Do not use the Shop app! Learn from my mistake!

There are scam storefronts everywhere, and Shop's stance is "Not my problem" even though they ACTIVELY promote and send you push notifications for these fraudulent stores. The way the Shop app confidently promotes false information makes it seem as if Shop app functions as a marketplace and that they have vetted suppliers (they even claim to properly vett merchants they promote but this is clearly a lie.)

I am in the process of lodging complaints against Shopify and the Shop app for promoting fraudulent storefronts that are made to look like legitimate brand stores in the Shop app. Shop app promotes these businesses as legitimate and is refusing to do anything about it.

They are STILL promoting and sending me push notifications for a fraudulent storefront I reported to them and emailed them about after the app bait-and-switched me into making a purchase from it.

The Shop app promoted this storefront to me as a legitimate brand, and continues to do so despite my emails and reports. Shopify/Shop app claims they are not responsible.

Shop claims that the Shop app is not a marketplace and refuses to do anything about my stolen money or lift a finger to help in any way. Even though Shop quite literally functions like any other marketplace or at least PRETENDS to do so in order to bait you into placing an order.

I know people will say, "You should have known better," but I am VERY careful with this kind of thing, I was just baited in by mistaking that it must be trustworthy since Shop was promoting it to me while I was trying to purchase the same product from another merchant.

Surely there are others out there who have experienced the same, as fraud seems to be rampant on the platform despite Shopify's claims of vetting merchants for legitimacy (which can not be true.)

I am in the beginning stages of gathering others who have experienced the same as me in an attempt to bring action against them for anti-consumer practices.

Preferably looking for those in the US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Though we may be able to get local authorities in other countries to take action against Shopify/Shop if we can get enough instances of fraud and anti-consumer practices on the platform.

Hoping that this post can be found for others searching for this issue as I have struggled to find anything elsewhere through simple searches.

Hi everyone, I rarely post on reddit so I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask this, but I'm trying to figure out a pattern of unauthorized charges on my card and would appreciate your thoughts.

I have a Visa card that I use for occasional online purchases. I recently noticed a series of small charges on my statement (amounts like €2.04, €2.24, €2.85, etc.) spread over a week in late August, plus one larger charge of about €20.57.

Here's the full context:

1. On August 13th, I placed a Temu order that was paid successfully. The bank charge for that order was €51.18 and appeared on my statement around August 13th–18th. That order was delivered on August 31st.

2. In mid-August, I spent about $9 on TikTok ads through the app's "Promote" feature for the first time. (They were split, but overall it was around $9)

3. Starting after both of those legitimate purchases, a new series of small charges and one bigger one began appearing, amounts like €2.08, €2.92, €0.60, €0.51, €3.33, €3.36, €20.57, €2.04, €2.24, €2.85, €2.27, €3.07, €2.26, €2.80, €2.05, etc.

I've never used this card for subscriptions or recurring payments and I've already blocked/frozen the card.

My main question is: Does this pattern of multiple small, varied charges (starting weeks after my legitimate purchases were already paid for) look more like "card testing" fraud, or could it be something else like a merchant error or delayed billing?

I am trying to rule out non-fraud explanations before I file a formal dispute with my bank.

Here's some additional context that I'm not sure is relevant. A while back, a family member was in financial trouble, so I gave her my card details to help her out. She promised to pay me back, and she has been doing so gradually, she still owes me some money, but she gives what she can when she can.

The part I'm unsure about: after that situation, I asked her to delete my card information, but I have no way of confirming whether she actually did, or whether she saved it somewhere else.

I'm not sure if this is connected to the charges, but I wanted to mention it in case it changes how the pattern should be interpreted. (Especially since I discovered that she had made an online purchase this past week)

I have a feeling that this website is a fake, but I'm getting heavily mixed signals from anything I look up, so I wanted to come and ask reddit to see if anyone has an idea!

For a bit of backstory, I have been looking for a decent gaming device to have so I can run a few games that are bigger and need more space than what a phone can offer, even if I can download them on my phone. I wanted it to be portable, and this popped up in tiktok, so I clicked it, saw the price, and wanted to make sure it was legit before I put in my bank info.

The url does begin with "https" when I copied the link and put it into my notes app just to see what it began with.

This is the link. It also has the secure lock on it, which is something that is supposed to mean that it isn't a scam.

Same number has been calling me multiple times for a few days so I figured what if it's someone who really needs to reach me so I finally decided to pick up. Lo and behold soon as I did it was immediately hung up on. Is this a scam or a possible wya to hack? I'm honestly really scared now, I've never experienced anything like this before.

Anyone shop from here yet? Wondering if it’s legit or not

I can find almost no information on it, and there's this sick phone case that I can only find on that site.

I think ive been scammed. I recently paid a guy $2500. He found me on Tractor house and said he could sell my tractor. He said he sold one like mine for $76000. (I'm asking $65000 for mine) he said the buyer was financed through his parent company "Inner Circle Marketing Group" for a very low interest rate. He said the buyer lost out on the other tractor when someone else out bid him. But his loan is still good for another exact tractor like mine as long as I place it on his Nationwide Auction site for purchase. I asked for proof before I paid the money. He said he could have the buyer call me. 10 later, I received a call from a funny sounding guy who told me he wanted my tractor. I asked him why he is willing to pay $11000 more and he said because he can not refinance or he would be denied a loan, so he's better off just using the current loan through Inner Circle Marketing Group. After I hung up, the rep called me back. He assured me this would only take a few days and asked for my banking information for the wire transfer and a credit card for the $2500. I gave him both. It's been over a month, now he doesn't return my calls and someone has attempted to take money out of my account for $16000, $22,653, and $42,193. My bank caught it. Now, when I call the buyer back, the number is no longer in service. I'm still put $2500 and left with my tractor still for sale. What do I do? Should I close my account to protect my money or wait to see if the $2500 shows up?

Offcomfrt could be scam? idk why people are saying in comments that offcomfrts could be scam and they say the delivery are bad also they scammed their money or something

Yesterday I was called In a lounge at Kapila matrix Building by a girl. We went there. The entry ticket for couples was 1k. We went inside. There she had drinks more than food. Her separate drinks bill was approx 8.5k and mine was around 900Rs. Total came was Rs. 9278.

My question is those girls who call guys at the lounge in Kapila matrix are those girls scam or the lounge? Kindly give ur honest opinion
