I wasn’t looking for anything extravagant—just a one-bedroom condo where I could start over quietly. That’s why the listing on Trulia felt like a small miracle. Clean floors. Neutral walls.The price was reasonable for the neighborhood. It looked safe. It looked real. I reached out immediately. The man who responded introduced himself as David Montano. He said he was the property manager and that the unit had just come on the market. His tone was professional—measured, calm, even reassuring. He answered my questions without hesitation. He offered to meet me at the condo for a walk-through. When I arrived for the appointment in January, The complex was quiet. I got turned around trying to find the exact building and called David for directions. As I stood near a row of parked cars, a maintenance worker passed by. David stayed on the line, guiding me. I handed the phone to the maintenance man for clarification, hoping he could explain exactly where I was standing. They spoke briefly. When he handed the phone back to me, he nodded casually—as if everything made sense. That small exchange gave me a wave of relief. If the maintenance staff knew him, then surely this was legitimate. David arrived a few minutes later. He looked the part. Confident. Put together. Not rushed. He greeted me warmly and led me to the condo. At the door, he pulled out his phone and unlocked a smart lock with a quick tap on his screen. The door clicked open. That sound erased most of my doubt. Inside, he walked me through the unit like someone who had done it a hundred times before. He pointed out the appliances, the storage, the balcony view. He answered my questions about utilities and parking. He even handed me a rental application and later provided a formal lease agreement. While we were talking outside afterward, I noticed an older man walking nearby with a young girl—his granddaughter, he said when we exchanged pleasantries. He mentioned he was a professor at USD and that his daughter had recently purchased a condo next to the one I was considering. It was such an ordinary interaction. The kind that makes a place feel like home before you even move in. I submitted the rental application and signed the lease. David provided wire ach and zelle instruction. I transferred the first month’s rent and the security deposit. Then he contacted me again with a concern: according to him, the ACH transfer hadn’t cleared in time for my scheduled move-in date. He said the property owner required confirmation of funds before releasing the keys. I didn’t want to lose the unit. I had already given notice where I was staying. My move-in date was set. Everything in my life was shifting around this timeline. He suggested I provide an additional $1,000 toward the following month’s rent as a temporary assurance until the ACH cleared. He said once the transfer posted, everything would be reconciled. It felt urgent. It felt inconvenient—but not impossible. He had met me in person. He had unlocked the door. He had paperwork. There was a maintenance worker who seemed to recognize him. There was a grandfatherly neighbor who made the place feel safe. So I sent the additional $1,000. After that, the tone changed. Each time I asked about picking up the keys, there was a delay Three stalls. Three excuses. My anxiety started as a whisper and grew into something louder. I decided to call the central office number listed for the property complex. I expected a receptionist. A leasing office. Some confirmation that David was exactly who he said he was. Instead, the person who answered told me there was no central office. I paused, thinking I had dialed incorrectly. I mentioned that I had been working with a property manager named David Montano. The voice on the other end of the line changed immediately—sharp, defensive. They claimed they knew nothing about a David Montano. When I said I would be going to the police if this was fraudulent, the tone shifted again. The same voice quickly retracted their statement and admitted they were aware of someone by that name pretending to be a property manager and scamming people. They said they would need to gather details from me. Before I could finish explaining, they hung up. I called back immediately. No answer. I called again. No answer. That was the moment the floor fell out from under me. Everything I had pieced together—the walk-through, the smart lock, the maintenance worker, the professor neighbor—suddenly felt orchestrated. Too smooth. Too perfectly placed to lower my guard. I replayed the January tour in my mind. The maintenance worker who had briefly spoken to David on the phone. Had he truly known him? Or had he simply been trying to give directions to a stranger on the other end? Did he even know who he was talking to? And the older man with his granddaughter. The one who mentioned being a professor at USD and that his daughter had just bought a condo nearby. Was that coincidence? Or part of something coordinated to make the environment feel credible? The thought unsettled me more than the money. If this was a fraud ring—if multiple people were involved—then it wasn’t just about financial deception. It meant calculated staging. It meant layered trust-building. It meant rehearsed normalcy. And what about the child? The little girl walking beside her grandfather. If he was truly her grandfather, was he aware of what was happening? Or was she unknowingly present in a situation designed to manipulate trust? I don’t know which possibility disturbs me more. The smart lock is what haunts me the most. He opened it from his device without hesitation. It wasn’t a fake key. It wasn’t forced entry. It responded instantly. That means he had access—either authorized or cleverly obtained. How? Was he once affiliated with the property? Did he exploit a vacancy system? Was someone inside the building assisting him? Each question leads to another. I trusted what I saw. I trusted the sound of that door unlocking. I trusted the ordinary details: a maintenance man, a professor, a granddaughter, a signed lease. Now I’m left with bank records, unanswered calls, and a growing fear that this wasn’t an isolated scammer—but potentially something larger. I am worried not only about my financial loss, but about the safety of anyone else who might walk into that same hallway believing they are about to start a new chapter of their life. Because I did. And somewhere between the listing on Trulia and the third delayed promise of keys, that new chapter turned into a cautionary tale. I don’t know yet how wide this reaches. I don’t know how many others have sent money. I don’t know whether the maintenance worker or the older man were innocent bystanders or pieces of a calculated illusion. What I do know is this: The door opened. The lease was signed. The money was sent and the keys never came

Giveaway plus first class airfare for 2 scam

The scammer was offering a job without saying what the company was and then at the end was asking to do a background check and asking for personal information. There was no website given or any email address of the company just the phone number in the text message which I provided already.

Scam site. I never received my goods. Others received very low quality goods while expecting quality goods as shown on website. Avoid this site and company.

Romi is a “dating” app. You instantly get matched with everyone you like. They all message you first. It all seems fine…and then the paywall hits. No more messaging unless you subscribe. I did. Just to try it. You’re unable to exchange any kind of info and I believe the profiles are fake. Each profile messaged me the same way. They talked the same way. When I brought up the possibility of the app being a scam they all reacted the same way. At times sent the exact same message. This app needs to be taken down.

Order 68 dollars of product from company, they processed my card immediately and said order shipped. After numerous email communications with the company on when my order is going to arrive I received an email that they cancelled the order and issued a refund. The refund was never issued. They claim they are following up to see what the issue is with the refund.

I placed an order with Tom Auto parts and never received my part .

Timeline of Events 1. Initial Purchase Attempt • I located a beauty/aesthetics product on the company’s website after being unable to find it in stock elsewhere. • The website listed the price as $64.47 including shipping. • Per the company’s instructions, I paid through Wise and emailed a screenshot confirming the completed transfer. • This payment required a $25 wire-transfer fee, bringing my total to $89.47. 2. Company Requests Additional Payment • Shortly after payment, the company emailed stating I owed an additional $20. • I investigated and discovered their website’s currency display had reverted to GBP, causing the product to be listed at the wrong price. • I later learned this was a known recurring issue, and the company updated their website afterward. 3. Corrected Pricing • After the currency error was corrected, the actual total was $84.47. • Since I had already paid $64.47, the remaining balance was $20. • Sending that $20 required another wire transfer, adding a second $25 fee from my bank. • This corrected total would come to a total of $134.47 for a product that should have totaled $64.47 4. Request to Cancel • Due to the unexpected additional charges caused by their pricing error, I requested to cancel the order. • The company refused, stating the payment was non-refundable, and insisted I still owed the remaining balance. 5. Store Credit Offer • After multiple emails, the company offered “store credit,” but with restrictive conditions :• Store credit could not be used with promotions.(which I don't see as part of they're policy on the website.) • Store credit could not be applied to shipping. 6. Additional Financial Burden •If I resulted to using the store credit shipping could not be covered by store credit, I would have to pay for shipping a second time through another wire transfer, costing another $25 fee. • With store credit, I would still be paying approximately $45 more than I should have, solely due to their pricing error and payment limitations. 7. Months of Unresolved Communication • I have been attempting to resolve this issue for over five months. • Customer service has been unprofessional, unresponsive at times, and consistently unwilling to return the funds I paid. • I have paid this company money and received nothing in return. 8. Contradiction With Their Posted Refund Policy • Their newly updated website now displays a Refund Policy stating: “All returns including exchange & return for a refund must be postmarked within 30 days of receipt.” • Despite this posted policy, they have refused to refund my payment—even though I never received a product. Summary The company advertised an incorrect price due to a known website issue, demanded additional payment after the fact, refused to refund my money, and offered restrictive store credit that would still require additional wire-transfer fees. After five months of attempting to resolve this, I have received no product, no refund, and no meaningful assistance. I am requesting a full refund of the amount I paid

Freecash uses scam companies on their website that are supposed to pay people for their time completing surveys. After completing a survey sometimes taking 20-30 minutes they don’t pay out the money that you’re owed

We purchased a travel package to vegas and they literally call us every single day for the last three years that’s over 1000 phone calls every single day. Their customer service is rude. They keep telling us that our credits are expired and they are not. They harass us every single day. The last call I got was from total travel. It was a 435 number and she was so rude when I said we do not want to book Travel at this time. They’ve hidden a scam under an umbrella that acts like it’s operating like a travel agency.

Calls saying I have been verified need to be served and to call Tracy Mendoza I call the number says Great Eastern to verify myself.

THIS WEBSITE SHOULD BE SHUT DOWN! THEY'RE TAKING PEOPLE MONEY AND NOT DELIVERING FLOWERS

Visited website to purchase products which seemed valid at the time. Ordered products. I did not receive any of the products but wanted me to rate those products. I made several attempts to communicate via mail. They did not respond to any of my requests. I then ask for a refund at which they did not respond or honor. On their website it states that a refund would be processed and completed 10 days after the request is made. I’ve waited for a month.

I ordered some crayons off of the website and it took nearly a month to arrive. When it did arrive it is a completely different brand and item than what was shown. I’ve reached out about a return and refund however the shipping cost to another country makes it not worth the effort. I believe this is a Chinese company with the full intention to mislead you to buying something then sending something else.

This website is a SCAM! I ordered items merchandise and my merchandise was sent to a different city and state that i did not reside in. When i contacted the customer service to inform them my items shows it was delivered to another state, they did absolutely nothing about it other than telling me that the items were delivered! If i am saying my items were delivered to another state, which my correct address was on my confirmation order when i placed my order, and twice this company said your items were delivered! Yes the items were delivered, but they were delivered to a whole different state that i did not reside in! BE AWARE OF THIS COMPANY, I WOULD NOT WASTE NO MONEY ON ANYTHING ON THUS WEBSITE, THEY ARE SCAMMING PEOPLE OUT OF THERE MONEY, AND WHEN YOU REPORT THE PROBLEM, THEY BASICALLY TELL YOU, WELL IT WAS DELIVERED, AND YOU TELL THEM IT WAS DELIVED TO A ADDRESS I DID NOT PLACE, THEY DO ABSOLUTELY NOTHING ABOUT IT, THEY ARE SCAMMERS!

I was contacted on indeed for a remote position and a contract was involved where it was through Google Docs that sent up a red flag but I said let’s see where they are going with this. So the position was as a assistant but from what I gather is a scam to basically get you to deposit a fraudulent check and send the uncleared money back to the scammer which the check will bounce your money that you sent won’t be refunded.

My friend called for a tow truck, and they said they'd be there to pick up the car in 20 min. She was told she had to pay 380.00 over the phone, and the driver would be dispatched. My friend paid the 380.00 with her debit card and was told everything was all set. The "tow truck driver" called her and said he was on his way. After waiting for 2 hrs for the car to get picked up, she called them back, and they said that my friend had an appointment for an 8 am pickup! My friend said no, that wasn't true, and that the tow truck driver that she had talked to told her 20 min. and the first woman she talked to, who took her payment, said that the driver had been dispatched. The woman on the phone kept arguing and saying that the car was scheduled to be picked up at 8 am, and if my friend wanted the car to be picked up before 8 am, there would be an extra $60.00 processing fee! A verbal fight broke out between my friend and the woman on the phone, and during the confrontation, it came out that even if she waited for her "8 am appointment," there would still be an additional $30.00 processing fee. My friend asked to speak to a supervisor and was transferred to a dead line that would hang up the call. My friend called back 4 times, and every time she ended up speaking to a different person! (All of whom were Indian). They had already gotten 380.00 dollars from her so I told her to call the police. She told the police all about what had happened and they told her there wasnt much they could do about it! The whole thing was actually discussing and it was discusting.

I received an email that my computer was hacked. They did list an old password that I have used in the past (I removed my password from the attachment).

I printed the email with all headers and attached. I am sure its coming from a bogus email account.
