I purchased a Vanity from Banelly Vazquez-Serrano via instagram

small business page (myglamco) on 07/10/22. The payment was

sent via Zelle (07/11/22) for the amount of $433 and was accepted

by the seller. The Zelle phone number provided by the seller was

661-861-3646. Seller committed to providing their Belleza Vanity

within 1-2 weeks of purchase/payment. The estimated wait time

of 1-2 weeks was changed several times by the seller, which

delayed the product by over 7 weeks. All updates I received

about the product were only because I contacted the seller to

inquire about the delays. On 08/29/22, I sent a message to the

seller asking for a full refund of the product due to the seller not

providing accurate arrival times. The seller agreed to provide a

full refund within 7-14 business days. The refund was never

received and neither was the vanity. The last communication with

the seller was on 10/07/22 and she fails to respond to all my

messages.

Scammer impersonated a high school athletic governing body called CIF (California Interscholastic Federation) and created an instagram account CIF.Championship with posts that were accurate game information, and a link in the bio to live stream the games. The posts had tagged schools and individuals that were competing. I went to the link and paid the $1, and it took me to another link that requested credit card information. I realized it was a scam when I received an email from MyLeanFit.com. I read the fine print on the website that stated the $1 was for 1day of streaming and after my credit card would be charged $59.99. This company has nothing to do with high school athletics and used the likeness of the CIF. I was able to cancel my subscription, but the email received didn't provide a link to cancel. I had to research that information myself.

This Instagram online store is taking money and not delivery products, they have no real contact information, And will not accept DMs about orders they send out fake tracking numbers, and never deliver products, I've placed my ordered and paid in full on December 23, 2022 as well as other customers that have not received any products. Please shut them down before they take anymore money from other people, they have been kicked off of Etsy as well.

Did you ever get your money back? I was scammed by this company as well. For $480.00 to no fault of my own. My boyfriend thought it was a trusted site because he saw his instagram and now I am having a hard time trying to get my money back

The company contacts people who are trying to promote their books on social media sites and offers promotional packages starting at $150. After you send them the link to your book and the money for the promotional package you want, they tell you your reviews will be ready in a few weeks. When you try to contact them after a few weeks, they will not respond to your messages. I contacted Venmo, the service I used to pay them and reported that Book Publicity did not provide the service I paid for and were scammers.

This Christina Williams took over my cousins Instagram account. They even made a video with her saying that ********* ******** business is legit and how much money she made. I “invested” $400 initially and was told I was receiving a return of 20k. But then I had to send more money to them for a “releasing fee”, which was $799.00. All this time I’m asking my cousin about it, also over instagram messages and she’s responding that is what she did. Then they asked me for IRS money up front before releasing the funds, but I realized that you can pay the IRS after money is received. I then called my cousins mother and she informed me her account was hacked.

Product was bad for my skin, and there is no money back guarantee. They did not list all their ingredients. I have unused product I can't use, and they basically said I was out of luck and will not take the product back. The cream is very poor quality and there are no studies to prove efficacy. They were very deceptive in their ad, the actual amount of cream is a very small amount compared to the cost. Also, I found out that it is being sold on other platforms for even less money. Bottom line, they mailed me an inferior product and refuse to take it back. They made false claims about their product. This is a scam

Kathy Mcalphin commented nicely about my Texas home based baking business as I posted on Facebook day before Christmas Eve rti advise my local community that I was selling 1/2 dozen cookies at a local grocery store and reminded my local community. She them contacted me via Instagram messenger asking more questions about my Texas home based bakery and wanted to offer to set me up with a free website to increase my potential customers. So I let her advise me further by chatting with her about it. Then once she quoted me her pricing to set up website I decided I wasn't ready to proceed. Next she insisted that I needed to open up an active bitcoin account that same day because it was required for coding purposes for her to create a website. Next she advised only $50 was required to set up the bitcoin account and I also needed to download the Cash app and enter by debit card information to be able to transfer funds from my bank account to purchase bitcoin and then transfer funds to my bitcoin investment account. I did so but she failed to disclose that on each cash yransfer that a few dollars are automatically deducted off the top for transfer fees. So inorder to keep the bitcoin account open and active that I needed exact amount of funds to remain in the account. Everyday she would send me a text harassing me to make another withdrawal from my bank to offset the accrued fees. Each transfer of funds transactions were shown on my cash app and I called cash app directly to confirm with them that my bitcoin account was legitimate and Gabriel their representative confirmed each cash funds transfer and account were initiated by me. So I opened the vitcoun account on 12/23/22 - 12/31/22. Each transaction was confirmed directly through blockchain explorer as having been placed into my bitcoin account. I was beginning to get feeling I was being scammed because when I was ready to transfer my funds to cssh out she insisted I keep funds in account so my investment would increase. Then on 12/31/22 last transaction I authorized was when she started saying that I couldn't transfer my funds until I paid $333 more for IRS taxes. I did my own research about paying taxes immediately and found conflicting information which Saud this was not the case and any bitcoin funds once confirmed could be traded and cashed out and immediately transferred. So she asked me to pay these taxes everyday and due to not having available funds I told her no several times. Finally on Sunday, January 1, 2023 she sent a final Instagram messenger text saying Thank you for the $600 God will provide you more, I was never in Texas Goodbye

I bought a sea glass decorative Christmas tree as a gift on November 21, 2022. The website said shipping would be 5-7 days. I tracked the order for a month, and then the link for the tracking information no longer worked. I contacted customer support on the company's website, and they sent me a new link saying the package was en route in the US. It's now well past Christmas, and I still haven't received the package. I've sent 4 emails for a refund which have all been ignored.

I contacted beautyfiller.com on Instagram for a semiglutide pen at the cost of $500. They requested a Zelle transfer, after I send the money I got an email from a 3rd party shipping company Milestone Shipping asking for $250 dollar fee to deliver the package from BeautyFiller.com. the shipping company is http://milestoneshippingcenter.delivery

I did not pay the delivery fee, I contacted Beautyfiller.com on Instagram but I got blocked, and now I can't get my money back.

I was contacted by a girl on Instagram named Cali.

She said she did investments.

Then I sent her $54 for myself to receive more money in return, and she kept pressuring me to send more and more. I didn’t realize it until the whole group who scammed me would not issue me a refund.

They told me there were fees for being late, and fees to get a higher amount of money when I did not ask for that.

I also have names of people who were part of the scam.

Peter brown

Shawn Collins

Michael Getfield

Cali

They took over $1,000 dollars from me, and $600 of that was my disability money.

I was contacted on Insatgram by an artist who wanted my profile picture for a mural. I asked a lot of questions about personal infomation and he said they would not ask me for it. He also kept messaging me and doing the rush act. He said I needed to send my name, email and phone number to his financial team. They also asked for my bank name. I did not give any personal info like my account number or social security number. The person who texted me said I would receive $500 for the use of the picture, but I needed to send $1500 to the artwork specialist. They sent me copies of the check and said to do a mobile deposit. The account manager also kept texting me and rushing me to deposit the check. I didn't deposit the check because I didn't trust this and also my bank has a limit on mobile deposits. The bank info on the check is not right either. I checked the bank out and it is listed as closed. I also could not find it in the search that the ScamPulse.com has. Those are all the tactics that I can remember. I have copies of the checks in my email and also have the texts and conversations on Instagram if you need them.

I "purchased" a pair of Birkenstocks from a company called "Brand-sales" on Instagram. Everything about the site seemed legit, but upon receiving a confirmation email, the company logo seemed suspicious, so I started looking online for the logo. As it turns out, there is no "Brand-sales" website online. I reached out to the "company" and have been asking them where they are located, if they could send me a link of their website, and other questions to try to gather information regarding this company, and they have only emailed me back saying my order was taking a little while. They are assuring me that the shoes will be shipped out shortly but again, when I ask them where their company is located they cannot give me any answers.
