So, the seller on g2g.com who had a username of "Ultrafast" stated they had an in-game item for sell and would deliver ultrafast within 10 minutes. I paid for the service at 12:04 am and received a chat 30 minutes later that they do not have the item in stock. This is an absolute terrible business tactic to offer to sell something and take the money without verifying the item is in stock. I replied to the chat asking about my item and got no responses afterwards I also went through requested a refund through their online site but it is still pending the seller's response. This website needs to be investigated and shut down for unethical business practices.

Ordered a dress received the dress 3 weeks later. Dress way too small ordered it in the same size I always wear tried to return in the 7 day return window stated on the website and they told me they could only return 40% of the price I paid but would have to be put on a 6 month waiting list. Such a scam do not order from this site!!!

I was contacted an individual via Facebook who offered to sell me a used 2014 Jeep Grand Cherokee intake manifold with swirl valve actuators for $200, including shipping. After discussing the details, I agreed to the purchase and transferred the $200 to the seller via Zelle.

Shortly after the payment, I was contacted by a supposed shipping company claiming to handle the delivery. They informed me that I needed to pay an additional $100 as an “insurance fee,” which they claimed was refundable upon delivery.

When I attempted to make this second payment, my bank flagged the transaction as fraudulent and suspended my account due to suspected scam activity.

I immediately reached out to the seller to ask for a refund, but he refused and stopped cooperating. At this point, I believe I have been scammed. The seller has taken my money and has no intention of delivering the item.

Clothing items were published on social media with a link to a website that indicated a storefront in Charlotte, North Carolina was going out of business. The site included a picture of the alleged owner of the store and a story about this person now being a stay at home grandmother; therefore, closing the store. Location of the store states Charlotte North Carolina and indicates a US company; however, once I placed my order, I realized the shipping details were indicating the item was being shipped from China. I did receive the item, which did not meet the expectations based on pictures online and sizing was way off. I then requested to return the item and found out that as this item's return cost is my burden and as it comes from China the return cost is close to half of the cost of the original item I purchased. I requested a refund and information on how to return the item. The email response offered me a 10% discount, then 15%, and then 20% as they did not want to give me a return address. I finally did get a return address and it of course is a address in China. I did more research and realized this company does not and never did exist in North Carolina or any other state that I can find. This is not a legitimate company and they are falsely claiming to be in the US; therefore, the need to report them for a scam.

I ordered a package from SHEIN. They use a delivery service called GoFo Express. I was notified that my package was delivered, but when I went to pick it up, the bag was already open and completely empty. I looked at the photo from the delivery driver, and the package was clearly already opened/empty when they delivered it. Upon researching GoFo Express, they are notorious for stealing items or not delivering the package at all. When you try to contact them, they don’t respond or flat out hang up on you. I have no way to contact them, I don’t have the items I ordered, and I lost $75 in the process. This company needs to be stopped.

Contracted with this company to provide qualified and quality real estate leads. Minimum of 8 leads per month were to be provided. After being dissatisfied with the quality of leads (or lack of quality leads), I cancelled after the first month and was rest assured on a call that I would not be charged for the second month. Unfortunately, I was charged for the entire second month and was only provided 3 out of 8 leads. All 11 leads provided were not quality leads. After having numerous text exchanges asking for a refund for the second month, nothing was done. I would like to file a complaint so no other customer loses $4K for no reason at all. I tried to work with Cataleads for a refund, but they refused to handle this amicably.

Website tryIQ.org advertises a one-time online IQ test for $9.00. (At the time of this report, price has been dropped to $8.00) You answer 25 questions and after you click "Done" you are taken to a page that offers a "Basic" $9 and an "Advanced" $19 option to "unlock your IQ score." At no time is this advertised as a subscription.

After selecting either option, a pop-up window displays asking for your credit card information and your name- nothing more. When you enter your information, they process the payment and then show your supposed IQ score. This charge is submitted by "Tryiq.org."

One week later your credit card is charged $9.00 by an entity called "Digital Test Center Tysnes No".

Researching this website shows it is owned by "Withheld for Privacy" (the actual name of the company in Reykjavik, Iceland.) Withheld for Privacy is a subsidiary of a domain registration service out of Arizona called NameCheap. The address listed in the WhoIs record for tryiq.org is Kalkofnsvegur 2 which, according to a New York Times article of 9OCT24, is " ... the virtual home to an array of perpetrators of identity theft, ransomware and disinformation."

So, yeah, avoid these ******** and write to NameCheap to let them know we know they support known online fraudulent businesses.

They have an add on social media for a deal on product where you only have to pay the shipping. A week after placing that order they attempted to withdraw 149.00 from my bank account. And it has happened to multiple other people I have since found out

This website looks just like the real candle website, and it has an unbelievable sale. That's what draws you in, and you don't notice the difference in spelling on the IP address. I ordered many items, but when you get to the point of purchase, it won't let you process payment. However, you have already put all your card information, including cvc, address, email, and phone number, etc. This site will not allow you to create an account with them, and the IP address is https://www.goosecerekcandles.my - legitimate accounts have .com/.org/.edu/.gov. I wish I had noticed that before I put all of my information into their system. Please cancel your cards and protect your information as much as you can from this point forward.

This website is a scam trying to lure you of paying $1 for an IQ test and then charging you for $40 without you knowing it. Now they attempted to charge me every 2 weeks. I reported it to my bank.

I ordered a soccer jersey direct from the manufacturer on April 7, and it has yet to arrive. Furthermore, when I try to access my account page on the website, no orders show up. When I call the listed 833 number, no one ever picks up.

The website is very misleading and states "100% Acceptance Guarantee

Guaranteed employer acceptance

or your money back."

There should really be an obvious disclaimer with the money back gaurentee that is it ONLY for 60 days. What happens if you switch jobs and your new employer does not accept this. I feel very duped as I was under the notion that I am covered if there is any complication. I have reached out to the company and they refuse to make me whole.

Hello, I hope this helps someone else. I was looking for Highland Miniature Cows. I came across this Facebook page called Roses Highland Cattle Farm. It looked very legit. I contacted them by messenger. I spoke to Tengai Houston, he sounded very legit. He had tons of pictures, and videos of gorgeous little calves. He explained how everything would work. I would pay him through Zelle, his email for Zelle was [email protected]. After I sent him the money he would take the calf that I decided on to the courier. The calf would be sent to me that day. So I did. When I started talking to the courier it got suspicious. They kept coming up with these different charges. I went back to Tengai, and told him I was very suspicious of that company. He told me all kinds of stuff about this company but I still didn’t feel right. So I finally told him, no I was done I wanted to call the whole thing off. Then he said I could come and pick the calf up. Well my family would not let me go by myself. I told Tengai just to give me my money back. He said fine when he pick up the calf from the courier he would refund me the money. He said give him about 25 minutes, I said ok. Well when the time was up he did not refund me the money, in fact he close his Facebook page and blocked me from the messenger conversation that we were having. I keep checking to see if it is open or his Facebook page is open again but no luck.

Epic games advertised that you would receive 950 vbucks ( as a refund for the battle pass) if you bought crew. I bought crew while having the battle pass and never received 950 v bucks. Whenever I contacted epic games the second time they lied and said this was never a thing even though the first time i contacted them they said it was a known problem that would be solved shortly. They falsely advertised and took my money and then lied about it. I know they did this to countless others who just don’t care because it’s $10 and I wouldn’t have cared either except they had the audacity to lie about it. A multi million dollar company lying to save themselves $10 is laughable.

They are misleading individuals into purchasing courses, coaching, and products to restore vision. They are actively negating health professional advice and promising perfect vision. Harmful and abusive practices to funnel money into their scams, while putting patients eye health at risk.

This person registered as a customer with our business and made multiple purchases of several thousand dollars. Then proceeded to dispute each charge with their credit card company so that we ended up with chargebacks to the tune of $7,957 before we realized what was happening and froze the account.
