Online Purchase - NanoPolix

The ordering process for these nanopolix was unclear as to how much you were ordering and how much the final price was. Within 15 mins ordering, I contacted customer service (CS) to cancel. CS said she will cancel the order since it was just put in. Well, she lied. Next day, I received an email saying that my order is being sent to fulfillment. I contacted CS again and now was told that they can't cancel my order and that my only recourse is to do a return for a refund. They quickly took money from my PayPal account and took 3 weeks to send the product. Once I received the product, I contacted them to do a return. Multiple emails with them offering me a discount refund, ie, refund me 20% but I get to keep their product, etc. No deal, I just want my money back. Finally, they gave me an address and tell me to mail it with a tracking number, where I'm paying out of my own pocket to mail back the return. Fine. I mailed back the return with the tracking number. I emailed it to them. I also emailed them once they picked up from the USPS. CS sent me an email and tells me that my refund will occur in 3-5 business days. I gave them 10 business days, still nothing. I contacted via phone asking for my refund. CS tells me she will check. No, I want her to check will on the phone. She then tells me that they refund will be processed. She sent me an email saying that if I paid through PayPal, refund is immediate. I gave them 2 days, still no refund. I contacted CS AGAIN only to be told that their financial department is having trouble with processing my refund. This company is CROOKED. Please take their business license away. All they are doing is hoping the customer will give up on asking for their money back.

Online Purchase - Lyra Kitchen

I bought a Profitic MOVE Espresso Machine on the website for Lyra Kitchen for $1,124.50 with my credit card on 8/3/26. Today, 8/6/26, I received an email stating that my order (1064) was canceled by email which I never sent. I saw the supposed email, and it was not sent by me. They canceled my order with tracking number. The tracking number said it was in transit but that is a lie! I called the company and they apologized but didn't reverse charges. Review the Lyra Kitchen reddit string. Reddit commenters investigated the address which is a small house in Sacramento and the area code is 518 not CA area code plus the cost of kitchen items is too good to be true. I was scammed.

Online Purchase - Margot and Ivy

Margot and Ivy is not a brick and mortar store in Greenville, South Carolina, nor is it a "mother/daughter" business. It is a very polished scam website claiming the above. The clothing, if received, comes from China, extremely poor quality and craftmanship. When trying to receive a refund, it can take weeks before any information is given via email for returning the clothing. A person is then informed they can keep the clothing and receive a 10% refund, which they will never receive OR send the clothing back to China at the consumer's expense. Disturbing to say the least and totally fraudulent.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - My Store Fake Shop.app Advanced Fee Invoice Phishing and Identity Theft Scam

I was notified by my Shop app that I had an order pending from a store literally called My Store for a very expensive order(I had not placed an order), and a few minutes later I got a SECOND notification of another identical "order." There are no pictures or thumbnails of a product for either one. The page for the store doesn't do anything or go anywhere when clicked. If you go to "Manage order" it takes you to a page that says something is wrong this store is unavailable. If you click the three dots button to the side of the order It brings up several options of Mark order as delivered, Copy order number, Archive order, Report issue with this order, Report this order as fraudulent, then Delete. If you click either of the report functions it redirects you to ShopIFY(different app) If you select fraud it tries to make you sign up for a Shopify account for $1 a month in order to report it. I don't believe they have actually charged my card or gotten any money from me, as I am not seeing any charges for the amounts listed from my bank, but just in case I paused my debit card incase it just hasn't gone through yet. Below I have all the information for the orders listed. "Order #3088 Aug 6, 2026 Thank you for your purchase. Your Geek Squad PC Protection Plan is active for 12 months.

Someone keeps calling me stating they are Mark Owens, he has a very heavy Latin or Asian accent. He says he is with U.S. Civil Queens and Services. I tried looking up this company but nothing comes up. He is saying he has a time sensitive matter and wants me to call him back at 888-621-4060 extension 420. I looked up this phone number and it comes up as High Spam. The caller ID numbers he calls from are always different and when I look them up they all come back to different individuals, not a business. He is now calling my family members.

I am reporting this incident because I was wary of the email interview offer I had received on a remote data entry clerk position. I was initially interested in the offer but grew suspicious when the name of the emailer, Jared R. Joyner, did not match the email, [email protected]. They told me I would do a 45 minute interview with Susan Welgush on Microsoft Teams. I had texted through Teams but did not receive a response for a day until RIGHT after I responded to the actual email the next day which led me to believe that they are all one person. “Susan” had responded that she works for Nervastral Inc., so I googled both the Isabella email and the company and came across previous reported instances of both which is why I am here reporting this incident now. According to the other reports, they did give some personal information to them after a very easy and successful interview which I recommend to NOT do (my boyfriend fell for a different job scam a couple months before and his info was stolen and his bank was “hacked”).

On a recommendation, this group was contracted for perform at a birthday party on Aug. 2, 2026. The signed contract is attached.

When you answer, a recording is a male Black voice states he is finalizing a file and needs current location to deliver this urgent matter, and to call the 844 number before escalation occurs. The voice attempts to be intimidating like an angry parent or abusive colleague. You have OFFICIALLY been NOTICIED. GOOD LUCK. I have recorded each call 3x in 2 days. They use a spoofed local number, different each time. Without a doubt they would pretend to be a debt collector wanting to settle a debt. They did not identify the company they are pretending to be, nor what the urgent matter is. The 844 number results in spam/scam identification online.

On May 14, 2026 I applied for the reserve direct card and was approved and on that same day I paid the fee to start the program. I was initially told that the delivery time would be between 7 to 10 business days and so I waited. After 10 days no card ever arrived and so I called them and they said that there is a delay with the post office and that it would be there by the end of the week which was another 4 days. So I waited. Once again, nothing! By the end of June I still have not received the card neither any explanation as to the delay. So I requested to cancel my application and refund. I was told that the application was cancelled and that my refund should be back in my account in 5 to 10 business days. It is not August and I have yet to receive my refund. I contacted both by calling and emailing support but never received any correspondence. And so after two months not only did I not get my card but they took my money and quit responding to any of my attempts to contact them. I would suggest that if anyone who is considering using them, don’t do it! It is not a legitimate company!

Received mail marked response requested ASAP. I opened the envelope. It had a customer ID number, expiration date of 8/14/2026 and said response to this notice requested. Important you contact our office at 888-928-1981 upon receiving this notice to avoid any unnecessary delays in your coverage before 08/14/2026. This notice is to inform you that your property's home warranty secured by, and then listed our bank, may be expiring or has already expired. Our records indicate that you have not contacted us yet to get your home warranty up to date. Please call immediately as this will be our final attempt to notify you about activating your home warranty. Failure to call and prevent a potential lapse in coverage could result in you becoming liable for all costs associated with any home repairs. We reserve the right to revoke your eligibility for service coverage after the expiration date? Signed by Jeff Morton program director, it gave the operating hours and then had a reference customer ID number. Also had in small print: not affiliated with your previous coverage and we are not affiliated with your current mortgage holder. I contacted my bank. They said that it has nothing to do with my bank that it's a scam. So I called Guardian Protection Group and told them to take me off of their mailing list for the third time. He cussed at me and told me that I have never called and I argued with him and told him I had. He told me I was crazy and it would show on my file with them if I had called. I again told him to remove me from his mailing list and he hung up on me. I looked this company up on Google and found: They are in Missouri and their website is: [email protected] I'm wanting people to know that this company is not affiliated with mortgage companies so they don't get scammed into buying anything from them.

Phishing - Miamors Wishing Well

This individual identified themselves as Brandy Brown, a mediator, but texted me from a client's phone, using the client's personal information (name and DOB), which is not legal. The issue was about an eviction mediation, and when I told the sender to reach out to the client's landlord, the sender said that I need to call them immediately and that it is strange that I am not doing my job to prevent eviction (again, I am not a landlord and have no control over eviction). When someone else attempted to call the number, the voicemail did not have any identifying business information and we were unable to confirm the 503c they claimed to be from was legitimate. A mediator would know that they need to reach out to a landlord to mediate for eviction and also are to remain impartial, which leads to me to think this individual is a scammer or does not actually know how to mediate.

Blouse on sale for $39.99 under Talbots name. Ordered the blouse on July 17. Arrived at my house on Aug 1. It was not the blouse I ordered. The fabric I thought I was getting was 38% linen and 62% cotton. The fabric that arrived said 100% linen but in actuality it is polyester. The blouse I ordered had a pleat in the back. This one does not. I have been in contact with the company, [email protected], who said that if I want a refund, I have to pay $20 for postage or I could keep the blouse and they would give me a 15% coupon on my next order. They were not responsible for lost packages. I contacted Talbots and they said it was a company using their name. It was not them. I decided to keep the blouse since I do not trust them to give a refund since they said it would be over a month before it could be processed.

Their ad popped up on my phone. I was not searching the internet to buy this product. It was a "hand made" bag with sheep that were 2 dimensional on the front and each side of the bag. It came in several different backgrounds and one was showing vibrant, colorful sheep. I bought one for myself and then I quickly thought of two people I love that might like this bag too, so I popped back in and ordered 2 more along with another bird bath. I could NOT find these bags on their website today!! When I received the bags, I carefully opened them because the bags were very small for something that had 2D characters sticking out of the bag. That's when I saw that these were a flat pattern of sheep on a quilted fabric!! Nothing more. It was lined but it was much smaller than it looked in the picture. They were $59 each! When I contacted them the next day to start a return process, they kept pushing the "keep them and we'll give you 25%" of your money back. This is the exact wording from their website: Refunds We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you’ll be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at [email protected] THIS is the last email they sent me today (See below). NOTE: Now I won't receive a full refund but 35% of my TOTAL purchase AND I'm going to be reponsible for the $25+ shipment to return the package! So all they are giving me an opportunity to recoup is either 25% if I don't do anything and just suck up a lower quality product OR spend a good chunk of money and send them back but only receive 35% of my total $180! Heyyy Debra, We totally understand your frustration and will implement your feedback. We're very surprised that it's not working for you. We would like to reiterate that, as previously communicated, the customer is responsible for return shipping costs. Furthermore, according to our company's current policy, a 35% refund is the maximum amount that can be granted under these circumstances. We apologize for any inconvenience this may cause, but this is the final solution we can offer. If there's anything else we can help you with, please don't hesitate to contact us. We're happy to help :) Best regards, Janet from CRAFTFOLK

Phishing - Auto Warranty

My phone initially blocks spam calls and marks them as such. Have had 3 individuals leave messages from different phone numbers that I am to call one of their team members back as their services could save me a lot of money on costly repairs.

Employment - Climaire Mechanical Services

I had two interviews for a Payroll Clerk Position. Was told I was hired and the company would send a company laptop and printer. After a week of training I still had not received my laptop or printer and they said they are needing to synchronize it with the company software and that it is on the wait list. That was two weeks ago and now the person who was supposed to be my manager Marilyn McGhee is not responding to email or phone call or text.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Fourtune wheelz

I had a very disappointing experience with this platform. I won a $25 prize that was advertised as redeemable, but before I could claim it, I was told I first had to make a deposit. Although I didn't agree with that requirement, I went ahead and deposited money, completed the identity verification process, and submitted my redemption request. The $25 was then removed from my Fortune Wheels account and transferred to a third-party redemption service. After waiting over a day, my redemption request was denied without a clear explanation. To make matters worse, my account was then locked for no apparent reason, leaving me unable to access it or get meaningful support. Another concern is that the platform regularly sends promotional emails encouraging users to sign up for other social casinos, which only added to my concerns about how the platform operates. Based on my experience, the redemption process was misleading, communication was poor, and customer support failed to provide any reasonable explanation for the denial or account lock. I cannot recommend this platform to anyone looking for a fair and transparent experience.

Phishing - Passport Scam

I googled forms for us passport and this website came up, I have never applied for a passport, so I didn't realize the application is free. This website is posing as a government website. I also just received a phone call concerning the check my husband used that there is a problem with the fee. So now I don't know if that is real either.
