I saw these lamps that I liked. I went to their website and ordered the lamps on December 15. I did not receive them. When I sent an email to inquire about them, they said their carrier couldn't deliver them. The said I had to contact the USPS. The Post Office said they received them on 12/27/25 and they would be delivered the next business day. I emailed them repeatedly to please return my money, but all I get is an automated response saying they will contact me soon. There is no phone number listed anywhere, only an email address.

Call to our main office line. Caller ID'd himself as being with Growth Index Group. Hard to understand because the call kept cutting out. He said they were an office relocation company and their "research team had conducted research" and he wanted to know if we were moving in the next year. He could not provide more information about where they got our phone number, and when I asked for more information, he said he couldn't provide it. I pushed for details and he clearly wanted to end the call. He said he will call back in the next year.

Online Purchase - Blue Ease Optics

This was an ad on TV, on the You Tube channel specifically, very convincing ad for eyeglasses not only to reduce blue glare from computer etc but also was for distance and close proximity vision. The glasses came, (2 pairs when I had ordered one,) and the ad details the 30 day money back guarantee. Conveniently no mention that the dubious 'restocking fee' will deplete your refund when coupled with the return shipping. I am disgusted.

This postcard was received on 2/11/2026, but it is not the first time these scammers have sent mortgage threats. The recipient to which this mail was addressed, does not reside at this address. The current assumption is that they are trying to get the owner of the address to respond out of concern. There is a phone number in the message, plus a separate one below at the bottom of the postcard. (The previous mail from Mortgage Services Group, LLC was "returned to sender" and marked with "not at this address" by the current resident.) Note the postal stamp from Daytona BCH, FL and the two phone numbers: 877-899-1809 and 833-923-3018. After Googling the numbers - each one had multiple reports of scam, fake phone calls, and phishing.

Paid $1.00 for a vehicle history report while shopping for a car. The add was fed off Auto Trader if I remember correctly. The report they sent had no useful information but an ad came up for a more in-depth report for another $6.00 or so. At this point I realized I had been scammed but since it was only a buck it wasn't worth disputing. I did not opt for the more expensive report. A few days later a charge for 29.95 showed up. I never authorized it. I never signed up for any kind of subscription. I read all the fine print when attempting to purchase the initial report. It never mentioned any other charges. I called my bank and they said it was a recurring charge. I'm in the process of disputing it. I've seen several other people online had the same experience.

Credit Repair/Debt Relief - Debt Relief Scam

They claimed that they were going to pay down my credit card and that I would only have to pay them $298.33 a month for 24 months! They then tried charging one of my credit cards for the 8000.00 plus claiming that it was for a lawyer who I never talked with. I stopped the charge to my card and canceled the card. I have also blocked all of the numbers that they have called from. They were very high pressure and causing me to sign an agreement. I have sent and email to the agreement address within less than 24hrs of signing, canceling my agreement. My understanding of Maryland law is that you legally have 48 hours to cancel any contract. I will also say that when they first called they made it appear as if they were calling from the Bank that the credit card was on, that is the main reason I even answered the call. They told me that they had received a cease and desist letter from this debt consolidation company and that I needed to deal with them. I was then transferred and that is how it all began.

Employment - Appen USA Talent

I was contacted/connected online about a work-from-home job as an independent contractor with a company calling itself “Appen USA Talent.” I believed it was related to the real company Appen, which does AI and data work. Job offer and website I was offered a remote job as a Customer Agent (Chat/Email – WFH). I was directed to use the website appenusatalent.com and/or appenusa.com to view my offer and complete onboarding. The offer letter and dashboard looked professional, so I believed it was legitimate. Onboarding and personal information As part of the onboarding, I was asked to provide: Full name Home address Email address Social Security number I entered this information into their online portal and/or forms they provided. Payment request for “course” or “training” After onboarding, I was told I needed to purchase a course/training in order to start the job. I was instructed to pay using a prepaid bank account/card, and I provided the prepaid account information for this purpose. This was presented as a required step before I could begin working and getting paid. Red flags and discovery I later learned that: Legitimate employers typically do not charge applicants for training or courses to start a job. The domain appenusatalent.com is not the official Appen website (the real company uses appen.com). I was told this operation is likely a scam using the Appen name to collect money and personal information. Information and money at risk I have already provided: My Social Security number My home address My email My prepaid bank account information I am concerned about identity theft and unauthorized use of my financial information. Current status I have stopped communicating with them and stopped any further payments. I am reporting this to warn others and to document that my personal and financial information may have been exposed through this fake “Appen USA Talent” job offer. Extra details you can add in the BBB form Website used: appenusatalent.com (and/or appenusa.com if you interacted with that too) Type of scam: Employment / Job Offer Money lost: Enter the exact amount you paid from the prepaid account (or “$0” if no money actually left).

Caller claimed to be from a “County Process Server’s Office” and said I was being served with legal documents requiring a court appearance but did not provide the county! They created urgency by warning about a failure to appear and instructed me to call an “attorney in charge” for details. They used official sounding language but did not clearly identify a specific county or courthouse where this was supposedly filed. They also contacted multiple family members, including my ex spouse, sister, and father, to relay the same message. The main tactic was pressure through fear and embarrassment by involving relatives and implying immediate legal consequences, while pushing me to call a number for “details.”
