Retail Business - Home Warranty Division

I work in an insurance office and one of our insureds received this notice in the mail. They brought it in, very angry, stating if they received another notice like that, they would cancel all of their policies with us. They did not ask for any money at this stage. Only asked for a call regarding a home warranty that had run out or expired. They threaten that failure to call and prevent lapse could result in liability for all repair costs. It even states that they reserve the right to revoke eligibility for service after expiration date of 2/27/2025.

Other - Everyday Technology Updates VivoLoop, alias Commerce Core UAB

They trick you by adding items to your order when you think you are changing your order, then refuse to cancel the order when you call right away. I had to contact my credit company to cancel payment. The evil company pretends to check and cancel an order, drags their feet, then says it is too late, the order is shipped. If you say you will refuse the shipment, they threaten you. HQ is in Lithuania, which should be a good country.

Counterfeit Product

The original cost was to be $39.95 with shipping and sales taxes. Which was not calculated by seller until purchase was made. I saw that the cost was higher due to the sales taxes being $11.68 along with a hidden fee of .80 for insurance. The sales taxes should’ve only been $3.30 at Texas .825 % . I tried to cancel the order the next day but they said it was already shipped. I reached out to PayPal to dispute the order and received the tax and insurance back but not the full payment amount. The item arrived 3 weeks later only to be the wrong size and color. Disputed it again with the company and PayPal only to be asked to give it to someone else and accept $8. PayPal told me the item was “close enough “ in description for them to deny my claim. The seller has ceased correspondence with me as of February 15, 2025.

Online Purchase

I tried to purchase a Beagle puppy, and the breeder requested payment for shipping. I was then informed that the puppy had been dropped off at the freight service. After a while, I was contacted by the freight company, which stated there would be a $1,000 fee for shipping insurance. I paid $750, as the breeder had already paid $250 of the $1,000 fee. I tracked the puppy and saw that it had a delivery scheduled for February 19th at 4 PM. However, shortly before 4 PM, I received an email saying the puppy was on hold in Chattanooga, TN, and that I would need to pay a $2,000 city permit fee required by customs in order to proceed. I refused to pay this fee. Now, they are threatening me with legal action for animal abuse.

Employment

I don't have solid proof but it feels very suspicious. 1. The WhatsApp profile name was Melissa Edwards while the person introduced themselves as Diana. 2. When I asked where they obtained my contact info or work profile, they responded ,"We work withanh agencies like JobStreet, LinkedIn and we got your contact through them". When I pointed out I didn't use my WhatsApp number for job application or profiles, they avoided it. 3. Quoting their messages: "Before I share this good job could you please check if you meet the company's requirements. REQUIREMENTS *U.S. Citizen or Permanent Resident *25 years or older Free training and no experience necessary. Please confirm "Yes or No" if you meet the criteria."
