I was contacted through my school email on outlook about a job opportunity that I could do from home. It was described as a personal virtual assistant position that would pay $450/week. I was asked to provide my name, phone number, and email. I provided those things and I received the email I have attached at the bottom. I sent him the requested information. He then asked me to sign into my bank account and set up the mobile deposit feature. I tried but couldn’t figure out how to do it. He then said it would be okay and that I could go to the bank and deposit it there. I told I wasn’t able to at the moment. He then asked if I wanted to complete a quick “task” in the meantime and had me put $100 into my Apple wallet. I was told to send the money to one of his orphanages, and stupidly enough, I did. After that he asked me to buy $100 worth of bitcoin on Cash App and had me transfer it to an account. I unfortunately did that as well. He then said he would send me $500 dollars for reimbursement and extra money to use on other “tasks”. When he claimed he transferred it he said there was a hold on my account and that I needed to contact Cash App support. I received serval messages that claimed to be Cash App and they had 4 different phone numbers too contact support. The numbers are as follows, 1 (786) 503-2842, 1 (380) 215-6812, 1 19166015250, 1 (808) 219-4124. I then became very suspicious of the whole situation and it began to dawn on me that this is probably a big scam. I then looked up Cash App’s real support phone number and contacted them and they informed me that I fact was a scam.

Phishing - Venmo imposter

I got four back to back calls from four different numbers. The first two were from Fayetteville, AR. The second two were from Ocean Springs, MS. They all called back to back immediately once I would reject their call and they all left a voicemail stating that they detected a sign in attempt from an unrecognized device on my Venmo account and that I would need to secure my account. I could hear in the first voicemail the person actively pressing one of the dial pad numbers. The first number was (479) 283-6380 and shows it belongs to someone named Luis Martinez. The second number was (479) 404-9080 and shows it belongs to someone named Rand Waddoups. The third number was (228) 235-2903 and shows it belongs to someone named Lester Murphy. The fourth number was (228) 334-8510 and shows it belongs to someone named Brian Chesser. They are obviously scammers trying to take advantage of people to steal their money by getting in to their Venmo accounts.

Online Purchase - Mary & Susan Savannah

While the website and appears legitimate and based in the US, the shipping comes out of China. Tracking this order showed three different shipping numbers, each one becoming increasingly more difficult to truly track. When I initially inquired about cancelling this order and having it refunded, I used their "form" I receive prompt responses, but no other information. I have daily sought out to receive return information and have been ignored. Bad on me for not researching this further before purchase, however, with the number of complaints I've seen I'm surprised they haven't been shut down.

I ordered a tee shirt. They said it was shipped. I never received it. I contacted the company and discovered the address I gave was different than the shipping label. I tried repeatedly to contact them but kept getting the same reply that it was shipping to the address given. They sent a picture of the shipping label and it was clearly wrong but they continue to say it was shipped to the address provided. I sent them a picture of my order confirmation with my correct address but still denied it.

Employment - handmade

I saw an add on instagram for work from home assembly for small tasks. I reached out, and I got a message back on facebook messenger. I then started contacting through text to Angela Irene at 615-207-2526 about the position. I have the text thread and all I was advised on was assembly of ink pens at home. I was advised by her on 7/15/26 that the next day I would join a chat on telegram app on the shipping of my supplies. That's when it turned. For one I could not access the chat and no one discussed a thing about the supplies I would be receiving to complete the work at home assembly they advertised. Apparently they are asking for the workers to go onto their site Handmade at ceda3rvale51.com and purchase items by transferring money into bitcoin to make the purchase then they are to refund it back to you with additional money. I advised several people that I was applying for the assembly position and what did the transferring of monies have to do with the position. I currently have a full time job, I was looking for something that both I and my neighbor could possibly do from home for additional income and people running scams is the last thing I need or to be investigated for wire fraud. When I advised them that I would be reporting them to the BBB and whatever agency investigates wire fraud, they stopped contacting me, no how can we fix it or explanations. Something is definitely up.

Counterfeit Product - Craft-Folk / Wenxi Chi

I purchased the bags based on the pictures shown on the website of hand applique, hand quilted, hand stitched sheep tote bags. The bags I received are poorly printed copies, machine stitched, made in China. I am extremely disappointed. I feel that somebody has stolen my money with a bait and switch tactic used by con-artists and thieves. I emailed the "company" and asked them to contact me as soon as possible to arrange a return label and refund of ALL of my money. I was given an address in Hong Kong to return the items. The items are not worth the cost of shipping. I notified my bank of the fraudulent incident. Has anybody out there received a ferund?

Counterfeit Product - Alite

I ordered an Antiradar Sticker from Alite, and the experience was a joke. They ask for your state so the font matches your plate, but the color is completely wrong — it sticks out like a sore thumb instead of blending in. When I reached out, they hid behind their “no refunds for personal preferences like color, size, or other specs” policy. Translation: we’ll send you something that looks nothing like what you expected, and you’re stuck with it. This isn’t about “personal preference” — it’s about a product that doesn’t do what it claims. Save your money.

Online Purchase

I saw many videos of ads for this product on TikTok and finally decided to buy. The TikTok link took me off of the app, which isn’t typical of items advertised by users on TikTok app, but I didn’t think anything was wrong necessarily. I placed my order and got a confirmation email and the money was taken out of my bank account via Apple Pay. After a few days the tracking link for a third party tracking and logistic company for the order was showing activity. The tracking website is legit, I’ve used it many times. The product was slowly moving from China to the US and tracking was updating. The order showed delivered after a month but no products were delivered to my address on the order. I reached out to the company and got no response. After looking online, it seems like everyone else who also fell for the ads had this same exact experience and never received their items.

I ordered from clarity blue glasses what I thought was being offered, that it would allow you to see close and distance and that they were scratch resistant and would darken in the sun. None of which were true. They are made of cheap plastic, they were extremely blurry that it would not allow you to see neither near or far. And what came in the mail says Nublu Vision. When you upload the updated manual, it says nothing about being able to see distance and to top it off, some of them came with scratch marks, which the ad said their scratch resistant.
