The scammer told me about a digital marketing website to make an extra $200 a week.

She was training me how to do the business. We started small me putting in $100 in this marketing app. You just click on merchandise so that it can be given more clicks and more likely to buy as you do that you make commission. It’s kinda complicated but my trainer walked me through the whole process.

So the first two days you need to complete 3 tasks/ day to make $200 plus commission. I ended up putting in $185 and recovered my money and made an additional $224. It took a couple days to get my money out because it’s crypto that you have to convert to dollars using the Venmo app. When I did get my money I felt like OK this is legitimate even though it was a little bit skeptical still.

So I tried again I put in $100 to begin and started clicking on the products to promote them. Sometimes you get what’s called a super order. Where are the product that you’re promoting cost more than the money that you have in your account so the first product cost $500. I only had 100 so I had to put another 400 in. Then I kept going and had another one that cost $800. I didn’t have $800 so my trainer was trying to help me figure out how I could get $800 like by using my credit cards or what about asking a family member. I started getting concerned and started thinking this was more like gambling or maybe a scam but I wanted my money out. So I scraped together and transferred money and got the $800. Then I kept going doing the digital marketing and I had another super order where I needed to put in another $700, at this point, I was freaking out because I didn’t have the money.

I had to ask my husband to help me and he was really worried about me because I was crying and having a lot of anxiety at this point. He gave me the money thinking that we would be getting the money out. So I was on the last part before I could withdraw the money and I got another super order so I contacted customer service and was telling them how worried I was and I needed to get my money out and they assured me that there’s no way I would get another super order. They said getting one or two is like so lucky and it’s so amazing There’s no way I would get another one. But I did the last one was for $3400. I definitely didn’t have that kind of money so I had no choice but to say no. That I could not produce that much money I had already given $2000. So my trainer urged me to continue and even told me she would give me $500 of her own money. Which she never does because she’s had people steal her money before and kept on trying to get me to give more money. I called my family at this point my mother and my brother and they were both telling me stop it. It’s a scam stop doing it. I contacted the customer service and told him I’m unable to pay that money and I wanted my money out they assured me if I paid the $3400 then I would be able to get my money out. They could not return my money until I finish the task you’re supposed to do three different task per day. I was only on my first tasks for the day. I called the police and reported them I called my bank and tried to get the money back saying it was fraud. They wouldn’t help me. The police told me to get a lawyer I also called cash app and Venmo well I messaged their support and they said they don’t return funds for any reason so long story short, I am out $2000 and feel like I’ve been taken advantage of and I’m very angry, confused, and very disappointed. I feel like I didn’t deserve this and the first time that I did it I made money so I didn’t think it was a scheme I would’ve stopped, but it was impossible to come up with that kind of money so they tricked me.

veefly claims to help service your youtube videos to google ads, to help you gain viewers and exposure. They include your organic views in your campaigns and claim these views as their own, and provide fake views on top to get to the promised number of views upon purchase. You can later lose these views and get flagged by youtube for fradulent activity, ending up in severe punishment to your account. They claim to be legitimate and work with google and claim to be "BBB certified" and this seems to not be the case.

I was seeking alternatives to start a legitimate online business. Rainmaker Challenge appeared on my newsfeed on Facebook. I watched the very long promotional video that makes a lot of promises, especially their money-back guarantee. The issue with this, is that you have to finish the 7 day challenge to really understand if you want to proceed with the program. Their refund policy is only for the 2nd day. Also, you don't get access to what is promised on the video. You have to continue to pay during the billing cycle. So, the first 2 payments that are charged to your credit card isn't for the full program. However, that do not have this clear intentionally.

My designated representative during this engagement was identified as Beth from Florida, with no specified last name. Communication with Beth primarily occurred through text messages, where she provided daily instructions.

On the second day of my participation in the Rainmaker Challenge program, I formally communicated my decision to discontinue involvement, expressing dissatisfaction with the program's failure to uphold the commitments articulated in their promotional videos on social media. It has come to my attention that the program employs a strategy of upselling during the checkout billing phase, departing substantially from the program initially presented. Such conduct is indicative of a bait-and-switch tactic.

In light of these concerns, I am inclined to believe that the Rainmaker Challenge program targets individuals facing financial challenges, particularly those earnestly seeking legitimate business opportunities, potentially including the unemployed. Given my current financial circumstances, where I find myself without income, I am particularly vulnerable to such deceptive practices.

To address this matter, I initiated contact with the company, formally requesting a full refund for two charges on my ******** credit card, totaling $74.00 and $197.00. Unfortunately, despite multiple attempts via email and their designated customer service channel, the only response received has been an automated acknowledgment assuring imminent communication, which, as of now, remains unfulfilled.

Given the aforementioned circumstances and the company's non-responsive behavior, I am compelled to lodge a formal complaint against them for what I perceive as unethical business practices. It is disconcerting to witness a company engaging in practices that exploit individuals seeking to improve their lives through legitimate means, especially those with limited financial resources who place their trust in such entities promoted on social media.

I get numerous calls from a fraud company called ENG Listings, trying to scam small businesses by "verifying" them on Google for payment. I already am verified on Google through my website. They call 6-12 times a day. They leave a 1800 number to opt out, but the call fails every time I call to opt out. There are multiple articles and forums discussing how ENG is a fraudulent/scam company and they have no connection with Google whatsoever.

I paid for a Shopify store from www.GoWeBuild.com, presented to me by their sales person, Deigo Lozano. I gave them $20,000 for the store. I was told they would need an extra $10,000 a month to scale the store, which I planned on using multiple credit charge cards to cover. During on-boarding, their specialist, Kelley McNeil said I could only use one card, to which I told her I only had a $1000 limit for - if only able to use one card; i.e. this might not work. She then said I could continue with the store purchase and they can start running it for me for only $1000 (from the one card), and as the limit increases -- we would scale the store. I have this in emails sent to me.

Wouldn't you know days later she and WeBuild charged my card for over a $1000. When I approached her about it she said she needs $10,000 again or this wont work. I said okay let me get a refund. She ghosted me and never responded.

When I reached out to the GoWeBuild President, Eric McNeil, and original salesperson Diego Lozano, they both did not respond. That is... until the next week when I charge-backed the now undelivered Shopify store, then they responded and said they wanted to resolve the problem. Diego and Eric said they would give me a full refund if I reversed the chargeback status, as it was hurting their account. In good faith, I reversed the chargeback, and once they received the money they never refunded me. Leaving me without my $20,000, the chargeback removed from their account, and me now maxed out on my credit cards, with nothing to show for it.
