This was advertised as a puppy that could do multiple lifelike movements. In reality, it is very small & requires 2batteries that enable it to make a sound & barely move—no doubt an AI mis representation! Totally fraudulent!!

It was for dentures. Said you just put in hot water and they would mold to your gums. But all that was sent were little pieces of teeth looking things and beads was just junk.

The website harperandrowechicago.com is engaging in deceptive business practices by intentionally misrepresenting its identity, age, and location to defraud consumers. The site markets itself as a long-standing American brand, claiming to have been 'established in 1999,' yet domain records and site data show it is a recently created entity with no historical presence. Furthermore, while the site uses 'Chicago' in its name and branding to imply domestic operations, it is a drop-shipping front that ships low-quality goods directly from China. This lack of transparency regarding the business's origin and the falsification of its operational history are being used to mislead customers into making purchases under false pretenses.

I purchased a tool advertised on social media. I received an invalid tracking number and never received the item. I reported to paypal and the seller also provided them proof of shipment via what I assume was a fake tracking number.

I must have bought something for Christmas. I really can not say what as I bought lots and lots of stuff online mostly through ads on facebook, tik tok, instagram. I received notice from Discover for a charge of 29.99 in November and as I could not recall what all I ordered and where I accepted it. Same notice from Discover again on Dec. 27 and I knew full and well I did not order or waiting for any product and denied the charge. Went on Oak and Cedar website and saw something about "membership" and knew that was not what I signed up for. I cancelled my, unbeknown to me, membership. Got in contact with Discover and received new credit card and hope this charge does not show up again.

I ordered as Christmas gifts, on December 6, 2025, a set if Mini Travel Jewelry bags (4), that appeared to be made of suede in the picture. The quality of the bags, as they appeared in a short video on their website, was suede and looked very nice. I then received multiple emails saying they were in transit. Fake tracking numbers, and an email stating that they were being held in customs in Iceland. I asked for a refund over and over, and got the run around on why it couldn't be refunded, and they claimed it was still on it's way. On December 29th, I received a package with some small jewelry pouches that are made from felt. Sub standard. I would never give those as gifts to anyone! Still trying to get a refund.

Advertised jewelry handmade by a Lara Green who does not exist.

Jewelry advertised as original, but it is actually on other websites.

Jewelry pictures were beautiful. What I received was extremely low quality.

The store claimed that they were having an online closing sale. I purchased $****** worth of items that I never received. I have been in contact via email and they have responded with an apology due to overwhelming orders they would send me a shipping date asap. I still have not received the items and received an email that someone would be in touch regarding my refund. Which I have yet receive. I have since sent a 3rd email.

Eye glasses suppose to adjust to all vision types. I received plain plastic thin lense glasses like you can purchase anywhere.

These do not match the ads as seen on YpuTube.

I ordered two pairs of sandals. They arrived in about 3 weeks, obviously from Asia, most likely China. The correct size was on the packaging, however they were too small and the quality was not as pictured in the ad. I paid with a credit card through PayPal. I was in touch with the company through Pay Pal email. They said it was their company policy not to allow returns and refunds if they sent the correct size merchandise.

I ordered a wedding band ring on Apirl 20. I received no information about the ring until after I reached out on May 2nd. I was sent an email showing it had been mailed with "tracking". The tracking link does not show which carrier is being used. Nor does the destinations on the route show locations of which facilities it supposedly arrived to. Soon after it showed it was in customs and delayed. Again no location. A email was sent stating they were monitoring it and would be in touch and send another in 48hrs if it wasn't resolved in that time frame. That was weeks ago and now the link for tracking just goes in a circle. I believe this is an elaborate scam and the item was never sent.

I enrolled in a nutrition appointment with a dietician. I entered my information, downloaded their app. To schedule the appointment I needed to place my debit on file. The appointment was confirmed via email. No one showed for the zoom meeting. I believe the nutritionist is not a real person and the website is a scam. There is no phone number with live attendant and email is no reply. No one shows up to the app for the zoom meeting. No reply on chat in their app and the phone number takes voicemail however no one calls you back. I believe the nutritionist is a face profile. All LinkedIn businesses in LinkedIn profile and websites other than Fay are inactive links.

I ordered from Shein. Usually, the use USPS or DHL to deliver. This time they used ACI Logistics to deliver my shirts & jewelry they claim they’ve attempted 2 times which I don’t understand because I provided a code to get in & there are package lockers if they don’t want to get upstairs.

They claim to have 24/7 support but it’s just automated messages. Shein is telling me I have to contact them & all they keep telling me is to provide email. They keep saying they attempted but I still haven’t received a reason why. I go on there Instagram & it’s looks like bs can’t contact them through there & they turned all comments off so don’t negative feedback can be seen. It’s now been 4 days & I have been home all week & I still haven’t received my stuff.

I bought a product Super Apeti plus on April 4th, 2025, on The TikTok shop. I then received a message to my phone that my order was canceled, and the seller was no longer using TikTok shop to sell thing instead they have their own website. I got a refund a couple days later on April 7th, 2025, I order from their website and made it known to them. After about 2 weeks I ordered the same product from a different website and received it within a week. I messaged them and asked for a refund they told me ordered were backed up and my package would be on the way. Then today May 23rd, 2025, I messaged this person again asking for a refund to be processed and she told me she does not do refunds with payments done through Zelle only from credit/card transactions but on her website, there is no option to pay with a credit/card. The only payment options on her website are Chime and Zelle.

I placed an order through Instagram from Linlands.com for t-shirts. They seemed very legit. The order was never received, but they provided tracking proof that it was. They told me to contact my local USPS to take it up with them. They didn't provide a USPS tracking number. Then they said things got held up in customs because of Trump's tariffs. How come they say that after giving proof that it was delivered? I am working with my credit card company to dispute the charges, but they've sided with them because of the tracking they submitted. I got my dispute reopened when I told them there isn't a USPS tracking number. We'll see. DO NOT BUY FROM LINLANDS.COM.

I was on Tik Tok messenger and the person messaged me up there we were talking and she said something about a clothing brand and she showed me images of her clothes at first I didn't think anything of it because I thought she was promoting an actual clothing brand so I wanted to by some clothes so I gave her $*** dollars because the clothes looked really nice. Then not only did I not get my clothes, but she stole my information to open a business account, and she made me the co account owner.

On top of that she took out a loan and tried to make me send money to pay the loan off. I never authorized my name to place on the loan in the first place now that "bank" is harassing me saying I need to pay back the $**** the person took out. Then to make matters worse they keep calling me asking me for money they wanted $*** dollars. This has to be one of the most frustrating things I've ever dealt with. I wouldn't wish to happen to anyone so just be mindful of who you communicate with on the Internet.

An add on TikTok brought me to a page selling apparent GymShark clothing on clearance. I ordered $***** worth of merchandise on 4/11, and received a confirmation order email. Soon after I received an email with a “tracking link.” It routinely updated where the package was at, when it was received internationally, when it made it to my town, etc. Eventually on 5/13 (more than a month after my original order) it said the package was delivered, however I did not receive said package. I emailed customer support who gave me a new tracking link stating it was delivered on 5/14 (the delivery date suddenly changed???) and then told me to ask my neighbors if they had received it by accident. I demanded my money back, and they responded by saying they’ll look into it further since their tracking website said it was “delivered.” I insisted on a refund, and they offered me 60% back since they’ve “also suffered a significant loss, especially since these products were sold at a relatively low price.” (Quoted from their customer service email.) I again insisted on a full refund since this was clearly a scam, and they responded that they would now be able to refund me 90% instead - 90% of $43.99 mind you. No reputable company would ever do this. At this point I stopped responding and filed this complaint with the BBB, as well as a dispute over the charge with my credit card company.
