Online Purchase - Online Purchase Scam

This app is a scam, they have people take photos for money, however you need a premium account to withdraw anything less than $500 otherwise that is the minimum and you need to pay them $27 for a premium account. However, trying to get a refund back on that money for a premium account is the most difficult experience ever. They give you a runaround and said it take 10 business days for the money to go back to your account when in reality it will take even longer.

Identity Theft - Identity Theft - Fido/Rogers Communications *IMPOSTOR*

Fido imposter (or inside fraudster) called to offer service cost reduction and free phone upgrade. They had my complete account info including name, address, account details, credit card number, so they were extremely convincing. They get you to place the order for the new phone on your account, and when activation attempt is made upon delivery, they say that the phone was incorrectly registered, and to expedite correction they send a courier or Uber driver to pick it up, and a new correct phone will be delivered. Fido did/does nothing proactive to warn its customers about this or similar scams, which have been ongoing for about 2 years. Fido insists that I am 100% responsible for the cost of the new phone delivered but stolen.

Fun Puffy 3D Art Inside their 'bubble envelope' held 2 crushed NOT LABELLED boxes. Inside these UNLABLED boxes were markers, an 3" easel and 3 water pens, I think. No instructions. The boxes did not even have their advertised box showing colourful art that can be made. These "kits" were supposed to be presents for my young grandchildren!! What do I do now, put them in a sandwich bag and give them like that? Usually when you get a puzzle or an art craft, it comes with a colourful outer box showing the before and after product and instructions, like as advertised!! As a very unhappy receipient of these "gifts" I replied to their email, explained what was missing, (either accidentally or on purpose) and asked for a full refund. Qaveronixa offered me 10%. Now I know it was intended to be maliciously sent that way. They are refusing a full refund and are offering me a smaill percentage. This is totally not as advertised, and as I said, intended to be maliciously sent. I ordered 2 "kits" for my 2 young grandchildren and I was looking forward to wrapping these art 'boxed' kits to give to them. They don't even acknowledge or accept responsibility when they email me!

Online Purchase - Online Purchase

I Googled a "Free QR Code Creator" online and got this website while making a Walkathon fundraising poster for my daughter's elementary school. Created the code, added to posters, and a few days later got a notice that billing would begin, and to chose my plan. I chose monthly, thinking, my fault, I already paid to print the posters, and I diode;t want to have to pay to print them again. they proceeded to charge me for a year. they had no way to contact them, or cancel on their website at the time. The emails I sent bounced back stating their inbox was full or sent my message to spam. to follow the link to contact them. I finally, after a month heard back that I would not be able to get my year subscription back, but would need to file a cancellation request in writing. I did that immediately. Another person said that they would process my request. It is not one year later and I just received notice that they renewed my subscription and charged me for another year. They have updated their site and there is now a dashboard and a way to cancel, or suspend your membership, and my account says inactive, but they charged me anyway. This company is a complete scam.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Camilla The Label is a clothing company. I ordered a dress online and then realized there are a bunch of reviews from other people saying they automatically sign you up for a “loyalty program” that charges your card $30/month. There is no phone number to reach them. I immediately filled out their online form to cancel and emailed them multiple times. They would not cancel my order and kept saying they will “let me know” when the loyalty program is canceled. It’s been over a month. I’ve reached out more. I was charged the loyalty fee. I finally received the dress and it was terrible quality. No tags, looked nothing like the picture.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product - Mrbuerly

Bought a suit on this website, received the suit and it was not the correct measurements, they were way off from my measurements and the finish of the suit had nothing to do with the photos on their website. I then emailed and complained, they took a very long time to return emails and when they did return the emails they brushed it off as nothing was wrong with the suit and for me to keep it and they'd give me $10 refund. Which was a joke since i paid $220. I insisted on having it returned and after many attempts to try to return it they accepted it and gave me the address which was in China. I had to pay to return it to China from Canada but i did because i knew i would still get some money back from $220. After maybe almost 2 months i got in contact with them because it showed on my tracking receipt that the package had been received by them. Once i emailed them about it they said that the suit was damaged and wouldnt return any money. They scammed me completely. They sent a photo of the suit ripped up when i never even wore it, they probably do this with clients so that they always win and never have to refund anyone. On top of all this they sent a photo of the suit ripped up in a packaging that wasnt even my packaging that i put it in, they just used a random photo of a suit that looked like the one i ordered and ripped. They have stopped responding. They are scammers. Im doing this so no one else gets scammed like i did, not only did i spend $220 but i also paid almost $80 to return it, so i lost $300. Please beware.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product - Harper & Logan

Harper & Logan ad popped up when I was shopping for sandals on line. These sandals were advertised as Orthopedic leather walking sandals on sale for $65. Their website had ‘Vancouver’ and the Canadian flag in the logo. Pics on the website include a boutique store presumably located in Vancouver. I have since read negative reviews online that indicate that this is an online store based in China and incorporated in the Netherlands. There is no brick and mortar store in Canada. I received the sandals today. No mention of Harper & Logan on the box. I received plastic sandals with plastic heels and a sewn on hook replicating a buckle. I sent an email putting in a request for a return and the ‘100 percent ‘ refund their website promises. They say they have to approve the return before it can be mailed back. They also say the customer has to pay for the shipping and the package has to be shipped to an address in China (although the package was mailed to me from 5698 Timberlea Blvd in Mississauga, Ontario). I tried calling their customer service phone number : +17782003465 but it doesn’t accept incoming calls. This company employed multiple, deliberately-misleading pieces of information to obtain my money. Reviews on facebook make it clear that they are doing this to many other people. I will pursue the return of the sandals to the company and try to get my money back. I will also enter a dispute with visa after I receive their response. However I think their misleading practices need to be addressed.

As all reviews mention now on trustpilot, the brand claims to donate to a good cause on top of the jewelry delivered. Many other people never received the order or it was empty etc... It's sad they are using religion/ charity to convince people to buy. On top of that using marketing to convince you their "good business" is closing

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Type of Scam: Online Shopping / Digital Product Fraud Where Scam Originated: Social Media (Facebook Ad) Company Name: Lotto Prophet / Reactive Systems / 3ettle Phone Number Provided: 1-800-971-4492 Website URL: google.com Detailed Description: I am reporting a highly deceptive and predatory advertising scheme operating on Facebook. I encountered an advertisement marketing an application called "Lotto Prophet," which claimed to use artificial intelligence (AI) to predict winning lottery numbers. Based on these fraudulent claims, I agreed to an initial purchase of $97.00. However, the merchant used deceptive billing tricks to hit my credit card with two massive, unauthorized additional charges of $267.00 and $147.00 under the billing name "Settle." I never authorized these extra charges. This entire operation is a misrepresentation. The fine print on the official app distribution pages admits that the product is "strictly for entertainment" and that the lottery is a game of chance. The operators use deceptive social media ads, hidden upsells, and a toll-free number (1-800-971-4492) to siphon money from victims under the guise of an AI lottery breakthrough. I have temporarily locked my credit card to block further theft while I am away. As soon as I return home from vacation, I will permanently close the card and file a formal chargeback dispute with my bank for all three charges ($97, $267, and $147). I am filing this report to warn the public about this multi-tier billing trap.

Their website offers name brand shoes. I ordered a pair of Asics Novablast 5. I received a pair that appear similar to the genuine shoes but are extremely narrow and the soles are very hard, unlike the actual Asics Novablast 5 that I already own. I have contacted the seller several times. The best they offer is a 50% refund or that I pay to ship the shoes for them to inspect and possibly receive a full refund. I believe the seller is fully aware that the product is counterfeit and I don't believe it fair that I should have to pay to ship them in hope of a full refund. I have contacted my credit card issuer to seek a refund.

You make an order on the website and instead of an order going through, he contacts you through whatsapp message and then asks for an e-transfer. Then once you pay, he completely ignores you. There are others who have complained about the same thing from the same website once you go digging online.

Phishing - Phishing - Unclaimed Funds Scam

I received an unsolicited postal letter (dated September 10, 2026; reference FS/TT3454668/L84815526) from 'LERON & PARTNERS LLP, Barrister & Solicitors, Notary Public', 125 Leeward Glenway, Toronto, ON, Canada, phone +1 (548)-797-0090, emails [email protected] and [email protected], website www.leronpartnersllp.com (the site does not load). The letter, signed 'Andrea Harms, Attorney at Law', claims a deceased client named 'Late Eng. Robert Malyala' - a real estate investor and precious stone dealer who died of Covid-19 about 2 years ago - left an unclaimed 'permanent life insurance policy' / 'Payable-on-Death' savings deposit worth $11,550,300.00. It proposes that I 'partner' with the sender to claim the funds by adding my name as beneficiary, with 10% going to charity and 90% split between us. The letter says the process is '100% risk free', takes 'thirty (30) business days', demands strict confidentiality, and asks for a reachable phone number. This is a classic inheritance advance-fee (419) phishing template - the surname was deliberately matched to the recipient's. The firm has no verifiable existence, the lawyer is not licensed in Ontario, and contact runs through a burner Gmail address. This template is documented by the Nova Scotia Barristers' Society fraud alert and 419scam.org archives under other fake firm names. I did not respond, contacted no one, and lost no money.
