I was to win 8.5 million and a Lincoln Navigator but I had to get a MoneyPak card and give them $500 and they would deposit the first $50, 000 in my account. They wanted my bank Debit card number. I said, No way," They asked if I had CDs, stocks or bonds.( I answered , "yes". How dumb could I be?). He said I could not hang up until they came to my house to go with me to the nearest bank. I told him my bank was 25 miles away so he said "Where is the nearest Dollar General; we can get a Moneypak card there." He had me put my phone on face time so he could recognize me. (Stupid mistake 2). Then I hung up.

Phishing - Phishing Scam

Received message (see attached) on personal smart phone. I called the number and told the person who answered I needed to speak to someone about a charge I didn't make. That person started asking me about what types of devices I use to access SHOP, which I thought was unusual and not needed to resolve the disputed charge. Initially I tried to answer some of the questions, but then I said, "This information isn't needed. Are you going to remove this charge?" The male answered that I had reached SHOP Customer Service and they needed me to not use my SHOP account for 24 hours. While talking to this individual, I googled the phone number and saw that it had come up as a SCAM, so I immediately hung up. The SHOP charge has not yet hit my bank account. In SHOP, it currently has a message that says "Waiting for details". I will attempt to update this report later if this status changes and let you know if the charge is deducted from my bank account.

Online Purchase - Thread Addiction, Damour Inc.

I ordered ice silk pants from threadtoniction on July 18. They show a US address in Montana and another company name Damour, Inc. An alternate web address shown on banking information is lanjoonar.com. All customer service emails come from [email protected], so that may also be another company name. I paid them $36.46 which included shipping insurance (haha). My order has never arrived. I was told to check with the USPS, who checked the world shipping data base (twice) and said that the tracking number issued belongs to a package delivered in France in April, 2025. After MULTIPLE emails, they now offer me 30% ‘discount’, and oh! I will become a VIP customer (sarcasm). Actual email#5–QUOTE: Dear, I understand your feelings very well, but I'm afraid I can't send you a replacement. As you know, shipping costs are also very expensive.

I made a purchase from Kennedy Alfred in June of 2026 not knowing they ship products from china. A day after I ordered, I tried to cancel the order and was told that it was already in ship status and couldn’t be cancelled but I would receive a full refund if I returned once delivered. The items didn’t get shipped out until two weeks later, so there was plenty of time for me to cancel my order. Once I received the order, I opened it and discovered that all of the original tags had been cut from the items I purchased. I sent an email to [email protected] and they asked me to send pictures of the merchandise with the cut tags which i did. They replied stating they could give me a 25% discount, but refused to give a full refund and also advised that I would have to ship the items back to China. After several more emails trying to get a full refund i advised that I would dispute the charge with my credit card company and report them to the BBB. They again refused. I threatened some more and they finally agreed to refund me 50%.

During checkout, I was prompted to enter a one-time verification code sent by my bank. I became suspicious and did not enter the verification code, so the transaction was not completed and I did not lose money. The website listed the contact email [email protected], phone number (531) 942-2685, and an Omaha, Nebraska address. These details did not match the official Supergoop company information.
