Ad on Facebook saying you can assembly items and earn money none out of your pocket.

Had a Roku streaming stick that was not functioning properly with my samsung tablet to mirror to TV.
I searched for Roku support on Chrome, and a site for Roku support came up, that appeared real, but in retrospect I can't remember exactly what it looked like or if it was suspicious.
It had chat available, so had a chat session, giving them my problem. I was transfering from Rogers to Telus, having trouble connecting a samsung tablet using smartview through the Roku to my TV. They asked me for the Roku streaming stick model number, and my modem type. I gave that then they said I should talk to an assistant in person. I had given them no personal info. Then on the chat box, it up popped up a $5.00 that was refundible charge, a request for my credit card info. Below that was a note that I would be signing a $90.00 per month contract with them.
So, clearly to me a scam.
I got out of that chat, closed it.
I went back to chrome and looked at my history and found the link with the website, see attatched file uploaded, which I copied and printed for you.
I then erased my history on google chrome for the last 24 hours, and closed the window.
Separtely I I went onto the website https://www.askanexpertonline.com looks very official, but interestingly has a BBB logo (but it looked out of focus a bit). The bot on their website was named Laura Chapbot just like I saw in the chat.
So, I think that this is a scam, I don't believe that I had given them any personal information, but I thought that I should report it. I talked to local BBB and they said to report on website in the scam link
I am a careful person, but these people are very sophisticated.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product
I came across the video on my Google page about this product, VitaRest, and the amazing results that could be achieved. You are forced to watch the whole video before you can order the product. The video included two apparently famous doctors, along with one of the physician's wife, Jennifer Aniston, Cindy Crawford, and Nicole Kidman, - imposterss testimonies about how they look younger now than they did in their thirties, and some pretty transformative photos. Also, photos of women with beautiful, youthful skin from Okinawa where the magical pink flower, the key ingredient, is grown. In addition, the doctor from Japan who figured out how to put all the key ingredients into the gummies. Other minerals such as copper were mentioned. Like a fool, I was reeled in. Immediately, I started receiving emails trying to sell me more of the product. And the next day the phone calls began almost non-stop. Not only trying to sell me more VitaReset, but other products as well. I was also advised to take two each day instead of the one recommended on the video. Thankfully, I declined all other offers. I received my six bottles about a week later and couldn't wait to start taking the gummies. I opened the package and the only thing included besides the bottles was a packing slip. No usage instructions or lifestyle tips as promised in the emails I was receiving. In addition, I was shocked and appalled to read the supplement facts which list the only ingredients - apple cider vinegar and sugar! Where was this elusive flower from Okinawa? Where are all the other important nutrients and minerals mentioned in the video such as copper? This is a total a scam and deep fake. I for sure know I can buy apple cider vinegar any place and for a fraction of the price I paid.

I am getting robo-calls approximately 2 times a day from supposed business lending organizations, who want to lend my business money. I don't own a business. They are calling my personal cell phone. I keep blocking them and they keep calling from new numbers. They are using fake names.
Here is an example of the messages they leave "This is Carla Rivers from Business Lending. Hi, this is Carla. I just finished reviewing the information on your business, and there's a funding opportunity worth discussing. Your company may qualify for up to $360,000. Give me a call at 888-269-2193. We're at the point where I can put real numbers behind this. I just need to clear the remaining business details. So I can show you the funding range, repayment structure, and terms your company may qualify for. You'll see the numbers before making any commitment, and if everything checks out, we can move directly into the final funding process. Call me at 888-269-2193"
Then, if you connect with a person, there is this first person (with an accent and fake name) who asks questions and then connects you to the supposed Funding Advisor.
The funding advisor gave me the Business Name and Address following:
Better Rise Capital

I was purchasing a flight to go home. As I was online I was directed to this website which I thought was American Airlines and come to find out it was Sky Alliance company. I received my departure e-ticket the night before the flight. It took several calls to their customer service department 1-888-701-8638 to make them send me my ticket. They kept saying it was not them who process the ticket, it was their customer service who would process the ticket. I finally got my ticket to fly home but the day I was suppose to fly out they cancelled my ticket hours before my flight. I did not know they cancelled it until I got to the airport. American Airlines did not show me in their system. I called Sky Alliance and they kept giving me the run around. I finally got a call from supposedly a supervisor who said I had to purchase another ticket. She assured me I would get the amount of one way ticket I was already paid total of I think $685 for my initial round trip ticket. . so I paid for two ticket to fly back home. She told me I would get my refund within a few days for the first returned flight amount I paid which was half of the $685 amount I paid. I never received the refund amount and when I called back they kept putting me on hold and pretending to wait for supervisor. She finally switched back to me and hang up on me when I called back they never picked up the phone. Total scam and the people at their customer service was *** ** ******* because of the accent of their language.

Website allowed placing an order but lacked payment method. Received text message following early morning directing me to a link to "Cash App" saying shipment ready, just waiting for payment verification. They requested a snap-shot of completed transaction, so I provided a photo of my online bank account showing transaction pending. They said they hadn't received the payment & suggested I deposit cash into my new Cash App account to use to make the payment, which I did. I sent them a photo of my online bank account showing another transaction was pending. They said they hadn't received the 2nd payment & suggested I purchase a gift card, to which I told them I wasn't willing to risk any more than the $80 (they even stated I would be refunded $40 100%). Friday morning 6:37 they texted to see if I got my refund, I replied saying no. They never replied after I texted them letting them know if they don't provide an ETA for my shipment, that I would contact Chase to report a fraud; which I ended up doing. Unfortunately, because Cash App is a 3rd party, they will contact them to try and retrieve my $80 but there is no guarantee. I will also be contacting Yelp to warn others, as I am here.

I received an unsolicited job interview invitation for a remote Chat Support Agent position claiming to represent Healthium Medtech Limited. The email offered an unusually high pay rate of $35.75–$55.75 per hour and instructed me to contact an interview manager named Clay Davis through a Microsoft Teams invite link rather than scheduling through an official company recruiting channel. I am concerned this may be a job scam involving the unauthorized use of a legitimate company's name to mislead job seekers.

Home Improvement - Vinny Capp
Vinny Capp is advertising as a handyman in the Vernon CT area (real name is Vinny Cappuccino) as he had me make the check out to and he deposited it into his account same day. Be aware of this supposed ‘handyman’ as his tactics are to bait and switch you by telling you what you want to hear that you don’t need what you called him for and instead switches to doing something else that’s less expensive. Initially I did think he knew what he was talking about but next day realized his work is inferior and he had also told me he guarantees his work when we first spoke on phone but he now refuses to respond to me after payment. And found out after payment (too late, my mistake, I’m a senior and got taken) thru the CT Consumer protection that he is not licensed, registered or insured. He also has an instagram page stating he is insured but is not. I requested my money back from him due to him not showing back up for our return visit that we scheduled to address issues as next day saw flaws with his work but he now refuses to respond to me at all. Also left a complaint on Vinny Capp or real name Vinny Cappuccino with the CT Consumer Protection Agency.
You’ve been warned, beware and make sure any contractor you contact is registered, licensed and insured if not do not hire or have them over to your residence.

On 10-08-2025, I called whom I THOUGHT was Expedia. Somehow Richflights "took over" the call. I did not call Richflights, I called Expedia. I spoke to Michelle -this is the # she provided, 301-835-0507. Was attempting to book 2 plane tickets to Las Vegas, she came back with $750 a ticket, we discussed that amount was too high, had never paid that previously. She then said let me charge the card $3900, to get a better discount rate & then I can process a refund for $3900. She attempted to process the $3900 on my AAdvantage Red Mastercard, that was declined, so I gave her my Synchrony Mastercard which she processed $3600 + ($300) She then sent an email regarding refund, and then somehow did process 2 flights thru Southwest Airlines thru Expedia on my AAdvantage Mastercard at $344.96 each.
Richflights Reference #82710428T566FDAZE, listed as Richflights 301-835-01 Oro Valley Az on my Synchrony statement for 10-2025.
Per their email dated 10-08-2025, a refund was to be issued, it never was.
I have filed multiple complaints, fraud to Synchrony, they have all been denied.
I will also be making a complaint with the Federal Trade Commison.
I had to pay that Synchrony charge of $3600, is what they actually charged. I thought I was dealing with Expedia, but found out after not getting refund and speaking to Expedia, that this was a scam, I had been frauded.

I paid $550 by Zelle. The business had many positive reviews and was listed on The Knot and recommended in Michigan wedding Facebook groups.
For the next nine months everything seemed legitimate. The owner answered texts and calls, discussed the drink menu and guest count, and helped build a shopping list for the alcohol as recently as two days before the event.
At about 8:15 a.m. on the morning of the wedding, she texted that she and her sister had been in a car accident the night before, were in the hospital, and would not be released in time, and that she was looking for another bartender to cover. She promised several times to call “in about 20 minutes” to work out logistics. The call never came, she stopped responding to my coordinator’s texts by late morning, and no replacement was ever sent.
Eight days later I sent a written refund request citing the contract’s own clause, which says the client gets a full refund if the bartender cannot perform and no replacement is available. She asked which payment app I had used, I sent the confirmation, and then nothing. Four days after that, I received a form “cease and desist” letter from the business’s phone number, signed only “Authorized Representative of Sip of Eden,” demanding that I delete posts about my experience from a Michigan brides’ group and threatening a defamation lawsuit.
In late September 2026, WDIV, FOX 2 Detroit, and CBS Detroit all reported that nearly 100 couples in Michigan, Ohio, and other states describe the same pattern: a same-day cancellation by text with varying excuses (car accident, emergency surgery, death in the family), no replacement, no refund, and being blocked or threatened after asking for their money back. The business’s phone number has since been disconnected, and an Ohio company announced it had “purchased” Sip of Eden around September 21, 2026. Affected customers estimate combined losses above $65,000.
Warning signs in hindsight: payment accepted only through peer-to-peer apps with no chargeback protection, a contract with a blank “[State]” governing-law clause, and a vendor who stays responsive right up until the day of the event. If you booked this business, check the Michigan wedding Facebook groups for the customer group that has formed, keep screenshots of every message, and file complaints with the Michigan Attorney General and your own state’s Attorney General.

We received an offer from what we thought was Prudential even using their letterhead to sell our stock. We filled out the forms had them notarized and accepted their offer. After sending it in and receiving a letter from Prudential saying our stock was sold we received no money and after calling Prudential discovered we had allowed a third party to take our stock.

Counterfeit Product - TESSIPTELTD
BEWARE!! This fake company advertised 2 fall harvest arrangements for that would easily insert into a medium size porch planters and expand out into FULL floral arrangement. NOT AT ALL
The first problem is that they arrived 1 month (4 weeks) after I placed the order. The 2nd issue is that the artificial fall harvest arrangement looks like a HANDHELD fake arrangement from Michael's or Walmart.
BEWARE!!! This person/company is advertising false products!!
I have requested a refund a few times, but they will not return my money.

I ordered from ouku.com. They emailed me that my package shipped. The tracking link never worked. They messaged me through the website, not my email, that the address was wrong. By the time I found it, it was too late to rectify because the package was "abandoned". They will not refund my money or reissue the order until I pay shipping again.

I get these calls multiple times a day for a pre-approved business loan. I don’t know why I get them. I have answered the phone a couple times. I try to get them to stop. They hang up or say not to answer phone next time but to not let it roll voicemail for the calls to stop. Makes zero sense. I believe this is harassment.
