Phishing - Loan Underwriting

I get about 20 calls per week from various numbers saying that they are calling from Capital Loan Center and they said that the underwriting department has approved my personal loan but just needs a few more details. I've talked to several humans and they don't even have my first name but I've asked them to remove me from their lists and I continue to get the calls.

Counterfeit Product - Kiro Brands

I was targeted by a YouTube ad for a precision jet lighter. This lighter specifically was advertised as not using butane. Supposedly it was some revolutionary lighter that you charged with a USB cord. The site that they had was very busy, which made it hard to be sure what you were getting. I felt it was very deceptive, and when I received the lighter, it turned out the ad was a blatant lie. It clearly takes butane and the lighter I received had clearly been used before and probably returned. They ended up tacking on a $14.99 charge for an extended warranty that I didn’t want. I lost confidence in the whole transaction right after I hit the submit button. I tried to cancel the order within 30 minutes of making it on a Sunday but received an AI message from the company saying that it was too late. It was in their fulfillment center and I would have to return it once I received it. I ended up disputing the charge with my credit card and the company ended up refunding my money. We will see how long that lasts. They wanted me to pay money to ship this piece of junk back to China. I told them if they sent me a postage paid label. I would return it but that I’m not going to be penalized for their blatant false advertisement. The company also goes by the name of Blazzra or that is probably the name of the brand of lighter. At this point, I kind of expect them to try and re-bill my credit card if I don’t return this within 90 days, but I’m in a wait-and-see situation right now..

I ordered a mahjong set from this company. In the picture it looked like a nice set. First of all, it took over two months to arrive. When it finally arrived, the package was tiny. The pieces were cheap and the decals were cheap. The ad stated hand painted pieces. They are obviously not. The mahjong mat is made out of the fabric you use to clean glasses. It is not the material that mahjong mats are made of. It cannot even be used as a mahjong mat as it is too small and the fabric would move when you move the pieces. Additionally, they state that they are approved by the BBB.

When asked what company she was calling from she continued to repeat "Merchant Services" despite me telling her that it is not a legitimate company name. She could not tell me who my processor was but tried very hard to convince me that my business had been overcharged. Even pretended to look up information such as my processor, dollar amount, etc. but could not produce any information that would indicate that she was a legitimate entity.

3rd Party Insurance Broker, billed for a month's premium then had insurance cancelled by Broker, with notification recieved only from Insurer, NOT the Broker. When attempting to get a refund from the Brokerage Firm, was told to wait for an email, which, of course, I never recieved. The companies phone number came up on the BBB Scam tracker when searched online. Note that this scam uses a method whereby you are enrolled in an "ancillary" plan, where you pay a small amount (in my case $30.00), on the 15th of the month, then the remaining amount (around $350.00) on the 1st of the month: upon "signing up," you WILL recieve all the paperwork and ID cards from the insurer. I THINK the smaller payment IS for legitimate coverage, they just use that to seem legitimate, to then steal the larger amount.
