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.

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.

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.

purchased jet ski part from business posted on facebook (jetski parts auction) and paid $200 via apple pay (who has refused to attempt to collect the money paid). This said shipping company then requested an additional $200 for insurance prior to delivering the part. When declined to pay, both parties became very defensive and called us threatening when we called their scam and reported we were contacting our attorney.

Ordered from what I thought was a legitimate company (Lane Bryant). After purchase of clothing was made the vendor came up as 'modeslug'. This was March 2, 2025. On April 4, 2025 a delivery was supposedly made - but there was no delivery from a company ID'd as 718 Global Logistics. Both companies look like they have legitimate websites but NEITHER respond to my inquiries. Warn everyone it is a scam (unless like me they want to give their money away to a crook, apparently). My bank says the debit came through as an 'escape room' but then when that link was followed - it went to another site. Completely fraud on all sides.

ADHDAdvisors is a business listed online. When you reach out, you have to set up an account through app.receptive.health . They tell you that the appointment to be diagnosed with ADHD is $50. After you pay that and attend the appointment, you are charged another surprise $100. Then, even 10 days after the appointment, I am not provided access to the clinical notes or a diagnosis letter. It's as if the appointment never took place. They asked me my medical history and a bunch of medical questions, charged me, and now I cannot get ahold of them. Their business has no address and no phone number. The only way to reach out is via email.

Followed link from Instagram. Thought I was purchasing directly from Oofos but it was a scam. This company is in China and used a bogus tracking site *************. Learned a painful lesson about using links in Instagram.

Joyce posted a "used like new" stairlift on Facebook Marketplace. She said she only used it twice and it worked perfectly. When I went to pick it up, it was disconnected and ready to be taken. When we got it home and set it up, we realized it was missing a major part, the charging cable which keeps the battery charged and working. I contacted Joyce immediately and she claimed there was no such part. I had 2 companies come out to look at the lift. They said it was absolutely missing and the lift would not work without it. I also found out the lift was 12 years old. I again contacted Joyce. She changed the ad to "used in great condition", which is still dishonest because of the major missing part and she removed the ad, so that I couldn't rate my transaction. She stopped responding and blocked me from her profile. I called the company, Stannah, and they said the lift isn't made any more because it is too old and they couldn't locate any parts to repair it. She charged me $700 cash for a paperweight. She won't respond or return my money. She is still selling items on Facebook. I would like her blocked from selling items.

While searching the Internet for used boat motors. I came across this website, marrianasboats.com

I called their phone number and discussed purchasing a used motor, with a male who has an Indian accent. The deal sounded too good to be true.

Their location showed to be three hours from my location, so I discussed putting a deposit down for them to hold the motor. However, I never sent any money.

At the time of this writing I am still waiting for them to send me an invoice to my email for the deposit amount. Due to my skepticism about the deal I searched the Internet, and found that a similar scam has been reported previously.

Luckily, I did not send them any money. The information that I provided them was my name, address and phone number.
