         On July 24th and 25th 2021; I attended Melissa Armo d/b/a The Stock Swoosh “Golden Gap Course”. My debit card was charged $7499.00; The class was scheduled to start at 9am prompt an after 15 minutes, the online class started, for the next five hours Melissa the Moderator proceeded to explain how her system is supposed to work- she said they were 26 points to her system and claimed it has never failed in 13 years. In total Melissas’ class should take no more than 2-3 hours at tops. if that much- the rest of the time is filled with dead air, with her just winging it and talking to past time. 

After an hour and a half of listening to her talk and show slides of houses in the Hamptons and other places in NY showing us places for rent for $58,000 a month; she talked about Covid and other random topics and places she wanted to move too with a few slides in-between some charts, she tried to explain how this system works; at that point I realized this a total waste but I would give her the benefit of the doubt as it was still early in the day and I still had another full day tomorrow with her online. 

And for the next five hours , she proceed to talk about her course and why it has never failed, showing some charts , talking very fast and no handout to follow; At one point I typed in the chat, that I did not have a handout and requested one – and she never responded back to me so It was at that point again, that I realized that Melissa expected me to remember everything she was saying as , and it was yet another ah-ha moment for me that I saw through the scam- and the UCC Violation.

The next 24 hours was most of the same non-sense from the previous day, but she made certain representations that once you get into the trading room on Monday, you would have a spectacular day trading and that I would make my money back because her system was fail proof and the market was going down – and since her system was centered around shorting stocks, I had nothing to worry about. At one point she claimed that her system has over a 90% accuracy rate, – I shook my head and laughed. 

Melissa provides no PDF handouts, no emails, no course books, no text messages, no communication, no goods or any materials that I could go back and later study if I forgot and this violated the Uniform Commercial Code on interstate commerce. It was at that moment that I realized that I paid for “AIR” absolutely nothing of value was exchanged by Melissa to me; now on the other hand, I handed this total stranger who professes that she is a professional $7499.00 and received absolutely nothing in exchange.

On Monday 7/26/21 I logged into the trading room and saw that I was the only person in the room- Cathy Meyer of Hotcomm.com; Melissa’s IT person, said that I cannot see the other participants, or even see the questions in the chat from other participants. Another red flag that this trading room is in violation of the UCC -. How are we supposed to interact with other students if Melissa is blocking others from asking questions- it was at that point once again, that I saw Melissa’s scam, she must control the content of the room, she provides no tangible materials, no real goods or services are ever exchanged by her because she would be liable for misrepresentations she makes. And by not actually providing any materials, she is sheltered from lawsuits or criminal prosecution because no one has any evidence of the materials -because she doesn’t hand out anything that can and will be used against her in a court of Law.

  I have found several other similar complaints, and all have said that Melissa said she will never give refunds, this woman believes she is above the Law, and something must be done to reprimand her and make all the students for the past 13 years who have suffered losses by the hand of Melissa whole again. 

I called Melissa and asked for a refund because she provided no real value, no course materials, no goods or services and just took my money; she said she has a 100 percent success rate on not-refunding money and she would not refund me, I told her that her streak was about to come to an end. She then later claimed that I threatened to breach my contract.

Melissa will go right into defense mode and will say and use anything to avoid giving a refund, as this is how she gets people to back off. Most people will never come forward because Melissa is good at making them go away. I told her, I have read all the past complaints from the others and that I would contact the FBI and the NY/FL State attorney general to file a formal complaint that she is violating the Laws and she said is there anything else, I can do for you Stephen, and I said please stop doing what you’re doing Melissa.   

I believe from what I have found out in my investigation that Melissa maybe working with a bigger organization and the fake reviews she post combating all the claims from other sites, like “Rip-off Report “ and other as they are being monitored and, and she quickly squashes the negative reviews.

Melissa continues to send me spam soliciting to offer to buy another one of her courses to this day. No thanks! 

Han Nguyen of Autos Only, Inc. dispatched to me the move of an automobile from Yaphank, New York to Burien, Washington.  Mr. Nguyen stated the automobile was operative, and that the unit was available for transport.  Only once I had spent time and money – including driving my five axle car hauler across a toll bridge (which I did again after I departed the pickup location) – traveling to the pickup location did I learn the car was without keys. 

As I was not prepared to move an inoperative unit – including one to which a key was unavailable – the time and money I spent traveling to the pickup location was wasted.  When I presented Mr. Nguyen with these facts, he dismissed my concern.

Mr. Landsman dispatched to me the moves of two automobiles from Tampa, Florida to Davie, Florida.  Although I had problems with both units – one unit had to cool before it would drive onto my car hauler, the other had a weak battery that caused the car to require a jump start each time I needed to drive the car – I did not add an inoperative vehicle fee to either unit. 

When Mr. Landsman received his automobiles at his delivery location, Mr. Landsman paid with a debit card; he then waited a month or so and then he disputed the charge.  The charge was reversed, and when I telephoned Mr. Landsman about the matter he could only offer profanity followed immediately with his termination of the call.

I ordered from https://swordsswords.com last month and they gave me the wrong product and I reached back to the customer service and they were very helpful in order to replace the product. After my request, they sent my actual order and I didn’t know at the time that the product I ordered is not what they delivered to my address. Because I wasn’t home at that time and my wife received the passage. She also didn’t check as she knew I was waiting for it and thought to give me the surprise.

When I reached home late, my wife was already asleep and hide the package as she was intending to give me herself. Later the next day she surprised me with the package and I was very excited about it. We then planned to make an unboxing video in support of swordsswords.com. The moment we started the unboxing I felt as if something is wrong with my product.

My heart began to sank and there it was the product I was desperately waiting for some time. I am very thankful to the https://swordsswords.com for such professional customer service and the product. I wish them the best of luck and hoping to shop from them again.

I ordered KETO product off of Facebook which was advertised at 2 bottles for $ 39.99 (or $ 39.98),

Order process required my credit card first. when amount showed up that my credit card would be charged $ 199.99 I backed out of the page I was on. The next day I received an email saying my card had been charged $ 199.99  I called their customer service & said I wanted to return the item for a refund & their advertising was deceptive.

They offered for me to keep the item(s) & they would issue me a credit of $ 99.00  Told them I did not want that. My purchase was supposed to amount to $ 39.99 x 2, plus any applicable sales tax & shipping.

They then said I would be charged $ 10.00 per bottle. I never opened the box but I think there are 5 bottles inside which would amount to $ 50.00 restocking charges. I think this company is practicing shady business practices.

My name is Robert Evans, I’m a NYC fashion photographer who recently did business with Trevor Dutch a mlae fashion model with an agency called Him Eros/EMG Models via their NYC Agency. I invited him into my studio. I’m a photographer and he seemed to be drunk or on drugs when he arrived. I had paid the agency a fee of $200 to shoot him as a professional model for my website and social media to promote my photography.

I had seen him on Project Runway as a male model and really liked his unique look. I was very disappointed with his behavior. He became violent and punched me in the face and stole my Rolex watch, Chanel Sunglasses, and some cash I had in my wallet. He promotes himself as Trevor Dutch on Instagram. I’m reporting him as a violent Male that should not be in the fashion industry. 

Back in early April, 2021, I ordered a Bicycling Frogs wind spinner yard art that Brassbreeze had advertized on Yahoo complete with a video of it in operation.  The item was not delivered until late May and was almost nothing like the product depicted on their website and looks cheap and cheesy in comparison.  The frog figures are molded plastic and not metal and the legs are flat stamped sheet metal and not hammered and painted as in the photographs and video.  There was only one screw provided to attach the plastic frogs to the bicycle and there was no spindle shaft on which to mount the bicycle. 

I feel that the product that was delivered is in no way worth the price charged for the item and requested a refund of the purchase price via email to the address provide on their website: [email protected].  I offered to return the product and asked that they provide a Return Request form/number so I could send it back to the address in Carson, CA where it came from.  They responded with the following message sent from email address: [email protected] 

“Hello, I’m sorry that our product is not to your satisfaction.Our products are shipped according to your order.And We have clearly explained and marked the color and size of the product.Each company has its own rules and requirements for returns.First of all, there is no problem with the product you received.If now because you do not like and return, return freight is to need you to bear.Because the logistics cost is collected by the logistics company.

You need to be aware of this.If you still need to return the goods, I will give you the return address in the next email.Looking forward to your reply.”   I agreed to pay return shipping and asked again for a Return Authorization number.  They never responded although I kept requesting several times up until the end of July.  I told them in my last correspondence that if they did not respond that I would file a ripoff report against Brassbreeze which I am doing now.   The person who provided the initial (and only) response identified herself as “Phoebe”.  

The collaborators of the company contacted my parents to persuade them to invest in Veridia, but then they never showed up again.

They ran away with my poor parents’ money who saved a life.

Here is how this scam worked:

1. Received on my dily email (anybody can harvest emails) a FAKE charge on my paypal account. A phone number claiming to be PAYPAL’s fraud prevention was included at the bottom of this fake invoice. You know the usual – “if you didn’t make this order please call paypal fraud prevention department at 801-893-7293.

2. The person answering had copied word by word the protocol of responding to a customer, asked me for my verification and email associated to paypal after I told him I never made this order.

3. After he got my real email associated with paypal he told me the 1st fake order was cancelled and said he temporarily put a new charge of $389.99 to my account that I will NOT be charged. I was charged they used this time my real email associated with paypal. He asked me to NOT LOGIN INTO MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT FOR 48 hours “while the verification process is going on”. I becaume a bit suspicious and called paypal USING THEIR OFFICIAL 1800-221-1161; 1888-895-5610 or direct 402-935-2050.

4. Paypal told me “there is NO requirement to avoid logging into paypal and change my info untill investigation is going on. Paypal does NOT HAVE A Fraud Department Investigation phone 801-893-7293. I changed my password & filed a real fraud complaign.

5. I reviwed the fraud process & filed a second complaign explaining this time, how the scammer got my real email & placed a VERIFICATION SERVICE charge, that I never ordered. Offcourse the scammer Annop Sen had to put his name & email and is NOT part of verification service (this doesn’t exist) & paypal believed, I was correct. Waiting for my refund now.

What helped me was verifying, by calling the real paypal numbers I already had. Lesson: do not trust any strange phone numbers & very “professionaly sounding fraud prevention” call, just call back the the real paypal numbers.
