BBB Scam Tracker

I ordered fabric from this site at a discounted price. Paid through PayPal and never received a confirmation of the order. I had no way to contact them. The email address given bounced back my message. A few days later my credit card had several attempts to charge items on it. I also received a call from someone pretending to be from Citi bank. They said someone was trying to buy concert tickets in NJ for $1900 and he wanted me to open my app and hit accept on the pop up window. The strange part is that within the app he was able to get a pop up window to open for me to authorize payment. He said that would authorize the refund process. At that point I hung up and called Citibank and they said there is no charge for $1900 pending but there were several other fraudulent charges. I have canceled my card.

I went on shopify to look for a generator and stampstorebuynew came up with a generator, i purchased it through affirm and nevered received it..i emailed the company and never got a response. Now im paying affirm for something i nevered received

I purchased 2 bras from Bombonds.com. They sent a text asking about how the delivery was. They told me my order will take a little longer. It stiil has not been received. They stopped communicating with me when I asked for their resident agent.

I was not able to scan my Lowe's receipt to get to the official Lowe's website for the sweepstakes. So I typed in Google the URL on my receipt and the first one that showed was this scammers website, which I was unaware of my mistake at the time. This scammers website URL (https://lowescomm/survey) is deceiving and I realize now that I didn't pay close enough attention before launching it. I thought I was clicking on the official lowes.com for the sweepstakes (www.lowes.com/survey). The fake website had the Lowe's logo and appear to be the same information that the official Lowe's website requests to be submit for the sweepstakes. After submitting my entry it said that I had won the $500 and to call the number listed. I called and there was a lot of background noise with poor English speaking people, It sounded like a call center. She said that I could use the $500 anywhere with an e-gift card. She asked if I had an iPhone or an Android. After telling her I have an Android she asked me to open my Lowe's app and search for MyLowes Money. She knew exactly how to walk me through getting to that part of the app and I had no reason to believe at this time it was a scam. She then directed me to my Play store and open up my Google account. She had me send myself $100 onto my Google account for a "fake distribution number", then I can void it out. I did do this but felt very leery. But so far no money had been exchanged except from my PayPal account to my Google account. She then wanted me to give her the code on my Google account for the $100 transfer. After she asked for the code number I knew that it was a scam. I refuse to give her the code. She insisted that she is the one that have me the code by directed me to do this and therefore it's coming from them. But of course I am the one that did the full transaction with my accounts & the code was mine & didn't come from them. When I confronted her that this sounds like a scam, she insisted this is how everyone does it, and tried to get me to do other ways like through the DoorDash app. I refused to give her the code number and she become very belligerent and started swearing at me telling me I was a stupid fucking bitch. Then she hung up on me. If it wasn't for the foreign accent and my instinct telling me this is a scam I could have easily been out $500 and I'm sure this has happened to many others because they sound very convincing and the website looks official. Thank you BBB for taking the time to read this and hopefully alert others to this terrible scam. Sincerely, ****** ******

Hi there, this is Heather Holland. It seems like you applied with one of our lending partners, and you didn't like their offer. I can get this personal loan approved for you with better term. Press one or call me at 855-357-2200

Constantly get the same voicemail claiming to be a heather holland, sometimes a man’s voice every day. Sometimes multiple times a day, and claiming I’ve applied for a loan and they need personal details to finalize the loan I never applied for.

I notice that someone named the McClure business strategies made a deposit to my PayPal for .01 PHP on 3/11/2026 then on 3/31/2026 it was removed. I called PayPal and they did nothing they told me there was nothing there and now my account is showing a negative $79 and I am receiving nasty calls and emails. I just tried to talk to PayPal again and got no where just told there was no negative amount and my account isn't locked - but it is. Please help how do I get them to see what i see and help to fix this.

Contacted the supplier WOYUSON via email because I was unable to locate a phone number. Emailed the company inquiring about the product ordered because on SHOP, it stated that the item ordered was returned, and I was asked to verify the address where the product was supposed to be received. What they had on record was my address; however, they claimed the location was a vacant lot, and the item was sent back to the company. The company requested that I confirm my address. This left me questioning the legitimacy of the email response. Gave me the impression that the email was AI-generated. I sent another email requesting a full refund of the amount spent on the item. This resulted in crickets, no response.

I fell victim to the 9.99 couch scam. I paid for the sofa and protection of delivery. After which my card was used in an attempt to purchase from a company out of state but thankfully my credit union flagged the purchase. I had to cancel my card. Since late march I've received several notices of "attempted delivery" with reasons for failure including: no one was home, the truck broke down, an access code was needed, package was loaded on the wrong truck, the truck was misrouted, it was.delivered to a neighbor. When reaching out to support the first time, we were assured it was a very real order and it would be delivered soon. Subsequent requests for follow-up have been ignored.

Noticed a debit from my account that did not specify or describe the item. I did not order from this scam cite nor do I know what it is. I called the number (844-956-3759) and left a message to inform the answering service that their number was being used to scam people out of their money using that company's number on May 9, 2026. I will be contacting my financial institution to let them know the charge of $29.95 is/was a fraud and a scam.

I keep receiving an email from this entity stating that I am approved for a loan that I never apply for or anything so I keep emailing this business back stating that it’s a fraudulent matter I have not applied for anything but they keep sending the same email which is uploaded below. I’m not sure of the exact times I was sent this email but I’m accounting at least 15 to 20 times.

Purchased 2 stretch pants from their website (TataCharm.com). Was not satisfied with fit or material quality and wanted to return for refund. Based on total amount for items, estimated shipping/ tax was $4.99 (supposedly from their warehouse, which we come to find out is in Vietnam). Kept getting run around offers for replacements at a reduced price or minimal refund 10% of purchase price. When insisting did not want replacements, we were told we could send the items back to their warehouse in Vietnam for a full refund (cheapest shipping option is $19 but the original order apparently only cost $4.99 shipping, why the vast discrepancy?) With shipping cost to them we would be losing about $17. They also offered a 30% refund if we didn't want to return, meaning we would get only $11.38 back. Either way we are out a fair amount of cash for the junk we received.

Called twice saying that their client flagged me as avasive and none conforming. They had tried a number of times by phone and mail. This is a attempt to collect a debit.

Up to twenty robo calls per day. Opting out does nothing. I have opted to speak to a "live agent" multiple times to get info on the company and have gotten rude, non responsive and inconsistent info from different agents representing the company. Repeated requests to not receive any more solicitation results in an increase in the call frequency.

I was looking for a dogtracker and did a search. The ItagPro came up as the best one, so I purchased it. Then it asked if I wanted additional items to go with it, and when I answered "No", it continued asking if I wanted other items about 3 more times, before finally placing the order. I put in my credit card information and then it asked me for a review of how things went, which was a little weird considering I had not received the product to do a review. That was my first "alarm", then it did not give me the total amount paid which most webpages give you including tax, second "alarm". I took a picture of confirmation of purchase (which I usually do whenever I purchase on the internet). Then on the bottom of the page it gave a phone number for help, an email address, and then gave their address as somewhere in Lithuania. Because of my feelings of "alarms" I did a search of the company on the internet and found quite a few fraudulent complaints, so I called the number (313-464-0065) to cancel my order, got through and they said they would cancel it and I should see it in about a half hour. I asked the person I spoke to what her name was and to give me a confirmation number for our phone call and my cancellation. She gave me one and I repeated the number back to her. The person who spoke had very good english without an accent which made me suspicious if their address was in Lithuania, and when I checked the phone number prefix of 313, found out that it comes from Massachusetts, USA. This was my third "alarm". I then checked my credit card information on the internet and it showed that a charge had gone through of whatever the amount was, and a credit had also been put through, but the charge and the credit were not exactly the same and off by a few pennies. Every other credit I receive is always the exact same as the charge, so this was my fourth "alarm". I was lucky to get my refund though! I immediately called my credit card company, explained what had happened and asked them to cancel my card and issue me a new one, as I do not want this fake company making purchases on my credit card now or at a later date. I learnt my lesson, always check before buying, especially on the internet!

to be clear, ive used the “DELETE ME” service to remove my name from call lists and data broker lists and i stull get multiple calls every day from different numbers and different states but all say its Heather Holland. here is the transcript my vm recieves each time they call and i am uploading a screenshot of my call log of the numbers called from. “ There, this is Heather Holland. It seems like you applied with one of our lending partners and you didn't like their offer. I can get this personal loan approved for you with better term. Press one or call me at 855-357-2205 and I will go over the loan conditions with you very quick. It looks like I'll be able to get you approved for a loan with better terms and potentially move this forward quickly once we confirm a few details. If you borrow $28,000 at $5.75%, your payment would be around $468. I can also request a higher amount if you need to borrow more or a lower amount if you need lower payment. Call me back at 877-961-0995 and I'll get this approved. I'll be here rest of the day today. Ask for Heather Holland”

Business Hours: Monday to Sunday, 10 AM – 7 PM EST Therefore I emailed to the address provided as well as text to the number provided. Here is the email response: [email protected] To: me · Fri, May 8 at 7:06 AM Message Body Hello, J! ?? I'm Aline Martins, your Senior VIP Support Analyst. I've personally taken on your case to ensure you receive the best technical guidance and the most advantageous solution for your investment and your health. ???? Your Strategic Advantage: The MemoPezil Elite Kit ???? I understand that you requested the cancellation of order A2KZ50M2 because you considered it a duplicate. However, I would like to clarify that the 12-unit package was a unique and exclusive upgrade opportunity presented after your initial purchase. As renowned experts like Dr. Phil emphasize, the key to solid and lasting results in cognitive health and memory is consistency. MemoPezil works through bioaccumulation: while some feel a difference in the first few weeks, science shows that the true "unlocking" of focus and mental clarity occurs between the 8th and 13th week of continuous use. By keeping both orders (totaling 18 bottles), you are not only making a larger purchase, but also securing a strategic advantage. You ensure that your brain receives the necessary bioactives for the complete transformation cycle, without interruptions, and with the best possible cost-benefit ratio. Why is physical return disadvantageous for you? ???? J, my role is to protect your wallet. If we opt for the physical return process for a "full refund," the real scenario ends up being costly: Administrative Fee (20%): The system mandatorily retains $140.06 (20% of your total of $700.30) to cover operational and tax costs. The Long Wait: A refund via mail takes 30 to 50 days to be completed after warehouse inspection. Shipping Costs: The shipping cost to return 18 heavy bottles would be your sole responsibility. My VIP Exception Offer (Clearance TODAY) ???? So that you don't have to deal with the post office and receive your money back now, I negotiated an Extraordinary Exception with my management: I authorize an immediate refund of 15% of the total value of your purchases ($700.30), totaling $105.04 back to your card, and you keep ALL the products: ?? $105.04 in your account TODAY: I will process the credit myself now. No 20% fees and no months of waiting. ?? Keep all 18 Bottles: You guarantee the complete treatment for lasting results, or you can even gift it to a loved one, preserving the total physical value of the kit. ?? Digital Gift (FREE): I'm attaching a strategic guide to boost your brain health. ??? 100% VIP Support: I will activate your satisfaction guarantee in advance for your complete peace of mind. This is the smartest decision: you receive $105.04 instantly and keep a complete elite protocol in hand without the stress of returns. ??? Can we close this deal for $105.04 and I'll finalize everything for you right now? Just reply with: “YES, I ACCEPT”. Sincerely, Aline Martins Senior Support Analyst | MemoPezil VIP Team To which I have responded: To: Aline, · Fri, May 8 at 2:10 PM Message Body Hello Aline Martins Thank you for responding to my request to cancel the A2KZ50M2 order. I appreciate the offer to modify the terms. Since I was prompt in my request I thought it might be possible to make a clean cancellation and full refund. I do not recall reading anywhere that there would be an Administrative Fee. I do not recall acknowledging any contract with the purchase made on line. I understand returning the order would be my responsibility via the USPS. Therefore I would appreciate my original request for cancellation honored. Sincerely This matter is unresolved and I will follow up!

The took rent down payment for a non existent apartment

Based on my research, this is a brushing scam - a scheme that uses real people's names and addresses to create fake verified reviews online.

I have been receiving small packages in my mail box with facial bubble mask. I did not order. They come 2-3 times a week.

Received two small packages with only a small packet of something labeled as facial product. No insert, invoice, or other correspondence and I never ordered anything like this item or anything from a Davve Garzaz.

Scammer pretends to be a lender offering $50,000 loan. Calls from spoofed number, but their call back number is 855-357-2205. They call 3 to 5 times a day.

Small facial cream product was sent in the mail to me at my address.

I am from Suffolk Va we just received info fron our city they were hacked and our info may be out there. 3 days in a row I recived from USPS a small white package..I did not order and am concerned.

Mailer package with a small piece of cardboard

Received one white and one black plastic package. This is the 4th package I have received and I will not be opening them.

I have received 7 or 8 packages from this guy. The first few were empty, but I do not open them up anymore. There appears to be something small in a few.

I had two separate packages addressed to myself at my home location that each contained a single facial mask packet only. Sent and delivered by USPS from a Davve Garzaz, 70 E Hawthorne Ave, Valley Stream, NY 11580. I did not and have never ordered the items in the past, and I know no one by this name.

Small package addressed to me contained an empty plastic mailer and nothing else.

I received 3 separate packages .with individual tube of Centella Asiatica Bubble Facial Mask in each package. I didn’t order it and was suspicious of where it came from or why it was sent to me

Received UNSOLICTED 2 tubes HUNMUI "moisturizing and beautifying skin double care". Did not recognize sender, so googled, and arrived at BBB notice of scam.

I was the victim of a money laundering/check fraud scam involving individuals who claimed to represent Empower and said I had been approved for a $5,000 loan. They began depositing checks of a few hundred dollars into my bank account, claiming these deposits were necessary “fees” required before the loan could be released. They told me that they would provide me with the money to cover those fees, so I would not be paying out of pocket. Some of those checks remained pending, some failed, and some cleared into my account. For the ones that cleared, they instructed me to transfer the money into my Cash App, purchase Bitcoin with it, and then send the Bitcoin to wallet addresses they provided. In some cases, they told me to leave a portion of the money in my Cash App. After doing this, they claimed that my $5,000 loan had been deposited into my bank account and would be available by midnight. The next morning, I checked my bank account expecting to see the loan funds, but my balance was unchanged, with no sign of the $5,000. When I contacted them, they told me they had attempted the deposit, but it was denied because my credit score was not high enough. They then claimed I needed at least a 750 credit score to qualify. They said they could “fix” my credit almost instantly by sending a few more deposits through my account and having me send those funds back to them. At that point, I became highly suspicious and stopped believing that they ever intended to send the loan. Additional deposits had already been sent into my account, and I transferred some of those funds into Cash App, but I refused to send any more money or Bitcoin to them. After that, I blocked all communication with them. They repeatedly tried contacting me from different phone numbers through calls and text messages, but I blocked each one until they eventually stopped. I was not able to transfer all of the most recent deposits because my bank (1st Advantage) has a weekly transfer limit. I was only able to transfer one of the three most recent deposits into Cash App. The other two were still sitting in my account because I could not move them until the following week. At that point, I had around $900 total showing across my accounts. I have three accounts: a personal checking account, a personal savings account, and a joint savings account. I had moved the $900 into my personal savings. The next day, I noticed that my joint savings account showed a balance of negative $684, my personal checking account was at $0, and my personal savings had dropped to $12. The day after that, the situation got even worse. My joint savings account showed a negative balance of over $3,000, my personal checking account was at negative $42, and my personal savings was at $0. I transferred the $50 I had left saved in my Cash App into my personal checking account to help offset the overdraft, which brought the checking account balance up slightly. Looking back, I recognize there were warning signs that I should have taken more seriously. For example: • They called me first claiming I was pre-approved for a $5,000 unsecured loan after supposedly “reviewing my profile,” even though my profile did not contain verified income information. • They never asked for proof of income or verified any consistent source of employment, benefits, or other repayment ability, which I now understand is standard for legitimate lenders. • When I asked about this, they brushed it off and told me not to worry about it. I had never taken out a personal loan before, so I did not fully understand how the process normally works. Because of that, I believed them when they said upfront fees were required before disbursement. What seemed odd to me was that they said they would provide me the money to cover those fees themselves. To do this, they sent me a link to what appeared to be an Empower website and instructed me to enter my online banking username and password so they could “deposit” the money into my account. After that, they asked me to send them a verification code that had been texted to my phone to finalize the process. That should have been one of the biggest red flags. At the time, I was uncomfortable because it seemed like they were trying to gain access to my bank account. I looked them up online because they identified themselves as “Empower LLC Corporation.” What I found online made them appear to be legitimate, with references to lending and retirement-related financial services, and there were positive reviews associated with the company. Shortly after, they also sent me what appeared to be a privacy policy from an Empower email address. That revived my trust in them, even though their methods and requests still felt unusual and suspicious. My thinking at the time was: if they were scammers impersonating Empower, how could they send me emails from what appeared to be an official Empower email address? I assumed that would require access to Empower’s systems, which I believed would be difficult because of multi-factor authentication. The truth is, I was also emotionally invested and excited at the prospect of receiving a loan. Originally, I had only intended to borrow around $900 to pay for a medical test that I feel I need. But when they said I was approved for up to $5,000, I started thinking about all the other expenses I could take care of. Before this, I had applied through several legitimate lenders and was denied by all of them. So even though I noticed warning signs and felt uneasy from the beginning, the relief and excitement of finally being “approved” overpowered my judgment. Looking back now, there were additional obvious signs: • They were the ones aggressively following up with me during waiting periods for deposits to process. • They seemed anxious when I was slow to respond. • They kept contacting me from new numbers after I started blocking them. That behavior makes no sense for a legitimate lender. If the loan was for my benefit, I should have been the one chasing them for updates—not them chasing me. I now understand that this was a coordinated scam involving fraudulent checks, unauthorized account access, and money laundering tactics, and I deeply regret participating in it, even unknowingly. The scammers contacted me using the email address: [email protected] They also contacted me and attempted repeated follow-up calls/texts from these phone numbers: 833-417-2274 812-447-0524 828-457-9312 539-286-8990 Looking back, I now recognize multiple red flags: they never verified income, asked for online banking credentials and verification codes, required Bitcoin payments, aggressively followed up with me, and pressured me to act quickly. I believe this was a coordinated fraud scheme involving fake loans, fraudulent checks, unauthorized account access, and cryptocurrency transfers. I am reporting this so it can be investigated and to help prevent others from becoming victims.

I received 3 of these packages with a face cream in them . It is on facebook that several people have been scammed by this man.

They first called, several times. Then emailed me and sent a video of what I’d be doing and then a lady called and wanted more information and pictures

Packages received Mon 05/04/26; 05/05/26;05/07/26; five packages received 05/08/26. not requested and no paperwork. single face mask included in each

Said I was going to receive $182,000.00 and needed ID sent to move forward with allication

Mail of item never ordered

The website looks legit but the item I received was in the wrong size, I ordered an XL, it came in 3XL and was misrepresented in material (should be wool, but came in acrylic) and was simply a horribly made garmet with button misspaced and collar too short. Fought for months trying to get around an AI chatbot, but was only successful in getting a partial refund. This is 100% a scam.

I was looking at my checking account and noticed two unexpected $20 transactions from this fraudulent company. I never signed up to their service. I don’t even know what their service is. when I called them to try to find out, they wouldn’t answer my questions and just promise that they would shut down my account. They would not refund my money.

Im a beginner makeup artist and this brand reached out to me wanting to make me a brand ambassador, I went through their website and ordered from them as it was a requirement but i never received my product i payed for and after a couple months they seem to have deleted their account or blocked me
