I am writing to raise concern about an online raffle currently being promoted by public figure and artist Chiquis Rivera, also known as “Chiquis” on Instagram. Approximately eight weeks ago, she began advertising a raffle where participants could buy a $100 ticket for a chance to win two vehicles.
The raffle has been consistently marketed via her official Instagram account to a large following. Originally, the drawing was advertised to take place on April 20th (4/20), but on April 15th, she posted a last-minute update extending the raffle and moving the drawing date to May 5th (5/5).
As of this writing:
• No nonprofit organization has been disclosed as the beneficiary of this raffle.
• There is no public mention of where the proceeds are going.
• The odds of winning have not been shared.
• There is no registration number or documentation provided to show compliance with California raffle laws.
According to the California Attorney General’s Office, only eligible nonprofit organizations that have been in operation for at least one year and registered with the Registry of Charitable Trusts may conduct raffles. Furthermore, raffles cannot be conducted or operated online—only advertised there—and the drawing must be conducted in accordance with the law.
If this raffle is being operated without a licensed nonprofit entity and without compliance with California law, it may be considered unlawful gambling or a deceptive practice.
I’m submitting this concern in good faith with the hope that it can be reviewed for potential consumer risk or legal noncompliance.
Thank you for your time and attention.

The business uses text messages and Instagram messaging to ensure that the products all authentic, and will provide a full refund. Paid the business @ 708-901-0054 and received 2 fake tracking numbers from FedEx. The items were never delivered and the business sent a third fake tracking number. Asked for a full refund and the business stopped responding. This business is a scam with fake Instagram followers, fake pictures of products, and a fake verified Instagram account. The business operates 2 other Instagram accounts all with SHOPFORRETAIL. Do not buy or send any money to this scamming Instagram account.

The boots didn't come for a long time, but I received a couple of emails claiming that shipments were slow due to a high volume of orders. Eventually the boots arrived and were dropped off at the lobby of my building without me being notified.
When I opened the package, I almost started laughing! the boots are of such poor quality, if I hadn't paid $69 I would have thought it was a good joke. They look more like cheaply made bedroom slippers than outdoor boots and I'm sure that if I wore them outside even once, they would completely fall apart. There was no packing slip or invoice or paperwork of any kind in the package.
I emailed the company (thinking it was part of the Bay) and told them I was dissatisfied with their product and would like to return it. I did receive a reply, and was told that I would have to supply photos of the boots as they had arrived and proof of purchase. I sent a copy of my Visa statement and a photo of the boots as they appeared on arrival.
A day later I was told that they photos were "broken" and needed to be sent again. I complied. I was then offered a 15% refund or I could purchase another item from their "catalogue" for $9.99. (as if that was a great deal) I told them these options were not appropriate and that I would like a full refund.
I then receieved 2 other emails stating that I would have to return these boots TO CHINA and at my own expense, along with 1) A valid track and trace code of the return shipment.
2) Proof of return (for example, a receipt from the shipping service).
If they then felt that I had a point in returning the boots, they would let me know if I'd be issued a refund.

However after a family member of mine purchased a necklace worth 600$, and this was with a "discount" for knowing her personally, the necklace rubbed off into a black color. After confronting her about it she said she'd take it back to run tests on it and returned it to my family member saying it must've been because it was underwater or some chemical was added via my family member, neither of which were true.
Brenda Gaytán blamed my family member for the tarnishing. However after taking it to a pawn shop and a jeweler we found out the necklace was actually stainless steel and was gold plated with a lower quality gold than advertised. Brenda refused to refund us and offered my family member a lesser value piece of jewelry that was likely fake also. She continues to sell on her page and does not pay taxes on it.
