Online Purchase - https://www.ttrugreen.com/

I ordered from https://www.ttrugreen.com/ on Nov 5th. After placing order on website, I clicked to check order status and received a message that no order was placed. Later, I received an email with an order number but the email did list the company name nor did it list the cost of transaction. Only the first name of a person was listed. Per review of bank records, another business name was listed for the transaction. It did not include the name of the business. A few days later after order was placed, I received a tracking number. For the past 3 weeks, I have been tracking item, however, it provided not much info. Finally on Dec 3rd, I see that the status is changed to deliver but I never received package. I attempted to email company but the email listed on the website is not valid.

I purchased a Dolly Parton “elf on the shelf” on September 9th from the website using PayPal. The charge is listed as coming from AOSGIRLSHOP. I received tracking information indicating that the package was in transit until October 9th, when it appeared to be held up in Alaska with no further movement. I contacted Customer Support and was told a new item would be sent. I have still received no new item and when I contacted again for an update I was told “I understand the mood” and advised that they were expediting shipping and that it would take a day or 2 for an update. I have contacted again requesting a refund but it seems to be a scam.

I was looking for help to set up my new HP laptop to my printer. I thought I was connected to the HP web site chat, and was advised a tech would call me but I was actually contacted by Candler Care LLC. I gave this company access to my computer, they advised me my internet connection was compromised, that they found 43 foreign IP addresses and numerous trojan viruses on my laptop. I had some reservations, they convinced me I had to fix these as it was why the drivers weren’t installing. After changing the cartridge, more paper, opening and closing panels the printer worked. They advised me it would cost $199, and said I needed to buy one of their protection plans which I declined. I used PayPal just in case it was a scam. Later that day I checked with my son an IT Professional and found out there was a BBB file on Chandler Care LLC and that they were not actually affiliated with HP.

Norrloom promised a 'going out of business' sale of "icelandic" style sweaters, with photographs of a sweet old lady knitting in her workshop. Same pictures used on Noemi Rose Boutique. I received one email message about 'tracking my package', but the order number (1309) 'Did not exist' when I tried to follow up. At some point, I saw a link to China in one of the website code strings and realized this was a scam. In retrospect, scam sites rated Norrloom at 1% confidence, two days after I'd made the order--but I saw this several weeks after I made the order on October 21, 2025.

I recieved a laughable piece of garbage. There aren't even different colored threads. The stripes are air brushed on. I have asked for a return label 5 times, and the keep refusing to send it to me. The last email said: Due to our warehouse logistics and inventory management, the return must be processed at our overseas facility. This ensures that the product can be properly handled and is not resold. Please note that there will be additional shipping costs and customs duties associated with the return. Given the circumstances, we can offer you a refund of up to 15% of the purchase price to compensate for the inconvenience. This way, you can keep the items without having to return them. Please let me know if this option is right for you, and I will process it immediately. Your satisfaction is important to us, and we want to ensure you have a positive experience with our brand.

I saw the nordic/viking clothing they were selling on TikTok and visited their actual website, Cazzylook.com. They had a big sale going on at the time everything $5. I thought this was a US company because the shipping method said USPS priority mail. However, when I received a tracking number it took me to an international shipping tracker. I am still not sure what country they are actually located in. I decided to wait for the items anyway because I really wanted the clothes. 30 days passed and i kept checking the tracker it said the package finally arrived in my city and was delivered, but I never recieived the items. I contacted support on their website through email and they keep giving me the run around saying their courier, whoever that is, said its delivered. Telling me they will give me a percentage of the refund back, first 60, now 90, although I doubt they intend to give me anything.

My 74 yr. old sister thought she was purchasing a 12 wk. old labrador retriever from Everhome Labradors. She only communicated with the breeder via Facebook Messenger, and was never given a physical address or direct phone number to reach the breeder, Terrie Griffin. She paid $700. to a third party (whom she was told was the breeder's accountant) via Zelle to [email protected]. (They would not accept a credit card, & suggeted she use gift cards--a huge red flag.) Again, she had no name, address, or phone number for the "accountant." After the "sale," she was told to pay an additional $500. for a crate in which to transport the puppy, which she did, again via Zelle. On the day the puppy was to arrive, she was asked for another $750. for "insurance"--at which time I suggested she contact her banker @ USAA, who confirmed that it sounded like a scam.

I made a purchase from Willows Boutique after seeing an ad on Facebook. The site seemed legitimate with images, descriptions, indication that items came from California. I saw no red flags until I made the purchase and received my items. Items were shipped and I received confirmation of shipping with a tracking number. The tracking could only be done through their site and was not a UPS/DHL/USPS/FedEx or other shipper. I received the items within a week (also, reasonable shipping timeframe). Items however were cheaply made, poor quality, see-through material - awful! I attempted to make a return of the items to which I sent photos of the items to their [email protected] email. They responded within a day indicating the address the items should be shipped to - China and that I would receive my refund in 3-5 business days once the items were received. Well, 6 months later after multiple email exchanges with the company and USPS unable to deliver the items, the website and email no longer exist. I never received my money and the items I returned are somewhere in USPS tracking land with an "Alert" status indicating "Arrived at Mail Recovery Center". My credit card company won't dispute the charge because nowhere in my communication with the company do they confirm/use language indicating the amount to be refunded or the card number they would issue the refund to. I went on Reddit to learn of others similar/same experiences - too late unfortunately.

Always around lunch, after work, even after 8 pm which is a FTC crime for unsolicited robocalls. Check the official ridgeway financial website and you will see they have a issue with this as well. They do not send robocalls. The call is a recording of a white woman's voice talking about a advance free 50,000$ loan with no interest or something like that. Pure junk. This has been messing with my work and personal life for at least 5 months, every single day. They did take a week long break in september but just went back to it.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase

Ordered the product on November 10. Waited without even a tracking number until last week. Emailed their customer support, the answer sounded good. They told me the product was in Las Vegas and would be delivered the next day. Then I get an email with the tracking number, it shows the product in Georgia. No where close to Nevada, no chance it will arrive the next day. I emailed them the screen shot and asked for a refund. I checked the tracking number again the next day, it shows the product was sent back to them. Checked it again this morning and now the number does not exist. I have emailed several times asking for a refund. Now I get no answer what so ever. All I wanted was a refund.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

The merchandise advertised is a plush 3 dimensional Highland Cow figure tree skirt that attach's to the bottom of the tree. What we received was a round 2 dimensional piece of cloth with 5 cow picture's. The day we received the product, I went directly to their website and there was no phone number. You could only contact them through either a support ticket (which I did) or to email them (which I did). I emailed them immediately because we wanted to return the product for a full refund since it was not what was advertised. We had no response for the company until 5 days later. Which pushed us to 2 days per their website of their 7 day return policy. On day 5 the response that I received from the company was that there could be a 20% variation in what was ordered, and for our inconvenience they would give us a discount on our next order. On their website it states you have 7 days to return it, but on day 5 it was not even an option. After taking a closer look at the pictures advertised, they appear to be AI generated, in my opinion they do not even exist. We posted 4 , one star reviews on their website, yet it still shows over 12,000 5 star reviews with nothing less then 4 . We even went to our bank to have the charges reversed, but since the product was not returned (which we have no way of returning it, since we were not given that option) there was nothimg our bank could do. It's worth mentioning that their address tachyonext Inc. Sounds eerily similar to "attack you next". I do this in hopes of preventing anyone else from being scammed as we were.

Other - Fence Install Scam

BUYER BEWARE - MCFARLIN FENCING installed a fence for us in September. Paid an extra $1,000 for shadowbox design. My husband gave Jacob the check without looking at the work. Very expensive mistake. Jacob is definitely NOT responsive to calls and texts after the job (unlike before the job). I found him at a neighbor's house and took him around showing him at least 9 problems. His only response that day, and days since, was "I don't know how to fix it." Appears very young and inexperienced (with shadowbox in particular), very unprofessional, obviously not concerned with the importance of his business reputation. (When I contacted a local more reputable fence company and told them the story, the guy responded with "Was it McFarlin?" He said they have had numerous calls.) Take a look at the photos - shoddy work, damaged pickets. Jacob obviously had no idea what he was doing, but instead of owning up to it he took the check and ran. BUYER BEWARE Update: I also later found a post from an older couple with a similar experience with McFarlin: I noticed Mr McFarlin has a 5 rating on his Facebook page. Not so much from here. We hired him to replace our wooden fence. During the process, a rain storm came up and the crew continued to work in the rain making deep ruts in the work area. When we asked him if he was coming back after it dried up to fix that area, the response was, we are fence builders not landscapers. Then he left concrete footers and bricks in the neighbor’s yard. Mr McFarlin does not have a voice mail set up to leave a message. He has been notified by text about the concrete being left in the neighbor’s yard. We have been unable to speak with him or get a response from the text message. My husband and I have major health issues and unable to pick up the concrete. I would rate this job a 2. Mr McFarlin is not willing to make things right. Be satisfied before he leaves because you will never see him again. THAT CUSTOMER HIT THE NAIL ON THE HEAD WITH HIS SUMMATION - be satisfied before he leaves because you will never see him again! NOTE: It is only allowing me to upload one photo, but there are plenty more!

Phishing - Uber Impostor

I'm an Uber Eats driver. I got a call from someone claiming to be with Uber trying to resolve a claim against me for the week prior for missing items from a delivery. Since the claim existed I didn't think anything was wrong. I am assuming the scammer is the one that made the claim in the first place since they had knowledge about it. They had me cancel the order I was on, which they knew what it was so I am assuming that it was also an order they placed. At this point they switched phones or something and called me on a different number (1 (415) 463-7199). They told me that they were going to pay me for the missed time I was going to have with them of about half an hour. They then asked me to verify it was me by telling them the amount of trips I did the last two weeks, what my points earned were, and the amounts I made over the last two weeks. Then they went in to how to get paid for the time it was going to take by adding a debit card to my account, explaining that it was going to replace my current card so they could add the payment they were going to give me back into my account. Then to verify it was me that was working I would have to send the amount of money i had made over the last two weeks to the card then they would add the payment back to it and I would get the new card in the mail. I got a little suspicious at this point and sent my earnings to another account I use to pay bills, so they didn't get everything. When I explained I had already sent my earnings elsewhere they had me use the $150.00 back up balance that is an Uber program which is basically like a small loan you pay back right away, then send that to them. I still wasn't sure at this point but didn't want to lose my ability to drive for Uber so went along and sent the $150.00. They said they would call me back the next day after I made more money to be able to send the amounts to prove it was me driving and then hung up. The I did what I should have done from the beginning and asked Uber's help line if this was a legitimate call from them and that's when they told me it was probably a phishing scam.

I responded to an add selling Whiskey Advent Calenders. They show real single shots in their advert making it appear you will be able to drink a different whiskey every day. The advertisement uses misleading language to make it sound like they are selling an advent calender of drinkable whiskies, such as "a new taste adventure every day," "elevate your nights with bold new flavors", " drinkable bottles double as ornaments", "bottles are shatterproof", " more than just drinks, it is a journey of flavor." They are selling many different kinds- whiskies, beer, soda. The package took just over a month to arrive. I received a package 7"x 10"x 1" . It is filled with tiny, little plastic pictures of whiskey bottles. It was in a box from China. The name on the package is Glicheal Lichael. The number and address are false. The picture online was altered in comparison. The many reviews are also fake.
