Counterfeit Product - GlucoZen

GlucoZen was/is advertised as a cure for diabetes. A long list of celebrities were used online to tout the effectiveness of this preparation. This was later found to be misinformation after further research, after I had ordered and paid 215.28 for three dropper bottles of 30 cc each of the preparation. My doctor advised me to send it back for a refund, which I did. He indicated that the ingredients were possibly of no value whatsoever in mitigating diabetes. He also indicated he had no idea the impact the contents would have when mixed with my current treatment. The order was returned with a tracking # with attempts to recover the refund were futile. Credit card company may issue a chargeback. See attachments.

Phishing - Optimal-Auction

I am reporting a fraudulent business operating under the name “Optimal-Auction” which appears to be intentionally impersonating a legitimate company, Optimal Auction Group, LLC. This fraudulent operation is advertising farm equipment, construction machinery, automobiles, commercial vehicles, and other equipment on its website at unusually low prices in an attempt to lure buyers into sending payment. The equipment being advertised does not appear to actually exist in their inventory, and the business itself does not appear to be legitimate. The name being used is intentionally similar to a legitimate company’s name, which creates confusion and falsely implies an association with a legitimate auction business. This impersonation has the potential to damage a company’s reputation and financially harm consumers who believe they are purchasing real equipment. Based on the evidence available, this appears to be a scam operation designed to collect money for equipment that they do not own or possess. I am requesting that this matter be investigated and that appropriate warnings or actions be taken to protect consumers from financial loss and to prevent further impersonation of a business.

Phishing - Paypal / impostor

Got a notification from Shop that 849 pounds were being paid via my Paypal. The notification indicated to call 802-342-1714 to contact if this was not me doing the transaction. Called the number. First time I was hungup on when questioned as they had me go to a website called Supremo and download something that in no way was Paypal. The second time I called a guy wanted me to go to my computer and press ctrl window alt key all at once. I was told that this was needed to file the complaint with Paypal and they access my computer because it was compromised. I questioned him again and said that this phone call could be the real scam and I hung up. Changed my paypal password and I see how people get scammed. They are very good.

Worthless Problem-solving Service

Trademark Advisers (trademarkadvisers.com), operating as Impactful Insights LLC, poses as a licensed trademark law firm. Neither representative Jason Walker nor Wayne Robson are registered USPTO practitioners — Attorney of Record on the filed application shows NONE. Payments are processed under "Impactful Insights LLC" to obscure merchant identity and complicate dispute filings. The scam follows a pattern of inventing fake USPTO fees at each stage: a false Office Action response fee of $1,300 was solicited in January 2026 — USPTO records confirm no Office Action was ever issued. A $600 Statement of Use fee was later demanded for a use-based application that requires no such filing — the representative admitted the error in writing only after being confronted with USPTO records. Wayne Robson is publicly identified as an alias used in this same trademark scam via USaTrademarkPros targeting independent business owners. FTC, FBI IC3, USPTO, and California AG complaints have been filed.

I purchased three dresses to try on from Nicole's Coastal Boutique. The web site it is located in Nantucket. The site says they have a 30 day hassle free return policy. The garments arrived from China with no tags. The return policy states it is the customers responsibility to pay for shipping, but did not indicate that the shipping is international. The return information sent on the return form states that all labels and plates must be present for a return (there were none). They also have the right to refuse any return. They highly recommend you keep the garments with a 10% refund and 20% off your next purchase. 95% of customers choose this option.

Online Purchase

Company advertised a “40% off” promotion, but the original listed prices appeared artificially inflated far above normal retail pricing. Example: Maison Francis Kurkdjian Baccarat Rouge 540 was listed around $880 before discount, resulting in a “discounted” price of approximately $530. However, the same fragrance is widely available from authorized retailers and department stores for about $495 regular retail price without any special promotion. This makes the advertised discount appear misleading because the “sale” price was still higher than normal market retail pricing. I believe this may constitute deceptive pricing or misleading advertising practices intended to make consumers believe they are receiving a substantial discount when they are not. I have screenshots of the advertised promotion, listed prices, and comparison retail pricing.

I ordered this beautiful, glittery silver shirt supposedly from the USA. It took forever to get it and, in tracking it, it appeared to come from China or some other country. When it finally arrived, it was not what I ordered. It was a cheap, thin tie dye shirt that looked nothing like what was advertised. I emailed the company on May 6 and they said I would get 50% of my refund right away and the other 50%, minus a restocking fee of 15%, when they got it back. I was refunded $9.99 immediately and that was all. I returned it certified mail and it was signed for but I never got any more of my money refunded to my credit card. Instead, they tried to charge me $39.99 a few days later and my credit card company flagged them and sent me an email and I told them that I did not authorize any more charges to them and they were supposed to send me a refund. I spoke to someone on the phone from my credit card company too and she cancelled my card immediately and they issued me a new one. I did email this company back on May 19 and never heard back from them. This fake company also goes by the name Belroshop and some of emails I received from them are from Belroshop.com. I will never order online again without checking with the BBB first.

When I looked up the company name and "scam" I found out that a lot of people have been duped by this company. I did file a refund request and complaint with paypal regarding my money, but this is really so not cool and I want to make sure it gets reported so they can be stopped. At least this time.

Items had the same patterns/shape as on the website but the material was NOT as described (i.e., website says linen blend, received cheap polyester; fit was ridiculous too tight on top, giant on the bottom), worse than something you'd buy on sale at Walmart. Website says "hassle free 30 day returns" but when I tried to return I got into an endless bot chat with them saying they'd offer 10%, 20% then 40% refund. When I said I don't want a refund because their produce is worthless then they told me I would have to return directly to CHINA costing me almost as much as what I was charged. There is no phone number or address (US or otherwise) for the company listed anywhere. I've uploaded the various email chains with what I believe is just a bot.

Today, May 22, 2025, I was scammed out of $297.67 by Essential Foods Direct at their tent sale at BBX Liquors in Edgewood, MD. It was pouring rain and they were not allowing many people under the tent, including myself who had my baby with me. They were very secretive — not displaying prices or letting customers see what they were actually getting before purchasing. While waiting, I watched them take a small package of meat, put it in a giant empty box, and present it to a customer like it was a huge haul of meat. That should have been my sign to leave, but I stayed. When it was my turn, the salesman showed me high quality meat as an example of what I would receive. What was actually placed in my box was visibly lower quality — nothing like what was displayed. This is textbook bait and switch. I was told the price would be $280 but was charged $297.67 — more than agreed upon with no explanation. To make matters worse, they pressured customers into leaving a tip, with the lowest tip option being $30 and going all the way up to $80. This felt extremely coercive, especially after already being overcharged. The seafood box was supposed to contain salmon, flounder, cod and other fish. Instead it contained crabcakes and lobster — items never mentioned. My father is severely allergic to shellfish. This is a serious safety issue. I have since seen multiple other customers reporting the exact same experience. I am disputing this charge with my bank and reporting this to the Maryland Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. In today’s economy, families are struggling to put food on the table. Including my family .I was trying to get a good deal to feed my family and instead got taken advantage of. This company should be shut down.
