Identity Theft - Identity Theft

The company niantic has used my personal information without my consent to create a new account for Pokémon go to boost their numbers. I never asked for this and never agreed to any terms of service that they agreed for me without my consent. I’ve tried to ask why they did this and get ignored, so I requested a copy of my data and that has also been ignored. This has been going on for 3 months and I can’t get an answer of why their employees are using my personal information to make new accounts. It’s illegal to sign people up for stuff without their consent

Retail Business - Fathom Marine Service

I hired fathom marine to install a new chart, plotter, and radar system in my boat as well as repair my generator. I was told initially the project would take a few weeks at most. It has now been over three months and the radar that has been installed has never worked and Kyle Darby, the mechanic and owner of the company, has been ignoring my text and phone calls asking when this will be completed. I have already paid in full in an amount over $6000. He sent me invoices for the job prior to it being completed and requires $500 upfront. Kyle stated multiple deadlines when the job would be completed that we never met and has intentionally been ignoring my text messages. The only way I was able to successfully get a hold of him was calling him through a number that he did not recognize, to which she picked up immediately. Whatever you do do not use fathom Marine services for any boat repairs ever.

Counterfeit Product

I was laid off of work for about 4 months and I got into the bad habit because of seeing ads that were targeted towards my needs and interests, I started buying things online. I have a crappy pair of computer glasses that are actually taped up on one side to hold the lens in and saw an ad for computer glasses. Of course, the ad made them sound wonderful, etc., etc., and I got sucked in and made a purchase for them I think around $80. Received the item and the glasses are made of the cheapest plastic you could even imagine and did absolutely NO GOOD when I used them when on my computer. I wish I could remember the company name or I would definitely be putting it here and telling anyone to STAY AWAY! HUGE SCAM! They go by the address of: Hicksville, 2650 Carlisle Pike, New Oxford PA 17350 I did look this address up on Google and it is the address for a storage rental unit place. Now as a secondary problem I just found out when I went to submit this report it asked for my email address and would not allow me to use MY OWN email address because it said in red that the email address is the scammer's email address!!! Like what? So I had to use an email address I haven't used in decades just so this could go through! They are not only ripping me off with an extremely cheap plastic pair of glasses, but are using my own email address!!!!!

I purchased a random car accessory (a musical instrument that clips to air vent - just meant for fun) from an Instagram ad in November 2025, totaling around $23 with shipping and taxes. The company continued to charge me $29.99 per month for a "subscription". I never agreed to sign up for anything or pay for anything and the subscription does not provide anything. I received no emails from them beyond my original purchase receipt which does not mention any subscription. The company does not sell anything other than the one single item that I purchased in November 2025. It is fraudulent.

I had High School Junior (at the time this started) taking College entrance exams. This company called me offered test prep package that included books and electronic test preparation materials. Said that if I returned the materials within 30 days we would not be charged. Since my son was taking the test within 30 days - agreed to them sending material. Received the materials, no books, just DVDRoms (who has a DVDRoms anymore). Resealed the box and returned the next day using the labels they provided. Did not think of it again until tonight when I was looking for charges for tax purposes and came across a $79.95 charge from Academic ENRL 8886120489 CA on March 29, 2025 and then again each month from Academic ENRL UPLAND CA or ACADEMIC ENRL 8886120489 CA. I attempted to call this company to get charges reversed but no answer.

The website https://officialmiyoomini.com/ is a fraudulent entity engaged in severe brand impersonation and consumer deception. 1. Unauthorized Use of Intellectual Property: The site has illegally copied our original product photography, creative descriptions, and website layout. They are using our registered "Miyoo" trademark throughout their site without any authorization. 2. False Accreditation (BBB Misuse): The most alarming aspect of this scam is that they are illegally displaying the "BBB Accredited Business" seal on their checkout page to trick customers into believing the site is trustworthy. They have no relationship with the Better Business Bureau. 3. Specific Infringing Links: The site mimics our official store (https://lomiyoo.com/) by listing the following stolen product categories: Target URL 1: https://officialmiyoomini.com/product-category/miyoo-mini-v4/ Target URL 2: https://officialmiyoomini.com/product-category/miyoo-mini-flip-sale/ Target URL 3: https://officialmiyoomini.com/product-category/miyoo-mini-plus/ 4. Phishing Risks: By using the prefix "Official" in their domain name and faking Google reviews (claiming "2500+ Positive Reviews"), they are actively siphoning our customers and collecting sensitive credit card information under false pretences.
