I bought a 1 year bible devotional on faithful heart on 12/21/2025 from [email protected] (alpha 1 store). their address is. 25 North Gould Street, Sheridan WY 82801, United States. I later discovered today that on my Wells Fargo account I got charged 3 times for $39.99 on January, February, March 17 2026 labeled God is great. I never accepted a membership or to be charged monthly. When I looked at the charges it was from God is great, which is from emails I've been sent from monthly from [email protected] . Their location address is 503 77th Ave N St. Petersburg, Florida 33702 and their website is herworddaily.com (alpha 2 store). Please help me get my refund. Neither of these sites have phone numbers!

Changed my name several years ago, and and now my credit history is a mess. How do I fix it? First off, sorry if this isn't the right subreddit - if there's a better place for this, please direct me to it! Basically though, I'm in the US, and I legally changed my first and last name in 2018. I got my social security card and ID updated, and updated it with my credit union and insurance and stuff, but didn't realize that I needed to report that change to the credit bureaus and all of my creditors. Kind of stupid, I know, and if I could go back and change the past I would, but here we are. Now, though, I *have* reported it to the three bureaus (TransUnion, Equifax, and Experian), and my reports have the right name, as well as (I think) all the history under that name, but are missing history from my old name. CreditKarma, meanwhile, seems to only have accounts and addresses from a year or two before I changed my name. It's been almost a year since I submitted the name change to TransUnion, so CK *should* have it by now, but it still won't let me change my legal name. Everything I can find online says that all of my credit history should be linked, since it's all under the same SSN, but clearly that's not what's happening. When I tried calling the bureaus, I could only get ahold of TransUnion, and it took three reps to even understand what my problem is - they said if I change my name with my creditors, it should fix it on my report. But that still doesn't explain why CK isn't updating, or why my old addresses are missing from my TransUnion report. I also had an issue three months ago where someone fraudulently opened a Wells Fargo account in my old name. I froze my credit, reported the fraud and got the account closed, all that jazz, but I don't understand how someone was able to open an account under that name when it hasn't been the name linked to my SSN in almost a decade? It shouldn't be an issue now, I set up all the security stuff the bureaus offer, but mayb

Wells Fargo Wix Secure message regarding loan I have been a customer of Wells Fargo for over twenty years. Today I got an email from Wells Fargo with a secure message using Wix. I’ve never had them send me anything like that before. Anyway, I logged on and it required a secure verification code so I thought it might be legitimate. The message said that I had a document missing from my small business credit card application. I’ve never applied for this. There was a phone number at the bottom. So I called it. It was an automated system. I spoke to a representative and he said that he could look up my account by the application number (which I didn’t have) or my social security number 🫪. NO!! Just a heads up!

Someone called me claiming to be an Andrews Federal Credit Union employee, telling me that my account was compromised and that I needed to move 30K into another account in China to protect myself from fraud. They instructed me to go into the bank and say I was getting a wire for my son to build a house and told me not to bring my phone inside. I am in my 80's so It didn't register to me that something may be odd about the situation. They then provided me with wire information attached to a Wells Fargo account under the name of "Russell Miller" ACCT # 6254326678 ROUTING 121000248 Home Address 240 Cohen Dr, Zanesville, Ohio 43701 PHONE NUMBER (425-341-3223) and (310-564-8231). Upon researching this person Russell Miller of Zanesville Ohio died in 2016, we tried to make Wells Fargo aware but they informed me and my banker there was nothing they could do because the person reporting it is not their member. This is concerning for a number of reasons number first, the person who's identity they stole is dead, and secondly, these people are scamming innocent individuals. This account needs to be frozen or genuinely looked into as Identity theft is illegal as well as scamming.

Nexfold appears to be a scam and fraudulent company that preys on people seeking employment. I applied for this job and was originally hired as an inspector, then promoted to purchasing agent. They send two packages for test/training and never send the second label. They also sent a check for $1200, deposited it into an a Wells Fargo bank account. When it was time for the second one, my account went negative, they blocked me and never responded to my messages nor my phone calls.

Son’s SSN used for CC accounts and car loans while son lives in Germany My husband and I got back from vacation and found a letter for our son from his bank, informing him that his credit limit got lowered due too too many accounts, most of them overdrawn (we have permission from son to open his mail). We were confused, since he only has one CC from Wells Fargo ever since he finished High School. Since he studies and lives in Germany we had to wait for next day to inform him of these events. He froze all three credit reports and put a fraudulent alert on it, and I was able to get into one credit report company to get his report. It is not possible for him to do so since he has a German IP address and a German phone number. I got him his credit reports from two company, but the tricky part is the ID thief opened all three accounts for the credit reporting companies with new addresses, phone number and email. I found all three when I finally got into Equifax and disputed addresses and phone number. Problem is that the freeze pin might have been sent to the ID thief. I started the dispute with Equifax while my son signed up with IDtheft.gov. The thief opened so many account since last year, and if Wells Fargo would not have send the letter we would not have known, the thief never touched my son’s original CC account! Opened over 15 though, paid some regularly, closed some, declared some successfully as fraudulent and even got a car loan which is still under investigation. My son never lost his SSN card or wallet, not sure how it got into hands of ID thief, who opened accounts with all three credit reporting companies, added two addresses, a different phone number and email address which I found when he signed up for fraud alert trial. Fortunately it’s still on the report. Unfortunately My problem is how to proof that it is not my son who opened the accounts for the Credit cards where Equifax decided it is his account? All of those are closed but there are huge s

Colorado - Served by Wells Fargo for credit card debt. What should my next steps be? **Location: Colorado** I got served today by Wells Fargo over a credit card debt for about $8,450. I know it’s my debt and I’m not trying to get out of paying it, but I definitely can’t pay it all at once. I could probably do monthly payments if they’ll work with me. I’ve never been sued before and honestly have no idea what the best move is. Do I file an Answer first and then try to work something out with their attorney, or should I call the law firm now? Also, for an amount like this, is it even worth hiring an attorney or should I just handle it myself? Thanks in advanced!

We had an inspector from AAA Contracting tell us we needed expensive posts and beams installed under our home but when we had another contractor check, the contractor told us that all the posts and beams were already there. AAA Contracting/AAA Inspections then charged our credit card for $260.00 when we never gave them a credit card number nor did we ever authorize them to charge our card. We reported them to the licensing board, and Wells Fargo to dispute the charge. AAA Contracting told us that we needed $6,925.00 worth of posts and beams and anchors under our home when all the posts and beams were already there. A reputable company came out and verified that the posts and beams were already there and the actual cost of the anchors was only $2500.00 AAA Contracting/AAA Inspections are connected (family relations) and are running a scam operation by taking advantage of seniors seeking reverse mortgages and needing foundation certifications. AAA makes up a list of unneeded repairs and then waits to be paid at the closing of the mortgage. Unknowing seniors are scammed out of their money at closing and no one detects the scam. They tried to charge us for the bogus report by getting a hold of our credit card information and we are infuriated about this violation. AT NO TIME did we agree to pay them a penny because we detected they were scammers from the first few minutes of dealing with them.

An advertisement on the smart phone featured Dr,. Gupta, a well-known and respected Dr., My wife responded to the ad featuring a way to remember things better. She believed that it was the Dr reporting on this product. As me, 78, and my wife 87, are not remembering things, even serious appointments, etc. , my[ wife ordered these pills in good faith, finding out later that it was a bogus Ai scam, and the ingredients of the Neurocept product don't match with any well respected memory formulas, with one exception, huperzine. We would like to get our money back, as it is needed, our social security not being adequate to cover scam products of this sort. We intend to, in the future, to be more careful regarding claims made for health products. I contacted a scam consultation agency about this company, and find that this company doesn't return phone calls or e--mail, and wonder if we can get our money back by other means. Please direct me to any help available......She used Wells Fargo credit card. [BBB Scam Type: Counterfeit Product] [Business: Endurox Prime Neurocept Date Repor] [Location: NC, USA - 28675]

This website was on an Instagram ad and advertised that a lady was retiring who handmade garden owls with individual placed feathers, that moved with motion and were one foot to 16 inches in length. It said that this website is the only one with the original owl. And others are fake, it turns out this site is selling counterfeit products. I got 2 of the owls today and they are 4 inch plastic 10 cent in value products. When I tried to initiate a return, they said I could only have a voucher for their company. They also said I would have to return the items to Hong Kong.And then a decision would be made to return my money. I wanted to report this , because I have just lost a hundred bucks plus shipping and this company, who responds in German language, who is in China, is making it look like they are a company in the United States. They have my debit card. My name and address and I don't want anyone else to have to go through what I'm going through and lost and the fear of money being stolen from Wells Fargo account further..
