I purchased items from the website, which advertises a full refund policy. After contacting customer support by email to inquire about the return process, I received a response outlining my options. However, I was informed that I must return the items to an address in China for inspection before a refund can be issued.

Cognius.app advertises a 0.99 Cognition test. After paying for it, 3 days later they charge you $39.99 for a recurring subscription without any notice; they are doing it through Facebook ads. If you click on the website, it does explain it's business practice. If you type Cognius.app on Facebook, you will see hundreds of customers who fell for the same trap. Why Facebook allows this is perplexing, but I am hoping, with this report, like others, that this deceptive and fraudulent business will have to cease unless they clearly explain their business practice upfront in their ads. I have had to call my bank to have my card replaced. I was able to contact them and my bank to get $39.99 refunded but am without a debit card for 7 days. Again, with multiple people raising this deceptive practice on Facebook, this "business" should be forced to stop this deception.

Counterfeit Product - Online Retail Scam
Vexroan advertises on the Internet some beautiful Christmas items. One in particular was a handcrafted set of 3-D red wine glasses with a different Christmas scene on six different glasses. They were absolutely stunning and I decided it would be wonderful to have a Christmas luncheon with my girlfriends and give them each one of the glasses.. They sent me a box which I opened and they were cheap. 50 Cent white wine glasses with decals applied to the glass. Half of these decals were falling off. I could not believe the scam.. now that I think about it, they must have used AI to beautify their product. Beware.

A recent investigation uncovered credit card companies and major banks have violated consumer protection laws such as the fair credit billing act and fair credit reporting act. Because of this, these businesses are not allowed to collect on their accounts, meaning you are no longer legally required to pay back certain debt, and those balances will also be removed from your credit report.

He refused Google Meets and sent a picture or screen shot of an error code - the error code does not exist for Google Meets. He also wanted to make sure I was connecting on Microsoft Teams via a PC.

Advance Fee Loan - Phishing Scam
Since October 2025, I have received nearly 600 unsolicited prerecorded calls promoting supposed personal loans/debt relief. I have NEVER applied for a loan, answered these calls, returned a call, or consented to these solicitations. The callers continually rotate/spoof caller-ID numbers while directing recipients to recurring callback numbers using fictitious stories. Recent messages claim I have an existing “file,” that supervisors/underwriters have reviewed it, and, often lately, that numerous employees have repeatedly tried to reach me. This caller identified themself as "Dana, file processing" and offered an unsolicited $50,000-60,000 unsecured personal loan and to call before 5 because my "file" "hits 30 days today" and is about to close today. Other recordings use similar fictitious personal stories and loan approvals. I have preserved numerous voicemails, screenshots, dates, caller-ID numbers and callback numbers and have reported this to the FTC numerous times. This appears to be a large-scale, persistent robocall campaign, not isolated calls.

I tried to purchase a spinning wheel from a FB group called Spinners and fiber equipment marketplace. They asked for a down payment of $350. They wanted it sent through Apple Pay. They wanted a screen shot showing the money had been successfully sent . They continued contacting me for several days, and then wanted me to pay them between $600 and $15000 for insurance. They said the insurance payment would be returned if the package arrived safely. They provided me with a phone number that I called. The man who answered had a thick accent. It was unusual and I believe possibly African. He assured me the package was ready to ship as soon as I paid for the insurance. He even sent me a picture of the spinning wheel all packed up and loaded on a truck.. i finally listened to my instincts and did not send any more money. I am now getting no response back from them. I have screen shots of all the conversations and also numbers and e mail addresses. they sent. Please let me know what i should do next.

They are cheap wannabe knockoffs, again, that don't even look what is pictured on their website. They will do everything they can to deny their warranty to provide a refund.

Ordered what was described as an elegant evening dress. Product received was poor quality and not as depicted, material was like T shirt material. Customer service # message was not taking calls at this time, so I emailed them asking for a return label since they have a 30-day return policy 3 times, each time I got the same message that they are trying to make things right but no return label. When I said I would open a dispute claim with my credit card, they said they would refund me 50% and I could keep the dress and I would lose the CC claims, so their offer was better. I initiated a claim with my payment source and received a resolution after multiple emails and pictures were sent.

Phishing - Online Book Publishing Scam
1. On May 28, 2026, Heritage-Publishing sold me, the author, a blanket contract for $2700 to use celebrity images in my book about celebrities I met for which I did not have permission from the celebrity, leaving me vulnerable to a lawsuit. This contract was worthless.
I had written my book in the form of a scrapbook memoir about the many celebrities whom I had met over 50 years. I had my picture taken with a number of these celebrities. I needed to find a publisher who would provide me with copyright permission to use these images
2. The above contract clearly stated that there would be no surprises or hidden fees. It became evident that the above ‘copyright contract’ was useless because it offered no protection to me. On September 10, Heritage then tried to upsell me on a ‘trademark contract’ for an additional $4025 with wording which was obscure.
3. On July 28, 2026, Heritage developed a website for my book. They said the website was ‘free’. Later they said it would cost $5000 to ‘activate’ this ‘free’ website but they offered me a ‘bargain’ price of $1000. Further, the website used many celebrity images without permission, again leaving me liable.
4. Heritage promised by text on Sep 14, 15 and 17 to unpublish my book from the Amazon website . However my book is still up for sale on Amazon leaving me liable for a lawsuit for using celebrity mages without permission.

I responded to this email. I received a email response from "Marissa" in human sources stating that in order for me to be considered, I will need to contact her through Microsoft Teams. Next day 10/7/26, I contacted her through Teams and proceeded with the interview process. Yesterday 10/8/26, received an email stating that I got the job and within the email, there were 3 attachments, one was the "Official Offer for Employment", a copy of the W-4 tax for with holding taxes and a signed agreement that I had to sign. Unfortunately, I did not read all of these documents carefully and sent to them all of my information including a copy of my ID. After I did this, I forwarded the offer letter to my husband and he noticed some inconsistencies with the documents, there were miss spellings in the offer letter, the email addresses were not consistent, The Official email address is: raelcapital.com, however, upon reviewing Marissa's email address, It reads [email protected], notice the extra "s" at the end of her email, this is the part I missed.
I just wanted to let you know that, I check the BBB website 4 times for scams, but I could not find any. It wasn't until my husband reviewed the documents that I realized that I was scammed. I feel violated, angry and concerned that they might be trying to do this to someone else!

Employment
Scammer approached me with minute details of my work experience, possibly downloaded from LinkedIn, sharing a job opportunity. The email seemed tailored to my situation and experience. This is what the scammer said: “ It is a real pleasure to connect with you, and I am pleased that we have the opportunity to continue our conversation. kindly accept my apologies for the delayed response. My schedule has been particularly demanding due to the number of senior-level searches and professional candidates I am currently managing, and I wanted to ensure I could give your profile and our discussion the appropriate level of attention. Having now reviewed your background in detail against the requirements of the mandate, I was genuinely impressed by the strength of the alignment. Among the profiles I have been assessing, your background stood out particularly strongly.” The email then went on to share about a job opportunity. Then, it said, “ Once you have had an opportunity to review the mandate, I would value your candid perspective on whether the role resonates with your professional aspirations and the direction in which you would like to take your career. I would also welcome any thoughts, questions or observations you may have regarding the position or the application process. At this stage, it is important to me that the opportunity is not only a strong match from an organisational perspective, but also one that genuinely aligns with your own objectives. If, after reviewing the description, you believe the mandate is consistent with your aspirations, I would be pleased to guide you through the subsequent stages of the process. I can also provide guidance on how best to position your experience and leadership record against the requirements of the mandate, ensuring that the relevance and value of your background are presented as clearly and effectively as possible throughout the process. Based on my assessment of your background against the requirements, I believe there is a particularly strong basis for further consideration. I would therefore be very interested in hearing your perspective once you have reviewed the attached description.” On further inquiry, in the next email, the scammer asked for documents and said if I don’t have them, he would connect me with someone who can help. Quoting from the email: “ As the next step from your side, could you please send me the following documents, if you already have them prepared: Targeted Executive Resume Strategic Executive Overview Board Executive Biography Tailored Strategic Alignment Brief These are standard executive materials commonly used in senior-level application and assessment processes where the objective is to understand a candidate's leadership scope, strategic contribution, professional positioning and overall suitability for a mandate of this level. They will enable me to assess your executive profile comprehensively and, where appropriate, ensure that the stakeholders receive a clear and well-structured view of your leadership experience, policy expertise, strategic impact and relevance to the mandate before our discussion. If you already have these documents available, that will certainly help us move forward efficiently. If you do not currently have them, kindly do not regard that as a barrier. I can introduce you to a trusted executive-resume strategist whom I have worked with for several years. She specialises in senior executive and Board-level branding for global leaders and focuses on developing executive positioning materials that go well beyond simply updating a conventional resume. Her work is centred on communicating leadership scope, strategic impact, professional differentiation and executive-level value in a way that is appropriate for confidential senior leadership searches. One of the advantages of working with someone experienced in these types of mandates is that she understands how to structure and position a candidate's experience around the areas that decision-makers are likely to evaluate, rather than simply documenting career history.”

Phishing - Online Book Publishing Scam - Barnes and Noble Impostor
I found this business looking for a "hybrid" way to publish my children's book. They advertised themselves as a self publishing company that assists writers. Just what I was looking for....I owned my book, was responsible for marketing and sales and they helped me format/layout and obtain ISBN code, etc. I explained I was in the midst of health issues and other events that would not enable me to get this done in a timely manner and they assured me there were no deadlines. I asked for a contract, and they sent me terms and agreement and NDA - neither states an end date. But, when I was able to engage, it seemed difficult and I started realizing a bit of a language barrier. Then, he started always asking for my illustrations - I'm thankful I never submitted those to them (although they do have my writings). They started ghosting me and then finally when I pushed, I was sent to the compliance manager. We set up a phone call, which he did not attend and once he did call, 4 hours late, his phone number came up spam so I did not answer. He then ghosted me. This week I emailed and went to search for another number to call on their website. Unfortunately I found out the emails got bounced back and there is no longer a website. So, I paid them money and they gave me NOTHING!!

The website UnitedPassport.com mimics the official US Government website for passport renewal. It is difficult to assess that you are not applying directly to the US Government when you visit this website. The fee is high - and apparently they send you a filled-out application for passport renewal and direct you to go to the post office and then pay the actual government fee. You fill out information including: social security number and other identifying information, including birth date and place of birth.

"Mead Paper Corp" mailed us a past due invoice for products (Clorox wipes) we didn't order in the amount of $163. It wasn't addressed to a specific person (just our company name) and didn't list who placed the order. Both our Invoice # and Business ID was our phone #, that a legit business would not have an invoice # as your business phone number. There was a photo of the product and several product marketing slogans/details that a legit business would not put on an invoice. Invoice stated that product will ship after payment, but that it was also past due invoice, which doesn't make sense. The product was overpriced by $104.68 and was offered in an amount that doesn't exist.
