I saw an ad on TikTok for the company CherryScoops, and it had shown a video where the person scoops beads from a bowl and each bead represents different items that you’d receive in your package. I went on the website and saw reviews that seemed to be good at the time. So I went and placed an order on 10/15/2025. I received my package I believe on 11/13/2025. I was surprised when I saw the size of the package—- it was smaller than expected. I figured maybe it was only partially delivered at first. Then when I opened the package, the items inside were of poor quality compared to what is shown in their videos. You will find a picture of the items received. Each persons’ “mystery scoops” are supposed to be different from one another. After I opened my package, I went on different social media platforms to see if anyone else had issues with the company. I saw a video on TikTok from a person who had posted a few days prior to me receiving my package in the mail.. their video had shown they received the same exact items as I did. So it was apparent that the company was not providing the services they were advertising. I went on their website after I received my package, and their reviews changed. Everyone that had recently received their packages had stated similar issues. Several people stated they received the same items I did. The issue is that their website now doesn’t show their reviews. I believe they must have disabled them from being viewed as I cannot see them anymore. I had sent an email to the one listed on the website stating I was disappointed and wanted my money back, and never received an email back. Their website either in the terms of service or under contact states they usually respond within 24 hours. It’s been 4 days. I believe the company is based in China. I am not sure though. I figured they were because it took about a month for the package to get here.

There is a fake website: Hollister USA. I tried to purchase items thinking this was the popular clothing store. Then I placed an order. The website is VERY sophisticated, from the clothing, logos, multiple tabs, "contact us" everything. Unfortunately, I set up an account with my personal info. Then I tried to pay for items with my credit card and the card had trouble loading. As my family and I travel often (we are military), this sometimes happens with American companies, so I wasn't overly concerned. Instead I used PayPal, which went through. But as soon as I received the email confirmation from PayPal, instead of saying I paid Hollister, it said I sent money to Edder Alan Carvallo Rodriguez. I immediately reached out to PayPal customer service but as the charge was "pending " they could do nothing. I emailed this Edder Alan Carvallo Rodriguez person (PayPal has an email attached to sellers) and told him to immediately cancel my order. He then somehow charged me MORE than the original charge listed and PayPal allowed it! But then he cancelled the order and returned the money. However, over the following days I started receiving other mystery charges. Someone created a VenMo account in my name, attached to my credit card account, and attempted multiple charges. This fake VenMo account under my name and credit card sent money to someone named Tamika Possy. My credit card originally sent this scammer via Venmo over $200. But when this fraudulent Venmo sent another $300 plus dollars, my credit card stopped payment. I have since spoken to my credit card, am disputing the claims, and they are sending me a new card. In total, between the scammers Hollister-USA/Edder and Venmo/Tamika, they attempted to get about $600 out of me, and they clearly are using my name, address, password, and credit card number to do illegal things. This is the website DO NOT USE, BEWARE!!!! https://www.hollister-usa.com/

Other - Cyperglow

This company is a scam and an absolute joke. First, it took over a month to get my initial order. Then I used the product for about a month with no results. Their AI customer service bit gave some suggestions on use to see more results so I implemented those tips. At the two month mark I still had zero results. According to their return policy “if you are not satisfied within the first 365 days you can return the product for a full refund”. So i initiated a return around the 3 month mark from my initial purchase. This is where they really show their true colors. I’ve been emailing them for 4 weeks now trying to get a refund. I’ve been offered 10%, 20%, 25%, 30%, but never the full amount. They even stated the 30% refund had been processed, but it was not. I send photo proof that the serum didn’t work for me and in every single email I said i would happily returned my unopened bottle and the mostly empty one if that was required. I’m 99% sure I’ve been emailed an AI bot though, because they act like I never offered either. Do your self a favor and stay far away.

I saw a Facebook ad for Portland Leather’s flash sale. I clicked on it, and it redirected me to a website that looked exactly like Portland Leather. I purchased 4 items. The shipping notification (from China) indicated items were delivered, but they were not. I emailed them, and the supposedly expedited another package. Again, I received a shipping notification of delivered, yet no package. Through email they asked me to take a 70% refund. I declined. They said they’d send 100% refund within 25 days. It never came. I contacted again and they claimed “Your refund application was approved, but due to force majeure, it didn't arrive on time. We apologize for this. We've reapplied for your refund and will process it as soon as possible, returning it to your original payment method.” They never respond directly to my emails- it always comes as a new email. They’ve been using [email protected]. I now know it’s been a scam all along.

Counterfeit Product - Endurox Prime

Endurox Prime was the name of the company/distributor of a supplement sold to me under false pretenses. Instagram was the conveyor these scam artists used to convey the promises of this supplement that some doctor had discovered which clinically showed wonderful results for reversing memory loss, clearing brain receptors of elements blocking their proper function with the key ingredient discovered being cedar honey and something else. The product, Neurocept, which I bought, along with a second order at a reduced price and a secondary product called Night Renew (which I was charged for but did NOT arrive with the Neurocept) were guaranteed with a 90 day money back refund if not satisfied. I've had no problem returning product with this understanding from any other vendors in the past so I tried their Vitamins. Once the product arrived there was a very poorly typed packing slip declaring the Neurocept and Night Renew were in the package. I called their phone number, 302-618-4094, to tell them that the Night Renew wasn't in the shipment and after a forever wait they agreed to reimburse my credit card that charge.. which they eventually did. later, before 60 days I called this same number asking for a packing slip return label to be sent to my email the representative gave me responses about trying it longer, give it more of a chance and such. I clearly told the rep. that I had looked closer for the ingredients told to us on their video and didn't see the key ingredients which alerted me we had a bogus product and that I had no intention of taking any more. I gave them my email address and asked one final time for a return address label to be sent there and the rep. said that they would. I never got a return label, once more with every following call -and text, they no longer acknowledged my account. I've been stone walled and the CartPanda people who handle their transactions are No Better!! They are never to be trusted by us either!!

Debt Collections - Debt Collections - Phishing Scam

A third party "civil claim processor" (332-455-0052) has been harassing my husband and then calling my number, very nasty and stressing the urgency of calling a second number/second party. They will not provide their name or name of company. They provide a number to call (866-791-9305) with an "internal" claim number. The person who answered at this number said they are from Vista Corp. I cannot find anything online that says this company is real. I would assume if there was a real claim they would send something in writing. I think I am pretty smart in knowing when we are being scammed, but who knows in this day and age without getting too far into the process?

I purchased some magnetic lashes. They claimed to be high quality and would stay on all day with easy application. I put one pair on and they immediately just fell off. They are barely magnetic and made very cheaply. I contacted the company first via phone and it went straight to voicemail. I emailed them and after 4 attempts I contacted my credit card company and then Elara contacted me back. Only after I contacted my credit card company. They are claiming that they are not returnable even though it states in their return policy that they are returnable if they are contacted within the first 14 day period. Their return policy also states that they can only be returned if they are not noticeably worn. I didn’t even open two of the packages. So I am turning it over to my credit card company because this is fraud. Don’t buy their lashes!!

I ordered 2 cigar advent calendars. They were the same product. They were supposed to be a cigar for each day. When received them, they were tiny cigar ornaments not more than 1\2 inch tall and 1\4 inch wide, made of plastic. Each calendar was $50.00. Even if I ordered ornaments, these are not worth $1.00 let alone $50.00 each. I tried to reach out to the email, website and phone number. The phone number is not in service, the email address just spins and never goes through. The Los Angeles address is a collective warehouse called Ready Spaces. I tried to respond to the email I received confirming my order and it comes back, address not found. The only thing legit about this company is that they actually sent something physical even though it is junk.

Investment - Crypto/Investment Scam

I am reporting an international cryptocurrency investment fraud conducted under the name Capium Ltd. LLC, which falsely claims to be a London-registered financial company. They provide victims with fake certificates and a fraudulent company registration number to appear legitimate. The scammers initiate contact through social media platforms, including Instagram and Facebook, and then move the conversation to Telegram. My assigned “financial advisors” identified themselves as Victoria Blanche and Elizabeth Parker and Roman Kazansky. They communicated in Russian, used high-pressure psychological manipulation, and promised extremely high returns on investment. The scheme involves directing victims to deposit funds into cryptocurrency wallets using legitimate exchanges such as Crypto.com, but the money is ultimately transferred to on-chain wallets controlled by the scammers. They operate a fake online trading platform under the name Capium Ltd. LLC, where they display falsified trading data and profits. This platform is entirely controlled by the scammers. The first investment you send through Zelle in the amount of 153$ ( in my case it was Roman Kazansky ph: 347-328-3173). That money appears on your platform account in within minutes. In few days Victoria Blanche ( the name is fake obviously ) turned it into 2500$ on amazon stocks . Some of the conversations they do through video call and they lead you step by step by sharing the screen on your phone. To build trust, they allow small withdrawals at the beginning. I was able to withdraw $175 and later $1,000, which made the operation seem legitimate. My initial deposits were $6,000, then another $6,000. Over time, I noticed red flags: • The trading platform link frequently went offline. • “Customer support” responded unprofessionally and in poor English. • The advisors became increasingly aggressive when questioned. • They pressured me to invest $35,000 to “activate a one-month profile.” • They demanded additional payments under false pretenses, such as $8,000 for insurance and $9,000 for Singapore bank fees, claiming these were required for withdrawals. When I tried to withdraw funds without their knowledge, the access was denied. They used a fake robotic phone verification system that intentionally malfunctioned to prevent the withdrawal process. My second deposit was made through MoneyGram to individuals in Georgia, whom they falsely claimed were verified agents of the platform. When I attempted to make further deposits, Crypto.com flagged the transaction as suspicious and blocked my account, which ultimately revealed that the entire operation was fraudulent. Another alarming detail: The advisor appeared on video calls, but the video was clearly manipulated. The face was blurry, did not blink, and used what appears to be deepfake technology to mimic speech in real time. Once I confronted them, the scammer became extremely aggressive, vulgar, harassing me with messages and memes. I blocked all communication. In total, I lost $18,000. I have screenshots, videos, transaction records, MoneyGram receipts, wallet addresses, and full chat logs that document the fraud in detail. I am submitting this report to help prevent others from being victimized by this large-scale international cryptocurrency scam.

My sister said she saw an online advertisement about a clothing business that was going out of business and having a big sale (henryrosenewyork.com). I purchased a few items (shown as very high-end) which were delivered a couple weeks later. Items were extremely low quality, not as pictured or advertised, and the sizing was completely off. I realized immediately that the items weren't as advertised and requested a full refund and information on where to return items for the advertised 14-day returns but did not hear back. I contacted my credit card company and told them about the incident. They requested I cancel my credit card (which I did) and opened a dispute with the vendor. A couple weeks later I heard from my credit card company that the dispute was resolved and was credited for the items. Vendor did not request items be returned. Mailing address of the package they sent me was 5215 S Boyle Ave, Vernon CA, 90058. I did a search on this address which revealed that it a large warehouse associated with mailing scams and shipments from China. My sister has a similar incident which she also reported though she heard back from 'Rose' and was asked to send $30+ to receive a return mailing label. Her credit card company required a card cancellation.

Moving - LOADRANS LLC

On Nov 2nd the movers from M&R Expedite Movers who partner with another moving company ( Costal Moving Services) I originally had talked to about moving from California to Washington State showed up to load my things into a semi as I was inform. I had already be charger twice by Costal to get my things loaded into a semi. M&R Expedite Movers showed up and informed me I had to get charger again in order to load my things. I had No other choice then to pay over there bad communication with Costal. I had to be out by that day. The foreman asked me when would I be arriving to Washington I said on Monday the 3rd and he said my things would be delivered on 4th of Nov and that I would be getting a call 24 hours before my delivering. I waited for them to call me and they never called me to inform me anything so I had to call them on the 4th. Only for them to tell me that they had return my payment to my credit card I used and I needed to pay again, at this point a man named Bruce in the line wasn't making any sense so when I got upset and hangup on him and called Graces who had emailed me as the person I was suppose to contact for any information. Graces informed me they had a glitch on their end and my payment was pending so they weren't going to deliver my things. This issue went on for days, I asked why no one called me to inform me until now. I told her that they had my credit card information so they could process it again ones their system stared working but that I needed my things deliver soon because I have an Autistic son who was having melt downs and not sleeping because I needed he's things to help him smooth. Those days and nights were a nightmare as a single mom of two toddlers. They informed me they weren't going to deliver my things until I made a payment again, finally after about a week the pending dropped and I could process the payment again, they made that process difficult again, it took them an hour to realize that their system was failing again and had me do the payment in different way that was fast and easy but they had me on the phone for an hour acting like I didn't know how to do the payment. I asked them why they made it so difficult after I had told them many times they had the credit card information the whole time and they blame it on the system and their Internet. After that there was a final payment to be made on the day of delivery $3,385.96 and I was told I could use Zelle to make the payment and my things could take from 5 to 12 days to be deliver of course I was upset again. I did get a call from the driver a few days later telling me my things would arrive Nov 12 between 12- 1pm another lie. Then they try charging me another $1000 because they said they had to move my things to another truck, which was unnecessary which after getting me upset again they said they would "wave" the fee for me. M&R truck arrived at 6:40pm. When I talked to the driver about the final payment he said Zelle was only going to allow me to $1000 so I had to make two different Zelle transactions of $1000 dollar each into what seem as a personal account and not a business and come up with 1,385.96 late at night in cash because if not! he wouldn't unload my things and would charge more if he had to come back the next day. I told him I was told more than once I could make my payment by Zelle by Costal and M&R and he said he always had this issue and informed M&R but they keep telling customer they can pay with Zelle. To me it was another lie they told me, they shouldn't give this option as a payment if it's a continue issue. They finally started unloading my things but to go through all those days with stress and see how unprofessional this moving company is was more frustrating, my boxes, furniture and other items came damage and missing. They also said they would assemble anything that needed to be assemble (TV's and beds) and that wasn't done. This company made my move so hard, stressful and kept deceiving me about money and how to make a simple payment into a big issue. I wouldn't want another single mother to go through this.

Employment

I received a text message from phone number (720) 320-9618 on a Sunday Night saying it was a talent acquisition specialist: "Hi I’m Ms. Donna Vilchis, Talent Acquisition Specialist at SOC Prime. We’ve reviewed your resume and have forwarded it to our Management Team for potential next steps. Are you available and interested in proceeding with an interview? Please reply YES if you'd like to learn more about the position and interview process." I went on the Teams chat and had a chat interview with Spencer Bruington. I answered general questions about my skills and the one thing that got me to looking further into this company is they asked me to be online the next day at 8:30am prompt, they wanted me to give them my Bank Name, and they had multiple positions available and asked which one I would want. (If I supposedly applied, it should have been for a specific position).

Home Improvement

This business is a scam. Their phone # changes a lot. Got through to manager who wouldn't give their last name "Macel" she explains the reason the receipt left by "Dave" no last name read ASAP Home Service and not Bio Home was because they recently merged. FYI there is no searchable company "ASAP Home Services" but a company "ASAP Home Solutions" which bears the same logo. That business is searchable but with a false business address in RI. As far as I can tell they are a scam company as well. Technicians arrived in the dark, slopped tar on top of the chimney flashing and filled a coulple of cracks inside the chmney. The customer asked for the chimney to be reflashed and sealed and repointed. We had an inspection done the following day. they said any trained technician would have immediately know the chimney was not stable and it needed to be taken down. These people were just scammers.My son and daughter were duped.

This person was advertising that she was an insurance agent and can get the lowest rate. She did open me up a policy with progressive but paid them with a checking account. Which she charged me $609 to start the policy. A few that’s later the policy was canceled because the funds was not available in the checking account when progressive tried to pull the money. I immediately called progressive and they told me when she started the policy the payment was $212.00 which she over charged me. She charged me $609 to open up the policy which I only had for 2-3 days because payment was never made.

I placed an order with this company for clothes from a clothing boutique that appeared to be in the US, they provided with a "tracking website" that soared to show my order was delivered. They even responded to my emails sand said they used a private shipping company (but none of the known US delivery) abd would not proceed a name or contact info. Claimed to have "resent" the items and they supposedly were packed, shipped and delivered from China in 5 days which once again did not happen. Their email address is no longer good and the place to view my order they sent is no longer good as well. Clearly a scam do not use!

Online Purchase - Jegs

They keep listing hoods in stock to ship within 24 hrs. Well im almost a mont from getting one still and have had to order 4 different ones different brands because they keep getting sold out. I have personally ordered one last Thursday the 13th on the phone should have shipped that afternoon and its Saturday now still showing online that last hood i bought is in stock but mine doesn't ship out until the 21st if available. Thats the same time the 1200$ hood would have been available. This is absolutely ridiculous. They cost me 2000$ for the paint booth on a Saturday after the first hood was supposed to arrive. I had to drive 2 hrs to pick it up to only find out it wasn't even the right part number. Im sitting here disabled low income stressed to the limits because saving for 1200$ part is very hard and now i dont have it or that much money now. Had to pay for a day of nothing in a paint booth. This needs looked into because its a ongoing issue overselling there inventory. People shouldn't have to wait ten more days to get processed and return to buy something somewhere else. I will never do business with them again. This is a scam.
