Phishing

I have been getting random phone calls daily for over 3 months now with some company that has approved my loan - but I haven't applied for any loan. They continue to call from different numbers day and night, leave voicemails for me to call them back if I don't answer, and call from many different numbers...with the same message left, but different 'contact people' for me to ask for. I have taken their call 3 or 4 times and asked to be taken off their calling list, but they still keep calling. I've blocked them, but they call from another number. I'm recovering from surgery and need quite time. How do I get them to stop?

Hey, Chloe Morgan calling from Foxview Financial. I'm an underwriting and I did reach out recently. Getting to you early on this. It's worth reading before anything else hits your plate today. Trans Union and Equifax still have your file showing a pre-selection for a $41,380 hardship personal loan. No hard credit check, same day funding available, payments around $451 a month. And look, I know it's summer and in August. Now things get busy. I'm not trying to pile on. I just didn't want your pre-approval to sit in a voicemail folder and expire without you knowing what was actually in it. One payment, lower rate, cards back to zero. That's the whole thing. Call me back at 833-768-3180. Me or anyone on my team can pull your pre-selection right now. Closes tomorrow, Saturday at 3 p.m. 833-768-3180. Hope to hear from you.

I am trying to get teeth or dentures that you put in hot water. I ordered from this website Lynch Molly ([email protected]) and they sent me snap on with pellets and I can't use that. I have no teeth for a year, I lost a lot a weight & cant eat. I can only drink, and was hoping to try these. I have seen these on several websites but was looking for the least expensive because i'm not working and don't have much money and now they keep telling me im only going to get back 30% of my money and i dont think i should have to lose that much money. Here's a picture of what i was supposed to have gotten, the top is what they sent & the bottom is what I was supposed to have gotten. I keep saying I want at least $26.00 and they keep saying only 30% cause they lost shipping money and i have said i can send it back but it doesn't matter what I say they keep saying over and over 30% is all im getting and im stressed out about this plus all my other health issues. SO maybe you can get me at least $26.00 of my $33.00 i lost so i can try someone else. Karen P.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

I placed an order on 8/9 for $500+ on Ashley Bennett dallas site, but the payment was processed through a third-party payment platform (Whop). After a lot of waiting and confusing emails from them about tracking and how my order was not complete or pending, the Items were delivered 8/24 and did not match the color design or quality or fabric shown in the online product photos. I requested a return the same day I received the order — well within the company's published 30-day return policy. Since then, the company has: failed to provide a prepaid return label; sent a return form directing me to ship items to the United Kingdom at my own expense, despite the business presenting itself as based in Dallas, TX; and repeatedly offered a 50% "goodwill" refund in exchange for keeping the items, while providing scripted, non-responsive customer service replies to requests for an actual resolution. The business address listed in their policies (8687 North Central Expressway, Dallas, TX 75225) corresponds to NorthPark Center, a shopping mall — not an office or storefront. Other consumers report the identical pattern: misrepresented goods, a partial-refund offer to avoid a real return, and a UK return address inconsistent with the company's stated US location. I am seeking a full refund and have also filed a dispute with my card issuer.

I ordered a Deluxe Kit from Kind Science June 22, to try their products. Received & some of the kit contents I liked. July 23rd I noticed an unauthorized transaction on my credit card in the amount of $92.08. I immediately called their customer service number at 800-210-3379 & talked to a representative who explained along with the Kit I ordered in June, I was automatically signed up to a three month subscription. I apologized and explained I did not see that notation and only wanted to try the kit and to please cancel the subscription. The representative advised me it was too late to stop the first month payment and shipment but she will cancel my order and no more charges applied to card. August 22nd I noticed another unauthorized transaction on my card for $92.08. I went online to the Kind Science website and started a Chat to resolve this issue. Agent Jonna assisted and informed me the subscription is still active and will help me cancel but cannot refund my money. This agent told me that I was not fully aware on how this Deluxe Kit was a promotion that started a three month subscription. I was told my subscription is Now cancelled and I will not be receiving any more shipments but I will continue to be charged through September. I understand I did not see the subscription rider and am out the first $92.08 but I am upset about the new and future charges. I feel like I’ve been scammed and feel terrible about it. I was hoping Kind Science would be more honest and helpful.

I proceeded to say that I hadn't because I had just looked at my transactions earlier in the morning. He said that if it would be okay if he proceeded to close the account, which I said that it would be okay (at this point I already knew he was a scammer), This was his way to just ending the call.

Saturday passed then the next week came and my order was still just confirmed not shipped.

The seller provided payment information identifying the recipient as “Ryan Island.” After I sent the $260, the seller requested a screenshot confirming my payment and sent me a Deposit/Reservation Form and Transfer of Pet Rehoming Agreement. The documents identified Ryan Island as the breeder/seller and provided a Hobbs, New Mexico address and telephone number ***** ********. When I questioned why the seller had a Chicago-area telephone number, the seller told me, “Yes that’s my work number.” I called that number. A woman subsequently returned my call and told me that she lives in Chicago, does not sell dogs, and has been receiving numerous calls regarding this matter. I therefore became concerned that her telephone number may have been used without her permission. I reviewed the Facebook page more closely and observed additional warning signs, including approximately 2,200 followers but no normal customer comments or interactions on the posts I reviewed. I immediately reported the $260 ***** transaction to **** as fraud. **** opened a dispute, but I was advised that the ***** payment could not be recovered. I have reported this matter to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and reported the Facebook page to Facebook. The Facebook page remained active when I last checked. I am submitting this report because I am concerned other consumers may be asked to send puppy reservation deposits to this operation.

Government Agency Imposter

I was lead to believe it is a legitimate website and they popped up on Google search to renew my son’s passport and I filled out the required information online and finally paid $180 thinking all I have to do is take him for in person photo service and sign in front of USA post office that gives passport service. Next I know is it’s a scam. I received the passport DS-11 form filled out and sent it to me to go to post office and sign the already filled out form and make the required $160 payment for passport service. If I knew this, I won’t take their service. Their service is a scam
