Phishing - Phishing

I received a phishing email impersonating a cloud storage provider. The email falsely claimed that my payment method had expired and that my cloud storage account had been disabled. It warned that all of my photos and videos would be permanently deleted unless I renewed my subscription immediately. The email used urgent language such as: * "Your Cloud Storage Needs Your Attention" * "Payment method has expired" * "Your Cloud Storage has been Disabled" * "We were unable to renew your Cloud Storage" * "Final notice: your data will be deleted. Your account has been blocked. All your photos and videos will be deleted today." The message contained a "RENEW NOW" button that directed users to a phishing website hosted on the domain: newspotlight.live The phishing links included obfuscated tracking information and appeared designed to steal account credentials or payment information by impersonating a legitimate cloud storage service. The email was sent from a Hotmail account using the display name "CIoudMemberShip," where an uppercase "I" was substituted for the lowercase "l" in the word "Cloud" to make the sender appear more legitimate. Technical research showed that the phishing domain was recently registered and that the website resolves to IP address 208.115.214.134. The infrastructure appears to be associated with a hosting network connected to Limestone Networks. I did not click through to provide personal information or payment details and I did not lose any money. I am reporting this scam to help warn other consumers and assist organizations working to identify and remove phishing websites before additional people become victims.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product - Berberine Weight Loss Patches

I was misled into ordering 20 boxes for $186.20. All the boxes are individually securely sealed and inside there is a secured foil bag that holds the plastic containers containing 7 days of stamps. It was after opening the first and only box I oped, that I saw that the weight loss patches were the size of a stamp! I did not order these! I wore 1 patch under my belly button for 8 hours the first day then the 2nd patch for 2 hours. I had to remove it because I was having an allergic reaction to the adhesive on the patch! It caused a rash and was very itchy!I contacted their company email over 11 times requesting a full refund because I was misled during my ordering, didn't receive the product that was advertised and I had a health risk when wearing it. Also, I'm well within the 60 day money back guarantee!! They totally ignored my situation then offered me a 30% refund.I refused and again asked them for a full 100% money back guarantee, a RMA (Return Merchandise Authorization) code and their address to mail it back to. I even offered to pay the shipping! I'm still being ignored so I'm calling my Credit Card company and disputing the charge. Now I have 19 unopened, securely sealed stamp size patches to sell at a garage sale I guess! My picture of the patches won't attach to this page because it's too large but trust me this company is not to be trusted because they will keep your money, refuse the return boxes siting a health risk to their shelves and ignore your emails! I'm not backing down though! Don't you either!

The website claims to sell stained glass lamps. The description on their website states that the lamps are handcrafted stained glass. They are not - they are made of plastic. They claim that they are forced to go out of business and ask for a donation to help them out. The image on their main website page is of two women, and one is crying because they are two sisters, a small family run company with a shared love for creating light by hand, going out of business. They claim the pieces are up to 80% off because they are closing. The farewell heartfelt story is a bait and switch. The lamps are shipped from China.

Online Purchase - Unauthorized Confirmation/Additions to Order

I wanted to purchase the product for $42 USD to see if it worked. When making the order I checked that box and then "Proceed to Checkout". The next screen offered a "Second Unit for Half Off" with a "flashing" sign to click. I clicked the "Proceed to Checkout" button instead. The next screen offered a "Bonus Box" or "Magic Box" for like $35 with a flashing bar saying "accept". I selected "Proceed to Checkout". Then there were additional screens with similar all of which I DID NOT accept. Finally, there was a screen that offered "Express Shipping" and there was no box to select and no way to Exit. I back up to find my "Order had been placed" and showed that I had accepted all the extra goodies, which is untrue. I immediately sent them an email telling them to cancel the order. I also contacted my Credit card Company to cancel the order. Today I received two emails saying my order had shipped. They also provided a USPS tracking number. I sent them an email to tell them what I have shared with you and that I will refuse delivery and contact the attorney generals office.

Online Purchase

I purchased Parivie as a gift for my mother. The company bills on a recurring basis. The initial charge went through on October 4, 2025. An additional charge went through on December 4, 2025. At this point, I realized it was a recurring subscription and cancelled my membership. A past due balance letter was received on May 26, 2026, regarding a past due balance for a charge on January 4, 2026, which was a month after my subscription was cancelled. I called on June 5, 2026, and spoke with Rosh Aguilar, who informed me that I was receiving this past due balance letter for a charge that was processed on December 4, 2026. I reviewed my credit card statement and saw I was charged a total of 112.81 on December 4, 2025, from Parivie. I informed the agent of the billing charge and confirmation on my end, which should also be reflected on their end. I proceeded to confirm the cancellation date of my subscription, and he then stated this is a charge for January 4, 2026. How is it possible to be charged for something a month after cancellation? He then proceeded to tell me that the amount was still due. After several minutes of communication, he stated that, as a courtesy, they would be able to remove the charge and update my account, removing the January payment due. I asked for written confirmation, which he was unable to provide. While this was not a large amount of money due to the scamming tactics provided by Parivie should be reported to assist others who are looking for this service.

Online Purchase

We purchased a product from this seller and were provided with a supposed shipping confirmation from [email protected]. The seller claimed that the package was shipped via USPS and provided a tracking number as proof. Upon verification, the tracking number provided is not a valid USPS tracking number and cannot be found within the USPS tracking system. Despite being informed of this issue, the seller continues to claim that USPS is responsible for the missing shipment. This is not an isolated incident. The seller has provided invalid shipping information on three separate occasions, each time claiming that the product was shipped when there is no evidence that USPS ever received the package. Based on the repeated use of invalid tracking information, the inability to verify shipment through USPS, and the seller's continued refusal to provide legitimate shipping documentation, we believe this may be a deliberate attempt to misrepresent shipment status and avoid fulfilling customer orders. Key Facts: • Seller claims package was shipped via USPS. • Tracking number provided is not a valid USPS tracking number. • USPS has no record of the shipment. • This has occurred three separate times. • Seller continues to blame USPS despite no evidence the package was ever shipped. • Product has never been received. We are requesting a full refund and further investigation into the seller's business practices.

Shopify will do no more than tell me to contact the company that issued my credit card. Shopify refuses to acknowledge any responsibility, first, with regard to the deceptive practices of merchants using their website and, second, with regard to persons who were mislead using their website to make purchases.

Tech Support

On 9/3/22, a message came up on my computer screen blocking me from doing anything. It contained a phone number that I called and they claimed to be tech support. I they installed more than one program that they said was to protect my computer. They also got me to sign a contract for a subscription to a program that was supposed to be protective of my computer. They had me write a check for $299 and scan it. Then, they ended up getting me for a total of $1047. I still have the picture of the check on my computer and a copy of the fraudulent contract. At the time, I didn't realize that I was being scammed. Then, on 11/7/25, they called me saying that there would be a charge if wanted to continue the service, but if I wanted to cancel it, they collect no further money. I told them that I wished to cancel their service but they refused unless they got thousands more to do it per the contract. I repeatedly told that I wanted to cancel it to no avail. The representative on the phone was rude and even told me to "Shut up and listen!" Since that time I have received numerous calls from them regarding this situation and the number they call from keeps changing. I have gotten to the point where I just simply delete the messages that they leave me. It is easy to tell it is them because, man or woman, they all have a heavy Indian accent. Since 2022, I have not and will not give them a single cent more. I hope that they will be found, arrested, and imprisoned once and for all so that they can no longer prey on innocent people like me.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Vacation Package Scam

My husband and I received an invitation in the mail to attend an event locally (a spouse or partner was required) called the 2026 Sebring Luxury Travel Show. It said "Join us for a fun filled travel, cruise and adventure showcase." In exchange we were to receive a "complimentary 3, 5 or 7-night cruise for two adults aboard our choice of major cruise lines." It said it even included complimentary airfare. It also said "The first 50 callers would receive a $100 dining savings card valid at establishments such as Longhorn Steakhouse, Olive Garden, Chili's Bar & Grill, and many more." I was told when I called to make a reservation for this event that I was part of that first 50 callers and would receive the $100 dining savings card. We attended the event where the salesperson claimed the company was a member of the BBB and had an excellent rating. He stated any complaints or problems were always immediately addressed. It was a high-pressure event and people were told if they did not sign up for membership that day that they would lose most of the benefits. He showed us a list that had many benefits to signing up and if signing up the next day or later, there was almost nothing listed. We do not like to make quick decisions and, especially, when we don't know enough about the company. They wanted $12,993 for a membership that was supposed to be for life with an annual fee that could be transferred to a family member if you passed away. On the info sheet it said, "Travel Destination International." I cannot find anything on line under that name. The sheet we were given for the "free" cruise lists Majestic Adventures on it with a website of www.majesticadven.com." When I go to that website, I can get very little information. To look to see what "free" cruises, etc. are available, you cannot get anywhere without making an upfront payment. We were supposed to receive, by email within 5 days, a gift certificate for Amazon. That has never been received. If you call the phone number listed, you get a recorded message saying you must go to the website and press the "contact us" button. You can leave a typed message there. The free dinner coupon is pretty much useless and does not include any of the restaurants they claim are available.

Agreed to pay via Apple Cash. Seller sent tracking details through fraternal logistics. Shipping website looks legit at first till you notice the phone numbers are fake. Went back to the group to report on the thread to warn others that the seller was a scammer. I was immediately banned from the group

Employment - Troopwhale

I was first contacted about a remote job opportunity through what appeared to be a legitimate agency, which led me to troopwhaleapp.com. The role involved simple app rating tasks, and initially, I was able to withdraw small amounts of money, which built my confidence. Over time, I was introduced to something called “combos,” where I had to put in more money to unlock higher returns. It seemed structured in a way that made me believe the next round would finally pay off. However, the required amounts kept increasing, and I found myself investing more and more. Despite constant reassurance from customer service and group chats showing others’ “profits,” I was never able to recover my funds. Looking back, the signs were all there — crypto-only transactions, WhatsApp communication, and overly polished systems. I was in a vulnerable position, and it clouded my judgment until it was too late.
