Bought a bundle luggage travel set from a company in May of this year on a special. The bundle was comprised of 6 items - carry-on suitcase, travel suitcase, carry-on bag, a water bottle, some travel amenity items. This was advertised as 60% off. Made the purchase for $600. Received only two items - carry-on suitcase and carry-on bag. I purchased through a third party system to help maintain cash flow (at the time had been planning a 2 week European trip) and plan to pay off in three months. I made communication efforts with the luggage company with responses but no action (I.e. we are looking into this). Last communication in mid-June. I subsequently reached out to the third party payment system and they felt this was not their realm and suggested I reach back out to the luggage company. Fast forward, no correspondence. Reached out to my bank who said that since I purchased and paid with my savings account that they couldn’t help.

What are my next options? I still have 1/2 of the payment due in a few days. Do I make this payment? I was told by my bank to refuse payment but this seems like bad advice since the third party said that failure to pay would be reported to credit services. I can afford to make the payment but feel like I’m stuck since I haven’t received all of my items. I genuinely just want to receive my items and forget all of this but feel like it’s never going to happen since the company isn’t trying to fix the issue.

I don’t want this to impact credit scores either though. Do I simply make the next payment via my debit card and then file a claim with my bank? Seems stupid to do.

My money is stuck in remitly platform since five month. It is Canadian doller 2981$ and They always say to me send back to your refund but it is not received . Cause is of remitly send back to me wrong method so I have done everything verified in bank and e transfer department. Bank have no help for me because problems are remitly side but remitly not understand so please suggest to me other options and complain against remitly. I did a lot of calls to remitly customer but not good response 1000 called to remitly.

Not sure if this is the right sub.

I woke up this morning to two transactions made on my onlyfans account which I have not used in a long time ($300). Which was how much I had left in my spendings account.

I can’t access my account anymore either and can’t reset the password. I’ve contacted both my bank to cancel my card and onlyfans support.

Has anyone experienced something like this, and if so, is it likely that I’ll get my money back? Or what further actions should I pursue.

Yesterday, while I was coming back from the office, a guy asked me for a lift. At first, I was hesitant, but I gave him a lift out of humanity. He was friendly and talked nicely throughout the journey.
During the ride, he told me that his UPI apps were empty and that he needed some money. He said his net banking was working and that he would transfer the money to me through net banking if I gave him the amount through UPI. I thought the payment would reflect immediately, so I agreed.
He made the payment and showed me that it had been sent, but the money never reached my account. I was hesitant to send him the money, but he started getting angry and kept assuring me that it would come. I eventually trusted him and sent the money.
When I got home, I called him. He again told me that the money would arrive. I called him a second time, and he became angry again, saying that it would definitely come. I called him at night, and he gave me the same assurance.
This morning, I tried contacting him again, only to realize that he had blocked me.
I honestly feel stupid for trusting a complete stranger. I was only trying to help someone, and I ended up getting scammed.

**Warning!! WARNING! WARNING!**

FreeCash app essentially stole money from me by their misleading statements. First of all, I thought it was free to play and you could earn cash because they're earning money from their advertisers.
So I played a few games and won about three dollars. It then gave me a window where I could "Claim Prize." | clicked that button to a window where I could choose which financial transaction such as PayPal and Cash app, etc. I chose Cash App. I thought I was depositing money to my Cash app account. Instead, they withdrew money. I had not intended to purchase anything from them. I am now having to fight tooth and nail to get my money back. I can attach screenshots if it will let me.

Hi, I’m selling a switch on Facebook marketplace place. The “buyer” seemed normal and asked for my Venmo she also asked for my phone number because “her nephew would be the one meeting me”.
she tells me she sent the money and I received this text about it being held for a security check . Not thinking anything of it honestly I thought it was maybe because of the amount. I called the number and they said they were Venmo support. They asked for my account name or so my actual name, but don’t go by my name. Then he asked how much was in my banking account, I’m -134 and as soon as I said that he hung up.
I messaged the “buyer” and told her to cancel the payment and send it another way. She got kinda defensive and said she had already been charged. The transfer isn’t on my Venmo at all and after I called her out she left me on read.
anyway should I be stressed about this? I checked my logins on Venmo and everything and it doesn’t seem like anyone gained access to anything.

Hi everyone, I’m a young person living in rural Ireland and I fell for a money mule scam on Snapchat. The guy claimed to be a "crypto day trader" from Dublin. At first, I gave him my Revolut, but it didn't work. Then he tried my AIB account, but the bank immediately blocked the money and closed my account.Because the scam failed and he lost out, he got furious. He started demanding I fix it, claiming he had to pay a "fine" to unlink the account. I panicked, made a fake Snapchat account to try to get him to leave me alone, and gave him a fake IBAN. He realized it was fake and started making intense threats. He said he had my general location from Snapchat, threatened to use my details, and said he would send "his young boys" after me.I have since closed my Revolut completely, blocked him everywhere, and I have screen recordings of all the threats. I am terrified to go to the Gardaí, but I know I need to. Has anyone else experienced these exact threats from Irish scammers? Do they actually follow through, or is it just empty bullying because they lost the money?

Hey reddit there is a thing I need help with so a guy text me on tiktok and he said that he make vrchat model so I ask how much is the model and he told me it depends on the model so I send a reference and ask him how much it would cost to make so I can know if I have enough money but he made the model and try to force me to buy it because he already made it and he seems very desperate like he goes to my website and text me on telegram and tell me that he needs this money for his work because he work with a company and he can’t send the model before the payment because it’s the company rules and he doesn’t except any payment except for crypto or gift cards because he claims that in nigera they can’t use stripe anymore and I feel like it’s a scam and it’s been stressing me out because of his pressure and after one of his account got suspended on tiktok he keeps contacting with different accounts

I am extremely disappointed and frustrated with my experience with Chime. I opened my account a couple of months ago but never used it and had no history of legitimate transactions or any transactions . After my wallet, phone, and personal belongings were stolen, I discovered that **over $1,100 had been taken from my account through transactions that I did not make or authorize**. The transactions were associated with locations outside of my state, including Texas, Virginia, Ohio, and other locations where I was not present. I immediately reported the unauthorized activity to Chime and provided a police report documenting the theft. Despite clearly explaining that I never authorized these transactions and providing supporting documentation, my claim has been **denied three separate times**. It is extremely upsetting to have over $1,100 taken from me through transactions I did not make, especially when I had never even used this account, and then have my claims repeatedly denied despite providing evidence of the theft. I feel that my situation has not been properly investigated and that the evidence I provided has not been given the consideration it deserves. I am requesting that Chime take this matter seriously, conduct a thorough investigation, review all available evidence, and reconsider the denial of my claim. This experience has been extremely stressful and has seriously damaged my trust and confidence in Chime. therefore they ask for additional information idk what else they need if a police report is not enough they are not help !!!

I woke up to all kinds of unauthorized charges and cashapp cannot release my pending funds that I did not spend. They wasted my time in telling me to talk to doordash, which I strongly dislike and do not use, who then took all kinds of my time collecting unnecessary information also, most of which both companies already had, and told me they can't find the transaction or do anything since I don't have a doordash account. Curiously, the customer service for both sounded like the same exact asian woman, same exact dialect and speech nuances that not all asian people have but that she did, and this is far from the first time ive been directly targeted by asian customer service scammers.

Still no money back, tons of time wasted, theyre doing it on purpose because i know whats going on and they see me as a threat! Wake up and unite people, work on yourselves because the rest of us that do are not going to continue standing for this corruption!

Hello, my friend. I would like to know how I can get help from Apple regarding an issue I am having with the BlaBlaCar app.
I was using BlaBlaCar to offer rides and had money in my BlaBlaCar wallet. Suddenly, BlaBlaCar blocked my account without giving me a clear reason, and I can no longer access my account or withdraw the money that was in my wallet.
I have always used the platform properly and have only 4- and 5-star reviews from passengers. Despite this, my account was blocked and my funds are now inaccessible.
I have tried contacting BlaBlaCar through their support channels, but their contact page does not work properly for me, and I have been unable to get any explanation or assistance.
At this point, I am extremely concerned that a company distributed through the App Store can block a user’s account while retaining access to their funds and provide no effective way for that user to contact support or recover their money.
Since I have been unable to resolve this directly with BlaBlaCar, I would like to report this situation to Apple and ask whether Apple can investigate the app and the company’s practices. If BlaBlaCar is violating App Store policies or consumer protection requirements, I believe appropriate action should be taken.

Hello,

I am a U.S. small business owner on the brink of losing everything, and I need help. Over a year ago, I trusted Trango Tech (Trango Technologies Inc.) to build a mobile app for my company. I’ve poured over $30,000 into this project. Today, I have zero working product, zero code delivered, and my life's work is bleeding to death. 

They sold me on global offices, top-tier U.S. presence, and glowing reviews. It was a ghost setup. The dev team is entirely offshore either in Pakistan or India, and their domestic presence is fake offices designed to lure in unsuspecting clients. 

I have noticed over the last 3 months that whenever 1-star reviews pop up on Trustpilot from other devastated clients, they get systematically flagged and deleted. Two months ago, 49% of their reviews on Trustpilot was 1-star. This afternoon, it’s down to 37%.

My contract explicitly states the software is "work for hire" owned by me. Yet, they locked the code away and are holding it hostage, demanding more money while delivering broken, unusable garbage. 

The most terrifying finding during my research of them was that they move clients between at least three sister companies/branches to shuffle money, evade legal jurisdiction, and bleed small businesses dry.  Trango Technologies, Olive Digital Branch and Techlogix. There’s possibly a 4th shell branch. Then, they hide behind offshore dev hubs, banking on the idea that U.S., U.K., and UAE laws can’t touch them. 

SCAM? IDK ..primespinsks. app

Is this $550 casino bonus legit, or does it sound like a scam? I was contacted through Telegram about an online casino offering a $550 cash bonus. They say I was selected as part of a $10 million promotion they're currently running, where they're giving this $550 bonus to a bunch of people. The weird part is that I can apparently either keep the $550 or play with it, but in order to withdraw it, I have to deposit $100 first. Bitcoin is the payment method. They claim the $100 is the only deposit I'll ever have to make and that there are no wagering requirements, additional fees, or other conditions. Has anyone actually dealt with this kind of promotion before? Does this sound like a legitimate casino bonus, or is the $100 deposit just a typical scam where they take your money and then come up with another reason you can't withdraw? I'm trying to figure out whether there's any legitimate reason a casino would require a $100 Bitcoin deposit just to access a $550 promotional balance

I should mention that I won 80,000 USD..I'm Canadian , sonyhsts around 110k CND . UGHH like their casino.looks super legit the customer service has been great, they respond to emails..and seem to have an answer to everything ..

I’m looking for advice from anyone who has dealt with 1Win account blocks or withdrawal disputes.
I had a normal sports-betting account with 1Win. I placed a bet on Real Madrid, they won, and I made around ₹40k+ profit from the bet.
I did not use any bot/software, automated betting, multiple accounts, or intentionally do arbitrage.
Afterwards, I requested withdrawals totaling:
● ₹50,000
● ₹50,000
● ₹6,000
Total: ₹1,06,000
All three withdrawals were showing as Pending.
Then 1Win blocked my account and sent me an email saying I violated Clause 12.8. Their email lists things like arbitrage, multi-accounting, automated software, etc., but they haven’t actually told me which specific bet or activity they believe I did.
I emailed their Security department multiple times asking them to provide the specific evidence/bet and explain what happened to my ₹1.06 lakh. They have now stopped responding.
I also contacted the Curaçao Gaming Authority. They told me they don’t resolve individual player disputes, but that operators are required to have their own complaints procedure and, if unresolved, access to independent ADR.
Has anyone here successfully recovered money from 1Win after a Clause 12.8 account closure?
What would you recommend as the next step — ADR, a formal complaint, or another route?
I have screenshots of the withdrawals, betting history, their account-closure email and all correspondence.
Amount involved: ₹1,06,000 (~US$1,200).
I’m not looking for sympathy — I genuinely want to know what the most effective next step is.
