The scam letter offered me to share proceeds from the "permanent life insurance" of a supposedly dead relative whom I never heard of. The letter further stipulated that proceeds were to be split and that the process was 100% risk free. The problems are as follows: The letter is from a Canadian law firm soliciting business in the US (not legal), the letter came postmarked from a post office in Georgia (US) and the scammer provides a GMail address for "private" contact.

This person was a fursuit maker, I paid over the months to get to 900 for two fursuit heads. Not to long ago they tried to upcharge me 600 after paying in full claiming that materials went up. They never mention that before, they were really slow at reply’s, never showed me progress photos, there instagram got banned so I had to go digging around to find there email. She told me from the start it was 900 for two of the furheads. No changes simple colors and disigns. And when I looked it up, people making fursuits shouldnt upcharge unless you changing something or adding something, When I asked for refunds they refused and said it will be my loss and their loss. They didn’t even get the head down after they told me they would get done in a week. They also had me send money to there friends which should’ve been a red flag to me but I was to trusting

It may have taken 5 weeks to receive this product. They charged my Discover card $46 for 4 LITTLE bags of Crunchy Crab. Each bag weighs 2.10 oz. They sold me 1/2 pound for $45 and the product is not as pictured. That’s robbery!!
Totally, they intentionally robbed me. Secondly, we DO NOT LIKE THE TASTE!!! My husband tried one and had to spit it out.
After trying 3-4 crabs (and they were not good at all - eating mostly shell) I ended up with a serious UTI. I’m wondering if that could be the reason.
Please give me the instructions for returning them for a refund. I was a fool to buy them in the first place and I cannot think of anyone who would like receiving them.

I would strongly caution others before ordering from Lili’s Rose (lilisrose.com).
My daughter ordered a dress for approximately $70. Lili’s Rose sent her a completely different dress — not the dress she ordered.
We contacted the company immediately. Instead of simply correcting its error, Lili’s Rose instructed us to ship the incorrect merchandise internationally to Hong Kong at our expense, using tracked shipping, and said it would reimburse the shipping cost only after the package was received and inspected.
I specifically asked the company to provide a prepaid return label rather than requiring us to advance the cost of international shipping to correct its mistake. Its published return policy says that when a return is accepted, the company will send a return shipping label. Instead of addressing my request, customer service sent essentially the same generic response my daughter had already received.
The return information we were provided was:
High Street, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong
Recipient: “Mr. GO”
The company also offered a partial refund if we simply kept the wrong dress.
We ordered one product, received a different product, and have been unable to obtain a full refund without first assuming the cost and risk of an international return.
I have now escalated the matter through consumer-protection channels and my payment provider.
Based on my experience, I would not order from this website.

Online ordering sites high quality clothing from a Toronto-based store. I requested a cancellation via customer service email within 48 hours of making the purchase, and they said it wasn't possible to cancel. They suggested I receive the goods and judge the quality then. The quality was seriously substandard. I requested a return for a full refund. They sent the items from a Mississauga, ON address to Barrie, ON. They requested I send the items back to China at my cost, and I would not receive a refund until the items were received.

Retail Business - Retail Business - Rogers Communications *IMPOSTOR*
In late June I received a telephone call from a spokesperson claiming to be from Rogers offering me a promotion on a new cellphone and service. With their guidance I set up a Rogers account online and ordered a device. I received a call from Rogers the next day to confirm my order. After the device arrived, I attempted to activate it over the phone as per their instruction. Several days had passed between me receiving the device and calling to activate. On the activation call, the representative asked for the numbers/codes on the box and when they looked them up they said the promotion attributed to that device had expired. They explained it wasnt a problem, I could return the device and a new one could be sent out again with the promotion extended. While on the phone they sent out an email with a prepaid canada xpress post shipping label to return the device. It was nearing the end of the month so they warned to get the device in the mail quickly and confirm it had been shipped so I wasnt charged for the beginning of a new billing cycle. A few days later they called back to walk through the ordering of a new device. With the order of the second device Rogers fraud department called me as this flagged as suspicious activity to them. As it turns out the original call and subsquent communication never came from legitmate Rogers and my returning of the device was actually sending it to a frauster. Rogers was aware of the scam at the time of my incident, as upon my further investigation I found news stories dating back to January. The phone call to confirm the order of the device was legimately from Rogers - they simply asked if I had ordered a phone but did not ask any further questions to validate the purchase or probe for fraudulent activity.
Rogers is aware of the scam but is not taking any action to help stop it.
Full financial burden is on me for the device (Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra) equalling over $2000.

Investment
Hello good day, my dear elders, I was defrauded by an investment company.That's why I'm writing to you. The investment company is www.alphaventureslimited.org
I met this investment company through a female intermediary on social media Telegram. This woman convinced me by saying that they earned their weekly and monthly expenses with this investment company. This woman is a British citizen, her name on social media Telegram is Rebecca.
This lady is a British citizen, her phone number is
+44 7444 702234
Then I became a member of this investment company. As of October 15, 2024, I started transferring money to the investment company. The company allowed payments to be transferred in crypto. My first payment was 100 USD, the company gave a bonus of 10 USD, then they gave me 3 USD as a bonus of 100 USD, I withdrew 13 USD.
The investment company support officer was constantly asking me for money, for more profit. The support officer was saying, "Think of this company like a piggy bank, your money is safe with us."
When I wanted to withdraw money, it kept asking me for money, no transfer fee, no mining fee, no tax, what else?
As you can see in the attached picture, I wanted to withdraw my money on 17/11/2024, the company never paid me, by the way, the company gives bonuses, but the company demanded money for processing this.
I have made a total of 135 payments to the company over a year, and I have transferred a total of approximately 17,000 dollars or USD to the company. I have withdrawn funds many times during this period, but unfortunately, the company has not transferred the money. Currently, the amount of money I will receive on the investment company's dashboard is 69,607 USD.
The picture regarding this is attached sir.
During this time, I made payments to the company and even filed 10 reports with Actionfraud. I'm very sorry to say that I couldn't provide documentation for this money transfer in the Actionfraud report section because it was crypto. I couldn't attach a picture or document to the report section. I recommend you pay attention to this, sir. I can provide all transfer receipts made to the investment company.
I am a citizen of the Republic of Turkey. I reported this fraudulent investment company to the local police. Unfortunately, the local police informed me that the correspondence would continue due to the international incident.
I reported this investment company to the FCA. Unfortunately, the FCA's response recommended Actionfraud because it was outside the scope of the company.
I also complained about this investment company to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Unfortunately, the response I received was negative. That's why I'm writing to you.
While tweeting against investment company X on social media, a citizen gave me your address. That's why I'm writing this; communication with the fraudulent company is still ongoing, the investment company is still asking me for payment for the transfer. The social media Telegram group members definitely say that the company is not a fraud and they want me to pay.
My login information for www.alphaventuresltd.com
Username: ********* My email address is: ***********************
Phone numbers of WhatsApp authorized persons of the fraudulent company:
+44 7428 933920
+46 76 412 02 89

+1 (730) 255-5519
You can reach me at this email address, my mobile phone is +90 531780 56 16. I don't speak English, but we can also chat on WhatsApp.
The fraudulent company not only didn't transfer the money, but finally sent me an email demanding 550 USD. They say this is the final payment, but the company sucked my blood like a vampire, I'm financially tied up, I can no longer pay, I'm exhausted, sir. In the name of God, put an end to this suffering, I beg you to collect my money and to prevent others from suffering like me, I request that the necessary investigation be launched into this fraudulent company, sir. I wish you success in your endeavors.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam
On August 3, 2026, we paid The Coffee Sleeves $3,740.80 by American Express for an order of 60,000 custom coffee cup sleeves.
The original subtotal was represented as $4,676.00. We received a 20% discount of $935.20, resulting in a final payment of $3,740.80.
Our primary contact was a sales representative identifying himself as David Stock.
Prior to payment, communications were generally prompt and responsive.
After payment, we conducted additional research regarding the company. Our research raised serious concerns about the transaction and business, including our inability to locate a Google Business Profile at the company's represented New York address, our inability to identify an established social-media presence, the company's limited independent online footprint, and subsequent communications that we perceived as delays and stalling.
Because of these concerns, we notified The Coffee Sleeves that we were no longer comfortable proceeding.
We expressly requested:
1. Cancellation of our 60,000-unit order;
2. No further production or additional expenses;
3. A full refund of our **$3,740.80** to the original American Express card; and
4. Written confirmation of the cancellation and refund.
The company has not provided the requested refund.
Additionally, David Stock, who generally responded promptly during the sales process, has not satisfactorily responded to our refund demands and subsequent complaints.
We attempted to resolve the matter directly with the merchant before escalating it.
We are therefore requesting BBB's assistance in obtaining the following resolution:
Cancellation of the order and a complete refund of the $3,740.80 paid to The Coffee Sleeves.
We have documentation supporting the transaction, including quotations, payment information, emails, order information, cancellation requests, refund requests, follow-up communications, and relevant website information.
Our complaint concerns our actual transaction and experience. We are asking BBB to assist us in obtaining our money back and documenting the merchant's response to this complaint.

They followed through for a long time of texting and showing screen recordings from Ticketmaster including entering my name and email to the transfer section. When I asked to FaceTime call they instead sent a video that honestly looked so real of a young girl (called Barbara in this case) that said she would send the tickets as soon as payment when though. As this was a US concert and I’m from Canada I had no means to venmo etc but I suggested PayPal because I knew I’d be protected there but they said they would ask their friend in Canada, and they later had their friend send a e transfer request. This should have been red flag number one, they knew too quickly about e transfers but also I assumed maybe because they had their Canadian friend then that’s why.
I sent payment for the face value of the ticket that I believed to be $299usd. That was my second mistake, I should have only sent a small deposit. Then they actually sent a screen recording or then sending the ticket transfer to me and confirmation email screen shots of the ticket being sent to me. I was then to keep checking me email to accept the ticket,
They were very personable and personable and friendly and used emojis and also apologised about sending me the wrong day, they then asked if I had accepted the ticket and as I hadn’t even record it they said they cancelled their end and then resent me the correct day. But then I didn’t get it again. This was nothing new form tickemaster sometimes taking a long time, I’ve heard of this issue.
THEN they sent.crying emojis and a screen shot that ticketmaster had cancelled the ticket back to them scammer. The next message they had suddenly spoken to ticketmaster on the phone (it was too quick, this should have been my next red flag). They said there was a transfer fee of $150 to release them to just one person BUT if I bought all 4 tickets that they were selling then the fee would be waived. They wanted me to pay the fee.
I said I couldn’t, then stupidly I said I could pay less than half. So their friend in Canada sent me another e transfer request (friend was called ASHLE KIEREN STEHR in the email transfer request).
Then! And this was after I asked to FaceTime again because it was getting bad and I had a feeling then I was scammed, they said ANOTHER fee if $300 was due and that when I came to my senses. I said I could not pay and could I please get a refund. They immediately said yes they are asking their friend to do the refund. And of course it never came, and then I demanded a repose as to what the delay was and the kept the act up saying they were checking.
I left it and hours later requested again, and nothing.

Online Purchase - Zenith cannabis
I believe I am the victim of an online fraud scheme involving an apparent cannabis retailer, cryptocurrency/Bitcoin Lightning Network payments, and a purported cannabis consumer registration website that collected sensitive identity information.
The websites involved include:
https://www.zenithcannabis.com/
https://links.pd.cash/9426-nlm7v8ia
https://statemmcverify.com/patient-med-rec-registration/
I initially interacted with Zenith Cannabis and was directed through payment infrastructure associated with PD CASH.
I made payments connected with the transactions, including payment confirmations showing:
Approximately $120.00, reference shown as X18GTROSYQC7OFUI [verify exact characters against original evidence].
Approximately $300.00, reference shown as FO3AER794W6S52K [verify exact characters against original evidence].
I was also provided with Bitcoin Lightning Network invoices. I have preserved the complete original invoice strings and will provide them to investigators.
[PASTE FIRST COMPLETE LIGHTNING INVOICE HERE]
[PASTE SECOND COMPLETE LIGHTNING INVOICE HERE]
The transaction/payment records, including exact timestamps, amounts, and any transaction IDs available from my wallet or payment application, are preserved.
I was subsequently directed to statemmcverify.com, which presented itself as a cannabis consumer registration/verification process. The site requested sensitive personal information including images of the front and back of my government-issued driver's license/state identification and a photograph of myself. I provided these materials before realizing the operation may be fraudulent.
The State MMC Verify website also requested a purported "Refundable State Registration Fee" of approximately $299.99.
I believe this may be part of a coordinated fraud operation because the apparent cannabis seller and the purported verification site have multiple concerning indicators, including:
Zenith Cannabis displays California cannabis license C10-0000420-LIC.
California's official cannabis records identify C10-0000420-LIC with Gradus / Sherman Oaks Collective Care, Inc. in North Hollywood, California, rather than Zenith Cannabis.
The domains were registered recently.
Public technical records show both Zenith Cannabis and State MMC Verify currently using the same IP address, 35.215.109.184, and the same SiteGround nameservers. I understand that shared hosting alone does not prove common ownership, but I believe this connection warrants investigation.
I have preserved screenshots, website URLs, payment confirmations, Lightning invoices, and communications.
I am requesting that this matter be investigated as suspected internet fraud, cryptocurrency fraud, and potential identity theft.

I googled Aetrex shoes looking for a Labor Day sale. I clicked on aerexus.it.com and saw a big sale. All the shoes I like, and I spent time browsing and then selected multiple items. The total amount wasjust about $250.00. They wanted credit card information; in the past I have just used Apple Pay which was not available. So I filled it in and hit purchase. Then I needed a bank code to process it which was sent to my phone but was never received. I'm not yet completely sure charges went through.

All-in-One Home Health Companion. I saw an ad on tv for a mechanical device that would take blood pressure and blood insulin plus pulse oxidation readings so I sent in my money to a company called mnyyody.com thur Klarna app. When I received my so called all-in-one device all I got was a cheap pulse ox that I could buy for $10. So I tried to find the company to send it back and I emailed them and they wrote back to tell me that they don’t sell any all-in-one device so I’m just out my money.

The scammer advertised a pair of shoes for a really low price under the name “Belro” . I bought a pair. I started getting charges on my checking account for miscellaneous amounts. When I would run down a phone number for the charges, I was told that it was for a membership fee. The fees were about 3x-4x the price of the shoes. I never joined anything or agreed to additional charges. When I protested, I was told that the charges would be reversed. The charges come through under different company names. The latest phone number is: 1-850-724-9257.

I originally purchased the Magnesium Complex on June 22 but did not know this was a subscription.
On July 20 I received another order confirmation and emailed [email protected] on July 21 telling them to cancel the subscription.
On July 28 the customer service rep 'Jordan' said "I've noted your request to stop future refills so no further shipment is generated for August, and I'm getting that arranged with the team now. You'll have written confirmation from me as soon as it's done, so you have it on record."
On Aug 15 'Jordan' confirmed the plan would be paused so no new shipments are sent.
On Aug 17, I received another order confirmation, and on Aug 18 I emailed them to cancel the shipment so my card would not be charge.
On Aug 19 I received a shipping notification. I emailed customer service ('Jordan' who is likely AI) and asked for a refund for $87.84 CAD because of his error. This is a scam with automated monthly orders that steal money from customers.
The responses from 'Jordan' do not answer my questions or resolve the issue. He keeps saying the same generic stuff "A person is reviewing your plan. I cannot pause your plan from here" since July. Today is Sept 4.
I've explained the situation many times, he does not resolve the issue. I've asked for a refund several times. 'Jordan' is an AI and this company is fraudulent.
This is a scam that steals money from customers monthly. The product is not the correct brand, just a generic magnesium complex from "Toplux Nutrition".
