Scammer posted a Joanne sale through facebook. Copied the entire website and enabled basket and paymrnt process, aaking for shpping and billing address of card, enail and phone number. Sales were 90%off due to closure of all stores. Made the payment. Received a payment confirmation with sales number indicating that items were getting ready for shipping. Their phone number is a pre recorded line to insurance and other services sales. No way to contact them. The email address bounces back. The business name of the store Joann and contact information provided by them in the website is slightly different. The fake contact information they provide is: • Phone: Call us at 1-800-525- 4961. Our lines are open Monday through Saturday from 9:00 AM to 9:00 PM EST and Sunday from 10:00 AM to 7:00 PM EST • Email: Drop us a message at service@joann- fabricsale.com. We strive to respond to all inquiries within 24-48 hours They are using the Joann store address on their fake website. My purchase was on March 3, 2025. They succesfully charged my card on March 13, 2026. Bank of America provided me with a temporary refund of the charges the next day after I reported the case, while they investigate my report.

This is posted as a business on Facebook. In reality it’s just someone with a tattoo gun in their kitchen and no licenses.

In searching the net for a particular breed of puppy, I saw an ad online about a cavapoo named "Lily." I responded with a few questions and began a correspondence with a woman "from Richmond, VA." As questions were asked and answered, it got down to the payment. She wanted Zelle. I had found the same dog on a website for Ark's Cavapoo Puppies and asked if I could just order it on that website (to see what pay options they had.) It was then that I was convinced it was a scam as they wanted Zelle, Bitcoin or Apple Pay. Then I again went to the BBB to see what was really going on.

I was scrolling on Facebook and saw an ad for Joann Closing Sale. It took me to a site where I was able to shop online for the same products I've seen at the store, at prices up to 90% off. I added 5 items to my cart and proceeded to checkout. I noticed the site was acting a little funky, in that it was only an online store and there was no other information about the store/company, but it looked so legit. I was promised free shipping by FedEx and that and smaller website triggered me to know I had just been scammed. I received a confirmation email saying Thank you for your order and I will be alerted as to when my items ship, and I never heard from them again. I am out $53.00, thankfully not more. I reported the fraud to my credit card company and am now reporting it here so you can warn other crafters/shoppers.

Found a site on Facebook that looked exactly like stitchy fish but at a fraction of the price. Had a field day selecting items that were so cute. Got through check out and got a confirmation from dresssnap. Immediately asked for a refund and still have not received it. The fraud occurred in December of 2024 and I’m still dealing with it.

I was called by someone saying they are with Chase and that two suspicious transactions were observed, for $1400 and $800. I was given a case ID and two cancellation numbers, and told I would have to speak to Zelle or they would be deducted from my bank account, even though I do not have a Zelle account. I gave out no information other than the name of my banks. When I was suspicious, he hung up.
