I was contacted via a mailer from Smart Energy offering me a $100 Visa card! The mailer was addressed to, get this "BEN DOVER" I called immediately call was answered by a gentleman and I informed him that I had not requested information about SmartEnergy and was not interested in SmartEnergy or their Visa card and to kindly remove me from their mailing list. He transferred me to customer service to a woman with an Oriental accent who promised to remove me from their mailing list. I'm filing this complaint to make you aware of a situation as well as proof that I want nothing to do with their scam to have for my file in case as well as to inform the ScamPulse.com if you are not already aware. I am a retired senior and wonder if they may perhaps be targeting Seniors in case SmartEnergy fraudulently tries to takeover as my Electric supplier. I am printing a copy of this for my files. Thank You 10/17/2024

Okay so they just kept upselling this ev rebate in the final sale of the price and guaranteeing that she would get it because of her credit score. Then they finally got a price negotiated and that the rebate wasn’t eligible because the car was a 2023 and not a 22 3 people had shortcomings the manager the salesman and the finance manager. All to get us to sign the deal and the paperwork on Sunday the 29th, Then today the 1st of October they called saying that the rebate was denied and that she had to return the vehicle due to the lack of payment they put the 4 thousand dollar rebate as the down payment in the contract and did not inform the party involved that if it was denied then they had to pay it in full. This dealership is one full of deceit and lies and zero morality. They included things in the car that were not removable and we were forced to include in the price of the vehicle. Not to mention the amount of attitude the finance manager was giving during the entire exchange saying she was helping us saying that she saw her daughter in the party because she was going to school. In fact she was trying to upsell a warranty but knew nothing about electric vehicles let alone a gym Also the dealership had failed to mention a full crack in the windshield and was trying to make the party pay for the repairs when it was their fault and not being open with the party , The lack of obvious oversight and ill preparation as well as telling a client that they would have a rebate and not even having it approved is fraud in the utmost degree They were just happy to have a sale now they are out 4 thousand dollars and are voiding the contract they agreed upon and lied about in every sense

Statewise Energy claims to be a natural gas provider in California and the agent approached me by stating that PG&E utility is running inspections on gas meters and sent out alerts. They claimed to be a provider who is associated with PGE and signed up people in the neighborhood for their gas service and did not disclose information about usage limitations, and other conditions.

Florida Carwash located at, 2463 E Florida Ave, Hemet, CA 92544. Has an ongoing scam, where if you attempt to pay for the service of a car wash with a debit card/ credit card it will charge you but will not activate the car wash. This is an onging KNOWN issue that the owner has done nothing to resolve for up to 3 years acording to reviews online, There are many dissatisfied customers who have been scammed by this service and its not right they have been continuing to rip hard working americans off who just want to wash their vehicles.

A call came in about a rebate due to me from the electric company and they wanted me to call a number to receive this rebate. So, I called WPS and was told by customer care that there was no rebate promotion.

My wife and I were looking at Washer and Dryers on Offer up. And we can accross this business, that posed as "going of out business" and giving 70% off "liquidation sale"

We saw a post of a "Washer AND Dryer for $353"

Within budget! So we tried to contact, but wouldn't get ahold of anyone.

So me and my brother who has a truck, decided to go over to the store. Which looked like it was going out of business. It didn’t even have a sign, but "liquidation Sale signs" everywhere.

So we go in and try to find out Washer and Dryer we saw On Offer up.. can't find it. Plus none of the appliances look new, like they said they were.

So long story short, we saw another set we like, that we also saw on offer up for a similar prices. But the price in store was drastically different. DOUBLED.

When we asked one of the workers, he said "no its each"

When we showed him the offer up posting that said "Washer AND Dryer for $497" i think it was.

He said "no its each.. did you confirm?"

"I said i tried to contact, but no one responded"

Employee: well i wouldnt have come in then, let that be a learning lesson..

Now here i feel disrespected, so i said

"It says AND for this price"

And the guy starts to get verh defensive and AGGRESSIVE and starts cussing us out. And trying to fight my brother..

So naturally, we told him to calm down.

And there was a huge exchange that happened.. all the customers left and it was just us two agruing with the two employees there.. while the one was being the aggressor..

When confronted with going out of business signs

The employee said "we just say that to get customers in"

And so i told him "you do the same with offer up and being very misleading"

He actually said it again!! "We put that to get customers in"

When we called them scammers, he got super aggressive, more than he already was.

My brother said "no wonder you are going out of business."

And the guy said " nope! We just did $10,000 in sales this month. What did you do?"

Long story short, we encourage other stand byers to not go into the store because of how aggressive staff got when confronted about price. And how they wanted to fight and there shady business practices. With their NOT "new" products..

So i told them i would report them and here it is.

He didn’t seem to care.

He was really a jerk and shouldnt be around many people. He seems very unstable.

Also quick note, i was re looking at all the posts on offer up to report him on offer up. Alot of the photos posted on offer up are not even of their store...

So it really is just a good "too good to be true" tactic to get people in store. But I dont know how they would sell any with such horrible manners.

I googled a number for Youtube to pay my bill. I spoke to a man with an Indian accent, Michael. He asked what kind of phone I had to look up my account. He told me to give him remote access to my phone. He went into my bank account. He said he had to open an account in my name to refund $640.00. He attempted to withdraw $4000.00. I contacted my bank and closed the account and opened a new one.

I received an email saying it was from Target and they are giving away free Stanley cup to their customer. They had the date of my most recent shopping experience at target. They also said I only had to pay for the shipping which was only $6.99. I try to pay with my prepaid debit but it was decline. So I used my credit card. I received a call, text and email from my credit company about a fraudulent scam transaction on my card. They were on it right away when I called to let them know that I did not approve those transaction on my card. Please be care with this scam for a free Stanley cup from Target.

A strange package with my personal home address shipped UPS with a next day shipping instruction on it - a tracking code of 1Z4192XR011227 . I did not order a package of anything and the last letter of my name was incorrect. The only thing I remember doing the night before was setting up an account on ebay for the 1st time in order to sell items. I have only set up an account and do not use ebay often. This strange package came the very next day. I have been keeping close watch on my accounts and do not see any activity so far. I have also set up security alerts. I wanted to make sure someone knows about these strange packages being sent. UPS could not track the number to a person. I sent it back as a refusal.

I thought I was on the bottom of a Spectrum website, and found Lifeline, I think I clicked on a link, and filled out an application, and used a password for government assistance, and put that code in. I called 855-456-0112. Today, I got a call from a foreigner, Charlie White. He said to buy two Target gift cards for $200 each, and then my cable bill will be half off every month. He said if I bought the cards today, they would send a $100 Target gift card to me to use.

A man claiming he was from ComEd told me they're giving out free items to ComEd customers. So he asked me for my phone # to look up my account. He also got my account # but not my address or passwords or anything like that. It was outside the Pete's Fresh Market at 2333 W Madison St, Chicago, IL 60612.

A google sponsored website (http://www.energy-payments.ltd/comed/energy) came up when I searched for ComEd through a google search on my iPhone labeled as Energy Payments. I called the number thinking I was calling comed to change service on a rental property the person that answered Benjamin said he was with comed and said I had to pay a security deposit of 299.99 by credit card plus the balance due on the account of $14. He asked for all my personal information SSN, Phone, Birthdate and Driver's license number. He charged my card for 311.49 and when I called back he said it couldn't be refunded. His direct number was 832-380-8850
