Employment

I was initially contacted by a false HR Representative named Shalena Scott about a Data Entry position I had applied for at a company called Assort Health. They put me in contact with a recruiter named Michael Guerico, who told me about the position. They had me fill out a questionnaire that seemed legitimate, then told me I had the job based on my answers. They sent over a real W4 form, an I9 form, a direct deposit form, and an offer of employment that looked very real. I filled out everything and sent it back. Then, they were asking me to purchase software ahead of time for training, and emailed me checks for $3,925 and $950 from Choiceone Bank under Flux Technologies to purchase a 3 month software license and Quickbooks for training. Both checks bounced, so they sent me another check from a different bank to try and deposit, this time for $2,440.23 from First Citizens Bank and Trust Company, to supposedly use towards both programs. I have not printed out or deposited the check yet, because I realized that the “Michael Guerico” I had been talking to is supposed to be Michael GEURCIO and that his name was misspelled. Apparently there is a scam going around with Assort Health, but they are sending over actual W4 and I9 documents for people to fill out. Anyway, now these scammers have my social security number, bank routing and account numbers, and other very sensitive information about me.

This platform I thought was off from the moment I signed up. I did everything that they requested and was very specific as to what I was looking for and my parameters. In one month, not one match from someone who was not paid or enticed or was a bot contacted me. I was bombarded by fake profiles and I started to tell them to leave me alone and I was not interested, of course I had to pay them to leave me alone. But they didn’t. Even when I called them out for their lies, they still wanted me to respond so they can keep their free status position on the site. No real people at all. Every single one, over 300 free users from all over the world because they didn’t have any people that met my criteria. All different ages and even had women messaging me. It clearly states that I am looking for a man. I emailed them to address this ongoing shady tactics that were never answered and their phone number is disconnected. So I did my research. I took screenshots of everything and screenshot of the broken links they tried to send me to try and talk to someone.

Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Chase Bank Imposter - Fake Fraud Alert - Phishing Scam

Received a call from a number that matched JP Morgan Chase bank with a quick Google search +1 (212) 552-5100. Stated a Zelle account in my name was used to transfer $5,000 to Amanda Smith in Long Beach, California. Gave me a case ID # and cancellation ID #s. I was then suddenly transferred to a 2nd person who claimed to be from Zelle and asked me to log into my account so they could cancel the transaction. This person had my name, phone number and previous addresses of residence. I kept explaining I don't have a Zelle account but he asked me to log into my bank account. I refused and asked how to deal with this another way. He said I could go to the bank but I would still need to dispute with Zelle. When I asked for further instructions, because this wasn't making sense, the man became agitated and began yelling at me "I already told you what to do!" He ended the call shortly after this.

He refused to pay for the extra work and told me I had to provide free delivery to his location and he refused to pay for the sandblasting that it need.

Phishing - Priceline IMPOSTER

I made a complaint on Priceline's Facebook page that I needed a refund or cancellation. The next day I got a call from someone claiming to be from Priceline Customer Service. He was going to begin my refund and had me download Lemfi, a financial service app that helps you send, receive, and manage money across countries. As I was "setting up my account" I transferred $499 to his account. The scammer had me set up a username and password that "Priceline" would need to transfer the refund to my account. I followed the directions as we were setting up the transfer as he continued to give me strange dollar amounts to enter that would be withdrawn from my debit card. At the time he explained that it was not withdrawing money but entering codes to connect me with Priceline. After the screen appeared to show that I had transferred $99 and then $400 I disconnected the call, closed my Lemfi account and called my bank. But it was an instant transfer and my bank says they cannot get my money back.

On 9/2/2026, a male technician arrived at the home, and an elderly person let them in after they said they were there to inspect the furnace. The caregiver was home with them but was in the bathroom. When the caregiver exited the bathroom, she found this individual downstairs looking into the closet where the furnace was housed. After questioning by the caregiver, he responded that he had just finished an inspection and had returned upstairs. They contacted me to verify the appointment. I informed her that this appointment was not set up by me or the family and that she should not issue payment and ask to be billed, and should obtain more contact information. When she joined them upstairs, the individual had obtained a credit card from the client, and it was declined. He asked for another credit card, but the caregiver intervened and explained that payment for services and approval for appointments would need to be managed by the care manager. I received 2 calls from the technician Ari/Orie, stating that he obtained a work order from Air Optics to inspect the furnace. I asked for contact information for Air Optics, and the technician did not respond. I received phone calls the following day from 1-866-352-3693, aggressively trying to collect payment. When I pressed for more information, they said they would get back to me and would only call back to attempt to collect payment, but with no further information.

Online Purchase - Zelle support, Zelle impostor

I was selling a refrigerator on facebook for $200 and someone purchased it and used a Zelle business account that didn't go through. I then received a text from a Zelle imposter (didn't know at the time, it looked real) and was given a phone number for Zelle support. When I called, the person identified himself as James Anderson with badge ID # ZL-6839. He said the business account attempting to pay me could not send under $500 so the buyer would have to send an additional $700 and I would have to repay $500 to keep my original $200 for the refrigerator purchase. When it wouldn't go through Zelle he said "something is wrong on our end, sorry about that" so we used third party apps to try and send. He said to enter 999 as a transaction code, but it was really the amount taken out of my bank account. He assured me he's working from the background and that it's only a code, but it was indeed my money. By the time we attempted this authorization code I checked my back statement and it was actually transactions of $999.

Debt Collections

I didn’t write down the company name or amount of money. Caller claimed to be a debt collector and that I had past due balance over $800 for lab tests. Since I have full insurance coverage and have all lab work done at my insurance clinic or approved hospital, there’s no way I owe for labs. The caller said the tests would have been from 4/7/24 or up to 90 days prior. I invited him to send me a bill, which he said was too late, so I invited him to take me to court. He tried telling me that would add expenses to what I owe, and I said “Fine, that will allow me discovery because I think I’m talking to a scammer.” He transferred me to “a supervisor”, who claimed to be in charge of “client benefits”. By then I was laughing, which set him off mocking me. He called me by a previous name and said he wasn’t going to take me to court because he would ruin my credit report instead. I told him that both the bill and my credit report seem to be in the wrong name, so why should I care? He hung up on me.

Government Agency Imposter - USPTO-TRADEMARKED

The trademark for my business is current and up to date. Despite this, I received the following email: I hope this email finds you well. This email serves as a final notice concerning your trademark application for "Mark ()." As previously communicated, we have delayed filing a new application on behalf of another applicant, based on your indication of intent to renew your trademark. However, due to the absence of further action or communication, we are now obligated to proceed. If we do not receive your confirmation to renew within the next 24 hours, we will initiate the application on behalf of the new applicant. Under Section 1(b) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1051), an applicant must demonstrate a clear intent to use the mark in commerce within the legally allotted timeframe. Failure to act within this period may jeopardize your claim to trademark rights, leading to potential abandonment and loss of priority over the mark. Once a new application is submitted, any attempt to challenge it will require formal proceedings before the Trademark Trial and Appeal Board (TTAB), as specified under 15 U.S.C. § 1067. Should the TTAB accept the new applicant’s filing, it may become increasingly difficult and costly to establish your claim over the mark. Further, under Section 7 of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1057), once a new registration is granted, asserting priority rights over the mark can become more complex, affecting your ability to maintain exclusivity. To safeguard your rights over the "Mark ()" trademark, we strongly urge you to take immediate action. Should your application remain inactive, the USPTO may confirm the abandonment status of your trademark filing, limiting future options to claim ownership over the mark. We are here to assist you with the renewal process and answer any questions regarding the necessary steps to avoid further conflicts. Please contact me directly at ?(404) 585-0147 if you need immediate assistance. Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter. We look forward to your confirmation within the next 24 hours.

Daily text messages saying my full name, an updated phone number that has changed several times, includes a case number, and states this is urgent. The text messages are usually not the same in content. One will say that they received a case, and to call the corrected phone number. The phone numbers they ask you to call are 1-888-530-9233 , 1-888-790-9281 , 1-866-331-5888 , 1-866-744-6421 , 1-866-418-1255 , and 1-866-508-2453. Googling all phone numbers comes back as a scam. I have blocked and reported all their attempts. I have also never received anything by mail from any official authority claiming I owe a debt. That would be a bit awkward considering I filed for bankruptcy 10 years ago and my attorney used every debtor that was on my credit report at the time. Since I don't owe anyone any money other than my student and car loan. Absolute scam on probably some very very old debts.

Romance

I had a Grindr account and I was targeted by multiple men who work together essentially as a gang. They would impersonate different personalities and pretend to be interested in me. Ever since, I have been monitored and set up in continuous situations.

WARNING — I strongly recommend staying away from US Trademark Hub and Deputy Sol TM. My experience with US Trademark Hub has been extremely concerning. I paid this company for trademark services, but instead of seeing the services I expected completed, I was continually asked for additional money. When I questioned the delays, I was repeatedly told that the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office was responsible. Hailey Pierce was one of the primary people I dealt with, along with other members of their team who answered the phone. I also became concerned when I discovered that names displayed on their website did not appear to correspond with the people I was actually dealing with. I was eventually told that I would receive a refund. That refund has also been delayed and, as of the date of this review, the situation remains unresolved. I would also strongly caution consumers about Deputy Sol TM, which was involved in processing transactions related to my dealings with US Trademark Hub. If you see either US Trademark Hub or Deputy Sol TM associated with your trademark services or payments, I recommend doing your own investigation before sending any money. Based on my experience, I believe the practices I encountered were misleading and potentially deceptive. I strongly encourage anyone dealing with these companies to independently verify their trademark application and its actual status directly with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. STAY CLEAR OF US TRADEMARK HUB AND DEPUTY SOL TM. Do your research, verify everything independently, and be extremely cautious before providing either company with your money.

Phishing - Publisher's Clearing House Scam

I was told that I had won a prize through publishers clearing house. To receive I would need to pay to be licensed and register for the money. To do this I was supposed to go get a gift card at my nearby dollar general for the amount. When I asked what he meant by licensed the answer didn't make sense. He said I needed to be licensed for my own safety... and then told me to go get an amazon gift card, and to keep the receipt for processing purposes.
