Online Purchase - Online Purchase Scam

I ordered Luminera Skin Serum as a special offer. Product is free, pay only shipping and shipping insurance. So OK, I'll give it a try. Product arrived on a Monday. This "company" attempted to bill me $119.99 for a subscription on Tuesday. Fortunately, the bank declined it and alerted me. I called the company at the 800 number supplied by the bank. Spoke to a foreign man and told him I did not want a subscription and to cancel it immediately, I told the bank to halt payment as well. Representative stated, "Return what is left of the product and he would cancel the subscription. Be sure to put this RME code on the outside of the box. #101911223375382." The research on that address was a UPS store. I can't find any website for this company. Additional there is no mention of a subscription in any of the communications I received. I'm not sending the product back. I'll be sending it to the trash can as I have no idea if the contents are what is listed on the bottle.

There was an ad on Facebook Marketplace. It was an auction with the company Tablinautorepo. They had boats, cars, RVs, etc. We bid on a boat, and "won". They called me and told me what all they needed. They sent me an invoice and Wire Transfer information. They said as soon as the money was transferred they would set up the delivery and send me copy of all the information. We wired the money, they sent me Bill of Lading and information on when the boat would be delivered. It gave time and date and that the driver would contact us approximately 2 hrs before delivery. It was set up for 2 weeks out. When the day came, no boat. I called the number, nothing. I sent an email, it came back undeliverable. We contacted our bank, but since it had been 2 weeks, the money was gone.

I requested a refrigerator repair and the person who came didn't do the work, damaged my refrigerator and left it unusable, and told me that I needed a new control panel. I called the company and they told me that I had to pay for the control panel in advance, which I did and they told me that the payment wasn't reflected because according to them, that wasn't the correct email address, but I had previously paid for the service with that email address. They changed some letters to the email address and gave me a new one so I could pay again, but they didn't refund my money for what I had already paid. I did a little research and saw that this company does the same thing with all of their customers and they never fix anything. They hang up on you when you call them and don't want to answer your calls.

I was researching self publishing options for a novella that I plan to publish in the next year or so and a rep from this company reached out to me. We had discussed over the phone a few times the options that they had available but they continued to use high pressure tactics such as, limited time offers on pricing, attempting to get payment info over the phone, and requesting personal information. I did eventually get them to reduce their proposed costs to a level I thought reasonable and gave them my name. After receiving the proposed contract from them, there were several issues with the document (attached) including a lack of business information, removal of several items we had negotiated, a lack of information for legal jurisdiction. I had approached them about this and other reviews found on the BBB and they dodged the questions and passed off the reviews here as people with nothing better to do. I do not recommend using this company for publishing needs.

Investment - TR E-commerce Group / LSSC / Investment Scam

Hello, I live in Dallas TX. I was contacted by a friend with a business venture hoping to recover funds lost in LSSC. It sounded like the same scam we had just lost money to but she convinced us she had invested a day earlier and received a pay out. We decided to give it a try hoping to recover some loses. With $1000 , our daily pay out was to be $370 so we hoped to get our funds in 3 days and see what next. Day 1 funds were seemingly withdrawn but never deposited in our crypto account. The next day, the app prompted to upgrade with triple the initial investment before being able to withdraw anything. We joined with 3 different accounts and never withdrew a dollar. The App customer service was contacted via a Telegram account provided and they kept insisting to upgrade before withdrawals. Then we realized we had been scammed. It's unfortunate these schemes are out there taking advantage of vulnerable people who are hoping to invest and better their lives.
