Lazy Squire Games is a company that develops and publishes board games that consumers may "back" to offer funding for the project and later receive a product. I'm currently involved with two projects from this developer: Stormsunder and Wild Assent - Lavon Rising. Stormsunder was successfully funded on March 5, 2020, while Wild Assent - Lavon Rising was successfully funded on June 29, 2021. Today is August 16, 2024 and there seems to be no clear timeline for when the product will be released. Many backers and myself are deeply concerned that Lazy Squire Games won't deliver on their original promise, as they continue dragging their feet with fluff updates without any substantial information regarding timeline or fulfillment of the project. I proceeded to look up Lazy Squire Games on the Better Business Bureau website and the company does not exist. I am deeply concerned that this may be a scam.

The website said if I signed up for multiple offers from their website I would earn cash doing this. Today I attempted to log in to see where about my cash out was and I received an error when I attempted to log in stating that what I had done was considered fraudulent and all this stuff and they gave me a permanent ban. I did everything they said I signed up for all these different things I did didn't pay a huge amount of money but $100 to me is a lot of money. They attempted to take much more of that for me but I canceled the subscriptions they forced me to sign up for before I could be charged a huge amount for a yearly subscription. I want it known that this website is a scam it's a total utter scam.

I was attempting to have a defective product replaced that I purchased through Amazon Prime. I was trying to communicate online with a company called Gigalumi and they manufacture Solar Pathway lights. During the process I was somehow redirected to the Justask.com site. At that point I thought I was still communicating with Gigalumi. They made it seem like I was asking for support on my product through Gigalumi. I filled out a form online under the pretense that I pay 1 dollar and that they would refund it shortly. Luckily my credit union flagged the attempted transaction for $55 for a subscription to Justask.com. So my credit union had to cancel my debit card. Now of course I have to get it replaced with a new card with a new number, which is always a hassle because it is connected to other legitimate venders including Amazon. This is false advertising at the least and attempted robbery and fraud at worst.

I bought a subscription for 12 monthly snacks. I received 4 (December, January, February, March). Since then, none have been received. This is 5 months now that I did not get any. I keep asking about this via email and get repeated answers "they're on the way". I tried calling a number on the website 888-861-9727 and it is listed at "unreachable".

A scammer contacted me about an item I was selling on Facebook Marketplace. She asked me to text her at (614) 618-5570 and the response was from Anna.

“ I want pick it up, Please text my cell#Sorry text my number (614) 618-5570 Because i will not be active on here.”

I texted her and gave her my address.

She asked to pay Venmo, but I said cash.

Next she replied “ okay i can pay cash for my safety can i send 6 digits code to make sure you are real.”

A code was sent from 22000 asking me to provide the Google verification code.

That is when I got suspicious. I asked her to call me on FaceTime or Messenger and I would show her the Weedwacker I am selling.

She persisted, and said “ actually lot of scam If your post is real,

“Can you send me the code?mer in here. Your phone massage check from 22000”

Then I googled “real seller verify code” and learned about this scam.

Purchased an extended car warrant from them. Have filed 3 claims for engine repair over the last 3-4 years. Each and every one of the claims were initially denied. The first one they did eventually pay, but only after three days of phone conversations and arguments about the parts not being covered, and then when they did approve the part, they would only pay for an after market cheapest part available to replace the bad one. This whole Endurance Warranty company is a scam. It,s next to impossible to file a claim, and then it gets disapproved anyway. What did I pay $2,528.90 for?

PLEASE HELP!!!!

On June 3, 2024, I made an online reservation with what appeared to be a legitimate business. I prepaid $333.00 with my Visa credit card to the business for the rental of 4 e-bikes on the afternoon of July 5, 2024. I received an email receipt with a confirmation number—all of my reservation information was correct. When we arrived at the business address shown on the email receipt, it turns out there was no business located there. When I called the phone number on the email receipt, they said they didn’t have any bikes for us. Then they said their payment vendor’s website was not working, so they could not reimburse my credit card. I then exchanged several phone calls and texts with them about getting my money back. After many hours, they claimed to have processed a refund to my credit card. One week has passed and they still have not refunded my money. I have disputed this claim with my credit card company and am seeking reimbursement that way. I suspect they are a fraudulent company.

I have attempted to make Amazon aware of the deceptive practices of one of their sellers under Sec 43 (a) of the Lanham Act for misleading advertisement. I am not confident my complaint has been addressed so I’m elevating it to the BBB.

I recently ordered a 6-Pack of LA Looks Sport Xtreme Hold 20 oz bottles. I received one. (I could not get customer service to agree to send me the remaining 5 to complete my order, only a refund). On the surface, this would seem to be a minor fullfillment issue at the warehouse and easily resolved by the customer service team. However, I believe there is a much bigger problem than this small example.

After this fulfillment issue, I went back to the reviews for the product. I counted 18 times in the first 6 months of 2024 that customers are complaining of the very same issue — ordering the 6 pack and receiving 1. And that’s just the customers that bother writing a review. I even found where this has been happening going back as far as 2015 for this seller. Why hasn’t Amazon demanded the seller cease and decist this practice immediately?

I strongly suspect this isn’t the only product and/or seller that Amazon is allowing to use it’s distribution network to deceive and defraud its customers.

I signed up for a Hebrew course about Biblical studies and was very excited about it. The first four classes started out with the instructor not showing up for 15-20 minutes, and after four lessons, they claim they will not even issue a partial refund. After the initial lessons, the instructor failed to show up on the majority of occasions, and we are all being told we cannot receive a refund of any kind. This "business" preys on people who are looking to learn Biblical Hebrew, and they do not deliver on the promises from their end, and will refuse to issue even a partial refund. When you try to gain access to the organizations leadership, so you can email them, they will not respond and will leave you on hold without picking up. Please avoid this company and go through a more reputable one.

I attempted to purchase a washer/dryer set through Facebook marketplace. Originally, I was asked to put half the cost down as a deposit to get on the delivery schedule. The next morning I was emailed but "Sales Info" by the included email demanding an "Insurance coverage" payment of an additional $250 despite specifically denying the additional cost. The address given to pick up the appliances was visited by local law enforcement and found to be a storage warehouse with very old appliances. The contact supplies a multitude of stock images even when asked to provide a picture with the current date written on a piece of paper with the items to be delivered. I have filed a report with the local authorities as well as the authorities located close to the contacts digital signatures. In further forensics I have found that this group is highly active and scamming a multitude of people.

My wife "shops" on Marketplace. She expressed interest in purchasing a 36" Blackstone Grill for $30 (first scam alert!). The seller (Karen Parody who had a profile we checked) asked for a phone number to make sure ***** was "real" (***** doesn't use FB except to shop Marketplace). I questioned it, but was persuaded and gave "Karen" my cell phone number (***** doesn't use a smart phone). "Karen" send a code (with Google Voice LInk). I returned the code; she said she couldn't verify that number and would I send another. I realized my error at that point and reported the listing and blocked this seller on ******* PC. I reported the text I'd received and deleted it. ARHG.

This website is a scam. It advertises that it is a free QR code generator, and when you create it, signs you up for a free trial. After a time, they let you know that the QR codes you have generated will not work after their trial, which ends after 7 days. They make you pay AT LEAST $120 in order to keep the QR code working. Many people have fallen into their trap, as seen on this reddit thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/weddingplanning/comments/1bxxh02/warning_to_my_fellow_w...⇄ They do not advertise that the QR codes generated during the free trial will stop working, or let the customer know at all until it is too late and the customer has already ordered and paid for the items in print they plan to use the QR code for. Please help to get them shut down so they cannot use their predatory practices on anyone else.
