Phishing - Phishing Scam - Zelle Impostor
I was trying to buy concert tickets from someone online. None of my money transfers were going through. When I finally got them to work, I realized that the tickets were fake. The person was trying to send me money back claiming they were using a Zelle business account to do so, and since my account was not a business account, they needed to upgrade my account to the business here. I got a call from customer service claiming that I needed to wire them money to increase the balance on my account and that everything would be paid back in full. They were just putting money on temporary hold. I did so because I know that this is common sometimes when opening accounts, but after doing further research, I realized that Zelle does not put money on hold no matter what kind of account you have this person called me multiple times asking for more and more money, each time saying that it would only take a couple more minutes and I ended up being on the phone with them for six hours and losing about $4000

Online Purchase - Fake Book Marketing Services Scam
"Social Media Networking Services" (aka Shalini Wheeler) cold emailed my father after he self-published his tiny biography through Amazon for his friends and family. They provided no services or products yet somehow kept taking money from him for over a year! Since my elderly father requested they Stop and Cancel, there have been at least 22 additional charges spread over three credit cards (9, 2, 1) and Zelle (10).
Social Media Networking Services (doing business through PayPal)
15 Hillside Drive
West Sag Harbor, NY 11963
They also use this address sometimes:
384 Wellwood Dr
Shirley, NY 11967-1328
These are the two main people who continued to bombard my father with emails, invoices, and phone calls to constantly confuse him into paying and/or put spyware on his computer (two months ago we found dozens of trojans, malware, and several remote viewing programs on his computer). I was sitting next to him and he got six phone calls from Richard Berman in less than one hour.
Richard Berman - [email protected]
Shalini Wheeler - [email protected]
From Google: “If you received an invoice, money request, or email from "Social Media Networking Services" via PayPal, this is a scam. Scammers abuse PayPal's legitimate invoice tool to send real notifications with fraudulent attached notes. Their goal is to frighten you into calling a fake "customer support" number or paying for services you never ordered.”
Here is the backstory: My *********** ******* father fell victim to fraudulent, deceptive schemes (cold calls/emails, string along with promises, deceptive tactics, constant billing with nothing to show for services and possibly even using spyware) from "vanity press" companies after self-publishing a book.
Social Media Networking Services (aka Shalini Wheeler) is the worst of the worst. They would usually charge just under $2000 so as not to raise red flags from the credit card companies or bank. Some of the emails from my dad to these companies go back up to 15 months asking them to cancel the service because he's a retired widower and cannot afford these constant charges. But they keep finding ways to say "we will but first you need to pay this extra fee" or "or the charges are split and you only paid half". He said each company told him it was a one-time fee to list him in a publication and/or promote him yet they keep charging him monthly or sometimes weekly for $1700-$2000!. When he kept telling them to cancel via email, they would then call him (no paper trail) where they would confuse him with sales pitches, claims, upcharges, or "we'll cancel after this one last payment" but they never stop asking for more money (or taking it somehow, he also had malware like trojans and remote desktop viewers on his PC but cannot say if that is related).
These charges are spread over all three of his credit cards and recently even Zelle transfers through his bank. We estimate the total is at least $35,000. Each one of the companies is listed as New York so that seems like interstate wire fraud though who knows if their addresses are even real. We are looking for help to try to get most or all his life savings back since he worked 50+ years to save it. My father has some paper trail of emails going back to summer of 2025 asking each company to Stop/Cancel/CannotAfford but they kept up. ** ** ** **** ******* **** *** * ***** ****** *** **** **** *** ******* **** ** ****** ** *** ******** ** ****** **** ********** *** *** ** ***** **** **** ******** I have been gathering documents for the case.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam
I placed an order for clothing on June 7, 2026, and never received the merchandise. I reported the issue and have been promised a refund since July. It is now late October, and I still have not received my money.
For months, I have been given repetitive, generic responses with no resolution. I have been more than patient, and I am tired of being given the runaround. There is absolutely no acceptable reason for a refund to remain outstanding for this long, especially when I never received the products I paid for.
At this point, I am demanding that my refund be processed immediately. I do not want another automated response or another explanation of your refund process. I want confirmation of the refund amount, proof that it has been processed, and a specific date by which I will receive my money.
If this matter is not resolved immediately, I will proceed with escalating my complaint to the Better Business Bureau (BBB) and reporting your company through the appropriate consumer protection channels.
This situation is completely unacceptable. I expect a meaningful response and immediate action, not another generic reply.

Advance Fee Loan
On Friday, October 23, 2026, I received two unsolicited text messages from SMS short code 32437 promoting a fake loan offer from a business calling itself "USA Loan Solutions." I have never applied for a loan with any such business.
The first text was addressed to "Christopher" (that is not my name) and asked me to verify my banking information at the link app.decisionlogic.com/8Y7DDF in order to confirm a loan amount. It gave 844-527-4545 as a support line. DecisionLogic is a legitimate third-party bank-verification service; the scammers appear to be abusing its legitimate verification link to harvest bank login credentials.
The second text, signed "Tavonn," falsely claimed I was having trouble with the link and pressured me to call back at 1-415-360-2828 right away, citing weekend urgency to create a false sense of urgency.
I did not click the link, did not reply to the texts, did not call either number, and provided no personal or banking information. I lost no money ($0 loss). Anyone receiving these texts should not click the link or call the numbers.

I purchased some crochet patterns online on the website feedingpaws-shop.com and I was charged for an additional purchase I did not make.
I was then charged $29.95 for a membership which I had refused during the initial transaction. I have now been charged $29.95 again. There was no explanation or email regarding the charges.
When I complained to the website by email, I received what appeared to be an email from a person named Chloe stating "I do want to be upfront with you: since this is a digital product that's delivered instantly, our policy states that digital purchases are non-refundable, and once delivered, we honestly have no way to verify on our end whether this happened due to a system issue or something on the customer's side."

Advance Fee Loan
Unsolicited SMS spam promoting a fake loan-application funnel for a business calling itself "VERFY" (website verfy.co). I never submitted a loan application, never gave consent to be contacted, and the messages are not addressed to me.
Two sending numbers were used:
1) Short code 34804 — sent messages saying "Your app was received" with links to verfy.co/t/#7moe53 (received 2026-08-23) and verfy.co/t/#7za7n8 (received 2026-10-23). Note: this form's phone-number field rejects short codes, so I entered 833-657-0821 as the scammer phone and am documenting the short code here.
2) +1 (833) 657-0821 — sent messages on 2026-10-08, 2026-10-22, and 2026-10-23 addressed to "Christopher" saying "Your app is available" with links to verfy.co/r/#9pw4yw and verfy.co/r/#9q10ey. My name is not Christopher.

On Friday, October 23, 2026 at 2:43 PM PT, I received an unsolicited text message from SMS short code 63376 (the form's phone field does not accept short codes, so I am documenting the number here). The message said: "Hi Christopher. Did you see your request was accepted? All that is left is to verify it. Proceed here: http://ifl7.com/CRVp925" The text addresses someone named Christopher, which is not my name. No business name was given in the message; the only identifier is the website ifl7.com, which is entered in the Website Used field. I did not make any such request, did not click the link, did not reply to the message, did not provide any personal information, and lost no money.

I am filing this complaint regarding Xian Magic, a business operating in Xi’an, China, for suspected fraudulent business practices, failure to fulfill a paid order, misleading shipping representations, and refusal to provide a refund.
I paid the company through Wise for goods that were never properly delivered. Despite repeated requests for legitimate shipping documentation, proof of shipment, and resolution, the company and its representative, Jason Ren, have provided inconsistent explanations, repeatedly delayed fulfillment, and failed to adequately substantiate their shipping claims.
After continued delays and unsuccessful attempts to resolve the matter, I formally rejected further shipment attempts and demanded a full refund. The company has continued discussing shipment arrangements rather than addressing my refund demand. Multiple written communications have been read or otherwise acknowledged without a substantive response to my requests for reimbursement.
I have preserved supporting documentation, including payment records, correspondence, shipping representations, refund demands, and evidence of the company's handling of this transaction.
I have reported the matter to financial institutions and relevant authorities, including Wise and Wells Fargo, and have pursued formal fraud and consumer complaints.
**I am seeking a full refund of all funds paid, not replacement merchandise, delayed shipment, store credit, or partial reimbursement.** I also request that the Better Business Bureau document the company's conduct, request a formal written response, and assist in obtaining a resolution.
I believe the company's repeated failure to fulfill its obligations, substantiate shipping claims, or address legitimate refund demands warrants investigation and consumer protection scrutiny.

This website says it gives public record reports, when you find the report you’re looking for it says it costs a 1$ process fee, I paid the fee thinking the website is government related, and it instead charges me 35$ multiple times, with no indication as to why and I never agreed to paying that amount. I told them it reporting them to the BBB and they instantly wanted to refund me and cancel my account. I am reporting this because it’s an obvious trap that charges people’s CC with an amount that is not given or agreed upon, and try to hide the charges from you as they never send a receipt for the 35$ or 1$ fee they claim to charge.

Woke up next morning to an offer in my email with several PDF attachments and an employee ID number. I didn’t respond thinking that’s strange that they never actually spoke to me but offer the position. Then I stated getting txts from hiring manager. I called the number on website and it never connects. Asked “hiring manager” to give me proof they are legit before I accepted the position. Could not provide me with anything. Asked for a video call and he responded that those can be faked and does not provide authentication.

They called my number, asked if i had applied on line for a loan i said yes. They stated they do report to the credit Bureaus. I asked for their address they gave me the correct address for Prosper Loans. I asked for their main number they gave me the number 628-688-7513. The gentlemans name was Mark Marshall and his Direct number is 415-488-6329. He put me on hold to ""talk to his team". As i was on hold i looked up Prosper Loans with the address and it pulled up on line with a different number of 866-615-6319. I also saw they were on Facebook so i pulled that account up and followed Prosper Loans on Facebook while i was on hold. I noticed an ad they posted about being misrepresented by scammers using their companies name. Beware of these scammers., on the Facebook site. So i went back to the call waiting from this Mr. Mark Marshall still on hold. He came back on the phone and asked for all of my personal information; my birthday, mySS#, MY ROUTING #,my bank account # to direct deposit the funds and i gave him that information for the loan and to deposit the funds. He said he would talk to his team and He also said it would all be done in about 20 minutes to deposit the money into my account once it was approved. He put me on hold again. I then got suspicious when he asked about Cash App and ensuring it was linked to my bank account. So while on hold i dialed the 628-688-7513 number, they answered, Prosper Loans, and i hung that call up immediately. Feeling safe they were legitimate. Mr. Mark Marshall came back on line and said i needed to pay $300 for an insurance to make sure if i didnt make the loan payments it will cover the loan. He said it will be their security for the loan since my credit score is so low. I told him i dont have $300. He argued if i just tap on add money since it was linked to my bank account and it will go through just add the money to my cash app and they will refund me the money when they send the loan for a total of $3,300. That way i will be refunded the money and have the insurance for the loan and i asked, would that change my payments of $110 a month for 30 months for 2.5 yrs as he had stated? He said my payments would stay the same the extra $300 would be a reimbursement for the insurance. I said ok I will add it to cash app now. I said let me add the money onto cash app. He said ok let me get back with my team and put me on hold again. I didnt tell him i already tried and it was denied bacause i had my bank card already locked just in case it was a scam. I then called the 866-615-6319 number on the internet for Prosper Loans LLC and asked them if they had a loan officer by the name of Mark Marshall working there i was on the phone with him applying for a loan and i got cut off. They checked my number and checked for an application for me and searched the name of the loan officer and said No, they do not have anyone by that name and i gave him the 628-688-7513 main office number he gave me and the 415-488-6329 Direct line number he gave me. The actual Proser Loan compay employee said those two numbers and that name are NOT associated with their business! They are a scam and for me to Please contact the BBB and report them immediately. I told him i would and thankyou. I hung up the call. It also hung up the call with Mr. Mark Marshall. I then immediately called my bank Sofi Banking and reported to them that he had all my info and i believe it is a scam . They flagged my account and are watching it closely now. While i was talking to Sofi Bank, Mr. Mark Marshall tried to call me back twice. I waited a little bit and returned his call. Mr. Mark Marshall was asking if i had added the $300 to Cash app or another app through iphones. I said i tried but it kept denying the money. He said so you don't have Cash App then, i said no. He than asked how was i going to pay the $300 for the insurance? He I told him just deposit the $3,300 into my account and give me the account number for my loan and i can pay the $300 back directly to the company for the insurance. I just dont have the money myself. He said tahts ok they hamany other ways to pay he can get it through one of ther other apps. He wanted to argue with me then asking How do i know you are going to pay it and pay back my loan? Thats what the insurance is for. I again repeated i will send the extra $300 directly back to the company immediately so thats the proof. He started getting upset, arguing again how do we know you are even going to pay the loan though!!??, i then said i think im going to wait and not do the loan at all. He still tried to argue the same question as before. I said have a good day sir he repeated have a good day too but how we know you're gonna pay the loan back that what the insurance is for, and i said again im not going to do the loan have a good day sir, he stopped, paused and said have a good day to ma'am. And i hung up with him.

This showed up on my credit card bill. I didn't pay a whole lot of attention since the charge was small. When I noticed it, I tried to contact them, but this is difficult. There is no email or phone way to contact them. I asked Chat GPT for a contact number, and was informed that this is a scam.

On a google search sit I had looked for a mini preloaded NES Nintendo game and the original amount (supposed to be in Texas) was $29.99 but I used Cashapp and noticed an additional 9.99 (so-called Insurance etc was charged and total came to $42.00
Then several days later they charged my account $39.99. They had a shipping site (supposedly) and then it says it has clear China for the USA. But it’s been almost a month without the product. I shut the card off and blocked further transactions. But the name charged on the Cashapp was Jomhome.com. (For all of the transactions. They got my home address and I paid through Apple Pay so not sure what info was gotten there as the Cash App goes through my Apple Pay.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
Main office received a phone call to verify listing information. When asked, she indicated that we already had an existing listing which in fact we didn't. Publicly available information was verified, and caller was directed to receive approval from Office Manager. She did not reach out for approval from OM, instead just sent an invoice to be paid claiming it was approved. When we advised that it indeed was NOT approved, Ann ([email protected]) pushed back insisting it was approved. When asked to provide proof of the previous contract/agreement for the exisiting listing, contract/agreement for this listing, and recording of the phone call, Ann advised she could only provide audio. Informed Ann that NO payment will be made until such items are provided.

Online Purchase - Glosritystore
On 10/12/2026 I purchased 1 (one) "Fire Breathing Dragon" with red/orange fiber optic strands Halloween lawn ornament. After the purchase, I IMMEDIATELY checked My online bank staterment and discovered that "Glosritystore" billed Me for 6 (six) of these @ $73.98 each, totalling $443.88. I contacted My bank within 20 min. of this SCAM. My bank representative filed a claim with their Fraud Dept. and stopped payment for the COMPLETE order. My bank statement still shows a "provisional" credit for 2 of the 6 items under review. I've wasted a GREAT deal of time to try to reach Glosrity for a return of the 2 items, which I received yesterday 10/22/2026 and erase ALL of these scam charges. Impossible to reach them @ their "support@glosrity" site as well as their bogus phone numbers. Additionally, the lawn ornament was COMPLETELY misrepresented (ie: FAR Smaller and LESS colorful/elaborate than advertised) and can be purchased at ******** for under $30. Although I consider Myself savvy regarding the signs/ "flags" of scams, I've learned to check with The B.B.B. FREE site for vetting purposes. Many other "watchdog" sites charge a fee and/or a subscription to perform background checks. BUYER BEWARE!!!

I purchased Pilates equipment from the company, and they gave me instructions on how to perform the exercises. They never told me that they would charge me $39.99 after the 28 days. I previously sent an email stating that I had a Total Knee Replacement and I wouldn't be able to perform the exercises. I've been calling and emailing the company to cancel my membership since I noticed the monthly charge on my account. Last month, I spoke with someone from Customer Service on the phone, and they said they would stop charging me in September. I looked at my account this month (October), and I'm still being charged. I have lost over $600.00. Any suggestions?

Identity Theft
I went to their site to make a purchase and noticed that everything was very reasonably priced. Clearly too reasonable because I dont think a lot of their products exist. When I went to checkout the website didn't process my payment, tried again and same thing. I called customer service to help and while I was on hold my bank alerted me of a purchase for a similar amount for a completely different site ive never been on. Even after waiting for 15 minutes on hold the customer service woman was incredibly rude and constantly wanted my information, instead of answering my actual questions. Beware of this site

I received a voicemail from a number 502-617-9447 stating the following, “Hi, we noticed a DJI Air Flymore Combo Order, associated with a $1399 payment. Please call us back or press one to speak with Walmart customer support representative and contact support if the transaction does not belong to you.”
I did not call them back, and checked my checking account and savings. No such transaction occurred, so I assumed it was a scam. When I googled the voicemail, it appears to have come up before. That said, it’s not a good idea to answer.

Online Purchase
I ordered from Fishneo. Fishneo used GOFO, a third-party delivery company. I waited and wsited, having received no notification of deliver. When I asked Fishneo where my package was, the directed me to the third party shipper, GOFO. The GOFO driver sent me a photo of the supposed "package" dumped on my building's lobby floor, not delivered to my door as per clearly posted signs.
I have no way of knowing of it really was my package in the picture. For all I know, they send pictures of fake deliveries.
Fishneo has given me the runaround and have even tried to scam me again, with offers of "discounts" on items I will never receive.
I have found Fishneo's Customer Service to be deceitful and dishonest. This company is highly suspicious and needs to be thoroughly investigated by the state Attorney General
