Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Streamyard.Com

All I did was give the company my email address and then realized they were not the company I was searching for. Somehow they took my credit card info and started charging me monthly fees. And again and again. The bank contacted me and we cancelled my credit card. What a lot of frustration Streamyard has caused me for no reason other than a "wrong turn".

Identity Theft - Identity Theft - Rogers Communications *IMPOSTOR*

**** ****** ******** ******* * ** ******* ** **** * ****** ********* ********* ** ********** **** *********** *** ** ********** ******* *** ****** ***** **** *** **** ******* *** ************* *** *** * **** ******* I originally received a phone call from Rogers offering me a deal that would reduce my monthly bill by approximately 30%. I was also offered a phone on a contract, which I was told would add approximately $10 to my monthly bill. I specifically requested a white iPhone 17 Pro Max. After approximately six days, I received the wrong colour. Instead of the white iPhone 17 Pro Max that I had requested, I received a blue device. Rogers/Fido contacted us by email and instructed us to return the phone. We followed their instructions and returned it to the address they provided. After the phone was returned, we were contacted and asked what colour we wanted. We requested orange. Approximately one week later, we received an iPhone 17 Pro instead of the iPhone 17 Pro Max we had requested. We also received the correct iPhone 17 Pro Max in orange on the same day. We were instructed by Rogers/Fido to return the iPhone 17 Pro and keep the iPhone 17 Pro Max. We followed those instructions and returned the iPhone 17 Pro to the address provided. The problems continued when we received our monthly bill. We contacted Rogers/Fido about the unexpected increase. We were told not to pay the bill that month and that the following month’s bill would return to the normal amount. Approximately one week later, we received another call from Rogers stating that we were required to pay the increased amount because three phones and plans were apparently associated with our account. We explained that we did not have those phones. We were then told to return the iPhone 17 Pro Max because that was apparently the only phone showing as being in our possession. We followed their instructions and returned the iPhone 17 Pro Max on September 4, 2026. We also filed a police report as we were instructed to do. We have also contacted the fraud department. ******* ****** *** ** ***** ****** *** ***** *** ***** *** **** ********* ***** **** ** ******* ************ ** *** **** **** *** ********** ** ***** ****** ** ******** ** **** ********** ***** ** ******* *** ******* *** *** **** ********* ** ******** *** ** **** *** **** ***** * ************ ********* * ** ********** **** ************ ** *********** *** ****** ******* *** ****** ******** ** ****** *** ******* *** ****** *** ***** **** ** *** *** ******* ** ** *** ***** ** ******* *** ******* ** **** ** *** ******* **** *** *** ******** *** ****** **** ** ******** ****** ** *** ********* ** ****** *** ********* ***** ******** ** ******** ********* **** **** ********** ** ******* * ***** ******* *********** ** **** ******** **** *** ***** ******* *** ********** ****** ** ******* * ***** ********** ** **** ****** ****** **** ********** ** ******** ** ******* ************ ** **** *** ******* ********* ******* **** ************ ***** **** ******* ** ***** ************* ** **** ******** *** ************ ******** ** *********** ********** **** ******** ********* ********* *** ******** ********** *** ***** *********** *** ****** * ****** ******* ** ******** *** ****** ** *** *** ** ********* ** ***** ** *********** ** *** ****** *** *** ******* ** ******** *********** *** ****** *** ******* *** ******** * *** ******* ****** ** ****** ******* ****** ************ ******** ******** ****** ****** ************ *** ***** ************* ********** *** ****** ********* ***** ** ********* ***** *** *** **** *********** * ***** ********** * ******* ******** ********** *** **** ****** **** ** *********

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I saw an ad on Instagram for the products this company was selling and took interest. I made a purchase via credit card online. The company kept pushing out the shipping/delivery date and eventually said I had a shipping label created with a “tracking number.” No hyperlink or anything where I can see the shipping progress. Furthermore I did more research on the website and it appears it is a scam including all of the social media advertising. I reported the issue to Instagram and the Cozy Rush page was taken down.

Phishing - Phishing Scam - Visible Impostor

A man called and said he was from my phone carrier, Visible. He had all of my account information and didn't ask any personal details. He said there was someone that tried to switch my phone to T-Mobile and said I should enact 2 factor authentication. He sent a code and I read it back. Afterward, I thought the code was suspicious and suspected a scam. I immediately contacted Visible to see if it was legitimate. They advised to change my password and lock the sim card, which I did. The scammer then was allowed to transfer my phone into a new phone bought with my credit card even though Visible was supposed to have a fraud alert and I did what they advised.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase

I ordered a 3 month supply of stress pills for my dog, only because they offered a full money back guarantee. I received a 3 month supply. Within less than 3 weeks, I was still on the 60 day trial when I received another package which I kept without opening. I immediately called them and informed them I had not ordered another 3 months. They replied I had marked a little box requesting ongoing subscription. I informed them that I would never mark a box allowing them any further use of my credit card. I looked at a copy of the form I sent in and lo and behold there was a box that held a pre-selected check mark. I informed the phone person that it was a mistake and I would even mail it back. I told her that the product was not working as claimed. I took a picture of what I had left from the first order plus the unopened package and said I would mail them back. She has not responded to me since.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I placed an online order with Auvvia for $46.16 using a credit card. The merchandise was never received. I reported the non-delivery to the company on April 30, 2026. Auvvia arranged a replacement shipment, but I did not receive the replacement either, although it was shown as delivered. On June 6, Auvvia offered me a 70% refund. I declined the partial refund and requested either the merchandise I purchased or a full refund. The company later informed me that the product had been discontinued and could not be reshipped. On July 12, 2026, Auvvia approved a full refund. I was subsequently told that the refund would take approximately 15–25 business days. I followed up repeatedly throughout July, August, and September because the refund was never received. On September 22, I was told that the matter would be resolved within 24 hours. It was not. After additional follow-ups, I sent a final written request for the promised refund and received no response. As of October 2, 2026, I have received neither the merchandise nor the promised refund. Auvvia's website identifies OKDRESSES INC in its Terms of Service.

Online Purchase

I entered into a written service agreement with California Book Publishers on August 4, 2025 for a $3,000 Publishing & Scaling Marketing Package. I paid $1,500 on August 4, 2025 and the remaining $1,500 on October 7, 2025. The package included multiple publishing and marketing services. The agreement also contained refund provisions if the agreed services were not delivered. During 2026, I repeatedly attempted to resolve incomplete performance of the contracted services. On September 2, 2026, California Book Publishers sent me a written email acknowledging that “some of the services included in your package have not yet been delivered.” In that same written communication, the company agreed to refund the full $3,000 in two installments of $1,500 each. The first $1,500 was supposed to be initiated within 24 hours, and the second $1,500 was stated to be initiated by October 5, 2026. I accepted the refund arrangement and cooperated with the company’s refund process. I was later provided with a secure webpage to submit the information needed for the refund. Despite the company’s written refund agreement, I did not receive the first promised $1,500 payment. I followed up multiple times after September 2 regarding the missing refund and lack of response. My payment records also show inconsistent merchant-identification information. My contract and FreshBooks invoices identify California Book Publishers, while my Chase transaction information contains the descriptor “WWW.SIGMATECH FL,” and a FreshBooks activity record states that “Sigma Tech Services marked this invoice as sent.” I am requesting that California Book Publishers honor its written refund agreement and return the full $3,000 paid.

Romance - Happy Medium Online Christian Dating Site and Service Scam

Miah Hubert promotes a dating database for Christians. She personally handles all applications, interviews, and reference checks. While her efforts to create a supportive platform are commendable, her organization and responsiveness throughout the process have been lacking. I was rejected after submitting two follow-up emails. I do not anticipate a refund, as she clarified that the fee covers the application and interview, both of which I completed. However, she claimed to have contacted my references, which she did not. It took over a month from my initial interview to receive any feedback, and I was told that "based on my email communications, Miah does not feel this would be a good fit for you." I sent two polite follow-up emails and was essentially told that I was not "surrendered" or patient enough. When I expressed my frustration and disappointment regarding her lack of communication and response, she became defensive and unprofessional. It appears she has overextended herself and may be struggling to manage her responsibilities. However, clients should not bear the burden of her organizational challenges. Her response to my concerns revealed a lack of professionalism and empathy. While I do not expect a refund, I hope sharing my experience helps others avoid potential issues with her approach, which at times can come across as unhelpful or dismissive.

I was attempting to pay a parking ticket through NJMCDirect. When I entered njmcdirect.com in my browser, I was redirected to njmcdirect.online, which appeared to be the legitimate NJMCDirect website. I entered my credit-card information because I believed I was paying my parking ticket. I did not knowingly purchase or authorize any software, subscription, or other service. After entering my payment information, I discovered that my card had instead been charged for Stay Secure software that I did not want or intend to purchase. I never received an email receipt, confirmation, or other notification explaining that I had supposedly purchased a software subscription. I also could not find any reasonable way to cancel the subscription or prevent additional charges. The charges appearing on my credit-card account are: - STAY SECUREAPP — $9.95 - STAY SECUREAPP — $19.95 I believe I was misled into providing my credit-card information under the false impression that I was paying a parking ticket, and that my payment information was subsequently used to create software subscriptions that I did not knowingly authorize. I am requesting a full refund of both charges, immediate cancellation of any subscriptions associated with my card, and written confirmation that no further charges will be made.

I received the following via postal mail. Besides the letter, they also had a check for me to deposit in the amount of $9,900.00. Once the check cleared I withdrew $4,900.00 as I was told which was to cover the insurance and attorney fees. I was to break it down into 2 blank envelopes. One was for $2,500.00,, and the other was for $2,400.00. Which left a little over $5,000.00 in my account. Then the bad news started. My bank contacted me and said for some reason the check wasn't playable. So now I'm overdrawn at my bank, with no money to pay my rent plus my house bills. I don't know what I'm going to do. I'm a Senior Citizen with no family to turn to!

I am filing this complaint regarding the towing of my husband’s vehicle and the circumstances surrounding the release of the vehicle. On [date], my husband’s vehicle was towed in the early morning hours. We were told by the towing company that the vehicle was towed because there was no parking permit in the vehicle at the time of towing. When we went to retrieve the vehicle, we were informed that payment had to be made in cash. The towing company did not allow us to pay by credit or debit card. We paid the required amount in cash because we needed to recover the vehicle, but no receipt or written documentation was provided confirming the payment. The company’s staff stated that there was no parking permit in the vehicle when it was towed. However, after the vehicle was returned to us, we found the parking permit inside the center console underneath piles of papers. The permit was in fact inside the vehicle. My husband would not have placed the permit underneath those piles of papers, which raises concerns about whether the interior of the vehicle was disturbed or accessed while it was in the towing company’s possession. We also noticed that the vehicle’s window appeared as though someone had attempted to gain entry to the vehicle or had tampered with it. This raised additional concerns about whether the vehicle had been accessed and whether items inside the vehicle had been moved. The towing company indicated that photographs were taken of the vehicle. However, the existence of photographs does not establish when those photographs were taken in relation to the location or condition of the parking permit. We have no way of knowing whether the photographs were taken before or after the vehicle's interior may have been accessed or disturbed. We are therefore requesting that the company provide the original photographs, including their timestamps, so that the sequence of events can be properly understood. We are not claiming to know exactly what happened to the vehicle or who may have moved the parking permit. However, the combination of the window appearing to have been tampered with, the parking permit being found underneath piles of papers in the center console, the company’s claim that no permit was present, the requirement that payment be made in cash, the refusal to accept card payment, and the failure to provide a receipt has caused us serious concern. I am requesting that the company provide an explanation of: Why the vehicle was determined to have no parking permit. Whether the vehicle was accessed, entered, or inspected after it was towed. Whether an inventory or condition report was completed when the vehicle was picked up and when it was released. The original photographs taken of the vehicle, including the date and time they were taken. Whether the photographs show the interior and the location of the parking permit at the time the vehicle was initially towed. Why payment had to be made in cash and why card payment was not accepted. Why no receipt or proof of payment was provided for the cash payment. Whether any damage to the vehicle was documented before the vehicle was towed. I am asking the BBB to document this complaint
