I placed an order for 180.00 US dollars August 3. The shipment never arrived and there were no updates on the tracking number. I contacted Silix by email and after several auto replies from them I finally got one saying it seems your package was lost. We wil send out the replacement soon. That was the last I’ve heard from them. This was August 27th. They never sent me a tracking number nor did they say they shipped the parcel. They no longer reply to my emails. Their phone number does not work. Basically they stole 180 US dollars from me. Do not buy from this company. I keep seeing ads for them so they must still be in business. They are a scam

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam
On August 3, 2026, we paid The Coffee Sleeves $3,740.80 by American Express for an order of 60,000 custom coffee cup sleeves.
The original subtotal was represented as $4,676.00. We received a 20% discount of $935.20, resulting in a final payment of $3,740.80.
Our primary contact was a sales representative identifying himself as David Stock.
Prior to payment, communications were generally prompt and responsive.
After payment, we conducted additional research regarding the company. Our research raised serious concerns about the transaction and business, including our inability to locate a Google Business Profile at the company's represented New York address, our inability to identify an established social-media presence, the company's limited independent online footprint, and subsequent communications that we perceived as delays and stalling.
Because of these concerns, we notified The Coffee Sleeves that we were no longer comfortable proceeding.
We expressly requested:
1. Cancellation of our 60,000-unit order;
2. No further production or additional expenses;
3. A full refund of our **$3,740.80** to the original American Express card; and
4. Written confirmation of the cancellation and refund.
The company has not provided the requested refund.
Additionally, David Stock, who generally responded promptly during the sales process, has not satisfactorily responded to our refund demands and subsequent complaints.
We attempted to resolve the matter directly with the merchant before escalating it.
We are therefore requesting BBB's assistance in obtaining the following resolution:
Cancellation of the order and a complete refund of the $3,740.80 paid to The Coffee Sleeves.
We have documentation supporting the transaction, including quotations, payment information, emails, order information, cancellation requests, refund requests, follow-up communications, and relevant website information.
Our complaint concerns our actual transaction and experience. We are asking BBB to assist us in obtaining our money back and documenting the merchant's response to this complaint.

They followed through for a long time of texting and showing screen recordings from Ticketmaster including entering my name and email to the transfer section. When I asked to FaceTime call they instead sent a video that honestly looked so real of a young girl (called Barbara in this case) that said she would send the tickets as soon as payment when though. As this was a US concert and I’m from Canada I had no means to venmo etc but I suggested PayPal because I knew I’d be protected there but they said they would ask their friend in Canada, and they later had their friend send a e transfer request. This should have been red flag number one, they knew too quickly about e transfers but also I assumed maybe because they had their Canadian friend then that’s why.
I sent payment for the face value of the ticket that I believed to be $299usd. That was my second mistake, I should have only sent a small deposit. Then they actually sent a screen recording or then sending the ticket transfer to me and confirmation email screen shots of the ticket being sent to me. I was then to keep checking me email to accept the ticket,
They were very personable and personable and friendly and used emojis and also apologised about sending me the wrong day, they then asked if I had accepted the ticket and as I hadn’t even record it they said they cancelled their end and then resent me the correct day. But then I didn’t get it again. This was nothing new form tickemaster sometimes taking a long time, I’ve heard of this issue.
THEN they sent.crying emojis and a screen shot that ticketmaster had cancelled the ticket back to them scammer. The next message they had suddenly spoken to ticketmaster on the phone (it was too quick, this should have been my next red flag). They said there was a transfer fee of $150 to release them to just one person BUT if I bought all 4 tickets that they were selling then the fee would be waived. They wanted me to pay the fee.
I said I couldn’t, then stupidly I said I could pay less than half. So their friend in Canada sent me another e transfer request (friend was called ASHLE KIEREN STEHR in the email transfer request).
Then! And this was after I asked to FaceTime again because it was getting bad and I had a feeling then I was scammed, they said ANOTHER fee if $300 was due and that when I came to my senses. I said I could not pay and could I please get a refund. They immediately said yes they are asking their friend to do the refund. And of course it never came, and then I demanded a repose as to what the delay was and the kept the act up saying they were checking.
I left it and hours later requested again, and nothing.

Online Purchase - Zenith cannabis
I believe I am the victim of an online fraud scheme involving an apparent cannabis retailer, cryptocurrency/Bitcoin Lightning Network payments, and a purported cannabis consumer registration website that collected sensitive identity information.
The websites involved include:
https://www.zenithcannabis.com/
https://links.pd.cash/9426-nlm7v8ia
https://statemmcverify.com/patient-med-rec-registration/
I initially interacted with Zenith Cannabis and was directed through payment infrastructure associated with PD CASH.
I made payments connected with the transactions, including payment confirmations showing:
Approximately $120.00, reference shown as X18GTROSYQC7OFUI [verify exact characters against original evidence].
Approximately $300.00, reference shown as FO3AER794W6S52K [verify exact characters against original evidence].
I was also provided with Bitcoin Lightning Network invoices. I have preserved the complete original invoice strings and will provide them to investigators.
[PASTE FIRST COMPLETE LIGHTNING INVOICE HERE]
[PASTE SECOND COMPLETE LIGHTNING INVOICE HERE]
The transaction/payment records, including exact timestamps, amounts, and any transaction IDs available from my wallet or payment application, are preserved.
I was subsequently directed to statemmcverify.com, which presented itself as a cannabis consumer registration/verification process. The site requested sensitive personal information including images of the front and back of my government-issued driver's license/state identification and a photograph of myself. I provided these materials before realizing the operation may be fraudulent.
The State MMC Verify website also requested a purported "Refundable State Registration Fee" of approximately $299.99.
I believe this may be part of a coordinated fraud operation because the apparent cannabis seller and the purported verification site have multiple concerning indicators, including:
Zenith Cannabis displays California cannabis license C10-0000420-LIC.
California's official cannabis records identify C10-0000420-LIC with Gradus / Sherman Oaks Collective Care, Inc. in North Hollywood, California, rather than Zenith Cannabis.
The domains were registered recently.
Public technical records show both Zenith Cannabis and State MMC Verify currently using the same IP address, 35.215.109.184, and the same SiteGround nameservers. I understand that shared hosting alone does not prove common ownership, but I believe this connection warrants investigation.
I have preserved screenshots, website URLs, payment confirmations, Lightning invoices, and communications.
I am requesting that this matter be investigated as suspected internet fraud, cryptocurrency fraud, and potential identity theft.

I originally purchased the Magnesium Complex on June 22 but did not know this was a subscription.
On July 20 I received another order confirmation and emailed [email protected] on July 21 telling them to cancel the subscription.
On July 28 the customer service rep 'Jordan' said "I've noted your request to stop future refills so no further shipment is generated for August, and I'm getting that arranged with the team now. You'll have written confirmation from me as soon as it's done, so you have it on record."
On Aug 15 'Jordan' confirmed the plan would be paused so no new shipments are sent.
On Aug 17, I received another order confirmation, and on Aug 18 I emailed them to cancel the shipment so my card would not be charge.
On Aug 19 I received a shipping notification. I emailed customer service ('Jordan' who is likely AI) and asked for a refund for $87.84 CAD because of his error. This is a scam with automated monthly orders that steal money from customers.
The responses from 'Jordan' do not answer my questions or resolve the issue. He keeps saying the same generic stuff "A person is reviewing your plan. I cannot pause your plan from here" since July. Today is Sept 4.
I've explained the situation many times, he does not resolve the issue. I've asked for a refund several times. 'Jordan' is an AI and this company is fraudulent.
This is a scam that steals money from customers monthly. The product is not the correct brand, just a generic magnesium complex from "Toplux Nutrition".

Legacy Media Solutions has been calling my business repeatedly, often every day, regarding what they describe as voice search listings for services such as Alexa, Siri, and other voice search platforms.
During one of the calls, I told the caller multiple times that I wanted my business removed from their calling list. The caller ignored my request and continued asking whether I was the owner of the business. I repeated that I wanted the calls to stop, and the caller eventually hung up.
I called the same number back. A different woman answered and began reading what sounded like a scripted message stating that my business was not properly listed in voice search services such as Alexa and Siri. I decided to continue the conversation because I wanted to understand exactly what they were offering.
She verified that I was the business owner and confirmed my phone number. She then transferred me to a salesperson.
The salesperson told me that I was losing potential clients because my business was not listed properly in voice search engines. He asked for my business name, the keywords I wanted customers to find me under, and the geographic area where I wanted my business to appear.
He made the process sound like an application in which my business needed to qualify and be approved. After asking questions about my business, he told me that I qualified and had been approved.
He asked for a ZIP code and discussed how large of an area I wanted to target. I asked whether my business could appear throughout the United States, and he said yes. He also stated that they work with Canada and Mexico. I asked him to include as many relevant keywords and geographic areas as possible, and he said that could be done.
The call was disconnected at one point, and the salesperson called me back.
He then asked me to pay $199. I told him that I would not make any payment until I received a written quote by email so I could review the company, the service, and the terms before purchasing anything. I asked him to email me a quote and call me again in approximately one week.
He would not agree to do that and instead repeatedly pressured me to make the $199 payment immediately. He told me that I was continuing to lose potential clients and repeatedly gave reasons why paying immediately involved very little risk.
I explained that it is my company's policy not to make this type of purchase without first receiving and reviewing a written quote. Despite this, he continued strongly pressuring me to pay during the phone call.
I did not provide payment information and did not purchase the service.
I am reporting this because of the repeated unsolicited calls, the failure to honor my request to be removed from their calling list, the claims that my business is losing customers because it is not listed in voice search, the qualification and approval process, and the pressure to make an immediate $199 payment without first providing me with a written quote or sufficient information to independently review the offer.

Online Purchase - Vibram FiveFinger Imposter Website - Online Retailer Scam
This website appeared as an ad on Instagram. I purchased two pairs of shoes and they were to be shipped within 2-4 days. I haven’t heard anything from the company ever since and by doing further research I learned it is a scam company.

Employment
I put in for a data clerk entry job through indeed.com that paid $35 ph and when I got an email saying that I could be interviewed there were two separate emails for one person on the same email I received as well as no phone numbers to call to verify whether the company is a scam or not. Mr. Rodriguez said that I needed to click on a link and give some personal identification to his human resources department, but since there had not been any type of phone contact whatsoever, I was extremely apprehensive to give out any information so I just emailed the human resources department and never received a response from them whatsoever.

Advance Fee Loan - Business Loan Division
I have been received approximately 2-3 calls per day for the past 5 months from a variety of phone numbers, including the one previously listed and the following: 502-334-9592, 774-336-1855, 502-334-9101, 263-899-6353, 845-653-3304, 613-373-2044, 502-334-6061, 712-545-2417. They claim to be with business lending, reaching out because my business financing (which I have not applied for) is ready to be finalized. When I answer or call back, and ask any related questions - what bank are you from, where did you get my information, what terms do offer, what information do you want from me - they hang up. I have called back a number of times to attempt to solicit more information and/or demand that I be taken off their calling list, to no avail. The furthest I've got was on the 470-414-9115 number (Newnan, GA) - the person speaking told me her name was Ash Lee and the company "Business Loan Division" was located in California. Another time, I repeatedly called back on the phone number 712-545-2417 (Crescent, IA) after they hung up on me for asking questions. After 5 call backs, the number was disconnected.

Home Improvement - Millville Locksmith
I have good reason to believe this is another business in North Jersey masquerading as a bunch of local businesses which are nonexistant in South Jersey. These include Millville Locksmith and Maurice River Township Locksmith, assumedly others. I was denied 24/7 service by Millville Locksmith because “there are no technicians willing to travel from Trenton at this hour.” Then when I called Maurice River Township Locksmith, I was admonished for calling back (it’s a different number, mind you) and when I questioned if they are the same business or not I was hung up on after the woman on the line said this isn’t something she cares to deal with (I’m omitting the expletives). This is most certainly a fraud or scam of some sort, most likely tax related if I had to take a guess, but I’m no investigator so take that with a grain of salt. But just look up the addresses on street view. Not exactly businesses or “dispatch centers” as their multiple websites claim them to be. They’re apartment complexes. Additionally, I cannot find filings from the NJ Department of the Treasury Division of Revenue & Enterprise Services on these business's existence. So as far as I can tell, these companies do not exist and simply claim to exist. The reason behind this? Unknown.
