First, this is a legal lead service which promised exclusive leads at $400 per lead and no charge until balance hits $1000. This was a lie! The leads get blasted to several lawyers and they charge you on the 11th of the month no matter if you have hit $1000. Moreover, they deny credit requests for fake contact information left by suspected leads. Furthermore, we have tried for weeks to cancel the service but are still receiving these fraudulent/fake non-exclusive leads. We cannot cancel in the portal so it states to contact our account representative who has been completely non-responsive to our several requests to cancel this service.

Online Purchase - Mabelle Veyn Maine coon Cattery / Prime sprint logistics.com

I purchased a kitten on Facebook, initial contact was Mabelle Veyn Maine coon Cattery, told me to send deposit of $400 to hold kitten, through Zelle, which I did. I was sent video and photos. I didn’t trust the seller, so I told them I would pick up the kitten. A guy named Vantel Atkins at the address I sent in Eugene contacted me, said his father just passed away and he had to go to N. Dakota emergently, and so he would have it shipped from Eugene to me, one state away. The shipper wanted $400, which was 100% refundable when it arrived. I paid it. Then they wanted another $400, I refused. I said I will come pick it up, a 6 hr drive. They are refusing and also refusing refund. No services were rendered. They apparently aren’t sending the kitten nor the refund. Thank you!

Rental - Property Rental Scam

I am writing to report that I was the victim of a rental scam that caused me to lose $2,100. I was searching for a home to rent using my housing voucher. I found a house that appeared to be available, and I was contacted by someone who claimed to be the realtor or person responsible for renting the property. Throughout the entire process, our communication was only through phone calls and text messages. We never met in person. The individual instructed me to send $2,100 as a security deposit in order to secure the home before I could move in. Trusting that the rental was legitimate, I sent the money as requested by Zelle from my bank. After the payment was made, I expected to receive the keys and move into the property. Instead, the individual became difficult to reach and eventually stopped responding to my phone calls and text messages. I never received access to the home, never signed a legitimate lease, and never moved into the property. I later realized that I had been the victim of a rental scam. As a result, I lost $2,100, and the scam also delayed my housing search while using my housing voucher. I am requesting that this incident be documented and investigated. I am willing to provide any available evidence, including text message conversations, phone records, payment receipts, and any other documentation related to this incident.

Government Agency Imposter - Aruba ED Entry Org

I went to apply for an Aruba Entry card and thought I was on a legit site. And maybe it is but I feel they false advertising, or do not provide adequate information and are misleading. Especially because afterwards I went to call them and have tried several times and they do not accept phone calls. I went to email them. There was a form on their website and there was “technical issues.” so I directly emailed them from my laptop and it had trouble sending. Finally heard from them stating they are looking into it ticket opened but when I went to respond, “had trouble sending” I am going to dispute this claim, which after you paid they have a disclaimer if you dispute they will fight it!! The nerve!! I just feel like ppl should know. My experience: I went through the whole process and at the end it said 1 traveler x $20.00. So I paid. I went to check my account and saw I was charged 100.00 - not until after payment it states that it’s not affiliated with the Aruba government!

Online Purchase - Online Pet Purchase Scam

I came across a ad on finding a home for a dachshund puppy. I reached out to the site they responded back. I asked questions how the whole process fees work. They said to only pay $350 for a rehoming fee. Thought this is a good price. I asked if theres a way to reserve the puppy. They said yes that i could pay $100.00. I told them that on the first of the month of August I would pay the rest once puppy was in my possession. They said Yes. So on July 31st they reached out to me if i had the money complete. I told them i did. So they wanted me to pay in full i told them i will pay a part and the rest when puppy was delivered. They agreed but now they are informing me that an agency is delivering the puppy and i have to rent a crate for safe delivery of the puppy. But that it would be refunded. I then reached out to the supposive party selling me puppy that i wasn't paying anymore fees that we're never discussed. They told me that it would be refunded. I then researched the supposive agency and the process thru Better Business Bureau saying its Fraud.
