FreeReadingsByKatie
Beware of the website 'readingsbykatie.com' or 'free psychic readings by katie' as at least one individual associated with this also called herself 'Sky Stevens' and was involved in psychic scamming. I haven't been able to determine if the new website (which gives an actual address) is licensed. Having been scammed by this Sky/Katie individual, I can attest to how she works her con: the slow 'I can help you' hook, followed by 'your problems are more complex.'

JM Ridgway Company
Scammers continue to exploit job seekers, but the "Shopper Needed" scam isn't just enlisting innocent folks into illegal money laundering activities. The scam is also exploiting the good name of JM Ridgway, a legitimate professional shopper service. Bear that in mind when reading the copy below - though the scammers use the name Ridgway, it is not affiliated in any way with the real JM Ridgway company.
The shopper-needed scam sends the 'new hire' a check for a few hundred dollars, instructing them to cash the check and... read full review »

My address is 1201 pennsylvania avenue, apt 19a, brooklyn, ny 11239. I would really appreciate either payment or the return of my cellular phones, read full review »
Theous Corporation
I was wanting a Logo designed for my new start up. So I searched on Google and came across the top 10 logo designers at themostpopularbrands.com/
This is where I was taken: theous.com/logo designers/index.php
The site sounded and looked ok. I needed a logo quick and this company looked like they could help me at a reasonable rate. The site quality wasn’t as good as many of the other companies I looked at, but I went against my better judgment because of their promotion. I couldn’t believe I was getting $545.00 package for... read full review »

TDS Metrocom LLC
I was a residential customer of TDS Metrocom LLC (TDS) for some years now. Today, I filed a Federal Trade Commission (FTC) compliant against TDS February 21, 2011 based on the below.

AIRTEL FIXED AND BROADBAND
During the month of Jan, we have instructed to deactivate the broadband line since our computer was out of order for the past 2 months. But to our surprise the current billing for Jan/Feb for 2011 had come to the same level of rs.1250 as of the previous month Dec/Jan of previous month. so we request you to consider the excess meter reading of our non-usage of broadband services. hope you will consider and do the needful at your earliest. For information your department conformed our new plan of 250.

Court Bars
On December 23, The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) requested that a federal district court instruct an Internet domain name reseller from making misrepresentations in the marketing of its domain name registration services. Domain Registry of America (DROA) told consumers that their domain registrations were expiring, leading many consumers to switch their domain name registrar.
DROA mailed millions of such renewal notices captioned 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' to urge consumers to act quickly to avoid 'Register Lock' or... read full review »
US Postal
A collaboration between US Postal Inspector and police from other countries resulted in the arrest of 77 scammers involved in fake check scams.
"While 60 people were arrested in the Netherlands, 16 in Nigeria and one in Canada, victims of these scams include South Carolinians."
Note that fake money orders are also included. As we have always said, always cash the check and money order and ensure that the money is IN. Until then, it is just a piece of useless paper. read full review »
Twisted Bet
I have been street scammed twice with the first happening a few years ago when I was 17 and working for an upscale doughnut shop selling pretzels. On my morning shift, when the place is not so busy, an guy about fifty in a tacky suit came in, bought a pretzel and a soda, and spoke to some of us employees in a friendly manner, I think in an attempt to garner trust.
Then, about an hour later while I was out giving away samples to people walking the street he came over and questioned me about who I was and what I did. He complemented me on my... read full review »
Tow-Truck
This breakdown scam has been attempted on my husband and I a total of four times in our small city. The first time was to me and I knew it was a scam, but I am a small woman and was alone so I gave the guy $10 just so he would go away and hopefully leave me alone.
Several months later one got my trusting husband then a couple of months later, the same guy tried to get him again, but of course, my husband was wiser.
Just a few days ago, someone tried it on me again. He barely got started when I told him "No, others have tried thi... read full review »
Coin Con
You are approached on the street by a scammer who is quite adept at faking retardation. He comes up to you with a packet of old coins labeled Reward! Please return to Dr. Williams, Numismatist 453-5674
Seeing as the street-person does not have the facilities to call, yet insists on trying to hand you the bag, you call the number. A person answers ( a shill ) who, surprised and thankful when you call and fully explain why you are calling, offers a $700 reward along with directions to return the coins.
He simply asks that you be good enough... read full review »
Door-to-door
Vulnerable seniors, who spend the majority of their time at home, are perfect targets for the mobile scam artist. Smooth-talking fraudsters can convincingly get themselves invited inside to deliver any imaginable sales pitch for products or services. Common among these are the home repair, door-to-door scams.
Home repair scam operators appear unannounced at the home and then proceed to "discover" one or a series of "defects" with the house, from shoddy roofing, to cracked driveways, to dangerous electrical wiring or plumbing... read full review »
A Wireless Center
Be wary of people calling your cellphone claiming to be from your service provider and offering to upgrade your phone packages. They may actually be independent dealers trying to make a quick buck.
J.P. got one of these calls, and growing suspicious, she asked the lady to verify how many text messages she had sent in the past month. The caller was unable. J.P. hung up and called the number back on her caller ID, a woman at a wireless store at the local mall picked up.
I received a call from someone claiming to be... read full review »
Darien Small
My friends and I were scammed by a seasoned con artist who “works” in the field of photography. His name is Darien Small, but now that he’s wanted in several states, he has changed his name various times, usually to derisions of his actual name. He’s been known to go by “Dare Small”, “Darien C. Small”, “Craig Small” and a host of others.
First let me tell you how the scam works, so you can avoid him at all cost. He creates a new website and names it something like “Sport... read full review »
Domain Renewal
One of the businesses I do work for was fooled into sending money to Domain Registry of America. That's really not surprising considering the way they work. See this story from The Register earlier this year.
They send out official looking notices that unsuspecting busy people will often pay. Fortunately our current register, GoDaddy, does not allow the transfer to take place unless the contact of record confirms it. DROA charges $40.00 for what GD wants $18.00. Not a lot of money but why should you give these kind of crook... read full review »
Kenmark Air
In January of 2009 I had my mother's condo HVAC system checked and annual routine maintenance performed by a reputable contractor with whom we had a service contract. Everything checked out fine and the system was functioning normally - no problems noted.
In March of 2009, a Kenmark Air Representative called on my mother to solicit a five year service agreement under the guise of a "UV Promo/Service Contract Special". Unfortunately, my 89 year old mother who is increasingly challenged with declining health issues had no... read full review »
Craiglists
As always, be careful when you received a check that is more than what you asked for.
A couple of times, Roy and Ellie Goodbread suspected they were being scammed. Why, they wondered, would the woman buying their Jeep off Craigslist send them $1, 100 more than the settled price? And why did she trust them to wire the difference to the South Carolina shipper picking up the vehicle?
They put their fears aside when a cashier's check arrived last month from Citibank with what appeared to be legitimate watermarks and a perforated tear... read full review »
Mediadimension.biz
They send fake checks, and they ask you to send the money to newspapers that don't exist. Then you get nailed for passing bad checks and they keep the money when it arrives.
It's a convincing scam because:
They don't ask for much info, just mailing address and email.
They don't promise incredible money or get get rich quick ideas, just 400 to 800 a week.
They have their own website and will answer your emails. read full review »
Operaen Buy Domains
In the recent months, there have been several reports of domain name scam from someone called "Jon Hegglund". In summary, they will ask you for the domain price and thereafter ask the domain name to be appraised by a domain name appraisal service of their choice...
Ofcourse, the domain name appraisal team belongs to the same person, and you will be paying him to appraise the name he is going to buy. And ofcourse, he won't buy your expensive domain name because he just want you to pay him money and not the other way... read full review »

EngineSeeker
I purchased an ad pack in October with engineseeker from an account manager that had been there for several years I had a very good business relationship with him and he helped me with several smaller marketing packages. He said if I spent 1200 bucks and used their service, which meant shutting down my account with my other marketing campaign provider that he would do whatever it takes to keep me happy if my web activity dropped, i.e. give me free fast traffic etc. Well less than 6 months later I am seeing a decline in my website activity I... read full review »

Whiz International
Whiz-International LLC is posting false requirements and taking the resumes. Once they take the resumes they are using the phone numbers to do other business like amway etc. they keep calling to join this business. I am afraid that these people may utilize the resumes for some other purpose. They do have some other companies called neilglobalstaffing. They keep calling from numbers like 214-680-2393. 551-200-5894. They say that they have more than 40 requirements with one of the financial client in New York. All these these are fake things. to... read full review »

New internet companies have sprung up over the years, but not always a good sign. Many of them are scams waiting to rip you off by not delivering what you paid for.
In the past, the scammers tried their luck on eBay, and other online trading sites. Some were caught and tried in the court.
If you see a new online company selling goods at prices that is too good to be true, it probably is. Be wary of such shady sites and do not believe in any testimonials or google search etc. These guys are smart, as they know most online shopper... read full review »

ShortRefiNow.com
ShortRefiNow.com, of Roseville, California, has been labeled by The Better Business Bureau as a scam. Having received numerous complaints of shoddy service, non performance, and no refunds, the BBB issued the scam warning on March 31st. The California Department of Real Estate issued a Desist and Refrain order in February because the company lacked proper licensing to perform loan modifications. The order came along too late for Kris Pinckney who gave ShortRefiNow.com $3, 000 for her loan modification but kept getting non answers and the... read full review »
Motor Time
I ordered a motor off of E-Bay from Motor Time - We Have Engines located in California on 3/23/10. They said a week for shipping and it took two weeks to receive. When I received the motor it was the incorrect one. I called them and they said it was the right one and that I had given them the wrong information. I proved that the information given was correct by the initial email that was sent and by taking photos of the motor that we need. For the next two to three weeks they said almost on a daily basis that the correct motor would be sent on... read full review »
RepCleaners
THESE GUYS ARE FRAUDS, CHEATS STAY AWAY FROM THEM!!!
My company had been losing sales due to bad reputation, due to one of my employees misbehaving with a few key customers. RepCleaners approached me and offered me their mouthwatering prices and dreamy offers for their help on removing threats to my business.
I was in need of help and I was sold!
Turns out the company itself is no less than a scam for me, they charged me upfron for the first three months, next thing you know they themselves have complaints on the internet filed against them and all they have made is made me lose more business. read full review »
Frasers
I bought a very expensive PARTRIDGE leather handbag from Frasers on 26 Feb 2010. As part of their sales technique they 'sell' the product by saying that it has a warranty etc. On 08 May 2010 one of the straps of the handbag broke.- I tried to take it back and they told me that they need to discuss it with the merchandise director . On 10th of May they just sent me a sms to say that the guarantee is not a replacement, so the bag must be sent in to be repaired. What kind of service is that. They are not willing to replace a very... read full review »
Fix and Fit Security
We have had to call Fix and Fit out five times now in the past five months. The motorised gate does not open after it has rained. And the previous four times Fix and Fit came out to 'repair' the problem and every time they advise that there is another fault, yet the same problem still persits. And every time we have to pay for whatever they replace and often a call-out fee. We have mentioned this problem to them and voiced our dissatisfaction with their service when we had call out number four. Yet, it fell on deaf ears. read full review »

The site is run by complete amateurs written in an out-of-date programming language. The splash screen says copyright 2010 but inside it says copyright 2006.

For example they have rules where you can block age range or smokers, add that user as a favourite and you can contact them.
