Searched online for a Fitbit. Was directed to an item that looked like it was from Costco. I purchased the item for $62.99 and was sent a verification email and tracking number from what looked like Costco. For some reason I couldn't open the order summary, but I wasn't unduly concerned. Three days later I still hadn't received a shipping update, so I checked the tracking number. It wasn't a valid number. I then noticed at the bottom of the confirmation email, the customer service email was [email protected]. I checked my credit card and found a charge for $68.03 to a Middleton, UK business. I immediately canceled my credit card and reported fraud to the card company. Note: No telephone number was listed on the confirmation email, but your form requierd that a number be entered, so I put 999-999-9999.

PayPal was used to pay for the purchase. PayPal account name of the scammer is August Gustafsson. I am reporting the fraud to PayPal.

Attenpted to purchase 2 advent Swarovski calendars. Took a month and followed all over the world fir shipping. They notified me it arrived. No package. They have emailed me and offered 40 percent back as they said it was stolen from my porch. They have no proof or picture of delivery. Refused to tell what company delivered and my ring doorbell recorded no deliveries that day and i was home attge time they said it arrived.

The scammer is offering Advent calendars. I never received the merchandise. The tracking site showed the merchandise was delivered, which was a lie. I entered the email address on the internet and discovered there are many victims of this scam.

Used the tactic of a sale price on a normally very expensive high chair. Used a website that very closely resembles Costco website. Even has a login option to log into your costco account but of course you couldnt actually log in. They used other forms of payment such as afterpay to make you feel more secured about your info. They sent an order confirmation. With a way to track your order. They very quickly answered my email saying they could not cancel my order. The next day the website didnt work and you couldnt track your order.

False advertisements, this is not the official "Costco site." I made a purchase on a site listed as Costco via Facebook marketplace I notice the description did not match my actual order. Therefore, I looked up Costco number to confirm my purchase. The representative advised me that this was not a Costco order number and they do not carry the item purchased. I requested immediate cancelation and release of pending debit of funds at 11:30am est. Im still waiting on a follow up from the support email.

Lady messaged me through Facebook for a job at home making $50/hr and told me to go onto WhatsApp. I did go on WhatsApp and she asked normal employment questions and I am naive then asked for 220 dollars for a printer sent to me by her. I paid like a dummy and after I paid her she blocked me on everything.

Asked to choose three icons on the screen. The third one said that I had won some Le Creuset cookware. Just had to pay about $9.00 shipping. I hope they don't charge me anything more.

A business claiming to be Costco, said I won a free greenhouse. Just had to pay approximately 9+ dollars for shipping and handling. I entered my visa credit card numbers and it wouldn't let me complete the transaction, so I called their customer service line and was told I wouldn't receive confirmation for my transaction for 2-3 days. Long enough probably to take my credit card information and use it. I had to use the amount on this form as $900.00 because it wouldn't allow me to put the correct amount lost as $9.00. Also, I put my e-mail address in lieu of their address because I don't know their (the scammers) e-mail, as it wasn't listed.

I thought I was buying a foldable treadmill cheaper than the TikTok shop. First it said it was Costco wholesale and after I purchased the website changed to bottledjoybottles.com I checked my email for receipt information and an estimated ship date and it said my payment was sent to Devon Williams via PayPal!!!!!!!!!!

They are advertising and yet they reach out but don’t respond to you. I tried calling multiple times got disconnected and then I got connected one time got set up when they told me it was gonna be an hour and a half plus long interview I told them that I had a doctors appointment at noon because most interviews take 2030 minutes, they said I could reschedule but then I got an email saying I was no longer eligible the advertise $18 an hour. That’s not the case they started at 16 it’s false advertisement.
