I placed the order from what was supposed to be Joann's going out of business sale. I never received any of the items and I have a long list of emails with every excuse there is. They use terms like logistics, sorry for your loss we lost too ETC! All responses were emails. This has been ongoing for months. I tried to upload the emails but it doesn't want to co-operate.

Left me a voicemail "This message is intended for Jxxxx Mxxxxxx. We've been requested to deliver certified documents involving a pending matter you have the name in. As well as the property located on **********. To address these concerns you do need to contact the firm directly handling your file. Their phone number is 877-879-8517 and reference your file number that is 111-2827. Early failure to make contact with the firm before close of business today will leave no choice, but to move forward with the pending action without your consent. They also called my daughter and husband regarding "this pending action"

Just a fake job offer. Pretty standard. Lots of pay, little work, etc. Here’s a screenshot.

The company website represents themselves as Barnes and Noble Publishing offering services to publish a book. There were multiple packages to choose from ranging from $299-$1800 after talking with the 'sales person' and deciding on a package he sent a Stripe Payment link for the amount. He said the link would expire within 24 hours. He also said that I would receive a contract or invoice after payment - which did not happen. He then passed me to another person who was the 'Project Manager'. The project manager reviewed the information in the package over the phone but no written services where ever sent or agreed to. After that, the project manager sent me an email and text message. We had several conversations and I sent over my work. He created a book cover using a free site - Heyzine. This was basically a copy of the information I sent him as I had included a mock-up I had made on my shutterfly account. A day or so later, he sent the first preview of the book - again a recreation of the mock-up I had made except all the words and pictures were mixed up. I told him this and he said he would make revisions and then we needed to talk about copy write and marketing as a next step - which both would come with an additional charge. He also mentioned creating profiles on Amazon and Barns & Noble. After our conversation I looked up copy writes and found that this was something i should do on my own through the US Copy write website. Then I went to Barns & Noble to see how to create an account and thats when I realized the company I was working with was not affiliated with Barns & Noble at all and that Barns & Noble was actually warning people about companies like this one - They have a pop-up banner on their website. After talking with my bank I discovered that they had tried to charge the card 3xs for the package amount but the bank only allowed the one charge through. I dont know what this company would have actually done for me if I had continued with them, but the misrepresentation of who they were and the tripple charge left me not wanting to proceed. All that this company did for me was recreate a mock-up of what I originally sent them.

I was supposed to receive 3 grocery reuseable bags and they only sent 1. Claiming the warehouse did ship 3

Fraudulent Sale of Counterfeit Cannabis Products I am submitting this complaint regarding a fraudulent transaction involving the purchase of counterfeit cannabis products from an online vendor. On my first and only order, I purchased two bottles of “Baby Jeeters” pre-rolls for a total of $120. The products delivered were of extremely poor quality and clearly inauthentic: The pre-rolls barely resembled cannabis, with no recognizable taste or quality. The QR codes on both bottles did not scan, confirming they were not legitimate. The packaging and appearance differed noticeably from authentic Baby Jeeter products. The delivery driver arrived with large plastic bags full of random products, from which he retrieved my order. After raising these concerns via text, I received a call from a man associated with the vendor. Rather than addressing the issue, he repeatedly claimed their business was “number one” and that many customers purchase without issue. He further insisted he would inform the Baby Jeeter company in California, which I strongly doubt given the fraudulent nature of the items. The result is that I spent $120 on counterfeit, unsafe products that must be discarded. I no longer have trust in the additional Sherbinski vape purchased during the same transaction, further compounding the loss. This business is engaging in deceptive and fraudulent practices, selling counterfeit cannabis products and exploiting consumers through cash-on-delivery transactions. I strongly urge consumer protection agencies and relevant authorities to investigate this operation to prevent further harm. I am requesting: Investigation into this vendor’s business practices. Public warning to protect other consumers from financial loss or health risks. Enforcement action against the fraudulent sale of counterfeit cannabis products. This was a deceptive and harmful transaction. I respectfully request that the matter be formally reviewed and that steps be taken to hold this vendor accountable.

Inquired about a Facebook marketplace advertisement on an apartment/condo for rent in the Northern Virginia area. I was given a phone number to call, in which a woman under the alias, "Olivia Frank" answered. She took some personal information (first, last name, email, job title, income, and potential credit rating). Following that, she sent me an email to a seemingly scam-like website with a $1 charge to check my credit and income. I cut any further contact at this point.

I purchased 6 bottles of Prozenith based on an ad I saw featuring Oprah Winfrey endorsing this produce for weight loss. The product consisted of 4 ingredients. One of which was Pink Salt. When I received the product, the only ingredient was Tumeric and after further research discovered that this was never endorsed by Ms. Winfrey. I went online to the support site which was ClickBank. They told me they had no record of my purchase. I called the support number on the receipt and was told to go to the support page which let me right back to ClickBank. They website promises a money back guarantee but that doesn't seem to be the case.

Scammer sent an email with an attached pdf stating it was an invoice and asked for our banking information for payment.

Good morning, I recently filed for an LLC in the state of California with Legal Zoom in which I paid extra for Legal Zoom to file necessary state and federal document filings. I recently received the attached document in the USPS mail in which "Business Resource Center" is claiming I need to pay $87.25 for a Certificate of Status Form. I believe this is a scam company attempting to receive payment for something they have no authority or direct connection to official state government agencies to process.

Ordered 2 rocking chairs w/table from TikTok and it was not delivered. Email for contact returns Mailer-Daemon every time and no phone number listed

This was on TV with a QR code to click on. It brought you to a website where you could order the item. I just got it in, and it is a fake. Their email address is not valid.

Call came across phone as Spam Risk on 8/25/25 at 4:30p, they left a voicemail: "Hi, this is Stacy Barber calling from National Asset Management in regards to a civil matter that has been filed against either you, your social, or someone associated with this phone number. I need an immediate call back from either you, or your legal representative, today at 833-795-5753. I repeat 833-795-5753. Good Luck"

I purchased a top and a coverup. The pictures were of beautiful cotton or linen pieces with beautiful embroidery. What I received are 2 cheap short sleeved polyester tops that are not cotton, not linen, not embroidered. When I contacted them, this was their response: We sincerely apologize again that the two items you received do not meet your expectations. Please note that all items are based on the actual product, as our supplier is unable to provide embroidered/printed fabric craftsmanship. Therefore, there may be some differences between the actual items and the images shown on our website. This is deceptive and misleading. They told me they would refund $30 and I could send them back to China at my expense. I did not ask them to send an alternate nor would I ever wear what they sent. They then offered $45 which is still not okay.

Placed order and it said 3 to 5 days to receive the items and tracking info would be sent. Order was placed on July 11th. I have contacted their support several times and they just keep telling me that order will be shipped. Ive requested refunds and they will not refund me. They just keep telling me it will be shipped and they will provide info.

I listed my boat for sale on the Boat Trader site on 8/29/2025. Within minutes of the listing, I got a response from an interested buyer (first sign of something is wrong). He asked to have a phone conversation and I said OK, but it turned into a text messaging session. He asked what seemed to be legit questions at first. Then he insisted on me providing a report from thevesselinsights.com web site. He gave me the URL address directly. I submitted the request as instructed. What was odd at the time was that the questions and the responses seemed to be AI generated. But the report came back really suspicious, but I submitted it to the potential buyer anyway. At that point the buyer made an appointment with me to see the boat. On the date (9/2/25) and time (11 AM) of the appointment, I received another text, canceling the appointment due to an emergency. No rescheduling date. At that point, I knew it was a scam and I fell for it.

I too was scammed by this gift card website, for my Apple Gift Card at $705. It looked reputable, even so I was even skeptical at first and even when I was on a chat as well as doing this through their website a submission. After this, they proceeded to steal all funds from my Apple Card and never pay me money quoted, $648.60 payout promised via my PayPal for gift card. Days. No money came, still today. We know this is a scam. They took my card info. redeemed and still today have not paid me. This was to process same or next day and it's been many days. I am shocked. I plan to post this review on every and any venue online possible to help warn others not lose their money to such sites and scammers. I feel dumb, I should've done more research on this before I gave them my PIN but now my loss is $648 and feels bad and it's crazy. My Apple gift card stolen by them since I got ZERO. They got $705. Sounds like theft because it is. When you take and not pay. They know and see I reached out plenty on chat and email but no response ever since they took my funds and card info. to steal it. Silence since same day they redeemed it and proved they did so, as per Apple support, they used my card on 8/27 after I've had it for many months not used up until I go to their site and looked at reselling it online . Now, they still have never paid me for the card as agreed. I want my money, now. Pay me my funds. I have reached out since then so much it's been so many times it's incessant but now I am done. They also have a phone number that's disconnected and another number that nobody answers and then tells you their voicemail is full? That VM greeting is of some girl named Destiny. What's that about? I also spoke to the local police (from the website posted address who told me this address is just medical offices and isn't anything else. When I first came to the site looking and asking on their chat about the process I had somebody communicating with me and helping me and after the scam I'm aware this place or person is/has been now intentionally ignoring me and still now has not given me my payout vis PayPal nor have they refunded me back my gift card of $705 by now. I told them via chat and emails that I have already moved forward with reporting them to any and all avenues of authority. I am doing my rounds now and seems now my only recourse to want others from this shocker. I will go to my own state and Fla. state Attorney General offices next to report this cyber theft next. I'm checking my PayPal every day and I see 0 balance and we do know you stole my money when I should see I have a balance of $648.60 from your company for my giftcard. Now, due to the fact that they never paid me as promised and then, stole all the funds from my gift card and now I have n nothing in return? This really feels bad and I needed the money from the card ad this sure sounds like robbery to me. All they do is ignore me and not do right. I feel dumb as I'm usually good with being suspicious BUT seeing the website and logos and testimonials and they tout no fraud AND site safety and fraud/zero tolerance? Portray a no worry deal? I'd say do WORRY and just avoid uysiong them despite some positive out of the negative scam feedback. They SCAMMED my money is all I know today and this is days later. Where are my fund in PAYPAL? You best deposit my funds now, today. I warn. Do not use them! and don't go by posted up testimonials from people and news channels and others. I'm going to be contacting those organizations to see if they're actually legit sponsors to this company and know anything more about them and reput. I see now this site preys upon the design of GC reselling and so, here is the news, for the news channels I see you use logos for, that that perhaps this is news for and to them to know about? Yes, for course, if they are your sponsors to this company. I'd want to know how and why, It is known that stealing money from people via online venues in this manner is cyber theft and I wonder how you sleep at night but I daily expect and want my money or I want my gift card back of $705. You already been reported to FTC and FBI, you better start doing the right thing today. Give me my money now or give me my gift card back. You are fully aware that I've not yet been paid and been reaching out about you not doing so, then continually ignoring me ever since. Apple has since verified you redeemed my card on 8/27 when I was in touch with you for this submission and payout I was told within 14 hours, which never took place but your redemption did. When I had choices of other sites to use! Not my dumb luck, please simply pay me or return my gift card funds by now. You used it. If you've paid the others, why wouldn't they be paying me by now? Scammers. There's also a person a few days before me on trust pilot who reported the same scam on his gift card from GameStop. And a few others are out there as well. I have seen a few. I wish I knew before this scam on me for 705 bucks. It really hurts. UPDATED as of SEPT 2nd still NO CONTACT, NOT PAID YET!!? This is crazy.

received an unsolicited text stating i applied for a $20,000 loan. i never applied for any loan.

They said that the deadline was up in 3 days to pay a fine for using the California toll pass without having a EZ pass or whatever they're called. Which I have driven on the freeway so this wasn't surprise. So I followed all the palms that my card wasn't working so I figured because I use online banking that was the reason and I put a different card in and that's when everything went wrong. I started getting charges in my bank account so I canceled that car they sent me a new one and I still was getting charges. From my Detroit I've uploaded a picture with some of the phone numbers that were attached to this messages

I have received multiple text messages that state - "Hi (my first name), Alexis here from CNFI USA to review loan options. Let me know if you no longer need $33,000, otherwise have a few minutes now to discuss your application?" The dollar amount has changed and the phone number may have changed but otherwise the message is always the same. But I have NOT applied for a loan through CNFI USA. In fact, I recently put a freeze on my credit.

Ordered an item on there website and was charged the amount of the product. Was able to track the package for awhile but now everything is gone.

Doctor Emma had a long 30 minute plus Description of her medicine that was supposed to help with irritable Bowel system. I listen to the entire 30 plus minute description and sounded like it was something that might help my condition. I ordered it and paid for it and received 3 bottles. Which actually caused more trouble with my Ib s then I had before. I was stuck without having a bowel movement for over a week after taking this medicine. And i'd never had that kind of problem before. Only a day or 2 would go by without a bowel movement. There was no answer on the telephone number. I replied to and it had been disconnected. I have tried contacting my credit card company and so far. They have not been able to verify the sender.

She is a fraud … it’s a scam. I ordered and she said it was sent. I paid a 100.00 then she had the shipment saying they needed insurance of 100.00 I asked for a refund but she refused

I was told to reserve a puppy I was trying to purchase for $300 and was told I would receive a refund and they will not respond to me about the refund or dog.

A letter with immediate response required, no business name listed. Says information is time sensitive. The outside of the letter refers to Rocket Mortgage. However in the fine print on the inside of the letter, there is a statement that whatever company this is has no affiliation with Rocket Mortgage. There is a check, that is not a check that appears to be a waiver of a fee for some type of service. My assumption is the scam has something to do with mortgages and possibly trying sell fake mortgage insurance. The inside of the letter has Final Notice and states they have the right to revoke the allocated waiver after 7 days of receiving the letter. Call immediately…final attempt. No website listed. No email listed. Only a phone number. The best part: Not all consumers have previous coverage. Not affiliated with Rocket Mortgage, LLC.

Person(s) saying they're requesting/confirming my name, business, job title, email address and physical address the magazine ships to, so that I can keep receiving Waste Management Magazine or another industry related magazine to that effect.

Left message that I was a "person of interest" in a case involving my son and that I needed to call this number - 844-391-1092. They called using a local number - 208-675-9247 I did not answer and did not return the call and have blocked the number.

Unsolicited text message recruiting for jobs paying 100 to $500 a day. Said must spread English.

they claimed this product would help lose weight. stated it had 3 different contents however when received the bottle only had one of the items in it which could be bought at any health food store.

I ordered a mask package from Skaind, and despite being all over Facebook and imitated by new brands this company is likely a complete sham. Their tracking device is completely fake because it doesn’t allow you to know or contact the company shipping the item. Skaind emailed me and told me that my item was being shipped by the US postal service but the post office said they did not have the package, some company called WANB did and that there was no telephone or address for it because all of the info was in Chinese characters. Skaind emailed me and said they were on it, just keep waiting for the package that WANB claimed they had a ‘failed delivery attempt’ with, though my cameras and mailbox trackers prove otherwise. 10-11 days later they supposedly started shipping another item, all the way from China, but still refused to give me a time of delivery, telephone number, or physical address for the shipping company (which supposedly has a warehouse in my city, completely unable to be located on all apps and maps). Again, the app said my package was delivered and NO ONE showed. I have no doubt that this is a scam company with no actual product, hoping people will blame the loss on a shipping issue.

Official looking mail with a .org web page. The letter contain a scan to file link.

Retryguard.com tried to charge my bank account for $120 on 09/01/25. Fortunately, my bank blocked the transaction. I had never even heard of this company before the bank alerted me to the blocked transaction. I believe this company was trying to scam me. And I’m guessing that I’m not the only person that they have tried to scam.
