Phishing - Extended Warranty
I got a time sensitive letter in the mail. No return address no business name on it. Just a phone number and a name for a program coordinator. I called it. He went over his little speech and then I pretty much shut him down instead of well I will investigate the company on BBB to make sure you’re legit because you have no company name on this document and I’m not stupid so I will get back to you if we decide to move forward with business and you have no problem real fast, but he did ask. Tell me the mountain say there’s a refund and you could give it to me and then blah blah.

Counterfeit Product - Minova Enterprises
I ordered a light kit from Minova Enterprises Inc. after seeing their advertisement on Facebook. It arrived and I immediately discovered that the product was a sham. It IN NO WAY resembled, or performed, as the advertised Topacme 360 Night Light Projector, Smart Holographic Start Projector.
Then the real nightmare began. Minova uses an answering service. I called and left messages four times, they only called me back once. I was instructed by "Jara" that it was my financial responsibility to send their product back. Then they would credit by debit card. I sent it to their listed company address. My package was sent back as "no known vendor or address." I called the answering service and was once again told that they wouldvrelay my message to Minova Enterprises. No other action has taken place. I was never given a refund.

This company, Appen USA Talent stole all of my information and is on this website with an account I can not change or delete! They tried to have me apply for an "Appen Card" through Capitol One using my personal information and listing their bank account information. They have a fake interview through Teams and list it as completed when they dont ever join the meeting. They have fake people and sent a fake job offer through Carla Guiterrez for remote customer service @ $31 an hour with schedule being whenever you want to work. They have a fake Academy class where they try to charge for courses with instructors that have made videos that are required to purchase before starting the job. There is no workaround without making that purchase for at least two classes. They set up a fake work email under my name and also people who are supposed to be availanble to speak with that is the managers. It has links to a HR team that is unreachable as well as other team members where nobody ever responds to your messages. They do a fake background check as well and they managed to steal all of my personal information as well as my work history and one of my bank accounts. It is very organized and I would love to see these people be held responsible for this! It is very disturbing and shouldnt be too complicated to trace back with the right tools I would think. These people need to get up off their lazy butts and go get a job! I have several screenshots to submit but many contain my information and can send through a secure link or however needed to submit for these people. Please let me know the next steps from here.

Employment - CereHealth
Found the job via Indeed and submitted an application on their website (cerehealthcorp.com/careers) for a remote data entry clerk position. On August 17th 2026 I received an email to my personal email from an "Edwin Dunning" ([email protected]) asking me to send a resume to their HR department ([email protected]). On August 18, 2026 a "Sarah Zimmerman" reached out to me and said that after reviewing my resume that my "qualifications and experience are impressive... [and to let her] know if this opportunity is something [I] would like to explore further" stating that the compensation would be for $30 / hour. After emailing her saying that I was still interested in the position she sent me a link the following day (August 19th) to complete a web based assessment with this link - https://assessment.cerehealth.careers ; and to fill out an employee form using this following link - https://application.cerehealth.careers
I followed all the steps, set up an account that used my full name and address, and passed the test with an 80%. On August 20th 2026 this "Sarah Zimmerman" emailed me saying that they had reached a decision about my hire "sooner than anticipated and are pleased to move forward with your hire. Given our need to fill this role promptly, we have expedited the onboarding process" and attached a PDF of the offer letter. In the offer letter it describes 3 steps to create an account at https://cerehealth.careers and in step 3 it says: "A software for data transmission is required to access and work with confidential data remotely. To comply with KYC and HIPAA regulations, the software must be purchased using a payment method that matches the employee's legal name. This requirement must be fulfilled prior to the commencement of training. The company will issue an expense check to cover the exact cost of the software license, and these funds must be used strictly for this acquisition. Please contact the HR assistant, Ms. Zimmerman, for further instructions and onboarding references.."
In response to that email, on August 21st "Sarah Zimmerman" requested that I create a Telegram account for the purposes of "instant communication until [I received] my work laptop". I downloaded the app, created an account, and she had me add her account which was through the following link: https://t.me/sarah66910 ; at the same time I curiously googled "CereHealth Employee Reviews Remote Data Entry Clerk" which is when I saw an AI overview highlighting that this could possibly be a scam. I also found other reviews on this site stating the exact same thing I had experienced, but also said that they had received an email from an "Edric Kirkman" with the email ([email protected]) with a pdf document of a check. I had yet to experience this part.
Through Telegram "Sarah" sent a video welcoming me on board the team, she looked like her profile picture which almost convinced me that it was legit. She proceeded to tell me that our conversation was being "audited", which confused me so I googled that as well, and the AI overview warned that it was a common scam tactic to scare victims into thinking they are either being watched by a company and to trick them into thinking that it's legit. At this point I felt like it was for sure a scam, but I wanted them to email me a copy of this so-called check.
So I continued to message her, which led to her eventually telling me that "Recently, we have encountered situations where checks sent via mail to remote employees have been lost, especially for those who are unable to collect them from the office. To address this issue and ensure a secure and convenient payment method, our accounting department recommends sending the check to you via secured email. This method allows you to deposit the check using your bank's mobile app". I allowed them to email me the check to my personal email, which is when I received the email from this so called "Edric", all the while doing deeper research into the company. Their linkedin profile's website link is completely different than the one I applied to, and it doesn't even work. It has an address and a phone number. When I searched the address it came up with the same phone number. I called the number and it too did not exist.
The checks looked completely faked, to me the text on the back of the check looks AI generated.
I stopped correspondence immediately and did not cash the check. This is 100% a scam. I realized upon looking back that they did not ask for my social security code which led me to believe that this was not legit, but also relieved me as well.

Employment - Atl Professional Services (APS) - impostor
This person/people made a LinkedIn post about an open Junior Software Engineer position at a company called Atl Professional Services (APS). The company is most likely fake, due to the lack of answering from any number on the website. I received an email from them following up on my application, then later sending me an interview form. I filled out the detailed interview form and sent it in, a day after I “got the position”; however, the wording of the email was a little fishy. I used ChatGPT to search it up, and found similar wording to another person scammed by one of these emails. Do not fall do this like myself and others.

I ordered Stretchactive pants. The first two I ordered were fine. The 3rd time I received a whole different pair of pants not at all like I ordered. They were very cheap and WAY smaller than the previous pair. I went back and forth with them for a long time. They said I could send $8 and they would send another pair. I didn't trust that it wouldn't be the same junk they sent me. They refused to help me so I called my credit card company and they went back on them telling me to retain correspondence and pictures that I had sent the company. I will not EVER order from them or anyone like them again.

Online Purchase - Fairytent or Sureton
I initially saw an ad on TikTok but wanted to see what other options they had. I went to fairytent.com, ordered two items for a total of $56. The website said that the items shipped from Florida. It was a good deal and not coming from overseas so I was excited. Then I got an email with tracking info from China. It took four weeks to “arrive” at the Post Office. I never received it and the Post Office never received it. I waited a few days before emailing them just to be sure the Post Office hadn’t misplaced it. I’ve been emailing with them since then. I’ll send a message requesting a refund. They’ll respond back with apologies and excuses and an option to resend with a $15 fee. I’ll respond requesting a full refund and they come back with apologies and excuses and a 20% refund, then a 50% refund. The website has gone inactive somewhere between not receiving my order and sending my first email.

Debt Collections - ACE CASH EXPRESS_IMPOSTER
I received a highly deceptive and aggressive phishing email attempting a "Phantom Debt Collection" scam. The message falsely claimed to be a "NOTICE OF LEGAL PROCEEDINGS" on behalf of a creditor named "ACE CASH EXPRESS" under a fraudulent case number: ABD55678-15.The email attempted to extort an immediate payment by fabricating severe legal consequences. It claimed that if I did not respond or pay within an artificial 5-hour deadline, they would contact my current employer to "confiscate all wages" and coordinate with my local county sheriff's department to serve a court summons at my doorstep. The email demanded an immediate "one-time settlement" of $795.00 or bi-weekly payments of $258.67 to resolve an alleged total outstanding amount of $1810.00.This is a complete fraud. The sender used a generic, free Gmail address ([email protected]) rather than a legitimate corporate domain, and the language used violates federal debt collection laws regarding harassment, false threats of arrest, and unauthorized employer contact. No such debt exists. This is a clear attempt to use fear tactics and engineered urgency to steal financial information and funds.

Online Purchase
The advertisement for the vitamins "popped up" on a site (unsure which site) and my elderly father saw the advertisement and purchased the vitamins thinking they would help my elderly mother who is dealing with severe knee and back pain.
Although the bottles of "vitamins" were received, my mother can't take them due to other health conditions (not knowing if they are legitimate) so they have been trying to get a refund. Although someone answers the phone when you call the support number, they can't provide assistance over the phone and refer you to an email address. The email appears to be automated with a link to an automated chat bot that isn't able to assist either. There was no order number provided (no email received or invoice) and without an order number, you cannot return the product. I wonder if anyone actually receives an email or invoice for the product, so it can't be returned.

Debt Collections
Someone from "Cobb County Legal Processor Services" is how they identified themselves, called me advising that someone was assessing the value of my home to put a lien on the property. He had no other information other than a letter was mailed and we did not respond. I told him no letter was received and we have no idea what you are talking about. He gave me a number to call for more info: 888-626-7219. I spoke with a ***** ***** who told me this was due to an outstanding loan that was not paid that belonged to a family member. She gave me the name of a financial institution that I was not familiar with and a loan amount of $4,960 that was owed to her client, but now the amount to pay is $13,255, and this would result in garnished wages, impact driver's license, court cost, etc. But if we wanted to go through a court resolution process, they could settle for $4,059 to avoid going to court and this would end the legal attempt on our property. I wanted more information- documents, dates, etc and she could not provide it but said it was a part of the "discovery" process that had past. It might be in the documentation. She asked for my email address to send the documents to and said it would come from ***** ********** located in Burbank, CA. During the call I asked how do I send the money and she said to sign the document in the email and they will have me pay in another department. I asked for the payment method and she said credit card or debit card, but she highly suggested debit card. She said we could read through the settlement information and make a decision today or someone would be out to my home on Monday to assess the property and if so, we would have to fight the charges in court if we didn't pay today. While waiting for the email. I called my county accessor, and no one knew anything about this. I finally received a Docusign about 15 minutes after speaking with Talia Cohen and DELETED THE EMAIL, BLOCKED ALL OF THE PHONE NUMBERS. I suspected it was a scam based on some things she said, and I asked questions. I am sharing this for anyone who might get a call from them. The company could not be found anywhere on the internet.

Phishing - Unknown phone call about a complaint filed against someone
I received 2 phone calls today, 21 August 2026. 1 call/message was on my cell phone: 1 was on my landline. The number the caller called from on my cell phone is 971-231-0011. The number read out on my landline is 503-272-7631. It's obvious that the same person left messages of the same nature read off a script. Caller says "this message is for" and uses my full name then announces herself as being one "Monica Medina from" then instead of leaving a company name, she suddenly stammers & goes into stating "that a complaint has been filed against me" & gives a file # then states that "the firm handling this complaint is saying I must respond to this message within 24 hours or legal action will be taken against me." (oh really?) The firm name is not stated nor any nature of any complaint. She leaves a callback number of 866-804-2118 for me to call "the firm" back at within 24 hours. I thought yeah right and immediately blocked the caller number from both my phones. I never spoke with the caller as I was driving when the cell call came in & only listened to the message once parked then when I arrived home, she'd left the same message on my landline and I heard the exact same message which is identical to the cell message. Only difference is that the number she called from on the cell phone is 971-231-0011. I looked up the 866 number and apparently, it is listed with Robo Scam listers so this is just another annoying waste of my time. I wished these people would find more reputable employment and stop trying to scare and rip people off.

I received voicemail that I had not fulfilled a payment arrangement. Called the number and spoke to Mrs. Waller although the message stated to reach out to Jason Mitchell. She stated that I owed the hospital money and they were collecting. If I did not resolve the issue with a payment arrangement, I would be served with a garnishment for theft of services. I asked for a date of service and she said due to HIPPA she could not give me that. I setup payment arrangements to avoid being garnished and they took $400 from my account in July. I did some research and spoke to the hospital. The hospital said they do not use URS as a debt collector and that the collection agency should be able to provide a date of service. After doing some additional research, it appears that this company paid fines for violating the Fair Debt Collection laws and have obviously scammed many others. I called them back and requested a refund of the $400 and to stop any further deductions from my bank. The money was refunded and no questions asked. That was a huge red flag. If it was legit, I feel like they would not have refunded so quickly. My husband and co-worker continue to get calls from the same number and person to this day. I do not understand how they are still in business.

I contacted the company to arrange a move for my studio apartment. The contact person identified himself as Jay, and the phone number provided was 732-200-2885. They also used this phone number to contact me: 321-616-4549. The move was scheduled for Saturday, August 1, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. During the communication, Jay provided a moving quote and requested a deposit to reserve the appointment. The deal was that the company was going to arrive at the scheduled time with a truck and one person to move me instead of 2. The reason for one person is that this was not a big move, and I didn't have a lot of stuff. Upon verbal agreement on the phone, I paid the amount of $130 on 07/31/2026. A few hours after I had paid, Jay contacted on the phone and told me that I needed to rent a U-Haul truck because he would only be providing labor. I was shocked because that was not the agreement, and I would have to pay additional money that was not within my budget. I expressed my concern and frustration about him changing the deal. All he said was, I'm giving you one man; that's all! You rent the truck with your money. Take it or leave it" I told him I can't afford to do that and asked that he return my money, and he told me it's too late, and he was not going to retun the money, after a long back and forth and me threatning to report his business, he told me to request a Zelle for half of the money and include the word refund in the Zelle message. He told me that if I didn't do that, he would keep all my money. I realized I had no choice, and I would rather have half or nothing, so I did as he said. I was devastated because not only was I stressed about the move, I had no one to move me, and I had spent the little money I had for this move. The sad part is that the lease was expiring the next day; as a result, I lost all my furniture because the landlord threw it out a week later. I only had a suitcase with me. I had to buy new furniture, and so far I've only bought a mattress. I have to wait for the next paycheck to buy more stuff. This left me feeling violated and alone. A couple of weeks after this happened, I looked into the business and realized this is what they do to unsuspecting victims. I also noticed that he changed the listing to labor only, and yet when I contacted the company, it claimed to have people and a truck. I am certain he did this to cover his tracks; this is also why he forced me to write refund" in the message. If it wasn't a scam, he would have refunded me all my money. We had no contract saying he should return half. He did not do anything for me but scam me.
I am requesting that this matter be reviewed and that appropriate action be taken if the company violated consumer-protection laws or misrepresented its services. I can provide copies of the Craigslist advertisement, text messages, call records, quote, payment receipt, and any other documentation related to this matter. The company operates out of several States in the US; they are listed at the bottom of their website. I already reported them to Craigslist, but I see that they keep posting every day, so Craigslist did not help me at all. I'm hurt because I work a minimum wage job, and this fake company is costing more that what can afford. I'm hurt. The website is:desimovingandlabor.com. For a more detailed complaint, Please call or email me at **********. Thank you in advance.

I received a call from this number asking for my daughter by name and calling it a "personal time-effected matter". When asked what the call was in reference about, they told me it was a personal matter and could not get a hold of her by her phone number and did not want to call her job to avoid embarrassment. They left me a call back number for her to call. The number is: (844)750-0045 ext. 2067

I received a text from (347)719-3030 saying the following, “ Hi Alejandro, this is Alan from Vital Nexa Care, we got your application via indeed for CNA in San Jose, CA. Rate: $32hr.” to which I answered back saying, “Yes hello good morning.” After this the person answered back by asking for my email address, “ Sounds good, I tried to send you an email but I have your Indeed email, could you please share the regular one? So I can send you the job description.” I believe this was an attempt to scam because Indeed will never contact you via random phone calls, text messages, or messaging apps like WhatsApp or Telegram to offer you a job or claim to be an Indeed HR representative. If someone contacts you this way, it is a scam.

Counterfeit Product
They are using photos from real handcrafted items and saying they are from local handcrafters. the items that showed up were plastic, and obviously made in China. Nothing like their website shows. I reached out to them for a refund, and they responded for me to send to an address in HONG KONG - and I pay for shipping, and I would only get 25% back. The address from the email correspondence said it's based in London. It was supposed to be made in the USA by hand quilters!!!
