I constantly get bombarded with ads for novel platforms. I know they're AI, and I do my best not to support them, but one story had me hooked. I paid for the 1-week trial and finished the story in less than a day.
However, its now attempting to take massive subscription fees out, and I refuse to allow it. My bank flagged the activity, and my card is restricted.
Support is minimal, but I'm still fighting.

The ad from the FitMe Company came up on a game I was playing from Apple Games. It appeared they were giving away a free copy of the Chair Yoga Chart for Seniors. I figured I might have to pay some shipping, however, after clicking yes to getting the chart my Paypal was charged
A Premium subscription for 27.99 CAD
An additional Senior Fitness and Burn Belly Fat in 30 Days program for 20.99 CAD
I contacted Paypal and they cancelled the subscription immedialtely, but could not cancel the Senior Fitness and Burn Belly Fat in 30 Days program which is not the item I thought I would get.
I contacted the complany as suggested by Paypal and they offered me 50% back and a I could use the site while my sub was subbed.

The scam letter offered me to share proceeds from the "permanent life insurance" of a supposedly dead relative whom I never heard of. The letter further stipulated that proceeds were to be split and that the process was 100% risk free. The problems are as follows: The letter is from a Canadian law firm soliciting business in the US (not legal), the letter came postmarked from a post office in Georgia (US) and the scammer provides a GMail address for "private" contact.

This person was a fursuit maker, I paid over the months to get to 900 for two fursuit heads. Not to long ago they tried to upcharge me 600 after paying in full claiming that materials went up. They never mention that before, they were really slow at reply’s, never showed me progress photos, there instagram got banned so I had to go digging around to find there email. She told me from the start it was 900 for two of the furheads. No changes simple colors and disigns. And when I looked it up, people making fursuits shouldnt upcharge unless you changing something or adding something, When I asked for refunds they refused and said it will be my loss and their loss. They didn’t even get the head down after they told me they would get done in a week. They also had me send money to there friends which should’ve been a red flag to me but I was to trusting

It may have taken 5 weeks to receive this product. They charged my Discover card $46 for 4 LITTLE bags of Crunchy Crab. Each bag weighs 2.10 oz. They sold me 1/2 pound for $45 and the product is not as pictured. That’s robbery!!
Totally, they intentionally robbed me. Secondly, we DO NOT LIKE THE TASTE!!! My husband tried one and had to spit it out.
After trying 3-4 crabs (and they were not good at all - eating mostly shell) I ended up with a serious UTI. I’m wondering if that could be the reason.
Please give me the instructions for returning them for a refund. I was a fool to buy them in the first place and I cannot think of anyone who would like receiving them.

Clothes were advertised on Facebook for sale by The Clarke Family, an AI created fake storefront. They have you agree to Terms of Service stating that you'll return the items overseas if you wish to obtain a refund. I liked the items so much, that I went ahead and ordered. Waited weeks & weeks for the order to arrive. When the clothing arrived (I had ordered two sweaters) it was an incredibly cheaply pixelated printed polyester fabric. When I contacted the seller and demanded a refund, due to misrepresentation and false advertising, they basically told me in a series of formatted emails that I was out of luck and the only way to receive a refund is to ship the items back overseas at my own expense. BUYER BEWARE. The company & site is a complete SCAM.

Dear Sherry Wallace,
Below are the steps you need to follow to complete the payment for your item:
* Visit a participating Kroger store and show the barcodes to the cashier (see attachment).
* Present the barcode assigned to your transaction and inform the cashier that you'd like to add cash. A $4.95 service fee applies per transaction.
* We’ve attached two barcodes for your transaction because a maximum of $800 can be added per barcode. Please load $500 on the first barcode and $300 on the second barcode.
* After loading the funds, confirm your payment by replying to this email with a clear photo of the receipt(s) provided by the cashier. This is required for us to validate your payment and update our records.
If the agent inquires, kindly inform them that you are purchasing the Green Dot barcode for personal use only, not for any commercial purposes. This will ensure that only the standard fees apply

I get multiple emails from this company telling me that my loan application was denied. The issue is I've never applied for any loans anywhere. When I tried to contact them to let them know that I am not the one applying for a loan they told me to report it to the police. The issue with that is I don't know exactly what I'm reporting because they're not providing me. Any information in reference to whatever Loan was applied for. I tell them every time I receive one of these denial letters from them that I am not the one applying for any loans and to remove me from their system yet they will not do that. So they have my personal information apparently, but they won't give me any other information about whatever loans are being applied for. And it's not me applying for them at all.

I would strongly caution others before ordering from Lili’s Rose (lilisrose.com).
My daughter ordered a dress for approximately $70. Lili’s Rose sent her a completely different dress — not the dress she ordered.
We contacted the company immediately. Instead of simply correcting its error, Lili’s Rose instructed us to ship the incorrect merchandise internationally to Hong Kong at our expense, using tracked shipping, and said it would reimburse the shipping cost only after the package was received and inspected.
I specifically asked the company to provide a prepaid return label rather than requiring us to advance the cost of international shipping to correct its mistake. Its published return policy says that when a return is accepted, the company will send a return shipping label. Instead of addressing my request, customer service sent essentially the same generic response my daughter had already received.
The return information we were provided was:
High Street, Sai Ying Pun, Hong Kong
Recipient: “Mr. GO”
The company also offered a partial refund if we simply kept the wrong dress.
We ordered one product, received a different product, and have been unable to obtain a full refund without first assuming the cost and risk of an international return.
I have now escalated the matter through consumer-protection channels and my payment provider.
Based on my experience, I would not order from this website.

In late June I received a telephone call from a spokesperson claiming to be from Rogers offering me a promotion on a new cellphone and service. With their guidance I set up a Rogers account online and ordered a device. I received a call from Rogers the next day to confirm my order. After the device arrived, I attempted to activate it over the phone as per their instruction. Several days had passed between me receiving the device and calling to activate. On the activation call, the representative asked for the numbers/codes on the box and when they looked them up they said the promotion attributed to that device had expired. They explained it wasnt a problem, I could return the device and a new one could be sent out again with the promotion extended. While on the phone they sent out an email with a prepaid canada xpress post shipping label to return the device. It was nearing the end of the month so they warned to get the device in the mail quickly and confirm it had been shipped so I wasnt charged for the beginning of a new billing cycle. A few days later they called back to walk through the ordering of a new device. With the order of the second device Rogers fraud department called me as this flagged as suspicious activity to them. As it turns out the original call and subsquent communication never came from legitmate Rogers and my returning of the device was actually sending it to a frauster. Rogers was aware of the scam at the time of my incident, as upon my further investigation I found news stories dating back to January. The phone call to confirm the order of the device was legimately from Rogers - they simply asked if I had ordered a phone but did not ask any further questions to validate the purchase or probe for fraudulent activity.
Rogers is aware of the scam but is not taking any action to help stop it.
Full financial burden is on me for the device (Samsung Galaxy S26 Ultra) equalling over $2000.

Hello good day, my dear elders, I was defrauded by an investment company.That's why I'm writing to you. The investment company is www.alphaventureslimited.org
I met this investment company through a female intermediary on social media Telegram. This woman convinced me by saying that they earned their weekly and monthly expenses with this investment company. This woman is a British citizen, her name on social media Telegram is Rebecca.
This lady is a British citizen, her phone number is
+44 7444 702234
Then I became a member of this investment company. As of October 15, 2024, I started transferring money to the investment company. The company allowed payments to be transferred in crypto. My first payment was 100 USD, the company gave a bonus of 10 USD, then they gave me 3 USD as a bonus of 100 USD, I withdrew 13 USD.
The investment company support officer was constantly asking me for money, for more profit. The support officer was saying, "Think of this company like a piggy bank, your money is safe with us."
When I wanted to withdraw money, it kept asking me for money, no transfer fee, no mining fee, no tax, what else?
As you can see in the attached picture, I wanted to withdraw my money on 17/11/2024, the company never paid me, by the way, the company gives bonuses, but the company demanded money for processing this.
I have made a total of 135 payments to the company over a year, and I have transferred a total of approximately 17,000 dollars or USD to the company. I have withdrawn funds many times during this period, but unfortunately, the company has not transferred the money. Currently, the amount of money I will receive on the investment company's dashboard is 69,607 USD.
The picture regarding this is attached sir.
During this time, I made payments to the company and even filed 10 reports with Actionfraud. I'm very sorry to say that I couldn't provide documentation for this money transfer in the Actionfraud report section because it was crypto. I couldn't attach a picture or document to the report section. I recommend you pay attention to this, sir. I can provide all transfer receipts made to the investment company.
I am a citizen of the Republic of Turkey. I reported this fraudulent investment company to the local police. Unfortunately, the local police informed me that the correspondence would continue due to the international incident.
I reported this investment company to the FCA. Unfortunately, the FCA's response recommended Actionfraud because it was outside the scope of the company.
I also complained about this investment company to the Financial Ombudsman Service. Unfortunately, the response I received was negative. That's why I'm writing to you.
While tweeting against investment company X on social media, a citizen gave me your address. That's why I'm writing this; communication with the fraudulent company is still ongoing, the investment company is still asking me for payment for the transfer. The social media Telegram group members definitely say that the company is not a fraud and they want me to pay.
My login information for www.alphaventuresltd.com
Username: ********* My email address is: ***********************
Phone numbers of WhatsApp authorized persons of the fraudulent company:
+44 7428 933920
+46 76 412 02 89
+1 (640) 269-0044
+1 (730) 255-5519
You can reach me at this email address, my mobile phone is +90 531780 56 16. I don't speak English, but we can also chat on WhatsApp.
The fraudulent company not only didn't transfer the money, but finally sent me an email demanding 550 USD. They say this is the final payment, but the company sucked my blood like a vampire, I'm financially tied up, I can no longer pay, I'm exhausted, sir. In the name of God, put an end to this suffering, I beg you to collect my money and to prevent others from suffering like me, I request that the necessary investigation be launched into this fraudulent company, sir. I wish you success in your endeavors.

On August 3, 2026, we paid The Coffee Sleeves $3,740.80 by American Express for an order of 60,000 custom coffee cup sleeves.
The original subtotal was represented as $4,676.00. We received a 20% discount of $935.20, resulting in a final payment of $3,740.80.
Our primary contact was a sales representative identifying himself as David Stock.
Prior to payment, communications were generally prompt and responsive.
After payment, we conducted additional research regarding the company. Our research raised serious concerns about the transaction and business, including our inability to locate a Google Business Profile at the company's represented New York address, our inability to identify an established social-media presence, the company's limited independent online footprint, and subsequent communications that we perceived as delays and stalling.
Because of these concerns, we notified The Coffee Sleeves that we were no longer comfortable proceeding.
We expressly requested:
1. Cancellation of our 60,000-unit order;
2. No further production or additional expenses;
3. A full refund of our **$3,740.80** to the original American Express card; and
4. Written confirmation of the cancellation and refund.
The company has not provided the requested refund.
Additionally, David Stock, who generally responded promptly during the sales process, has not satisfactorily responded to our refund demands and subsequent complaints.
We attempted to resolve the matter directly with the merchant before escalating it.
We are therefore requesting BBB's assistance in obtaining the following resolution:
Cancellation of the order and a complete refund of the $3,740.80 paid to The Coffee Sleeves.
We have documentation supporting the transaction, including quotations, payment information, emails, order information, cancellation requests, refund requests, follow-up communications, and relevant website information.
Our complaint concerns our actual transaction and experience. We are asking BBB to assist us in obtaining our money back and documenting the merchant's response to this complaint.

. I even received an email from the company for account security verification. The money was taken from my Venmo card. I never got a tracking number or anything else from them. When I emailed them asking about the order, the email was bounced back. There is no phone number either. After researching the company on Google, it seems that this is a known scamming company.

Disappears to be a phishing site. I tried to go to the sports research website which is a legitimate company that sells supplements. I mistakenly ended up at this website which looks the same and sells the same products except these are likely fake and they're coming from China. I'm not taking supplements from China. PayPal refuses to refund my money saying there's no problem here but clearly there is because this is not a real website. I tried emailing them from the email contacts applied on this fake website and surprise surprise it got booted back to me as undeliverable

They sell laundry soap advertised on Instagram.
I bought it once and hated it , tried to return it, but they said I would have to pay for the return shipping to China. They would give me a partial refund. I took the partial refund. Now I am involved in their revolving subscription which you cannot cancel. When you go on their website, the button doesn’t work. I contacted Chase credit card. They are blocking all future payments. But I got stuck with the first $53 and now I am stuck with another $ 53.
I am notifying you to warn other people not to get involved. The company is.SOVELY .
When you go on the site there is a space to write back but there is no way to cancel a subscription .
Their return policy is also fraudulent. It’s not possible to get your money back.

Same as above mentions about dealdunk.com as the company tried to charge me $29.99 for a subscription I did t agree to. I was trying to get a bracelet from instagram to help animals and this scammer started trying to charge my card over and over!!!!! Don’t get the stupid bracelet and they need to be shut down immediately taking advantage of good natured people! This is absurd! Now I have to cancel said card and go through a bunch of nonsense that’s annoying and time consuming. Jerks should be shut down IMMEDIATELY!

They followed through for a long time of texting and showing screen recordings from Ticketmaster including entering my name and email to the transfer section. When I asked to FaceTime call they instead sent a video that honestly looked so real of a young girl (called Barbara in this case) that said she would send the tickets as soon as payment when though. As this was a US concert and I’m from Canada I had no means to venmo etc but I suggested PayPal because I knew I’d be protected there but they said they would ask their friend in Canada, and they later had their friend send a e transfer request. This should have been red flag number one, they knew too quickly about e transfers but also I assumed maybe because they had their Canadian friend then that’s why.
I sent payment for the face value of the ticket that I believed to be $299usd. That was my second mistake, I should have only sent a small deposit. Then they actually sent a screen recording or then sending the ticket transfer to me and confirmation email screen shots of the ticket being sent to me. I was then to keep checking me email to accept the ticket,
They were very personable and personable and friendly and used emojis and also apologised about sending me the wrong day, they then asked if I had accepted the ticket and as I hadn’t even record it they said they cancelled their end and then resent me the correct day. But then I didn’t get it again. This was nothing new form tickemaster sometimes taking a long time, I’ve heard of this issue.
THEN they sent.crying emojis and a screen shot that ticketmaster had cancelled the ticket back to them scammer. The next message they had suddenly spoken to ticketmaster on the phone (it was too quick, this should have been my next red flag). They said there was a transfer fee of $150 to release them to just one person BUT if I bought all 4 tickets that they were selling then the fee would be waived. They wanted me to pay the fee.
I said I couldn’t, then stupidly I said I could pay less than half. So their friend in Canada sent me another e transfer request (friend was called ASHLE KIEREN STEHR in the email transfer request).
Then! And this was after I asked to FaceTime again because it was getting bad and I had a feeling then I was scammed, they said ANOTHER fee if $300 was due and that when I came to my senses. I said I could not pay and could I please get a refund. They immediately said yes they are asking their friend to do the refund. And of course it never came, and then I demanded a repose as to what the delay was and the kept the act up saying they were checking.
I left it and hours later requested again, and nothing.
