Online Purchase - Floral secrets

Follow the link in an ad on our Facebook ad. Agreed to purchase one bra from the website. During checkout procedures, several pop-ups kept getting in the way of the accept purchase button. These pop-ups were advertising for our add-ons and I had to press the decline offer but in several times. Despite pressing the buttons several times the website glitched and registered these as adding on the other offer to my order. When I received the confirmation email the next day I saw that they had charged me for over $100 that I did not approve for a product that I did not want. I attempted to contact the customer service to have my order canceled and fully refunded and they refused to do so. I have yet to receive the original product I ordered or my full refund for their mistake.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I placed an order on November 1, 2025, a few weeks went by, i contacted them, they said their shipment was back ordered and offered to get me a refund if i didnt want it. Another week went by, i contacted again, they sent the very same email out I received before. I responded and advised they sent me this same email before and in that email they said the order would be sent out a week prior, Thursday (that was the reason i contacted them a seond time) I never received a confirmation that my shipment was sent out. They only then they responded saying a refund was sent back and it would take 3-4 days. I didnt ask for a refund, only asked if i should request one. Kind of suspicious when i didn't receive any type of confirmation and someone contacted me only with a gmail acct. They didnt list any phone number on their website, so i put in mine to proceed with complaint. $120.00 this time of year. I'm LE and this kind of money goes far in my profession. Please help me figure this out. Thank you.

Within 24 hours I was receiving packages delivered to my door step and my job was to open the package take a picture of the packing list and the item, upload them to my dashboard and request the shipping label. After the shipping label was sent I would print and tape it to the package, take the package to the nearest UPS location and drop it off to be shipped out. I worked for 30 days and when payday came which was November 21, 2025 I find out that the bank to receive my funds from was Union Bank located in the UK.

Advance Fee Loan

Getting five to six calls per day at various local numbers about a "loan application" that I never applied for. They ask you to call them back at 833-588-3804 or 844-509-3316. Every agent I spoke with had thick Indian/Asian accents, used fake names, hung up as soon as I asked to be removed from their call list, then called back five to six times per day. The first call is a pre-recorded message. The voicemail transcription typically reads as follows: “It’s [today’s date]. You might remember applying with us for a personal loan or line of credit. At the time, we weren’t able to move forward. Rates have since come down and underwriting has opened up, especially for people with fair or lower credit. I reviewed your file this morning, and it’s sitting just shy of approval for $68,000. If that still fits what you’re looking for, give me a quick call back at 833-588-3801. I’ll be available until seven. When you call, please ask for the underwriting team and mention Reference XXX (couldn't hear the number). Hope you’re having a great day, and I look forward to helping you.”

I'm a postal worker and the majority of that tracking from that site ends up being a scam - nothing ever comes. The company uses the site to claim something has been delivered by a bogus tracking number by USPS and none of the tracking ever existed. I shared with the company after requesting better tracking info them i am a USPS employee and then never head from them again. Package was supposed to be here November 14th.

Investment - GemTech Pro LLC

GemTech, in my experience after receiving an ad on the internet from One Click System https://onlinesuccessmembers.com/login for $69 PH (844)-737-1486 to get training to setup a business I thought I would give it a try. The representative who answered the phone was a polite gentleman who wanted to know my interest in this business. I explained extra income for retirement. He explained that after just a few weeks the money came rolling in adding thousands of dollars of income say $50,000 to 150,000 a year, and work only 2 to 6 hours a week. He explained they would set me up with a website, training and coach me through the process. I would be a drop shipper, and they would set me up with warehouses. Not sure what my role was I requested time to do research on the company when the representative showed me an ad with the BBB showing an A+ rating and other advertisements the company wanted me to see. When I explained I wanted to discuss this venture with my wife he ask who was the decision maker in my family and that ever since Adam and Eve the man was always the provider. I was advised they were professionals and they are at persuasion and deception but continued they had been in business for several years and only 2% of the people applying made it into this company. After being on the phone for over an hour I agreed to pay the $10,000 fee and sign the contract initial, initial, sign. After doing some research and not finding any positive information regarding the company, even the BBB had negative complaints but did not fit the guidelines of the BBB rating system. I also found a notice that my present work required prior approval for outside employment and activities, so I called back later that day to explain I had bad news that since I was a government employee I needed to get prior approval for outside employment. The representative replied they work with government employees all the time with no problems. I also questioned why I was not finding any positive reviews or referrals, only negative experiences. I was told any business has negative reviews using Walmart as an example, but the tone was more defensive. Since I was already scheduled for training and coaching, I decided to see how this plays out since my defense was going nowhere. Finding more negative feedback I decided to report my experience to the local police department who filed an incident report and after doing their own investigation did not recommend doing business with this company being short of calling them fraudulent. I later called the company back to request a refund and cancelation. I was notified there was a 3-day grace period for cancelation and after that funds were dispersed for software to set up this program. I explained that should have been verbally explained during the contract signing rather than initial, initial, sign. I notified them my wife was 100% against this venture and we were not presently speaking. I was notified they did not want to see me lose $10,000 and I was scheduled for training, and coaching they also stated that if I could not make the training or coaching, they needed prior notification to reschedule. When they questioned my approach to this venture, I explained that I was playing offence and defense at the same time trying not to lose $10,000 and turn this into a profitable venture. At this point I have no choice but to let this play out. After the second training session I was notified that they would need copies of my drivers licenses for Shopify who I found out does not need a drivers license maybe a business license and other personal information they already had and the site would be ready in about two weeks. my coach called to see how things were going. I told him my wife was still 100% against this program and if he could not get her on board this venture would be over divorce as I see it is still more expensive than $10,000. I handed my wife the phone who called him a liar and a cheat. The conversation went on for several minutes until the representative finally hung up. The following day I was contacted by upper management who pleaded their case requesting that I continue with the program. When I explained I had emailed a request for a written denial letter even though my grace period had expired. I was told they would not do that that was spelled out in the contract and that nobody held a gun to my head during the signing. I was told that I needed to send them an email stating I would attend the training and coaching sessions, or I would be out $10,000. I agreed. As I arrived home, I was called by another representative who stated my wife was only trying to protect me and women sometimes act like this when they are lift out of the decision-making process and feel lonely or not included. He wanted the chance to explain the program to her and get her approval. I agreed but since we had company would have to call at a more convenient time. When I entered the house, I recognized my wife’s friend who is involved in drop-shipping and other businesses, so I decided to return the call to the company representative. My wife’s friend spoke with the GemTech representative for several minutes maybe over an hour, asking several questions. One that was highlighted is that a drop-shipping venture does not cost $10,000 to get started and it could be done for much less or nothing. After the conversation ended I was told that since they had my $10,000 investment they would likely continue to add charges to continue with the program since sales were not meeting expectations and you find yourself trapped in the situation. I was told my wife’s friend would do a little more research on the company and see what she could find. A while later I received an email with an ad on drop shipping calling it a scam. Other sites on GemTech Pro LLC, When a Business Offer or Coaching is a Scam, Examples of Business Offer Scams and Coaching Scams, Ripoff Report, and Scam Advisor. You be the Judge. I was not given any references outside of this company other than the BBB, which did not meet their guidelines for qualification. They said they were giving back to the community but was more like taking when it comes to getting your money back or even part of your money back.

I noticed the same company name clicked on the email and saw that the email name didn't match anything in the email body.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Icare site allows payments to go through for products purchased. Once payment is taken out of bank accounts the site claims information was incorrect and you need to resubmit information again for purchase that ypu already paid for. When I called customer service was hung up on the first time. 2nd time I called Christian said there was a glitch in the system, then that my info was submitted wrong. When I questioned why didn't it allow me to correct this prior to taking my payment he said unfortunately it just did, I called a 3rd time not being satisfied with this not being a scam, Mario said that I didn't click terms and conditions before submitting my payment. When I asked why would the payment go through if that was a requirement he hung up. All 3 sounded like the same guy and i didn't have to explain what my issue was they all new some how. So no product received and money taken out of account. Even if i get my money back in 5-7 business days this shouldn't be allowed to happen.

Online Purchase - Costco / impostor

Angela Starks Sponsored · My son works at Costco and told me something the other day that I kind of brushed off. You know those things that sound like the weird ads you see online? That’s pretty much what I thought it was. But then he explained it again and, well… it turns out it’s real. He said that if you’re over 50, you can get this meat box for under ten dollars because they had a bunch of extra stock they needed to get rid of instead of throwing it out. I ended up filling out the little form he mentioned — I’ll drop it below in case anyone wants it. Took maybe a minute tops. I signed my husband up (he’s 59 and painfully picky about steaks), and when the box arrived he opened it like it was his birthday. He even said the cuts looked good and the packaging was fine — no surprises. If you’re over 50, it might be worth checking out. Worst case, you waste a minute. Best case — you get a whole box of decent meat for almost nothing. Here's the link giftzap.biz/dd35 GIFTZAP.BIZ Giveaway - Costco Meat Box

Credit Cards - credit card

The number I put on here is my number and I’m the one that got scammed but they called and text me from a Gmail account and they was pretending to be a chime representative. My daughter was selling something on marketplace and a lady reached out to her so she callled me and asked me could she use my chime so the lady could send her the money for the product that she was buying from my daughter well the lady sunt some money from a chime business account to my personal account and I was told you can’t do that but the lady that was buying the product was also in on the scam and we didn’t know that until after the fact. I have documentation of the transactions they took out which equalled to $1000. He was telling me to share my screen with him because he was trying to put my Money back in my account but instead he was taking all my money and I didn’t know he was a scammer I thought he was a real live chime rep and I did a dispute with chime and two days after that they denied it because I guess they thought I was a part of it but I wasn’t because I don’t even know these people or where they from. My payroll check had just deposited on Thursday November 20th and he took all my money that night so he told me my money would be deposited back in my account on Friday so I had a bill that was coming out Friday and someone loaned me $400 just in case the deposit didn’t come through in time from them to pay that bill that was already about to come out on Friday. So Friday they called back tryna to see if the money had deposited and they ended up taking the $400 also that was in my account for that bill leaving me with $3.34 in my account. I realized something wasn’t right and I contacted chime and did a claim so today November 23 chime sunt an email and denied it so I called them again and reopened my claim because I need my money I don’t know them people and that’s to much money to just let somebody take it from me when I have bills coming up. I’m in MS and can’t tell you where these people from.

They targeted my on instagram with paid advertising, saying due to personal reasons Emily needed to close and get rid of her stock.

This person wanted to set up Reiki sessions for her daughters. She couldn't use Venmo or Cashapp because she wasn't tech savvy and on bed rest and wanted to send me a check. Then she said the bank drafted a check for 3240.00 instead of 324.00 and would it be ok if she sent it and I refunded her back the extra.

Online Purchase - Shenzhen Sleepon Technology Co.

SLEEPON is a scam. I have been trying to get a product that I paid for in early September, (over two months ago), and it was supposed to be processed in 2-3 business days and delivered within 5 to 7 business days. 15 days later, I had not received anything, so I contacted them. They apologized and said they would ship it right away. Within a couple weeks I received part of the order I paid for. I reached out again, and they said they would be getting more of the item within a couple weeks and that I would get it soon. In mid October I still had not received anything, and reached out to them again. They said I should get it within the month. By early November, I reached out again. I had seen that the item was for sale on their website with no reference to being sold out, as they had done for some other products. I told them they could either send me the product or refund me. They then said I would get it around mid to late November. I still have not received any kind of order processing or shipping notice despite it now being November 22nd. I do not believe that they have any intention of sending me the product I ordered, nor refunding my money.

Other - Serenity Spa & Facials - Denver, Colorado

I was scammed at Serenity & Esthetics Spa in Colorado after responding to a $69 facial ad on Instagram. At the appointment, they took my ID, pushed a “free” skin scan, and later billed it for $750. They sold me a $580 membership that turned out to be a hidden contract that blocked cancellations and refunds. They gave me skincare “samples” with no ingredients or brand, and when I tried to cancel, they kept delaying and asking for photos. Then I discovered the real fraud: They opened a CareCredit account in my name without my consent and charged $3,420 to it using a digital signature I never approved. A few days later, they sent me an invoice for $6,460 and submitted a false list claiming I used $10,270 in services during a 25-minute visit. This business is a fraud, and I am filing complaints with CareCredit, DORA, and the Colorado Attorney General. Please avoid this place and protect yourself.

Online Purchase - Preferred Health Insurance Agency

I filled out information on affordablehealthcare.gov and I immediately started receiving calls. I answered a call from someone who told me they can help me obtain health insurance. We were on the phone for about an hour going over the details of different policies I could obtain. The agent identified himself as Eugene Sullivan from Preferred Health Insurance Agency. I agreed on a plan and told him not to take money out of my account until December 15, 2025 (the alleged insurance was supposed to go into effect Jan 1, 2026) I printed out some information that he emailed me and I started to realize something felt off and it wasn't a plan I was comfortable obtaining so I called Eugene Sullivan. He didn't answer but he text me back saying he would call me back in a few minutes, which he did. I asked him a couple questions about the policy and I told him I didn't feel the policy fit my needs so I told him I wanted to cancel. He immediately said, "Thanks for wasting my time, have a good day." I called the 800 number on the paperwork to make sure the policy got cancelled and I did receive an e-mail back saying the policy was cancelled. I woke up today to find a charge for the first month payment for the insurance taken out of my account. Mind you, I told him not to take payment until December 15, 2025. I realized he had put the charge through on the day that I cancelled. Luckily I caught it while the transaction was still pending, I was able to stop payment on it. I can't believe I fell for this.
