I received a letter in the mail with no return address which said in bold letters across the top: MICHIGAN ANNUAL STATEMENT PAST DUE: February 15, 2025 which arrived in late June. It has a QR code which takes you to a website which asks information about your business. I'm assuming that they would eventually require money from you, but I didn't take it that far. The message at the bottom says what another person who posted on the BBB website experienced, too: "All Michigan LLC's must file an annual statement each calendar year in order to remain compliant with Michigan law. Failure to file can result in fees and penalties, or dissolution of the entity. BUSFILE.org can ensure all filings are completed correctly and on time, and offer various services to renew automatically annually should you prefer.

Online Purchase - Playful rewards

The app advertises itself as a platform that pays users real money for playing mobile games. I used the app for approximately a month, during which I earned $20 in-game rewards and also invested $5 of my own money as part of its offer system. When I attempted to withdraw my earnings, the company responded with the following message: “It looks like your device, account, or in-game behavior triggered our automatic fraudulent review process… Once we receive confirmation from the partners that your actions were legitimately completed, all payouts will be processed automatically.” To date, I have not received the promised payment, nor any legitimate explanation or timeline. I have not violated any terms or attempted to cheat in any way. It is my belief that this app is engaging in deceptive business practices—encouraging users to spend time and money with no intention of issuing payouts.

Employment - eToro Spoof

I was approached via text message from a woman named Tina that offered me a job helping YouTube expand there reviews. Initially it was just as simple as watching a video and saying if it was decent content. Then they asked us to do a lucky task. The task started off small like 10 dollars you would get like 20 back from adding it through bitcoin from cash app then buying bitcoin. The next amount was 156, then 360 then 1300. At this point I was like I can’t afford it and wanted to opt out but I lost 519 and wanted it back. So I went back in submitted the 1300 just for them to say something went wrong and we had to send 1300 to fix it. As I explained to them ima single mom of four and I need my Money back and I completed what they asked so why can’t I have my money back. They insisted to tell me that I can be sued for not sending more money as the merchants would be mad. In total I lost 1,819 dollars and really need my money back. I believe that this is a scam set up as a job and they are constantly asking for more money and not returning it to me and God knows who else.

Government Agency Imposter - Imposter Osha Safety Manuals Scam

Received a written notice addressed to my business with a Customer ID Number and my Business ID: "Records indicate that [My business name] is registered to do business in the State of [redacted]. Federal OSHA laws require all employers to provide a place of employment which is free from recognized hazards that are likely to cause death or serious physical harm to employees. Occupational Safety and Health Act of 1970. 29 DSC § 654. C.P.S., a third-party private entity, will prepare and provide a comprehensive written safety manual that will assist employers in complying with occupational safety and health standards issued by OSHA. Violations of OSHA may result in the following fines and penalties pursuant to 29 USC§ 666: (a) Willful or repeated violation: Civil penalty of not less than $5,000 and up to $70,000for each violation may be imposed; (b) Citation for serious violation: Civil penalty of up to $7,000 for each violation may be imposed; (c) Citation for violation determined not serious: Civil penalty of up to $7,000 for each violation may be imposed; ... (d) ... (e) Willful violation causing death to employee: A fine of up to $10,000 and imprisonment of up to 6 months, or both, may he imposed. It is essential that all employers maintain and prepare, in writing, an accurate safety manual that will protect their business from fines and penalties. C.P.S. IS A NON-GOVERNMENTAL ORGANIZATION AND DOES NOT HAVE A CONTRACT WITH ANY GOVERNMENT AGENCY TO PROVIDE THIS PRODUCT. Follow the steps below to complete this form and fulfill your order. Your information will be kept confidential and will not be disclosed to third parties. Mail the completed form with $295.00 to C.P.S. in the enclosed envelope. Please respond today!" Toward the bottom where there's information on how to send the $295.00 check, there is a big bolded notice that says "GOVERNMENT FINES AND/OR CIVIL ACTIONS MAY BE IMPOSED FOR FAILING TO MEET SAFETY REQUIREMENTS." I am a sole proprietor / 1 man shop doing remote work so I know I don't need an OSHA manual. The way this notice is written is very threatening and implies that they have authority to pursue civil action or fine my business, even if they state they are not contracted with any government agency. It seems meant to bully small business owners into paying $295 for a manual they likely do not need.

Family/Friend Emergency - Detroit Police

My house phone just rang (I live in Sterling Heights MI), the phone number from Charlotte, North Carolina 980-278-1864, and a man was stating that he was at a Detroit Police Station after a car accident. He kept calling me “Ma”. The voice sounded shaken, so I asked if this was Nick, one of my other son’s. He said, "Do I sound that bad Ma, this is Kyle”. My stepson lives in Detroit and his name is Kyle. However, he is 31 years old and has never called me Ma or Mom. He has introduced me as his bonus mom but calls me by my name ****. And he doesn’t call our landline; he calls his Dad or my on our cellphones. One of our children when young started having seizures. We will never get rid of that landline phone because if you need an ambulance, it’s right there on the wall still. Occasionally, we misplace our cellphone so our family thought it would be safer to keep the landline. It was clear then that this was a scam. I’m sure his next statement would have been to ask for money, but I hung up beforehand. It did shake me up a bit and now I’m just angry that this scammer is out there probably upsetting others too. Not everyone is knowledgeable about this type of scam.

Worthless Problem-solving Service

As a consumer I paid Infinity Ghostwriting for Amazon best selling marketing package for my first book in 2022 . They failed to honor the contract and did not provide all services rendered. The contract explicitly said 100 percent money back guarantee if royalties of 30 k are not met. I made less than 1000. They refused to give a refund . Moreover I prepaid for marketing , audio production, and 27 audio platforms for my other two books . No services were rendered. They refuse to refund any of the investment I made for all the contracts I paid for totalling over 32, 000. Lastly, I spent over 5K for website development including lifetime maintenance with lifetime domain, Infinity ghostwriting threatened to take down my website unless I pay them 2k for a lifetime domain thereby breaching the contract . This blackmail and coercive practice threatened my well being. They took my website down after 1 year when I refused to comply to their demands . This is called extortion and they have done this on several other occasions . Hidden fees and deceptive practices is how they treat their customers. The New York Times Trailer I paid for 2k hasn’t been completed after I waited over a year . No refunds . No services rendered. And the project manager is no longer contacting me after I sent the company a demand letter. Now, I have to hire an attorney because Infinity Ghostwriting has decided to keep all the payments I made without honoring the contractual agreements. This is called fraud . It is unethical and against the consumer protection act to take money from innocent people and not provide any service rendered per contractual agreements. I am writing this to protect the public from companies like Infinity ghostwriting in Los Angeles, California that fail to deliver, make up fake contracts, provide no refunds, and show zero accountability or transparency. Their lack of integrity and deception just showcases how little they care about their customers and the only thing that matters to them is profit and deception. Infinity ghostwriting has no moral compass and epitomizes the worse case of unethical business misconduct. I have had to endure emotional suffering for 3 years trying to work with them only to have them betray me by taking down my website I designed myself and refusing to give me any refunds for all the other invoices I prepaid for. Please be aware of how they mistreat consumers and execute unlawful business practice. It was the worst decision I ever made to trust Infinity Ghostwriting. I have lost thousands and have been traumatized by their abrasive and cruel misconduct. It saddens me that this is how they make their living.

I came across an advertisement for this company on TikTok and decided to place an order totaling $104.16, using PayPal’s “Pay in 4” option. After completing my purchase, I never received any order confirmation or tracking information initially. I reached out to the company via email to inquire about the status of my order but never received a response. Eventually, I was provided with a tracking number (ZA00499931301 ), but I believe it’s bogus. It showed as “delivered,” but I never received any package, and there were no details linking it to my actual order. I filed a claim with PayPal, but it was denied after the seller submitted this questionable tracking as proof of delivery. I requested to see the proof, but PayPal never responded to that request. I then filed an appeal and submitted additional evidence, including a screenshot of the email I sent to the company and a link to the website—which is now completely inaccessible. The tracking link in the email also leads to a broken page, as the website is no longer active. Despite the clear signs of fraud, my PayPal appeal was also denied. It’s clear at this point that I’ve been scammed.

The message appeared professional and included emotional details about the sender’s mother battling cancer in Australia to build credibility and sympathy. After the recipient expressed interest, the scammer quickly described the first task: handling monthly donations to orphanages. They stated that they would send payment in advance by emailing a PDF picture of a check, instructing the recipient to mobile-deposit the check using their banking app. The funds were supposedly to cover both the recipient’s wages and the donations.

Advance Fee Loan - Unknown loan

I decline the unknown/potential spam call. They leave a message saying they just need to verify a few pieces of information to complete my loan application. I never applied for a loan. They leave a phone number to call back 866-878-1552. I block all numbers yet they use a different phone number trying to reach me. I probably get a minimum of 5 per day

Online Purchase - Zolucky.com

I searched the Web for a certain style dress, found the website ZOLUCKY.COM. I ordered 2 dresses. Paid with a credit card. My credit card account has already been charged for this order. The dresses arrived -- but both are too large and I do not like the fabric. Following instructions in the rather serpentine website, I filed a request for return instructions & a return address. As directed, after waiting the promised 48 hours with no response, I followed further directions to cancel the return request. After which I was directed to resubmit the request for the cancellation instructions & return address. Now I have waited an additional 24 hours for a response. The website for this company is not user-friendly. There have been 3 other people on my computer to help find the "request to return" my order, but it cannot be found. The Chat Box only led to a site to purchase a communication subscription. The company has not honored their 48-hour response promise. It has posted that returns are accepted, but the web site provides NO CLEAR means for the customer to do so.
