I called Sewickley Chimney Sweeps (SCS) (phone 412 282 7510) to fix a gas fireplace that kept going out after being on for 20 minutes to 3 hours. SCS was referred by my HOA. "James" came out Dec 15th and said it was the thermocouple and another part. He needed to order parts and charged $100 for this service visit. As I wrote check he said their name had been changed to Pure Flow. I checked with the office number I had and they confirmed Pure Flow and Sewickley Chimney Sweeps are connected. "James" returned on Dec 22nd, ostensibly with the new parts, which he "proceeded to install". I did not watch the work being done. He required a $500 check for the new parts and installation. He showed me that the fireplace turned on and left. Unfortunately after he left it was clear that the fireplace was going out at varying intervals of 10 min to 3 hours. I called the SCS number Jan 23rd after returning from a trip out of the country and reported that the problem had not been fixed. They told me someone would be in touch. I called them Feb 10th, Feb 12, 13, 17, 19 and 21st. Spoke with RJ, Nell, Omar and Joe. Each time I was told "James" would get back to me - never did. At the end I was told David is in charge and he is "in and out" but would call me. Never did. I referred this issue to Anthony, President of our HOA, who was told someone would call him. No one ever did. I am now out $600 with a gas fireplace that has not been fixed. [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Sewickley Chimney Sweeps] [Location: PA, USA- 15143]

I was attempting to buy a bulldog online. I found this website on Google for puppies that were for sale. I was texting back-and-forth with the accountant of the company who advised I would have to Zelle money in order for the puppy to be shipped which is typical for puppies that are in different states I sent $500 and my bank blocked the second transaction into which I called my bank and they advised that this company was a scam. I attempted to get my money back and the company would not send me the $500 back and stop responding to my text messages. They appeared legitimate from their website and they were very reassuring that they were not a scam at first, but after the money was sent, they changed their tune and stopped responding. @media (min-width:768px){.css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis:auto;-ms-flex-preferred-size:auto;flex-basis:auto;width:calc(100% * 6 / var(--Grid-parent-columns) - (var(--Grid-parent-columns) - 6) * (var(--Grid-parent-columnSp [BBB Scam Type: Other] [Business: Michaels Paws] [Location: FL, USA- 34240]

I was offered a remote job by “Talixo Group” via email from [email protected] , subsequently changed to [email protected] . I was also contacted via text from (321) 666-5328. The interview process switched to Microsoft Teams chat, where I got a link to complete an online form. After completing the form, I received an offer letter and was asked to complete onboarding forms, including a W-4, and front/back scans of my driver's license. I did all this and was later instructed to purchase work equipment, and a $500 store card with my own money or accept a reimbursement check. Workers at the Apple store, that I went to, alerted me to the impending scam. They showed me a similar online complaint where they even sent a fake reimbursement cheque to the victim. .css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis:auto;-ms-flex-preferred-size:auto;flex-basis:auto;width:calc(100% * 12 / var(--Grid-parent-columns) - (var(--Grid-parent-columns) - 12) * (var(--Grid-parent-columnSpacing) / var(--Grid-parent-columns)));min-width:0;box-sizing:border-box; [BBB Scam Type: Employment] [Business: Talixo Group] [Location: AR, USA- 72204]

I purchased an airfare ticket on justairticket.com, then someone calls me and hour later to tell me it was only a standby ticket with not even a personal item or carry on allowance. Then they wanted to charge me $60 to "upgrade" it to an actual ticket. Then he changed it to $70 for an actual ticket. I'm still not allowed any luggage or even a personal item at this point. When I booked the ticket, the website said that there was 24 hour cancellation, but when I tried to cancel, they said that I could either 1.) get an e-credit with one specific airline, and it takes 7-14 business days to process, 2.) or I can get a cash refund, but they will charge me about 50% of what you spent as a cancellation fee. When I booked the ticket I clearly recalled that there was a "free 24 hour cancellation" policy, but this is an outright lie. Then the guy says that if I hold on for a few minutes he will contact the airline and try to talk the price down. After being on hold for a few minutes, he says the airline is willing to charge me only an additional $40 to "upgrade" to a real ticket. What had I spent $329 on - air?! I just want to get my ticket and get on with my day, so I tell him to just charge the $40. He then says that someone from the airlines will contact me within the hour to confirm my booking information. Two hours go by and no one calls me, so I called the (201) 942-1029 phone number and speak to a Rihanna who refused to answer my yes/no question - do I have a ticket or not? She says she needs to verify my information first. They have all my information already! I told her that it was a simple yes/no question and that she should just answer it before wasting both of our time to verify a maybe booking. She said she couldn't help me and transferred me to someone else. Now the new guy tells me that I still don't have a ticket because the basic economy, [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Justairticket.com] [Location: CA,

Starting on January 31, I have been called twice a day with the same/similar voicemail script: "Hello, this is [name] I'm the credit analyst working on your approval I see that you had inquired regarding a personal line of credit or consolidation loan and while it didn't move forward at the time a few things have changed this year with rates and underwriting most likely we can get you approved for about[amount between 40-60k] underwriting notes shows just pending income verification if you're still interested in reviewing your options press one now or give us a call back at [number beginning in 855, varies] I'll be happy to go over your terms with you looking forward to speak with you…” On January 31st, the caller claimed to be called Adriana Salazar.

Met through FB marketplace. Decided to make purchase and provide deposit for keeping on hold for me. I ended up canceling purchase. Offered to review partial deposit back. They miscommunicated they did not want to it was fine. I requested for my deposit. They then changed their mind. I said ok, I would give them some to keep. I requested $40 out of the $45 I sent. She did not like that. She blocked me on instagram. Then I tried contacting through Venmo, also blocked. Then through instagram. She said on IG she had no refund policy but I made purchase thru Facebook and during our convo no mention of no refund was made. I disputed with Venmo. I will try to dispute with bank. I will be filing a police report. I have pictures of our conversations I can provide as well. @media (min-width:768px){.css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis:auto;-ms-flex-preferred-size:auto;flex-basis:auto;width:calc(100% * 6 / var(--Grid-parent-columns) - (var(--Grid-parent-columns) - 6 [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: The dusted capsule] [Location: CA, USA- 91776]

I tried to give my husband the ability to write his personal story. On 2/9/2026 I purchased the plan, #of books, starter kit, memory spark, and photo enhancer the total amount was for $332.99. However I could not directly call to talk to the company about his contact information. I tried to find a spot on the web site to call and ask how to make sure he got the account in his name. They have NO area to submit that information on the website. When I tried their email I only received a reply that they had no phone account. I signed up with my information thinking I could get the account changed to his name. I contacted the company on 2/10/2026 and received an email from Paula that that could be done and sent her all of his information. Jade sent a confirmatory email to determine that was what I wanted to do and I sent her that same information. On 2/11/2026 NO information had been sent to my husband and I was receiving many duplicated sales pitch emails to order the same items and new items "available". I decided to cancel the transactions due to knowing that the flooding of emails would be impossible for my husband to want to try. I received a return email saying it was impossible to cancel the transactions due to having sent the introductory information already (to me which I have not even tried to access). As of 2/14/2026 NO information has been sent to my husband, only to me, and it is impossible to forward it to him and have it opened by him. When I contacted my credit card company to dispute the transactions I found out that Memowrite had not only charge my account $332.99 but had actually charged $439.99. I find this company has many ways to defraud their clients. .css-c8hvdp{--Grid-columns:12;-webkit-flex-direction:row;-ms-flex-direction:row;flex-direction:row;min-width:0;box-sizing:border-box;display:-webkit-box; [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Memowrite] [Location: TX, USA- 75149]

BUYER BEWARE - FALSE ADVERTISING ON BELLATORRI WEBSITE. On January 12, 2026 I placed an order for a handmade, genuine Italian leather jacket "Roberta," and purse "Lucia" from the Bellatorri website. I saw the ad for this father - daughter business for handcrafted Italian leather goods on MSN. The ruse on the website is they hand craft their leather goods by an old, Italian method. The items were being discounted because the shop was going to start outsourcing the items to a manufacturer, or something close to that (the story has since changed on the website). On January 25th, I emailed the company that the shipping email they had sent from CJ Packet did not show any items being tracked or out for shipment and I had not received anything. I received a reply thanking me for my patience regarding my order #BELLA4644, and on January 27th received another shipping & tracking email. On February 12th, I received a polyurethane (PU) jacket from China (says it right on the label) and a PU purse in similar styles to the picture of the jacket and purse I had ordered, but a far cry from Italian leather... also it is shiny and smells like stinky plastic. I have written a note and will be returning the items promptly requesting a full refund. .css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis: [BBB Scam Type: Counterfeit Product] [Business: Bellatorri] [Location: NV, USA- 89521]
