      An account was set up with this merchant using my wife's name (***** Bless), our home address and my email ********************* and used in an attempt to ship items to a Miami address for which we have no affiliation (**********************************). When I contacted the merchant, they said other items were ordered and shipped. They refused to discuss the account with me since I am not the account holder. I said that there is NO account holder since we did not set up the account and that the account they do have uses my information as well as my wife's name.

      I have reviewed the response made by the business in reference to complaint ID ********, and have determined that this does not resolve my complaint.  For your reference, details of the offer I reviewed appear below.

      I did call the number of a supervisor that represents Mason Companies and during a verbal exchange with someone that said her name was ******** She informed me that someone had opened an account with my credentials ( specifically my social security number ) I asked her to read the number that she had on file She said that it was against company policy but, I could tell her my social security number I told her that I was not comfortable doing that.

          She informed me that a fraud investigation would be started by their company and I needed to send the item that was shipped to me back to them using the ***** label provided with no cost to me.

            ************ should not be allowed to do any business with anyone Asking someone for their SSN over the phone is not normal for a reputable company to act.

      In February 2025, I received a package in the mail, a towel, from a company I never heard of or ordered anything from. I held onto it, in the packaging and have tried to figure out the origin to no avail, Then I started to receive text messages and phone calls telling me I had a "past due payment".When I look up the company on yelp, there are tons of one star reviews that spell out the same situation, someone receives a package they didn't order then they are harassed for payment.

In that time, we ask that you do give us a call at ************** to speak directly to one of our Supervisors for next steps to finalize this for you. We do appreciate you bringing this matter to our attention.

      Hi my complaint is not resolved, the company "********" is requesting I contact them and I do not wish to do so. This is a scam, I don't know how they got my name and address. They sent a product I didn't order and have been harassing me since.  I have received multiple phone calls a day, ten plus text messages from robo calls telling me I have a past due payment. When I search the company aka "Mason Companies **** on your BBB site, FOURTEEN different results, all with different PO Boxes in ********* come up, they all have "F" ratings. In other words, this is extremely shady. I will feel my complaint is resolved when they admit wrongdoing and agree to never contact me again.

      WI Stoneberry sent me a statement said I opened a charge account with them. I have never given my permission and social security number to them and personally information to open any account. I have contacted this company and they have put a freeze on account to further investigate. They did notice a familiar situation that they considered unusual and they had already put the hold before I called today 3-3-25. I am now contacting Identity Theft to further ck my personal accounts about this very serious matter. I want others to be aware of this scam so to report it immediately and hopefully no one else goes through what I am experiencing. Thank you

      This company practices in a way that allows people to easily create fraud accounts and is not helpful in deleting these accounts. it seems to be a scam to get people to pay small sums to close out accounts that are fraudulently created. Credit Phishing Scam

      Customer Answer

      I received a bill from them for something I did not order and an account I did not create. When I asked to report fraud they seemed unfazed and began asking for more of my personal information. I was uncomfortable giving them more than the fraud account number on the document I uploaded to you and my name. To this they basically reported, "give us a few days and we will see what we can do"? Having dealt with fraud at a bank level, this is not the response I was expecting and it set off some internal alarms. I would like BBB to investigate this company to see if they are actively participating in fraud strategies designed internally. Thank you, *****.

      An unsolicited product that I did not order was delivered to me from a company called **********. I then received a bill for the product. Product was addressed to my name and address. The order number on the site the product came from showed an unknown phone number and email address that was not mine. I tried to contact the company when receiving the bill but was unable to speak to anyone that could assist me with returning the product and cancelling the charge. They only wanted to discuss making a payment. To return the product with included return label states there would be a $10.00 charge. I do not want to give the company any additional personal information and I'm not paying the charge billed to me.

      A fraudulent account was opened in my name contacted the company for a week in writing (email) notifying them of the fraudulent account and requesting any orders be canceled, the account be frozen and deleted. Was told multiple times that this cannot be done via email or chat and that I had to Call their 800 number. Called the 800 number multiple times and was never connected with a person. Finally Got through to a person and was told I would be responsible for any bills sent to my residence, even though the account was fraudulent. My billing information was not connected with the account so my call to the company was merely a courtesy to help them manage their loss prevention. Was told that regardless, because my billing address was on file, I would be responsible for any bills. Finally permitted to cancel the account and place any future orders on hold. The company was able to cancel one of the fraudulent orders, but even though I had emailed in plenty of time in the week, another order was not canceled. The company had plenty of time to process my request via email, but refused to do the order or account cancellation through email. Notified a supervisor that this policy lends to scams and does not protect their customers. Supervisor was apologetic, but it was clear that the policy would not be changed Reiterated that they do not do any cancellations through email. This is a poor business practice as a business owner myself if someone is able to apply for their credit card fraudulently in my name online and order products from them online through email I should be able to cancel, order or close an account that I never opened through online communication. Companies like this one give businesses a bad name and might as well be handing scammers a bank account. If the only thing needed to open an account and use someones identity is their name and an address this company has made a pathway for anyone wanting to steal more than possible. Worse they dont care.

      I call today to place an order for hoka gym shoes, I want to go on the payment plan of $14.99 she said it wouldnt be a problem she has for the last 4 numbers of my social security I told her I didnt want to give her that information because I didnt want her to run my social security since Im buying a house she promise she was doing that after I gave her the last of my ss I got the alert that someone ran my credit. I looked at it right away while I had her on the phone and I told hershe lied to me because its showing that your company Mason ran credit on me. I expect the company to erase that off my credit after I told her run my credit and she said she wasnt going to, but then again she lied and thats not business like at all people like this youdo not want in your Company. I expect you guys to remove it off my credit and I made the call at about 255 so you can look her upand see who she was. I also had the code for free shipping. She tells me I cant use that. That was a savings of what $17 so I need all this to be taken care of.

      Dear ****,


      I have reviewed your complaint and apologize for any inconvience this may have caused you. We encourage our customers to read the terms and conditions of the credit plan before submitting an order to ensure there is full understanding regarding the use of it. Just like any credit card or line of credit applied for, a credit check will be ran on ones credit report. Our agents don't run the report themselves, but once an order is placed that process is set in motion automatically. I do see that free shipping should have been applied to your order and I have removed that charge. Again, we do apologize for any incovience.
