CryptoCurrency - CryptoCurrency Scam

I was contacted by Lexor financial to invest in cryptocurrency. They told me I could start training for $250 so I got started but all they did was tell me what to buy and no other info. After several days of this I noticed they were taking commissions on my buys. Then there was a 2week lull in getting calls from them and then I got a call from Lexor telling me they would stop training me due to my lack of interest, but I noticed while I was online with the software they provided that my buys hade generated $ 50973.00 I was instructed by my instructor Anna how to put these funds in a trust wallet then over a month of trying to figure out how to transfer the funds from trust wallet and into my bank account. They told me to use kraken but as I found out kraken does not honor USD.Z which is the crypto they told me to buy. They knew I would have to pay 10% of to total amount of the transfer as a payment for the transfer so that monitor my account and steal my information and go into my wallet and take the money. They used insider trading to steal my money but it was never mine. They need to be stopped before they can do this to others.

Online Purchase - https://spiror.coshop

I purchased a tire changer / rim balancer combo from Spiror .co on what looks like a legit website, offered free shipping , a discount , tracking , etc. Price admittedly was too good to be true, looking back , there was no tax figured in....shipping weight of 500lbs. , free ? After 4 days with no updates , I sent company an e-mail , not deliverable , website does not exist... you can find it online if you search tire machine then add spiror to it , its still up and running , you can place your order as i did , but then you cannot reach them. after digging further, the companys provided address is a rundown house in Dearborn Heights M.I. , the provided phone # is to a 7-eleven in Spokane W.A. that just gives a landline fax machine tone after 20 odd rings. This company also claims to sell utility sheds , lawn care equipment etc. i had my bank dispute the charge , add cancel my card, but this scammer has now has my name , address, phone #, and credit card info, though as of this filing , no further charges seem to have been attempted before i cancelled card.

Credit Cards - Spam calls

I get 12 to 15 calls a day from a variety of phone numbers offering personal loans, or debt consolidation. Or settle my taxes with various callback numbers all the same type messages using different contact names as point of contact two calls per hour most days. I’ve answered and pressed nine to be deleted. I’ve tried blocking dozens of the numbers that are calling from but they call from a different number every time. It has filled my voicemail box and every time I empty my voicemail they call and fill it back up. Even with my phone on do not disturb and unknown callers sent straight to voicemail, it still lights up my phone notifies me and create a voicemail. I see AT&T has a service you can pay for as an application to stop it. I don’t feel like I should have to pay to stop a spammer from calling me. The phone numbers they give for me to call back are: 833-487-2724; 833-510-1065, 888-370-9375, 833-588-3806. This has been going on for more than 2 months now. Please help! It’s making my phone voicemail unusable for my family and friends. The more I delete the calls and voicemails the more they call.

Online Purchase - Marayen

I came across an add for clothing from a website called Marayen. The ad said shipped in 2 days, made in the USA, shipping from Texas. That was over a month ago. I followed the tracking number provided. It supposedly was shipping from China not Texas. I immediately demanded a cancellation and refund. They said it was too late. Eventually their tracking showed “delivered 11/29” however it was only the 28th when it said this. I’ve been going back and forth with them now for weeks. They offered to resend the merchandise expedited shipping. I declined. They offered 60% refund since their tracking says delivered. I declined. The latest offer is 90% refund since their tracking says delivered. I declined. I do not believe they will follow through with any refund. I finally after spending hours researching found information that shows the whole tracking process is a scam. The company has multiple complaints.

Three different people Melanie Johnson from Facebook Market Place and said owner Jane Olivor texting to me and a man that didn't identify himself from New York called me trying to get people to put down a security deposit on a his rental before they even get to see the property saying that it fully refundable. They say once you put the security deposit down then they will schedule a showing. This is the text that they sent me trying to get me to do this. "What do you mean?No, I'm not confirming anything. I Just got off the phone with a friend that is a agent and your not the owner of said property. Who told this lie?A agent that looked on the county records of ownership for said property. I told you before that I bought this property a few days ago and advertised it for rent.Also why would you want me to give you a security deposit on property that I haven't even seen in person?To finalize your house booking, the security deposit must be completed. Since I receive multiple inquiries, submitting the deposit guarantees that the unit will be reserved for you. If you visit the property and decide it’s not the right fit, your deposit will be fully refunded.How much is the deposit then?In our society, security deposits are usually taken from $1000. Since you will be confirming the property by paying the security deposit online, I will allocate it to you for only $500, giving you a 50% discount.Many more people are inquiring about renting my property. I am responding to them so I cannot take your call right now. However, if you confirm the property by paying a security deposit, we will talk on the call and be able to schedule a time to meet in person.Do you have Chime?What's wrong with you not answering?Are you afraid to pay a $500 security deposit? You can put down a little less and then pay the full security when we meet in person.What happened? Answer me.Are you really interested in my property, yes or no? I don't need to put a security deposit because I haven't seen the property yet. To finalize your house booking, the security deposit must be completed. Since I receive multiple inquiries, submitting the deposit guarantees that the unit will be reserved for you. If you visit the property and decide it’s not the right fit, your deposit will be fully refunded.Do you have a chime?No, that's not how it works. I've already talked to two of friends that are realtors and they say this whole thing is not right. No one puts a security deposit down before getting to view the property and no one uses Chime for any transactions.Don't worry, if you don't like my property after personally inspecting it, all your expenses will be refunded.No, that is not how it works I have received multiple inquiries due to the demand for answers and all are asking me for permission to personally inspect my property.It's very difficult for me to meet everyone in person and show them around the property.However, if you confirm the booking of the property by making a small advance, I will hold it for you and we will meet in person today and hand over the keys to my property to you."

Counterfeit Product - ACYRIL/ SHEREM

I ordered 4 christmas ornaments, which were advertised as 3D animals in an acorn, pictures on the site showed them as fairly large. What I got was 4 pieces of plastic, about 3 1/2" with a picture of the animal on it. I immediately emailed and asked what to do for a refund. The package had this address on their shipping label: SHIPPING DEPT 2407 W NORTH AVE, MELROSE PARK, IL 60160 There is absolutely nothing like what was advertised or shown. The response to my email was: * Dear customer, We are glad you got the item but sincerely sorry for the problem. According to our Return & Exchange Policy, we accept returns and exchanges within 30 days from the date of package reception and if the products are in new, unused condition with the original packaging. If you want to send the order back for exchange or refund, the return shipping fee needs to be afforded by yourself. Considering the high shipping fee to return it all the way back to our warehouse (about return shipping fee is $50-$80), will it be possible to offer a $8.00 refund to you as a way to make up for this? If you insist on returning back, please send it to the following address: Address: No.7, Songgang Tianyang 2nd Road ,1st floor, Songgang Subdistrict, Baoan District, Shenzhen, Guangdong Province, China Zip code: 518105 Contact: SIbei Xiao Phone No.:13692256065 Please put order No. with specifications within the package back to us. And please offer us the tracking NO. of the parcel after you send it back, after we can get the items back, we will arrange the refund to your account as soon as possible. Have a nice day! ************************************************************************************************ Their refund policy doesn't mention returning items to China. It doesn't have anything on it about China. I asked why it could not be returned to Melrose Park Illinois, as that is where it was shipped from to me, but never received an answer, just a repeat answer of the same, but offering $15. I called the support number on the Sherum site, talked to them about the same issue. They just repeated this same rhetoric. I told them I was going to report their business. Then I received another email today, from [email protected] with the same thing, as well as a phone call! The person said the same thing again. I ordered these because my 89-year-old mother saw the 3D pictures and wanted me to order them for her. She paid me the money, which is a lot for her, and I order them. And here we are...I can't get them to refund the money for the dollar pieces of plastic they scammed from us. I've attached pictures from their site as well as pictures of what I actually got. I don't want to pay and lose another $20-$30 to get these pieces of plastic back to China in the hopes that they might actually refund the $86.97.

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.

Was exact same scenario as I just read from man's report. I'm not even sure I remember how I was first contacted or saw advertisement (was phishing on text msg or add in an email). No, was asked for initial investment to find out HOW to make $ online like the young people shown in advertisement I believe was appx $75 along with providing email and phone number information. Was contacted by email to return call to see if I was a good fit for Program. Talked to 3 different people through approval peoscess to check if personal needs, character and determination would work well within thier training process. Once accepted had to invest another $7500 for traini ng and blueprint of setting up Drop Shipping Business. After providing credit card information had me sign and initial contract that had a 3 day grace period to cancel if chose to (told Lynn Nolte I was computer illiterate so didn't think i had skills to run such a business, assured me I would receive all training needed, walked through using computer by one of thier trainers, each having specific expertise. Also told her 3 days wasn't enough time for me to check into contract.) She immediately set up appointments with 2 other gentlemen from company to start my training. They did contact me at appointed time for training, first thing set up was a remote access program "Chrome Remote Desktop" to my computer so they could help my learn how to run my own business. They required me to have at least 3 or 4 credit cards to have access to set up funds should I need it. That's when I even called Lynn with apprehensions and concerns of this being scam because I provided them with detailed financial information (how stupid of me! I knew better!). Trainer called me right away, saying that Lynn contacted him about some misconceptions to assure me wasn't scam and I still felt comfortable going forward. Later also put in stipulations about how many times I needed to update website and provide discount ads. had to initial that agreement which said if I didn't check website 3 times week they could find me in violation of agreement. This is where I started to feel hair on back of head stand and tell me "This is BAD / WRONG." But being embarrassed I didn't act right away. Still continued to disreguard Security Alerts ?? from LifeLock and Banks because I DID apply and was approved of new Credit Cards.

Now says: “We submitted a prepaid label request for your return through our carrier portal, however, we were notified that the label was not approved by the state of origin of your order. When a product needs to be returned to an international facility — like our main manufacturing warehouse — the carriers and the state apply additional routing checks. In this case, the return route was not approved due to updated CO2 emission regulations that USPS, UPS, and other carriers recently enforced for international returns. This means that when a package is being shipped back to a foreign factory, the carriers are required by state guidelines to charge an emission-based fee at the time of shipment. Because of this regulation, the prepaid label we attempted to issue was automatically rejected — not by us — but by the state/carrier system. We genuinely tried to activate it and complete the process for you, but we are obligated to follow the state and carrier restrictions, and we cannot override these rules.“ Unable to return without paying $40 CO2 emission clearance, plus our own shipping to China.

Online Purchase - Direction Media

The hook is I could enter into this money making website with no cost. It would be simple watch some videos and get paid. There was a lot of pressure to go up levels which cost money paid with bitcoin. The pressure increased with the one person communicating with me. The company discounted the amount to go higher and was very tempting more money I could earn each day. I decided to give more money to the company so I could earn more. I was happy with my decision and the increase in pay was good. Then I wanted withdraw my earned money and needed help from my manager. Suddenly she was not responding to my messages which seemed strange. She had always been available to help. Then the website disappeared and I was unable to get my money no manager no website. I lost money nothing like many but for me it was a lot.

Online Purchase - Opulineza

I ordered items online. They never showed up. I contacted the company. They said they were resending the order. The second order never showed up. I told them I wanted a refund. First, they asked me if they could keep part of the money because they were a small business. I said no. They said it could take a couple of weeks to get a refund. The refund never came and I reminded them. Then they send me a scree shot of a refund to be issued in 7-10 days. That was on November 13th. I have sent them another email I do not expect to get a refund at this point I am worried that this could happen to someone else. *** ****** ******* ** **** ** **** ********* I want them shut down.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

went to the website psychedelicsdispensary.net and placed an order. Order included a $30 shipping fee. Payment was made by zelle transfer. After the order was confirmed the seller texted me and said the shipping company was going to email me with confirmation and tracking info, which they did. Then the shipper sent a follow up email saying I needed to pay an additional $110 for an insurance fee before they would deliver my order. I contacted the seller to verify if that was correct and he confirmed that it was. At that time I stated to him that I wanted to cancel my order and move forward a refund. Seller stated it was not his responsibility and that he had completed his obligation and refused to refund. He later stated that his company does not have a refund policy but his website clearly states that there is a 5 day refund policy.

Online Purchase - Wander Painting

I came across this paint by number company on Instagram and thought it would be a cool thing to get my nieces. I purchased from wanderpainting.com and received a confirmation email. Over the course of the next few days to a week I was spammed with emails about how my package was getting ready to ship, these emails weren’t even accurate to what I ordered. Then when I finally received the tracking information and it said my package would be delivered on 11/29, nothing ever came. I reached out to Wander Painting asking for who was shipping it. They told me that it was being delivered by “Yanwen” and then Uniexpress Delivery, which I then found out to be fake delivery services. I frequently find that Instagram promotes many fraudulent companies and I find this to be extremely disturbing for a social media company of its size. I feel that Instagram and their partners need to be investigated on what they promote.
