I ordered a Foldable Treadmill on sale during Boughloaf's "Flash sale ? Limited Stock ??" online sale. After waiting 14 days for shipping, I receive a "Silk Scarf". This is clearly a scam. The original tracking label from China was covered by a USPS label.They gave me a no deliverable mailing address to send scarf back and they refuse to send me a shipping label. They are refusing my 100% refund request and we keep going back and forth. They admited the mistake was their fault but they refuse to refund me ALL my money. They also gave away my card number and other scammer started charging my card. Web page disappeared last month (error 404) but now it's back with a new company name. The web link send you to the same item, same page but they changed the company name to Balladrock.

I purchased a handmade silicone Reborn Doll from Joanna Kazmierzakpietka through Facebook messenger for $800. Lucille #2 was being sent out of Fort Collins Colorado to my address arriving 2-3day from 3/27/23@6:30pm. I received an email from Express Post Mail @6:31pm day of delivery saying I needed to pay an insurance fee of $750 in order for them to sterilize and finish the process for delivery that this was part of their protocol due to COVID-19. I reached out to Joanna through messenger, she replied I will take care of this I promise you everything will be okay. I continued to get the emails from Express Post Mail requesting money. I reached out once again to Miss Joanna Kazmierzakpietka only to have her say I don't know what to tell you I guess you're going to have to pay. I at that moment request my $800 back from her. Didn't get response so after few minutes I replied with ??. At which point my message did not go through. Said no Facebook messenger existed anymore. I reported Express Post Mail fraud to ScamPulse.com but now I need to report her. I called Cash App to report her fraudulent charges and tried to get my money back representative said I had to go through BBB. So here I am please help me out this doll was for my granddaughter who lost her brother 2yrs ago & has had nightmares since. I also told this to Joanna right before she ghosted me.

I ordered a product online, the product was never delivered and said "returned to sender" when I contacted the company to find out what happened, it turns out they do not have a phone number, or functioning email address. I tried to file a complaint and there is nowhere to post a comment to warn others. I tried using their chat feature to reach someone and no one answered. When I pretended to be someone else the chat service answered right away. They never responded to my emails and have since blocked my email or their email does not work because all email correspondence bounces. There is no identifiable information on the website to hold them accountable.

Facebook Marketplace for a chair that folded out to bed. The name of the site was ASIASITEVISIT.. the site showed a picture of Home Depot it also had ScamPulse.com on it there were several other things that made it believable. As soon as I ordered it I showed my son and he said you have just been scammed so I immediately called the number and of course the number is not a working number they sent to me an email and I sent them an email back asking for a phone number which they never answered. I called my debit card holder and they blocked them so they cannot take any more money from me but I'm afraid that they could change their name and take more money. Please stop these sites that are on Facebook Marketplace. Older people are more susceptible to being scammed and me being older that's just what happened. And I know it doesn't look like a lot of money but when you live on a fixed income and need that it is a lot of money.

Rough cut gemstones like citrine that is low in quality being sold for over a thousand dollars that is around 2 inches long by half an in wide. You find these low quality gemstones for 10 dollars at best at stores, the metaphysical shops will only sell these items for 30 dollars at best. So this is a matter of gouging and yes this is another scam too by preying on those who are niave and ignorant of what gemstone costs sell for.

First of all they say they need an order of $164 or more to make the order. I wish I would have taken that as a warning sign.

They only take Zelle payments which I found strange.

You can't contact them via phone and there is no address for the "store".

After they get your money they pass you on to the shipper:

newjerseylogistics.org (.org ?)

The shipper claims your order is on hold and they need $300 to "insure" the delivery of your order. They also claim that after delivery they will return your $300.

I bailed at this point.

Repeated emails with them got me nowhere and I started to notice the bad English in their writing which alerted

me further.

Attempts to get refunded my money has them constantly telling me to contact the shipper.

They were selling Morgan silver dollars for 19.99 and in the ad they showed that they were accredited by the BBB. The 1878 coin they were selling sell for $40-$100 normally.

Scammer messaged me about buying something I was selling through Facebook marketplace and wanted to use Zelle. He said he sent me $350. I got an email saying to request an additional $300 from him to expand my Zelle account to a business account so I could receive the funds. I received another email saying to send him $300 through my Zelle account and screenshot the proof so that I could receive my funds. My Zelle account was put on hold then I had to contact my bank.

The purchase was for Foldable Storage Bins. I was given a tracking number but the packaged was not received by the carrier. When asked when I should receive the items, they stated 10-25 business days. It has been 35 business days so I disputed the transaction with my credit card company after trying to reach the seller again. The website is also no longer loads.

She canceled some orders on 10/1/22 and said within 2-3 weeks she would refund! Never refunded and ended up filing charge backs with mostly sezzle for over 60 transactions of pre ordered shoes right before end of year. Sezzle opened disputes against her right around 1/4/23. But I’m out shoes I returned to her that I paid cash for and she gave me gift cards. I used them on pre order shoes and she never even produced these shoes from the China manufacturer that she owes her, Sandy, over 500k! So the monkey feet owner just vanished and won’t refund or respond to emails

Went online searching for Barbour vest as birthday gift for my son. Gallyons Country Shop came up after a search with the product I was looking for. I made the purchase and my credit card was billed $63.13. After 4 days of no shipping notice I emailed Gallyons to inquire about shipping and change the ship to address on the order. No response from Shop. Each of next two successive days I emailed again abount shipping date with no response. The Shop website does not provide a phone number so did some searching online and found that Gallyons of Oklahoma City is considered a scam and not a legitimate business.

Good Evening,

There is a Contest in which people can design a free logo for Hochatown. Hochatown is local to the McCurtain County Broken Bow Area from which I was raised.

In the entry form it states that Hochatown will have all legal rights to the usage of the logo and no rights will be retained from the artist. The town can use the logo in anything it wants. (Merchandise, advertising, etc..)

I see no winning prize for this contest except "you get to say you made it" which is worth nothing as a fellow creator.

The creators have a Facebook group of which this was discussed. The said it was a donation on the artist part. That there is no prize other than a volunteering.

THE FACTS:

Hochatown in the past year alone has experienced a 145% increase in travel spending compared to 2019.

The Oklahoman.com says Some are witnessing it as "the next Branson Missouri". As well as the Choctaw Nation is set to break ground on a new resort hotel and casino this spring. $165 million

Quoted from Mitch McDaniel, a local business owner. "The tourism footprint in McCurtain County is at least $200 Million. It used to be a tenth of that"

The fact is that this is hochatown creating a brand identity for itself. Brands require artists that work over how itshould be Displayed/Advertised/Intriguing to the population. In time there will have to be a department dedicated to this exact need. This is NOT just a simple contest. No one is taking it seriously.

If someone enters (that is not me) I want them to be informed about that decision and for that person to be compensated.

They are saying that this contest is a donation.

If it was a true donation then it would be between the artist and the board instead of holding a contest where there is no end prize. That is the literal definition of a contest!

At the same time someone participating in this does not have to give their rights up for this. They can retain the property and still have it be the logo for Hochatown. Digital or actual. In the end since they own those writes of usage. It is owned by thetown. Theirs to put on merchandise. Theirs to advertise. Theirs to present. The artist? You get a pat on your back.

I called it a scam at first but let me revise myself. It's similar but a scam means it is a dishonest or illegal plan or activity, esp. one for making money. They were completely honest about not having any kind of compensation/prize.

So would this be considered Fraud?

In law, fraud is an intentional deception to secure unfair or unlawful gain, or to deprive a victim of a legal right. Fraud can violate civil law or criminal law, or it may cause no loss of money, property, or legal right but still be an element of another civil or criminal wrong.

Sincerely,

Concerned Graphic Designer
