This company is actually based in Singapore but they operate out of several warehouses around the United States. My particular shipment came from North Carolina, but they are supposedly based in Michigan. They send the package out with USPS and claim delivery, but do not send the merchandise. I opened a dispute with my credit card company and then they sent me an extortion email threatening me to cancel the chargeback or else they will file a case against me with the FBI. I explained to them that I already contacted them twice before initiating a chargeback and they failed to respond. Then they make a false promise to give me a full refund if I cancel the chargeback. If I did this, I cannot reopen the case and they would refuse to refund me. Additionally, a lot of their items look to be fraud/fakes according to this nendroid subreddit. I wish I had seen this thread before giving them my money. I am currently trying to get refunded through my credit card company, but it seems like I am not the only one with this experience. They are incredibly rude and hostile over email. https://www.reddit.com/r/Nendoroid/comments/cx9qr8/is_teslas_toys_legit/ [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: TESLA TOYS] [Location: IL, USA- 60608]

On January 29, 2026 I was contacted on TikTok by someone claiming to be Byron Trump. He thanked me for supporting his Dad and asked me if I supported Elon Musk. I said yes and he said he sent a message about me to Elon then asked if I had WhatsApp. I said yes and gave him my #. He told me he sent it to Elon and someone claiming to be Elon contacted me through WhatsApp via text and then he called me and he sounded like Elon Musk. He was very convincing and probably using some type of voice modifying device. He wanted me to invest in Bitcoin and gave me three options. I chose the least expensive, $1000.00 and proceeded to make a transaction until my wife came into the office and put a stop to it. I asked him to video chat but he only sent still pictures of Elon behind a desk and a video of an older woman giving testimony to his credibility. I told him I reported his account and blocked him. I did not go through with the transaction. Lost no money. [BBB Scam Type: Investment] [Business: Tesla/SpaceX] [Location: IL, USA- 60440]

The scam was initiated by an imposter claiming to be Elon Musk or associate. The scam was an investment in a so called private equity Tesla affiliate. the money was sent to Quo Vadis Travel in Doral Fla.(Miami) it was the only money sent to Florida. Additional funds were I sent to other locations. I think this business launders money as the wire sent in January from my Bof A bank in California went to the phony stock options company. I would like to have my money rerturned if possible. This business in Doral Fla. does more than send people on trips!!
