly promised me a job for a certain amount of money for me to earn from home. They start off offering small amounts of money, then they said I could make between $6,000 to $8,000 a month, depending on how fast and efficiently I worked. The example of the job that I chose was making hair pins. The job required me to assemble a box of items (hair pins) that they will send me by a courier and once that box is completed, a courier would pick the boxes back up. Once everything is verified, then I would be sent my money on Cash app. Then, another box would be sent and so on and so forth. They also tried to get me to give a donation by using bitcoin for $25.00. We texted until 9:00 p.m. that night on 8/25/26. The representative that I was texting back and forth with told me that she wanted me to be on my phone at 9:00 a.m. promptly so that she can verify all of the information once again. Something told me that something wasn't right, so I googled the company name that was used, which was "Homemade". Instantly, everything that the google information said to me was the same thing that was told to me by an AI person named Audrey Taylor. I never spoke to a real person about anything; however a phone number (1-502-232-5926), a job code (XY825002), invitation codes(855966), (920123), and a website: https://t.me/AudreyTaylor1. were all provided. My only identifiable information that I gave was my name, address, date of birth, gender, and e-mail. I hope that you all can do something to them(have them arrested) or stop them from continuing to do this to someone else!

The website is asking for information like tax documents, IEP, SSI info, EBT card info, and other documents to prove low income or special needs.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Captivating Travels by Connie

I booked a group trip through Connie Seastedt of Captivating Travels by Connie, a travel agent with whom I was referred by others who have successfully done business several times in the past. The trip was planned for a group of six travelers and included accommodations at three hotels and train transportation between destinations. On May 20, 2026, I paid $1,020.00 by Credit Card for my individual portion of the trip. Connie subsequently provided a final itinerary and confirmation showing the travel arrangements. On August 21, 2026, I learned from a friend that Captivating Travels by Connie had reportedly closed and that trips booked through the agency had been canceled. I had received no notice from Connie regarding the closure of her business or any problems with my trip. We immediately attempted to contact her by telephone at 12:41 p.m. CT, text message at 12:57 p.m. CT, and email at 1:10 p.m. CT, but received no response. We then contacted each of the three hotels listed on my itinerary directly. One hotel advised that it could not locate a reservation under our name, while the other two confirmed that the reservations had been canceled. As of August 26, 2026, Connie has not responded to any of our attempts to contact her or provided an explanation regarding my travel arrangements or the money I paid. I have since become aware of news reports and social media posts from other customers reporting similar experiences involving Connie Seastedt and Captivating Travels by Connie. I am reporting this matter because I paid for travel services that were represented as booked and confirmed, but those arrangements are no longer in place, and I have been unable to obtain any information, resolution, or refund from the travel agent.

They will not give me an address to return the item and have requested ridiculous steps such as pictures of the item and pictures of the tags on the item. They even requested a picture of me wearing the dress. it is obvious that this place is a scam and they have no intention of accepting my return and refunding my payment.

I was approached by a company claiming to be M1 Teck inc and they offered me a data entry position. They sent me a Teams invite for an interview. The email address was [email protected]. After the "interview", the person in the Teams chat and the response from the email let me know they would be emailing me a check for me to deposit in my checking account so that I could buy materials for a home office. This seemed suspicious, so I reached out to the bank and the company on the check. The bank sent me a phone number that confirmed there was money in the account, which alerted me that it was a true checking account. The business on the check was Equipmentville, USA LLC and I contacted them. They confirmed that it is a fraudulent situation and they did not approve any transactions with me. Here is a document of my transactions with them.

At this point I felt the mobile deposit was weird, so I did not complete this process and will be talking to my bank tomorrow.

Employment - Work from home / package re-shipping employment scam

I received an email and phone call from a company name Delivery Bird (dvrybird). They conducted an over the phone interview, I filled out paperwork and signed a contract. It is a 1099 job that sends you packages to check and verify what's in the package and then send you a label to send it to a customer. I worked for a month, and they told me that I would get paid once a month. When it was close to my pay date, packages started slowly coming and on my pay date, they locked me out their online system. They have an online system dvrybird.online that allows you to state when a package is received, sent, and a place to upload pictures of the package and the shipping receipt. They were shipping through UPS, USPS, FedEx, and DHL. I never was paid; I had a supervisor that I reported to daily. I also still have three packages that never received labels.

They asked for my personal info and picture of an ID. After she said they were gonna reach back for a background check that was gonna take a few days. After the call I went on indeed to check my application and the specific role since it was remote and realized there is no company or job position similar to it, i never applied for this job listing.Which then i did some research to realize it was a job scam to get people’s information and illegally send packages out linked to you.

I received a voicemail from the number listed stating they were VIP Petcare and needed me to confirm my information to keep my dogs flea medication autoship order on schedule. This was the voicemail they left. “Senna’s prescription has been transferred to the new VIP pet care pharmacy to keep the next shipment on schedule. We just need you to confirm your information with our pharmacy customer care team as a special thank you for completing the process enjoy $25 off your first AutoShip order please call us at 877-481-0141 as soon as possible. Your next auto shipment cannot be sent until this step is completed again that's 877-481-0141 thank you for trusting us with center of care. We look forward to speaking with you soon.…” I called the number back with my husband and they claimed the company was recently bought by another branch and they no longer had our billing, home address, or card on file. I gave them our billing address and home address, but my husband felt this could be a scam so we refused giving out card info. The lady said without the card info Senna’s autoship order couldn’t be processed and she would have to cancel it. We told her to go ahead and cancel then because we didn’t understand how this information couldn’t be carried over under new ownership. She claimed she would cancel it and rushed us off the phone. After doing some research apparently this number is not the official VIP Petcare number, nor would the company need this information as it would carry over. We also realized the autoship order is through Chewy anyways and VIP Petcare just needs to give consent to Chewy before shipping. We believe that we were almost scammed. This was a super convincing scam that we unfortunately partially fell for by giving them our billing and home address. When we checked the status on our dogs flea medication, it states it should ship out tomorrow still. This was a very confusing and bizarre situation.

The company's AI bot support acknowledged via email of receiving both sets of bible but shipping / receiving staff made an error in their computer data entry and as a result the second set can not be refunded until computer entry is corrected.

I purchased a Tee Popper with extra plastic balls, the purchase also came with extra free add ons like "Doughout club." I was subscribed to a monthly membership I never consented on, or whas it clarified through the purchase process, or email confirming purchase. I emailed them letting them know I never received an email for a subscription, Kynvale stated to have sent one stating on the subject: "Welcome to the Dugout Club." I emailed over and over that it was never sent to me, and I am requesting for refund for 2 charges of $40 for a subscription I never agreed to, or was clarified to. There was a cancelation link on their webpage, they make you input your email, the email is sent, then you have to open the link in your email again. So stupid!! which I happen to stop that Cancelation as well, and screenshot the confirmation. In that Cancelation of subscription, it had a tab I could not open that stated "Subscription Plan", and those usually can be changed. I couldn't open. They finally offered 20% refund, and I stopped emailing, and called my CC company to file fraudulent charges. Kynvale just so happen to refund both charges totalling $80. YOU NEED TO CLARIFY IN THE EMAIL THEY NEVER SENT YOU AN EMAIL STATING ANYTHING FOR A SUBSCRIPTION OR MEMBERSHIP! HAVE THAT RECORDED AND CAN SUBMIT TO CC COMPANY AS YOU ATTEMPTING TO ESTABLISH SOME COMMUNICATION WITH THEM TO FILE FOR FRAUD. Also screen shots of your original purchase, showing them that there's nothing stating subscription or membership. Hope this helps someone!

Usually see a specific company name, website, fax, phone, address etc. Then luckily I searched on the Internet and found someone who had the same issue and it was a scam. I'm thankful I could search the Internet and find the bbb story. Shredded the letter.

Online Purchase - The Hills Boutique Imposter / Ds Digital Commerce Online Retail Scam

I placed an order with The Hills Boutique, after two weeks of no items being delivered I started to reach out to the seller for five days with many emails to the seller followed up by trying to call a phone number that does not exist according to Verizon. No response from any of the methods that they tell you to contact. Completely unprofessional service do not under any circumstances order from this scam service.

a flight I booked with justfly.com for Kuwait airways was cancelled and the seats were not refunded. Justfly told me that I had to reach out to Kuwait. Kuwait states that they don't even charge for seats and because you charged for the flight and the seats you have to provide the refund. After months of calling and no resolution justfly promises they will message back and resolve and they do absolutely nothing.
