My son and I went to Walmart today and passed by this shelf for $1 of any bag of chocolate chips. The weight ranged from 12-24oz each.

When we did the self checkout, I reminded my son to pay attention of what the price was going to show up. So, that was the first item he scanned. For a 11-12oz bag of white chocolate chips, it showed $2.62. No, it was not $1 as it claimed on the big price tag at the top of the shelf.

So, we asked for help from the staff on duty. She said, “It is only for the bigger bag.” I asked, “You mean the bag which is double of this size?” She said, “Yes, that is the only size our manager authorized.”

Then, I went back to this same shelf and grab a different bag which was 24oz, bigger than the bag we grabbed earlier. I went back to the self checkout again. This time, the same lady scanned it. It showed $4+. She went in manually to overwrite the price and changed it to $1.

I challenged her immediately, “The chocolate chips didn’t occupy a small part of the shelf. It’s a huge shelf from top to bottom of the same product and showed $1. How can you ?do it in this way?” Her answer was, “I can’t answer you.”

After completing our checkout, I purposefully went back into the store to take this video. We often went to Walmart in the past that the price on the shelf didn’t match up the price at the time of checkout. But at this scale, I truly believe that it was done on purpose. Pay attention to the shelf. The only price tag on that shelf was $1 and both signs are HUGE.

How many people just like me saw the great price and grabbed a bag; then he/she forgets to check the price at the checkout?

This is the way how Walmart scammed people to increase their sales. I honestly think that mistakes happen. We are all human. But based on our previous shopping experiences in Walmart, I truly believe that this is done on purpose. Amsterdam NY may be a small town. But $1+ from each customer doing the same thing I did and never challenged the price. It can easily bring in a few tens of thousands of dollars extra to Walmart by cheating.

Please see the video I took right after the checkout where from this same shelf I grabbed both small and bigger bags of chocolate chips from. (I took this video in Walmart at Amsterdam NY on Jan 15, 2023 (Sun) 1:20pm.)

Someone is trying to use my deceased son's name, and my personal home address to set up this fictitious business . I keep getting letter's thru the mail to open bank account and insurance endeavors. Please advise, as I said my son is recently passed. He did not own or operate any business, and my home address is listed for this business with his name. Thanks for your help.

Received a package in mail today that I DID NOT ORDER. Address is linked to an Amazon Fulfillment Center, The Customer rep used the tracking number and reported to me that anonymous person sent me a "gift" and I would not be charged and said it ignore. She could not tell me how my name and address were released by Amazon and did not feel they released it but someone/organization picked it up off an online order and nothing I an do. I reseaarched and found out this could be a "brushing scam" and I wanted to report it.

I posted an item for sale on Facebook Marketplace and was asked to give a verification code for my phone number. I sent the code and now I understand the scammer has my cell phone number which they can use to create a false account and scam people.

The scammer went by the names Zara Zara and Mera Cook - these names and accounts were deleted by the scammer 5 minutes after I sent my cell number.

We received packages from Amazon and third party seller from China with items we did not order. A fake account was set up on Amazon using our surname and address. Checking our credit card, we realized thousands of dollars worth of merchandise and airlines tickets had been fraudulently purchased utilizing our credit card.

This company sent me wine packages three times tomorrow address. I don't drink, when I told the vendor at Viness wines that this was a brush scam attempt they said they would cancel my account. They care about their business and will put a note out to their management about this. However I still keep getting mail showing my account that was created by a brush scammer is still active. They don't care as long ad they make money at my fraudulent expense.

I fell victim to a crypto scammer last year loosing $15,000 to them.
Fortunately I met someone who had also been scammed and he referred me to an investigating firm on:bit.ly/3i3bep7 that helped in tracking and recovery of lost crypto funds, eventually they traced the IP of those scammers and used a back end to access their account and recovered all my lost crypto funds.
In case anyone has also been scammed once again here is the link to fill their complaint form on: bit.ly/3i3bep7 .I hope this awareness gets to whoever has been scammed before to help recover their lost funds.

Tom Engebrecht, Owner of Kay Jay Turf and Snow solicited us for snow plowing for two of our properties. We paid him a total of $800.00. He never has plowed and has sent around 28 emails, each one different, opening and closing said business. This has been a nightmare!!

I received a small first class package that contained an old folded magazine page, nothing else. Concerned about how my address was attained and for what purpose the scam serves. I still have the package if photos are useful.

I visited the AT&T store on Arsenal Street in Watertown, New York to upgrade my mobile phone to a newer model. I arrived at the store around 10:45 and was the only customer in the store while 3-4 employees all listened in on the conversation and what was explained to me. I explained that I wanted to upgrade to any version of the newest Apple iPhone 14. The woman stated that I could only upgrade/purchase any Apple iPhone 14 if I purchase the newest AirPods as well; they can “only be sold as a bundle.” I asked again to clarify and she repeated that I could only upgrade and/or purchase any Apple iPhone 14 if I also purchase the AirPods with it as a bundle. The woman employee then continued to tell me that any Apple iPhone 14 is not compatible with any AirPods other than the newest Apple AirPods Pro. I retrieved my AirPods from my vehicle and confirmed that I already have the newest version that IS compatible with any iPhone 14. I then asked again if I could upgrade/purchase any iPhone 14 without the AirPods since I already own them. She reiterated that it could only be done as a bundle. I left the store unsatisfied with my experience, confused and without upgrading and/or purchasing anything. A few days later I visited the AT&T store in Evans Mills, NY about 11 miles from the AT&T on Arsenal Street in Watertown that I had initially visited. There I worked with a gentleman who, when asked about the Apple iPhone 14 and AirPod bundle, clarified that it was not a requirement to purchase AirPods with the phone and that no offer and/or bundle like that had ever existed. The gentleman also clarified that ANY Apple iPhone AirPods will be compatible with any iPhone 14. I continued with my upgrade and purchases at the Evans Mills, NY store. I was able to upgrade without purchasing the AirPods with my new iPhone 14. I was able to do this because the woman at the Watertown, NY store lied to me about upgrade/purchase requirements and tried to scam me for an extra $249 to benefit herself and her store. I will not return to the Watertown, NY AT&T store because of this interaction alone. I will not recommend this store to anyone. This is a poor reflection of AT&T as a business and a great way to lose customers.
