My wife and I was looking for a Ragdoll cat. We came across this website that is selling them for $850 with flying to a major airport. We processed the money through paypal. We then started looking more into the company and seen they are not a real company. They have an address that is ***** ***** *** ******* ******** ** with a phone number 616-541-6501. The address is to some home and the phone number is to some golf cart business. I have filed a complaint with Paypal, but this site is still up taking money. They never deliver or respond.

Phishing

i was cold called, while in my car, to offer a premium business listing with better SEO and key words. we discussed it and the salesman "pulled up my listing" to see that i had quite good number of enquires that month, etc. I asked if i could pay monthly in stead of lump sum, and would they send me info about that. eventually a supervisor came on the line and asked if i was authorized to make financial decisions for the company and i said i was, then asked if i would like the service. i did say that i was, but i was driving, hadn't done any due diligence to verify who they are and what they offer, and to simply think about it and whether it would be a wise investment. so when i said i agreed to their service, i was agreeing in principle. about a month went by and i had decided that it really wouldn't be beneficial to my business and didn't want the service. Mary called and to paraphrase, said i made a verbal agreement and that i therefore am committed. i said i didn't want it, that i hadn't paid anything, but she said they have a recording of me agreeing and it's legally binding, if i don't pay it will go to collections. the email with the payment demand also said that i would be subject to 18% late payment penalty, when the terms and conditions on their website clearly state 1% compounded monthly. no mention of 18%. i have obtained legal council who have sent a letter to 411, and since then i have received a notice from a collection agency. my lawyer has sent another letter.

Employment - Employment Scam

I was hired as a freelance ClickFunnels Expert by Mimo Funding. I was offered $300 per week to complete funnel creation, hosting fixes, and integrations directly in Mimo Funding’s ClickFunnels 2.0 and GoDaddy accounts. Another freelancer, *** ******** *********, was also hired to build landing pages and is owed $600 USD. We both completed the work, which was live on mimofunding.com, but were never paid. We later learned that someone named Bob/Boris (who used the number +1 917-939-9190) may have acted as an intermediary. However, all work and access were tied directly to Mimo Funding’s accounts, so we reasonably believed this was an official engagement. We are simply requesting payment for completed work ($300 for myself, $600 for ***) and for the business to take accountability to prevent this from happening to other freelancers.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam - QVC Impostor

The company advertised on Instagram. The Ad claimed the product was made for QVC and shipping from the USA. After ordering, I received a tracking number that said the product was shipping from Singapore. (4 shelf units, $19.95 ea./ buy2 get 2 free). I was given a tracking number and the transit company is 17track.net. The tracking information claims the packages were delivered to my front door/porch in Rego Park at 6:49 AM on 8/29 and I was home the entire day. I had been checking the tracking every day for updates. I never received anything. Furthermore, when I reached out to 17track.net, I was told they don’t actually ship, they are a 3rd party logistics information aggregation platform (?) and if I pay a monthly fee, they may be able to provide global shipping information for most carriers!!! I have complained several times to the email associated with the company and have not received any response. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

This person posed as a legit sphynx cat breeder with a website, page and reference from past adopters. Then sent forms which appeared legit requesting money via zelle. Then when I drove to pick up cat, person said we could meet at police station or Walmart. I chose police. As the day approached for pick up she said her mom had been in a terrible accident and couldn't meet up with me. She Then apologized and said she'd ship. Sent what looked like a legit business called Succex delivery and they asked me to verify shipping then sent notification that I had to pay an additional 200 for a special crate to prevent cat from hyperthermia becauseof weather in the area. This Texas its hot and planes are temperature regulated. I said sender should take care of that and I wasnt paying any 200 that it should be her. They insisted money was refundable and to talk to sender. I said they should since she made she arrangements. They are very insistant on me sending money via zelle or chime. They threatened me me with pet abandonment if I didn't pay the 200 so I said I would contact authorities to let them know and that I wanted an invoice that my bank would be able to verify as legit. The whole time they wanted me to talk to the sender and I kept saying I already did my part and if tou have an issue they needed to take it up with the sender. I also screen shot the forms the supposed breeder sent claiming to be legit, but she has to be bogus if she is using Succex Delivery. I can't attach all the forms to show just how good they are at scamming people.

When I first applied my first question was do I have to pay anything into this job? She stated no.. I gave my personal information so that way I could get started just like you waited any other job. And after completing six of the tasks. She said I needed to pay $50 to complete 7 - 10. I stated to her I do not have that kind of money. She then said that it could be done with my earnings, but I still needed to pre-pay. They have figured out some kind of loophole. And I was told that they deal with people all around the world. By using Exodus, bitcoin app. I was also told not to share the node with anyone else not friends and not family. However, they say that if you get your family and friends to join that you get $5.00 per person. When I asked, how do I withdraw? The money that is already in there, it has been steadily decreasing by five cents every few minutes. If you need to be provided with photos and the conversation, I have everything saved in pictures.

When I received the blazer in the mail (way later than I was quoted) the measurements were wrong. The sleeves were shorter, the torso portion was shorter, and the shoulder area was narrower, than the dimensions I provided. When I contacted Perte D'Ego about the issue, they took a week to respond and told me they would contact their quality assurance team. It had been weeks since I heard back from them, so I contacted Paypal.

After quite a bit of time that he attempted to convince me, he sent a link by email that did actually looked real. My second mistake was tapping the link which takes you to what looks official. he told me to put in a code and information that I was a winner would come up. It actually did have my full name and amount won 2.5 million. He then gave me a 800 number that he claimed was Bank of America escrow. He gave me an account number and a 4 digit pin that would verify that money is in that account. He told me to go through the prompts to verify that that money was there. He never asked me for any money at all. I followed instructions and an automated voice told me my full name that I had 2.5 million in the account. He asked me to call him back which I did not. I blocked his number and begin my own investigation. I telephoned the real Bank of America and spoke to the fraud department.

Phishing - Fake Guitar

This appeared on Facebook.com: https://www.facebook.com/marketplace/item/1757847465617124 Nancy Nieves - Free Martin guitar "This item is being given away for free due to personal reasons" I sent a message about this and they eventually replied: "Hi Ed, It's still available and in good condition. My sister is downsizing and willing to give the guitar out for personal reasons to anyone that would care to have it, you can reach her via [email protected] for details on how to get the Guitar. Her name is Carol." So I contacted Carol using my "good" email address (should have used a throw-away email address). Carol replied: (abbreviated email reply) "I see you are interested in the guitar, it was owned and used to be played by my husband who passed away in April. I have just moved to a new home in this city from Reno, Nv and I do not want to keep the guitar as I know it would make healing harder for me, I also do not want to sell it as I believe my husband wouldn’t be pleased if his guitar was sold considering his love for the instrument, it was his favorite. Best regards, Dr. Carol Ruth Khan." I replied and she provided these details: (also abbreviated email) "I got through to a representative of the moving company the guitar is being stored with (sky2c freight systems) in order to know how to go about redirecting the guitar to you. You should send an email to the company representative named Faith via this address, [email protected], then you present my reference (ID: AYMAT117TCD) letting the agent know Dr. Carol referred you." Stupid me, I sent an email to the [email protected] address and then it hit me, why a gmail address? So I looked up sky2c freight systems, and did a search for the [email protected] address and saw it on the BBB scam database. Just like the "Free Martin guitar", this was in the database: "Online Purchase - Fake Give Away This was a Facebook marketplace scam for a very expensive harp. The woman claimed that she was parting with a harp that her late husband had used, and would sell it for the cost of shipping...", etc. These people should be ashamed. OTOH I should have been more alert, smarter, "if it looks too good to be true..." I guess my desire for a Martin guitar got me snookered.

In total this company took $64.00 of my money and when I sent them a email inquiring about the Pants Suits and letting them know I haven’t received them yet. They sent me a email saying my shipment is on the way. Welll. I waited another week and a half and sent the company another email inquiring about the shipment of the Dress Pants Suits and this company told me the shipment was delivered. They even gave a tracking website that said the package was delivered but the package was never delivered to me. This company is a complete rip off and I want others to know before they invest in this company. They elaborately ripped me off for $64.00.

Online Purchase - maccydeals- David Miller / Macy's imposter

I was googling a pit boss grill and didn't pay attention to the Macy's website being spelled wrong. I placed an order and the account info on my account had a weird name, so I realized it was a scam.

Online Purchase - Poeriherall Website Purchase

I felt an uneasy after placing an order with this website, so I decided to do my research and found out the company was actually in the UK that went out of business, and the name of this company has been used by scammers so now my personal information my banking information everything is out there. The charge is from AIYTECH WANCHAI. Which is definitely not who the order was. Placed through. I’m worried they will attempt to take more of my money

I have been repeatedly contacted by the same phone number since December 2024 about supposed job opportunities. At first, the company name was presented as Action Applied, then later changed to Apex Avenue, and most recently The Base Camp. The job role offered was always vague, usually something like an “Event Representative” position with “$600–$900 weekly pay.” Each time, they claimed they found my resume through an application on Monster. When I searched for these companies online, there was little to no legitimate information, and the names/locations kept shifting. I also found that other victims reported going to interviews where the business on the door was actually Tele King Inc. They described confusing, evasive interviews that pushed commission-only sales or MLM-style schemes under different names. The pattern suggests this group is recycling company names and addresses to mislead job seekers. While I personally did not attend an interview or lose money, it is clear that the intent is to funnel applicants into unstable or exploitative commission-based arrangements. Given the multiple name changes (Action Applied, Apex Avenue, The Base Camp), I believe this operation is deceptive and should be flagged to protect others.
