A Facebook ad about a cheap suit takes you to their website. After paying they ghost you.

Dear Better Business Bureau, I am filing a complaint regarding a fraudulent experience with flightgorilla.com a flight booking website. On May 27, 2025, I booked a flight through this website. Shortly after, I received a call from their representative stating that the price of my selected flight had increased to $361. I agreed to the revised cost and proceeded with the purchase. A few days later—just one day before my scheduled flight—I was informed that my booking could not be completed. I was advised to purchase a new ticket directly from Southwest Airlines at $525.45, with a promise that my original payment of $361 would be refunded within 7 to 10 business days. Despite waiting for 16 days, no refund has been issued. When I attempt to contact the company, my calls are consistently redirected to voicemail. However, when they initially needed payment, communication was immediate and seamless. Now that I am seeking my refund, they are entirely unresponsive. This company appears to be engaging in deceptive practices, taking payments from consumers without fulfilling services, and failing to honor refund commitments. I request that the BBB investigate this issue and take appropriate action to prevent others from being affected by similar fraudulent practices. Please confirm receipt of my complaint and advise on the next steps for resolution.

There was an ad on Facebook for Torrid. Buy 10 items for $40. After making the purchase, i received an order confirmation from a website that was not Torrid. I immediately had a bad feeling and emailed their customer service to please cancel my order but somehow it was magically "already shipped". I called my bank and tried to stop payment on the payment but they weren't able to because the charge was pending. I also realized that when i emailed it was not Torrids URL. I received a tracking number and the website was fake. When i inquired about it again, I was told that the package was delivered and i didn't receive anything. I emailed the company and i have been going back and forth asking for a refund. I was told the package was lost. Then i was told i would receive a partial refund on May 10th. I have yet to see anything in my account.

Started the onboarding process like a normal process. Then the person stated that I would train for Renee Grover June 9, 8:46 AM [email protected] You will provide light executive assistance to our CFO and help facilitate secure internal transactions involving company funds routed through Dollywood’s designated Bitcoin wallet. These transfers are part of a larger operational cycle and are fully traceable, documented, and monitored for compliance. Spent four days with person establishing accounts to purchase Bitcoin. All the money used was returned. All accounts for this process have been closed and all passwords have been changed. Contacted Susan Gregg at Dollywood and she stated her company does not offer any remote jobs and this is a scam.

On Facebook I found an add for homemade jewelry, the pictures were beautiful. I placed an order and received it on June 9, 2025. I immediately opened it and was shocked to see very cheap jewelry that you’d expect to get from Asia or China. I contacted the person in the website, Sheryl Duncan, and she writes me back and tells me if I’ll keep the jewelry they will give me back 20% of my money, I said no I wanted a full refund. She then sends me a text telling me that if I send it back it will be costly because I have to mail it back to Asia. She refuses to pay postage and I say she has to because it’s false advertising. My credit card charge was placed in London, her address is in Jamaica, NY and she says I have to return it to Asia and it could take months for a refund.
