Counterfeit Product - Clarendale

I made a purchase of pants, size medium. They arrived too snug in waist, but labeled XL! They also shrank 2 inches in length when I washed before attempting to wear. I contacted customer service and was issued a store credit of $64.99. I ordered a different item, a sweater, but received a very poor quality shirt instead, not at all the same item, and 3 of the buttons wouldn't even go through the buttonholes. I contacted the company and was told to keep the item and they'd refund me 20%. When I refused they offered 30%, then 40%, or I could return the item for a refund. But after reading others' experiences with this company, such as having to pay return postage to CHINA, I decided to write to you instead. I don't know what recourse I have.

Online Purchase - Blue Creek Basset Hounds

I contacted a Facebook business page called “Blue Creek Basset Hounds” on August 15, 2026 regarding a Basset Hound puppy. The seller represented that they were a breeder located in Hobbs, New Mexico and offered AKC-registered European Basset Hound puppies for $800. I was instructed through Facebook Messenger to send a $260 reservation deposit through Zelle. The seller provided payment information identifying the recipient as “Ryan Island.” After I sent the $260, the seller requested a screenshot confirming my payment and sent me a Deposit/Reservation Form and Transfer of Pet Rehoming Agreement. The documents identified Ryan Island as the breeder/seller and provided a Hobbs, New Mexico address and telephone number ***** ********. When I questioned why the seller had a Chicago-area telephone number, the seller told me, “Yes that’s my work number.” I called that number. A woman subsequently returned my call and told me that she lives in Chicago, does not sell dogs, and has been receiving numerous calls regarding this matter. I therefore became concerned that her telephone number may have been used without her permission. I reviewed the Facebook page more closely and observed additional warning signs, including approximately 2,200 followers but no normal customer comments or interactions on the posts I reviewed. I immediately reported the $260 ***** transaction to **** as fraud. **** opened a dispute, but I was advised that the ***** payment could not be recovered. I have reported this matter to the FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3) and reported the Facebook page to Facebook. The Facebook page remained active when I last checked. I am submitting this report because I am concerned other consumers may be asked to send puppy reservation deposits to this operation.

Employment - Load Voyage

I was approached by through email. The position sounded great, $4000 paid within the first 30 days and $1000 a week on Fridays after the 30 days with a company named “Load Voyage LLC.” I emailed back stating the position sounded great and i was interested. I was later on sent an email from [email protected] stating that they would like to move forward with my employment. i completed an application that asked for basic contact information and professional skills. I never entered my SSN or banking info. I received a call from someone named Josh within the next 30 mins. He answered all of my questions and stated he will get back to me on Monday after running a background check. The call ended and i thought to myself “How will he run a background check if I never provided my SSN?” I received another email about an hour later from the same email with my employment contract attached. I saw the CEO “Paul Elano” on the contract and looked his name up. I then saw multiple reports of scam regarding this guy. All the reports I read had different Company Names and Wages. I saw another report that mentioned they were called by a guy named Josh too and that’s why I realized I made the mistake of believing this is a real company. Prior to my searching, I did go to the companies website and it looked legit. This are dedicated scammers who are attempting to scam people in need of employment. With the current job market, this is very dangerous.
