I was on JC Penny website looking at sales items and I thought that was where I was ordering my items from, but it was actually being ordered from Peak Ark. I got confirmation of payment and the ordered items, and I waited for a few weeks with no communication from them. I sent an email stating that I hadn't received anything and they sent me tracking information. I got an email stating that the package was delivered, checked my porch and mail box - nothing received. I contacted them to let them know that nothing was delivered, they stated that they could resend my items and I agreed, waited, got another email that package was delivered-nothing received. I know that porch pirates exist, but this was not the case. We are retired and someone's usually at home, and this is the first time that we have not received a delivery for something we have ordered online and for it to happen twice to the same company doesn't add up. They stated that they will refund part of my money, but I don't believe them and I wanted to report this to the Better Business Bureau. It's not a lot of money but it's the principle.

I was contacted by a gentlemen going by the name on Nate Greene on Tik Tok asking if I could record guitar over a backing track. He said his budget was $400 and I told him I would be willing to do it for half of that price ($200). He obliged and after I sent him the recording, he said he would send me a check. This was two days ago. He reached out to me again today, 06/30/2005, and said that his assistant wrote out a check for $4,000 instead of $400 (defaulting to the original budget price). He said that it will take 90 days to send another check, and that he should send me the $4,000 and send it back to his account manager without providing any other contact information. I responded just now and replied that he should find another bank and assistant who can write out checks properly, and that I will happily take a written out check for $200. After that, I looked up his name and business and found this website. Should I have taken the $4,000 check and cashed it out anyways?

Employment - Iron Canyon Freight

I was approached in 05/20/25 about a job opportunity to make $4400 to $5400 monthly plus $45 bonus per package to receive, inspect and send out merchandise being ordered by customers. I did this for a month with promise to receive my first paycheck by 6/28/25 due to company policy. I filled out a W-4, sent in my bank info, did the onboarding onboarding and even reviewed training videos all via email. I was in communication with the manager and supervisors regularly throughout the month while I worked. On 06/18/25 I received a phone call from their back-office manager Anna with a promotion offer. I was told I would begin receiving $6,000 monthly to go to stores and purchase merchandise for the company, but I had to turn down the offer as I do not have a bank account with only my name on it. On 06/27/25 I was locked out of my account and told my login info was incorrect. I have attempted to contact the manager as well as both supervisors and even the hiring manager, but I have received no response.

Counterfeit Product - Product Qualiity

I placed an order for 72 placemats through their website, but when I received the items, they were a visibly different low quality knockoff of the item pictured on the website, made of a completely different material than stated in the item description. The website states they are linen, they are clearly a synthetic. They also have a visible serged border not present in the website image and the design is screen printed, not woven. I reached out to customer service and an employee told me (in writing, no less) that I was eligible for a return and full refund and would be provided with a return shipping label. Another employee then refused to honor that and said I would need to pay return shipping at a cost of more than half the total item price for the (fraudulent) items, and the return shipping would be to an address in China despite their website stating a California address. I was bounced between 4 different customer service agents who all kept telling me different things as far as what the policy was, how much of a refund I was eligible for, etc. Several other customer reviews say the same thing, that items ordered were misrepresented in quality or material, and the company refuses to take any responsibility for that, and continues misrepresenting themselves as a USA based business instead of a Chinese drop shipper.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - PTCL - (855) 540-9664

A postcard came in the mail with "Viking Cruise Ship Logo and the "Amazon.com" logo and "CONGRATULATIONS" [Name]. The postcard is from a bulk mail permit in Los Angeles, California, Permit #2112. It doesn't mention the "company name" of PTCL until the small print. The postcard says, "You Are A Finalist In Our VIKING RIVER CRUISE Giveaway! Plus First-Class Airfare For 2!" It has a QR code on it, but I did not scan it. I'm sure if you scratch off the "play circles" on every single postcard, the numbers match. The postcard instructs you to call the "gifting department" immediately at toll-free 1-855-540-9664. "Offer Code: Z0630 to receive one of the following gift!" (which has extra spaces and incorrect plural usage, should be "gifts." The prizes are "#1. 2025 Viking River Cruise for Two with First-Class Airfare, or $15,000 Cash #2 Seven-Night Caribbean Cruise & Airfare For Two #3 Sony TV, 75" Bravia 3, #4 Seven Night Alaskan Cruise & Airfare For Two." and it mentions: "Call Hours: Mon, Thru Fri. 10:00am-7:00 CST | St. 9:00am-1:00pm CST" Which is also odd since the bulk mail indicia is California but California is not in the Central Time Zone. The statement is also missing the "pm" after 7:00. I'm sure it's some scam. If I were Viking Cruise Lines or Amazon, I'd be really angry that they're using my logo and the $50 gift card image to lure people into this scam.

I bought a dress and paid for it with my credit card. I was very excited about it and eagerly anticipated it's arrival! It wasn't coming and I communicated with the company by email about it's status over several months. They kept telling me it was "in transit." Finally after almost 4 months, I said I just want my money back if they can't give me the dress. I got an email from someone named "Daniel" who said they could give me store credit plus 10% off. I said I didn't want store credit if they can't even send me the one item I ordered and demanded a full refund! I never heard from anyone again! I'm so upset that they preyed on people like me who were trying to help the "owners" of a boutique that burned down in the CA fires in LA! I can't believe that they are STILL allowed to be advertising and selling products online when they refuse to honor refunding clients like me who never received their product nor a refund! I hope someone out there in law enforcement can step in and help me and others get their money back from this "company." I've been very frustrated about this situation and I hope that someone can do something to stop this fraudulent behavior!
