Online Purchase - Shecurve

I placed an order with SheCurve and never received my items. For over a month, I have contacted the company repeatedly with no resolution and only inconsistent, misleading, and unprofessional responses. The company claimed the package was delivered, but could not provide valid proof. Instead, they asked me to “prove my address” by sending photos of my home—an unreasonable and inappropriate request. Throughout this process, SheCurve provided false updates, including claims of ongoing “investigations,” promised refunds, and supposed reshipments that never occurred. Each message contradicted the last, and no legitimate action was ever taken to fix the issue. After researching the company further, I discovered that many other customers have reported the same pattern of undelivered orders, false claims, and refusal to issue refunds. It has become clear that this company operates in a deceptive manner and has a history of scamming customers. I am requesting a full refund immediately, as I have fulfilled every request from the company and have still not received my order or any truthful resolution.

Employment - Employment Solicitation - Phishing Scam

I applied to an HR Assistant position for First HR Connect via LinkedIn. The recruiter (Veronica Pavlenko) emailed me a questionnaire, I even received a call from a John Conturso ("HR"), a TX phone number (972-638-0103). After hanging up with John, I did a bit of research. My initial hunch was that there was a misspell on the company's website. The recruiter and John Conturso were nowhere to be found on the company's website, and there was no business contact information for them (on emails). Furthermore, emails/communications came from [email protected] (and not .com). This might be used to hide a true identity. Be very careful as scammers are becoming more sophisticated.

Online Purchase

I was attempting to order an item as a Christmas gift. I want a green elphaba owala water bottle, a product of the Wicked movies. I typed in the bottle that I was looking for and this website came up. https://wickedforgoods.com. I went through the ordering process, there was a note that the shipping date would be given when the order was complete. This did not happen. So I responded to the email that I received confirming the purchase, asking for delivery date. I also stated that If it would not be delivered before Christmas, I did not want the item. That email address, [email protected], was not found. So I went to Paypal and found another emaiI address, [email protected], that I have sent correspondence to without a response. I also received another email from Paypal that the vendor, GUIORL ACA had updated the total amount of my transaction to $46.00, which I did not approve. I am adding screenshots of the transactions and the emails I have sent.

CryptoCurrency

Business Names Involved: Hellobit (also referred to as TSQ) KOGOLD EA Group Individuals claiming to represent the companies: Henry Jones and Quentin Reed Summary of the Issue: I am reporting what appears to be an organized online investment scam involving Hellobit (TSQ), KOGOLD, and individuals claiming to work for EA Group. The operation uses deceptive trading claims, pressure tactics, false emergencies, and sudden account freezes to force additional deposits and prevent withdrawals. I believe these entities are actively scamming consumers and may continue to target more people. Detailed Description of Events 1. Initial Contact and Trading Claims I was contacted by individuals representing Hellobit/TSQ who stated that I had a “trade account” with them. They claimed they would arrange meetings with someone named Henry Jones, who would provide three trading signals to help generate profits. I was also told I needed to recruit additional people into the business before they would provide more trading signals—an indicator of a pyramid-style scheme. 2. Claims of a Cyberattack and Forced 10% Deposit Approximately one month ago, the representative “Henry Jones” claimed that Hellobit had experienced a cyberattack. They informed me that I needed to deposit 10% of the funds in my Hellobit account to “prove ownership” and to “recover” my funds. This demand was made under pressure and with threats that I would lose access to my money if I did not comply. 3. Sudden Deadline and Transfer to a New Platform (KOGOLD) After forcing the 10% payment, they suddenly changed the terms and said I had 7 days to take action or my funds would be impacted. Shortly after, they claimed the Hellobit platform was no longer usable and that all accounts would be frozen until 2027. They pushed me to join a new platform called KOGOLD, requiring an additional $1,000 deposit to continue trading. 4. New Representative and Lack of Certification On KOGOLD, I was assigned to a new handler named Quentin Reed, who said he was working with EA Group. I asked him for certification or regulatory documentation, especially for the United States. He told me they were not certified in the USA and implied that I was “causing trouble” for asking. This is highly suspicious and indicates they are operating without proper authorization. 5. Pattern Consistent With Financial Scams The pattern includes: False promises of “trading signals” Recruiting others as a condition for access Sudden fake emergencies (e.g., cyberattack) Pressure to deposit more money Account freezes to prevent withdrawals Moving users to a new platform to repeat the scam Refusal to provide licensing or regulatory information Intimidation when questioned Because of these behaviors, I strongly believe Hellobit, TSQ, KOGOLD, and EA Group are conducting a coordinated investment scam designed to steal funds and continue targeting new people. Impact on Me I have been unable to withdraw my funds. I was pressured and manipulated into making additional deposits. My account was supposedly “frozen until 2027,” making my money inaccessible. This has caused significant financial stress and emotional distress. Desired Resolution I request that the BBB investigate these entities for fraudulent and deceptive practices. I request assistance in warning other consumers about these companies. I seek guidance on how to recover my funds, if possible, and prevent these individuals from continuing to scam others.

Retail Business - FM Locksmith

On 12/8/25 at 7:06 pm, I contacted FM Locksmith at (206) 584-2861 through their website fmlocksmith.net to obtain a quote for unlocking my front door and making a replacement key for my existing locks (one key previously opened both the deadbolt and doorknob). I spoke with a woman named Arooj, who said she would have a technician call me to provide the quote. She confirmed my phone number. At 7:16 pm, I received a call from the technician, “Aviv,” (253) 988-2122, who quoted me $80–$120, stating the worst-case scenario would be $170 if the lock was “specialty” or if there was a problem. I agreed, and he arrived approximately 25 minutes later. When he arrived, I again confirmed he could unlock the door and make a replacement key for both existing locks, and he replied, “yes of course, no problem.” He began by manipulating the deadbolt, then inserted small inflatable “pump pillows” in the door jamb and pushed the door open without unlocking the doorknob, saying this would “save me money.” He removed the deadbolt, said he needed to cut the key in his vehicle, and spent about ten minutes outside. He returned holding the deadbolt and two keys, reinstalled the deadbolt, and tested the new key. However, when I attempted to unlock the doorknob, the key did not work. I told him I had specifically requested a replacement key for both locks. He replied that I “should know how it works,” claiming he “had to rekey the deadbolt.” He then instructed me not to lock the doorknob, to “just use the deadbolt,” and suggested placing tape inside to prevent the knob from being turned into the locked position. I told him this was not what I asked for and insisted he correct it. He immediately said he would “have to charge again.” At that point, I asked for the total owed and requested the company’s Venmo. He stated he could only accept cash, CashApp, or credit card, but using a credit card “would cost more.” He then told me the charge was $473. When I questioned this and reminded him of his phone quote—confirmed again when he arrived—he avoided answering and repeated that he “only takes CashApp.” Feeling pressured after the work had already been done and unable to secure my home otherwise, I reluctantly set up CashApp and paid the $473. Immediately after he left, I called FM Locksmith again and reached Arooj. I explained what happened, including the severe price discrepancy. She agreed I should not have been charged that amount, stated the technician “should not have charged that much,” apologized repeatedly, and said she would file a complaint with their “complaint department,” which would contact me within 24–48 hours. I then called my bank to dispute the charge, but was told they could not assist because CashApp transactions are treated as cash, and therefore not protected under their fraud policies.

I placed an order with this company on what appeared to be the Consuela company for some discounted/discontinued items in September (2025). I never received any of them. I was given a tracking number through Track718.US that apparently was false. I've emailed their customer service several times. Initially they offered a partial refund, which I declined. They said they would refund the entire amount and should appear on my bank statement in 7-10 business days. That never came either. Every time I email them, I keep getting the same response.

My mail carrier that delivers to my house told me they were hiring and that they do not charge any money to apply. I have never seen this anywhere ever in my life this is absolutely wrong. If someone is looking for a job they probably do not have any money in the first place. So seems like a big scam to me.

He signed a :contract" that said he couldn't dispute any amounts charged to the card. He is 18, but still in high school.

Worthless Problem-solving Service - Business Posting Department

Spam / Fraudulent Mail Report Description I received a deceptive physical mail claiming to be from the “Business Posting Department” at 41 Crossroads Plaza STE 162, West Hartford, CT 06117. The letter attempts to collect a “document processing fee” of $92.58 by falsely stating that my business is required by federal law to purchase their “state & federal labor law poster.” The mail uses intimidating language—referencing 29 USC Sec. 666(i) and 29 USC Sec. 2005, warning of fines “nearly $40,000,” and threatening legal risk for non-compliance—in an effort to scare new business owners into paying. It instructs recipients to detach a payment slip and return it with the fee. The letter misrepresents itself as an official government requirement and appears designed to trick newly established businesses into paying for an unnecessary product under the guise of legal obligation. This strongly suggests a misleading, potentially fraudulent solicitation.

(stupid of me, I learned from this) Julie is VERY PUSHY and gives you zero time to review the contract She does NOT explain all the fees due if you quit. Real agencies never take money unless you are successful. I start attending classes and everything is great until I have to reschedule a class, that's when they overcharged my credit card and then I messaged Julie to try to resolve the situation and she was HORRIBLE. She was annoyed that I even bothered her with that. So after that I quit my classes. I then received a letter from NEA (National Education Acceptance) saying I needed to pay $840.00 in ten days. I called and left a message with this supposed credit agency and low and behold I NEVER received a call back. The ONLY contact I have had, was with the JC helpdesk. I told them I'm going to need a physical address for the company to send a money order because I will NEVER give them my credit card information again. They replied I can ONLY make a payment online. HUGE RED FLAG! I replied, per your own contract you take checks because there is a $35.oo returned check fee. I finally got a physical address but it doesn't match the address given on the letter either from John Casablancas or the credit agency saying that this is "headquarters'! Oddly enough the address for John Casablancas is the exact same as the credit agency that sent me this letter. THIS IS A SCAM COMPANY!!

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I paid for my order on November 2nd, the order was falsely marked as "shipped" on November 11th. Today is December 9th and I still have not received my order. I tried contacting Walletaces via their email more than 3 times with no response. I also tried contacting their Instagram more than twice with also no response despite them being active on the platform. Complete fraud and scam.

Telemarketers constantly call our landline phone number each day. They start calling from 7am until 9pm every single day. Medicare calls, security camera calls, taxes unpaid calls, warranty on vehicles, you name it, they are calling. Stealing other peoples phone numbers to get you to answer. Seen many peoples names, or areas from California, to Florida. East to West and North to South. Sick of these **** calls every day. This needs to STOP. The most calls I've ever had was just the other day. 40 calls. Phone constantly ringing. We have taken our phone off the hook to stop the calls. Our phone number is on the DO NOT CALL LIST.
