Counterfeit Product - Online Retailer Scam

https://brigittedianeboutique.com/ and https://nelsonandparker.com/ advertise the same material with similar discounts. However, the clothing sent was not at all what is pictured and the sizing was not accurate. Items sent were cheap, plastic fabric that did not resemble fabric in photographs or descriptions. Two items sent were not the items ordered and 2 items sent barely resembled what was ordered. When I first asked for a refund, "Brigitte" offered me 30% more of a discount because international returns are expensive. I then asked to return the items in person to Nelson & Parker New York. "Brigitte" then offered me a larger discount. I wrote back that I did not believe "Brigitte" was real and pointed out the similarities between https://brigittedianeboutique.com/ and https://nelsonandparker.com/ . I was then given a full refund. I am filing this to help others avoid fraud.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I never got an actual receipt with prices, shipping charges, and total—just a list of what I'd ordered, a link to track718.com, and a "tracking number." After three weeks, Track718 showed a package as having arrived from Hong Kong and cleared U.S. Customs, but no city/state locations were given for Customs or further processing stations, no U.S. carrier was listed, and all I had was a tracking number ending in HK that was invalid at USPS.com. I had asked the seller a few days earlier how I'd be able to track the package stateside and was merely told to be patient. On further investigation I found the report below from 4/22/26 (Thank you!); that track718.com has also been reported to the BBB and written up elsewhere; that the seller website was registered in China only a couple of months ago (WHOIS database); and that the entity charging my card appeared to be an LLC at a residential address in Colorado, not much older though listed in "good standing" at Bizapedia. A card agent said the LLC sold women's clothing. I couldn't find anything online to prove it, but that's not a main category at the site I used. After requesting a new card and providing the above information, I was refunded the charges.

Phishing - Phishing - Home Buying Scam

We got a letter from a Dale Price, Loyal Property Group, LLC, 1405 S Fern St-Unit 93479, Arlington, VA 22202, saying we had responded to a letter about the purchase of our property for a ridiculously low price. We would NEVER have done that, and we are now concerned about fraud. What can we do to protect ourselves? We normally just throw letters like this away, but the fact that they thanked us for responding (which we did not) is very unsettling. These people need to be stopped! Can you offer any help?

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered and PAID for two sets each of Outdoor/Indoor UV Resistant Artificial Flowers in two colors 40 days ago, on APRIL 7. I have yet to receive the item, and the tracking updates have completely stopped. The last update I had was on 2026-05-05 05:43:20 UTC which indicated the item was in Minneapolis. The message provided was that the shipment is IN TRANSIT in the country of United States. I have been in contact with the company and their responses are that the fault lies with "logistics carrier's end — they haven't been scanning packages as quickly as usual." and "We will ensure that you receive your package as soon as possible. We have asked the carrier to expedite transportation speed. But sometimes the logistics has some delay. Therefore, we are unable to provide you with an exact time at this time." I am totally dissatisfied with this whole process, and their responses to my concerns have been completely disingenuous. I feel scammed - I am pretty sure I will never receive the items and I will be out $148.27.

Worthless Problem-solving Service - Mobile Auto Repair Scam

I had a small dent and several scratches on my 10 year old car due to normal wear and tear. I had been meaning to get these minor repairs done, but hadn’t found the time. The scammers were driving around in a Ford Expedition with a sign on at least one side advertising mobile/on the spot repairs. The sign specifically said “Same Day Mobile Auto Body Repair” then “head light restore . rust . scratches . bumper repair”. (Attempted to upload the pic I took of the sign on the truck but it’s too large). The driver got my attention by pointing at the dent and scratches I had on my car - promising he and another guy in his vehicle could fix these things in just a few minutes. He quoted a price of $500, which he then reduced to $300 as I was about to drive away. I parked a few spots away and told them to do the work. The two guys used a tool to pull the dent out of my car right there in the parking lot, then used a handheld sander and a spray to work on the scratches. Finally, they applied a blue wax and were ready to accept payment. When I asked if they were going to wipe away the wax, they told me no and that I’d need to wait 24 hours and avoid using any soap. I paid, waited at least 24 hours, and the scratches were all made worse once the wax was wiped away. It looked like they’d just sprayed over the scratches with spray paint that did nothing to conceal the scratches, but added larger, hazy areas around each of the scratches. I called the phone number on their sign and was soon blocked. Unable to contact them after two or three days, the credit card company reversed the charges. There was no business name on the sign, but the person who charged my card was Cory Anthony Jace. When I searched for that name online, this person was arrested back in 2013 for scamming senior citizens by doing the same thing. Do not waste the two minutes they promise their work takes, or your money.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

TryClimb.com advertises online that they sell Mary Ruth's Lymphatic Support liquid extract for $9.95 with $4.95 shipping. When you order then they offer an irresistible upsell 2nd bottle for $4.95 saying it will be added to your original order. Shortly after you accept the upsell and submit your order you see 2 separate order charges from TheLittleVariety.com in your transaction history. One for $19.68 and another for $24.68. When you email support about the over charges, they will respond saying you misunderstood. Then shutdown the email so you can't contact them any more. The product is a straight knock off of Mary Ruth's product down to the packaging (see attached picture). When it arrives it will be in one package but you were charged for two separate orders. If they're going to send it in one package, don't charge people 2 shipping fees. Then a few days later you will see an unauthorized charge from them in the amount of $39.97 (no order number, no shipping info) on your card transaction history. Beware of these people. They are straight selling knockoffs then they will try to steal your money again.

Phishing - Phishing - Loan Solicitation Scam

953. It should be a straightforward process. And in many cases, like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days, once everything is finalised. I've built strong relationships with both prime and separate lenders over the years, and that allows me to work through approvals a bit differently, and often secure more flexible terms when needed. We also don't need any collateral for this, so the funds can be used for anything you have planned. Rates are starting to move up slightly, but we can still lock in a lower 5.75% option right now. press one now or reach me at 877-578-1953. Ellen Hopkins here, based on what I'm seeing, this personal loan should be a straightforward process, and in many cases like yours, we can have funds available within just a few days. For example, if you're looking at borrowing around $25,000 at approximately 5.75%. Your payment could be about $458 per month. We can also adjust the structure to better fit your budget. When you have a moment, please call me back at 888-310-4836 again, 888-310-4836. And I'll go ahead and walk you through everything I called back and they told me they could not tell me the name of their company or address of their company until I signed up for a loan.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Recurring Subscription Scam

I registered for what was presented as a free trial with Creative Fabrica to test their AI video generation service. After signing up, I received an invoice showing a charge of 0.00 (Reference: XPN3MTMT-0001), which led me to reasonably believe that my account was still under the free trial period. However, I later discovered that they had sent a second email within the same email thread showing that I had been charged on the same date (Reference: XPN3MTMT-0002). This paid charge was not sufficiently clear or distinguishable from the original free trial invoice, and I did not notice it at the time. Approximately two weeks later, I noticed the charge on my account. During this period, I continued using the service because I genuinely believed I was still accessing the free trial version. I had no intention of subscribing to a paid plan, and had the billing conversion been clearly disclosed, I would have cancelled immediately. When I contacted the company to request a refund, they refused, stating that I had used the service. However, my usage was based on the reasonable understanding that I was still within the trial period due to the unclear billing notification. I am reporting this as a misleading subscription billing practice and requesting review of this transaction, as the transition from free trial to paid subscription was not clearly and conspicuously communicated.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase - Delivery Fee Scam

I purchased motorcycle parts from Nitro Cycle Works (3 parts for $660 total) and the morning of 514/26 received an email from Atlax Express saying they had my items but couldn't ship them directly to my address unless I paid $377 in insurance using the Chime app. I sent it using the Chime app. Then they told me that was a mistake and the insurance was actually $676 so I owed an extra $299. I tried agian through Chime and the payment wasn't going through. I contacted the seller (NitroCycleWorks) and the seller said Atlax Express is the shipping company they use and the money I'm being charged will be refunded as soon as the items arrive to my house. I said the payment wasn't going through and sent the seller the $299 instead, which he sent to Atlax Express. Atlax then denied both charges because they were coming from two different sources, so this morning (5/15/26) I sent the seller the full $676 to send to them directly. I recieved an email from Atlax saying the priority package insurance deposit was confirmed, however, Atlax wasn't able to pick up the package from the storage facility because it is pending a $577 demurrage clearance fee due to sitting there for 13 hours. I paid the $577 fee and recieved an email asking fot more money. I still have not received the $676 they did not accept. I contacted the seller and told them I want a full refund and they can keep the parts, but they said I wouldn't get a refund for items that they've already shipped out and all I need to do is pay the refundable shipping costs to get my items. I also told Atlax I want a refund and they told me that I just need to pay the extra fees or they will consider my package abandoned and will turn them over to the authorities who will charge me even more money for the package.

Online Purchase - Sophie and Grace Savannah

Purchased 2 dresses from what looked like a beautiful company out of GA, started by a Mother and Daughter. Merch portrayed as quality but in reality the Product was VERY inferior and sizing was all wrong. Web states 30-day money back guarantee. Now they will only provide a 10% "goodwill offer" refund or free additional item after requesting pictures of the items which I'm sure deters many people. I sent the pictures over and every email they send is a different offer other than the return of merch for money back. The highest refund offer is 20%. The front page also says free shipping anywhere in the U.S. leading you to believe the return shipping would be in the U.S. as well, but it is to China.
