Other - Warranty Scam

Received a letter in mail that looked official from Hyundai regarding extended warranty. Time sensitive call this number . We called 888-926-1464 and talked with someone named Brendon Witt and he first made it sound like he was from Hyundai finance dept and said we paid way too much for our coverage at dealership and that he could help us get a better rate for extended coverage and get our loan adjusted. He was very believable but also very pushy to get credit card number. We fell for it. He charged the card 264.00 and claims we will be getting something in the mail. After the call I looked up the phone number and discovered it was a scam. I have since asked for a replacement card.

I was thinking I was calling Spectrum (1 833 267 6094) on 10/1/25 but apparently misdialed or got auto switched to this line. I wanted to change some Spectrum service and unfortunately answered their questions giving away my debit card information. I did not authorize or agree to any services from this company and made that clear when I was talking to them. I saw the charge on the debit card and have since received in the mail that I will entail a monthly fee that I did not agree to. I tried to email them and it's not a valid email. When I went to Zillow to check the address on the debit card it appears to be a private residence and not a legit business. I have since changed my debit card.

My Perfect Resume charges money for creating and downloading a resume. Last week they attempted to charge me for creating my first resume, but I didn't give them any information or means of payment, nor did I try to get the resume from them after this. Instead, I attempted to cancel my account, but the email they sent in response stated that they could not find the account associated with the account ID. I am sure I did not make a mistake, so I tried to find out if this has happened before. As far as I know, I have not seen another incident like this, but My Perfect Resume has scammed and overcharged a number of users it has gotten the payment information for. Many users state that My Perfect Resume will not cancel their paid subscription and will continue charging them as long as it is left active. Others state that the site overcharged them for their first payment. Unfortunately, while I have a folder documenting emails between My Perfect Resume, myself, and other users who fell victim to their schemes, I have only been able to submit the email that shows their apparent inability to find and cancel my free account. This is my first time making a report to you, so if there is a way to send you the whole folder, I would appreciate that. Thank you for considering.

Phishing - Vehicle Service Contract Letter

Received a letter in the male saying Final Notice and return service requested. There is no information as to where it came from, who sent it, nothing. Only thing is a phone number and business hours. I noticed it said on the letter that it was standard mail, meaning it wasn’t actually anything important. The letter says “Our records indicate that you have not contacted us to have your vehicle service contract activated. We are informing you that if your factory warranty has expired, you will be responsible for paying any repairs. However, if expired, you can still activate a service contract on your vehicle before it’s too late.” Knowing how the auto industry works, if you don’t pick up an extended service contract at the time of purchase or before your factory warranty expired you cannot get any (depending on dealership). I did not call as I don’t own any new vehicles, but was worried that someone was trying to use my name and address for buying a car. Looked up the phone number and the first thing that came up was the BBB website with scam information matching the phone number. I attached an image and blocked my personal information using my fingers (name and address).

She offered me no solutions and stopped taking my calls. I have been sent to collections by the carrier because the premium employee that sold me the phone didn't send me the proper paperwork so the carrier could accept the return of the phone.

Very similar experience as other poster. I was gifted a harness, it was terrible. Wanted to return it. What a pain. Came to find out they charged and sent 2 of the same harness. 67.00 total. To return, you have to contact the company first for approval where they try everything to get you to keep it. Then you have to mail it back in perfect condition in the same packaging, with tracking information. You have to then email them a picture is the package and tracking or you won't get a refund. Also, YOU pay the return shipping to China, 25.00. I mailed it in aug and it has been sitting in Chinese customs since sept 12th. They will not refund anything until the package reaches their building and they decide if they will refund. Absolutely such a pain, you can easily buy a much better and much cheaper item from any local pet store. Avoid.

Online Purchase - USA LLC FILING

Business is set up to look like a government agency. I thought I was filing for LLC through a legit government site. The fees are extremely high and look to be required for filing - however they are not actually required to file... these are all "service" fees the company collects. My LLC was created in the wrong state - which means I will now need to dissolved the incorrect LLC, create a new LLC and create a new EIN. Very unethical practice.
