Today I noticed charges on my card that were not from me. Turns out they are from a guy I used to date years ago. I found out by calling the place that one of the charges was from, the manager was able to look it up and gave me his name and address.
What can I do? I didn’t even know he had my card saved. Idk if he’s done this in the past and I missed it? I filed a claim with my bank and cancelled my card. I need advice, is there anything else I can do. If i find mote charges that exceed $100 I do plan on filing a police report. It’s a misdemeanor in California

I researched some information from Beenverified, at the beginning, it required me to pay $1, but it ended up charging me $29.99 monthly afterward. I thought I cancelled the subscription but I don't really remember now. I used Paypal account to pay $1 to Beenverified at first, why I used Paypal, not credit cards because I keeps very minimum amount in Paypal, so I thought the most worst scenario would be I lost all money in Paypal which is around $100, that's why I choose Paypal, not my credit cards. I always think like this for those not very well-known companies. I didn't aware it charged Paypal for a year until recently. I then kept searching Beenverified' s charging activities with Paypal, I found out it charged Paypal for almost 1 year (it should have got no money from Paypal already cos I usually keeps around $100 in Paypal only), Beenverified used Paypal to link to my bank card that I used to link with Paypal for that charge for 2 months that I never authorized Paypal to do so, then after 2 months, it moved its charge directly from my credit card to my bank account with that credit card linked to my bank account via Paypal. In today's world, we are always surrounded by scammers and bad business practicing companies, we have to be very careful.

The mods in every Melanie favored community keep taking this down

I was at work and got hit with like 8 Citibank alerts for various amounts at the same time. I froze my card but it was too late and $2500 was gone. I contacted Citi and they were annoying about it. I ended up getting emails for the items they purchased online and then went to pickup. There's names on the emails. 1 email actually had my wife's name, but all my info. Now I have to get a new bank card and change passwords on EVERYTHING. I don't even know where to start

PSA do not buy anything from this scam company. They are not a non profit or charity. They do not donate any money they receive from purchases towards helping dogs. They are a total scam operation and just went through all my posts reporting me multiple times trying to get me banned and the info I posted on “rescuedogs” subreddit taken down.

Scammers "INTERNATIONAL BUYER BEWARE"
Timeline of Lies and Chat GPT Responses that masterfully delay delivery.

Instead of responding professionally in regard to customers delivery issues and complaints instead they use Chat GPT to defensively respond aggressively and emotionally instead of providing the most import element which is the tracking number that shows a definite timeline, customers deliver address.

Update since my original post on August 28th. It is now September 1st and I have yet to receive my goods ordered on July 28th. In fact the original bogus tracking number that they gave me is now showing invalid with the USPS once ARStore/ARStoreclub saw this review on Trust Pilot. So I am out of my payment and doubt that I will ever receive my order, which is fine. BUYERS PLEASE BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY

I purchased a pair of shoes on July 28th. It is now August 28th and I have not received my purchase.

The merchant expressly responded that it cannot provide a guaranteed August 28 delivery date because neither the international carrier nor relevant import authorities have provided such a commitment.

One month after accepting my payment, the merchant:

Has not delivered my merchandise

Cannot provide a firm delivery date

Has not produced carrier documentation displaying my destination city or ZIP code

Has not produced documentation displaying my name as the recipient

Has not produced documentation identifying my merchandise

Has not established the complete connection between my order and the alleged international shipment

Continues retaining my money while requesting that I continue waiting through an indefinite international logistics process.
USPS Tracking: 9214490358940702427781 (Which is now showing as an invalid USPS Tracking Number)
Internal Reference: CY60801-0011
Latest Event: August 26, 2026 — Delivery has been made at the destination port. (Never happened)

Despite how enticing the website may appear. I would NEVER Order from this site. In fact after purchase I had to find their contact information on social media to email them asking for a received confirmation. Whatever language there is on Reddit and Trust Pilot and Google that would ban me from posting on their sites I fully declare all of those words in two words! Online Fraud!!!

I’ve been doing my research for the past month and it’s worse than I thought let me tell you some statistics I found with links to the websites that mention them so you can see how they made those stats. So just in 2024 ALONE OVER 2.6 MILLION FTC FRAUD REPORTS WERE FILED and that doesn’t count unreported fraud. Now for the number of money loss A STAGGERING $12.5 BILLON 0.76% of the population in 2024 had reported fraud in 2024 which doesn’t seem as big until you actually see 2.6 MILLION (link https://www.ftc.gov/news-events/news/press-releases/2025/03/new-ftc-data-show-big-jump-reported-losses-fraud-125-billion-2024) . Now for the FBI a little over one million and reported losses were over $20 BILLION that’s 0.30% of the population that reported to the FBI alone in 2025. (links https://www.ic3.gov/AnnualReport/Reports/2025_IC3Report.pdf? and https://www.fbi.gov/file-repository/2025_ic3report.pdf?) Now for the how many cases get “solved” and the suspects get convicted in 2024 ONLY A LITTLE OVER 5K PEOPLE WENT TO JAIL FOR FRAUD THATS ONLY AROUND 8.6-9% OF FRAUD CASES. links (https://www.ussc.gov/about/annual-report-2024 and https://www.ussc.gov/research/sourcebook/archive/sourcebook-2024). This information is genuinely gut wrenching it feels almost hopeless but hopefully there’s a way to still live a happy life and get a wife.

Around 5 days back I suffered phishing fraud as my careless ass entered the Otp after getting tricked and not carefully reading the Otp. Instantly blocked the card, complained on the 1930. Sent mails to bank, bank is denying responsibility due to Otp entered by me. I have visited the police station too but no action has been taken till now. Amount is significant for a broken guy like me. What are my options.

I’m in Australia and have had two unauthorised MoneyGram transactions appear on my ANZ account, for $700 and $100.49, totalling $800.49.
I did not make or authorise either transaction. I contacted ANZ immediately, my card was cancelled and replaced. The transactions are currently pending, so ANZ has told me I have to wait until they process before I can formally dispute them.
I contacted MoneyGram twice and gave them the information they requested, but they initially said they couldn’t find either transaction in their system. I then emailed them and have now received confirmation that their team is reviewing the matter and will provide a full response once their investigation is complete.
ANZ has told me that once the transactions process, I can lodge the fraud dispute, which could then take 14 to 60 days.
I’m travelling overseas in about two weeks, so I’m worried about having $800.49 tied up.
Has anyone been through something similar with ANZ and MoneyGram?
Did MoneyGram eventually find the transactions? Did ANZ refund you? Did you get all your money back, and how long did it take?
I’m particularly interested in hearing from people who have actually dealt with unauthorised MoneyGram transactions.

Two months ago, I started creating a postprocessor for CNC punch press for a client in Egypt. We agreed that he would pay me in three installments as I unlocked new features for him. But because he was in a hurry to launch production, and he claimed he was having problems with his EU transfer, I was sending him new versions and unlocking new features in the program. Now, the program is fully functional, and I'm out of pocket. What do you think?Fraud?
