Debt Collections

A person who identified themselves as Michael Walsh from Steinberg and Associates wanted to collect on debt of $7500, from an account that is over 20 years old. They reported that they would take half now to clear the account. If I did not pay, they would then file a civil judgement against me. When I told him I was going to seek legal council, he became very angry and started berating me. They almost got me last month but it seemed a bit fishy, so I was waiting for them to serve me. Instead they just called to threaten me again. I googled the company and found multiple sites that reported this company and variations of it, as a scam. I will still be seeking legal council in regards to this matter.

I was originally contacted on Upward, and he asked to move the conversation to What's App. He said his name was Damiano Ricci. After a week, he offered to help me learn investment trading. I transferred a small amount of bitcoin to novinchtrade.com, and conducted some trades. I earned some profits and transferred the money back to my bank account. The following day, I transferred a larger amount, lost money in one trade, and when I attempted to withdraw funds and put them back in my bank, I received an error message twice that said my request to withdraw funds was rejected. The money appears to still be there on the website, but now it says "pending" withdrawal for over 24 hours and I have reached out to customer service and help chat and though the messages are read, received no response.

I purchased sweatshirts from shop.loyaltyunited.com after seeing an add they ran on Instagram. Supposed to be a clothing/apparel online store that helps give back to veterans. I figured it was a good thing to support. I spent roughly $75 dollar. 10 days later I received a charge from another website patriotdestiny.com for 49.95. My initial reaction was to just dispute it cause I did not recognize the charge at all but instead I found their info and gave them a call. There “customer service” picked up and I explained I had a charge and had no idea who they were. She immediately asked for my full name and last 4 of my card to refund the money. Naturally I had questions “who are you, how did you get my card info”. She started naming different sites that maybe I ordered from, that’s when I remembered I ordered the sweatshirts. I told her I ordered from Loyalty United. She told me they are the billing company for them. I let her know that I paid the day the sweatshirts were ordered and that payment was under loyalty united on my billing statement. Then I asked so why would there be a new charge 10 days later and why would it be under a different name now. She didn’t like that I had questions about how they obtained my info and what the charges were. She asked for my info again I gave her the last four of my card and she said they are putting the money back I asked when she said 3-5 days and then I asked what the charge was for. She informed me that I signed up for a subscription. I told her no I didn’t and what would a a subscription be for at the clothing store. She was annoyed I had questions, I told her she didn’t have to be rude because I’m trying to figure why my money was taken out. She then was even ruder while telling me she’s not being rude. To which I met fire with fire and she did not like that either so she hung up on me. I ended up having to call my bank and dispute the transaction and now I’m getting a new card sent to me. Funny part the sweatshirt says Be Kind on it this company was far from kind. Also I wonder if there is a way to check if a company is really donating back to the veterans if that’s what they’re claiming.

Online Purchase - Look alike online clothing site

I am submitting this report to warn other consumers about my experience with Curve & Bloom. I placed an order for clothing through this company's website and paid for merchandise that I have still not received. The tracking information indicated that my package was in transit, but it has not updated since October 4, 2026. Despite the lack of tracking updates and the fact that my order remains undelivered, the company continues to state that my package is on its way without providing me with a confirmed delivery date or satisfactory evidence of recent shipping activity. When I sought a resolution, I received an email from a team identifying itself as the “Dispute Resolution Support Team.” Rather than resolving the non-delivery issue with a full refund, I was offered only a 30% partial refund with no return required. The email also emphasized that pursuing a chargeback could involve returning merchandise to an international address, paying international return shipping costs, and waiting through a lengthy review process. However, I have not received the merchandise in the first place, so I am not seeking to return an item I received. I find this proposed resolution concerning because I paid for an order that has not been delivered, yet I am being asked to accept a substantial financial loss rather than receive a full refund. I am sharing this experience so other consumers can exercise caution before purchasing from Curve & Bloom. I encourage shoppers to research the company carefully, save their order confirmations and tracking information, and understand the refund policy before making a purchase. As of the date of this report, my package has not arrived, and my issue remains unresolved though the company. I did receive a full refund to my original payment method from my credit card carrier. I am submitting this report to document my experience and help other consumers make informed purchasing decisions.

I never before received potential scams directly through my mail claiming that it’s urgent to activate my factory warranty on my new car from Honda. I called the number on the letter 1-(888)-302-0021 to be informed that the call will be monitored but the voice recording sounded a little off. I proceeded to ask why I am receiving the letter I got in the mail to be informed about my factory warranty and what it provides for me. But I was then suddenly directed to their Financial Advisor about a qualified discount to which I gave my car information and my saving account I choose to pay with for me to suddenly realize and ask if this is an extended warranty. The financial advisor in question asked if I was even told that it was and proceeded to say that I was indeed not informed. I requested an immediate cancellation but hours later by the end of the day did I receive an email confirming my extended warranty anyways!

I even payed an additional charge to have it delivered by 1pm instead of the standard 5pm. The flowers never arrived. I called them at 9am on the 20th and requested a refund since it failed to arrive and planned on just taking her out to pick her on flowers. I was informed that there was an issue with the delivery and that it was remade and out for delivery again so they couldn't do a full refund but did refund the additional charge for the 1pm delivery. Her flowers finally arrived in the evening after 4pm on the 20th and was not what I ordered it was supposed to be red roses, white montecasinos, and eucalyptus in a vase instead she got a couple red roses with brown spots already starting.

I applied for a job on a website called BeBee for a Scheduling Care Coordinator position. I received an email the folllwing day from a Greg Evans who is supposedly the HR coordinator for the company asking me to reach out to him via Microsoft Teams to coordinate an interview. I did that and he messaged me back right away asking if I had 25-30 minutes to compete a chat interview via Microsoft Teams. He asked me to answer the following questions: FIRST SECTION Please answer the following questions: 1. Can you briefly describe yourself? 2. Are you currently employed? 3. What does keeping the Company Code and Conduct mean to you? 4. How would you rate your writing skills? 5. Do you consider yourself a team player? 6. What are three of your major strengths? 7. Describe a situation where you demonstrated excellent listening skills. What was the outcome? 8. How do you think you can contribute to our organization's success? 9. Why do you believe you're the ideal candidate for this project? 10. What resources or support do you need from us to deliver high-quality, timely writing? And also: SECOND SECTION: PAYROLL & WORKING SCHEDULE Please provide the following information: 1. How many hours are you willing to work per week? (Minimum 10 hours) 2. Are you willing to work flexible or long hours? If so, specify the time range. 3. When would you be available to start if hired? 4. Do you have access to an HP LaserJet printer, copier, and scanner? 5. What hourly pay rate do you expect? 6. Preferred payroll method: Check or Direct Deposit? 7. What is the name of your current bank, for payroll processing purposes? After I spent the time answering the questions, he asked me to reach back to to him via chat in 15 minutes to see if I was selected which I thought was strange but I did that. He tells me that I have been selected for the position and they would like to offer me $25.50 an hour and that they would email me an offer letter. He mentions that before training can begin (which he said was 3 days long), I needed to show receipt of all required equipment which was: - MacBook Pro (Intel Core i7 1.2GHz Processor, 256GB Storage) - New HP Jet Laser Printer - Microsoft Office Suite (Word, Excel) - Microsoft SQL Server Business Intelligence (for accessing our company database) - Peachtree Complete Accounting Software - QuickBooks Enterprise Solution (version 13.6) - Time Tracker software I tell him that I don’t have those nor do I have the funds for it. He says that they will mail me a check and that it has to go through a specific vendor. This is when I started googling this company and realizing this was a scam. They did send an offer letter which looked legit but the offer letter is asking for banking information and he kept pressing me to sign it immediately which I of course did not. After seeing other posts about this scam, I reported the user on Microsoft Teams and wanted to ensure that I got this information out to the public so no one else falls for this fake job scam.

On October 9, the business responded that some orders had been returned because of incorrect addresses and stated that those orders would be reshipped the following day. However, the business did not confirm whether my specific order was affected or verify my shipping address. On October 12, I asked whether I would receive a new confirmation email and tracking information. As of October 21, I have received no response to that message, no updated tracking information, and no product. Despite repeated attempts to resolve this directly with the business, my order remains unfulfilled nearly three months after purchase. I am requesting a full refund or the product.

Home Improvement - Nova Plumbing, Splash HVAC

In June 2026, we called for emergency help with an active water leak in our home that required opening part of the ceiling. The company's technician did the repair over two days. On the day the work was completed, the technician waited outside and pressed to be paid immediately. I told him I couldn't get on the phone for about 40 minutes and that my spouse had concerns about the cleanup. He still offered to charge my spouse right away rather than wait to discuss the bill with me. Under that pressure, we paid in full by credit card that day. The site was left messy, including a brush left in a toilet and drywall debris in and around computer equipment. In person and by phone, the technician told me the pipe had burst. He said the labor cost was high because of demolition and debris removal. This mattered because our homeowner's insurance does not cover "wear and tear." The written report he gave us contradicted what he told us. It blamed the leak on scratched, worn and "rusty" pipe (for a PVC line), then added a single line saying the pipe had burst. It never mentioned demolition or debris removal. A revised invoice split the charges into labor and materials, but the labor line read "Lab and chicken" instead of "labor." From June through October, I asked in writing more than a dozen times for a corrected invoice. I asked him to describe the burst pipe as he had explained it to us, explain the labor charges, and fix the typo. He agreed every time but did not follow through. He repeatedly said he had sent the document when nothing had arrived. He asked for my email address again several times and at one point asked me to write the text for him. In October he twice re-sent the same uncorrected invoice. Shortly after the repair, we had to hire a second licensed plumber. That plumber found the pipe had not been set straight and said the problem would quickly come back if it wasn't corrected. Their fix cost a small fraction of the original bill. That made clear the original charges were substantially above market rate, and our insurer has since declined to cover a large share of the bill for the same reason.

Same as reported by others. They sometimes admit that they are from a different state (I am in California). On the last call, they said that they were in Anaheim CA, which happens to be my city. ****** accent. Seems that they are just a referral group to contact contractors in various states.

Online Purchase - Wavy Hair Co

I ordered a Dyson travel hair dryer through WavyHairCo.com on July 28th. I got multiple emails confirming my order and tracking it as it came from out of the country. Then I got an email stating on 12 August that they had shipped the wrong order but were going to make it up to me by shipping the correct order and a special gift. That same day, I got another email stating that my new order had shipped. Also in that email was a tracking number. That was the last email I got from the company. When I click on the tracking button, it shows that the product was delivered on 6 Sept. But I never received the product. I have emailed the company and have heard nothing back. Their website now says "this store is unavailable".

Debt Collections - Ability Recovery Group

I reached out to the number listed to dispute an amount showing in collections. I reached the same representative (identified himself as Paul when asked) twice on two different days and also asked to speak to a supervisor to which he replied each time “he is at lunch you can leave a message on his voicemail”. I was transferred to a robotic voicemail but received a call back from THE SAME REPRESENTATIVE that answered the phone the other two times. The amount this company is trying to collect is double the actual owed amount to the school they claim to be representing (Walden University). I have a school invoice with the current owed amount which is 2,700. When I asked for a debt validation letter he stated “I will not send one. We don’t do that.” The call was supposedly recorded so this can be verified if need be. I asked how am I supposed to know how to rectify this without proof of the debt? He replied back with “I’m telling you the amount and you can pay over the phone.” I declined. I then reached out again today for a letter to be sent to me he stated that one was sent to the address on file. I let them know that the address he provided was not my address. I provided a current address and requested a letter. Paul then stated that he would “put in a request for a letter to be mailed”. I am currently waiting on a letter to show up. The amount they are requesting is incorrect and double that of which is owed to the school. I’ve also confirmed that I can pay my amount owed directly to the school. Request this company be investigated and disputed.
