Online Purchase

I purchased 3 items of clothing from the website of what appeared to be a mother and daughter owned boutique in Casper, Wy. What I received were ill fitting items made from cheap material, similar to what is used in Halloween costumes. When I attempted to return, I learned this company is actually located in China. They told me to keep my items and continued offering me percentage refunds when I requested a return address. UPS quoted me over $200 in mailing charges for the address they finally provided. Please note, this company uses multiple domain names, Lucy and Claire, Lucy and Clara, Lucy and Clare.

At 5:24 p.m. today, I received a phone call from this number on my landline (540-657-0281). When the phone rang, I answered, said “hello,” and heard static on the line and a male voice. The person said, Oh gosh, can you hear me?” I said “yes” and there was a prolonged silence. I said, “Hello?” and the person came back on the line. Then I hung up. I have heard about scams where the caller prompts you to say “Hello” and splices the audio to set you up for financial theft. I am therefore reporting this call. It was very strange and I have never heard of any organization that identifies itself as “Police Committee.”

Counterfeit Product

I saw an ad on Instagram for Articulating Plastic flags with imbedded magnets. Original cost was $24.97. I ended up paying $38.97, 37% tax. It took two months for the items to arrive. The first tracking had the items end up in San Diago. Then it stopped. I contacted PayPal to cancel the order, and all of the sudden, they were reshipping. When they arrived, they looked nothing like the ones shown in the ad. I tried to attach one to my metal door and it just slid down. The magnets were not imbedded and could not hold the weight of the material. Contacted PayPal. If I send the items back, I will get my money back. It cost $22.40 to send the items back. That is 57% of the purchase price.

I received a medical bill for a hospital visit I DID NOT have (Date of Service 5-10-2026). It shows total charges of $1534.00, a payment of $981.76 (supposedly made by me -- but I have medical insurance, and the listed hospital has this information), with a balance due of $552.24. Sound Physicians has a high risk rating (87/100) and is not a BBB business. I doubt that Kaweah Hospital is responsible. But I have no information about the NP (Daryl Magada) who is listed as providing service at that location AND is listed as employed there. In addition to a public notice of this scam sent to the American Hospital Association, I want any indication of "non-payment" removed immediately from my credit score, and a letter to me stating that it is clean.
