Phishing - DIRECTV - ATT - Impostor

I was contacted through a number that showed a t and t in directv. They said that my fifty dollar promo from doordash had expired because of the federal u s federal government, and that for me to maintain my bill, the way that it is now, I would have to pay for a year in advance to have eighty five dollars a month as my bill. The first thing that alerted me is that I asked, well, if I don't do the $50 promo of DoorDash, then I'll just pay my bill regular. So I really don't want to do it. The second thing that alerted me is that I don't do DoorDash. I don't have a DoorDash account. I don't live in an area that can do DoorDash. So it's silly to me. The third thing that alerted me is they wanted me to drive to Price, chopper and get six DoorDash cards. And put a thousand dollars on the doordash cards and call them back with the numbers.And then the threatening started.They threatened me verbally over the phone, and they threatened me through voicemails.And I have those voicemails, you will send one of them to you.

Online Purchase - Nicole's Coastal Boutique Nantucket - VEVA Ecommerce

On 4/8/26 I purchased online clothing from Nicole's Coastal Boutique Nantucket. The descriptions of shirts and sizing advise were inaccurate. On arrival it was very evident that the clothing materials and design did not match what was advertised online and indicated in the description of the clothing or photos. I tried to initiate a return and was only sent an email that indicated that I could receive a discount on future purchases instead of a return and refund. I contacted them again asking for information on a return and refund and was once again given a greater discount for a future purchase. I sent a 3rd email asking for the return address and information and including I wanted only to return clothing and have a refund. Nicole's then sent a long email including info on avoiding actual customs fee value they recommended $5.00), limited refund etc. The address is apparently in China, adding time and the possibility of nothing arriving there or me getting a refund.

I purchased 6 bottles of what was advertised to be "KittyJoy Silver Vine Fruit Extract", pictured in a glass 20 ml bottle. What I received was "Yegbong Catnip Spray" in a 100 ml plastic bottle, and it was absolutely a different product. My cats went crazy for the Silver Vine Fruit Extract spray, and this product does not contain any silver vine fruit extract. It contains castor oil and peppermint extract, which is not catnip or silver vine. I did absolutely nothing. I contacted the company right away and asked to return the product for a refund as it was completely misadvertised. I also sent them a screenshot from their website showing they are advertising a different product than the one they delivered. I was offered a $20 refund of the $60.04 I spent. I responded that while I appreciated the concession, it was not acceptable since I have no use for what they sent, and I reiterated that I didn't receive what was advertised. They responded that if I shipped the product back to their location in China at my expense, they would refund the purchase price. I pressed them for a shipping label, but they didn't respond. When I asked again, they again told me I would have to ship the product back to China before I could receive a refund. I am nervous about spending the money to ship the product back, given their promise of a refund. Not only should they pay for return shipping since they misadvertised and sent a significantly subpar product, but I am also nervous about spending more money and never receiving a refund.
