I ordered the walk fit app yesterday the first month payment came off my credit card and I NEVER received the program plan. I’ve attempted to email them to tell them I never got the plan and all they keep responding is what is the email on the account I give the same email they mail me my receipt but they say the email is not found? Then how did you send me a receipt at this point I want to cancel and have my $10.31 refunded I don’t want the plan at all they are scammers!!! I’ve reached out to my credit card disputes dept and notified them of this also!!!

I was introduced to her by friend she was calling and face timeing me. She act like she was my friend she pretend to help me. But she was trying to get me to get loans. An she said she was going to pay the loan the back. She was asking for money by cash app and apply pay. An asking for my banking information to transfer to her account. She act like she was going to help but really she is a con on the lose. They are out here taking people money talking bout they got a lot of clients. They only call on pay day and when you get your taxes and child support money. They even want you to apply for loans and credit cards. They claim to want to help you get a car and a house and decent job and a family and finish college. An say you are going to get your money back once the work is done. They said they are doing god work they dont get paid its free work. They said it is in god work.

Concern Over Potentially Unlawful Raffle Conducted by Public Figure “Chiquis” (Chiquis Rivera)

I am writing to raise concern about an online raffle currently being promoted by public figure and artist Chiquis Rivera, also known as “Chiquis” on Instagram. Approximately eight weeks ago, she began advertising a raffle where participants could buy a $100 ticket for a chance to win two vehicles.

The raffle has been consistently marketed via her official Instagram account to a large following. Originally, the drawing was advertised to take place on April 20th (4/20), but on April 15th, she posted a last-minute update extending the raffle and moving the drawing date to May 5th (5/5).

As of this writing:

• No nonprofit organization has been disclosed as the beneficiary of this raffle.

• There is no public mention of where the proceeds are going.

• The odds of winning have not been shared.

• There is no registration number or documentation provided to show compliance with California raffle laws.

According to the California Attorney General’s Office, only eligible nonprofit organizations that have been in operation for at least one year and registered with the Registry of Charitable Trusts may conduct raffles. Furthermore, raffles cannot be conducted or operated online—only advertised there—and the drawing must be conducted in accordance with the law.

If this raffle is being operated without a licensed nonprofit entity and without compliance with California law, it may be considered unlawful gambling or a deceptive practice.

I’m submitting this concern in good faith with the hope that it can be reviewed for potential consumer risk or legal noncompliance.

Thank you for your time and attention.

Company took order info., kept me informed on shipping, but then said it was delivered. Home all day, never received item. Contacted them via their support with no reply. I have had similar experiences with some Chinese companies. They send bogus shipping info, then claim they delivered when they never sent, but take your money.

Bought items from a Instagram verified business called SHOPFORRETAIL.LLC **** https://www.instagram.com/shopforretail.llc ****

The business uses text messages and Instagram messaging to ensure that the products all authentic, and will provide a full refund. Paid the business @ 708-901-0054 and received 2 fake tracking numbers from FedEx. The items were never delivered and the business sent a third fake tracking number. Asked for a full refund and the business stopped responding. This business is a scam with fake Instagram followers, fake pictures of products, and a fake verified Instagram account. The business operates 2 other Instagram accounts all with SHOPFORRETAIL. Do not buy or send any money to this scamming Instagram account.

I saw an ad on Instagram appearing to be from The Hudson's Bay Department Store. The photo showed some very nice boots and said they were on clearance for $69. It assured me there was a money back guarantee if I didn't like the boots. And the company said that they would deliver the boots in the next 2 days. I ordered the boots and paid with my Visa card.

The boots didn't come for a long time, but I received a couple of emails claiming that shipments were slow due to a high volume of orders. Eventually the boots arrived and were dropped off at the lobby of my building without me being notified.

When I opened the package, I almost started laughing! the boots are of such poor quality, if I hadn't paid $69 I would have thought it was a good joke. They look more like cheaply made bedroom slippers than outdoor boots and I'm sure that if I wore them outside even once, they would completely fall apart. There was no packing slip or invoice or paperwork of any kind in the package.

I emailed the company (thinking it was part of the Bay) and told them I was dissatisfied with their product and would like to return it. I did receive a reply, and was told that I would have to supply photos of the boots as they had arrived and proof of purchase. I sent a copy of my Visa statement and a photo of the boots as they appeared on arrival.

A day later I was told that they photos were "broken" and needed to be sent again. I complied. I was then offered a 15% refund or I could purchase another item from their "catalogue" for $9.99. (as if that was a great deal) I told them these options were not appropriate and that I would like a full refund.

I then receieved 2 other emails stating that I would have to return these boots TO CHINA and at my own expense, along with 1) A valid track and trace code of the return shipment.

2) Proof of return (for example, a receipt from the shipping service).

If they then felt that I had a point in returning the boots, they would let me know if I'd be issued a refund.

The scammer came across as a shoe seller. After sending the money he gave me a tracking number from FedEx that required a signature. I tracked once it was not delivered to my house. I called FedEx and they were able to provide a receipt that proved it wasn’t delivered to my address. Let the seller know he agreed to resend a pair of shoes. Again got a tracking number only this time it didn’t require a signature so therefore FedEx was not able to help me much as far as sending a receipt. Made the seller aware again the shoes did not come to my address. This was a couple days ago3/15/2025 still waiting for a response form Rodoflo ***** @ 702-490-6182

On 12/15/24, I saw a beautiful black leather coat with faux fur on the inside that tied around the waist and it was starting to get cold and i need a coat.

And it was i placed my order on December 24th and paid extra for express delivery i ordered the coat and a cute outfit for new years eve and some slippers. I then place another order for 4 pair of jeans 2 for myself and 2 for my daughter spending another 45.00 in addition to the first 40 and also paid for express delivery was suppose to receive my order in 7 to 14 days its now 3/16/2025 I've reached out to them first time after new years i have over two dozen emails between them and myself the first dozen in regards to not receiving my orders and the other dozen in regards to me still not yet receiving my refund thats i was suppose to receive in 15 to 25 days snd its been 2 months I've just decided to just take this as a loss.

It seems that Brenda Gaytán, the owner of BrensJewelry is selling counterfeit products that she claims are 14k gold.

However after a family member of mine purchased a necklace worth 600$, and this was with a "discount" for knowing her personally, the necklace rubbed off into a black color. After confronting her about it she said she'd take it back to run tests on it and returned it to my family member saying it must've been because it was underwater or some chemical was added via my family member, neither of which were true.

Brenda Gaytán blamed my family member for the tarnishing. However after taking it to a pawn shop and a jeweler we found out the necklace was actually stainless steel and was gold plated with a lower quality gold than advertised. Brenda refused to refund us and offered my family member a lesser value piece of jewelry that was likely fake also. She continues to sell on her page and does not pay taxes on it.

On Feb 4 I went to buy a walking pad from an ad I saw on Instagram. Not realizing this page was a scam I decided to purchase 2 because it was a “great price”. The very next day (Feb 5) as I am cooking in my kitchen I notice my apple account is being charged. When I went to look at my Apple Cash account there were multiple transactions made to sports arena play. The only thing I could think of was the treadmill walk paid purchased. Once I went and looked at the email for the “order and shipment” I realize at the end it states “ If you have any questions, reply to this email or contact us at [email protected]

The page advertising was zzenshop

Ordered Boston Scally Caps from instagram ad. Never received them. Instead of refunding me, the company resent the order which I again never received.

- Loganville, GA, USA • Feb 23, 2025

They had an advertisement on Instagram and I clicked their link to make a purchase. After I made the purchase and went back to look at the comments it said this is a scam. I called my bank to inform them of what had just happened. This site shouldn’t be allowed to even create a business on such popular social media platforms.

- Abilene, TX, USA • Feb 20, 2025

The original cost was to be $39.95 with shipping and sales taxes. Which was not calculated by seller until purchase was made. I saw that the cost was higher due to the sales taxes being $11.68 along with a hidden fee of .80 for insurance. The sales taxes should’ve only been $3.30 at Texas .825 % . I tried to cancel the order the next day but they said it was already shipped. I reached out to PayPal to dispute the order and received the tax and insurance back but not the full payment amount. The item arrived 3 weeks later only to be the wrong size and color. Disputed it again with the company and PayPal only to be asked to give it to someone else and accept $8. PayPal told me the item was “close enough “ in description for them to deny my claim. The seller has ceased correspondence with me as of February 15, 2025.
