Online Purchase - Ravencore.top

I ordered a three screen monitor from this "ravencore" on a tiktok ad around February 2026. When contacting them over a month later after not even originally receiving a tracking number, i was finally given one that seemed to be way late on updates. When it finally said delivered, i made sure to wait a day or two just in case but when it never showed up I contacted "Ada" or the help email. They offered to send me another one, i said fine but I would like it expedited and sent through a different carrier. Again waited over a month and tracking said delivered, but nothing was received. I finally got fed up and emailed Ada again and told whomever they were that i wanted my money back no more excuses or I was contacting my lawyer. They sent me some half assed excuse and said they wouldn't give me a full refund but they could give me a $200 freight insurance refund but in order to do that they needed me to give them my debit card number and a certified letter from my bank that stated my account was in good standing. When i declined and said i was contacting a lawyer they told me they would be sending me the product a third time but i wouldnt get tracking for 5 days. Here i am put $54ish and pissed.

Counterfeit Product - Audileaf

This company claims to cure tinnitus and have a 100% money back guarantee. Upon receiving the product I could not use it because of ingredients not revealed in their promoting. I called and they said not to send product back because it gets lost most of the time in the mail but would give me 50%. I found that to be shady right away. After numerous calls and emails I have received no refund. Upon further investigation the product is not what they say is in it. And I am out of $200 plus shipping.

Employment - Employment Solicitation Scam - Publicis Groupe Impostor

I received an unsolicited email on June 19, 2026, claiming to be from “William Dawson” of the “Global Talent Acquisition team” at Publicis Groupe, sent from [email protected]. The email claimed my background was a fit for a Director of Marketing role and asked me to reply with a time to connect. The sender domain is not Publicis Groupe’s actual corporate domain, which is a common red flag for recruiting impersonation scams. The message used generic, AI-sounding language and offered no specifics about the role, team or hiring process, just a vague pitch designed to get me to respond and presumably move toward a request for personal information or payment.

The original event was scheduled for 10/4/2025. The event was canceled and rescheduled due to lack of permitting foresight. It was rescheduled for 3/21/2026 and a week before the event, the event was canceled again. It has become known that the event was promoted without permits or any ethical business model. The event was rescheduled again for 9/12/2026. This is not the conduct of a reasonably capable business, it is clear incompetence by the promoters.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Searched to check if “Wear to Support Veterans” website selling America 250 apparel was legitimate and found complaints here on BBB and other sites that it is a scam… not made in USA/TX but in China, quality not same as described or depicted, no refunds as claimed satisfaction guaranteed with full refund. While researching found another site “American Veterans Made” that was nearly identical regarding home page and clothing being sold, some exact same. However could not find a scam page or complaint for this second site. So did the first site copy/reproduce/impersonate the second site OR more likely are they the same scam by same China seller? Same couple depicted on home page, same group of people in another picture, similar or exact clothing being sold. Buyer Beware! Will attempt to upload screenshots from both sites. Only one file allowed, so took screenshot of all the screenshots to show similarities from both sites. Dark header from Wear to Support Veterans, White header from American Veterans Made.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Purchased the Halo smart ring, measured the way they recommended, and it was too big. I reached out to them and this is the email they sent: ?Hi Megan, I’m really sorry about the sizing issue, and I completely understand how frustrating that can be after waiting for your order. I just want to give you full clarity on how the exchange process works. If you’d like to proceed with a return and exchange, the ring would need to be shipped back to the manufacturer at your own shipping cost, and a 20% restocking fee would also apply. Once received, the manufacturer will inspect it, which usually takes around 1 to 1.5 weeks. After that, your new size is processed and shipped, which takes another 10 days. Overall, the full process is typically around 3 weeks, plus return shipping and restocking fees. To save you time, extra costs, and the inconvenience of waiting, there is a simpler option available. You can keep the current ring (or gift it to someone close to you), and I can provide you with a 50% discount code so you can place a new order in the correct size right away. This way you’ll get the right fit much faster, without the return process or extra fees. Please let me know which option works best for you, and I’ll be happy to help right away. Warm regards, William I felt scammed because it was more expensive to return it than it was to purchase another. I did purchase another and I sized down, and it’s slightly too snug. I want to return it because the app that it comes with is clunky but it’s not worth the headache. Do not purchase!

I went to public records to check on a license plate number. The initial charge was allegedly $1. Then under that was an offer for a subscription for $30 a month. I opted out by unclicking that box. The report came up as showing no records of said plate. I then realized too late that this was not a real government website. A few minutes later I got a fraud alert from my credit union. I disputed the charge and cancelled my card. Somehow I was still charged the $31. But I figured that since I cancelled the card that us records could not possibly charge me again. Today I received a text from us records that I still had a subscription. I wrote it off. But directly after I got ANOTHER fraud alert from my credit union saying a suspicious charge on my NEW debit card was detected. I was able to dispute the charge and cancel another debit card. Not sure how they worked around the new card. I’ll be having a word with my credit union about that. Also. A “membership” letter came to my house for me right after the original interaction. Then a day later the same letter came for my adult son, who does lot live in the house anymore. Not sure how that happened or if they are somehow charging him too. I need to check in with him. As soon as I called us records customer service I got an apology and they said they canceled the charge and refunded. I guess we’ll see. But two new debit cards later, I’m pretty aggravated. This is a scam and seems like fraud to me.
