I have been receiving calls for over a month beginning at 8am EST every call has a different phone number and usually different area code. I have deleted blocked and reported each number as spam. Voicemails are often left requesting that I redial the number because there is an urgent matter and a complaint has been made against me. Other times the message is much more vague.
On 7/72026 around 8:45 am EST, I knew it was the same caller so I decided to answer the phone at which point I was told it was a company called Mercer Tanner, and there was a complaint filed against me and was asked if it was me they were speaking with even though the automated recording said either myself or someone that knows me could speak to the representatives. When I ask for a case number, there was not one when I asked for more information about the “complaint made against me“ there was silence. I was given a website www.mercertanner.com and a repeated name of the representative “Mike Anderson“ and a number I could reach him at 803-859-1662.
I did not give any information about myself to this person, and I will just continue to block the multiple numbers with different area codes and report them as spam in the future.

On July 7, 2026, I received a phone call from CNA Law Group at 1-877-487-8834. The caller asked if I was Norman Cannon, the son of William Cannon.
The caller stated that my father, who is now deceased, had left a sum of money or a will in my name. He then asked whether I knew the last four digits of my father's Social Security number.
I advised the caller that I was unavailable to speak at that time and would return the call later. Before ending the call, the caller provided me with a claim number: CL10732466.

Online Purchase - Mini dachshund puppies for adoption / Pet Scam
I found this account through Facebook for mini dachshunds for sale. I thought I did enough research into the account before reaching out about their information. They provided pictures and videos on the account of people picking up the puppies, in which are locations I could recognize locally. When I reached out to them, I did not provide where I was to see if it was real. They informed me they are in Emmett Idaho selling for $600. They required a deposit of $250. After proceeding I was informed they were taking the puppy to the vet for a final checkup before going to a new home. After that visit they told me I had to pay the vet $200 for endorsement papers, which I found odd. After the appointment they messaged me stating I had to pay $400 for rabies shot and examination, which I had refused to pay. I told the seller multiple times I DO NOT have this kind of money and have a baby I need to provide for. They passed this off for me. The day of delivery the guy messaged me stating there had been a family emergency and he cannot meet up for pick-up. He arranged for a puppy delivery system through Happy Paws Delivery for me to get the puppy. He paid for the delivery to get the puppy. But once they puppy got picked up I got an email with tracking information along with a message stating I needed to rent a thermalized cage for $880 due to the heat and that this payment would me 99% refunded. very suspicious. By this point I told them multiple times that I wanted to cancel and get a full refund as I don't have the money for this. I was fooled and manipulated multiple times about how the puppy is real and that him and his family take pride in their dachshunds and small business. Continued to tell me how I've proven myself to be the right fit for this puppy and proven my love and connection to her. He would state he would try to help me with the $880. I was struggling to get this, and he would only come up with $200 to "help" me which I found weird because I just paid him $600 for the puppy. and even after that cage payment I GOT ANOTHER message about needing insurance for the delivery for rent of $1500 which would be refunded after delivery as well. This is where AGAIN I tried to cancel and get my money back, but he would not let me.
I am at a loss for the love I had connected to this puppy from the pictures and sad to know it was fake and fooled for my mistakes. Not only that I but now I am struggling more than before for the amount of money I lost that I needed for providing my baby. I feel so stupid. I only proceeded from thinking I was getting a refunded and the power of manipulation this person had.
I have multiple pictures and chats saved on my phone if you would like this provided. I also have a report # provided from the report made to the police.

Phishing - Phishing Scam
I just reported the scam not too long ago, but as I reply to your email, it told me that you don't take it email that way that I have to do it this way. But I reported a place called this marketplace who called John the phone and told you that to lie to to say that you don't have health insurance to get 95:00 to $1800 a month from the government for free, and they get a kickback. I just thought that I know that there's a lot of people out there that will probably do that and steal from the government. I'm not a thief. So since I reported them to you, I've had nothing but phone. Call after phone call after phone. Call non-stop, like every 5 minutes. I think now it's gone into harassment as well

I questioned it as to why they don't use zoom, and why would they need to deposit a check into my account for devices that they are paying for.... I googled their address, but then I went onto the Better Business Bureau, I found no company listed as the IDgenomics located at Seattle, Washington and when I look at the business website, it said temporary closed, when I tried to call Ms. Brenda Stiles and Davis Tompson both parties have turn off their chat to offline....

I purchased an item on June 13 in which I paid an additional $8.99 for expedited shipping of 7-12 days. I have yet to receive said item.
I emailed on July 1 indicating my item has still not been received and I request a full refund. On July 2 they responded that my parcel has been shipped and with a tracking number noting it usually takes 10-15 days after shipment. I responded that I paid an additional $8.99 for the expedited shipping and there is no product. On July 3 they responded they are only willing to refund me $4.99. I asked for their rationale. They responded for me to wait patiently for my item. On July 5, I emailed again asking for a full refund. They responded they will only refund $4.99. I responded I will report the company as fraudulent. We are almost 30 days since I purchased this product with expedited shipping and I have zero product and they refuse to refund me anything more than $4.99.

I was contacted by a representative from Vigora partners after I clicked a link off Facebook offering to teach me how to earn money using crypto currency. First they ask for $250 usd to start then ask for another deposit to make trades with. Through the process it appeared to be working..The trades being made showed I was making a profit but he was asking for more money to trade with, when I started questioning the reality of this and requesting a refund to my account as he stated I could be refunded anytime, the rep Oliver Jacob’s became frustrated with me. I asked for a refund of the money I put towards the platform and he would come up with more ways to try and have me send more money. I have lost $20700 Canadian dollars in an attempt to make more and get myself ahead.

Ordered a few outfits. I received an outfit that was completely and totally different than what I ordered. Not even the same design or pattern. They just sent whatever they felt like. The other outfit was to have bell bottoms, which were NOT on the pants, and the onesie I ordered was to be a size 18-24 months and it’s totally a 4T. When reaching out to the company, they basically shrugged it off as it was my issue, offered a $3 compensation on a $90 order or if I wanted a refund I needed to pay to return the items. Buyer beware. Do not order from this company!

The scam involves having you invest money with the promise of a 30% reward on your investment. They lead you to believe you will become an employee and be sent materials with a set price per piece completed. That is not the case.
They lead you through this charade of small tasks that pay out $4 to $8 per task. Upon the last task, you are required to invest $100.00 and complete a merchant task to continue, supposedly to receive a code for a refund, a $500.00 VIP employee bonus, 30% of that amount, plus your original investment.
It is fraud because they never pay out the incentive. Instead, they continue to make you jump through hoops until you can no longer continue paying the requested investment fees. They build you up with small payouts in order to gain larger amounts through merchant fees.

I was advised that I will be given a free laptop and a work setup and that I would need to purchase a software for data privacy purposes. I was given a $960 check which then I was asked to download cashapp since the website https://www.blockchaindatamgmt.com/ only accepts payments via cashapp. I then transferred $900 from my bank acct to cashapp then the HR (SARAH GOLDBERG) told me she'll contact me again once it's done.

Counterfeit Product - Ellie Seattle
This was a pop up ad stating the company owned by two sisters were having a “Farewell Sale “.
Their website states ‘ELLIE SEATTLE creates timeless stained-glass animal lamps designed to bring warmth, character, and meaning into the home. Each piece blends traditional craftsmanship with thoughtful design, focusing on quality, durability, and lighting that transforms everyday spaces into something truly special.’
The pictures on their website made the dachshund lamp that I ordered look like a beautiful stained glass lamp and appeared to be a large size. However what I received was a small cheap plastic lamp that looks like a child’s toy and nothing like a dachshund. Plus it had a crack in it so I immediately contacted them by email with photos of the damaged lamp and said I wanted to return it for a full refund. They responded with an offer to refund 25% of the purchase price and I declined because I wanted the full refund. Turns out I would have to pay for it to be shipped to China and the cost of shipping would have been more than what I paid for this cheap lamp. In the end I accepted the 25% refund which came to $13.74. The total I paid was $54.95 plus a $5.50 tip which I added because I wanted to support a home grown family business. Little did I know that it was a total scam! The item I received looked nothing like the pictures on the website. I would attach them all if I could but it only allows one photo.
This is totally false advertising, and I was robbed!!

Hey Marcus Webb, I'm from Liberty Point Finance. I'm an underwriting and I did reach out recently, jumping in before the Independence Day weekend and Saturday closure. I just want to make sure that message actually landed. Trans Union and Equifax still have your file showing a pre-selection for a $40,500 hardship personal loan. No hard credit check, same day funding available, payments around $433 a month, and look. I know it's summer in July, now things get busy. I'm not trying to pile on. I just didn't want your pre-approval to sit in a voicemail folder and expire without you knowing what was actually in it. One payment, lower rate, cards back to zero. That's the whole thing. Call me back at 855-497-0198. Me or anyone on my team can pull your pre-selection right now closes today Thursday at 5 PM. 855-4970198. Hope to hear from you.

About a month ago I was contacted via email for a job offer but the email was actually from my junk mail but i didn't think anything of it because some of my deleted correspondence ends up in the junk file and I had reactivated my Indeed, LinkedIn, and ZipRecruiter notifications. so I contacted "Freight Metro Inc", Emily Slater HR Hiring Manager, via phone number and then through email. All onboarding for the job was done on the 4th and 5th of June 2026. On the 6th of June my first assignment was delivered by Fedex which was a"test package" to train me on how to handle and ship packages. i followed all instructions which were to check to make sure the package was in good condition and to upload pictures of the packing list and item without opening the manufacturer's' packaging. I received a total of 8 package throughout the month of June. As of July 6, which is supposed to be payday, attempting to contact a manager, accounting department and HR, I got no response. When I went to login to my work dashboard I wasn't able to login anymore. Kept getting a invalid username or password. I haven't changed anything as for a login credentials, I still attempted to contact someone even via phone call and I got no answer.

I saw an ad on Facebook and it showed a picture of several items and also a story about two sisters who after 11 years they were closing their boutique and everything was on sale. See attachment below. I placed an order on June 16 and didn't receive the items until July 1. I looked up tracking information when I was waiting for the items to be delivered and saw that the package was coming from China, so I did some more researching. When I received the items they didn't look like the pictures and the quality of the material was not good. I knew right away they were from China. I tried to find am phone number to call them but there was only an e-mail address so I e-mailed them and told them the items did not match the pictures or the descriptions and the material was not quality material. Also the only tag on the clothing was the size and i wanted nmy money back. Please see below the response I received from the company.
Thank you for reaching out and I'm truly sorry to hear the items didn't meet your expectations!
As covered under our 30-day money back guarantee, you are of course always welcome to return the items to our warehouse in Asia for a full refund. As outlined in our return policy, return shipping is at your expense and a $10 administration fee per item will be deducted from your refund. Depending on your location, international return shipping can be quite costly.
Since we're committed to reducing our environmental footprint, here's what I can offer instead:
Option 1: 100% store credit, valid for 12 months and usable on any item in our store.
Option 2: A 15% refund back to your original payment method, and you keep the items.
Both options can be processed within 12 to 24 hours. Which works best for you?

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product - The Ordinary *IMPOSTOR*
The website https://theoridarny.shop/ is impersonating a real skincare business, The Ordinary, whose real website is https://theordinary.com/en-us . The fraudulent site has deliberately tried to make their web address close to the real company's site address and has managed to get indexed above the real site on Google Search when searching "The Ordinary."
The fraudulent site appears exactly as the real The Ordinary online site, with their products, product pages, a functional shopping cart, branding, logos, trademarks, etc. The website lists The Ordinary's products as on sale, encouraging purchase from site visitors.
I only realized the site was fraudulent during checkout when my credit card continually declined in their system when trying to purchase $107 worth of merchandise. I have since changed my card numbers.
The impersonating site is an excellent dupe of the real site, and particularly dangerous due to its placement in Google searches for the brand's name above the real brand's website.

ORDERED TWO ITEMS FROM THE SITE - A CROSS AND A BRACELET. AFTER ORDERING, I REALIZED THAT THE BRACELET WAS TOO SMALL AND I CONTACTED CUSTOMER SERVICE FOR AN EXCHANGE. THE DAY AFTER, I RECEIVED AN ALERT FROM MY CREDIT CARD COMPANY THAT THE SITE TRIED TO CHARGE ME $29.99/MONTH FOR A VIP MEMBERSHIP, THAT I DID NOT WANT OR BUY. THE CUST SERVICE REP, DIANE, GAVE ME A LINK TO FOLLOW TO THE WEBSTORE PAGE TO PROCESS AN EXCHNAGE. I WOULD HAVE TO PAY 50% OF THE COST OF THE 'NEW' BRACELET AND SHIPPING. THE LINK TO THE WEBSTORE DID NOT WORK, GIVING AN ERROR SAYING THE STORE COULD NOT PROCESS THE PAYMENT. I COULD REFRESH THE PAGE OR TRY AGAIN LATER. THE LINK NEVER WORKED. THEY INSISTED IT WAS THE WRONG BROWSER AND I SENT THEM SCREENSHOTS OF DIFFERENT BROWSERS GIVING THE SAME ERROR. I ASKED FOR AND RECEIVED A SECOND LINK WITH THE SAME RESULT. THEN AFTER CHASING THEM FOR AN ANSWER, THEY PROVIDED ANOTHER EMAIL WITH A CODE TO GIVE ME 100% OF MY PURCHASE PRICE OFF WITH ANOTHER ORDER. THEY TOLD ME THEY WOULD NOT SHIP A NEW BRACELET FREE SINCE I DID ORDER IT, AND IT WAS MY FAULT FOR ORDERING THE WRONG SIZE. THE STORE PAGE DOES NOT HAVE A PLACE FOR A DISCOUNT CODE. THE CUSTOMER SERVICE REP INSISTED IT DOES AND PROVIDED A SCREENSHOT OF THEIR STORE PAGE WITH A DISCOUNT CODE BOX WHICH DOES NOT EXIST. ON THE STORE PAGE, THERE IS SOME SMALL PRINT BELOW THE BUTTON THAT READS 'COMPLETE PURCHASE' THAT SAYS THAT IF YOU DO MAKE A PURCHASE, YOU WILL BE ENROLLED IN THEIR MONTHLY MEMBERSHIP. I'LL BET NO ONE EVER NOTICES THESE MONTHLY CHARGES ON THEIR CARD SINCE IT IS NOT NOTED ON YOUR RECEIPT AND IS BILLED TO YOUR CARD LATER. THIS MEMBERSHIP IS ACTUALLY A PAYMENT TO THE WEBSITE TO GET ACCESS TO OTHER ITEMS TO BUY AND DOES NOT GO TO VETERANS. I TRIED TO CALL CUSTOMER SERVICE. THE COMPANY CLAIMS TO BE IN EITHER TEXAS OR UTAH, DEPENDING ON THE PAGE. THE CSR LINE IS A COLORADO NUMBER. ANOTHER SITE, PROVIDES A CALIFORNIA NUMBER. THE NUMBER DISCONNECTS THE MINUTE AN AUTOMATED VOICE TELLS YOU TO HOLD FOR AN AVAILABLE CSR. DID THIS MULTIPLE TIMES. HOURS LATER, AN ASIAN WOMAN 'MILA' CALLS AND LEFT A MESSAGE HOPING TO HELP WHOEVER CALLED. I TRIED CALLING BACK AND GOT DISCONNECTED AGAIN.
THERE IS NO BUSINESS CALLED THE HONOR UNION AT THEIR LISTED MAILING ADDRESS IN TEXAS. THERE IS A SECOND LISTED ADDRESS FOR 2023 Mountainview Ln, Logan, UT 84341, BUT THIS IS A SINGLE FAMILY HOME WITH NO REGISTERED BUSINESS. ANOTHER LINKED FACEBOOK PAGE HAS THE PHONE # (329) 214-0553, WHICH IS A CALIFORNIA NUMBER, WITH THE SAME HONOR UNION USA WEBSITE, AND THE NAME OF THE JOINED BUSINESS IS 'VETERANS AND K9S UNITED.'
