Tiktok ad for comfrt clothing. had a timer to recieve the discoun. i placed two orders and both came with confirmation and tracking. it’s been 31 days and my tracking says the packages were delivered. i reached out and they told me they were shipping me two new orders since i didn’t recieve the first shipment. i call BS. sounds legit in the emails, i even asked if it was a scam just to tell me so my kids wouldn’t be missing out on xmas gifts and they told me they were a verified, well known company and blah blah blah. it’s a scam. be smarter than i was!

Seller's website offers product with big discounts for larger purposes. The return/refund policy says it can be returned within 30 days. I purchased product, which arrived but does not dispense. I attempted a return that the seller has refused to process, and the seller then processed another payment; they subscribed me without consent. I never received the second shipment, and the 'tracking number' link took me to a site that appeared to be Chinese without tracking information but with a sales popup and then a porn popup.

I was told I would be signing up to be a product ambassador for the SoSo snatched fitness company. This was on September 29th 2025. Through Facebook messenger I contacted the owner off her Facebook business page. I sent my money through cash app and proceeded to wait. Weeks went by where there was no contact and she finally reached out and said she was sick and that she would get to me soon. I still have not heard anything back. I have attempted to request my refund through cash app, and through her website with no luck. The lady is active every day on Facebook and continues to post messages and ignore the people that are posting on her feed asking for their money back.

There was a contract made with Mark Pentecost about repairing the siding on my garage where it was struck by a driver without insurance coverage. On 4/4/25, I gave him a check for $200.00 to purchase the needed material. For several months he communicated to me that the siding was wrong/had not come/arrived, and he was busy with other work. He cashed the check the same day I wrote it. I have telephoned him throughout the past 8 months and his voicemail was not set up, texted him multiple times with little to no response. This exploitation extends to my daughter who gave you $1,000 cash to repair a place on her roof an damage to some siding. I am reporting this to hopefully prevent this from happening to others.

Ordered on March 23,2025 and still have not received to this day. I tried to contact them with no response

An automated call wanting to make a "loan". I receive 4 calls a day from a different 800 number and block each number.

Received a text on November 25 (from 47839) "Today is the final day to claim a $600 refund through the 2025 U.S. Safe Driver Program. Check your eligibility now: safedriverbenefit.com/***** Stop2End" Received a text on November 26 (from 47839) "Extended Today: $600 Safe Driver refund still open, don't miss your chance: Qualify here now: safedriverbenefit.com/***** Stop2End"

I received 6 or more calls a day from this "loan" company. I did not request or sign up for a loan.

Multiple calls, voicemails, and texts per day from “Tax Resolution Unit” offering persons loan and warning about impending deadline.

The merchandise received is very poor quality for what is advertised on their website. They would not honor their own 7 day return policy. They do not offer a return authorization or refund as outlined on their website. They only communicate by email and offer a small discount but will not provide a return auth or refund.

I was watching a video of the new bag sealer and cutter on instagram and thought it would make nice stocking stuffers for my adult children. So I decided to see how much they were, and it was during the Black Friday sales. I decided to take a chance it was cheap enough to risk. The grand total end price was $25.88 (not too bad for 5 items if the product was cheap or didn’t work) and when I used my card it charged an extra $8 dollars and some change (not for shipping, not for taxes that was already included in the $25.88) when the transaction went through and was completed, I said oh no!! So, I immediately emailed the customer service support email and asked them to cancel the order and do not ship! They emailed back next day and asked me why I wanted to stop order. I explained to them it was more than I wanted to spend, and then they emailed back and said sorry it’s already been shipped. I’m like I literally just ordered it!!! Going to chalk this up to lesson learned! I usually research my products and companies too….i don’t know why I didn’t do it this time! Laziness kicked in! Shame on me!

90817. You've probably seen rates coming down lately. Plus, underwriting has opened up quite a bit for people with less than perfect credit. So we went ahead and re-reviewed your old loan request this morning, and it's now showing a potential approval for about $67,000 if you're still interested and just press one now to connect with the underwriting team or call me directly at 855-909-0817. It's Monday today, and I'll be available until 6 PM. When you call, please ask for the underwriting team and mention your approval reference ID if you received one. Hope you're having a great day and looking forward to helping you finalize this. To stop updates. Simply press nine.

Incessant nonstop, spoofed calls to my mobile phone, at all hours of the day and night, leaving the same voicemail: “ …is delivered by Ridgegate financial. Our phone number is 934-947-9605. This message is from the loan department. We have a new offer of $55,000 in the form of a installment loan. Your monthly payment is estimated to be $400. To talk to a funding advisor, please choose option 2….” “ Our phone number is 934-947-9605. This message is from the loan department. We have a new offer of $55,000 in the form of a installment loan. Your monthly payment is estimated to be $400. To talk to a funding advisor, please choose option 2. If you wish not to be contacted again…”

I get about a dozen calls from various numbers a day claiming to be from ridgegate financial claiming that I've been approved for a loan. They say to hit 9 to be put on their do not call list. I've done this and blocked many of the numbers but they keep coming

They call offering a loan and to speak to someone press 2, to be put on the do not call list press 9...this never happens, they keep calling. If you press 2 they hang up. They have been calling me for well over 6 months and often leave a message without actually calling, not sure how they do this. This has been multiple times a day. Don't bother trying to get on the no call list, they then start calling twice as much. Not sure how to make it stop, or why they keep calling. They call at least once per day, sometimes more than 5 times a day. I am wondering if there is another more sinister reason for the calls, one that no one has picked up on yet.

I searched local fireplace companies near me and this came up and said it was verified and had reviews and said it serviced my area. I messaged them through Google and they asked for my phone number and then I texted a number it seemed legit they just asked for my availability for service and my address then I got a phone call to confirm . I texted to cancel a few days later because I no longer needed service and the texts seemed really odd like I was talking to a computer or something. Then I did some digging and found the real company had a different number than the one listed on the Google search . I’m really scared because I have a newborn at home and don’t want us to be in danger

I am filing a formal complaint against SelectSheds.com regarding my unfulfilled order and lack of customer service response. On November 22, 2025, I placed an order with SelectSheds.com for a storage shed totaling $548.99. The company collected my payment immediately, yet the order has remained in “Awaiting Fulfillment” status with no updates since the day of purchase. Since placing the order: The company has not shipped the product. Their customer service phone number is disconnected. They have not responded to multiple messages sent via their website chat and email. There is no alternative contact information available. This behavior strongly indicates that the business is either no longer operating, is engaging in fraudulent practices, or is knowingly accepting payments for products they cannot deliver. I am requesting: Immediate cancellation and full refund. Written confirmation that my refund has been processed. Investigation into this company’s business practices, as they appear to be taking money from customers without fulfilling orders. If I do not receive a response within 1 business days, I will proceed with: Filing a chargeback/dispute with my bank for nondelivery of goods. Submitting a complaint to the Better Business Bureau (BBB). Filing a report with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC). Notifying my state’s Attorney General Consumer Protection Division. I expect a prompt resolution to this matter.

Saw a TikTok ad selling jeans, thought the price was great and bought multiple items from said sale. Received a tracking number and website to follow the tracking. 32 days later was marked delivered to my town and zip code and I have nothing.

This company has called from at least 25 different number at least 5 times a day needing my social security number and bank information for an approved loan. I have asked several times and even went and tried to opt out of the phone calls but they still call. I asked to speak with a manager and was hung up on. Please take action and help me

English Translation I always thought I was cautious enough— until the day I received a call from a company named COHIRES Human Resources. It was an ordinary afternoon. I had just sent out a few resumes when the phone rang. A woman with a calm, professional voice told me that my profile had been “selected by their system” and matched a position they were handling for a multinational corporation. My heart sped up. That long-lost feeling of hope suddenly surged back into my chest. She spoke convincingly, telling me I had the potential to enter their “international candidate pool,” and that all I needed was to complete a $5,000 professional evaluation and certification. I hesitated, but everything they provided looked real— the website, the contract, the consultant team photos, the partner company logos, the mock interview schedule… I even found a few “positive reviews” online, as if they existed solely to reassure someone like me. In the end, I paid. 1. The Beginning—Everything Looked Real As soon as the money was transferred, they immediately sent me several “assessment documents” along with a mock interview. The consultant’s feedback was so detailed it felt like advice from a genuine career expert: which responses demonstrated leadership which answers sounded too neutral which English expressions lacked professionalism I completely believed them. There were even three “international corporate” video interviews, but the interviewers never turned on their cameras, claiming it was part of an “internal confidentiality process.” At the time, I didn’t think much of it. 2. The Turning Point: The $20,000 ‘Position Lock Fee’ Then one day, I received an offer letter from someone named Evan, who introduced himself as an “International Recruitment Director.” He said a major global tech company intended to hire me and that I was just one step away from final confirmation. However, because there was another candidate in the last round, they recommended I pay a $20,000 ‘position lock fee.’ He claimed the money would be fully refunded two months after I started the job. The offer letter was eight pages long, each page featuring the company’s header, seals, and signatures—it looked flawless. But I suddenly noticed: the email address wasn’t a corporate domain the contract terms were vague and circular they always refused to let me speak with the “actual employer” directly I couldn’t calm down. A sense of dread began tapping at my chest. 3. The Truth Reveals Itself: I Had Been Targeted That night, I decided to do a full check. I looked up the domain registration of their website—nothing. I reverse-searched the consultant’s profile photos—every one of them was stolen from various websites. The “mock interview coach’s” video came from a paid online course platform. At that moment, it felt like a block of ice had been shoved into my stomach. I realized: The $5,000 was already gone. And their next target was the $20,000. 4. My Counterattack I didn’t confront them immediately. Instead, I saved every email, contract, recording, and screenshot, then: contacted my bank to file a fraud claim submitted all evidence to the cybercrime department posted anonymous warnings on job platforms searched social media for similar cases What I found made me furious and heartbroken— I wasn’t the first. And I wouldn’t be the last. Those “international video interviews,” those “professional assessment reports,” those “consultant photos”… were all templates, reused over and over with different names and logos to trick new victims. 5. The Final Realization COHIRES contacted me one last time with a simple reminder: “You have 48 hours to complete the $20,000 payment, or the position will be revoked.” I stared at the email. For the first time, I felt no anger—only clarity. This was a carefully engineered scam, and I was merely one of the “potential targets” they had selected. I finally replied: “I have submitted all evidence to the police. Your game is over.” After that, I blocked every one of their contacts. 6. Conclusion I’m still trying to recover the $5,000, but what worries me more is this— Somewhere out there, on a night as anxious as mine once was, someone else may pick up an identical phone call, hear the same promises, and fall into the same trap. All I can do now is write down everything that happened, hoping my experience becomes a small light that helps others sidestep the same pitfall.

I am contacting you to formally report a fraud committed by a supposed mentor named Kateryna Zhelyeznova, creator of the program “House of Gold” which she promotes on social media and charges through Stripe. * ** ********* *** *** ********* ********** ************ ************** ******* ********* **** **** *** ****** ******** *** ********** **** ******** Below is a clear chronological summary of the situation: At the end of August, I paid the full amount upfront for the “House of Gold” program, trusting her promises. This program included, according to her own sales materials, 90-minute 1:1 sessions, personalized coaching, close support, and a small intimate group for creative and entrepreneurial women. She never provided a proper contract on time. I received it one month later due to her disorganization, lack of structure, and total lack of professionalism. After paying, I had to wait more than 3 months just to receive a link for a single session because she was traveling, running retreats, and disappearing. Her team made constant mistakes, often disappeared for days, and she replied whenever she wanted. When I finally accessed the program, I found that the container had more than 60 people, which is completely different from what was promised. She could not handle the group, and the service was nothing like what she sold. I complained multiple times **** ********** ** *** ******** ************. Her communication was unprofessional, disrespectful, and her team continued to make repeated errors. Finally, after insisting and threatening to file claims, she processed a refund through Stripe. However: She kept two months of payments without justification, without my authorization. I requested cancellation within the timeframe clearly shown in the attached materials. She is manipulating information and acting unilaterally. This person is scamming entrepreneurial women, selling services she does not deliver, manipulating refund policies, and taking advantage financially. Her brand is called “Matriarca,” yet her behavior is abusive and completely contradictory to what she preaches. I have all the evidence.

Ordered product and paid. Product was to arrive in 5 - 9 business days, but it was not delivered. Seller says it is delayed and they will expedite. I explained I am moving in 2 weeks and gave my new address. I have since moved, a month later, and the seller says they have now delivered to my old address but no one has received it. I have emailed the seller numerous times and they insist it was delivered so it it not their problem. I asked for a refund or a new product sent to the correct address, but so far have been declined by the seller.

I purchased a sofa from 25home.com, which was advertised as in stock and ready for delivery. I paid in full, but after 15 days, I haven't received any update, shipping date, or delivery information. All attempts to contact them via email or website have been ignored – they've simply disappeared. Now, I'm having to dispute the transaction with my credit card to try to recover the money. I'm convinced this is a Chinese dropshipping scheme that lures customers with false promises, uses generic images, and fails to deliver, forcing bank disputes. Avoid this company at all costs! I recommend investigating these fraudulent practices.

I receive one phone call every day from a different “person” every time. The caller is an AI voice pretending to represent a loan service saying to call a different number, 855-909-0817, to get the loan. I never answer or call that number. The AI voice is incredibly realistic but subtle inconsistencies make it obvious. Sometimes they call and say they are me.

My husband saw on Facebook an add for 12 jogging suits for $34.99 and thought it was a legit company. We waited for 18 days only to see no product. He received tracking and it said the package was delivered Monday morning at 2:41 am and later 4:21 pm. To which no package was delivered. The tracking was through China Post, to be delivered by UPS or DHL, and neither said they had a tracking number associated with our order. There is no phone number for the company only an email.

Carter Toronto advertises as a Canadian company with a 30 day refund policy. In fact, *** ******* ** **** ** ***** *** there is no resemblance to what is advertised. The shoes are not leather and are cheaply made. They would not refund my money as advertised and advised that a full refund would only be possible if the goods were shipped back to their warehouse ** ***** at the purchasers expense, the cost of which is prohibitive.

i get over 10 calls a day about a loan i never requested. I have selected the do not call option but they keep coming every day.

I tried to buy a necklace from them for $14.68 on 11/16/2025, they charged me from a different company name, they charged me $10 dollars more than I agreed to pay. I called and they said it was because they upgraded my shipping, which I didnt ask for, I got no confirmation email of a purchase or anything, they said they would refund the $10.00 within 7 days. Over a week later now, no refund, no shipping email, and they charged me another $39.99, on 11/25/2025. I called and they said it is because they signed me up for their membership which I did not agree to. They said they would cancel the charge and It would be done within 3 days, and they would not be billing me again but if this isnt fraud I dont know what is. No product no confirmation email of a purchase no email about any items shipped, and charged me $64.67 for something that shoukd have been a 1 time $14.68 charge. Thats what I agreed to.

Hello, I hope you had a great weekend..... My direct line 855-909-0817..... potential approval for about 67,000 dollars.... SEVERAL CALLS A DAY FROM MULTIPLE NUMBERS BUT SAME MSG

Call from 513-257-0121. Looking to contact my family. Message states "My name is Laura Miller with National Process Service. This call is intended for ***. For a reference number ***-****.

They claimed to be suing my mom, and wanted personal information. The man was extremely rude when I tried to get more information and he threatened to sue me as well.

multiple calls a day refering to an old loan application i never filled out and telling me to call 855 909 0817 and ask for the underwriting team. more than likely a scam to get SSI and other personal information

I contracted this vendor for wedding videography and paid a deposit on May 13, 2025 through Venmo. Since booking, he has pressured me multiple times to pay the remaining balance months before it was due, despite previously stating he understood my financial timeline. His behavior raised concerns, so I researched his company and found several public complaints describing similar patterns: pressure for early payment, cancellations on the wedding day, poor-quality work, and customers reporting that he kept their money even in situations where he was the one who canceled due to issues on his end. Out of concern for reliability, I canceled services and requested a refund. The vendor refuses to return the deposit, despite consumer laws allowing refunds when there is anticipatory breach or reasonable concern a vendor will not perform. This is a pattern affecting multiple brides, and I am filing this complaint for assistance and to warn future consumers

I’ve been receiving multiple calls every day, for weeks now. I use the “screen” option on my phone, and never answer. However, these call continue daily.

NUMEROUS calls throughout the day from various phone numbers, all telling me I have been approved for a loan. Here is the voicemail message.. 05 this message is from the loan department. We have a new offer of $55,000 in the form of the installment loan. Your monthly payment is estimated to be $400 to talk to a funding advisor. Please choose option to if you wish not to be contacted again, please press nine once again press two to be connected with our team and press nine to be removed from our list.…” If I answer when they call, the message specifically states it’s Ridgegate Financial and states to press “9” to be removed from the no-call list. This doesn’t work because I still receive so many calls each day!

I am filing this complaint due to Luxe Research’s failure to send the correct products, refusal to acknowledge their own fulfillment error, inconsistent refund offers, and misleading/contradictory return and refund policies that conflict with what is advertised on their website. On November 6, 2025, I received my order from Luxe Research and immediately noticed that the products delivered were not the products I ordered. I ordered their “Color Changing Foundation,” but what arrived instead was two bottles labeled “Medium Spectrum Sunscreen Serum SPF 50.” The product labeling, directions, and formulation did not match the advertised item. I immediately contacted the company with photos clearly showing: The product I ordered, The product I received, and The reaction on my skin when applying the incorrect product. Despite sending this information repeatedly, Luxe Research has never once acknowledged that they sent the wrong products. Instead, every response from customer service ignored this central issue and attempted to redirect the conversation toward product dissatisfaction, application tips, or unrelated usage advice. Misleading and Conflicting Refund Policy Luxe Research advertises a “30-Day Money Back Guarantee” on their website, stating: “If you’re not thrilled, send it back and we’ll refund your purchase.” There is no mention of the guarantee being limited to unopened items, nor any exclusions for cases where the wrong product is sent. Despite this, the company repeatedly claimed they do not accept returns of opened items for “hygiene reasons” — a restriction not stated anywhere in their advertised guarantee. When I pointed this out, they continued to ignore both the guarantee language and the fact that the issue resulted from their shipping error. Inconsistent and Contradictory Refund Offers The company’s responses have also been inconsistent and contradictory: In one email, Luxe Research offered a 30% refund without requiring a return. In a later email, they lowered this offer to 15%, unless I paid for international return shipping to China. At no point did they acknowledge or address the fact that the products sent were incorrect. This inconsistency reflects a lack of transparency and raises concerns about unethical business practices. Unreasonable and Unlawful Return Requirements The company is demanding that I: Pay out-of-pocket for international return shipping, Ship the items to an address in Guangzhou, China, Cover the cost for returning products I did not order. This requirement was never disclosed at the time of purchase and contradicts basic consumer protection standards. When a seller sends the wrong merchandise, the customer is not responsible for return shipping, especially not internationally. I requested either: A full refund without requiring a return, or A prepaid return label for the incorrect items. Both requests were refused. Steps Already Taken I have: Reached out to Luxe Research more than 10 times, Provided multiple photos and explanations, Given the company several opportunities to resolve the issue, Clearly communicated the fulfillment error in multiple emails, Warned the company that I would contact the BBB if unresolved. Despite this, the company continues to deny responsibility, ignore the core issue, and provide contradictory refund terms. Desired Resolution I am requesting that Luxe Research: Issue a full refund for Order #LF15957 without requiring a return, OR Provide a prepaid domestic return label (not international) for the incorrect products. Given that the company sent the wrong merchandise and failed to honor the terms of their own 30-Day Money Back Guarantee, I believe this is the appropriate and reasonable resolution.

I ordered product from official kaws and they sent my information to this supposed courier however the courier emailed 2 days after i was supposed to get my shipment to tell me i need to pay an additional $475 for a restricted shipping label fee. Then when i asked was this a scam to both companies and asked for a refund from my initial order now no one will reply.

After providing daily share/stock recommendation (presumably to build trust) they rapidly move over to recommending you to use the SLOGEM platform. where they have a coin they are launching, STRO, which they think will raise several 100 % in the next few weeks. They then "lend" you 500USDT in the platform for you to trade with. They provide you with the signals for you to trade so that you may see how great the system is. Trades are done on SIGIL, CITADEL, ECHO, PHANTOM all of which if you research, are not on other reputable trading platforms. After showing you 200%+ returns in a week they say would it not be amazing if you had $5,000 in there, just imagine what you would be making. They claim all of their trades in SLOGEM are winners, and I have not seen a signal trade bad if done quickly as they say. They encourage you to deposit funds from your personal resources into SLOGEM to trade. They have us using Signal to communicate but no other way that I am aware of. The brains of the site claims to be Gregory Hawthorne and his trusty assistant, Sophia Marlowe, who sends out constant propaganda, offering her nurturing support to all newcomers, trying to get that money into "Slogem", the obscure exchange platform that is rumored to be funding the cash needed that is issued to investors as "proof" of their AI predictive investment system. they are right now trying to rush me into depositing cash as quickly as possible. I have been testing out what I believe are bots that go on all day long about the wonders of Athena, the virtual STRO coins, which I don't know if are legitimate or not. The whole thing is a well thought out, sophisticated scam. Timing is perfect, with the emergence of AI, and there are legitimate AI market predictors that these people claim to possess. I do not have a telephone number but have offered my cell number to them, asking them to call me but so far no calls.

The company uses multiple phone numbers. The recorded voice, different voice every time, tells me that I'm approved for a loan. I receive at least 10 of these calls per day.

MyIQ offers an IQ test. My son wanted to take one, so I paid the $1 for the test. They have a shady sign up that costs $29.99 per month. You don't know you're signing up for this when you click through. Six days later, I got notified that a payment for this amount was pending. I challenged the payment and was assured it would not go through. The payment did go through despite them promising to take it away. Several days later they continue to promise they will refund the payment but will only send bogus AI generated emails. Many many people report the same thing on Reddit, some saying that the payments are going through Cyprus and some are saying that they have taken larger sums every month.

Website consistently advertises discounts for shoes that are already rare and are selling for more on legitimate sneaker apps. I didn’t catch this because I thought the shoe I purchased was a recent release and thought was readily available everywhere. After my purchase, I realized it was more than 2 weeks in not receiving any shipping confirmations. This is rare these days especially with fast shipping times within the country. After trying to call their support number which turned out to be a fake voicemail or cell number that no one returns calls, I decided to email their support email address and no response days after. After my email, they sent a tracking number for a package coming out of Hong Kong. (I already knew at this point this was not going to go well as there are plenty of imitation shoes and products coming out of Hong Kong). I then called my bank since Arklen didn’t return my calls or didn’t email me back with my inquiry. So I got my money back from the bank and a week and a half later, I got a fake shoe shipped to me. You don’t have to be a professional to know how fake this shoe was, it was an imitation. To date, they are sending emails threatening legal action and trying to convince me to pay for the imitation shoes through a “secured payment link”. Not only do they not have a contact number, searching for Arklen phone number on google will list you a phone number tied to many domain websites, which are all probably selling the same fake/imitation products from out of the country. It is also funny that their “legal team” already emailed me even though they still haven't responded to my original email to them before my bank took action. Instagram needs to take Arklen USA page down so others don’t become victimized.

I ordered from this company two pairs of lounging pants and the company charged me for the two pairs. Then they proceeded to charge me three more times luckily my bank caught it, and the last three charges never went through.. the company then proceeded to tell me that my package was delivered in which it never was. They told me to go check the neighbors houses. My package was never delivered then I received something in the mail from some person that I don’t even know who they were and it was a pair of socks that were probably only .50 cents I asked for a full refund and told them that I’m gonna report them to the Better Business Bureau. They said my refund would be in my bank between 3 to 7 business days. It’s been over two weeks and I haven’t received a refund. I sent them another email today. They said my refund would be in my bank account within the next couple of days which I don’t believe is true. I see their post on Instagram and every time I leave a comment telling people not to order from them they erase my comment.

I have received a call everyday for weeks each time from a different number with approximately the same message, that I applied for a loan and they need just a few pieces of personal information to process it. I never applied for this loan. Below is the exact text of today's message "Hello, I hope you had a great weekend. This is. Stella calling from loan underwriting. My direct line is 855-909-0817.

I applied for a job with Claire Adams - when she contacted me she said it was a job for a product evaluator and that i would make $280.00 per day plus commission. It was with Revolve Clothing. Well after 8 hours of going back and forth learning the job I made money. But - when trying to collect my money I had to pay a $26.00 fee to get my money - then when it came time to Redeem my money - they added $300.00 to my account and then would not redeem my money because I had to come back the next day to do more evaluations- I went back the next day and started doing evaluations but after about 7 evaluations I came upon one that I had to pay for, which I do not have the money to pay for it - so consequently I can not get my money - I believe that this is a scam to just keep getting money from people and not get paid for the evaluations that you do. I told her from the beginning that I did not have any money and that I could not pay for anything and that I was not looking to pay for anything but she kept telling me that I would be getting paid daily and not to worry - well I don't want anyone else going through the hell I did. She has erased all of our conversations that we had on Telegram - a chat room - so i have no files

Multiple phone call per day from different phone numbers, wanting to give me a loan up to 50k. I have repeatedly asked to be removed from the list. I continue to get multiple calls from them daily!

Multiple calls a day. Two different people leave the exact same voicemail. They have left me 36 voicemails in under a month.
