This company will sell you a dog toy for $15 which is fine, but barely worth $10. It is direct shipped from China. No branded box, no instructions. Then they will charge your credit card a couple weeks later $40 for a “PUPA+ Membership” which is nothing but a “membership” fee that allows you to buy more crap from them. There is NOTHING on the initial product page that tells you about this. And if you don’t go to their website to cancel it, they’ll charge this $40 EVERY MONTH!

Tax Collection

Voicemail was left on my phone. Transcribed below. "Good morning, this is Kathy McDowell calling from the Active Relief Center at (877) 875-2082. I'm reaching out because our records indicate you may have unresolved back income taxes. This could be an older balance that wasn't fully taken care of, or penalties and interest that have continued to add up over time. I understand that tax issues can be stressful and easy to put off especially if you've been getting a lot of notices, or automated calls. Right now, we're reviewing accounts like yours for a new option called the zero tax program. In some cases, it may reduce what you owe or even eliminate a qualifying balance, depending on your situation and the program guidelines. My role is to help you understand wherre you stand, and see whether any of these options might apply to you. To check your eligibility, you can speak with a tax advisor by calling (877) 875-2082. If you've already resolved your back taxes, or prefer not to recieve further calls, you can call that same number, (877) 875-2082, and press 9 to be removed from our list." I have recieved several calls using similar scripts and calling the number does not do anything: the number is not real, and is not the same from call to call.

I reacted & paid this scammer $1200.53 via gift cards I had purchased a while ago. I had also given them my debit card number to set up the next payment. After I had set up the payment, never signed or returned the "required" documents, I looked up Winsor Legal Group, they are based in AZ, I called the number & they confirmed this is a scam. They receive calls daily. I opened a case with our local police department, contacted the gift card company (who started an investigation) & contacted my bank to replace my debit card ASAP.

However after much back and forth correspondence with Ashley over the last 4 months- I finally called her out on inconsistencies- no shipping information, no address of the company, fake names, ect- she admitted to me she is in fact a scammer and refused to give me her address in America because she’s from overseas.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

I booked a flight through them, and on the day of departure, I received an email prompting me to check in online. However, when I attempted to check in, I was unable to do so. Concerned, I called the airline directly before heading to the airport and discovered that someone from the Kiss and Fly team had canceled my ticket days earlier—without my knowledge or consent. As a result, I was unable to travel that day. When I contacted Kiss and Fly’s customer service, they were not only unhelpful but also dismissive, even laughing when I asked to be rebooked on another flight. I was left waiting for hours with no clear answer as to whether I could be rebooked that same day or the next. Ultimately, I had no choice but to purchase a last-minute ticket through another provider, which cost nearly twice as much as my original booking. I then initiated a refund request with Kiss and Fly, which took several days to process—unreasonably slow given the situation. Since then, I have been trying to recover the price difference between my original ticket and the new one, but I have received no meaningful response. My attempts to escalate the issue and speak with a manager have gone unanswered. This experience has been extremely frustrating. I strongly advise others to avoid doing business with them.

Do Not Order from this company. I ordered a ring in January and by March I hadn't received it. I also ordered a sweater. I wanted to return it, but they said they didn't accept returns. Their website says NO RETURNS, on one page, and 30 day Returns on another. I finally received my package, and it had a cheap, ugly sweater in it and the wrong ring. I contacted them again. They took "full responsibility and said that they would send out the right order right away. I even sent them photos. The package came and it was the same ugly sweater and wrong ring. Again I contacted them. They said they couldn't open the case again because they had already sent me a complimentary replacement. I argued with them over and over, but began to think. I was dealing with AI because their responses came immediately and some of them seemed identical to others. I wasted so much time writing to them over an over. We must have exchanged 25 emails each.

Online Purchase - Simple E-tax Filing

I started a new business and needed an EIN. I did not realize I could contact the IRS directly to apply. So, I filled out the online form and submitted it to the vendor. Then, I received a notice from the vendor telling me what the federal EIN would be. The notice also said I would be receiving official correspondence from the IRS with my EIN and instructions. The vendor notice had my personal information and an EIN which I have not been able to verify. I noticed that the DBA had N/A for the name. I contacted the vendor and asked why that was. They emailed me that I had filled out the online form that way and they could not change the IRS form. They gave me detailed information so I could submit the correction to the IRS which I did. I also requested a refund because they had not contacted me when the online form submitted did not have the Sole Proprietor information. After going back and forth, I requested a refund again. They emailed that they had provided the service and their policy is I would not get a refund. I emailed one last time saying that their website said they would contact me with issues and if there is an error, they would contact me with the issues. They did not. I still don't have the official IRS notice or the substitute they will send if you need a copy of the IRS information. I have contacted the IRS twice with letters and have received no response. Here is a copy of the information on the Simple E-tax Filing website. Here they say that they work directly with the IRS on my behalf to ensure the application is completed. This was not done. What does the EIN filing service cost? The fee for our service is $319 and includes a simplified EIN application and comprehensive application review by our team of experts before submitting to the IRS. We work directly with the IRS on your behalf to address any follow-up questions to ensure your EIN order is completed. We also provide support along the way and a customer portal to check your order status and retrieve your EIN and business information at any time.

Scammers were on TikTok live selling products. I ordered from them on 3/24 with an expected delivery date of 3/29. On 3/29 my order still has not shipped. I asked the guy on live when my order wound ship and he ignored me repeatedly. The following day there was 2 guys on live and I asked the same thing repeatedly again. 1 guy accused me of ordering from a “fake link” even though it was his link. I told him that and continued asking why they were ignoring me. They just continued to keep trying to sell their product. After over 50 attempts to get an answer on where my order was, they blocked me. I had to get ahold of TikTok customer service to get a refund, which I still have not got. They have blocked me so I can not message them at all.

Counterfeit Product - Viralaluna

I ordered the color changing Korea foundation stick on February 26th from viralaluna after seeing the ad on snapchat. Initially I never received a tracking number or anything so I emailed them asking for tracking information. I received the tracking information but it never changed. By March 26th (a month later) I was still waiting on my order. I received a small sticker with print on it that was barely legible and didn't make any sense. I never received my foundation. I have sent many emails with no responses. I tried calling the customer service number and it's disconnected. At this point I just want my money back and I don't want other people to be scammed by this place.

Online Purchase - Torres Publisher

I paid this company $1,000.00 to copyright my book. I asked for documentation for months, and nothing. They attempted then to go into my account and take an additional $1,000.00 without my consent. I had to block my card and contact my bank right away. These people are criminal. I received no justication for nothing. I am not sure what docs do you need. I need a certificate from them confirming my copyrights. if you contact me, I can send you a screen shot of my bank statement

Online Purchase - Lumen

Had placed an order for the cat tree tower, advertised as $29 plus $7.99 shipping, total $37.98, however realized after submitting the order that this advertisement is a scam. It appeared to be valid as it initially appeared to be from the TikTok shop from Lumen. Did not notice until after the fact of placing the order that it rerouted to a fake Lumen site. Fraudulent/Scam, the payment was obtained by: **PinkMelHomeStudi**
