Online Purchase - Evericharm, ShopAid Corp, LLC

I ordered 3 ThermaCore Built-in Comfort Bra Tanktops. It took them a month to arrive. In tracking I realized they had been shipped directly from China with no communication until I reached out when I didn't receive them. Upon receipt they were the wrong size. I requested to return for full refund and they required pictures of the products and shipping label and dimensions. Upon sending them the information they decided that they sent the correct products and I was not eligible for a refund but they offered me 10% refund and keep the products. I don't want the products and 10% isn't worth it. The website clearly states that returns are simple and easy. I'm here to tell you they are not. I requested they reconsider and am still waiting for further communication. Don't order from these people. They are scammers.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered from this company, right after ordering I did a search and found out it was a not so reliable company. I sent a email cancelling the order. They sent back we understand etc etc. So I figured it was settled, just to make sure I called the CC Company and changed my number. They assured me the charge would not go through. Somehow the charge went through and approx 1 month later I received a package, I refused shipment and contacted the company which advertised as US and the package was from China. They informed me even though I cancelled they did not understand that and since the package was shipped I could not refuse shipment and to return would have to pay return shipping or have it subtracted from the amount when they received the package back which they would not because i did not return it to the correct place. I cancelled the order and did not open the package I refused it. I am doing a rebuttal through the CC Company and now I will have the third card as I have also cancelled the second one which they somehow got. I have since seen multiple instances where this company has been ripping off people.

About the same thing happened to me as was reported by another. I ordered clothing off of a website https://zansail.com/ at the beginning of August 2026. The package never came. By the end of August, I contacted their customer service department via email. They responded and asked me to wait a bit longer. Two weeks went by without a word and I contacted them again. They said they would investigate it and needed three days to do so. I waited a week without word and contacted them again. They said they cannot fulfill my order when I asked them to refund my order, they sent this message: "Unfortunately, the logistics company has rejected our claim application, and we are unable to obtain corresponding compensation from the logistics company to compensate you. However, you are our important customer and we have applied a solution for you: if you still want the item, according to the reshipment requirements, the customer will need to pay a shipping fee of $15. Don't worry, the reshipment shipping fee will be deducted by $15 from the order you originally paid for. You don't need to make any additional payment, and once you confirm the need for reshipment, this shipping fee will not be refunded. Based on your previous purchase, the item is no longer in stock. We have contacted the supplier and the earliest delivery time is 25 days later. We sincerely look forward to your reply and will arrange it for you as soon as we obtain your consent."

Phishing

I got mail about a warranty that I had, they needed more information to start the warranty. I called the number and the guy asked for a customer ID number that was on the letter. After that it was the miles on the car and the vin. That’s all the information I gave to him before he acted as if he confirmed my info and started to demand money ($250~) to activate the warranty. I was confused as nowhere in the mail did it state I needed to pay just call to confirm info. So (no joke) all I asked was if I needed to give my card number over the phone and he got pissed and stopped acting professional. I should also add that his smoke detector was going off the entire call and that made me question the legitimacy of the call from the start LMAO. (Also he know my real name which is weird because I use fake names a lot to know how or why a random number got my contact.)

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. I

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.

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.

Online Purchase - Moonlightstudio impostor / Moonlightstudious

I ordered a Chicago White Sox "Pope hat" since they were a hot commodity after they were given away at a White Sox game. They were being sold for over $200 online as I looked for one to buy. I found one on Moonlightstudious.com (I THOUGHT it was Moonlightstudios.com (without the extra *u* in the name) and ordered one with my debit card. I got a confirmation email from them (very friendly) but as time went by (a week or so) I got nothing else (no tracking info, etc) and asked the seller about it. The seller (nguyen thi ca) proceeded to send me excuse after excuse about shipping problems. After 2 weeks, I asked for a refund. I was told by him that he'd be happy to refund my money, but I'd have to go through my bank first, which only added another 2 months of waiting for me. I finally got a refund from BOA which I understand came directly out of his bank account. Victory over evil.

In October 2023 an alert appeared on screen to call Microsoft and I called the number. They said they were a vendor for Microsoft and I spoke to Robert Harris said it would $125.00 a month for 3 years to for security protection by check. The check was made out to Terry Jefferies. The computer they supposedly provided the security protection failed because clearly now it was not legitimate. That computer fried. Now in October 2026 Robert Harris and a lady named Christine calls, says he will bill my checking account for $6800.00 unless I cancel service. If I cancel it will be $2300 and to send a check to a PO box in Washington state. They would not provide me with the service agreement or anything related. Gave me a [email protected] as their company email. The company is registered under Alvin Lerome Jenkins in California.
