I receive a phone call almost every day (sometimes multiple calls in one day) from spoofed numbers (latest is 833-588-3819; this phone number has changed multiple times since these calls started, but has been consistent over the last several attempts) always with the following transcript: “Hello, this is [name] calling in reference to your loan approval. This is [first and last name] with the credit executive office regarding your personal loan request. I've been trying to reach you over the past few days to finalize your request and go over the steps with you based on the latest review, it looks like we may be able to approve you for around $50,000. You can either login to your loan portal to complete the closing documents or if you'd like to speak with your loan specialist now you can press one or call us directly at 833-588-3819. Have a great day. I am looking forward to speaking with you." I always decline these calls and they go to my voicemail where they leave the above message. Looking back, these calls initially started at the end of July 2025- it is now March 2026 and I've received nearly 100 voicemail messages from these phone calls. The transcript in my voicemail changes slightly, but I have never even listened to the voicemail, let alone answer the phone.

They are offering a discount service but when you are ready to leave the company they try and make you bill anyway before you can cancel.

Guy named Jim Beech called and said we won the Benjamin Edward Sweepstakes. 12 Million and a Porsche at 10,000 per month. Would send us a 10,000 dollar check we were not to cash until we received instructions. $5000. of it would be used to pay fees that they wanted. They wanted to know how long it took checks to clear at my bank. I gave them no information about me or my bank. They sent me a registared packet in the mail which was black and white copies of Approved stuff trying to show the legitimacy of their Sweepstakes. They called and called alot. I finally stopped answering their calls all together at the advice of the State Of Wyoming's Attorney Generals Office . And filed the info with the USPS since they used the mails. The packet came from an address in the Bronx, NY.

Scam email said our company ordered online advertising services with them and we did not. They threatened us with a bad (R9) Rating to Credit Reporting Agencies. Then offer us 15% discount if we pay by e-transfer.

I received a notification of a class-action settlement against my former employer, Garnet Health Medical Center. I started filling out the documents and it didn't feel right so I started trying to find out about it. Nothing added up. I located the company in WY, not MO. A scam-detector online scored them 43 out of 100 - moderate risk. They asked for my SSN, and the account number of my IRA, as well as other personal information. I'd love if this was real, but sounded too good to be true. I have all the documents but no way right now to upload them.

The website US Passport claims to save you time going to get your passport however just enters your info into forms you can get for free at the post office. You'll still have a $35 fee at the post office and a $130 passport fee - so the $185 is a SCAM getting your info into free forms and doesn't save you any time other than hand writing into forms you can get at USPS.

Barbara called from 411smartsearch.ca and wanted to know if we still wanted a listing with them for 2026. She said 2025 was a complimentary year & if we wanted to continue with the listing we would have to pay for it. She did not say how much but asked to speak to the marketing person. Her phone #: 844-357-8788 ext. 202.

We keep receiving a bill from Executive Office Supply for toner cartridges that we did not order. They even state the name of one of our employees as the person ordering. We don't know how they got our information. Sometimes we receive cartridges and sometimes we do not. We have paid way too many of these blindly thinking that they were actually being ordered, but they are not. We have a company that sends us toner that is included in our contract payments. We have tried to contact the company via phone and no one answers. We have decided to stop paying for these as we did not order them. This company is very much a scam.

they keep calling from various different numbers and i just block them and they keep calling every day

I purchase 2 pairs of boots through Lennox and Gray New York. The boots were nothing like described online. The boots arrived after 14 days, very cheap material and to small. I tried several times to contact customer service over phone, its all automated. They said they communicate over email. I have been back and forth with them, trying to return and get a refund. They only wanted to give me 30% refund at first, I have been emailing them. I wanted to return for full refund, I said they would refund me 60% and to keep product. This back and forth is ridiculous, I just want my money back for a product that didn't meet expectations and I am getting the run around. Want to warn other people so they do not order from company

It lists multiple jobs available, for instance, for airports near me. And when I click on the listing to apply, it has no button to apply or anything. It's just a webpage. There's also another one, just like it with a very similar name.And the web page looks identical, called AeroJobs.xom

The scammer said he was from Publishers Clearing house. He got our name supposedly because we have shopped at Walmart and spent over 30.00. Said his name was Dave Sayer. We had won $2.5 million dollars and a new 2026 Denali with a year insurace and 3 months of free gas from shell.$7,500 a week for 6 months. He gave us check #'s and winning prize #. All we had to do was go to Dollar General and purchase 2 money cards for $500.00 each and the prize patrol would be on there way in 2-3 days. I knew it was a scam from the beginning but let him go to find out what he wanted us to do to get this amazing reward. My hang up message was not pretty for this guy. He makes it very attractive so I hope people don't fall for it. Would have cost us $1,000.00.

I wasn’t looking for anything extravagant—just a one-bedroom condo where I could start over quietly. That’s why the listing on Trulia felt like a small miracle. Clean floors. Neutral walls.The price was reasonable for the neighborhood. It looked safe. It looked real. I reached out immediately. The man who responded introduced himself as David Montano. He said he was the property manager and that the unit had just come on the market. His tone was professional—measured, calm, even reassuring. He answered my questions without hesitation. He offered to meet me at the condo for a walk-through. When I arrived for the appointment in January, The complex was quiet. I got turned around trying to find the exact building and called David for directions. As I stood near a row of parked cars, a maintenance worker passed by. David stayed on the line, guiding me. I handed the phone to the maintenance man for clarification, hoping he could explain exactly where I was standing. They spoke briefly. When he handed the phone back to me, he nodded casually—as if everything made sense. That small exchange gave me a wave of relief. If the maintenance staff knew him, then surely this was legitimate. David arrived a few minutes later. He looked the part. Confident. Put together. Not rushed. He greeted me warmly and led me to the condo. At the door, he pulled out his phone and unlocked a smart lock with a quick tap on his screen. The door clicked open. That sound erased most of my doubt. Inside, he walked me through the unit like someone who had done it a hundred times before. He pointed out the appliances, the storage, the balcony view. He answered my questions about utilities and parking. He even handed me a rental application and later provided a formal lease agreement. While we were talking outside afterward, I noticed an older man walking nearby with a young girl—his granddaughter, he said when we exchanged pleasantries. He mentioned he was a professor at USD and that his daughter had recently purchased a condo next to the one I was considering. It was such an ordinary interaction. The kind that makes a place feel like home before you even move in. I submitted the rental application and signed the lease. David provided wire ach and zelle instruction. I transferred the first month’s rent and the security deposit. Then he contacted me again with a concern: according to him, the ACH transfer hadn’t cleared in time for my scheduled move-in date. He said the property owner required confirmation of funds before releasing the keys. I didn’t want to lose the unit. I had already given notice where I was staying. My move-in date was set. Everything in my life was shifting around this timeline. He suggested I provide an additional $1,000 toward the following month’s rent as a temporary assurance until the ACH cleared. He said once the transfer posted, everything would be reconciled. It felt urgent. It felt inconvenient—but not impossible. He had met me in person. He had unlocked the door. He had paperwork. There was a maintenance worker who seemed to recognize him. There was a grandfatherly neighbor who made the place feel safe. So I sent the additional $1,000. After that, the tone changed. Each time I asked about picking up the keys, there was a delay Three stalls. Three excuses. My anxiety started as a whisper and grew into something louder. I decided to call the central office number listed for the property complex. I expected a receptionist. A leasing office. Some confirmation that David was exactly who he said he was. Instead, the person who answered told me there was no central office. I paused, thinking I had dialed incorrectly. I mentioned that I had been working with a property manager named David Montano. The voice on the other end of the line changed immediately—sharp, defensive. They claimed they knew nothing about a David Montano. When I said I would be going to the police if this was fraudulent, the tone shifted again. The same voice quickly retracted their statement and admitted they were aware of someone by that name pretending to be a property manager and scamming people. They said they would need to gather details from me. Before I could finish explaining, they hung up. I called back immediately. No answer. I called again. No answer. That was the moment the floor fell out from under me. Everything I had pieced together—the walk-through, the smart lock, the maintenance worker, the professor neighbor—suddenly felt orchestrated. Too smooth. Too perfectly placed to lower my guard. I replayed the January tour in my mind. The maintenance worker who had briefly spoken to David on the phone. Had he truly known him? Or had he simply been trying to give directions to a stranger on the other end? Did he even know who he was talking to? And the older man with his granddaughter. The one who mentioned being a professor at USD and that his daughter had just bought a condo nearby. Was that coincidence? Or part of something coordinated to make the environment feel credible? The thought unsettled me more than the money. If this was a fraud ring—if multiple people were involved—then it wasn’t just about financial deception. It meant calculated staging. It meant layered trust-building. It meant rehearsed normalcy. And what about the child? The little girl walking beside her grandfather. If he was truly her grandfather, was he aware of what was happening? Or was she unknowingly present in a situation designed to manipulate trust? I don’t know which possibility disturbs me more. The smart lock is what haunts me the most. He opened it from his device without hesitation. It wasn’t a fake key. It wasn’t forced entry. It responded instantly. That means he had access—either authorized or cleverly obtained. How? Was he once affiliated with the property? Did he exploit a vacancy system? Was someone inside the building assisting him? Each question leads to another. I trusted what I saw. I trusted the sound of that door unlocking. I trusted the ordinary details: a maintenance man, a professor, a granddaughter, a signed lease. Now I’m left with bank records, unanswered calls, and a growing fear that this wasn’t an isolated scammer—but potentially something larger. I am worried not only about my financial loss, but about the safety of anyone else who might walk into that same hallway believing they are about to start a new chapter of their life. Because I did. And somewhere between the listing on Trulia and the third delayed promise of keys, that new chapter turned into a cautionary tale. I don’t know yet how wide this reaches. I don’t know how many others have sent money. I don’t know whether the maintenance worker or the older man were innocent bystanders or pieces of a calculated illusion. What I do know is this: The door opened. The lease was signed. The money was sent and the keys never came

Funding notice. New funding amount as a result of my current economic status has changed. Phone number and and ID to call them. No business name and very vague letter.

I am writing regarding the garage repair work performed at my home, for which I paid over $7,300 across three separate payments. The repair charges do not appear reasonable, and the matter remains unresolved. I would like to clearly outline the issues: I never received a written estimate before the work began, and additional parts and systems were added without clear written estimates provided in advance. Pricing was not disclosed prior to installation, and the final invoice exceeding $5,000 was presented only after the work had already been completed and I was asked to sign documents after. The first invoice, which you explained as labor and measurement for $479, seemed reasonable. The second invoice was for installing two new systems, which I accepted. After those repairs, I reasonably expected the garage system to be fully functional. However, the garage still did not work properly, and I was given confusing technical explanations. I was told there would be no additional labor charges, only parts, yet the final invoice continued to increase significantly. The final charge for a residential garage repair is extremely high. Typical ranges in California are: Motor replacement: $500–$1,500 Full system replacement: $1,500–$3,500 Under California law, you are required to provide a written estimate with a clear breakdown of parts and pricing before performing the work. You did not disclose pricing or clearly explain costs in advance, even when I asked. And I was presented with a surprise final invoice after the work was completed, under pressure to sign and pay. Charging for unapproved items, repeatedly adding parts without cost disclosure, and failing to provide a written estimate are unlawful practices. Although I received a $1,500 refund after multiple attempts to contact you to resolve this issue, my garage door is still not functioning properly after just one month. I called to request a repair under the warranty, but I was told there would be a $129 service fee just for the inspection. It was also mentioned that it is not guaranteed the repair will be covered under the warranty until after the inspection. If it is not covered, I would need to pay additional repair costs. This does not seem reasonable to me.

Once you purchase the tickets, they call you and say that you purchased flexible tickets and the flight you purchased is not available. Also, they say you cannot cancel or receive a refund, but the flight wasn't cancel because i called the airline. So, then they go buy the tickets with your card and charged the price of a 2nd ticket for their service charge.

The scammer was offering a job without saying what the company was and then at the end was asking to do a background check and asking for personal information. There was no website given or any email address of the company just the phone number in the text message which I provided already.

Scam site. I never received my goods. Others received very low quality goods while expecting quality goods as shown on website. Avoid this site and company.

I applied for the role of Remote Registrar position from an ad on LinkedIn for Platt College. I was contacted via email about further steps for consideration. I completed the attached questionnaire on Feb 27th. On March 3rd, I was offered the position - including salary requirements, benefits,etc. The email seemed suspicious as it asked for information that was provided on my resume.

I received a flyer on my door that said in bold, red and white…. Homeowner Notice. They claimed to be a clean energy program that provides energy efficient upgrades to your home. And are contracted by “The County” Which is Alameda County. I called the number on the flyer and set an appointment. Someone arrived to do an inspection and see if I qualify. In the process of qualifying my Social Security number and drivers identification were given to the individual. After him telling me that I qualified we did a walk-through of the property. As we did the walk-through, I noticed that he didn’t know any information that a normal contractor would know. Especially since I’ve dealt with so many in my home in the past. After noticing this, I asked him for his identification which he claimed not to have for the job or personal to drive. At that moment he gave me a fake job identification number and he also let me take a picture of a possibly fake contract with the address on top. As he rushed off, he put his phone to his head to pretend he was on a call and I asked him to bring his ID from his car and he just put his hand up and jumped in his car and drove off.

Romi is a “dating” app. You instantly get matched with everyone you like. They all message you first. It all seems fine…and then the paywall hits. No more messaging unless you subscribe. I did. Just to try it. You’re unable to exchange any kind of info and I believe the profiles are fake. Each profile messaged me the same way. They talked the same way. When I brought up the possibility of the app being a scam they all reacted the same way. At times sent the exact same message. This app needs to be taken down.

They had my social and home address but didn’t confirm my identity nor would even after asking many questions. I finally said I would pay $25 and that is all I can afford since I am on disability and limited income. They tried again to withdraw money without success and the called me to call them back about this debt. And I tried calling the number they gave and it came back as does not exist. I googled the name and any number I found was as does not exist. I was sent a payment arrangement via my email and the name and number s are also fake.
