Online Purchase
I searched online for book publishers and clicked on what I thought was Amazon book publishers. I paid $950 for book publishing services. I submitted my manuscript and artwork. The company did not deliver a completed or publishable book. They only took what I sent and returned a generic manuscipt that reformatted my stylized hybird formatting and font styles into one font style that completely went against my instructions. They provided A.I.-revised artwork of my artwork, which did not require the team of experts they said they were using. They said the initial form was not necessary for me to fill out, then, a few weeks later, after the time they said the book would be on the market lapsed, they required additional forms and personal information to proceed with the publishing of the book. I requested a full refund after receiving no completed product, but they have not responded or issued a refund. I am requesting a full refund of $950.

A person contacted me via Facebook, and wanted me to be "their friend" status. The person was legitimate sounding; however their Facebook profile appeared rather suspicious. The person listed above went by several listed profile names via Facebook & Instagram, such as Julie Leach, Julie Leach Lie/Liar, and Government Agent Lizzie Gilbert, respectively on Facebook, Instagram profiles. I was contacted again, yesterday persistently by the supposed Powerball mega money Michigan winner, Julie Leach, in that a money giveaway was taking place and that I was blessed because today, yesterday(whatever), I was on their top roster as getting awarded $100,000. LEACH/Leech goes on to harass me on how I need to pay up between $150-$350.00, in order to NOT miss out on my opportunity to secure these time sensitive funds,and what would I then do with this money if I were to receive it? I became very skeptical when aka. Faker leach, forwarded me to a linked associate she sent me a Facebook link to her cohort Agent Lizzie Gilbert, whereas the FB profile lettering of said Lizzie Gilbert looked as if it had Cyrillic letters? Not sure. Luzzie Gilbert was persistent and harassing trying to obtain money from me- this individual texted my cell phone, yes....I was thinking this might be legitimately ok, whereas, I really made a huge mistake in sharing my address, age, photo of my face, phone numbers and birthday plus shared 2 phone numbers, and my personal emails as follows:******************* & *******************, Also, the cell numbers I possess now as follows :************** & **************. Im worried I got duped, scammed, and my information compromised!! Im worried they may come after me because I threatened to report their duplicity to FBI cyber crimes, law enforcement & Federal trade commission when I was cheated via sending 100s of $ in Apple gift cards.

Employment
There was an ad on Facebook for work at home position. The person, named Amanda Webster, had me contact her on Microsoft Teams. She told me alot of stuff that sounds good, and had me sign a paper for employment. No background check, just questions on Teams. I was emailed a check and told to mobile deposit in my account, to buy equipment for the job. I did as she said. Everything was so rushed. I hardly had time to ask questions, and i didn't ask much, either. I'm going to the bank in the morning. I believe check will not be good. She didn't ask for account numbers or SS. No background check, either.

This website poses as an online GLP-1 provider. They require PHI and PII in order to prescribe meds. However, you cannot cancel. I have tried to contact the company multiple times through email, their online portal, their website, and by phone. No one has answered. I can not delete my information, including credit card information, there is no way to cancel or talk to someone. Messages seem automated at best. I signed up for 1 month and have been charged for 2 months. The first month I received the meds. The second month, I received nothing, but a charge for $299.99. I have disputed everything with my credut card company and closed my Discover account due to this scam.

The website looks real, but the products are not from Charleston or the United State they ship from China. The shoes were sent and are falling apart, poor quaility, unable to wear "orthepedic" shoe as they are not. These shoes didnt arrive in a shoe box, they were in a crushed bag. When I contacted the company they said that I needed to pay 25 dollar to ship them back and then when they got them they would inspect and then later issue a refund. This is a total scam as they say you get 100% satisifcation, I sent pictures, and then after having this issue looked up the company and found others with the same experience. They know the product they are sending is not useable and are profitting off the "Company" saying you need to pay $25 to issue a packing slip to for a potential refund. There are fake reviews showing thousand of reviews and 5 stars and when I tired to add a review, you are unable to. I have been in communication with this fake company by email, but they are no help and just demand money to get a refund on a scam product.

Investment - Crypto/Investment Scam
I was reach on WhatsApp, the impersonator called herself Diana Smith, she spoke gently and kindly and introduce potential gains if I join their group. She started asking to invest in AZETHIOMax App and through out the process taught how to navigate to learn their platform. She even told me to ask for a loan with I did and so I brought my sons in it. We took supposedly 100K in combination. I was not able to withdraw any funds until I pay back the loans. We took personal loans to pay it back. We paid it through wire transfer, Coinbase. They even threatened me that if the matter escalates to legal action, a court may temporarily restrict access to assets registered under your name until the Academy's service fees are settled.
Any legal or attorney fees incurred during this process may be borne by you, in accordance with applicable laws. By the time I realized I was scammed.
I was pressured many times to pay the service fee and the funds in your account will be unlocked. Then you can repay the money you borrowed.
Then started explaining me because I trade on other exchanges, you do it yourself. When you trade on the AZETHIO platform, it's because our academy provided the trading signals for you. This was stated in your contract: you need to pay 20% of your net profit as a service fee. You agreed to this; our academy didn't conceal anything from you. This was a voluntary agreement. Now that profits have been achieved, you need to pay our academy a service fee, and our academy will also pay 60% of this fee to the AZETHIO platform.
In combination, I alone was in capital gains over 515,000, one of my son son over 350,000 in gains and my other son had 230,000. We had exceeded the 1 Million in Capital Gains and they did not allowed us to withdraw. Many times I asked them to withdraw from our capital gains but they insisted they couldn’t. We needed to pays over service fee of 73,388 dollars, and she was trying to help us with 40,000. But you can't tell anyone. I'm worried Mr. Emrys might find out.

I would give Vossilook zero stars if I could. This website is an absolute scam.
I placed an order and never received my items. They provided a tracking number that showed the package as “delivered,” but it was NEVER delivered to my address. No package, no proof, nothing. Just a fake sense of reassurance.
Customer service has been completely useless—no real help, no accountability, just generic responses that go nowhere. It’s clear they have no intention of resolving issues or refunding customers.
Save your money and your time. Do NOT order from this site unless you’re okay with being ripped off.

When looking on Facebook I saw a blue 1980 Camaro Z28 with 89,000 miles for $12,000 advertised on Autopowersportsales.com. Oddly enough the identical car was listed on another website for $10,000. The salesperson, Adam Dario 757-903-0177 said it was just a company copying their website. This should have been my first warning of something suspicious. We proceeded with my texting him many questions about the car and him responding quickly but with less than comprehensive answers. He said the car was sold to him from a widow who did not like or want to keep her deceased husband's car and had been "sitting in the garage since 2007." He said he had the car sitting in his garage since March of this year. He stated his mechanic performed a thorough inspection of the car and when I asked for a copy of that inspection, he avoided that and never offered me any documentation. I asked for pictures and he sent me multiple very good photos as well as a video he said he had filmed just the week before at his garage. He stated his company was J&R Auto, 789 Hermon Road, Saxe Virginia 23967 phone 434-454-7501 (which is apparently in coordination with Autopowersportsales.com) and uses a shipping company named Swift Global Shipping Experts phone 210-329-1700 (swiftglobalprioritymail.com). I did call this number and the person at that number did say they ship cars within the US. My cost would be $800 for shipping where they provide a tracking number and would have it at my home in Maine in three days at the conclusion of the sale. My total drive out price would be $12,800 where a down payment of half would be required once the invoice had been provided and signed and then the balance would be due when the car was shipped out. I told Adam I was having difficulty finding any Better Business Bureau ratings on his company or the Autopowersportsales. When I did look up J & R Auto I found many comments about them selling cars with salvaged titles and to avoid this business. I asked him about this and he said all their cars have a clean title and I could check them out on Facebook where I would see they have "Blue Badge Verification." That did exist when I checked on Facebook where they listed numerous cars for sale with testimonials and videos of happy customers. When I let him know the only Autopowersportsales listing I could find with the BBB was in South Carolina and not Virginia, he said the reason for that was again "other businesses copy our posts on line". This was the second time he made that claim. I then asked Adam if we could FaceTime so I could see him actually with the car to continue verifying this was all legitimate. He responded he did not have an I Phone which was why he made a video of the car.
This next phase is when I realized this was all a scam. Well into and close to wrapping up the sale, I was browsing the internet and happened upon the IDENTICAL Camaro on the Bring A Trailer website. Their information on the car indicated it had sold at auction in October 2021 and provided much more specific and legitimate info on the car. To my astonishment, that site had the IDENTICAL photos AND video that was much longer and more comprehensive. This was the EXACT same video Adam claimed to have filmed just a week before at his garage and these were the EXACT same pictures he claimed to have taken himself. CLEARLY the car he was advertising was not in his possession. I asked him to explain all of this to me. (Prior to my asking him this pivotal question, he was always very prompt in responding.) I have not heard a single thing from him since confronting him on what very much appears to be a total scam.
My recommendation is to AVOID the Autopowersportsales.com website on Facebook completely as well as J & R Auto in Saxe, Virginia!
