Investment - Crypto/Investment Scam

NHB Exchange claims to be a crypto futures trading website using AI. The trade signals are given via WhatsApp several times and the returns are large. You open up a trading acct on NHB exchange website. You can't deposit money directly to the website. You have to transfer crypto from another platform to NHB trading acct. For example, you have to send crypto from Coinbase to your NHB Trading acct to fund. Then NHB gives you future signals (sends trading signals thru WhatsApp) to start trading and they emphasize not to invest more then 20-25% of your total investment. For example if you invested $100,000 you would only trade with $25,000. The trades claim to yield 40-50% or higher. I made 500% in a month. When I tried to withdraw my funds I was only able to withdraw $500. The following week, I was able to withdraw $18,000. But my Trading assistant assigned to me from NHB exchange kept telling me to deposit more money to become a VIP and I would get 3 trading signals a day as opposed to 1. I agreed to deposit more money to become a VIP but Coinbase wouldn't allow my crypto transaction to go thru. I contacted my NHB assistant and they said that's a common thing Coinbase does and asked me to send funds thru a different platform, Trust wallet. I immediately tried to withdraw $70,000 out of my trading acct as I got very suspicious why they keep wanting me to deposit more money when I accumulated over $1M in my trading acct. My withdraw got rejected. I then tried to withdraw $50,000 and it says its status pending. My trading assistant said if I deposited more money to reach my VIP level that my withdraw funds would be released. I said, no I'm not depositing any more money and my assistant gave me an email address for customer support to find out why my withdraw was on hold. The customer service emails response was that since my acct was fairly new I needed to deposit approximately 12% of the amount I was trying to withdraw and my funds would be released in 30 minutes. Needless to say, I did not deposit any more money and to date I lost $241,500.

They were supposed to be made of crystal with an elaborate carved design depicting the 250 Anniversary of the United States topped with a Liberty Bell stopper. What I received was two cheap plastic bottles (smaller than shown in their add) with a decal for the design and a plain stopper that didn't even fit the bottle. When I complained to the company via email, they did offer for me to return the items, which they said would cost me approximately $80.00 or they could give me a refund of $15.00.

Incorrect information. They charge you $1 to print your vehicle report then $29.99 every month after. I was unaware of this monthly charge and does not show in my bank as a reoccurring charge. This charge is also hidden if you use the rocket money app. It will not show as a reoccurring transaction. The name changes slightly every payment. ( VINHISTORY US, VIN HISTORY US , VIN HISTORYUS). When you go to the website, the number listed to cancell, never rings, it hangs up right away. Live chat just gives you a website. I was able to find phone number; 385.452.4101. I called and was asked for my first and last name, she said she found it and verified my email address. Stated it was cancelled. I asked for a confirmation number she stated it will be in the email. I asked for it again she stated I should be recieving an email shortly and said good byeand hung up. The email sent to me states it was cancelled but no confirmation number. This company gives incorrect info on your vehicle. States mine was never in any accidents, 0 owners. Through carfax i was able to see it was involved in 1 accident and had 4 previous owners. This was verified through my dealership.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Service Issue

First the site is listed as non-refundable, which should have been my first clue; why is this even allowed. I placed the reservation and received no contact from the property owner. I went to the reservation within the time specified (check in stops at 11pm, I was there at about 8:30pm). There were people there but no one answered the door. I contacted the website's support, explained the situation and they explained how to contact them. I had e-mailed and then attempted to call the number but no one picked up. I contacted the support again, they said they would contact the property. The first time, after 45 minutes, they couldn't get ahold of the property. After I called back, they again tried to reach the property. The property required very specific instructions to be followed. I then followed them but only received a reply four days later. By Arizona and Phoenix, they were required to respond within 60 minutes. I had requested a refund multiple times because the property neglected to fulfill their part of the rental agreement but never received a refund.
