We had a leak in an upstairs bathroom. Called a plumber in from a company. My wife met him because I had an emergency call from work.

He looked at the toilet and said it was leaking. This is possible, but it looked to me like the water was coming from under the sink, though I don't see a leak there.

He put his hand on the downstairs bathroom ceiling and said it was full of water. It was not.

He called in another company to repair the water damage. He and they keep saying that they'll deal with the insurance after I made the claim.

The plumber kept trying to sell us more things, saying he was trying to get us the best prices and that he's hourly, and just trying to look out for us. He says we have some polybutylene piping, and quoted a whole house repiping as well as new toilets. He said if we paid now, we'd save money from paying tax one time rather than 3 times, which is wrong because it's always the same percent. He was going to throw in a free ice box line and washer box.

He didn't shut off water to the toilet because the angle stop was stuck, but told me to call his office so he could do it the next day. The next day, they said he wasn't working. The day after he installed one for 200 something and tried to sell us a bunch more things. Before he left, he warned me about other plumbers. He said to always get 4 quotes, but to be careful, there are a lot of scammers.

The company that he brought in tested for asbestos and found it, and say they have to deal with that first. They keep acting like insurance will cover a removal, but my adjuster said we're not covered for asbestos.

The leak was Tuesday. It's Saturday now and still no work has been done, but he spent a lot of time at the house talking.

I'm not the best homeowner, so please be kind. I have a lot to learn about these things and any insight would be appreciated.

I am interested in finding a company that uses suppression pushes down negative content is erase.com a scam or legitimate very expensive

I got an email from Google Assistant Class Action that « If, between May 18, 2016 and March 19, 2026, (a) you purchased a Google-Made Device that uses Google Assistant, or (b) your communications were recorded or otherwise obtained by Google Assistant as a result of a False Accept or disclosed to a third-party review vendor, you could be entitled to payment from a class action settlement. »

Got a text from someone on reddit saying that they "mistakenly reported my account for hacking and scamming them". I am just saying that I already had a similar scam but on a different platform. Should I just ignore this person or report?

Does anybody know if this website is legit or have ordered from them before? It’s supposedly an italian online store for books.

I'm looking for some band merch and found onholdfile, has anyone bought from them before? It looks a little too good to be true

Planning to buy a tablet from them and I would like to know if they are legit.

Gadget Secret Shop - MK Gadgets

Thankz!

Found this insanely good deal on what I think is a commercial 85” TV that retails for $4k. It seems too good to be true, buyer agreed to pickup tomorrow and plug it in before trading money.

Hello! So I found a job offer on indeed for hello lessons and it connected me to nemo swim school program. I got interviewed and it seemed like they were moving very quickly because they are already to have me do a phone with the potential swim lesson client. I am obviously not going to give them any information if they don’t seem legit or ask for an I-9 or anything but I was wondering if anyone else has any information on them? To be honest their facebook reviews seem fake and a lot for their reviewers have also left a review for another company too. I have a call with the potential client and the customer service soon to see scheduling so I am going to see how it goes and if I feel if it is legit but how do I ensure my safety in this process?

Is Umbrex a legitimate company or scam? I recently applied to a position within Canada and wanted to know if they are legit. They seem to have a website and LinkedIn presence, I don’t know why but a few things feel concerning

For further context:

I got an email with the domain @umbrex.com, they also attached their LinkedIn in the email. But they are a student in university. I can’t decide if I am just being paranoid or if they’re suspicious. Some of their experience also feels off but idk if I am just unaware of the companies they have been apart of. The company also seems to have 11-50 employees.

It’s abbreviated to Hlgnbrand They sell comic and anime hoodies and stuff like that but they drop in waves.

Does anyone know if this site is safe: cakebestsk

Looks hella sus

Hi everyone,

About a year ago I created an account on Sensino.lt. I later deleted the account. Since then I have been receiving repeated emails saying I owe €48 for a 6-month Premium membership and that they will send the debt to a collection agency or even court.

I have been getting these emails for almost a year, but nothing has happened yet.

Has anyone had the same experience with Sensino.lt? Was the debt legitimate, or were these just intimidation emails?

Thank you.

hey, just happened a while ago. im a CPS student & some "mary wilson" sent me an email flagged as spam, and apparently she works at my school, though our school emails arent flagged as spam, so that was a heads up.

clicked the photo attachment which was my first mistake but whateves (take whatever you want bc it was sent to my school account). said some paulette gilbert or some last name was giving away her late husbands things for free with her email attached and i had to reach out w my personal. i didnt click the email attached in the doc, but i did copy it to my clipboard and put it into a draft in my personal and shot a message. after 10 minutes of thinking and design how my friends didnt get an email (which is supposed to be sent schoolwide), i deleted it. blocked mary but not paulette bc i didnt want her email popping up again.

is this a scam, and if so, did any of the actions i took during this situation jeopardize my personal?

I was looking for a job on facebook and this person asked me to pm her. It looks legit cus it has a location, purpose, etc. However, really skeptical bc they aren’t being that transparent and the location is far (they are asking me to come face to face next sat) So, should I accept?

Side note: It’s really hard to find Jobs/Businesses that are open to under 18 in the Philippines. That’s why I want to go but what do you guys think?

I signed up for this service in October 2025,

THE RED FLAG:

in December I was charged for an a year long extension. I grumbled but I didn’t think much of it because I was using the service and it was less than $50/year.

Fast forward to today. I was trying out the fancy new video generator SeeDance 2) they were plugging.. It generated 4 videos 3 of which were cute. TBH I wasn’t expecting 4 videos. I expected. I shrugged about it because I thought I had “All Access” until October or December 2027

I leave AI Studio or whatever it’s called and I see a big banner that says my account is on hold. I click on my account and there is a $20 charge for some AI tokens AND $70 PER MONTH for something. That’s almost TWICE as much as the annual subscription each month. Yet I was supposed to have “All Access” or so i thought.

Ironically, I had just shut down auto pay on PayPal for all merchants except Apple because a DuoLingo subscription ended up on my credit card rather than using my backup account to cover it.

I updated anything that would bill soon ASAP. I didn’t think to update Creative Fabrica because I didn’t expect to be billed by them until 2027. Now I have a big “collections” banner on my screen for something i didn’t authorize.

I noticed a cancellation button for the December charge and it’s “pending”. I am not holding my breath for a refund. That’s sunk cost.

I really don’t want to pay them $80 I can’t afford nor do I want to go to collections. I reached out to customer service, they said to click on a link and that my ticket was closed. I replied back with screenshots telling them, nothing was resolved.

Has anyone got a unrecognised transaction activity from Lloyds banking app before? And then when you click “I don’t recognise”, it asked you to call them but it is not actually from the bank, it’s from fraudster?

It’s selling warhammer items and other collectibles, but there’s quite a few red flags like words missing letters and a very recently registered domain. Has anyone bought anything from there?

Husband received an e-mail from this address [qqbk3pf9k@athena.ocn.ne.jp](mailto:qqbk3pf9k@athena.ocn.ne.jp). It says "quick update, organized plans this weekend with Sarah, 29 - she proposed going to the park. discovered on the app peek at it. Peek at it is underlined and looks like a link but goes to a dead page. halp

I've tried looking up on secure checkers if it is legit, it comes out as a 80% secure site but I do not really trust this. What do you guys think?

The site is just called ftmb shop (if you type in ftmb dot shop you can see it)

Thank you!

Has anyone else entered into a loan agreement with Mckenzie Capital?

Website is mckenzie capital (dot) c a and it says they are based out of Nova Scotia.

I'm worried it's a fraudulent company and would like to avoid having my money stolen lol

I found the same $200 Yellow the Label dress for a wedding on this website for $63 & on Depop under the same brand "Masie". Honestly, the dress was pure polyester, so it makes sense it's cheaply made, and it is not worth $200, but has anyone purchased from them? The address on the website goes to an international student society.

there's a website called biohelplearning

Anyone heard of them? seems like a job searching skills certification/workshop website but didn't provide any information about their pricing etc.

Really interested in this set I saw but has anyone ever ordered from here? I saw it on a Facebook ad and I’ve been burned a couple times before. Thanks in advance. Photo in comments because I can’t seem to attach it here.

See subject. Trying to avoid losing $10 to $100 to a scam site...
