Online Purchase - Vinni Shopping

I attempted to purchase an item from "Vinni Shopping". I made and account and put in my contact info and billing address and credit card info. It said it declined. I tried retyping it, it said declined again. I tried a different card and same thing. At this point I stopped. I checked the "order history" on the site and it showed 7 orders "pending" for the same price. There was only an option to "reorder" or "return" no cancel option. I tried calling the phone number and it the number didn't work. I looked up their address (204-02 Jamaica Ave) and it's a Storage Unit place in New York. The pending charges didn't show up on my bank, but now I'm worried they have all my info.

Hi Liars and Thieves, You charged me $75.26 for one $36 item I was still choosing online. I didn't complete the transaction because of increasingly obvious deception. I don't even want your shamefully sold $36 Bible verses now. As a seller of Bible goods you should be ashamed of your lies, theft and marketing deception. Please give me a full refund immediately as I want none of your products and are sold misleadingly without consent.  Your email said that the goods were shipped but I attached your companies email from 10 mins beforehand saying that goods were about to be shipped; your company had enough time to cancel the shipment. Don't tell me that you "just missed the shipment" today because I emailed your company early yesterday afternoon. I also called Citi Mastercard early afternoon yesterday to Dispute the transaction  You bring shame and scandal on a company named "godisabove". Your company stands for thieves and liars being in control now. I see on Amazon that I can get the same product from Amazon UK for $10 and you have billed me $75 for this and other products I didn't want.  So you are price gougers too. I have reported your actions to the Better Business Bureau. Please refund me my $75.26 in full Thank you, Richard*****

The scammer calls every morning around 9:00 a.m. Central time and again during the lunch hour around the same time daily, phone line calling shows MISSISSIPPI in all capital letters. Once they contact you the first sentence phrase is "Can you hear me?" If you do not reply they will say are "You there?".. But am I speaking with? If you don't reply they will say your name (whoever) they are calling. Then the next thing is well I'm calling from Medicare and Medicaid to make sure your enrollment with Supplement parts A & B is covered for 2027 properly. Then they will tell you to answer yes or no to the information they have on you, to correct them if they are wrong. So I began to get worried when they had so much of my identity info.. So I stated and told them they had the wrong number that this was the Sheriff Dept. and that they were a scam caller, The gentleman said this is not no Sheriff Dept. ma'am "So just Stop It". I then replied and told him if I am a scam Dept. that makes you a scam caller pretending to be a Business as well..I did let them know that I would be reporting this too the BBB.. So please Stop calling this number.. He stated report it, this is a legit Business and it will not be with the BBB. I then hung up and did phone number lookup on internet and it showed. 1(662( 271-2859) is a landline phone prefix by Centurytel Acq Llc Dba Century Link Acquisition. It did say this number has not been affliated or report yet, but is possibly a scam contact. This is to inform other about their medical information, and do not answer any questions, when it appear to be scam callers.

Online Purchase

I had to write this review in "SCAMS" due to not being able to find a business through BBB website. 1 Star — No Flexibility, No Customer Service, No Refund I had an extremely disappointing experience booking through Vio.com. On October 23, 2026, I booked a room at Wish More Hotel Istanbul for November 5–8, paying $229.32. Within just 10 minutes of booking, I realized I had selected the wrong dates. I immediately contacted the hotel and requested a simple date modification. I wasn't asking for a refund or trying to cancel my trip. I simply wanted to correct an honest mistake made minutes earlier. Unfortunately, the hotel refused to accommodate the request, and Vio.com's customer service failed to provide a reasonable solution. After contacting their representative, Shawn Sato, my reservation was canceled without a refund. The most frustrating part was the complete lack of flexibility or meaningful assistance. Instead of helping a customer correct a mistake almost immediately after booking, I lost the entire $229.32. I understand that some reservations have strict cancellation policies. However, I believe customer service should involve more than simply repeating policies, particularly when a customer contacts the company within minutes of booking. My advice: Be extremely careful when booking through Vio.com. Double-check every detail, read the cancellation conditions, and don't expect assistance if you need to change anything. Based on my experience, I would not recommend this booking platform.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Bakarika Corp (aka DME (Durable Medical equipment) filed claim to United Health Medicare Advantage for 4 medical supplies never ordered by physician starting on 12/5/2025, 1/12/2026, 2/17/26 and 2/23/26. Three were for Intermittent Urinary Catheter coude tips and one for Alginate/oth fiber gel dressing used for wounds. United Health paid for the first claim of $2,345 for 2025 and the other three fell in the next year of 2026 and denied stating they need to use previous years healthcare insurance. My share of costs for these medical supplies was $8,020. I was searching through the United Health app and noticed this claim was approved (only 1 of 4 claims under the same claim number was paid and showed my share was $8,020 that made me do research on it. My doctor office does not have an outstanding balance from my office procedure and even called their billing company. They too showed nothing was outstanding. Then I attempted to contact Bakarika Corp, no answer and left VM but on one returned my call. Contacted doctor office again asking if this company would send me a bill separately for the intermittent catheter and was told no. At that point my thought was confirmed this was probably scam charges and contacted my insurance company to file fraudulent insurance claims on this company. At no time did I provide anyone insurance info over the phone or email from this company. I did not receive an EOB from Bakarika, just the EOB that was sent to my insurance company. If you see something that doesn't look right, research, make calls, and report it right away.
