WARNING: Check your Boost Protect / Likewize iPhone replacement for "Non-Genuine" parts + Record Discrepancies

I’ve paid $63/month for Boost Protect/AppleCare coverage for over two years. When I received a replacement device, an official Apple Diagnostic / Settings check confirmed it contained non-genuine, unauthenticated internal display components. When I escalated this to Corporate, they submitted conflicting dates to regulators and retroactively altered my account portal logs. I'm organizing a collective petition for the FCC and OAG to have our consumer protection agencies actually assist help with citizens consumer complaints. I brought this up to Boost Corporate Escalations, instead of replacing the hardware with genuine components, they focused on closing the administrative dispute: Submitted conflicting dates to federal oversight agencies regarding when account credits were allegedly issued/ Retroactive Portal Changes: Modified my online billing history months after the fact to retroactively insert a $63 credit card payment line item that never appeared on my original February 2026 account statement.

Administrative Systemic Billing Fraud & Database Manipulation

My exhausting situation has been actively ongoing for 29 months, originating from initial interactions in October 2025. Throughout this period, Boost Mobile has engaged in continuous corporate misconduct: charging full price for a premium product while forcing me to carry an unauthenticated device, manipulating my payment history to block transparency, and fabricating transaction ledgers.

Since October 2025, I have been in contact with Boost Escalation Managers regarding my dissatisfaction with a local retail storefront. The store sold me Boost AppleCare insurance coverage but overcharged me for repairs involving unauthorized, non-genuine parts. Boost Mobile escalation manager requested proof of my purchase date and insurance coverage, claiming she could only see 10 months of payments. I provided documentation proving the device was purchased on March 18, 2024, and that I had paid for insurance for 20 months leading up to October 27, 2025. Upon receiving this proof, the manager blocked my email address and ceased communication.

Found a strange substance in B Natural Cranberry Juice after opening it.

So my best friend recently purchased a 750 ml bottle of B Natural Cranberry Juice Low Calorie via JioMart. When she opened the bottle, there was a noticeable loud pop and the juice appeared to be unusually fermented. We also noticed a red fibrous or clot like substance in the bottle. I'll attached photographs.
The bottle says "No Added Preservatives" and "Contains Non Caloric Sweetener."
The bottle was subsequently replaced by the company and I appreciate that the delivery/ company team responded to the immediate issue.
However, the replacement does not really answer the underlying question, what even caused the original product to be in this condition?
I'm not claiming that the substance is harmful without proper testing. That is precisely what concerns me.
I believe the relevant batch should be properly investigated and, if appropriate or sent for laboratory examination.
I've also raised the matter with the relevant food safety and consumer authorities and with the company.

Has anyone experienced something similar with B Natural juices or other packaged fruit beverages? 🤔
