Online Purchase - Traveluro

Booked a reservation at Days inn and once the reservation was made they had the funds all hell broke loose. No answer from any operator no funds being refunded and even the operator said the website was glitchy. So I booked online thru traveluro.com website well the date changed from nov.6 to 7 this is what I had on screen when booking. After I booked the date changed to January 6 to the 7 of 2026 and no customer service and no one to change date on booking. So after the fraud was made they had no face and no voice.

My request: "I tried on one of the two shirts I bought and it is way too small and tight. The shirts arms only go down to 4 inches above my wrist. I am 5' 10" and weigh 210, and all my other XL shirts are quite roomy as shown on your photos. I believe these two shirts were mis-marked at the factory. They are either size small or maybe medium. I would like to return these shirts, please. Please let me know how to do that. Thank you." Received response that my complaint was outside their 30 day return/exchange window (by 4 or 5 days) and they would do nothing for me. Clearly their fault. In addition to being mis-sized, shirts were of very poor quality, not like the photos on the website.

I drove 2 hours from home to work 2 shifts hired by a company through Instawork. I worked my morning shift then I waited for 10 hours at a local park then returned for my evening shift. There was no service so the company was reporting hours worked. Once I regained service (30 min away) I got a notification my shifts I already worked were canceled. I contacted Instawork, they ignored me then banned me from working through the platform, I persistently inquired and after nearly 2 weeks was told it’s in the contract that the company can cancel and that’s just how it is. I persisted with every question I had in my confusion than as I researched people I’d worked with and reviews and their refusal to protect their employees as well as the partners (as they call them) I discovered this is a common practice of theirs and they have staged workers to report to them and they have partners staged to help them scam. I ran out of gas trying to get back home and nearly lost all my belongings in storage as I had lost 2 days and never received payment.

On October 21st while doing a vehicle repair I used the vin # to look upthe spec. on the car. One of the results was, vinhistory.com. after registering (required to run and product a report.) After entering the vin # I was prompted to pay to see the report. ( I had search fo a free search & result). It was only $1.00, so I use a Fintech debit card to pay. The results were inconclusive. The only information was the year make & model. Findings being useless, I continued my repairs. On October 26th I recieved a push notification from my bank stating my purchase forr $29.95 had been declined. After investing I found out the venders name.I created a file, name, transactions number and amount and time. I contact the vender through their website and found a complete account with all my info. I contactsupport to confront and complain and found I had signed for a 3 day trial. This was not inclided in the registering process in fact, many details that were not apparent in the. Registration we're now in plain sight..They had billed me 4 times one on the original purchase, then days late, on the 26th 3 attempts, 2 fr $1.00 each, then for the $29.95.i sent them a internal message complaing od being scammed. I did a cancelation. Two days they tried again. This time I sent a email demanding to be canceled. There was not a conformation in my email. After a couple of days I recieved a push notification they had submitted another billing. As of today they are still billing me. This prompted me to file a complaint. I will contact them again about this complaint. They woll not unsubscrbe me. I hae boucked them and kept my balance low.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I searched for women's coats. Harper&Lane war included in the offered selection. The item I received however is poor quality and wrong size, has no info about the type of fabric nor the size on the item but they mention high quality in their multiple offers f.e. cashmere. After receipt of item I inquired about its return. Client has to pay for oversea's shipping without being told the country and you get the refund only days after they received the item (if they ever would receive it) - not knowing the return shipping address, they ask you to use their email address "info.harper&lane.com" for return and give them all your information.

Online Purchase - Barnes and Noble IMPOSTER

On Monday, November 3rd, 2025, an ad for Barnes & Noble popped up on TikTok for a big book collection sale. I clicked on it, and it looked identical to the Barnes & Noble site. I didn't notice the URL at the time. I made a purchase for $59.86, and an order summary appeared with an order number, stating it was confirmed and that I would receive a confirmation email with my order number shortly. The email I received is attached to this, but it didn't give me an order number or anything, it just said Welcome to our shop and there was a link to "visit our store' and a link to email customer service at [email protected] (I didn't even pay attention to this at first). I was able to access the "store" to view my order for 2 days, but now the webpage doesn't exist. It comes up as "Error 1000 DNS points to prohibited IP. You've requested a page on a website (discounter-club.com) that is on the Cloudflare network. Unfortunately, it is resolving to an IP address that is creating a conflict within Cloudflare's system." I checked my bank account, and the charge was for an even $60.00 from a merchant NOCERAST, which, when I called my bank, they said the merchant was listed under "cosmetics." I've attached screenshots. I had to cancel my card because it is obviously a scam.

I ordered these jeans from a FB advertisement that kept coming up and they had great reviews and looked really nice. I ordered two pairs, paid for expedited processing and it still took nearly a month for them to arrive. Upon arrival I opened them and they were not like the ones in the advertisement. They are made of very cheap materials and two pairs the same size were ordered but they are not of the same measurements. I emailed asking for a return to be processed and they claimed I needed to pay to have them sent back or they would give 10% back. I didn’t accept that so they offered 15% back and said that was their final offer. I went back to the return policy and it states full refunds within 30 days and they will send a return label. I email again pointing out they are violating their own return policy and was given a long line about tariffs and offered 20% back and that’s was final. I will it accept this and plan to continue to fight it.

Got a package from Amazon, but I didn't order it. Tried to connect with Amazon through the website but I kept getting the runaround. I couldn't find a phone number on the app, so I googled it and I got 877-705-1003. I called it and the number was answered as Amazon, I explained what happened and, in order for Amazon to help me, he; Alex from Amazon said he needed to connect to my Amazon account through Screen Connect. He told me that the purchase and payment came from PayPal.... He said that he needed to check virtual debit card, so he asked me to put 1234 in the virtual debit card. I said that I didn't feel comfortable doing it, but I did. He then said that he will erase it from the virtual debit card because I felt uncomfortable. After 30 minutes we got disconnected. Then it hit me! I checked my bank account and I was scammed out of $1234.00; 1234. I called my bank and they did a charge back until they could check out my claims. Oddly enough " Alex from Amazon" called me back and left his name through my Google assistant. The number he used was 540-845-8202. PayPal still sided with Mohammed Ahmed Almaghr even after all the information I provided. This happened to me on October 27, I disputed it to PayPal on the same day, five minutes later PayPal sided with Mohammed Ahmed Almaghr. I'm blown away by this and I can't believe that I let this happen.

I would truly appreciate it if you could notify them and try to get my total of $294 back as soon as possible. I am mailing the bottles tomorrow. These bottles are a scam. They say they are the recipe for the pink salt and whatever else you’re supposed to take to lose weight!

Phishing - Ridgegate Financial / impostor

3-7 phone calls per day all from different phone numbers with the same recorded message about an available loan through Ridgegate financial. I have spoken to their “loan officers “four times and they have each stated they would put me on the do not call. There is an automated option where you hit nine to be put on the do not call, I’ve done this four times. The calls keep coming all from different 800 numbers for weeks now. I have spoken to these people and told them it’s harassment and I don’t know what to do because it’s not all from the same phone number so I don’t know how to block it. These calls interrupt my workday every single day without fail as well as my free time and evenings.

Other - Document Delivery Phone Scam

Someone called numerous times over a few days from 774-260-2827. The woman left a message the first day saying it's an urgent matter and to call 866-448-3953 with a reference number she provided. The next day the same number called 2x and I answered on the second call because it looked local. The woman said she is calling about an urgent matter and the client was trying to deliver documents to my home or place of employment on file. I need to call 866-448-3953 with a reference number she provided to verify my identity for these documents regarding a complaint against me. I asked her what client and what documents and she said she didn't know, I need to call the number provided. So I said, I am not the person you're looking for but "How does that make any sense? Why would I or anyone else call a random number to verify their identity for a complaint they know nothing about?" She hung up on me after that.

Online Purchase - Ryabe

I ordered a top and sweater from Ryabe on October 26th fir $118.26. They immediately took the money from my credit card. Most company's don't take payment until they ship the item. I got a response that they were getting my items ready to ship and would be notified. The website stated there were warehouses in the united states and that they had easy 30 day upon receipt returns. I contacted them a few days ago inquiring about my order and got a response that they were getting ready to ship my order again. I never received anything. This company is a SCAM! DO NOT ORDER ANYTHING FROM THEM OR GIVE YOUR CREDIT CARD INFO. All these companies like LIGHTBOX, TEMU, SHEIN, RYABE ARE SCAMMERS. THEY WILL RIP YOU OFF!! President Trump needs to stop these scammers from getting into websites in the United States.

Phishing - Property Allocated Waiver

I don?t know what they are trying to do, but I suspect it may be a fake attempt to purchase title to my property for $195. If I were to cash this check, for example, perhaps that is supposed to be accepted as a sale or something, or perhaps this scammer is looking to get my bank account info on the cancelled check? I don?t know. There is no return address, only a phone number on the envelope and it has my name and address on it with directions to call within 7 days. The language is somewhat threatening to get the victim (intended to be me) to quickly respond to prevent something happening to their house or their loan.

My boyfriend went to buy me a birthday gift from pandora on the safari app. When he typed in “Pandora” the first website to pop up was “Pandoura”- he didn’t notice the difference and opened the website to shop. He ending up putting his card information in- luckily he didn’t click the pay button but we probably won’t know for a couple days if they take his money or not. This website looked exactly like the real Pandora!

Phishing - Advance America

Received a personal loan offer via text after applying online from a company called "Advance America Payday Loans" but uses the same logo of the Advance America company. Verification link to form for personal information sent that asks for bank routing and account number in addition to name, address, phone number. After verification was complete, the "loan agent" Henry Brown text me that in order to complete the loan process, I'd need to send him my online banking login information (username and password), which I did not provide and ended the conversation. The next day, I received the EXACT same loan offer, from the same company, but this time the "loan agent" name was Kevin Carter. His phone number was exactly the same except for the last two numbers in sequence (same area code, same prefix, same first two numbers of last four). This is clearly one person running multiple scams on multiple burner/fake cell phone lines. DO NOT GIVE ANY INFORMATION
