My social security and SSI are direct deposited into Comerica bank Direct Express card- I was fraudulently charged over $400 - after waiting over 12 hours 2 days in a row I finally was able to report it. The gave me a provisional credit while they "investigated", I used it to cover my losses, then they reversed the credit and took it back they next month! That's half my monthly income - they are so inundated with fraudulent charges claims, they literally do not investigate! I found the scam myself just by googling the website that charged me! DO NOT TRUST THIS BANK!

I was defrauded for over $400 from my social security/ SSI check, Direct Express - through Comerica bank gave me a provisional credit while they "investigated", I used it to cover my losses, then they reversed the credit the next month and took it out again! It was over half my income! I found the scam simply by googling the website that charged me! I waited over 12 hours to speak to someone in the fraud department 2 days in a row. They are so inundated with fraudulent claims they could not be bothered to even Google the website that took half my social security disability check!

Tip for consumers:
Find a bank you can trust!!

Beware of Nature's One or Nature's Only CBD gummies website! The stole over $400 out of my social security check! I cannot reach anyone by phone or email, and if you lokk up Nature's One it takes you to a baby formula site that says if you're looking for Nature's One CBD gummies to contact USA. Gov as they are overcharging ppl!
They use Kelly Clarkson's image and name!

Tip for consumers:
SCAM!! Beware of CBD gummies using Kelly Clarkson to sell their products - they will FRAUDULENTLY charge your account as many times as they can!!

The crystals I bought from Kidz Rocks are really incredible - the size alone is fantastic and the quality amazing! I found them on Etsy but discovered they have their own site- if you like crystals and stones you'll love this shop!

Products used:
I got slices of purple agate for my aquarium and palm sized geodes. Really cool looking

  • Tejas Beads

The selection and quality of Tejas beads and jewelry making supplies is incredible! There's new items on clearance all the time and free shipping and promo codes for orders over $50
So far I've only bought gemstone beads but I'll be getting my hemp, wire and other supplies here now too

Tip for consumers:
The selection alone is incredible! Their site has helpful videos explaining their products and literally showing you how to use them . A one of a kind shop !

I've been getting live haworthia plants and seeds from Maughanii.com for several years now and even 2 year old seeds germinate no problem. Half of my orders got lost in the mail and Renny replaced about $100 worth of seeds. Really excellent service, support and product!

Tip for consumers:
Truly beautiful and unique haworthia and gasteria plants- if you know them you know how cool they look! Renny hybridizes her own plants and they are the best I've seen . The seeds are at a price that allows anyone to grow and enjoy these unique plants

  • Walmart

This site will take money out of any payment method in your account, even for EBT orders. Also if your order is for delivery it's a coin flip whether you'll get it or not. Once it took me 5 days of ordering then cancelling a grocery order - the site would say ' on the way' then it would never really show up. This was the day after a death in the family when we didn't have time to shop but needed to feed our family. I was with Walmart+ for almost 7 years, the app and delivery system are terrible now, as is customer service. I've had agents leave our chat, yell at me over the phone and even hang up on me. All this multiple times. Door dash is the delivery system so there's fault there too

Tip for consumers:
I was told to remove any other payment method when using EBT after my debit card was charged multiple times for EBT orders. I never got that cash back and the customer service is very bad

Products used:
Groceries and household items. It's not the goods as much as the service and payment issues

This shop replied immediately to my message that I wanted to cancel the order I just placed to switch to a different payment method and order more ( Pokemon plushies) then they ignored me for over 12 hours, then sent me a message saying order not cancelled - order is shipped.
Which sounded snotty to me... They then proceeded to contact the courier personally and have their items returned, completely bypassing the ' cancelled order ' option - thereby keeping my money! In the system - and even through 3 chat agents- the order says shipped. I still don't have my refund started., it's been a week. I have screenshots of our conversations, they still are giving me the run- around. Over $20! Do NOT shop at My Toy House store. I've never had a problem like this before in 6 years of shopping with AliExpress.

Tip for consumers:
Usually the sellers are great. Keep in mind you get what you pay for when you're buying something for $2.. read the dimensions!!

Products used:
I get grow lights and accessories, women's rings, crystals, Pokemon plushies for my grandson, sunglasses , scarves, purses, cell phone cases and straps...
