Made reservations for 3 on Southwest and purchased. Got a confirmation number from travel agency. It said give 2 to 4 hours for email from airlines with ticketing. Got a call 4 hours later from James wanting more money saying it wasn't available. The fare went up and need to spend 400.00 more. I told him no and i have the reservations and need to be honored. The next day got a email and said my dates for my tickets changed because the airlines had a schedule change. I looked everything up no changes. I also called the airlines no reservations had ever been made or canceled. So I called back ...guess who I got James again. He ssid he told me if i didn't psy the extra money my reservations would change. I demand a refund he said nonrefundable. I than called him out on being a scammer. I also told him I can hear the person next to him repeating the same thing he said to me asking for money because it's not available. That the airlines is asking for the money. Told James you probably don't even have a ITA number and you don't even sell airline tickets. Just scamming people.

While I was browsing on social media I came across an advertisement stating that "??VisionSync AutoFocus+ Multifocal Glasses | Adaptive Smart Vision" were the best glasses you will ever need if you were near/far sighted. I went ahead and bought a pair to give it a try. In the advertisement it never says that the product is coming from China. It took close to a month to arrive at my house. Once I received them, I jump right into testing them but anyone could clearly see it was a big scam. I proceeded to contact the seller and requested a refund and instructions on how to return them. They offered $3 dollar refund when I paid $37.67 (Including $5.99 for shipping expenses). I let them know that the product I received was a plain pair of reading glasses one can find at the Dollar Store for $2.00. They can back stating they wanted to solve the issue offering $5 refund instead. I let them know it was not acceptable since I had paid $37.67 for a pair of reading glasses that cost no more than $2.00.

On June 18th I was contacted by AKSJ. They DID NOT disclose their business name, but left me to believe that they were representing student loan services. The man on the phone new my name, address, SSN, and my account info through my current student loan servicer. They offered me a way to get into the Repayment Assistance Program early and because of this they would be able to process the paperwork more quickly instead of waiting until July 1st. I paid $100 that day, then $200 later that next week to begin a $300/mo auto pay. When my receipt came today for the month of July, it was a text receipt from SquarePay. I became very suspicious and made phone calls to both ASKJ and my current loan servicer. When I talked ASKJ, both on June 18th and on July 22nd, every person I talked to said that I would NOT owe my loan servicer any money and that I should simply wait until their paperwork was finalized, which could take up to 90-120 days. I spoke with my loan servicer to see if any such paper had been initiated. They had not received any communication from ASKJ. I was informed by the loan servicer that if I were to wait the 90-120 days, then my credit score could suffer.
I called back ASKJ to ask for more clarity on where the money from my payments was going. They would say that "a portion of your payment will be sent to the servicer" but when I told them that my servicer had not received anything, I once again was told to "just wait." I tried explaining to them that I was very uncomfortable and worried, but as I continued to ask questions the people at ASKJ began to reply with hostility and impatience. It took several minutes and and transfer to a different person at ASKJ for someone to finally answer that my payments have been going towards document preparation. I was never informed that I would need to keep repaying loan servicer, and the people at ASKJ could only talk themselves in circles - first claiming that I would not have to pay my current servicer and that a portion of my payments to ASKJ would go towards my loans, then they switched and said my money was going towards loan preparation.
I want to reiterate that they DO NOT DISCLOSE that they are working with ASKJ until you ask just the right question about who is doing the communication.

Counterfeit Product
I am submitting this complaint because I have serious concerns regarding the product and services that were provided to my family and me.
We were informed that this company offered high-quality stem cell therapy and that the treatment had the potential to provide meaningful health and wellness benefits. Based on those representations, my mother, my father, my uncle, and I all elected to undergo treatment.
Unfortunately, after allowing an appropriate amount of time for the treatment to take effect, none of us experienced any measurable improvement or health benefits whatsoever. Given that four different individuals underwent the same treatment with the same disappointing outcome, I have significant concerns about the authenticity, quality, and effectiveness of the product that was administered.
As consumers, we relied on the company’s claims and paid for what we believed was a legitimate stem cell therapy. Based on our experience, I question whether the product we received was, in fact, stem cells as represented. At a minimum, I believe the company should be able to provide documentation verifying the source, processing, quality, and identity of the product that was administered, as well as any supporting evidence for the claims that were made to us.
I am requesting a thorough investigation into this matter. I also request that the company provide complete transparency regarding the product that was used, including any certificates of analysis, laboratory testing, chain-of-custody documentation, and regulatory information supporting its identity and quality.
If the company cannot substantiate that the product provided was consistent with what was represented to us, I believe consumers may have been misled. I hope this complaint will help ensure that other patients receive accurate information and that any deceptive or misleading business practices are addressed appropriately.

Worthless Problem-solving Service
My wife, myself and our son attended one of this company's auctions back on May 31, 2026 at Bardmoor Country Club. At first everything seemed to be ok and we purchased some of their items. One of which was a ladies ring that they had an appraisal for almost $40,000. We purchased the ring for a lot less but we wanted to get our own independent appraisal for it. Once the independent appraisal was done we were quite surprised at the difference in the valuation of the ring. It was more than $10,000 different. We have been in contact with the company regarding this discrepancy and they said they were going to credit us or something. It is now August 23 and we have gotten no where. After several emails back and forth we have concluded that they are not going to do what they promised. We also purchased a Salvador Dali framed artwork that we were supposed to get the COA paperwork for and never received that either. Our son was interested in a sports collage of different players picture and or cards that were framed and matted from various sports. One of the pictures was of Lionel Messi the famous soccer "football" player, but upon closer looking at the picture it wasn't an actual picture but was a high resolution photo copy of a picture. I am writing this post to alert anyone thinking of going to one of these events beware. As they say in legal terms "Caveat emptor" let the buyer beware. We checked into their appraiser which is in CA, and this appraiser appears to also be the jeweler that creates the pieces. In our opinion and that of other well known jewelers in our area it seems that the auction company is having the jewelry created and appraised by the same person and he is inflating the appraisal to "Fix" the market at the auctions to draw more money for the company.

I ordered a nurse practitioner study guide through a company called Bracos March of 2026 after seeing an Instagram ad. After purchasing it with my debit card, the receipt showed the purchase of the book and under that, vizoya rewards which said, "free". It took 3 months to get the book (from China), which was garbage and then recently while checking my bank statement, I saw 2 months of $50 withdrawals by vizoya rewards. I immediately went to the vizoya website, but since i never created an account with them, there was no way to log in and cancel the subscription. I called my bank and reported it to the fraud department and also had to be issued a new debit card. On the vizoya website, I sent a message stating that I had never signed up for a subscription with them and to delete the account they had fraudulently opened. I received an email back from someone named John Maynard Cabrera stating that he deleted my account then had the nerve to offer me a discount on using their services. This is such a scam!

In 2021, I contacted Labtuit in desperate hope for job search assistance and paid for ONE initial consultation call in the amount of $199. I was told I'd receive job search support, interview prep, and resume review, of which I received none. They did not call or contact me again. When I found out that they had cold-called a few random line-level staff associated with the companies I had applied to on LinkedIn (probably to scam more potential clients), I asked them to immediately stop contacting me and all my contacts. A year and a half later, they somehow found the time to demand 3% of my salary at a new job I'd since started on my own, on threat of an additional $5K in legal "fees." This was FIVE years ago, and they are now threatening me for extortion of "fees" again. Their email indicated the business has since moved to Texas, implying intent to use interstate mail fraud, yet they have also shut down their website, removing all evidence of fraudulent contracts or statues of limitations.

I purchased a skin lightning product on 4/20/26 and the cream gave me a rash. Three weeks later I received an email that they had shipped out another cream. I purchased this through the Shop App and I attempted to contact Strawberry via a message on my Shop App that I did not want their product and that I had not signed up for a subscription. I did not hear from them. Then on 6/20/26, I received another notification that they were sending me another cream. This time I went through their website under the contact us and I told them that I had not signed up for a subscription, if they had one for me to cancel it and to reimburse me for the last cream I received and for this one from June. I did not hear back from them. Today, 7/23/26, I see that they are sending me another cream. I again went through their website and asked them what it's going to take to get them to stop sending me their cream. I was able to go back on my Shop App and was able to find another way to cancel this subscription with Strawberry, not sure if this is going to finally take care of the issue. I have now asked them to reimburse me for the (3) creams they have sent me. I have the creams, not opened and can send them back to them. This company's business practices are very fraudulent.

I have been in contact with these people for weeks now trying to get a refund or at least an 80% refund for the garbage and fake product they sent me, but they keep telling me that because the size was right, they can only offer for me a 30% refund.

Very tenacious scammers. They call from fake local numbers then in the message say to call 888-247-7390 or 888-838-0902. The claim is that there is a credit card that has defaulted and ready to go to court within the next 24 hours if the amount is not paid. They said they would reduce the amount owed as a settlement. I thought to look at my credit report (freeze them!) and could find no credit card in default. They're very good at what they do, and have accents that sound like they are native American English speakers.

The scammer contacted our business website to purchase golf carts for their business. They acted as a local customer, set up an account, received our banking information for ACH depositing and even sent a purchase order which seemed very legitimate. When the customer came to pick up the property the drivers ship to address did not match the bill of lading, we were given. The driver had a delivery address of Bronx, NY while our bill of lading was for a Louisiana address. We immediately cancelled the transportation and closed the customer account. We called the national number for American Electric Power and verified that this purchase order number was a scam and that they see this happen often.
