I was looking to buy a Desert Rain Frog for my daughter. Happy Tail Exotics claimed to use The Frog Ranch a captive breeder of this frog because I did not want one taken from the wild. Made contact with them after some research and was helped by a girl named Clarissa. She advised they had adults and juveniles. I purchased a juvenile and paid for it and overnight shipping. I got a tracking number when the frog was picked up to keep dibs on him. The frog reached the airport near my home and got stuck there because of Insurance Payment needed. Started getting worried. Reach out to Clarissa she contacted the carrier and then said that another $100.00 was needed for AWA which is an animal act in NY. I googled it and it did not apply. That’s when I knew I was scammed. Clarissa never responded again. I called JFK and there was not frog there and I have been taken. DO NOT GO TO THIS WEBSITE. NUMEROUS people have had the same thing happen to them. I do not know why this site it still up. I have contacted the FBI for cyber crime and fraud and FTC. This needs to stop.

Received a call at 8:56 am on June 10, 2026 from a Melissa Woods, stating a attempt to locate or something to that. She stated that if I didn't call to rectify this they would have me served at my place of residence and I would have to go to court and do all this other stuff. I did call back and I spoke and was trying to find out what I did and they stated I had a payday loan I took out using outdated information and that it was charged off but also the company was brought and the new company was now going after all the charged off accounts. They couldn't provide me with information about this loan because it doesn't exist. I never took out a payday loan but I did get taken for $50.00. After I hung up and spoke with my mom and looked online I see that they have use this to target vulnerable people like myself and I fell for it and gave them money. They don't have any real attorney emails and the one they use is [email protected]. This isn't a real debt collector or law office, and they aren't real lawyers.

I found a hot tub listed on Facebook marketplace offering a reasonable price, full install of the electrical lines and a 60 day worry free warranty. I went to their store, paid in person, and scheduled the delivery and install. They cancelled and rescheduled their delivery and install multiple times. When they finally delivered the tub they refused to install the electric lines and instructed me to hire an electrician (after I had already paid this company to do it). I paid the electrician who was unable to get the tub working citing a short in the board. The company came out and confirmed the tub would not start and blamed the electrician. They picked up the hot tub, tried to get me to pay for a replacement board (and other parts) totaling around $900 not including labor and future delivery. I declined, requested my money back, they declined, insulted me, and have not been in contact since. Currently they have the hot tub and my money.

Online Purchase - Retail Website Scam

This began about a month ago. They offered glasses that could optimize reading but also assist with distance vision. So I purchased (I believe the amount was $35.) They tracked my purchase and told me it was delivered on 5/27/26. The problem is that what was delivered was two phone packets for a car. I got back to Megamartify to advise them of the wrong product be delivered and they insisted that the glasses were delivered. I provided visual evidence to the contrary. On three occasions the customer service person offered me compensation of $2, $5 and finally $7. I found this to be very strange for a company to behave in this manner. It was clear that all of my requests for them to deliver my glasses or refund my money were falling on deaf ears or I was dealing with some offshore persons who were not in a position to address the issue. As mentioned I provided visual evidence to them (at their request) that the wrong product was delivered. They never addressed the evidence and proceeded to offer minimal compensation for my situation. I was definitely duped.

Phishing - USPTO attorneys-Scam

The real USPTO attorneys work in pairs, as did William Unni Edwin, Federal Examining Attorney, Law Office 106, Bar License No. 236658 (supposedly) and Michael Weir with whom I had phone conversations at 571-207-5701 on April 21st. I've avoided several other USPTO scammers, but Michael Weir quoted the last four digits of my business debit card and had access to the whole number which was on file at USPTO.gov, that's what caught me. At some point in the trademark process all 50 states must be contacted in case any already have your potential trademark name in use. It costs $25 times 50 states or $1250. A couple days after the payment I closed the account and called Michael Weir asking for a check for a full refund. He said it would be sent in 30 days (June 21st) which means I need to receive it by June 20th. We'll see.

Employment - AppenUSATalent

On Thursday, June 4, 2026, I applied for a remote position with AppenUSA after receiving the job posting from my case manager at Interborough Developmental & Consultation Center. Following the submission of my application, I was invited to schedule an interview with a Human Resources recruiter. I selected an interview appointment for Monday, June 8, 2026, at 2:30 p.m. On the day of the interview, I was unable to access the Microsoft Teams meeting link provided. I then referred back to the interview email, which offered alternative methods for completing the interview. I chose to complete the interview through the chat-based option provided. Approximately one to two hours after completing the interview, I received a job offer letter, along with onboarding instructions and documentation requiring completion. On Tuesday, June 9, 2026, I completed the onboarding process and submitted the requested documentation, including a copy of my identification card and Social Security card. The company also obtained my full name, residential address, and telephone number as part of the onboarding requirements. After completing the onboarding process, I became curious about the company and decided to conduct additional research. I am a member of several Facebook groups dedicated to remote and work-from-home opportunities. While searching for information within one of these groups, I came across comments stating that while Appen is a legitimate company, entities operating under the names “AppenUSATALENT” and “AppenUS” were allegedly not affiliated with the legitimate organization and were potentially fraudulent. Concerned by this information, I conducted further research independently through Google and other online sources. During my search, I found multiple discussions and reports suggesting that the company I had interacted with may be part of a scam operation. All supporting documents, screenshots, emails, and other relevant evidence will be attached to substantiate the information provided in this statement.
