A bbb report about a impersonation scam that cost someone $27.0. Learn how to avoid falling victim.

Source: bbb | Scam Type: Impersonation | Amount Lost: $27.0 | Date: April 02, 2026
I purchased an umbrella for an outdoor chair for $14.99. The next day, actually last night, 4/01/26, there were five or six charges that totaled up to over $2,700 taken out of my bank account. I have not received what I ordered. I did contact my bank already, and they're investigating it. But we need to get him off Google and get my Facebook off the web. They shouldn't be on the web.
