Originally noticed on Instagram. but later went online, due to lure of Jenna Bush Hagar and "relief of chronic pain." Pricing was confusing and thought I purchased $40, with a "free" bottle, but was charged $239.99. Tried to pass on a second offer for CBD oil, but a second transaction charged $59.99 which I did not want/purposely order. Email receipt was very void of information except my own. Have had 3 emails with "customer service." on day after purchase. Stated already shipped on Monday when order was place Sunday night so cannot cancel., but I could return the "package." They did supposedly stop "furture" mails, which I did not sign up for. I had already canceled my credit card on Sunday evening, the night before. Called now provided number Monday evening; was on hold, which seemed real, then call ended.

The Company advertised an alternative form to bingo. Made it look like a dance party and bingo session in one. They advertised through Facebook and Instagram. Targeted me on both. They also have a YouTube channel which I checked out which on the surface appeared legitimate. I purchase tickets for myself and my sister-in-law $30 each for a total of $60. Once we arrived in Philadelphia on October 26, the building was vacated. The building was under complete restoration / renovation on every floor. According to Google maps there was supposed to be a parking lot. The building currently in compasses the entire block as well as the parking lot that is shown on Google maps. When I tried to contact bingo Loco, they initially informed me that they could not have any contact till Monday between the hours of 10 AM to 5 PM. I contacted them again Monday to state that their event did not take place at the address I was given and I wish to have a refund. They informed me that all sales are final and they could not issue me a refund. They refused to speak on the fact that the address they sent me to was to a building that is under complete renovation on every floor. I informed them that this is a scam and that I would be reporting them. The only form of contact is through Facebook messenger according to their website.

Thank you, Better Business Bureau. I appreciate any assistance.

Sincerely, Theresa Gettle

Driving long distance, decided to stop in Ohio. I read online that Ohio allows recreational marijuana. Googled search and came across a dispensary that was not far from my hotel. I sent a text asking how late they are open. The person replied 24 hours. They offered delivery. I told them okay I'll contact when I arrive to my hotel. Got to my hotel, placed the order online on the website, I got through Google. Website looks very legit by the way. Placed the order sent the person a message to let them know the order was placed. He then asked for payment through Apple Cash. I sent the payment. He then asked for additional $100 for "insurance for delivery to be refunded upon delivery " I fussed him out about it telling him I believe he is scamming me. He said I should trust him it's not like that. I sent the $100 for his "insurance" he said he was on the way to arrive in 15 minutes. Then he sent another text, asking for another $100 and that's when I knew for a fact he was scamming. When I called to find out what the issue is and why he stole from me, he began to say he's a "dangerous person" and he "has a AK47" and he "wants to and will have sex with Me" ... my husband intervened and took the phone from me. He tried to reason with the guy and said if you can't deliver then refund me my money. The person continued with the empty threats. Beware of this so called company. If you're like me where you work hard for yours, and you enjoy a little recreational fun, only trust the dispensaries in your hometown. Not in another state especially not in Columbus Ohio

Used for a mobile unlock service for an iPhone 12, had to pay an initial fee of $15 to see if phone was eligible and met the requirements to unlock. The phone passed said requirements so then an additional $50 fee to unlock the phone was paid. They stated they can no longer unlock the phone and will not issue a refund

The site appears to use pictures and descriptions of legitimate products belonging to a different shop. But instead provide products that are cheap, blurry prints on material similar to a thin Halloween costume. One item couldn't even be considered a facsimile. The company does not pay for return shipping, which turned out be nearly double the cost what I paid. They only issue refunds once the items are received by them. The only other option is to keep the items, which aren't worth keeping, for a 30% refund. Regardless of any option I select I lose. No reviews are allowed or an ability leave pictures of what you receive to warn potential customers.

I purchased a Pinlock Insert for my helmet through their website and I never received my item. I have contacted them several time and never heard back from them. They gave a fake tracking number so Paypal believes they shipped the item and are not refunding me. They are scammers and I do not want other people to get scammed.

I was buying some laying hands off of Anthony's poultry farm. I was buying (6). I purchased six hens with shipping included for $140. Supposedly he sent it to the shipping place and then shipping

(global express now ) contacted me and said I owe an additional $230 for a thermal crate which at this time I did not know that this was the new scam going around. I did not pay the $230 but I did pay the $140 for the laying hens (chickens) and shipping. With that being said I talk to a lawyer. I talked to the police and I talked to several other Farm owners on Facebook and they said it was a scam as well that there is no thermal crate that cost $230 these people were rude and threatening. I have all messages between us and Anthony poultry farm and the shipping named (global express mail). I believe global express mail was also in on this scam and I will be following an I believe global express mail was also in on this scam and I will be filing a report on them as well.. They did not answer the phone as a business or talked like a businesses and discussion went well into night hours which I find also alarming since supposedly FedEx was a branch that they supposedshipped through..allI want is my $140 or my chickens I'll settle for either one.

Ordered 3 water bottles from Hitch.com equaling 167.00. They posted a release date for the bottles then a month later said the order would be shipped in the next couple of months, I reached out several times but they would not respond. There is no phone number, then they sent an email reporting that the order had been cancelled and that they refunded the money but that was not true. I have emailed several times about the order/refund and do not get an answer.

I ordered a product from the company Greenic. Since then, I have had 3 attempts from different companies try to take money out of my account in the amount of $135. I tried to contact the company but there is no way to reach out to them. I have not received the product that I ordered as of now. I have shut down the card that I used and had to order another one.

I was scammed on the afternoon of October 5 for 100$ via zelle transfer through Chase bank to a person named Phillip Hiser. I wanted to buy his concert ticket and after I transferred the money to him, he disappeared. I found out about this guy from a group chat on social media when he was putting out a concert e-ticket. After I finished transferring the money, he denied that he had received the money and wouldn't transfer the ticket to me, and disappeared after that. I couldn't get through to him on the phone call. Currently, his zelle account no longer exists.

Scammer (instagram handle @traceylyn31) posted a comment saying they had concert tickets available. I reached out to them via Direct Messaging and confirmed two tickets were available at $50 each. They requested the money to be sent via Apple Cash. A phone number was provided but the payment did not go through. Then they provided an email address to send the payment, which was successful. Upon receiving the payment, they informed me that tickets would be transferred via the Dice app, which is the official ticketing app for this concert. However, they requested an additional $46 for a "name change fee" to complete the transfer. Dice does not require an extra fee to transfer tickets and a name change is not required. Upon requesting that my money be refunded, they offered to lower the "name change fee" to $26. When I refused and asked for a refund, they stopped responding.

The scammers have a nice website and also a Facebook page. I thought that I was buying a 1967 Chevrolet Chevelle and talking to a guy named Dave ***** A deal was made contract signed, money wired to a Stallion Cargo AZ, LLC. After this all conversations and contact stopped. The phone number went dead. I called and spoke with the Ardmore, Oklahoma police and was advised that the location at 105 Michelin Road is a Pest Control company and not any dealership. I left a voice message with a police detective for Ardmore City.

I ordered from the vendor by phone that was listed online. I was a repeat customer from some years back. She took my order, and I gave her the credit card information. The order was placed on Sept. 3rd, 24 and charged right away. It is now Oct. 1st, and I have called and texted several times asking when I should get my product. She won't return my calls or text. I discovered through the internet, that I am not the only one complaining about this business. It would seem this is a common practice with this business owner. I came across several reviews of the same issue, charged cards and no product sent.

They were once a great business to work with, but those days are gone. Apparently, the daughter of the original owner has taken over her mother's business. It looks that 2021 was the last time they had good reviews. I want to support small businesses like this but not at the cost of scam, liars and fraudsters.

Sandra Busta advertised herself on Craigslist as a graphic designer who designs logos, and she has a website with several examples of her work. I asked her to design a logo for me, and she said it would be $99, and she accepts payment through Zelle. I sent her the money, and she wrote back two e-mails saying she received it and was working on my logo. However, when I did not hear from her for a while, I began e-mailing her to ask when it would be done, and she never e-mailed back. It has now been several weeks, and she has stolen my $99 and not given me any designs.
