Two dollar free trial for seven days and if you shop from their site, you’re supposed to yet free, shipping, rebates, and 10% cashback on every purchase you make. I do have a copy of their email that says that they still bill me even when I canceled before the trial was up, I mean it was really close, but it was long up. The deal was that if I purchased goods through their merchants listed on the website through the specific window offer, then I would get 10% cashback and free shipping. The window for the merchants would lead to kohl’s or any other window I shopped through official site. I suppose this is how they begin monitoring your passwords. Not to mention the fact that they already have a password you use in your log in information. They started to treat me like a criminal when I inquired about the cash back and if they had return shipping rebates.. They wanted to know my billing information. I went round and round with them, thinking I was really going to get my cash back. Finally, I ended up calling kohls.com. Because I knew I wasn’t a criminal and I wanted to know what the issue was with free shipping not wanting to give my cash back. They had never heard of free shipping.com and said they had no affiliation with them. I am in panic mode now. They’ve been in my email. I see emails deleted that I did not delete. Somehow my emails have been altered. I’m going to attach some examples. The ones from me at least start with my picture beside them. I’ve analyzed it a lot, but I can’t figure it out. Exactly how they did it. The biggest difference I note is that the ones that are completely obvious that they changed begin with bold large letters spelling out Julie Thomas. Well, it’s not how most peoples emails start out, and neither does mine.. it can get confusing after that because they hyperlink my address and they’re fake emails that have replies from me and them. So if you click on that hyperlinks if is my email address. There are also images that they attached to the fake ones that are hyperlinked. One was completely obvious which I am going to attach to this report. It has attachments just typed out in black. Then they’re listed below with a blue hyperlink. When I finally noticed this, I clicked on that hyperlink. Though the image clearly says JPG. It lead you to some kind of fake Kohl’s website and I noticed that it said that a packing slip receipt by the tracking number. OK well Kohl’s does not do that. I don’t know of anybody who actually puts their tracking information down for the package and says packing slip receipt. Not to mention the fact that an image is supposed to lead to an image not a website. I just hope there’s not another trick up their sleeve that I don’t understand by them doing that. Oh goodness. Now I think I’m gonna have to change my password again just in case.. By the way, I did follow this dispute with my credit card company over that purchase and got new numbers even though it was in my PayPal. that credit card company was also listed is compromised. They had me saying some kind of crazy stuff and the fake ones. When all of this started hitting me, I started changing passwords. When I got to my Apple ID and looked at my password keychain, I had 367 notifications of passwords leaked in a data breach. I am so scared. I don’t know if all my lost was $21. For one I lost more than that because I wouldn’t of bought quite so much had I I not thought I was getting 10% cashback. But there’s a much bigger picture. Some of those accounts listed were my children’s. I have already been. To some of yes banks, website and yes, I had to change my password., and the websites would not let me in. I had to change my passwords. My daughter’s bank account has been compromised . No telling what they found in my Gmail account. That’s the same login to my Google account. I have all kinds of private information in my Google Drive. I have a picture of my daughters Social Security card on my iPhone. I hope to God that wasn’t in my iCloud Drive. But if not, my tax return information was in my Google Drive, so either way, they probably have all my children Social Security number plus mine. Someone told me that they can also monitor any tabs you have open when you have their website app. Well, I also created account with login and Doc Club, and deleted another one that later I found was not deleted. I’ve contacted login.gov to see what kind of information they could’ve gotten hold of. I sent an email, so I’m waiting on that response. I also tried to sign into my Social Security account and I couldn’t. So I typed in all my information to reset my password. I’m sure the window was open. I’m so screwed, I’m gonna have to call the credit bureaus and l freeze my daughters account. She is only 16. Having a baby and will be 17 next month. I feel so terrible about the decision, but they actually had decent trust pilot ratings. Of course I found out later on their site they only show the fours and fives. I also had an email to passport for the rewards program. It had my passport member ID on it. I don’t know what to do about that, because I do not see it in my sent mail anymore. It’s gone.. and the future repercussions of this are not known because I don’t think every bank does a credit check before they open the accounts. And you hear all kinds of horror stories. Anyway, thank you for hearing me out. And I’m getting ready to attach these files for your review. I would love for you to contact me if you need any more information. 270-370-8041. I know they have my daughters password to her bank account and pin number to her debit card. When I was trying to login to mine and it wouldn’t let me I decided to see what password apple was using. It was using her password to her account.. I asked her if the digits that came up that it showed me was her account password, and she said yes. I said change it right now and change everything you have any banking or personal information stored in. You see the thing is I never knew her banking l password or login. So they have to be in my Apple account. I did change that password and set up two step identification or whatever it’s called. If there’s anything you can think of that I should do. Please email me. It’s [email protected].. Something else I just thought to tell you is that their website says that their cash back gets awarded when the merchant notifies them and tells them that items ship., so that’s why I said that’s not a requirement.. They did, however require proof of purchase, when I submitted for the shipping rebates. That kind of made sense to me. I still didn’t receive any of the money for cash back or shipping rebates. I gave them everything they asked for for the rebate program. I sent it to [email protected]. Those emails have since mysteriously disappeared from my sent mail as well. I didn’t have any credit card numbers on those but the last four. Which was actually made up by PayPal or Apple Pay for my protection however, they had already got me before they even requested that information by hacking on my account i and my children’s. I’m not seeing the attachments when I make them on this current report to you. I don’t know if it’s because I’m on my mobile phone. I’m

going to send you the what.my emails really look like, but if you’re interested in seeing them, just email me and I will forward those messages to you. I hope Atleast that one screenshot attached. If you got all of them, that would be even better. I don’t want to forget to say that I had a password leak reported from betterbusinessbureau.com. I think I had an account, because I’ve posted a review before. Anyway, if I did have one, I don’t now. I tried to sign into it and it said they didn’t have an email user by that name when I tried to click forgot password.

I ordered a nativity set from Groupon on February 3, 2023 and received an email stating it was delivered on February 24,2023 but I never received it. I contacted them on their website through a chat but they said they had nothing showing I made the purchase. I gave them the order number from the tracking email I received from them but they wanted my debit card info such as name, last 4 digits of my card, expiration date and address. Of course I didn’t give it to them and told them it sounded like a scam and I would report them. I even copied and pasted the whole email and posted it in the chat. They couldn’t help me without my debit card info so watch out and don’t order from them.
