Online Purchase - DBC Baby Bedding Co

Absolutely deplorable customer service and you never receive what you order. I ordered a car seat canopy back in early July, order status has not changed. Contacted them for a refund and said their policy was BS when told I would be charged additionally for the cancellation and only receive store credit. I was then told I was a scammer and they don’t do refunds and my “account was being forwarded to their fraud department” I threatened to contact the BBB they blocked me. I am now out the money and the product. They also said they reported me to my bank for me being fraudulent.

Approximately around the beginning of August I was contacted by bull city freight, stating I was invited to an interview via phone. They offered me a delivery role for me to accept that’s guaranteed hours, pay and legitimate business. I accepted the position due to this being the first job to contact me back after job finding. I was provided I-9 and w-4 form to complete and an instructions to send copies of my drivers license and social security number. I received the first delivery of one package approximately August 10th with my name on it and proceeded with the protocols that were provided by bull city freight, I noticed the resources that were provided from the company were constantly changing and wasn’t available when I called when I had difficulties. The second delivery of 4 packages appeared approximately August 13th and had different names on each package that didn’t stay at my residence.

Employment - Employment Solicitation Scam

I was contacted by someone who claimed they found my profile on OnlineJobs.ph and offered me a job opportunity. We communicated through WhatsApp via both chat and voice calls. The job involved promoting or distributing what was described as cigar products to convenience stores. As the conversation progressed, several things made the business seem suspicious, including the lack of clear company information and unprofessional hiring practices. Afterward, other Filipino workers reached out to me and said they had worked for this same person but were never paid for the work they completed. Based on my experience and the reports from other applicants, I believe this may be a fraudulent employment scheme targeting freelancers from OnlineJobs.ph. I am submitting this report so the incident can be investigated and to help prevent others from becoming victims. I don't have the exact address of the person since he did not disclose anything but he says, most of his business is in New York City Below is the picture I spoke about.

Caller calls several times a day. My phone sends unknown callers to vm. Vm left is usually “This is Sydney (most recent name being used) calling from (877) 712-1612. (Not the number they called from). I am following up on a notification regarding the back tax balance that has been flagged for potential reduction”. And it goes on from there. I googled it and it said it was a scam and to not even block them because it shows them the number is still active, etc. So I just let it go to vm and then delete it. It sure if that is the correct thing to do however I do know I don’t owe any tax debt that I’m aware of but it had me worried all the same. Almost called them back but decided against it. But man, they don’t let up!

Debt Collections - Fast Lending Financial

I have been receiving calls from several numbers over the last couple of weeks, they leave a message telling me to call back. I called back finally, because I have no outstanding debts, and wanted to know what this was about, as it was only saying it was regarding a debt. When I called they went on to tell me that they are trying to collect for another (unnamed) company and that it was from somewhere between 2018-2022. I asked the name of the company calling me, as they did not identify when they answered, and they said their name was Fast Lending Financial. They told me if I would like to settle they would only charge $518.34, even though the actual total now was up to $1896.34. These people related my birthdays to me and my social security number, and my address from growing up (well over 25 years ago) and the address i live at now. They also told me that they have not yet sent information to my current address, but this has been my address for over 10 years. They also named another state, which i have never lived in. I told them I refuse to pay a debt that I do not owe, as I have never heard of this. Then they told me that it will be turned over to the credit bureaus in the next 5-7 days, and then they hung up on me.

I purchased a product from Marlow Market, described as a hand carved wooden flag; made in Tennessee by a veteran. What arrived was a broken cheap piece of plastic. I disputed the product and the story behind the product with Marlow Market. I was told that I would be responsible for the cost of return shipping on the item to Hong Kong and the maximum refund is 35%. I disputed that saying their website advertises a 30-day money back guarantee. Janet from Marlow Market is unwilling to budge. I have disputed the charge with my credit card company, and I am reaching out to your organization to report Marlow Markets untruthful business practices. I have uploaded a word document with SNIPS from their website as well as a photo of the broken plastic flag that was sent to me. Thank you for your assistance with exposing this business for being untruthful.
