Saw ad on Facebook for Overstock items. Placed order on 10/31/23 by credit card and never received goods. Sent email to "vendor" and they replied it was delivered and I should check with the post office or my neighbors. The link they sent to me to check the status looked suspicious so I did not feel comfortable clicking on it. I have copied the email correspondence below.

This is a website attempting to use the likeness of another website;

https://activityzone.shop/

https://www.escapeoutdoors.com/

I will break down the scam:

The '"activityzone" website appears as close as possible to the actual brand Escape Outdoors; I will be abbreviating activityzone as (AZ) for succinctness and ease of reading. AZ posts' a random copyright "© Outdoor Outlets" at the bottom of their page, already not matching the name of the website. The "About us" section for AZ rips the same photos for the actual Escape Outdoors "About Us"

https://www.escapeoutdoors.com/pages/about-us

https://activityzone.shop/about/

Cont. AZ does not accept AMEX - which is as we know the best company for disputing fraudulent charges and actually getting them fixed; second, they AZ list in the bottom right that they take Maestro - the European debit card and prepaid cards owned by Mastercard and discontinued: July 1, 2023 (Europe only). In the bottom right the accepted payment methods are Visa, Mastercard, Maestro, PayPal, and Discover. However, when you get to their actual checkout page they list they only accept Visa, Mastercard, PayPal; another intra-site discrepancy.

They boldly claim at the checkout page they are accredited by [YOU] the ScamPulse.com (hint: they're not).

Finally (BIG POINT); if you go to the AZ "Contact us" webpage it is clearly a scam as they were not smart enough to fix this page.

https://activityzone.shop/contact-us/

Breakdown: The directions to their store link to a random street in the middle of Stockholm, Sweden and not Seattle, Washington which they are claiming to be. BIG: Look under the "Frequently asked Questions" sections and each FAQ drop down contains the same block of text...

"Meditation williamsburg kogi blog bushwick pitchfork polaroid austin dreamcatcher narwhal taxidermy tofu gentrify aesthetic."

and it does not contain any actual information. The FAQ questions may appear to be legitimate, however the answers are certainly not.

This company is listing high end and brands that people actively seek out to purchase such as but not limited to "Patagonia", "Arc'Teryx", "Canada Goose", "The North Face", etc. AZ is clearly an attempt to scam customers and steal their information by appearing at the top of search results when looking for these brands of clothing to sell. They offer exceptional discounts that would be appealing to any pocket-conscious buyer. I recommend swift and immediate action before they are allowed to steal any further personal information and possibly identifiers that are typically required with the online shipping and billing checkout process.

Contact was made on Instagram as Anderson_fursuit_creations offered open commisions for fur suits.

An agreement was made for $**** for a Full Partial. Half up front, half when suit was finished.

A Reference sheet for colors and design was sent. The initial payment was sent to a Tammie Gillenwater on Paypal. Address for shipment was provided.

I was then told there was problem and to send them the rest of the money. I said no, and contacted Paypal.

A week later I was presented with a picture of a completed partial that looked nothing like the Reference sheet.

I contacted a reputable fur suit maker that I had worked with before. They noted that the picture was stolen from a fellow suit maker and the guy I was in contact with was most likely a scam.

I messaged him again, noted I found the owner of the suit he was trying to put off as his own and requested a refund.

He has since not responded.

- Reno, NV, USA

Ordered a custom NFL Jersey on 9/28/2023. Received 11/3/2023. Right team, but wrong number and name. Requested refund. The company agreed and said it would take 2-3 business days. They did not request to have the jersey returned to them. Waited 15 days before following up. Was told the refund had been processed. They provided some screenshot of the refund transaction where there was no reference to the card type or card number the refund was supposedly issued to. Never received the refund after multiple emails over several weeks. Was lied to about the refund being sent and told to work it out with my credit care company. Concerning business practices.

- Avon, NC, USA

Purchased finance indicator with Pilotrades.com. Pilotrades.com is no longer accessible. Open source research reveals that the business is now being ran as Tradefluxion.com. I emailed their service to ask for help with my account login and product updates on 11/29/2023 and 12/5/2023 with no response. Pilotrades.com is accessible through the wayback machine. No location or phone is given for either company. Assumed location of Plano Texas is from open source research but not verifiable. There are multiple complaints on TrustPilot. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/pilotrades.com

The whois.com registrant is a privacy company in Canada called "Contact Privacy". It seems the owner of both business is being intentionally deceitful. I wanted to file an actual complaint but the business is not in your database. Again I would like help accessing my account and products that I paid for. Price paid: $1,498.00 on 3/21/2023. I doubt I am the only person who would like to know the scammers identity for possible legal action. Thank you.

the website pays you for sending emails and once you reach a $300 min you get paid out. I have reached my min and entered in my bank information to get paid and never did. they do not have a phone number where you can reach out to someone just an email but when you email them it says that the email is no longer supported and then you get no response. There are so many people that are having the same issue. People depend on that especially when they hear success stories and people saying that they have gotten paid but some do not. Not to mention you pay into this. Its infuriating.

7 days after a purchase online, I received an alert that this "company" attempted to charge my CC account. It was not the same as the business I charged from. I had to cancel the card.

they where able to just get money with out permission or noledge of them doing so

I purchased Hey Dudes online and when it had been awhile since I ordered, I ran tracking number (RG017085929CN) and got message "Notice Left (No Authorized Recipient Available). We attempted to deliver your item at 10:27 am on July 6, 2023 in ******* ** *** **** ** ***** and a notice was left because an authorized recipient was not available". I live nowhere near there and when I placed order, my shipping address was *** ***** **** ****** ******* ** *****. I contacted USPS and requested package be redirected and it is showing as ineligible and will be returned to company. I reached out to ********************* and no response whatsoever.

ONE_TIME_OFFER (-$12.48)”

I completed my order using PayPal and the money was taken out instantly. I was sent an email stating my order was received with a tracking number. On 5/30/2023 I was sent another email stating my order was on its way with a tracking number. The company’s website states that it is located at Company Name:AROTSUKIT TECHNOLOGY LIMITED

Company Adress:502 E 9th St, Des Moines, IA 50319

Company Email:[email protected] and yet I was charged by “Lamoon Limited” and the tracking number claimed it was coming from China.

On 7/2/2023 these items were still not delivered or received. I checked the tracking information only to find that USPS said the tracking number was incorrect and they had “no

Information” for me. The entire thing is a scam.

I made a purchase but never received any confirmation of shipping the items. Only content was an email ********************* but I have not received a response in 4 days

- Leesburg, FL, USA

These people are true scammers at Daornis. I was given a tracking number almost a month ago for a $56 aquarium filter. Today the package is going to be delivered, but not to my address. It is going to Montana and I live in Florida. First it came into New York, then to Colorado, then Utah, lastly Montana. The business is listed as being in Pennsylvania but that is a fake address. This was supposedly shipped April 20th. I notified the seller that I knew I was scammed and now they are not answering. I will now have to dispute this with the credit card company. Avoid this website at all cost. They are thieves.

Paid for online taring course. Once money was sent, heard nothing from her. I have emailed her a dozen time with no response

Website indicated that a U.S. passport application would be completed and submitted for processing. The security icon indicated that it was a secure site.

I provided the application information and submitted my credit card information for payment of $128.95..

I requested confirmation and the status of my passport application but I received no response.

My son came to help with my application processing. He also received no confirmation from that website, nor from the U.S. Passport website. At that point my son realized that I had paid only for the website to complete the form for me, despite the company's service description to also provide the passport application process.

My obvious concern is that I provided a wealth of personal information to a website that appears to be a scam.
