The initial Internet contact is a request for a dog walker for a man, Raymond Mcphail, who claims to be an HIV/Aids researcher/ critical care specialist who just got the house in El Paso and is about to manage the health of a private company CEO and his wife can't attend to the needs of their English bulldog because she works from home. The initial contact name is Sarah Keen. Plenty of background info is provided and the dog is to be attended to 3-4 times a week for $800. Raymond responds stating the position is full but he would like to offer the position of a personal assistant that can work remotely, planning his daily activities and making donations to an orphanage home every last weekend of the month. A link was later provided to fill out a job application, asking for personal info. I checked the name of the organization on Google and a website does exist, including the pictures/names of 2 men in charge. I checked the website and noticed the business address does not exist. I verified this on Google maps.

I placed an online order with Baseusclothing on 04/05/25. After more than a week, I found it strange that there was no email sent to me from the seller stating the order had either been processed or shipped. So, I initially reached out via email on April 15, 2025 and requested a status update. When the seller didn't/ wouldn't provide shipping information as requested, a couple of days later on April 17, 2025 I requested a full refund of $219.14 and they stopped communicating with me. The seller accepted the full funds but did not send ANY products (at that time). The items were never processed, shipped or delivered/received. I then disputed the transaction with the PayPal resolution center and requested assistance getting my total funds of $219.14 returned to my original form of payment. Although I tried to resolve with the seller through email first and as well as through PayPal, the seller ceased communication AGAIN without refunding my money. So, after over a month of trying to cancel the order/resolve with seller, I escalated the issue to PayPal's resolution center (May 7th). I included the emails with my request to cancel and submitted for review. Once escalated, the seller THEN sent one item out (attempting to have a tracking number for the claim). One more item was sent out during the PayPal review/investigation period (again without any status update or any kind of communication from the seller). I kept and prepared both unopened items to return but feared I would then have none of my money refunded and no items either, since the seller was unresponsive and unwilling to resolve. May 19th, PayPal concluded their review and favored on the side of the seller although the seller never sent more than 2 of the ordered items (one of which was not as pictured) of my full order nor refunded any of the missing products. I had to purchase clothing elsewhere because none of this Baseusclothing order came in time. So, having attempted to cancel the order over a month ago (April 17, via email with the seller) long before any items were shipped out because it had taken too long to get a status update or products, the seller could have resolved the matter well before escalation.

I believe this entire website is a scam. When you Google the address on their website, it goes to some random neighborhood in Texas. If you go on their Instagram, they provide a different address, and it's on some random highway in Texas that doesn't list their business. I don't think this business actually exists. I initially found the page because I wanted to buy a used 2013 Lexus GS450H engine from them, and because I've never heard of them before, I asked for them to do a video call of the engine so my mechanic and I could inspect it. They kept making up some nonsensical excuse about why they couldn't do it even though they claimed to have it in their "warehouse" Eventually was able to get on the phone with them and it was from a different phone number listed on their website. I had to request a call two separate times and they called back different numbers each time, and when I asked the guy why his number changed, he didn't even know which area code it was, suggesting they use multiple numbers, which is sketchy. The guy also sounded Indian so that was another red flag. They were unwilling to prove they have the actual product outside of sending images (which anyone can do), and yet demanding I pay first. Textbook sales scam.

I was not aware that my chimney needed repair. They spotted it and stopped at my house and offered their services. They were hired to do the job. I was told it was a two day job and was given a contract for work that was to be done. Contract was for $2250 which I paid them in full. They did partial repairs. I expected them to return the second day to complete the work. They never showed up. I called them on the third day and was told the balance of the work was not needed .The liner in the chimney was to be changed. Since this was a large part of the job, I expected them to return to complete the job or refund the cost of the labor and material. Chris said they would be back in two weeks to complete the job. They never showed back up. The work that was done was worth approximately $700-$750 I would like the balance of the money returned.

The product was supposed to arrive on May 15th but was told by AZX I needed to purchase insurance for the product that was refundable for $300 which I reluctantly did.

I refused and spoke with flash liquidation and they contacted AZX and was told by AZX it was worked out and my shipment was out for delivery. On may 24thI was told I would have my pallet by 530pm that evening. I Have reached out to AZX multiple times not heard anything.

On May 12, 2025 (according to my online bank account) I was playing a game on my phone. The game contains ads between moves. An ad popped up for "L.L. Bean Outlet" advertising items for as little as $6 USD. The website seems legitimate so I ordered a few items including a pair or women's summer shorts and a men's cardigan sweater (i can't remember the 3rd item). I did receive an email saying that I'd be informed when the items shipped. Unfortunately I might have deleted that email. I didn't think anything of until I looked at the bank account entry and saw SILKQS* SILKQS 5948 SINGAPORE SG. Also I have not received an email saying the items were being shipped. This COULD be legitimate because we know cargo coming from southeast Asia is being delayed due to the tariff situation. But it's probably a scam.
