Tried to buy an ugly Christmas sweater from this website. Payment went through no problem on PayPal. Then a couple weeks went by and I still hadn’t received tracking or any update on my package. I reached out multiple times through their “customer service” email and got nothing back. I went to look and see if (https://www.korsina.com) was a scam or not and found multiple accounts online claiming it was a scam and showing proof that they either didn’t receive their purchases or the product received was absolutely fake. I reached out through PayPal and asked for a refund. I explained my situation and the ways I tried to resolve it and PayPal gave me a full refund same day.

Online Purchase - Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

I called attempting to switch my health plan from Anthem Blue Cross/ Blue Shield to Humana. Agent told me he could get me a better plan than Humana and said that it would cost me $231.83 per month and I agreed to that. What he did not tell me was that they were not an insurance agency and were just a discount Medical program. He led me to believe the whole time that I was dealing with Humana. When I went to use it, it turns out it wasn't insurance but just a discount plan that neither doctor I went to accepted. The agent told me on the phone that it was a PPO and was accepted everywhere. I called back and canceled three days later after trying to use it and they told me they would refund the money in the order it was received. That was 3 months ago. So far they have deducted that amount two more times and still tell me the same thing. Now, when I call them, they just disconnect the phone call. I told them when I canceled they are not authorized to deduct any more payments out of my bank account but they still deduct them. I have complained about this business to the Better Business Bureau once before and nothing has come of it. They go by the name Elite Discount Medical, Synergy Insurance Affiliates and Elite Discount Medical. They are also a member of the Better Business Bureau.

Business Name: QVR Vendors Order Number: 0000023311 Customer Name: Alexandra Theophile Payment Method: Cash App Card Issue: Non-delivery of goods / fraudulent transaction Complaint Statement: I placed an order with QVR Vendors, order number 0000023311, under the name Alexandra Theophile. Payment was completed using my Cash App card. On December 9, 2025, the seller created a USPS shipping label showing: “Shipping Label Created, USPS Awaiting Item – SUWANEE, GA 30024.” As of today, the package has never been tendered to USPS, and tracking has not updated for over one full week. USPS has confirmed they are still awaiting the item, meaning the seller never shipped the product. I contacted the merchant multiple times requesting either shipment confirmation or a refund. Instead of issuing a refund, the seller asked me to “wait more days,” which mirrors complaints made by other consumers and appears to be a pattern of deceptive behavior. I was also offered discounts instead of a refund, which I refused. Since the item was never shipped, and the merchant continues to delay without proof of shipment, I believe this constitutes failure to deliver goods and potential fraud. I am requesting a full refund and that this business be investigated to prevent further consumers from being harmed.

On December 15th I received a Shipment notification via email with a tracking number. When I attempt to look up tracking via the tracking number that was provided I receive an error. When I attempt to get on the snugglewarm.com website the site does not come up. After a couple of days I saw the same ad on social media that got my attention. I can only get to the website via social media. I can not get to the website through a stand alone web browser. Once I was able to get to the website via social media I inputted both my order number and tracking number for a status update. I received an error with both numbers claiming that the order number and the tracking number do not exist. I sent an email to the [email protected] email address and have not heard back. I am convinced that this 'company' is a scam that takes people's money and does not provide the product.

The sweater that arrived not not the same at all...it was 100% polyester, parts were sewn together (turtle neck, sleeves, cuffs, hem)...the neck was small and would not stretch and my wife could not put her head through the neck... They boldly claim easy refund within 30 days...however, fine prints says that no sale item is refundable...and yet every item on their site is on sale. They offered to send me another sweater free if I would pay shipping (seems the items come from somewhere in Aisa)...OR...30% off my next purchase.

I so believe when Alexandra called she said she got my name and number from either indeed or and Job platform. I would be shipping packages and sometimes pick up and drop off. The base salary was 4400 with bonuses. then 100 dollar bonus if I finished my paperwork the same day. which I did. Mind you I did look up this "business" and couldn't find it on bbb but I believe I was not using the system the right way. so I thought all was good. Signed contract with guidelines on how to do the job. Next day they send me a w4 form to fill out. Which I did. I feel like I asked all the right questions ahead of time asked how long the been in business and then I asked how could I know I would get paid in 30 days after shipping the packages? did not get a response to that one. Needless to say they have all my personal information now because I filled out that w-4 form. what to do now? just want to warn others. I just seen all these scam reviews the day after signing the w4 form. Im scared to move forward after reading all this. And I have communicated with them on the phone as well

Placed an order 3 weeks ago. Was told max shipping time was 7 days. Never heard back from them after I placed the order (tracking through Shop still says “waiting for details”). Have tried to reach out to them SEVERAL times (website, email, phone, socials) and have not heard ONE word. Should have researched more diligently before hand because so many other people have reported the exact same issues.

Hair Batana scammed me out of my money a year ago, and, sadly, I'm still bothered by it.

I purchased this e bike online from a website that represents itself as the official Ridstar E Bike site. I placed the order on December 1, and the website stated shipping would take 3 to 5 business days. That timeline has not been met. There is no functional customer service phone support. The only number provided routes to an overseas line that leaves you on hold with music and no assistance. I contacted the company via email and the communication has been unacceptable. After multiple exchanges, I was told their logistics team was “looking into it.” I was then advised that FedEx lost the shipment, which is false, as FedEx confirmed they never received the package. When I questioned this, I was told the bike needed to be restocked and that a replacement would be sent once inventory was available, despite the fact that my order was placed weeks ago. When I asked to speak with a manager, no one was ever provided. Instead, I repeatedly received vague responses such as “don’t worry,” with no resolution, no timeline, and no accountability. This situation reflects misleading shipping information, poor communication, and a complete lack of customer support. I am requesting immediate resolution.

Counterfeit Product

Failure to Provide Promised Registration Documents I purchased a toy poodle from a business operating as Fancy Toy Poodles. At the time of purchase, I signed a document stating that I would receive the dog’s registration paperwork within 90 days. That time frame has now passed, and I have not received any registration documents. Since the purchase, the business has made no meaningful attempts to follow up or communicate with me regarding the status of the paperwork. The only communication I received was several months ago, when a young woman associated with the business stated that registration documents are “processed on Saturdays.” No further explanation, timeline, or documentation was provided. Despite multiple months passing beyond the agreed 90-day period, I have not received the promised registration, nor have I been contacted with updates, delays, or a resolution plan. This experience raises concerns about misrepresentation and lack of transparency. Potential buyers should be cautious, obtain all registration documents at the time of purchase, and verify breeder legitimacy and registration processes before completing a transaction.

Then I was transferred to Quantum Financial services who would be able to penalize those creditors for violation FCRA Act and help me get rid of those accounts (6 were initially identified, later reduced to 5) for a whopping fee of $15,980. They would then charge $12,990 on one account;$2990 on the other to cover the fees if I agreed to the plan. I asked for something in writing before committing and would contact them back. I never committed but the documentation I received said, thank you for enrolling. I was tricked into giving them some information I shouldn't have, I had gotten excited about getting rid of high interest rate accounts. I'm writing them a letter with some of my concerns before "committing". They have my SS number. and birth day. They are waiting to hear back from me but I closed some of my accounts and locked others in the interim. I was only able to upload one of the documents, there were two letters.

There is a possible scam student loan called EdFinancial on my credit account. I finished my college courses in December 2020, and apparently I'm being forced to come up with $20,000 within 65 days of December 12th, 2025. I never recieved any letter mail prior to this year about owing money on college courses I finished 5 years ago. Not only that, they have reduce my credit score greatly back earlier this year randomly. I've been receiving calls from scam numbers that change all the time this year. Please help me with getting this problem fixed. What would the next step would be? Thanks for your help.
