Both Luvodeals and Polrafasion tried the same scam one right after the other within seconds. Once on 8/1/26 and again on 8/7/26 and both sites for the exact same amount in 34.95. My bank right away recognized them as scam artists and declined the charge to my debit card. Luvodeals is located in Pomona, Ca. and Polrafashion is located in St. George, Utah.

Employment

I applied for what I believed was a legitimate work-from-home Package Specialist position with Track Freight Line Inc. Throughout the hiring process and while I was working, I communicated with individuals identifying themselves as supervisors, including James Battle ([email protected], (380) 227-3349), Ashley Martinez ([email protected], +1 (380) 234-1340 and (380) 226-6283), and Felicia Torres ([email protected], (380) 246-2416). I was instructed to receive packages at my home, inspect the contents, take photographs, repackage them, and forward them using shipping labels that the company was supposed to provide. As part of the onboarding process, I provided identification and direct deposit information because I believed this was a legitimate employer. I began receiving packages and uploading the requested information through the company’s online employee portal. After conducting my own independent research, I discovered multiple reports describing this type of operation as a fraudulent reshipping scheme. I also found a BBB Scam Tracker report involving Track Freight Line Inc. with similar contact information and nearly identical circumstances to my own experience. As soon as I became aware of these reports, I immediately stopped participating and have not shipped any additional packages. I currently have two packages in my possession that I have not forwarded. After I stopped participating, I began receiving emails threatening legal action, police reports, and other consequences if I did not continue working. These communications appeared to be attempts to pressure me into continuing to reship packages despite my decision to stop. I am submitting this report to document my experience and help warn other job seekers who may be targeted by similar employment offers. Based on my experience and the information I discovered through my own research, I believe this may be a fraudulent employment and reshipping operation.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase-Facebook

I should have known better, I admit that. But, when the ad stated that their product would “correct almost any vision problem automatically” I was suckered into buying a pair. I have had to wear glasses since I was 9 yrs. old to correct myopia (nearsightedness). After all, the website had testimonials from doctors and ophthalmologists (I later found that these were fictitious along with the “money back guarantee” that promised “100% money back.” I have yet to see a dime and it has been a month since I made my request. Lastly, the lying scammers promised a product of “high quality.” Well, I have had maybe a hundred pairs of eyeglasses since I was 9 yrs. old, and these are, by far, the worst quality eyewear that I have ever owned. They are flimsy, and actually dangerous, due to a sharp edge where the bridge meets the nose so that if I were to press down hard it would cut my nose (and I would have to do this often, because they fit so poorly.) I don’t know if the glasses actually “block blue light” but if what I have read so far is correct, the effect of blue light in the production of eye fatigue is highly overrated.. You are better off briefly closing your eyes…and while you are at it , take a nap.. The effects of sleep on the body, including the eyes, is tremendous and overwhelmingly positive!

Said the truck broke down, rerouted the packages. Said the shipping labels were damaged, had to go back to the depot. Said delivery attempted but they needed a signature. Next thing I know, delivery complete, without my signature. They keep delaying information, there is no packages, I think they delay the "packages" so it goes past the time I can stop payment and get the charge reversed.

Tax Collection - Tax Advisor Phone Phishing Scam

Over this past week (August 4-7th), People pretending to be with “American Tax Advisor” have contacted me multiple times under the names Emily & Ashley, regarding “tax balances or unfilled tax returns” and that it was urgent to call back. This number I was supposed to call back was always a different number than the one used to first call me and even differed between phone calls. I know this is a scam because the voice messages left by these numbers were the same A.I. voice regardless of it being “Emily” or “Ashley” and were so quiet they were barely audible, I needed headphones despite my strong hearing to hear the voice that left me the message. The contacting phone numbers and who to call back were different each time and included: (844) 658-2117, (877)-541-5718, (877) 351-6283, (877) 776-9668, and finally (833) 419-8310.

I asked for more info she told me to go to Telegram and she would give me more information. She had me do several tasks showing how easy it was to make money each day with their program. Then comes the money part and before you can be completely employed and receive a $500 bonus you have to then start putting money into their system and running it through bitcoin. I was the sucker I played it up until today. I have officially lost just over $1000 and I’m stopping the bleeding right now before they attempt to get another $2000 from me to “FIX “ the credit report with them to be able to get my final refund.

Other - Online Ticket Scam

This scam is a switch & bait. The company posted a fake American Airline ticket round trip from Tampa to DC for a discounted price of $286.00 per person. Once we paid for the tickets, they called us back next day stating that American did not have those seats available nor that fight and that we had to take an all together different flight with a different airline on different dates and at a higher cost. We also have to pay $360 in baggage fees on top of the $815 for the tickets. We are American Airline card holds and members so we do not pay baggage fees when we fly and we explained this to the agent but he didn't care. The agent sent an email and pressured my husband to confirm it all while still pretending to search for alternate flights for us. My husband asked if he could wait and let us call him back to see if our friends could pick us up in Richmond, VA instead of DC. We told the agent we will calll him back. During this time the agent booked us on a flight with Breezy Airline to Richmond and they processed charges to our credit card all before we could call him back to confirm anything. Once we called back to ask why did they book the flight without our approval, the agent said you hit confirm on the email, my husband explained he thought the email was to continue to work with the agent to book the new flight. There were no refunds and we could not make any changes to the tickets. We were stuck with two tickets that we never approved or wanted. I can only assume the agents at Best Ticket Fare are working for Breezy Airlines, using American Airlines as the bait to purchase tickets.

Employment - Amazon Imposter Employment Scam

They contacted me by text saying they had a job opportunity where I would commentate and rate products at Amazon for a commission and bonuses. That I would not have to buy anything. They assigned me a trainer named Emily Smith. She had helped me open up accounts on the Exodus, Paybis and Cash App websites. It was very sophisticated rouse working on legitimate websites. In addition they had a so-called social worker group called “Amazon work group 104” chatting with each other, teaching each other on the Signal site on how to operate the business and it seemed very real and convincing. They were always chatting in the background as I was being trained by Emily Smith. I chatted with them also and they answered back so that made it feel all the more real. She had me set up all the above mentioned crypto sites and was having me passed through the money I made on these crypto sites every time I did a rating session on products. I started at the introduction level. I would do 30 products get paid commissions and then pass those commissions to the crypto sites and then bring them back to the worksite. It was convoluted. I initially figured they were doing crypto mining, or something where it helped the value of their crypto. Ethereum is the crypto they used. Everything was going along fine until I hit a what they called a “lucky bonus” where you got a very large payoff for one product. They said it was random and happened very very rarely. The only trouble was on this large commission, you had to have more money in the workstation. They call it the workerbee site. Just as long as I got the balance up to the required amount (which was turning into the thousands) was the only way to get the payoff completed on the super bonus. . I fell for the Random and rear excuse the first time and covered the payment with around $500 of my own money in several payments. I primarily worked between this Workbee site that was on the Signal and Exodus crypto site.. Then I got a super bonus even bigger than the last one which Emily says “almost never happens”. Here is where they wanted $2100 to cover the bonus payment. That’s when I put the brakes on and got real. I started complaining to Emily that this doesn’t feel right. I am putting in more money than I’m receiving. I told her that this is feeling like a scam now. She said no it wasn’t and then she’s been doing this for years. She even offered “as my new friend” to give me a portion of the $2100 and I would pay her back after the transaction with a large portion of my commission. I told her that if she had all this experience in this business and was sure of the payout, why can’t she go ahead and give me the whole $2100. She finally said she would put up $1500 but would never agree to pay the whole $2100 though. She always left $500 to $600 that I had to pay. The other thing that was interesting was when the dispute started about making this $2100 payment, all the chatter from the work group that was always happening in the background on Signal stopped. Emily kept talking to me, but the chatter stopped. I questioned her about that. She had no good answer. She tried every angle to get me to put the money up, but I refuse and she finally stopped talking. I have also not talked to her since. I never got Emily’s personal phone number but do have a copy of all the communications and photos going back back-and-forth with the training on the Signal site. If you’re interested in getting it, I’ll be more than happy to get that to you if you could show me how to copy it off the Signal site. Thank you for your attention in this matter.

After the runaround, they tried 2 × 2 give me a 20% off, and then a 30% off and telling my I had to make pay all the shipping. If I sent it back. Then, I would be charged the shipping where they sent it to me plus my shipping and a restock fee.So by the time they finished with all the fees, I would only get up to thirty percent off of what it was anyway. I told them that I'll take the thirty percent because I know that it is a total scam.Now that I was very disappointed and that I would make sure that none of my friends or anyone that I know would order from them.

Debt Collections

A person called me, and said they with a company by the name of Walter Williams & Associates and that they represented a creditor that was attempting to sue me, but they could offer me a one time settlement for half of the original debt. She sent me a bogus looking "docusign" attaachment. I told her if this is a legit company, that to send me a secure link to "pay", of course she claimed that wasn't an option.. After blocking the "fake" email address & cutting all communication off, someone starting calling me leaving intimidating voice-mails along the lines of, " a complaint had been filed in their office, and the issuing agent will be reaching out to me @ my home, and or place of employment" & that I needed to call 855-636-0206 to avoid further action.

Debt Collections - Retirement Fndg Solutions Home Warranty Phishing and Advance Fee Identity Theft Scam

Letter received in mail by father. Father is 83 years old and did not recall any business dealings with the company. I called and asked for understanding. Company representative indicated that it was a home warranty company and the letter was a final notice. They indicated that if i didnt provide them with a routing number for checking to take $292 today they would 'redline' the property and cancel any home warranty. I asked for previous bills for this service showing where my father had used before. They would not provide and refused to let me speak to a supervisor saying they were not available. They said if i ended the call without paying that the home warranty would be canceled and the property "redlined". No indication of what that term means or its ramification.
