I ordered through UBER EATS at the 68 5th ST NW location in Atlanta, GA. I placed my order at 11:50pm. After my order was finishing being cooked, the driver came to pick up the order from the location. To my dismay and irritation, the manager closed the store early! MUCH EARLY! The website and Google description says the location is open until 2am! The manager on duty closed the store at 12:30! My driver arrived there at 12:35am and was denied my order! The staff and manager refused to give the food to the driver and locked the doors! Upon reading the store reviews, this has happened to MANY people! Something needs to be done! The manager needs to be replaced and the store hours need to be followed. That is very misleading! Also, paying for food that you never recieve!!! No other alternative was given or offered— just a “too bad” attitude from the staff and management.

I was not careful enough and clicked on the top search site for my passport renewal and did not see the disclaimer that they weren't a government site. All this site does is gather all of your personal information (yikes) that you need for a passport application and put it into a PDF - which can be done for free on the gov't site. It charges about $140 for this "application package" but then you still have to pay the actual passport fees. So you pay $140 to just fill out a free PDF, meanwhile these scammers collect all of your personal data. I canceled my credit card, froze my credit, and put a fraud alert on my accounts. I contacted the site for a refund and did not get a response and when I called the number during business hours I got an automated response.

Online Purchase - Product Not Received/No Refund

Purchased what was advertised as a "Whiskey Advent Calendar" through LUNAVALESSHOP.com, which advertised on YouTube. The ad implied that the product was a collection of small bottles of various whiskeys. I thought it would be a nice gift for my adult son. The product was "on sale" for half off or $38.99. Immediately after placing the order, I received an email stating that the purchase had been processed. This set off a number of alarm bells. I checked the website and noticed that none of its links were active. Only one item was for sale, the "Whiskey Advent Calendar". The address on the website (then a Pennsylvania location, now a Wyoming address) was a small residential home, according to Google Maps street view. Recognizing that I'd probably fallen for a scam, I looked for their cancellation policy. I had 24 hours to cancel (which now has been changed to "no cancellations"), so 90 minutes after placing my order, I sent a reply to the email saying "Cancel Order" and demanding a refund. This began a back and forth that lasted more than a month. I never received a refund. I did receive a package about 2 wks later. It was just a small box. No small bottles of liquor. I immediately handed it right back to the mail man, refusing acceptance. More back and forth. They re-sent the item a couple weeks later, which I also refused. I have filed a dispute with my bank's credit card dept., which is still ongoing. BTW. this company used two addresses in Pennsylania (Abington and Pipersville) and now uses one in Themopolis WY. That same address is used by another online retailer called innovexastore.com, which has telephone numbers in WY and GA.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - Unsubstantiated Supplement Claims

There was an advertisement which included Dr. Ben Carson who I respect. He was telling a story about how his Mother had dementia, and due to the struggles, he involved himself in finding a true deterrent to this terrible disease. Well, he stated that he found a dietary supplement which combats this disease and it is called Memory Lift. Well, I took it hook and line and sinker. I purchased the product, and when arrived the packaging was different than what I saw in the ad. So I did some research and even on the Supplement Facts did not include the key part of this product a flower in another country! Here is what AI stated which concerned me: "Did Ben Carson endorse memory lift No, Ben Carson did not endorse a product called "Memory Lift" or similar memory supplements. Advertisements claiming he has endorsed such products, including a nasal inhaler called AlzClipp, are scams and completely fake. A spokesperson for Carson's nonprofit, the American Cornerstone Institute, confirmed that Dr. Carson "has never created, endorsed or even heard of this product". Scammers frequently use Ben Carson's image and fabricated articles, sometimes with fake USA TODAY branding or AI-generated audio/video, to promote unproven health products. These products are not approved by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) for treating or curing Alzheimer's disease or dementia, and there is currently no known cure for these conditions. You can find more information about common online scams and how to report them through resources like the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) or the Better Business Bureau (BBB) Scam Tracker." So I reached out to "Supplements Fast" and waiting for response to confronting them with this. Is this a scam?? Seems to be.

At checkout it says nothing about a subscription or it costing anything it automatically checks a box that says club but it also says it 0 dollars! They will continue charging your card for a subscription you didnt sign up for and refuse to give a refund. They also do not send anything new when they charge for the subscription so your paying for nothing! There are scam alerts all over trust pilot about them doing this to people! I wish i had checked before ordering these. Then the adds on Facebook say they work immediately and they dont do anything but make you sick to your stomach! Then when you complain they say they take 60 days to start working which is not what they advertise online! They are complete fraud and scam and need to be shut down immediately!

I ordered a Formula 1 Advent Calendar from a Facebook Ad. First they overcharged me by $20, but refunded the difference when I asked. I ordered on Nov. 23 and the tracking said it was stuck in Portugal, then when I reached out, I miraculously got a shipping update. Come to find out, the tracking system they use is also a scam. "Tracking-Hub". The "new" updates would be dated the week prior, and were never correct. It is now Dec. 15th and I still haven't received the product and likely never will. I assume it doesn't even exist. I should have looked online before ordering because this is apparently a well-known scam.

Counterfeit Product - Cowboy Hood

The clothing website boasts beautiful chunky knitted sweaters- but the product you get is a thin cheap material with screen printing that are absolutely terrible and useless. What you view on the site is NOTHING like what they send you. And in order to try to get your money back you have to ship the junk back to China at your own expense, hope it gets there within the return window, and hope they will accept the return (as they reserve the right to reject the returns.) Scam, horrible, and I hope no one else gets scammed like this.

I received a text from someone named Abhayrah Singh claiming to be a senior recruiting associate for pride health which I never applied to.I did some research and look on indeed and zip recruiter since I never heard of this company.i found similar roles and pay for the job I was told about in nearby cities from where I was told.So once that happened I texted the recruiter back saying I was interested and I had a phone call. He explained the job and role saying it's a contract job for a phlebotomy training position and their client is quest along with pay.Also I asked how did they get my information and he said on zip recruiter they have recruiter databases and my resume stood out and without me saying anything specific he read every detail mostly on my resume. ok so soon after he asked me was I willing to commit to the schedule and asking me my availability for an interview.After that he specifically and I quote said what is your date of birth only the day and month not the year. along with saying your last 4 of social not the whole thing.Affer that he said he would submit my resume to the client and that he would be my main contact from here on out and he'll update me as soon as he can now given this was on a Friday so I still haven't heard back but Im still skeptical.I did read online and did a search word for word of how my situation went down and all indicators seem to point to it being a real job offer.Especially since the recruiter specifically states to not supply him with my full date of birth or social.Im only posting here in case this can be verified further.

Phishing

Dear Sir or Madam, I am writing to report what I believe to be deceptive, misleading, and possibly fraudulent airfare sales practices by a company called “$1 Flight.” On 11/21/25 I purchased a ticket through this company and received a purchase confirmation. I was told by the representative that my itinerary and e-ticket would be issued four hours before departure. I questioned them about this timeline because I needed to return by Monday and asked if the ticket issuance could be guaranteed. They stated that it depended on availability and could not be guaranteed. After spending approximately 30 minutes on the phone with them, they issued what appeared to be a boarding pass. However, this was suspicious because boarding passes are normally issued directly by the airline through its official app or email, not by third-party agents. Because I felt uncertain about the legitimacy of this ticket, I contacted the actual airline directly. The airline confirmed that they had received a reservation, but informed me that it had been voided on their system because the payment method used appeared to be invalid or fraudulent on their end. I then attempted to contact “$1 Flight” again for clarification and resolution, spending over an hour trying to reach them, but they did not respond. At that point, given the risk of being stranded, I purchased a new ticket directly with the airline at significantly higher cost in order to ensure I could return on Monday. Because of this situation: • I wasted five hours attempting to resolve the issue. • My money was held for several days. • I did not receive the legitimate ticket I paid for. • The company has refused to refund me (and I am not sure the original payment was ever successfully processed). • I have documentation showing the confirmation, lack of itinerary issuance, and the airline’s statements. I do not know if this complaint is going to the correct department, but I believe this company may be engaging in unfair and deceptive practices that put consumers at risk of being stranded, losing money, and being misled about flight issuance. Please advise on how to proceed and whether this matter falls within your jurisdiction. I am attaching relevant documentation for your review. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Ibeth Lopez 619-318-2009 [email protected]

I am reporting what I believe to be a fraudulent employment opportunity. I was contacted regarding a work-from-home position and instructed to log into Microsoft Teams for an interview. The interview was conducted entirely via text chat, not video or phone. The opportunity initially appeared legitimate; however, I was later informed that I would be sent a check to purchase work equipment. This raised serious concerns, as legitimate employers typically provide equipment directly. Prior to this, I was sent a W-4 form, which I completed and returned, providing personal identifying information. Based on these circumstances and the request to deposit a check for equipment purchases, I believe this was an employment scam. I have discontinued all communication and am reporting the incident to protect myself and others.
