BBB Scam Tracker

This is from Gemini, and describes the pattern I was seeing. I applied to 260soulutions on Handshake.com and received a 'prescreening' interview questioner. About a week later I received an email " [email protected] Attachments Jun 2, 2026, 4:32?PM (22 hours ago) to me, paul.martinez Dear Carl, Congratulations! We are pleased to confirm your employment as a Data Entry Specialist with 0260 Solutions, LLC. Attached are your onboarding documents. Please review, complete, sign, and return them as soon as possible. Your supervisor, Paul Martinez, will provide your training schedule and onboarding instructions. He has been CC'd on this email and is available to assist with any questions. Please submit your completed documents through the secure onboarding portal: Secure Upload Link: https://www.0260solutionsllc.com/onboarding Access Code: ONBOARDING0260 We look forward to welcoming you to the team. Best regards, Human Resources Department Recruitment & Information Desk | 0260 Solutions LLC" Attached to the email were 3 forms, an 'offer letter', a Direct Deposit form with the Intuit logo, and a W-4. They did not include my state tax form. The direct deposit form asks for a voided check, which did not make since since I was being asked to upload the file, not mail it in with the check. I replied and asked for someone to call me. There has been no call, and from what Gemini told be below I will not be answering it if one comes. If I can be of any assistance, please call or email me. Carl Killough 520-534-5906 [email protected] ------------------------------------ Because "0260solutionsllc" is an entirely generic, fabricated corporate name used by bad actors, they do not just run one specific scam. Instead, they use this placeholder name across three main types of fraudulent schemes. [1, 2] The exact mechanics of how each scam plays out depend entirely on how they targeted you: ## 1. The Fake Debt Collection Scam (Phishing / Extortion) * The Pitch: You receive an urgent, aggressive text or email from "0260 Solutions LLC" claiming you have an outstanding, overdue debt. [2, 3] * The Trap: They will often threaten you with immediate legal action, lawsuits, or credit score ruin if you do not settle the account immediately over the phone or via a sketchy link. [3, 4] * The Reality: Real, legitimate debt collectors are bound by the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA) and must mail you a physical debt validation letter before demanding money. These scammers use fear to trick you into giving them your credit card details or bank account information. [5] * ## 2. The Remote Job Offer Scam (Employment Fraud) * The Pitch: You receive an unsolicited text or message on a platform like WhatsApp or Signal saying they found your resume on a job board. They "interview" you entirely through text and immediately offer you a high-paying, remote "Data Entry," "Package Inspection," or "Task Optimization" position. [6, 7, 8, 9] * The Trap: Once "hired," they tell you they are mailing you a check to buy remote office equipment. Alternatively, they may send you stolen merchandise to re-ship from your house. [6, 8] * The Reality: The check they send you is completely fake. They instruct you to deposit it and immediately wire a portion of those funds to their "approved vendor" for your equipment. Within a few days, your bank flags the check as fraudulent, the funds vanish from your account, and you are left legally responsible for all the cash you wired out. [1, 6] * ## 3. The Tech Support / Pop-Up Extortion Scam * The Pitch: While browsing online, your screen suddenly freezes with a loud, flashing warning claiming your computer has been hacked or contains illegal material. The pop-up tells you to call a number for "0260 Solutions LLC" or a similar technical support helpline. * The Trap: Once you call, the "agent" demands remote access to your computer using software like AnyDesk or TeamViewer. They "scan" your system, claim it is heavily corrupted, and demand hundreds of dollars via gift cards, wire transfers, or cryptocurrency to fix it. * The Reality: There was never anything wrong with your computer. They just used a basic browser script to lock your screen. Once inside your PC, they often download your personal files, passwords, and banking session cookies to steal your identity. [5, 10] * ## Common Signs Across All Three Scams * Grammar Issues: Messages usually contain odd phrasing, excessive capitalization, or urgent punctuation designed to induce panic. * Generic Email Domains: They will contact you using free, unverified accounts like @gmail.com or @outlook.com instead of a professional, matching business domain. * Payment Demands: They will strictly demand payment through irreversible methods like digital gift cards, crypto, Zelle, Venmo, or wire transfers. [3, 4, 5, 10] Which of these scenarios matches what you experienced? Sharing what they asked you to do or the message you received will help me tell you exactly how to block them and secure your accounts.

Although there is a disclaimer in a corner that it's not approved or endorsed by the government, the rest of the letter looks like an invoice payable by a recently deceased person, where payment is to be sent to: Property Records CA, PO Box 530, Norwalk, CA 90651

I purchased a sweater from Second Coat in their AstroKnit collection and was told that since it was a preorder, it would take 6-12 weeks for production and then shipping and delivery. However, there were no updates after 12 weeks. They ignored my emails and attempts to contact them on social media. They claim that they are shipping daily, but multiple people have been asking on social media where their order is. They have since turned off comments on Instagram, abandoned their TikTok, and made a new TikTok where they have been posting more clothes. DO NOT BUY FROM SECOND COAT. THEY DO NOT HAVE ACTUAL MERCHANDISE TO SELL.

I wanted to purchase a special and unique graduation gift for my granddaughter and I Googled; graduation gift for her. Sunflowerly was one of the websites that it offered and it appeared to have unique items. So, I ordered this particular gift thinking that it was a plaque that sits on a desk. Unbeknownst to myself, when it arrived it turned out to be a piece of acrylic. For $50 no less. I would not have paid for something that I could have put together myself. This is unacceptable for companies to be allowed such false advertising.

I asked them to cancel my order they sent me an email saying they would cancel it but charged me anyway I asked for my money back and they said no I gave them plenty of time to cancel now when I reach out to them they ignore me I am a Lawyer and they told me they scam people all the time and that’s how they make money

Tried to purchase a toy for my child without checking if kindcolor.com is a legitimate business first (I usually do). After entering in 3 different cards, and then subsequently getting declined, I did the research and determined that it's NOT a reputable site or business. The address they provided points to an auto mall. I proactively reported all the cards I used as stolen. Few days later, I get a call from American Express saying that someone attempted to use my now cancelled old amex number.

Memowrite is a scam. Haven’t used the service for six months. To my surprise they billed me $206 and I can’t get a hold of them. Everything is AI

I received a text message stating "Hi [my name], Lexi here from CSFI USA. I am following up on your personal loan request for $30,000. Txt END to opt out. Otherwise, do you have a few minutes now to talk? If you no longer need the $30,000 just let me know. You can also call us at (609) 762-0381." I did not respond and marked it as spam.

Voicemail requesting a call back. Said my account was billed in error for a non compliance fee and to have my merchant statement available when I call back. Caller ID showed the number as 609-657-3415. In her message she told me to call 855-482-8066, Opt 1 and ask for Angel L.

I called the number of the florist and identified an arrangement I wanted to send to a sick relative. It was $80 plus $4.95 for a full sized card and various fees to bring the total to $111.00 It was delivered today as requested. The recipient sent a photo of the arrangement.. It was NOT the arrangement I ordered or paid for. The one I ordered had at least a 6 roses, pink and peach with white margarites and perhaps carnations with small assorted green filler. The arrangement my daughter received has three roses, some limp looking mums, and purple statice, a cheap bouquet filler. There was NO full sized CARD with the order. I requested a full refund or delivery of the bouquet I paid for. They have offered $30 discount. I am angry with the bait and switch. IT looks like I sent a cheap bouquet to my daughter when I did not.

We received an email that appeared to be from Better Business Bureau stating there was a complaint against our business and to click on the link. It appeared suspicious so I contacted BBB and they confirmed that there are no current complaints and they did not send the email.

Person stated they are contacting me regarding a lawsuit

I purchased a lilly of the valley cross. What i saw on the website (picture) was nothing at all what I got. What I actually received was complete plastic junk.

Ordered four pairs of pants never received them. They sent me another tracking number and it said that was delivered as well, but never got that either and I ordered it back in April.

I got an email from lukas horak that Amazon Inventory Services LLC was looking for a remote Assistant. So i accepted the offer started working april 21, 2026 until this past week i realized something wasnt right i wasnt receiving packages and couldnt get into the control task system anymore. And i was supposed to get a papercheck for $2500 and I've never received it.

Final Notice for warranty for recently purchased apartment

I keep getting this robocall every 15 min starting when my business opens at 9 am until close at 5 pm. It started on 5/21/26 and is nonstop M-F to my business phone. I can’t get any legitimate calls. I just started my business and put up a Google Business Page to get clients. It is a different phone number every time (see below a list of 60+ numbers). I tried calling back and the number didn’t even exist. I have iPhone screen caller turned on. It is really killing my business because I can’t keep dealing with this which is screening out actual business callers. The message is always the same, the voice identical. I answered the call spoke to someone named Elizabeth. When questioned about where the headquarters is located, she hung up on me. I have pressed 9 to opt out. I delete and report as spam, but since the numbers don’t exist long it does not solve the problem. I added my business phone to the DONOTCALL.gov registry. This is clearly spam. “Your Google business account, our system shows a new search for your business via Google, and Google voice clients are currently having trouble finding you. Press 0 to speak with an agent immediately and verify your Google listings. Again, your business is not showing correctly on Google and Google voice search. Press 0 to speak to an agent, press 9 to opt out” A handful have the phone number 877-556-9255 to opt out. It is from a bunch of throw away numbers.

This company posted a job on indeed for a package handler position, essentially you get packages delivered to your residence, you have to open and take pictures of the items inside of them and then you have to ship them back out. The pay is $4400 a month. You don't get paid until the end of the month and then biweekly after that. This company will do everything it can to seem legitimate, from personal phone calls to filling out W4s and other paperwork. They require you to send a picture of your id and ss. They also call you from a (505) are code.

I ordered 3 tops from Hivebabe, an online store. The items were never delivered. I have repeatedly tried to reach out to the above company and do not hear back from them. I hope this helps other future customers from being scammed.

Complaint Against Famhose On May 18, I placed an order with Famhose for two hoodie sweaters. As of today, I have not received my order. A tracking number was provided, but it shows no movement or shipping activity. I have emailed the company multiple times over the past three weeks requesting an update on my order, but I have received no response. The phone number associated with the tracking information appears to belong to a different delivery company. When contacted, that company informed me that they are not responsible for my order, which has created further confusion and concern. I am requesting either immediate delivery of my order with accurate tracking information or a full refund. Based on my experience, I am concerned about the company's lack of communication and failure to provide reliable order status information. I encourage potential customers to research carefully before placing an order with this company. Order Date: May 18 Items Ordered: Two hoodie sweaters Issue: Order not received, inactive tracking information, and no response to repeated customer service inquiries. Requested Resolution: Full refund or prompt delivery with valid tracking information.

Tiffany Diaz emailed pretending to be from The Villa Group which we own our timeshare through. She said they were asking owners if they were interested in renting out their units for the upcoming FIFA and it would be taken from the back end of the contract. Sounded legit. All the paperwork and everything looked legit with the logos etc. She did say that for renting out the max of 4 weeks, it would be an income to me of $5,000 each week for a total of $25,000 but I needed to pay the maintenance fees upfront which would be a total of $5,025. She said a guy named Jason Costa would be calling me from Escrow Services LLC based in FL. He called me to give me instructions on the wire transfer. Something seemed off since the payee was Marina Bay Sands located in Kansas City, MO. I wired but then canceled because something didn't feel right. I wish I had listened to my gut. Jason was very aggressive in me wiring the money and I should've known. But then Tiffany called back and she really reeled me back in with her explanations. I mean these people are good at what they do. Unfortunately, I did wire the money against my better judgement. Then Tiffany calls me and says that my funds will be released the next day. Still nothing and it's been a week. Then I get another call from some dude named Mr. Garcia saying he is with the financial institution that is going to handle the transfer of the income to me but they can't do it because I don't have a Foreign Investors Registration which is needed to pay me since I'm in the US. He proceeds to call me 3 times yesterday giving me this runaround about how the escrow company tried to pay it for me but it wouldn't let them so unfortunately, i have to pay it and then they will reimburse it back to me in addition to the income. And the registration fee is another $4,200. Are they f-ing nuts? I was at this point like no freaking way and came to the realization that this was indeed a scam. I've now lost the $5,025 and probably will never see it come back even though I did call my bank yesterday to see if they could even recall the wire transfer. I've filed a report with the FTC, FBI Internet Crime Center, the Florida Atty General where the escrow company is located, and now here on BBB. I should've known better but these scammers are getting better and better at what they do. I really should've done more due diligence but lessoned learned.

I received the call at 1404 (or 2:04 pm) on June 3, 2026 according to my phone's missed calls log. The number left a voicemail, the caller ID appearing as Chickasaw CSOA, at +1 901-327-4193. The voicemail was a robo-call supposedly from a woman named Olivia with Walmart, telling me a large prepaid purchase of $2,000 was made on an account in my name for a MacBook and IPhone. If I did not want the purchase to go through I needed to immediately call the number 808-312-7016.

I had purchased a security program through the number and for $149. and now they would be taking $7000.00 out of my account sounded like from India. I did not call them back.

Called and left message on voicemail stating they were calling from Rosenberg & Associates. I needed to return their call to number shown on caller ID regarding my account.

I ordered an item online and never received it. The tracking information has the item going to the entire USA.

Purchased a hard-to-find nautical map from terraathlete.com. Website says located in Hawaii, CC says company is DFGERBH ALINKE.SHOP AZ. Once purchased, started receiving emails of confirmed order and then got crazy tracking number with item being shipped from China taking 30-45 days even though company appeared to be located in US. Emails came from a [email protected] email address. Item was never received even though tracking said delivered. Numerous requests to email sender requesting photo of where delivered and/or refund with no response.

Called me after I applied on indeed. Said that I was to receive packages and have to reship them after inspections. Promise of $4400.00 a week. Would not get paid until 30 days after my first package was shipped. I was asked to upload my ID and a picture of myself holding my ID.

Someone called me from 212-361-4081 claiming to be from Chase Bank. He said someone named Jessica White who lived in California, opened an account in my name and was attempting to use Zelle to transfer a $2,000 amount and a $3,000 amount from my account. I told the person that I didn’t have a Chase account and had never used Zelle. He asked if I had been out of the state or had used public wifi in the past 24 hours. He then tried to transfer me to his "supervisor". That is when I hung up. The same number attempted to call back twice afterwards. I did not answer.

Suitavia advertised a total of 4 pant sets for $30 on tik Tok I placed an order, i waited for the order for 2 weeks which never came. I emailed. The company they gave me false tracking number and delivery company, I emailed them again and was sent a false screenshot that my order had been delivered, I reached out again via email this time my email came back undelivered wrong email . Please stop this company of theft and fraudulent activities. Thank you

I purchased two eyebrow pens in a one time purchase. They came in a white box, in a white tube - no branding at all. Looks nothing like the product in the original social media ad. The next month I got 2 more pens. Checking their site, they had me set for a subscription (which I did not order). There is no place on their site to cancel a subscription. All of their help/support links are broken. I did find an email and emailed them 5x and received no response. I had to call my credit card company to dispute the charge and will then have to call again after the next charge to block them. Looking at their history, they have sold dozens of products under this name and seem to be popping up sites, drop shipping ***** **** from China or South Korea (hard to tell from the site) and then changes the site to another product after a time.

Nature queens said that they would refund me for a pair of jeans and a bag that they never delivered. But they did not refund me.

Nature queens delivered a cheaply and badly made garment that looks nothing at all like the pictures on their website. Then they refused to take a return or to refund me fully.

cell phone did not ring, but showed I had a missed call from ATT (951)981-3612- then a voicemail was left from stating the is Julie young calling because paperwork that a court summons filed form the Canadian Country Processors office was returned as undeliverable. To avoid any other failure to appear etc, you should call the issuing attorney Rachel Williams @ (877)316-0561 - contact her office for specific information including date of summons. I did some research and then I found this person's complaint. and I wanted to make sure I also said something. thank you

I made a purchase on may 19th, 2026 and I have not received the order. They did not answer any email o contact form.

This scam calls all the time- sometimes ten times a day.

I was hired by Northiva Express about two weeks ago. During the hiring process, I shared my bank account information for automatic payments and filled out a W4, which included my social security number. I also provide them my home address, email address and cell phone number. Since being hired, I have repackaged and mailed two packages for this company. My cousin did some research on them and told me today that Northiva Express was scamming consumers and employees. She said that they are already being flagged by the Better Business Bureau for scamming activities. I still have three packages from them in my home that they are expecting me to send out. I originally found this job on indeed.com. I applied and about two weeks later their "HR" department did a qualifying interviw with me. They then claimed they needed to do a background check on me, and shortly afterwards I was hired. I received my first two packages from them last week. I was hired with a 30 day probationary period and scheduled to receive my first payment of $4200 before taxes. I did question this salary in my head, but I had friends and family telling me that they heard of legitimate companies who do what this company was doing so that made me feel better. I also researched them myself and they appeared to be legitimate. According to their webpage they have been in business since 2010. And since I was required to open the packages I received that made me feel better because I could see what I was sending out. And the packages were being shipped via UPS, USPS and Fedex. All of this made this company seem legitimate to me.

Never received merchandiser, no email response

I sent my ID

DMd for opportunity to have my image used in art and asked for my name and address.

Send a post card said call imminently about my mortgage.

Roschic sent me a dress that was a cheaply and badly made garment that looked nothing like the dress in the pictures on their website. They then said that the return had to be made to china and would be very costly and that they could not guarantee a refund…because the package might not clear customs. They offered me $3 instead of refunding my money. It is a scam website from china.

Hi ********, Lexi here from CSFI USA. I am following up on your personal loan request for $75,000. Text END to opt out. If you no longer need the $75,000 just let me know. Otherwise, do you have a few minutes now to talk? You can also reach us by calling (205) 386-2616

This company approached me claiming to have found my info off of indeed. They offered me a job and I was desperate enough to accept. I was promised a base pay of 4,300 monthly. They wanted me to work for a month to receive the payment and stated I’ll be getting paid bi-weekly after my first paycheck. I’ve worked for over a month and was suppose to be paid on may 20th, however they just keep stalling the dates and I recently seen all the information about them online so now I need a new job. They had me receive packages and ship them through ups, $20 bonus per packages I receive at my address and a $100 bonus for package I drive to pick up. They sent me money through PayPal to keep me working but it was about the same I spent working for them. The address on PayPal is (43 Greenspan Nairobi 00100 kenya) they also has me sign a W-4 form where I provided my SSN, they also asked for a picture of my ID and me holding it. I assumed it was okay since the job is remote but I was wrong. This job is a scam and they will not pay you! I need to secure my identity now just in case they plan to use my name for anything.

I made a purchase using https://usapalletliquidators.com/. I haven't received a confirmation number because they are trying to make me make another purchase and send more money (which I'm not doing because it appears I've lost money already) in order for shipping to be free. I've requested via text 9152210809 with Asaah Jezreel and 3613669365 to either split the order (to make it two purchases) or refund my money back. Per the website 2 or more pallets has to be bought for free shipping and using Zelle takes $5 off for the payment procesing . I used Zelle and bought two pallets on one order. I haven't received a response from [email protected]. I'm simply asking for my purchase to be sent to me or my order canceled and a refund. Their answers are indirect through text or via email no response at all. In addition I've explained that I feel I'm being scammed and their reply was, I'm not being scammed. However, there's no motion to resolve my issue.
