Online Purchase - Online Hair Stylist Booking Scam

The business used its established social media presence and professional-looking booking platform to create an impression of legitimacy, encouraging customers to book services and submit deposits in advance. I completed a booking through her website and paid the required deposit to secure my appointment. After receiving my payment, the service provider canceled my appointment. When I contacted her to request a refund of my deposit, she failed to return my money. The concern is that the business collected payment for a service it ultimately canceled and then retained the customer's deposit despite being asked to refund it. Her Instagram presence, established following of approximately 3,000 combined followers, and online booking system helped create an appearance of credibility that encouraged me to trust the business and make a payment. I believe this conduct may constitute deceptive business practices and potentially fraudulent collection of customer deposits. I am reporting this matter because I paid for a service I never received and have been unable to recover the money paid to secure the appointment.

I was web surfing and saw this "quiz" that supposedly identified your personality type, and it looked fun, so I took it. After finishing the quiz , it asked for $1.95 to see results, so I put it on my debit card. About a month later, there is a charge on my debit card from Personality.co for 39.95. I had not agreed to any subscription, and didn't get any service for the subscription. My bank contacted me to see if it was a fraudulent charge. The card was blocked and a new one issued. Google and Reddit both list this as a scam, no phone calls or emails work. Card must be cancelled to stop it.

We were trying to book an airline ticket directly from the airline (Panama Air) and this business seems like the airline and is the first thing that comes up on Google.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The materials are falsely advertised for children with autism and also as approved by ABA and speech therapists. Unfortunately, they do not meet minimum requirements to work with children with autism. False advertising. For the money I paid (about 100 US dollars) for a book with ten pages, some cards with pictures and two very flimsy toys, the quality is terribly poor. In addition, the website does not specify that the location of the company is in China. The website claims a 60-day refund. When I asked to return goods and get the refund I was told to mail back the materials in China: Tellova Returns, Warehouse 12, Zone B, Hengcong Logistics Park 159 Yuanfeng Road, Yushan Town, Kunshan, Jiangsu 215300,China. The address in the package I received is Warehouse 600 Blair Road, Carteret NJ 07008. They offered to return 20% of the money if I decide not to ship the package to China. This is very clearly a scam and I would like to warn others that may consider the purchase. There are no reviews online or a place where to leave a review. They do not sell through Amazon. Only through their website. Tellova Kids advertises through Facebook.

Family/Friend Emergency

Someone is using the phone number 213-329-9445 to send iMessages and text messages to people who know me while pretending to be me. They use my name and write as if the messages are coming from me. This is not my number and I have no connection to it. As far as I know, no one has sent money yet. Impersonation scams like this usually start with friendly or casual messages to build trust, then turn to an urgent request: money, gift cards, crypto, a wire transfer, a "quick favor," or personal or account information. The scammer often claims they have a new number or that their usual phone isn't working. If you get a message from 213-329-9445 from someone claiming to be a person you know: - Do not reply, send money, click links, or share any information. - Check with the person directly, using a phone number or email you already had for them. - Report the message: in iMessage, tap "Report Junk"; for regular text messages, forward them to 7726 (SPAM). This number has also been reported to the FTC.

Online Purchase

I am reporting an advertising and marketing agency for what I believe to be misleading business practices and potential financial misrepresentation. I hired this agency to manage paid advertising campaigns for my clothing brand and paid $1,000 through Zelle for their services. Before accepting my payment, the ads manager assured me that their services would generate sales and revenue for my business. After approximately two weeks of working together and running advertisements, my business generated zero sales from their efforts. Despite the promises made before payment, there were no financial results to show for the services provided. There was no signed contract or written agreement between us. I have documentation of our conversations, the representations made before payment, my $1,000 Zelle transaction, and the advertising performance. After seeing no sales, I requested that all advertisements be stopped and informed the agency that I wanted to discontinue our business relationship. I also requested a full refund of my $1,000. Despite attempting to resolve this situation directly and professionally, I have not received my money back. As a small business owner, I find this situation extremely concerning. I believe I was misled about the financial results I could expect from these services, and I am concerned that other business owners may have similar experiences. I am requesting a full refund of my $1,000 and accountability for the representations made to me before payment. I am also seeking legal guidance regarding my options for recovering these funds.

Summary After a two-month delay, the company ignored my multiple cancellation requests, drop-shipped the items via third-party Amazon accounts, and is now demanding return shipping fees for unrequested and incorrect items. Chronological Timeline of Events August – October 2026 (Approx. 2+ months prior): I placed order #SOLD-SL-12498 for hanging floating candle lights and attempted to cancel it multiple times over a two-month period due to lack of delivery. Friday, October 30, 2026 6:44 AM: Solar Outdoor Light Deals sent a shipment confirmation stating the order was on its way. 8:39 AM: I replied immediately, rejecting the shipment, citing the 2-month delay, and demanding an immediate full refund. 8:39 AM: Zendesk automated support opened support ticket #2309576. 9:01 AM: Support agent Minnie Jones requested standard return details and photos to process a refund. 9:06 AM: I responded, calling out the late shipment as a bad-faith delay tactic and demanded a full refund. Saturday, October 31 – Sunday, November 1, 2026 2:36 PM (Nov 1): I sent a final follow-up detailing that two separate packages arrived over two months late.

Employment - Student Success Foundation

I was targeted by an employment scam involving individuals impersonating a legitimate nonprofit organization. The initial job opportunity was sent to my university email address, which made the opportunity appear credible. The position was advertised as a remote, part-time Student Support Assistant role. During the application process, I communicated with an individual claiming to represent the organization. The communications appeared professional, and the scammers used the organization's identity to make the opportunity seem legitimate. As part of the supposed hiring process, I was asked to provide personal documentation. Unfortunately, I submitted a photograph of the front of my driver's license. However, I did not provide my Social Security number, banking information, or financial account details. After becoming suspicious, I investigated the organization and discovered that the website, studentsuccesfoundation.org, was impersonating a legitimate nonprofit organization. The website's domain closely resembled the name of the real organization, making the scam more difficult to recognize. Once I identified the scam, I immediately stopped communicating with the individuals involved. I also froze my credit with all three major credit bureaus, placed fraud alerts on my credit reports, and reported the incident to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the FBI's Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3). This experience highlights how scammers can exploit university email systems, legitimate-looking job postings, professional communications, and convincing websites to target job seekers. I encourage others to independently verify employment opportunities through an organization's official website, confirm recruiters' identities, and avoid submitting sensitive identification documents before verifying that the employer and hiring process are legitimate.

Debt Collections - Debt Collections Scam

Received a call claiming I had failed to report for a jury summons yesterday. Caller claimed they were "Mark Hall" with badge number #5820 calling from Montgomery County Civil Investigations Unit and I had failed to report for jury duty the previous day. He stated that I had received a jury summons on July 1st for a specific high profile trial and that the judge had issued an order when I failed to show up. Insisted there had been jury tampering already in the case. The first person said that the judge had issued an order because "he" was concerned. Told me I would need to come in person today to sign documents due to the order. Then transferred me to his "supervisor" for additional instructions. Supervisor first said he was located in Miami-Dade County and then told me that he was in Montgomery County but the case had been transferred from Miami-Dade. I pressed for an address and he said he was in the Public Safety Building at 2 East Airy Ave. in Norristown. He also insisted there was a "maintain contact" order so I could not hang up the call. I asked for the case number and was told he could not give it to me. I then asked for the judge's name and he told me it was "Judge Wendy Beetlestone". At this point I decided the call was a scam and hung up. Wendy Beetlestone is the Chief Judge of the Eastern District and would only ever be referred to as Chief Judge. She also would not have been referred to as "he." The address given was for the Montgomery County Courthouse, which is a PA state court, not a federal building. Additionally, there is no federal courthouse anywhere in Montgomery County and the proper law enforcement agency for the U.S. District Courts is the U.S. Marshall service, not the local county police. I am a former federal law clerk and I know there is no such thing as a "maintain contact" order that would prevent me from hanging up the phone. I asked for a call back phone number several times and was not given one. The call came from "private number" so I do not have a number to report. I may have fallen for this scam further if they had not tried to tell me it was a federal court case. They had my personal home address.

My mother is a senior citizen whose sole source of income is Social Security. She experienced a $143.88 charge from Guardio that she did not knowingly authorize or understand she was agreeing to. This charge caused her bank account to have insufficient funds, resulting in three separate $33 NSF fees from Metro Credit Union, totaling $99. The combined financial impact is $242.88. My mother is now unable to cover her electric bill because of this transaction and the resulting bank fees. I attempted to contact Guardio by telephone at (771) 249-8378 but was unable to reach a live representative who could assist with the billing dispute. I have submitted a formal refund request through Guardio's website and am seeking assistance in obtaining a full refund. I am reporting this incident because I believe the billing circumstances warrant investigation, particularly given the financial harm caused to a senior citizen living on a fixed income.

She offered to check initial eligibility, review the estimated payment, and see whether a hardship program or fixed payment option made sense, and said there was no obligation to proceed just because I reviewed the numbers. She asked me to call her back at 888-695-2135 and said the offer window closes tomorrow, Saturday at 3 PM. I believe this is a likely advance-fee / phishing loan scam: I did not apply for such a loan and had no prior relationship with this company. No money was paid and, as far as I know, no personal or financial information was shared. Verbatim voicemail transcript: "Good day. Isabella Ramirez calling from Rencrest Capitol. This is my final follow up regarding your current hardship loan options. Now that the midterm elections are behind us, it may be a good time to revisit those credit card balances and see whether consolidation makes sense. Your file is still showing a pre-selection for up to $41,453 with estimated payments around $478 a month. We can check your initial eligibility, review the estimated payment, and see whether a hardship program or fixed payment option makes sense for you. There's no obligation to proceed just because you review the numbers. Call me at 888-695-2135. Your current offer window closes tomorrow, Saturday at 3 PM. Again, 888-695-2135." Note: the business name has also been seen spelled "Rencrest Capital" in other reports.

Phishing

On 11/6/2026 I received an unsolicited letter by mail with no company name, return address, or website. It is marked "FINAL NOTICE: IMMEDIATE RESPONSE NEEDED," "Official Business / Penalty for Private Use $300," and "FORM 9550-WARR." The envelope shows a Sacramento, CA origin. The letter is dated 10/09/2026 with a "Policy Offer Expire Date" of 11/06/2026. It says my vehicle's warranty may have expired or be about to, that I will be "financially liable" for repairs, and that I must call 1-888-302-0021 ("Vehicle Service Dept"; Spanish line 1-888-404-2032; hours Mon-Fri 7am-5pm PST, Sat 9am-1pm PST) and have my current mileage and VIN ready. Reference code on the letter: Owner's ID / Vehicle Code SMA1512568. The letter does not identify my vehicle (no year, make, model, or VIN; it says "PLEASE CALL TO VERIFY"), so it appears to be a bulk mailing keyed to my name and address. It carries a USPS presort line ("ALL FOR SCF 207") and a postal barcode. It is a deceptive solicitation designed to look like an official or manufacturer notice in order to collect my VIN and mileage and sell a vehicle service contract. The same form number appears in many other BBB Scam Tracker reports with other phone numbers (833-777-1002, 833-777-1003, 888-678-5131). I did not call. I lost no money and provided no personal information.

Debt Collections - Debt Collections Scam

I have been being harassed by these people for over a year now. Once you actually answer the call and they don't get what they want from you, you continue to get calls from them using various different phone numbers. The number I have stated is one of the 4 most recent numbers they use to harass me. I allow the calls to go to voicemail and then block each one once I know it is not a legitimate caller. The first calls were about a supposed merchant account from 1992 that I had never heard of and after denying this for months the calls changed and now they say I took out a payday loan with a more recent date. They leave a message stating "this is a very urgent and time sensitive call from Advance Financial Servicing regarding your account that is being serviced by our team. Please contact the number shown on your caller ID now to be connected to the representative who is handling your account. Again, this call is URGENT from Advance Financial Servicing. Please call now to be connected. Thank you." I called and a person with a heavy foreign accent (sounds middle eastern) answered and said something to the effect of how may HE help ME and when I replied that I received a message to call them back, that's when he said, "to be sure I am speaking with the right person" then proceeded to TELL me what the last four numbers of my social security number are. Since they have the correct info I said "yes that is me". At this point he told me that I took out a pay day loan and never paid it back. When I denied this his demeanor immediately changed and he raised his voice at me and said "YES YOU DID! IN 2021! WE WILL NOW SUE YOU IN COURT!" And then he hung up on me. Now this reaction of his is after over a year of trying to scam me into paying a debt I never owed starting with a merchant account from 1992 to this payday loan of more recent. I can not get them to stop calling me. Every day of the week, numerous times a day, as late as 11:00 PM some days. They are also now using phone numbers starting with my local area code.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

This kaboole is tempting to sell home and lawn equipment. No way this is a legit company. Claims to be partnered with a Sarah Webb Interiors of Bakersfield, CA. No website comes up. Receipt gave no information other than money was taken. I have disputed this with my bank. The "reply" I received from "Kaboole" seems to be an AI bot or someone with terrible grammar. All red flags to be investigated deeper.

Counterfeit Product - Advent calendar

I saw advertisements on Facebook for their MerrySquish Original Dumpling Advent Calendar. They warned of fakes and that you should only buy from their website to get the authentic one that they advertised! I initially tried Walmart since it was cheaper but that turned out to be fake and I returned it! So I decided to pay more money and order from Merry Squish! Low and behold it was the same fake! What I got was just cheap pieces of smelly plastic! According to the return policy you just had to contact [email protected] for a full refund. I contacted them several times with no response! Now the emails don’t go through and the email address is no longer available.
