Robin sells a product called Rockets AI. It’s supposed to help small businesses gain leads through Facebook. He makes you attend 2 sessions before the final sales pitch where he sells you his program. I can’t remember the exact amount but it was around $800.00 the part where he scams people is he promises them a full refund if you don’t make atleast $10,000.00 in 90 days using his method. He masquerades the back loaded terms and conditions to this that you don’t find out about until after you already pay for the program. Once you see the the actual terms and conditions you see that it’s impossible to get a refund if the program doesn’t work. I spent almost $1,000 on his program and almost another $1,000 in advertising (following his guidelines in his program) and I didn’t make one dollar. He promises one on one coaching 5 days a week which wound up being 3 at most. He also said your coach would respond to emails over the weekend which never happens. I actually gave it 103 days before I reached out for my refund which is when I was told I didn’t qualify because I didn’t meet the terms and conditions. They then proceeded to block me from the Facebook group in which he sells his program so it wouldn’t be possible for me to share my expierence. This is not as isolated incident as this has happened to hundreds of people over the last 3-4 months

To Whom It May Concern,

I contacted Ms. Farida (Rita) Walker at Multipurpose Consulting LLC, 6200 Baltimore Avenue, Ste R41, Riverdale, Maryland 20737, Telephone: (301)-579-4060 for my Summer 2025 clinical rotation. I am a student at Wilkes University pursuing my nurse practitioner degree in psychiatry. Ms. Walker told me via telephone that a $400.00 deposit is required before starting clinicals, and $600.00 is due before I begin clinical rotation at the site. Under no circumstances did Ms. Walker mention the non-refundable policy. I paid $400.00 to Ms. Walker via Zelle on March 25, 2025. Now that the school has found a clinical placement in Texas, I am requesting the deposit of $400.00 to be returned to me from Multipurpose Consulting LLC. I never received any policy or receipt for my payment from Ms. Walker. Moreover, after I requested my money back for the services I never received, she notified me for the first time that the clinic does not give the money back once the student has paid. In addition, Ms. Walker stated the clinic can withhold the funds for the next clinical rotation. I explained to Ms. Walker that this is my final rotation, and I do not have any more clinicals to complete. After several emails, Ms. Walker is billing me another $600.00 for services that I never received. This is not acceptable and appears to be fraud. Please look into this and get my money from the consulting agency as soon as possible. This has caused me undue stress and frustration and I do not want to deal with such an agency anyway. Thank you for looking into this matter and for your assistance.

Respectfully,

Viji Nathan

I went online to purchase a nello product. After approximately 16 days without an update on order I began asking questions. I made a customer support ticket and the original sites customer service reached out and was able to let me know I placed an order on a fraudulent website based on the order number. Began to look at website the original order was placed and noticed different questionable things I did not see previously when placing the order. Such as, the transaction on bank statement read Sp Don George Mc Farla instead of Nello.

I purchased my item directly from their website. The site was new and their merchandise was new/starting up. I was advised the merchandise was in process of being built and would not be shipped right away. After waiting a couple months without being updated, I attempted to emailed them. They notified me they were on backorder and were fulfilling orders as they were placed. They gave me a timeframe of a month. After a couple months passed, without receiving any status, I emailed the company back. They advised the same thing again, stating it would take longer than expected. I mad the purchase in January 2022. The company changed their name since and have taken more and more orders, even making new merchandise. I requested a refund as well. I have yet to receive my order and/or a refund. The company failed to return emails. The company continues to take new orders and make new products.

Grace Decors used a scam where they present a fake USPS tracking number, which does not go to your address. It will reflect delivery, but not to you. They then ask for documentation from USPS that is an internal document that can not be shared with the public. I was able to get an email from USPS giving the streetname of delivery and it did not match my address. Customer service is rude, mocking, and unhelpful. They know they are getting away witih something, and it appears that PayPal has some of the same folks working customer service as they too asked for the documentation that USPS WILL NOT share. So really I got scammed by PayPal and this company.

Fake Wayfair site selling clearance merchandise for $116.88 each item with free shipping. Purchaser is directed to PayPal to enter their information. A name is associated with the debits listed on my accounts. I called the phone number associated with the address on the website. It is some telemarketer. Wayfair denies knowledge of this site.

I ordered 3 shirts. Came to 60 some dollars but realized the took more then what they were supposed to, so I emailed them and they said they couldn’t refund that. And kept emailing them where my package was and they kept telling me it was on the way then said it was delivered and it was not. So they told me to contact usps and so I did and then they had given me the ring tracking information and so they finally gave me the right number and called usps and they said it was delivered to the wrong address and couldn’t tell me to who. So I emailed them and they said there was no more they could do. And I keep asking for a refund and to give my money back but when I do they stop emailing me.

Purchased products from this website a month ago, and yet to receive them. I have emailed the provided email from their website with no response. When I attempt to track the items, there is no delivery date, and hardly ever updates or changes.

I was on FB when I saw a well-known doctor's video (Dr. Barbara O'Neil), a MAGA supporter. She is legit. I followed the video to the end and hit the link to order. I am not 100% sure, but the product may have changed when I placed my order, and I may not have realized it. I called them today, which is the next day, and asked to make changes.

#1 There's an unknown charge on my credit card bill. I specifically did not order anything extra, she said it automatically goes with the product I did order. I told her to cancel it ($59.99). I checked online, and she refunded me. #2 I asked to change the quantity of bottles (it was buy 6 get 3 for free, I was charged for 6), and she said no, they cannot change what's already been ordered. #3 I told her to cancel my original order, she said, no, "they don't cancel orders". I replied, "Well, if you canceled the small order that I did not order, how can you not cancel the original order (it had not yet shipped). She repeated herself again. #4 I then advised that they say they have 100% refund if not satisfied, and I will dispute it with my credit card company. She quickly offered 50% back. I checked online and she refunded $119.99. Whatever this so-called company is, they are scammers.

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.

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.

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!!!

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.

- Vienna, VA, USA

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.
