I was on social media scrolling when I came across these discount purses. The social media page was Glam-aholic, not Glamaholic ( the latter is the official business). The advertisement listed five dollar deals on purses. I bought some purses, a backpack, and a beanie. I made this purchase in August. I received tracking information about the shipping and when I received notification that the delivery was made, I looked around my mail room and spoke with my property manager. There was no package for me anywhere. I proceeded to email customer service at [email protected], and I told them that I did not receive my package. At first, customer service apologized and said that they would ship out a second free of charge. I was actually home when I received notification in the tracking website that the delivery was made. I was downstairs in the mail room and there was no truck or no delivery person that left my building. Then I get furious and demand a refund. “Customer service” tells me due to force majeure, my refund would be processed, but would take up to 25 business days and I would only receive a partial refund back, not a full refund. At this point, I checked the official social media page of Glamaholic and they make a post about their company being scammed. At this point I emailed the supposed customer service team and I tell them I know that they’re a scam. I’m reporting them to the Better Business Bureau. They gave me the same line that due to the force majeure, my refund would take 25 business days to process, and I would only receive a partial refund.

Voyage MI (Voyage LA) portrays themselves to be an online magazine to highlight small businesses local to your area, specifically targeting the creative community. At first glance, it seems legit and like an amazing opportunity to be featured! I had seen other local small business friends featured, so I thought it was legit and so excited when they reached out to me. Once my article was published and live online, I was so excited! I couldn't wait to share. Then they offered me a printed piece of my article feature and I figured sure, what a great keepsake and to show off for my business. After I paid the invoice, which also was legit, the communication completely stopped. I was initially told 4-8 weeks for my print, which I knew could be realistic considering my background in print marketing, I could understand sometimes print production and shipping timelines are long. After the 8 weeks, I started reaching out and following up with no response. I tried reaching out to the billing email as well and no response. I have followed up with both emails numerous times over the last month+ and nothing. After doing some digging online, I've found some social media posts about how it is a scam. They find creatives to feature online (for free) and then entice you with upselling a print piece, only for you to pay and never receive it, and then get completely ghosted. MAJOR SCAM!!!

I received a confirmation for my order but no shipping information. After 2 weeks I looked up my order number and their system said the order could not be found. I sent an email to the provided email address along with all documentation including the withdrawal from my account. No response. I called the number provided which started with "You have been selected to receive a $100 gift card for more information press 1 or you can hang up" I pressed one to move forward and the call was picked up by a foreign representative who went straight into trying to get me to accept a free $100 gift card. I would not give her any of my information. Then in order to get help with the purpose of my call she wanted me to verify my identity by providing account information for an "active" bank account. When I would not give her my bank account number she said I was not willing to cooperate and hung up on me. Company EIN: 30-1656800

A fake Instagram account was advertising a sale from music artist Bad Bunny and using AI to post images promoting the sale of a mystery box of exclusive items. The mystery box was “free” and all you have to pay is shipping fees. After you pay the shipping fees and complete the transaction, there is no confirmation email or any contact at all. The website has no contact information. The Instagram account doesn’t respond to inquiries. It’s all fake. They take your money and never send you any products.

Went to renew passport online because it needed to be expedited. Everything looked very legit. It did ask for SSN and birth date. Which was given. It gave me options to expedite for an additional fee, which I knew would be the case regardless. I paid $153.95 , printed out the paperwork and mailed everything to the correct official address to renew my passport, but I did NOT mail any additional money since I had paid online already. After finding out that this site is a scam I am demanding a full refund, and praying that I am still able to renew my passport before my travel out of the country later this month.

I reserved a hotel through the site and received confirmation but when i arrived at the hotel I was told there's no reservation. I called Algotel and they told me they cannot find my info when they already charged the amount to my credit card. They then hung up on me.

Received "2026 - Annual Renewal Instruction Form (Minnesota Businesses)" with an intentional mistake in our zip code on the form (but was correct in the mailing address) and instructions to make payment to correct the mistake ($55) and file the annual business renewal ($135) with the MN Sec. of State (which is a free service on the Sec. of State's website).

I send a passport to my son he was traveling on Thursday I was told the package would be there on Wednesday end of the day. The package did not arrived until Thursday my son lost the money for the trip. I filed a claim with Alexandra the store owner she said I would receive a check in 10 days the check never came I called ups and I was informed a claim was never filed. I left multiple message no response I went to the store and she told me they were very busy and of coarse she filed a claim she would get back to me never did. I left another message letting her know I was tired of waiting and would escalate. She finally replied that I was not entitled to a refund because it’s not guaranteed, so she made me go through all this when she never filed a claim. I was told at the store that the package was guaranteed end of the day on Wednesday. Unprofessional, liar, worst customer service I’ve ever experience. Ill be taking this up with corporate 1ZA148070212227699

Received a suspicious “final notice” letter claiming to be from a “Private Lender” regarding a property. The letter, dated 11/25/2025, included a fake perforated check for $199 labeled “Allocated Waiver” and urged immediate contact at a toll-free number (1-800-209-5527) to avoid revocation of the waiver within 7 days. It featured a generic “Home Owner ID” (e.g., CH6883281), vague property details, and phrases like “IMMEDIATE RESPONSE REQUESTED” to create urgency. The letter included a disclaimer stating “THIS IS NOT A CHECK” and “Not affiliated with Private Lender,” raising red flags. While a legitimate lender or mortgage company was named, and the language was filled with jargon (e.g., “allocated waiver”) without substance, the lender listed is not the current holder of the homeowner's mortgage, but rather is the one that can be found in public records. The phone number and letter format match reports of mail-based phishing scams targeting recent homeowners, likely using public real estate records. Avoid calling or cashing the check, as it’s a tactic to harvest personal information or money.

They contacted me to be ambassador. They said I would get their jewelry box for free every month all I had to do was pay for shipping so I agreed. The shipping was the price of an actual piece of jewelry. They then took a whole month to even ship the item. As soon as they shipped the item, they charged me again. I tried multiple attempts to get in contact with the support team to cancel my “subscription” but they seemingly ignored me. The only way to “cancel the subscription” was to do it yourself for “security reasons” but there wasn’t a single option on the website to be able to do it yourself. The only thing I could find after endless searching was to delete my debit card info off of their payment platform. The first package I received from them, was extremely low quality. They were these huggie hoops with hearts on them. Within maybe two minutes, if not less, of putting them on… the hearts fell off of the hoop.

Website advertised FREE qr code generator. Upon completing the account, I noticed days later it said "free trial". I decided to pay for 1 month as it advertised a monthly amount but it actually bills annually. I emailed immediately after to request a refund and cancel the account and they refuse to refund even though I contacted them immediately. The website is very deceiving and not clear. No where does it state "FREE TRIAL" it says FREE QR CODE! I am now out $215 cad. Their customer service is awful and refuses to refund any of it.

I went online to book a hotel. I talk to a guy named AERO I booked a hotel through ASAP Tickets. I called the hotel to see if my booking went through and they said it did not. They did not see my name. I called Asap Tickets and they said I had to pay more money to get the room, I did that after already booking the room, but I still never got my. I called to complain and they said they would refund me my money, but they never did. They have been giving me the runaround. I also booked a flight with ASAP Tickets as a third-party I schedule my flight- paid for my ticket- paid for the Travel care protection plan For if I needed to reschedule & something came up where I had to reschedule my flight, but they told me I cannot reschedule!!! So now I’m out of a flight and I’m out of money. I tried to call Them. I tried to talk to the manager and I was told cannot change, but if I was to give More money, I would be able to change. SCAM!! SCAM!!!! SCAM!!!

I received a text message from http://dominantwire.com/39D268QMQKFOA8YIRjqpEI . The message stated that I had 1 unclaimed reward and there was a link to Click and so I did .

The company advertises as a NeeDoh advent calendar with a 30 day satisfaction full refund guarantee. The photos of the product resemble those of the real NeeDoh advent calendar but when received, nothing in the package is as advertised on the website or on the package itself. When the company is contacted for a refund, they state the refund is 14 days and does not include shipping. They also state that since the product will need to be sent back to their small factory in China, it can be costly to return as they do not offer free returns. They offer an “exceptional one-time exception” of 15% refund and the customer can keep the item. If the customer chooses this option, they end up paying about $35 for 12 useless balls of goo.

I was looking for a U.S. passport application for children and came across Epassportservices.org. I clicked on to find out more and proceeded to fill out the application. At the end of the application they asked me for payment details, but it was still unclear what exactly the "services" were. I assumed this was a part of the government so I paid the $119.00, which then opened up a link to download the file. The file that I downloaded was positioned as an application packet, but it was literally the same exact form that is publicly available for FREE, the DS-11 form for new passport applications. I tried to go back and request a refund, but there was no option, on top of that there was no e-mail confirmation or receipt. I looked again on their website to understand what exactly the "services" entailed, but the link to "see more details" is fake and not hyperlinked to anything, it's just text. I emailed customer support and there was no response after several days, so I called the phone number on the website. The person who answered the phone was extremely rude and kept telling me that they did their part and provided the "service" and then hung up on me. The service they are suggesting that they provided was the form to download (which is already available to the public!). There was no service in scheduling an appointment, processing the application, or any help with filling out the form. When a customer support representative hangs up on the customer, that is clearly a red flag. A claim has been submitted to my bank and also the FTC for the misleading services on their website.

I received an email from someone who claimed to be Melissa Gray from AG. I looked up this name and found a recruiter with a lawyer recruitment business with this name in the private sector. I offered my personal email address and was told to communicate through WhatsApp. Two pieces of information do not match. AG is Attorney General’s office, and the text said that they got my information from the USA recruitment database which is similar, but not the same as the USA Jobs website. I provided my WhatsApp tag out of curiosity, but when I saw the “position” was for part-time free lance work atNexxen, I knew it was a scam and stopped replying.

Went from a holiday trip in Mexico and noticed a ridiculous overcharge on my credit card of CAD472 for buying a Coco tequila called El deleite. This tequila tasting was included on our tour package and the travel company’s got nothing to do about it. The sales guy and I had some negotiation from buying a supposed to be $1000 MXN to a $600 MXN yet I got charged for $6000 MXN instead. The guy told me the chip wasn’t working so I had to do it twice and I believe that is when they changed the price from 600 to $6000 MXN I’ve spoken with RBC bank twice with no luck and I don’t have any contact with the tequila tasting company. I do not have a receipt from them, hence the reason for my bank to not honor the dispute which is devastating. Upon searching online, this tequila reyes company is an ongoing scam and should I have known, I wouldn’t have bought anything.

Was sent screenshots by a friend (who was hacked) of a "Mr Beast Casino" under the website "Vyrobet.cc" or "Vyrobet.com" with the promise of a free bonus of $2500 upon signing up. Withdraw was not available since a deposit was needed for verification. I was then routed to Transak, made an account and verified my wallet, to then send $200 as verification for Vyrobet to withdraw the extra money promised. I paid and was informed I would need another $300 deposit to verify my wallet. I then asked my friend that sent me the screenshots if it was a scam with and they confirmed it was a scam but it was too late.

Upon a google search of "Hilton" along with the specific hotel location that I wanted, a local phone number came up. I called the local phone number & "Thank you for calling reservations" etc. After selecting "new reservation" I was put on the line with an agent who intentionally represented themselves as Hilton hotels. I made my reservation believing I was booking through the actual Hilton. I specifically stated I would only make the reservation if the hotel has a hot tub which was promised. The day before check in, I called the Hotel to request early check in and asked if the pool and hot tub were accessible before the room was ready. The front desk agent stated the hot tub was broken. I requested to cancel my reservation (more than 24 hrs prior to check in) and was advised I booked through a third party & she is unable to modify my reservation. She was able to give me the company name of Hotel Planner. After searching for my itinerary # H******** I called to cancel and was told my reservation was non refundable however, they would put in a request & I would receive an e-mail of the cancellation. I called 3x that day and never received the e-mail. Day of check in I receive a text from the Hilton stating they were looking forward to my arrival. I called Hilton Corporate and was advised of my rights and was told to contact Hotel Planner again and let them know that Hilton Corp stated they NEED to contact the front desk. Called HP again & spoke with French. After French contacted Lou at the front desk, who canceled the reservation. Per French I would be refunded the full amount of $474.46. After several calls within the weeks to follow, I finally received an e-mail stating I would not be refunded. BEWARE. THEY WILL PRETEND TO BE "CENTRAL RESERVATIONS" at whichever location you are looking to book and when you ask them "Are you Hilton?" or "Do you work for _" they will hang up on you and call you back to say " Do you want to make your reservation" Thankfully I have everything documented and recorded and fully intend on taking this to Hilton Corporate. Maybe then they will stop stealing from people and impersonating huge franchises.

I uploaded the conversation with the support agent but I should explain everything. JR is a social casino that has free bonuses. As a way of making extra money I participate and most don't require purchasing to use. In fact in terms of purchasing to use this is the first. Every other one has given money that I have won since March this is about ~$4500. I get they each have their rules and regulations. However, even given the quoted rules that is still in violation and honestly just reasonable or common sense standards. As per the conversation as stated above I go through the social casinos on a daily basis and collect money playing through when appropriate. JR is no different. Unlike others you can't automatically redeem as stated you have to purchase first. In previous conversations I had asked about the amount earned through free bonuses before purchasing and what happens in terms of redemptions. I was told 100$ was the max. So when I reached 100$ I purchased (yes it is small but if it happens for it small it's going to happen bigger too). I want to clarify there is redeemable and unplayed coins two separate categories. With the purchase I had unplayed real money coins from the purchase and a small amount from the daily bonuses I don't know why this bifurcation happened (this was roughly 1$). Myredeemable coins my redeemable coins were under 100$. The minimum ACH redemption was 100$. I had 19$ in unplayed real money coins. I played through these coins and was able to get well above 100$. The maximum redemption possibly due to a glitch was 100$ as well meaning I left behind money in my account. When the amount came through I shockingly received 25$. Last time I checked 25 was not 100. Pursuant to the conversation he says 25 is the max given for daily logins. That's understandable not sure the leglity on this but I can work with it as 25 isn't also 0. Why I am writing this though is the amount on the account again the conversation he says it was all logins but that is untrue. I played through the coins given (he acknowledges) and won. Meaning the amount given should be 25$ + X amount my win was. This didn't happen. In fact I actually would be happier if it was just what the win was because on principle it wouldn't be mispresented. Again using the conversation *after* these real money coins had been played and I won I was refunded my purchase to avoid paying out the win. To me this is a scam because I refuse to believe they refund every single non win purchase. I also refuse to believe I am the only one. Can the BBB do anything to investigate, shutdown, or levy reprecussions for these actions that are unethical and in my view and hopefully yours illegal business tactics.

I was looking for a piano on facebook marketplace. I found one listed as free by "Irene Lockett". I messaged "Irene" and she said, "I posted this ad on behalf of my brother, who is generously offering the piano" and provided me her "brother's" email address ([email protected]) and said to reach out to him. I emailed the provided address and got a sob story about how he was downsizing after his wife passed away from cancer and that it was her dying wish to see that the piano got to a good home. They said I could arrange for the freight company to deliver the piano and provided me with connectinglogisticsinc.com and said to open a chat and give them a Referral ID they provided. I navigated to the connecting logistics inc website and opened the chat, provided the Referral ID, and they asked for my address. They then said, "COST ESTIMATE: Based on the weight and miles, it will cost a total of ~$990.88 (3 day delivery with insurance)". I got suspicious and did some research using information on the site and discovered that their website seems to be a duplicate of https://sealioncargo.com/ (a legit freight company).

I wanted a QR code to put on an event flyer. The company advertised QR codes that were complete free. I created my code put it on my flyer then distributed it to my students and parents. The event was at an elementary school where I work as a teacher. Two weeks later the company contacted me and said that unless I subscribed and bought a plan, my QR code would deactivate. I really didn't need a plan at all. I had no interest in using their service again. Had they mentioned anywhere that I would need to sign-up and pay, I would've never used their "free" service. That was the first disingenuous thing they did. They advertised a plan that cost only 11 dollars a month. And it very clearly stated that I could cancel any time. I honestly didn't even want to pay the 11 dollars, but figured it was worth it to prevent any confusion with kids and parents because I had so many flyers already distributed. I bought what I thought was an 11 dollar / month plan, and they immediately charged me 132 dollars. I thought for sure that it was a mistake. The company has no way of contacting them besides emailing an AI bot. They kept telling that there is nothing they could do. They bill annually even though their advertisement so clearly showed that I can cancel after one month. Do NOT use this service. Tricking and manipulating people is how they make their money.

I wanted to change my JetBlue reservations to a day earlier so that I could visit family while in Boston. I tried online and got an email response that my status would not allow a change. I did a web search to get a number for JetBlue reservations and received an 888 number that indicated it was JetBlue. They said their computer system would only allow a change if I paid for a full price ticket. They would upgrade my status and issue a new ticket and then refund the full amount of the upgrade. I said I would only do it if I received an email with the terms in writing. I received an email confirming the terms and I proceeded to make the change. I received a schedule change notice from JetBlue shortly after with my original confirm ID so I thought nothing of it. I never received the refund and JetBlue said I made the reservation through an agency so they could not pay a refund. Shortly after the change and before my flight I noticed 2 charges on my credit card for Google Ads and disputed these and was issued a new card. In hindsight I believe these events were connected .

# 1. How I Found MIND MARKER. I first came across **MIND MARKER** as a small business owner because they kept sending me emails that contained a short “customized” response and a free so-called “LOCA report” in response to my Trademark Refusal by USPTO. The messaging made it seem like a personalized assessment of my trademark situation, when in reality it was just a generic AI-generated document designed to get people to engage with them. I looked at their well-designed website, which looks very professional and encouraged me to schedule a free consultation call, which I eventually did. During the call, Roland confidently assured me that he would “tailor the response” to my case and incorporate my notes — but at the time, I didn’t yet realize how many red flags would follow. # 2. They are NOT Qualified. Later, I learned: - MIND MARKER has **no licensed trademark attorney** on their team - The operation is run by **Roland Dorotheo**, also known as **Roland Sacristan** - The LOCA report he "invented" is a complete scam, the unusually high success rates claimed on the website is highly misleading, with no verified data support. # 3. A History of Rebranded Scam Sites. After my suspicions grew, I dug deeper, and found that: - "mind-marker.com" shares the same domain ownership as "ip-ed.com" and "ensonow.org", all run by Roland - Roland also ran "tmsitter.com" (now closed) - Both "tmsitter.com" and "ip-ed.com" have been widely reported online as scams And here’s the key part: Mind Marker is *not* a new company. It’s the same person, repeatedly rebranding after bad reviews or scam reports. # 4. Manipulative Pricing — Changed 4 Times in 2 Weeks. When I first visited MIND MARKER, there were 6 options of service packages. I down paid *$750* for the “SuccessPay” package, sold as including: - revisions - filing - handling other issues in Office Action besides “likelyhood of confusion” Within two weeks, I noticed the packages and prices changed and changed again, and changed a fourth time. My $750 package suddenly dropped to $399. He updated the pricing **again**, increasing the max from $1,198 to $1,597 — **within one hour** after I requested a refund. What a game! # 5. Fake Reviews & Fake Credibility. None of the “client reviews” on the MIND MARKER website are verifiable. Roland’s own LinkedIn has only around 30 connections, and his “book” has **no sales, no reviews**, and appears self-published just to pose as an expert. # 6. Scam-Associated Address. Their listed business address: **30 N Gould St Ste R, Sheridan, WY 82901** is a reported scam address used by mass-registered shell companies. # 7. Unusable Template “Draft”. Two days after payment, he sent me a “draft response”: - a 30 pages long template with a lot of legal sounding language, but with minimal customization - ignored important issues raised in the USPTO Office Action - obviously did **not** incorporate the notes I provided It could not be used or submitted to USPTO. # 8. Broken Promises. Roland promised a revised draft: - “early next week” - then later promised by the 26th I received nothing. I followed up on the 28th — no reply, until 30th I requested a refund, they replied immediately with excuses, no revised draft ever sent. # 9. Refund? Once I pieced together everything: - the unusable draft and the missing revisions - the constant price manipulation - connected to multiple previously reported scam sites - the fake reviews and the scam address I immediately requested a full refund for the service he sold but never delivered (the first draft was unusable). And of course he refused, then incredibly - he turned around and called ME a scammer. (Perhaps he thinks I “scammed” him by pulling his tail and exposing his new rebranded operation before he could fool more people.) # 10. All Spam Emails Connected to Roland. I keep receiving emails from: "[email protected]", "[email protected]" These emails contained the exact same ads he sent, and replied directly to "[email protected]", one of the emails he used to communicate with me. The other email used is "[email protected]" Yes, so many different email addresses and domain names! This experience cost me money, time, and risked my USPTO deadline. If this post can prevent even one person from falling for the same scam, it’s worth sharing.

On November 19, 2025 I ordered mini bag sealer with cutter and magnet buy 2 get 1 free for $9.99 after shipping in came to 16.68. on November 21,2025 I checked my checking account and $21.68 was taken out and it said PAYPAL acordsgshop.

I searched “Southwest” on Google, and the first phone number that appeared was not the airline’s actual customer service number. It belonged to a scam operation posing as “Southwest Airlines Customer Service.” I called this fake number to request that my daughter’s ticket (she is a minor) be linked to another reservation, as she was flying with a friend’s family. The person who answered identified himself as a Southwest customer service representative. He told me that in order to link her ticket to the other reservation, the ticket would need to be re-issued and I would have to pay for it again, but that the amount would be refunded. Since it was my first time requesting this type of service—and because airlines often have unusual rules related to modifying reservations—I did not immediately suspect anything. After I paid, I was informed that the charge would appear on my credit card under the name “Earnflight.” That is when I realized I had been scammed. The alarming part is that the scammers had access to the Southwest website: they successfully linked my daughter’s ticket to the other reservation and even checked her in for her flight on the same day. I immediately contacted my credit card company to request a stop on the charge and to have a new card issued.

I ordered boots from their website after a few ads on Instagram. The shoes looked nothing like the picture and extremely poor quality. They would not return the boots for free but offered a 50% refund. I have been trying to get this refund for 1.5 months and they keep lying that they are doing it. I have tried to call and the number is never working. They will email you back but never follow through.

I purchased 2 x STEM CrafterBots from their website on 9/20/2025. I followed up and received an email from customer service stating that there would be an additional 4-6 week delay. I had already waited 8 weeks from the time the order was placed. I asked for my order to be cancelled and they said they could not cancel the order due to it's position with the fulfillment team. I requested a refund, and they refused, and told me to refuse the order when it's delivered then they will issue my refund. I challenged the charge with my bank. I did receive a credit from my bank. Do not buy from Pookino or Screen Free Days.

I signed up for an overseas teaching placement through TravelBud/XploreAsia, expecting a structured, safe, and legitimate program. What I received instead was a series of misrepresentations, unsafe instructions, and financial losses. The company advertised that they would handle visa guidance, school placement, housing, and ongoing support. Instead: • I was given incorrect and unsafe visa instructions, which placed me at legal and physical risk upon entering Thailand. • The agency pressured me into a placement that did not match what they advertised, including misrepresented job duties, housing, and contract terms. • After I arrived, the agency stopped providing support, passed responsibility around different coordinators, and ultimately left me to resolve major issues alone. • The school placement arranged through the agency involved unsafe conditions, including being instructed to come to work during official government flood warnings and evacuation alerts. • When these misrepresentations and safety issues were raised, the agency delayed communication, avoided accountability, and refused to provide a refund despite clear evidence. • I later discovered that the agency uses front-loaded positive reviews, while negative experiences appear months later when it’s too late for victims to get their money back. Many people are afraid to speak out because of Thailand’s strict defamation laws. This pattern matches what many other victims have reported: high upfront fees, misleading advertising, unsafe or inaccurate guidance, lack of support, and refusal to refund once problems begin. I am reporting this so others can avoid the financial loss and harm I experienced. The company markets itself as a safe entry into international teaching, but in reality, teachers are often left without support, placed in unsafe or misrepresented environments, and risk losing thousands of dollars. I am attempting to get a refund from them now, any assistance or support would be appreciated.

I googled online passport renewal and the top hit came up and looked legit. I added all of my information, thinking this was an online renewal. Paid the fee and received and email with a PDF of the information I just typed in but it was for a mail-in renewal. the $67.88 was used to just add my information on a free government form. I still have to pay the normal fees and MAIL the application in. Plus now a third party has my whole identity!

Found a phone number for United Airlines listed as a direct contact for customer service. Called the number and the man on the phone impersonated a United Airlines employee, pulling up flight details and pretending to work on changing a flight itinerary. At some point, he claimed that the only way to change flights without an extra charge would be to cancel the flight and book a new one. He then claimed that the credit card company we used to book the original flight was having problems running services, and that we would need to use a different card. Fraud alert sent a text saying the merchant/vendor was RICHFLIGHTS, but the confirmation email from the "company" said the vendor would be listed as EARNFLIGHTS. I checked online for listed scams against this new name and found multiple reports of it being a scam and tried to cancel the entire purchase, but they got defensive and hung up saying that they were going to cancel the flights and not get any refund. Checked the United website and it appears that no changes were made, but the charges went through and will now have to be disputed with the bank.

My wife recently started an LLC and was targeted with this mailing implying that she needed to pay a $135 fee to receive a current, compliant labor law poster to post in the workplace. In fact these are available for free from the state. At best this was deceptive, though it may not be illegal.

The website mimics the official US Passport application site but it is not affiliated with any official government site. It also charges you for producing the passport application which the government site provides for free. You think you're paying for the passport application but you are not.

I applied to a job with the company "Intellichildren" via Indeed dotcom and received an internal message from "Guadalupe Dominguez" asking me to follow a short link to a Google Doc (https://forms.gle/7XUTdY2NYqsYd5GF8 is what I was given). This doc stated that she was a "entrepreneur, human capital investor, and philanthropist" who was currently traveling in "North America Caribbean Island, Puerto Rico, and Europe" and required remote assistance. She asked that I email her personal information, including if I possessed a bank account but not requesting any banking information. The document stated that I would be paid $690 upfront to purchase "children gift items" which I would then send to a "Foster/Orphanage home (which [she would] provide [me] with the information)."
