I ordered a notebook journal and a set of pens. Almost a month after I ordered the tracking said they were delivered somewhere in Georgia. I live in Texas. When I emailed at first, they said they’ve been delivered. Check your porch. Ask your neighbors. I said yes, but to Georgia and I am in *****.. then my next email I said the same thing, but the reply was they were held up because of President Trump‘s tariffs. A few days later I sent the same email and they said tracking shows they were delivered. Check your porch. Ask your neighbors. I replied not on my porch not at my neighbors.. this went on a few more emails and I finally asked about refunds. Obviously it’s an automated reply. Email because I keep getting the same emails back from them. I’m usually really good about reading reviews to see if I’m making a smart order. At this point, I just want my money back.. and I hope people will read reviews before they order

I placed an order on November 21, 2024, through VerifiedFresheners.com, after seeing an Instagram ad. I purchased eight air fresheners for $57.45, paying securely via PayPal. However, there were several troubling issues with the transaction:

Order Confirmation Discrepancy: I received an order confirmation from CertifiedFresheners.com, not Verified Fresheners, which included my personal and payment details, along with a summary of the purchase.

Payment Processing Discrepancy: My PayPal payment was processed by a third party, Air Vinyls ([email protected]), not Verified Fresheners or Certified Fresheners.

Product Issues: The products I received were labeled as Certified Fresheners, not Verified Fresheners, and the scent and packaging differed from the descriptions advertised.

Concerning Responses: When I contacted Verified Fresheners, they claimed that Certified Fresheners was impersonating them and scamming customers. After providing evidence, their website was suddenly taken down, and I received no further communication. Air Vinyls responded twice, requesting the same evidence I had already provided and later sent me a link to their Instagram page.

Misrepresentation and Confusion: It appears that Verified Fresheners, Certified Fresheners, and Air Vinyls may all be linked to Shopify accounts, leading to confusion about their relationships and accountability.

Impact: The misleading branding, fulfillment issues, and subpar product quality suggest potential fraudulent practices. The unauthorized use of my personal and payment information has caused both financial and emotional distress.

I am seeking assistance in addressing these discrepancies and ensuring accountability for these actions.

Item popped up on a Facebook ad, which I believed was the official Wayfair store. I purchased an item. I downloaded the Wayfair app to track my delivery. Found that Wayfair did not recognize my order number.

I ordered a lash tint set as well as a refill. they said it takes 7 to 9 days for delivery. I kept checking one week two weeks three weeks four weeks and it just sent that it was in transit. Meanwhile, I’m getting emails asking to review the product. I went back and looked at the comments on Facebook and I saw several people complaining. They never received the product. They’re waiting for weeks on end. I should’ve read the comments before I place the order. I feel like this was a scam.

LaserAway took my information driver's license, social security number, debit card/bank account number, and home address/personal information. They took a deposit payment of $99.00 for a service not rendered and not finalized all in the same day. They utilized deceptive practices & approaches to coerce me into continuing with an appointment that I requested to cancel & am entitled to a refund. They claimed that I would not have to pay anything until a month from now (02/08/2025) but proceeded to use my card information to take a $99.00 deposit. Upon request for a refund, they denied me stating that they wanted a letter from my Physician to add to my file; however, still they refused a refund on my card/bank account. Further, I do not feel comfortable sharing my personal EMR (Electronic Medical Records) or otherwise, as, HIPAA's privacy rule protects me and my PHI. I have not & do not give them consent to use and/or receive any of my information including but not limited to my health information. They continue to attempt to get/retrieve information from me dangling the funds over my head like a carrot until I give them what they ask and using those manipulative tactics to fund their scam/fraudulent activity. As a corporation, they should not use deceptive tactics and should refund those not receiving services with the dollar amount(s) they take on services not rendered. Moreover, they claim that their policies do not allow refunds and that they follow the same rules/policies as other medical spas/aesthetic/cosmetic companies. However, all of the companies that I go to and place a deposit on an appointment that I cancel are refunded for me to use as I please, so as long as, I cancel before 24 hours. I cancelled well over 36 hours in advance. They also claim that they need you to speak to their nurse, via a video call, to answer their medical questions before they finalize the appointment. This video call never happened with me and therefore, the appointment could not and should not be finalized. Stay away from this company as they use deceptive practices, steal your identity, and retrieve your funds without your permission. They also threatened to continue to take my funds from my account until all of the services that I will never have with them are paid in full. Again, services not rendered require a refund.

Leaves a voicemail where the caller says her name is Jessica and that she's calling from the 'loan department' - no specified business. She does have an application number she gives you which makes it sound more official. Then leaves a 877 number for you to call back by 5pm PST.

The company Oracle Hearing AIDS has addresses in Sheridan WY and San Diego Ca. The store front in WY is used to house companies that scam people. The scammer puts ads on the internet for things like hearing aid, shavers etc. They say your order was lost in transit and they will reorder but it never comes. Products are made in other countries. But there are warehouses in US they say

I ordered 3 bottles of a product. After the order was completed they placed another order for 6 bottles for $250.97.

I immediately contacted PayPal and the company saying that i did not authorize this order. They stated that it was a automatic payment order and that it was to late to cancel. I filed a dispute with paypal and emailed the company as well. I even have emaiils stating that due to the hurricanes there was a delay in shipping. They could have canceled my order at that time for the 6 bottles that i did not authorize but refused to do so. As of today they are stating that the item was sent and paypal is stating that because they sent it out then i am pretty much screwed. This company manipulated in the order a membership to charge me for six additional bottles and even after contacting them before it was shipped they refused to give me a refund and cancel the order.

Advertisement on Facebook showed models wearing sandals with the label Clark's. They were advertised as orthopedic sandals, comfortable to wear, from the Clarks company. When I receive them there was no Clark name on the shoe, they were made from plastic and very flat and uncomfortable. Definitely false advertisement. I've noticed that others have tried to write negative comments. And I have noticed that negative comments are soon erased from the Facebook advertisement.

I saw a promotion online from Derm La Fleur which offered a trial size bottle of skin lotion for the price of only the shipping cost. I paid $6.99 for the shipping of the product and received it in the mail. A few days later, I see in my bank account that this company had charged me $129.99 for another “order” of the product, that I had never placed or authorized! I called them the next morning and was told that by paying for the shipping on the “trial”, that I am now signed up for a subscription to be automatically charged. There were NO terms and conditions to read on the website, and nothing that I agreed to! Nothing. I was rudely treated by the service rep. and I was told that because I am canceling my subscription, I was responsible for half the cost of my “free” trial bottle, plus the $6.99 shipping fee! Again, there was NOTHING on this website stating this would happen, nor did I agree to any terms and conditions of such. My money was essentially stolen from my bank account without my realization or authorization.

I was trying to get global entry- the website that popped up first was global-entry-pass- us.com

I began to complete all my passport info, drivers license info, past 5 years employment, and past 5 years of residence. They were charging me 100 dollars plus a 149 processing fee - I’ve never tried to get global entry before but then I realized I was charged 149 which should not be. Cancelled my credit cards, froze, credit, contacted us passport office to see if I need a new passport- terrible to be taken advantage of in this way

Was messaged by a guy named Paul Thomas on Facebook about purchasing some bourbon. Was told I could get two bottles of Elmer T for $101 which included shipping. Told me to send payment through cash app, PayPal, Zella and Venmo. I only had Venmo so he said to send to @tyactup TeriqueMoore but it wouldn't let me make payment. Gave me two references on Facebook, Gelfand Oliver and Rodger Everson. Got a hold of Gelfand Oliver and he said that he was good to go. I sent money through PayPal to [email protected] but didn't work and told me to cancel. Went by Poco Lee. I tried again and payment went through but then the other payment went through as well. He told me that he would FedEx the next day but then came back saying I needed to ship a min. of 6 bottles. Wanted me to send more money. Also went by [email protected] Delfosse Pierro, [email protected], Lowenstein Hilary Kreger. He told me that I would thank him at the end. No risk no reward and about trust and he was giving me a 100% guaranteed.

I saw this ad on Instagram about a product called: "Remifa™ WINDPOWER 1500W Electric Portable Heater Blower", so I ordered 3 of these products through their Instagram ad, and what I received from this company was 3 cheaply made mini fans that weren't even worth $5 each! So when I tried to contact them for a complaint and refund, their email didn't even work and the email bounced back!
