Counterfeit Product - BuyGoods inc / Memopezil
I was led to believe BuyGoods is a legitimate company, but it has mixed reviews and some concerns regarding product quality and customer service.
BuyGoods, Inc. is an online platform that connects product owners with affiliate marketers, offering tools for sales tracking, analytics, and reporting. It also sells health and wellness products, eBooks, and software directly through its catalog (BuyGoodsSupplements.com) and acts as a payment processor for these transactions.
Fact Check: Don't trust ads claiming Bill Gates created an Alzheimer's cure called 'Brain Honey'
In May 2026, online ads and videos were again using Bill Gates' name to sell supposed remedies for Alzheimer's disease and dementia. The product appeared under name "Memopezil," but the pitch stayed largely the same, presenting Gates as the person behind a memory-loss breakthrough after I purchased these pills to obtain this supposed cure from BuyGoods
One website pushing the claim featured a video titled, "Urgent Message from Bill Gates to Every American Family Affected by Memory Loss," suggesting Gates was personally recommending the product.
We found no evidence that Gates created, endorsed or sold products marketed under names such as "Brain Honey," "Mind Boost" and "Memopezil." Rather, the ads and landing pages matched a familiar scam pattern of using Gates' name and image to draw people into long sales pitches for unproven supplements.
But his actions don't equate to endorsing a consumer product that claims to cure Alzheimer's disease. the above helped make the false ads seem plausible and I fell for them. So, I am requesting a refund for the almost $800 BuyGoods charged to my credit card. I am also working with Bank America to see what leverage they have for this resolving this apparent fraudulent transaction based on the information i provided above. ****** **** * ************

Counterfeit Product - La Salsa Market / Schylling NeeDoh impostor
I placed multiple online orders on May 30 for items advertised/sold as NeeDoh products. Before purchasing, I contacted the company directly through their chat service to confirm whether the items were authentic NeeDoh products made by Schylling. The company confirmed in writing that the items were authentic Schylling NeeDoh products.
After receiving the shipment, the items were clearly not authentic Schylling NeeDoh products. They differed from authentic products in packaging, markings, quality, and product details. I have authentic Schylling NeeDoh products for comparison, and the differences are clear.
I contacted the company requesting a full refund and offered to return the items if they provided a prepaid return label. The company did not respond to my refund request. Their website also states that returns are accepted within 30 days, and my request was within that period.
The issue is not simply that I wanted to return the items. The issue is that the products were represented to me as authentic branded merchandise before purchase, but the products received appear to be counterfeit or otherwise not authentic. I have saved screenshots of the chat confirmation, order details, photos/videos of the items received, and comparison photos with authentic products.
I have initiated a dispute with my credit card issuer and am reporting this to help warn others to verify authenticity carefully before purchasing from this company.

Online Purchase - Jennifer & John Charleston
I purchased two pairs of shoes from Jennifer and John Charleston.
They list their business information as 8 The Green, Suite A, Dover, Delaware 19901 Kent County USA. They provide a phone number and email address for contact.
They arrived later than expected and at the same time there were many emails saying they were arriving soon.
The shoes arrived in bubble wrap and a bag without any box and were crushed in shipping. The shoes had an ammonia/sulfur smell that was so bad, I had to leave them in the garage.
The shoes were nowhere near the correct size based on the order and the number stamped in the shoe sole.
They were poor quality and look unlike those shown online.
I phoned them at the number provided where a recorded message provides the email address.
They advertise a 30-day “hassle-free” return policy online and discuss making customers happy. The return, as others have mentioned, must go to there “Asia” location in China. You must pay for the shipping, and this costs more than the cost of the two pairs of shoes. I would lose money if I returned them.
There is also a restocking fee of 15%.
Following is the return and restocking policy:
Return Shipping
All approved returns must be shipped to our central warehouse in Asia.
Customers are responsible for:
- Return shipping costs
- Choosing a shipping carrier that supports customs clearance & gives a tracking code
- Any applicable customs duties, taxes, and handling fees
- Providing accurate customs documentation
Please note that Jennifer & John Charleston is not responsible for return shipments that are delayed, rejected, or lost due to customs issues, unpaid fees, or incorrect shipping methods.
Restocking Fee
A 15% restocking fee applies to all approved returns. This fee helps cover inspection, processing, and inventory handling costs.
The restocking fee also applies to:
- Unopened packages
- Refused deliveries
- Unclaimed parcels that are automatically returned to us
The intent is for the consumer to give up on returning the shoes.

Counterfeit Product
am filing a complaint regarding a travel transaction involving Flying Reservation Solutions LLC.
I had an existing Brussels Airlines booking under reservation reference BO6YPW. While seeking assistance with my travel arrangements, I was connected with Flying Reservation, which offered me a replacement Air Canada itinerary.
On or about April 27, 2026, Flying Reservation provided a written authorization document for the replacement Air Canada booking. In that document, the company explicitly stated that it would process a full refund for my previous Brussels Airlines booking reference BO6YPW.
Relying on this written representation, I authorized and paid approximately $1,369.60 USD for the replacement Air Canada itinerary. The replacement ticket was issued and I successfully completed my travel.
However, the promised refund for booking reference BO6YPW was never received.
After the promised refund period passed, I attempted to contact the company using the contact information provided in the authorization document, including telephone number 1-855-510-4098, but I was unable to obtain assistance. The company has not provided the promised refund or satisfactory explanation.
I have since contacted the airline regarding the status of the original booking and have been unable to verify that any refund was processed for BO6YPW.
I possess documentation showing that Flying Reservation represented in writing that a full refund for BO6YPW would be processed.

I attempted to adopt a puppy from a sight called Empress Labradors. I was immediately contacted and made a deposit for the dog. The next day I received, as I was told I would, a request for money for an airline appropriate crate that would be refunded to me after dog delivery. I paid the money. They will try and get you to pay it twice because the first time it “wasn’t entered correctly.” $980 bucks. You are then asked to pay insurance $1100 bucks. I called their bluff. They tried to hold the puppy over my head. They even called me. Refused to refund anything until I had the dog. They got very nasty in their emails after I called them out. Clearly a scam. There is no puppy. I reported this to my bank and I am posting it here.

I responded to a facebook ad for an new ai generated drop shipping system that was being given away for free as they were offering it for free to be able to prove that anyone could do this. They were taking just a few people for free each month in order to gather data and prove that any person could do this. First, it asked me to pay $67 for the domain, which I thought was reasonable for the Shopify store domain and why they needed a "human" to help (that was what they said in the ad). I got a text later connecting me to a coach who was going to help make sure I was able to set everything up for their automated system. There were a few bugs but that made sense since it sounded like they were starting up and working through the process, hence why it was being offered for free. I connected with my coach, spent a couple hours of my afternoon. He was asking me questions like well, this is going to go to my bosses desk, is that what you want on there? And forced me to answer a couple questions that I felt uncomfortable about, including providing personal information about my finances, my age, work, debt, why. He called me back later to tell me that I had been approved to work with them based on the fact that I had motivation and a reason for long term goals for making money and said he was going to help me get me some online business capital. I said what? what do I need that for? He then proposed getting me approved for $5,000 which would cover their costs to help me set it up, and the first $5,000 I would pay them back. He said it was for doing all their work, marketing, the tools I would need that they've already paid for. When I told him that the ad said it was all free, and that the ai system figured that all out and the ad said all the help and process was all free/included, he acted like he had no idea what I was talking about and said that my option was to proceed with getting some credit leverage, and building a budget with him, OR I could just try to figure this all out on my own. He also said that I needed to get approved before they could proceed and his boss would speak with me further but I'd "work out all those details" after he got me the funding and then I could talk to his boss

Caller claimed to be from the Columbus Humane Society. They said my missing cat had been found hit by a car. She allegedly had a dislocated shoulder which temporarily paralyzed her. That i had to give permission to operate and it would be over and done in about 2 hours(no mention of money thus far all seems legitimate). Also that I COULD NOT go to the humane society because they were closed and would tresspass me if i sat in my car while the surgery took place.(on google the humane society was closed the day they called so this almost seemed like it could be possible). They then asked if id be willing to go ahead with the surgery and that it would cost about $3k. I said yes do it and then they demanded an $1800 downpayment to begin the operation but provided no means for me to see my cat in person prior to payment. This phone call came from a private number. A second caller then spoofed the columbus humane society's number and acted as if he was confirming they are at the humane society. The original caller also sent, from the number reported(likely spoofed too), an image(screenshot attatched) of a cat that appeared to be mine, likely taken from some veterinary blog or website or veterinarian textbook. I kept them on the line so that i could get to the humane society to be absolutely certain they didnt have my cat. Over this duration they wanted me to use my credit cards to make payments via a qr code and some kiosk in a gas station. Upon arriving at the humane society i demanded to see the caller at which point I was threatened with being trespassed. When i brought up that there were other people there and again demanded they come outside, they hung up. All in all i kept them on the line for about 40 minutes, 40 minutes they wont get back. But they also managed to age me 40 days via stress.
Warning signs:
Did not pronounce local names correctly
Demanded a payment prior to a life saving operation(ie held hostage)
The minimum payment needed for the operation to begin kept going down when i said i don't have $1800
Refused in person verification
Became incredibly hostile when i first demanded verification
Demanded payments from a gas station kiosk, venmo, zelle, etc.
Mentioned cryptocurrencies
Hung up when i demanded they emerge from the building they claimed to be inside of

On 5/13/2026 William Doyle called and said another potential buyer was inquiring financing would let me know. Ruben didn't call back for 3 days. When Ruben reached out he was told another potential buyer was inquiring financing and they too failed to qualify for loan. At that point they sent video's of the car via email which expired the next day. On 5/21/2026 William Doyle & Ruben my husband came to an agreement on a price for the car including delivery charges and delivery of the car. On 5/22/2026 William Doyle sent a Bill of Sale for Ruben to sign, William had one of his associates Adam Crow signed the Bill of Sale as I did and emailed it back. On 5/22/2026 @2:30pm Ruben went to our bank B of A and transferred funds from our account to Arispe Group LLC their bank Column National Association Mercury/ at which time we had NO idea their bank was in Chico California. we learned this later. That same day 5/22/2026 we are now dealing with Adam Crow he sent the invoice and more pictures of the 1957 Chevy Bel Air Coupe. On Tuesday 5/26/2026 Adam Crow sent a picture of the vehicle being loaded into a 53ft. enclosed semi-trailer ready for delivery. Delivery date was scheduled for Saturday 6/6/2026 it was a NO SHOW! Ruben & myself made several calls with no response back from William Doyle or Adam Crow or the Driver letting us know what had happened. NOTHING!!! Sunday 6/7/2026 was the same waiting for delivery NOTHING! Monday 6/8/2026 William Doyle emailed Ruben with an explanation that the Driver of the transportation company was stopped & taken in by ICE so the trailer was parked, while waiting to send a new driver out to pick up the trailer & proceed for a new delivery date of Wednesday 6/10/2026. William Doyle stated in his email to Ruben & I we have the option of continue with the delivery date of Weds. 6/10/2026 or a Full Refund. Ruben & I let William Doyle know that at this point we had decided to request a FULL REFUND. Still NO RESPONSE from William Doyle proceeding with the refund request. As of today Monday 6/8/2026 no other response from William Doyle, or Adam Crow.

Online Purchase - LUMEN
Purchased 2 swinging chairs from Lumen in Tik Tok.
I started getting delivery notices, that it was on its way and out for delivery, then the issues with delivery began. I was getting email responses, at first from James, about the deliveries not being completed and now the updates have stopped and there's been no response to my emails. There's no number I can find for the company to call and speak directly to a person, and I have asked multiple times for a refund and am getting no responses.
Here's the events from the "delivery" company...
