Ordered a hummingbird suncatcher off of a Facebook ad. Item showed up nothing close to the photo shown and broken in 3 areas. When I contacted the seller she offered to give me a 20% discount. This was after 2 attempts to get my money back. I cannot find the ad on Facebook nor the name of the “company.”

I was on Facebook and a person messaged me with items to sell for Christmas and I payed them via Apple Pay. Once they received the payment they blocked me completely. I do not know the person and unfortunately I cannot dispute it through my bank.

Purchased seat covers. Received email showing my order number. Then nothing for a few weeks...i reached out to their contact and received a bogus tracking number. By reviewing my order over the next couple of weeks from the original email i received, i was able to see the item moving through china, going through customs and eventually delivering to my address.

I never received the seat covers that i ordered

While on their website, i was able to chat to them and was told that their company makes custom cushions and their address was: **** ***** ****** ***** ***** **** ** ******

Scammer called me from seeing a motorcycle add that I placed on Cycle Trader. Scammer said interested in buying motorcycle but tried to get me to run an "ARC" report from autoreportscenter.com. I looked online and did not see this as a readily identifiable reporting organization on vehicle history. Eventually I saw a notice of this being a potential scam. I did not run the report and lost no money, just lost time on the phone with this person.

Contacted through multiple methods, Tinder/Snapchat/Onlyfans and guided to purchase content of an erotic nature under the auspices of custom generated content. Believe every contact was a sock-puppet account and pictures and videos provided were not of a dynamic and spontaneous nature. Pushes to continue tipping and bullying when no tips were offered as is standard.

I was offered $500 to use one of my social media pictures to create a mural. They gave me a phone number to text and they wanted to send me $2000 then have me send $1500 to the "artist" venmo account. I attempted to deposit the first check for $1000 but upon reviewing it I figured it would likely bounce and combined with the fact they wanted me to send the money before the check cleared I knew it was likely a scam. The check bounced and I was fined $5.

Thought I was purchasing a dog fence from stereodrip on Facebook. I used a credit card from my bank to purchase it. When the tracking number was received I noticed it was from China although the comments state it was coming from California. I received the package on 5/30/2023 and it was a scarf. The tracking number matches what they sent me. I have contacted the email address I provided to you asking for my money back, which is required of me to do if my bank will dispute the purchase. Later after seeing it was coming from China, I researched other comments on scams and so many others were scammed as well.

This is a lie. Maybe you did not do your job currently because I have been working with the company for past 5 months now including my sister and we get paid often.

I placed an item on Facebook marketplace, and I received a message from the scammer leaving a contact number (270-984-6505) saying she wanted to buy the item. When I returned the call, she did not answer, but texted me back immediately. She wanted to send me a six digit code to verify. I was actually selling an item. When I reach search this, I found out this was a scam, and I made a screenshot of the scam information, and sent it to her, telling her no. All contact then stopped.
