This guy is sending unsolicited, aggressive promotional or phishing-style emails. The only was to get rid of that is to report it to its service provider, and possibly, the FTC.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Big North Auto Detailing

He will try to get you to come in for a cleaning. He will try to upsell packages he has no inrention of actually doing. He really likes to offer a "deal" that he claims is a package that includes regular detailing packages over a set period of time. If you buy a ceramic coating (for instance) he will wax the car so it looks shiny and charge you for a ceramic coating. Or he will take hundreds/thousands of dollars for a "package" and then never let you make an appointment. He then doesnt pay his employees with the money he takes in. If you ask for a refund, he will either give you a fake check, or text you a fake venmo screenshot claiming that to be payment.

Online Purchase - Arthur Hendon

Ordered a product until a realized it was a dropshipping front for a low quality amazon product. I told them to cancel my order hours after ordering. They didn't even bother to respond, and continued to ship my product the next day despite multiple attempts to cancel. Their policy states you may cancel before shipping. I pointed this out, and they still refused to refund me and continued to ship the product even tho it hadn't technically been shipped. They asked for screenshots of their own policy stating this, which is odd, you should know your own policy. The scam site uses fake reviews, and says 4.8 average rating with over 22,000 reviews, hand inspected product, with fake AI-generated imagery of their products with fake AI-generated packaging. It's all a lie. If you go to their shop page where they cannot curate reviews, they have an average rating of 1.9, and almost every review points out the same scam, poor quality clothes, doesn't match the description. Customer support uses a fake name and just sends AI-powered messaging.
