I paid for a service I thought I received but my outdoor cameras did not pick up the service being preformed twice. I used a company for 5 years for mosquito and tick treament and the last 2 treatments I was invoiced for and my security cameras did not pick up the person doing any treatment. I paid for these treatments. When questioned he dropped me as a customer as though I had done something wrong. I requested the 2 months refund for the services in question and he told me he refunded one month and to stop harassing him. I have not been refunded and he advetises he is BBB accepted on his website and he is not. I have all the text messages and emails between us to support this claim. I posted the following as a review on google: Hired and used Wayne for 5 years for Mosquito and Tick control. Noticed this summer that I was being invoiced for services but my camera did not pick anyone up. When questioned he told me he would send someone back, and again my camera did not pick anyone up at the house. This has NOT been an issue until this summer. When questioned again he send me a text that said " Hi, just and FYI we will no longer be treating your property for mosquitos and ticks." When I questioned him telling him this was unfair treatment that I had done nothing wrong he followed up with " We are having huge issues with cameras and unfortunately we can't continue in this manner. There are several customers in the same scenario." I requested 2 months refund and he told me that July had been refunded........I still wait. I sent a follow up letter, and he told me he would not read it and to stop harassing him. So check your cameras to make sure you really are getting the treatments!!

I received a text about a job. I inquired. They stated they were with Disney (Warner Brothers) sent me business license screen shots of Telegram photos etc. The job required you to like the videos they posted. Once you did this you earned money. They would deposit the first one and you would then buy Bitcoin with monies earned. Then they would have merchant withdraw monies and you would preview more videos they would post. Then you would earn more money at this point they would NOT deposit until "YOU MAKE A DEPOSIT". I believe the first one was like $36.00. Ok then it got up to $580.00 they wanted me to deposit before they would deposit the monies I "earned" by watching and liking videos. I told them I DID NOT HAVE the monies then they credited me and said I would only have to come up with $180.00. I told them I didn't have that. Their website was http://ecnbovod.com. The Emily Johnson continues to text me about every other day trying to get me back to communicating.

I am filing a complaint against 1to10x for misleading and predatory practices. They operate mostly from India, running call centers that push U.S. consumers into paying a $99 “registration fee” without disclosing that it is non-refundable. Their sales process uses high-pressure tactics, misleading “scholarship” claims, and undisclosed terms. Once paid, participants are funneled into generic online workshops designed to upsell more programs rather than deliver real value. Online reviews are manipulated to hide genuine complaints, and refund requests are routinely denied. I have call recordings, chat transcripts, and emails proving these practices and urge your office to investigate. This is a scam operation targeting U.S. consumers, and I request immediate action to protect others.

I applied for an online Ergonomics Specialist position with Appen USA. I immediately got an automated interview by email from [email protected]. On the day of the interview, just a couple hours beforehand, I was trying to research the company in preparation for the interview only to find their website was down with a 404 error message. I researched further as this seemed suspicious to me and learned that Appen USA, also known as Appen USA Talent, as reported by multiple other individuals, is a scam artist. I did not go through the interview after seeing compelling evidence on LinkedIn, Facebook, and Reddit as well as here on BBB that this is a scam. This scam artist now has my personal identifiable information through my resume and cover letter as well as my work history, and I am concerned that this information will be misused while my identity may be stolen.

Online Purchase

This after market car insurance. I saw and add called the number and was told about the protection coverage. I was given a price of $106.00 per month for my 2015 Toyota Avalon. I paid into this program for almost 3 years before an issue came up with my electrical system. The repair cost was approximately $1,700.00. I was told to give my information to the dealer and that Car Shield would pay them directly. This did not happen. I was contacted and told that Car Shield refused payment. I called Car Shield and was told that they were out of business; and they would not be able to help me. A day later I was contacted by I believe was Ensure auto. They told me they were taking over for Car Shield and that they would pay $700.00 if I agreed to sign on with them and that they could help me get my money back from Car Shield. That cost went up to $165.00 per month. I did this for 2 months - nothing happened. At this point I realized I had been taken. I canceled with Ensure Auto. I then posted this story on face book to protect others. Now I am seeing advertising on TV for Car Shield and I am furious that they are allowed to continue to operate as a business in Ohio. This prompted me to contact you.

Online Purchase - Facebook Scam

I ordered a jersey for my wife from a company called Endearvoried. I ordered a size medium which is what she has worn for years. Upon arrival, there was no size indicated on the item - only on the plastic bag and QR code. It does not fit! I contacted them for an address to return it, they replied”You got what you ordered, sorry it doesn’t fit”. I have gone back to them several times, suggested exchanging it for a larger- they said a credit of $8.00 is best they can offer for an item that doesn’t fit. Others on their website have since posted a recommendation to order larger than your normal size. People need to be warned about their poor business practices!

Online Purchase - English Cream Golden Retriever Haven

We reserved and out a deposit on a golden retriever puppy and were in contact with the breeder on Facebook, we put down a $300 deposit through Apple Pay. The day we were supposed to pick up the puppy the breeder cancelled saying her mother had a heart attack and then tried to charge us another $500 for a direct delivery. Their “credit card system” was down and they requested payment through Apple Pay, PayPal or cash app. She used someone else identity and sent voice over videos of the puppies claiming they were still available. I have also reported the Facebook business pages. I have been blocked from all their accounts.
