The guy gave us 5 different credit cards to use and none of them worked. We required prepay on these items.

Everything just seems shady. The man has an accent and his phone was cutting out a bit.

I am a woman, lives in Greece, Tried to use their forwarding shipping service via one of their warehouse locates in UK to send my clothes I bought on UK website that does not ship to Greece. I thought this company locates in UK but it seems like their r main office and main warehouse are in Serasota, Florida. Anyway, The first of all, the shipping cost got charged twice accidentally. Once at the door which I chose to, Twice from my bank account( they just took money without any of my permission!! ) --The parcel arrived. I immediately noticed that 1 item is missing from the invoice. So I immediately inquired them. They said I could just make the new shipping label again for missing item and pay for it (!?) which is absolutely their fault. Why would I have to? So I complained, Then I’ve got given $15 store credit to ship the missing item. So I was about to arrange a new shipment for the missing item. But all of sudden, they shipped the item without noticing me. They just emailed me that they just sent it. In my mind, that's weird But I also I found out they stole money from my bank account again $2 for exceeded amount for shipping because shipping costed $17 at the end. Another problem. They accessed my bank details and took $15 again. I inquired what for. they said it’s for storage fee for an item. because this item was sitting inside of the warehouse too long. They said they have to charge me for this. But the item they are talking about was the item they failed and missed to ship from the invoice (!?!?!!!!!?!?) That’s completely their fault that the item has been at the warehouse too long but they just made me pay ( took money for this WTF?! ?!) The missing item arrived at the door(finally!) GUESS WHAT? The delivery man tried to charge me $17 at the door saying the shipping fee is unpaid !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I refused to pay for this charge though the delivery guy really asked me to but since the time being, I haven’t got any refund from those unauthorises charges so I was extremely skeptical about them I just refused to pay for this unknown mysterious charge and receive my item. I complained to them again. They are saying the $17 at the door was asked to pay was not for the mistake double charged shipping fee, (which i thought) It was for the custom charges. But there’s no way I get charge for $17 for the custom because the price of the item was only for $7. I told them, even if it was actually $17, They have to cover all of the cost since this is the shipment for the mistakenly missed item from the first invoice. But as you expect, they keep refusing to compensate all the charges. The item got sent back to their UK warehouse unfortunately. I really don’t know what to do. They took my money from my bank account, they refusing to give me back also they still have my item. I just want to receive it get everything done but they keep trying to scam me based on the item. They keep refusing to give me back any money either. They are absolutely insufferable also the biggest theft. I was furious about them so I kept inquiring but nothing has really happened. I’ve been messed around really badly. I’ve been going through emails emails emails emails with them SINCE LAST DECEMBER and they still refusing to refund those money and they don’t tell me my item is

The scammer used tactics that were not easy to confirm whether or not they were valid in their request. They had asked initially for an insurance payment to cover the shipped package, and they went to add on a tax conversion fee along with a diplomatic seal. Each of these costs was refundable when the package was delivered. If payment was not made, they threatened to add costs to the delivery saying that the package would have to stay in a warehouse overnight until it could be resolved the next morning which carried a fee of 160 CAD. When payment was refused they said the package would be returned to the original shipper.

We filled out information online to have a vehicle shipped, this number reached out to me just like other numbers have. We talked about details and he sent me an invoice for a down payment. Once I paid it online, he said he would call me back with shipping details and then hung up on me.

I was offered a position as a remote assistant. I was contacted through email to reach out to Mr Sutter on Skype. I was asked a series of questions and then offered the job with a W4 to fill out and return. I then received a check for $4000 through Fed ex and told to deposit it. I did not deposit when he was pushed about it.

I was told by a friend he was shipping me a car via All Best Shipping. (they only use one “p” in the spelling of their email address). That business contacted me via email and ask for a delivery fee. I paid via Cashapp Bitcoin $1850.00 and they never delivered. I think my online friend lied to me and is the leader of a Federal Scam Operation. This business is supposedly operating out of Texas. I live in North Carolina.

I was scammed through an elaborate consignment box scam. I paid for a package that was shipped through a company called "Carribbean Speedex Logistics" who over the course of a few weeks demanded money for fake certificates, fees and fines.

There was an ad on Facebook for discounted Pendelton Outlet products. I "purchased" 4 items at a total cost of 85 dollars. I truly thought I was purchasing from a domestic retailer, but the address after the sale came up for a fictious address in Paris France, (using an American address format). This made me suspicious, and I attempted to cancel the transaction, but immediately the items were "magically" picked and shipped. Thus began the waiting game. I received tracking info, none of which was tracible, showing slow, delayed movement from Paris to Reno. The package has been stuck somewhere supposedly in my hometown for 11 days now. I have tried the contact email with no response.

Recieved a piece of jewlery in the mail from an unknown source. It came in a box with Zales logo on it, so as to appear legitimate. Looked up address and found it’s a

Shipping scam. It’s a china based company using this address..beware!! The jewelry isn’t real.

I received a forwarded email message from a trusted friend who is aware we play the piano and wanted to share this good deal. The forwarded email stated that a recent widow was downsizing and interested in donating a Steinway Piano; the email indicated that we could look at it and then arrange a pick up date. I emailed the "owner" who went by Rachel Bate ([email protected]). Rachel emailed pictures of the Steinway Baby Grand Piano and stated that the piano was almost new, that it was her late husband's and stated that she had moved into an apt and provided her "mover's" contact details. She stated that the arrangements should be made today as she did not want to pay the storage any longer. The storage information and movers details that Rachel Bate provided were: Storage Ref #: AZEDGUNP77; Contact name: Bryan Jeffers; Contact Details: [email protected]; website: www.axonshippers.com. She added during the correspondence that she had used these movers for 6+ years and "pleased with their services." Bryan Jeffers, Warehouse Manager, Axon Shippers sent me three options to ship the piano. Bryan Jeffers also sent me a picture of a shipping crate with the print "Steinway Piano" and on top right "Axon Shipping." He stated that the crate was ready to be shipped, and upon request, I provided Bryan Jeffers with my name, delivery address, phone number, reportedly to prepare a shipping quote and invoice (Bryan Jeffers described himself as my "onboarding shipping assistant throughout the shipping process." Bryan Jeffers reiterated what Rachel Bate, the "owner" specifically that "the owner of the piano wants it out today so she won't have to incur extra storage fees."

Bryan Jeffers asked that I make payment to "enable the delivery to commence." Bryan Jeffers wanted me to send Zelle payment to: "Zelle ID: [email protected]; Zelle name: Jasper Vargas; Narration: AXON; Amount: $615.00." I attempted to make the payment via Zelle, however, this email address was not recognized by Zelle, so I did not continue. Rather, I cautiously informed them of the information and Bryan Jeffers apologized for the inconvenience and offered that I try to submit payment using the following number: 347.791.1513 and asked that I contact him when the transaction was completed. I realized that this was possibly a scam and ignored additional attempts the "shipper" and "owner" made to reach me to include additional emails and then phone calls. The "owner" Rachel Bate's who was copied in all the correspondence was complicit in this scam.

I did an online purchase through a private party on Facebook Messenger who said they would deliver. They used this service and I got a 'you need to give us $150 as insurance" message. I said that I didn't think that was going to happen, then the private party (Phillip Armstrong) said it was partly their fault this happened and said they would kick in $50. I went back and forth with Ultralogistics a few times and realized I was pretty sure I had been scammed.

No contact since.

Paid FB page for chickens and included shipment. Contacted courier service after tracking number did not give me info. They asked me to pay $150 for insurance on chicken and was not told about this prior, said it was insurance and kept emailing me requesting money said it was refundable. I refused to do so and asked them to ship birds without insurance, they refused. Contacted vendor as well and have not heard back. Did separate report for vendor.
