Counterfeit Product

Had been seeing this ad for ClarityBlue for at least a month on YouTube for eyeglasses that would automatically adapt to both distance and closeup vision needs, also filter blue light and darken in the sun like sunglasses. I had a pair of photo reactive glasses in the past and am aware of cataract correction lenses that adapt for both reading and distance so I expected this was possible. I did not make the purchase via the YouTube ad but had it, or a similar ad, under the same name pop up while doing other research on my phone so I decided to try it out. The price I paid was about $34 plus a shipping and handling fee. The amount cleared my bank in a few days under the name Spearlifestyle. About a week later the package arrived via USPS with a return address of US LOGISTICS GROUP, 841 FAIRMONT ROAD, ELIZABETH, NJ 07201. The label appears to have been applied over another label and I have not attempted to remove the top label for fear of destroying evidence. The name on the product packaging is NOBLU VISION GLASSES with a card inside listing [email protected] as a place to ask questions. NoBlu Vision is a logo on the bottom of the card. By this time both my wife and I had tried the glasses and knew we had been scammed. I also have received two emails regarding this order, both of which show CLARITY BLUE as the sender and one which contains the clarity blue logo image. I am retaining all this if it can be useful in tracking down the perpetrators of this scam. Please do something before others are scammed as well.

Online Purchase - ravixia

This website appears to be an online store selling balance boards while using stolen product images taken from an established and legitimate business. The images were copied without permission and are used to advertise and sell products as if they are original or sourced from the same brand. The site does not clearly identify the business owner, company registration, or verifiable business details. This lack of transparency, combined with the unauthorised use of copyrighted images, may mislead consumers into believing they are purchasing from a trusted or well known brand when they are not. Shoppers should be cautious of online stores that reuse images from other brands, do not provide clear business identification, or have recently created websites with little independent online history.

I order a jersey from this site over a month ago. The tracking states it’s awaiting for USPS to pick up package. I have contacted them numerous times and only received an automated message that it is on its way. This was going to be a birthday gift to my child. I keep asking them to give me the status and if they are not going to be able to deliver then refund me my money. This feels like such a scam and recommend anyone looking to shop with this site to be aware of these scammers. I sent a final email requesting for a refund. I don’t know what the outcome will be.

Rental - Kailua-Kona Rentals

There was a pretty legitimate looking website with several properties posed in the Kailua-Kona area, supposedly for vacation rental for really great prices. We put in what we thought was a reservation and received an immediate confirmation email and text directing us to the email. There was a rental agreement including the owner's name listed as Hannah Yates. We returned the filled out form. No charges were made to my account, which I thought was odd, and the booking felt incomplete to me. I checked, and I had a text asking if the payment had gone through, to which I responded no. The texter responded that their system had been down and that there was an option to instead pay through zelle, venmo, or apple pay, red flag. They then deleted the text about the system being down, but left the other one about alternative payment methods. I was suspicious, so looked up the email and phone number for scams and found them. I also went back to the website and it was gone. I then found the posted residence on VRBO with a different host name listed.

The man called from New York number 646-536-9618 saying he was from ssi to set up my appointment for ssi. I asked why it shows up a new york number and he said they contract with amazon phone service and has been for 2 years. Which i had a scheduled call back so i thought it was a legitimate call. He had all my information already including my bank information. He asked where i was born, and continued to say thats where he lived for 20 years. Then a woman calls from another local Oklahoma number 918-509-4769 saying she had a time for this week to set up my appointment. By this time i was questioning if they were legitimate people from social security so i requested to have a letter sent to me. She said that was on me and that i would only have 30 days. Felt like pressure so i said no to making any decisions on the phone until i can get ahold of ssa to confirm they were real and not spoofers or scammers. They had all my personal and financial information. Which scares me.

I was stupid that I didn't check reviews. The website was highly advertised on Instagram and Facebook. I ordered 2 dresses. When the first dress arrived, I emailed the company and said I wanted to return it and since the 2nd dress was the same, would want to return it also. The dresses was horrible and not at all like pictured. They emailed me, saying I couldn't return anything but they could give me 20% back (which they didn't). Or I could purchase something else (?). I attempted to open a dispute with American Express (what I used to purchase), but they are unable to start one. I assume because they aren't a real business. This company is in China and a total scam. Buyers need to be warned and this site needs to be shut down. I was an idiot!!

When I disputed through my Paypal account, which is how I paid for it, PayPal checked up on this and got an email from the company showing the product was delivered to an address in Humble, TX!

We had our roof replaced in 2019 by Shelley Construction. When they came out we agreed on a red shingle bc we didnt want black. Once they finished the job we found out they put on dark black shingles. When we asked about it they said they were out of the ones we wanted and just put the black ones on and charged us twice the price for the black ones as they did for the red ones. Then we agreed on $8300 for the job, bc that was what the insurance company said it should cost. When we signed the contract it was for $8300, our printer wasnt working at the time so they promised to give us a copy the next day. We never saw a copy of the contract we signed. Once the job was finished we got a bill for $22,000. We asked them about it and they basically said sucks to be you. The very next day they went and put a lein on my home. Now, we paid off the roof in october 2025 and to this day they still have the lein on. They said that we still owe $500 to remove the lein eventhough we have proof it was paid off. We went thru a company called Fund My Deductible and the site even says "0.00 owed".

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam - Facebook Ads

I saw the many advertisements on Facebook for these D3+K2 Vitamins designed specifically for Black women because of our high Vitamin D deficiency rate. So I ordered them, after a few months of seeing these ads basically every day, in my feed. I ordered on December 15, 2025 and the payment came off my card immediately. It is advertised delivery within 8-12 business days from processing, which means it would come just after Christmas. Christmas and New years came and left, no delivery. I emailed using the Crownher Naturals info email, and they responded that delivery was going smoothly and my package is in transit. When I checked tracking, there were all these international flights on the manifest, but what really got me was that there was no origin of where the first flight supposedly came from. This is where I knew I got got. I emailed them again and by the 3rd time they said it was going to be their last update for me, but everything is still running smooth, with a little delay, but my package was still in transit. I wrote them several times after that as February is now coming to a close, and told them I want my money back because I am no longer interested and they have stop responding to my inquiries, and I am out almost $44 and still no vitamins. I have been looking them up but no one seems to know where this company is located. This is definitely a Scam- from there is no phone number to call or a place/state/country of origin, IT'S A SCAM! The worst part is that I thought it was legit because of the constant and diverse advertising. I did not want to buy them from Amazon because I wanted to directly support what I thought was a Black owned business. I got SCAMMED!

At that time she informed me that if I were to pay $150 insurance fee my application would be approved After several days of calling the company I was told I needed to pay additional fees to proceed with the loan application. I all document of the total amount of fees I paid which total $1350.00 I repeatedly ask the rep will this be the final payment of fees I will pay However after paying a document fee of $300 on 02/13/26 I informed the representative that I would like to cancel my application and all payments be returned to my account. I was told at that time I would have to pay a fee of $450.00 to have my full refund. At that point I refuse to give Lending Club anymore money I later found out that Lending Club does not ask for money upfront and does not charge for cancellation of a application.
