Hey, this is Donovan Monroe. I called your phone twice, but for some reason your phone is going straight to voicemail. The reason why I'm calling is because I have some documents that are being tied directly to your social, an all-state issued ID that you may possess. It also says on here that an asset search is also being conducted too. So if you receive this message and you have not received a red folder or green folder of documents in the mail. You need to contact me in my office as soon as possible. Now, I will have a notary in the office later today to sign and stamp all paperwork. Now, I do understand that this message is somewhat vague, but at the same time, I don't feel comfortable leaving results of a private matter on a voicemail box that can be overheard by a 3rd party or another person. So once again, this is Donovan. I'm leaving the office about 90 minutes earlier than usual today for my daughter's soccer tournament, which actually begins this later this afternoon. So again, when you receive this message, just reach out to me, and I'm gonna explain everything to you in a simple way for you to understand and obviously make the best decision, take care.

I wrote what day. the person replied and asked for the order number that was in the email. AND, my email which she had just used to send the flowers (I should have cancelled then).

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Fake Prize Winner Scam - Publishers Clearing House Impostor

I was contacted through facebook or Meta by Danielle Liam last year in 2025. I went and paid her 650.00 another 700.00 toa Alex Wilson claiming he worked for the publisher clearinghouse from Jericho , NEw York. I spoke to her through Facebook, initially then we started chatting on TElegram where I was told don't talk to anyone else about the prize. I was contacted by the CEO Andrew Goldberg. He promised to fix the problem and asked to buy him Apple gift cards in exchange for 15 million dollars. I followed his instructions then he cheated me out of my win by using Chase Bank manager to ask me for 1200.00 more dollars. I got all the Apple gift cards I purchased him in my wallet, can I sue him and send him to jail. I think they use deceptive business practices to tricked me out of 4500.00 . His team had no right to tell me I won then take the win back after I was promised 15 million dollars.***** ******

Employment

I was approached via email multiple times about my resume and my experience with FedEx. They wanted me to do a 30-day trial temporary job that you had to look over a contract and sign. I was promised $3,000 for 30 days worth of logistics work. I have a contract that they signed and I signed. The address on the contract matches the one on their website so everything look legit. There was a website that had all the shipping information. I had packages come to my house and then I would upload the information and photos of the actual package in their system which did match the same system FedEx use when I used to work for them. They then would send a new label and then I would have to drop it back off at a FedEx location. I did this for 30 days. They said via their payroll department email that they sent a check to me in the mail at my address in Tennessee. I informed them and that I did not receive the check. After waiting over 10 days they responded back to give it a few more days and after that they could reissue the check. At first I didn't think anything of it cuz things do get lost in the mail. However, I've repeatedly tried to contact them after that and I've sent a certified letter via the post office to the address listed on their website and the contract and the post office is saying the address does not exist The certified letter is coming back to me return to sender. The bottom line they're offering jobs getting free labor and not paying. It's a scam and it needs to be stopped. The customers are getting scammed and the 30-day temporary workers are getting scammed. It's not fair.

CryptoCurrency - Bitruvix; Apolloex.org / Apollo / Apollo Investment

This appears to be a cryptocurrency investment scam involving Bitruvix and claimed Apollo/Apollo Investment affiliation. The scam began through WhatsApp and Telegram messages promoting crypto/options trading and directing the target to Bitruvix and Apollo-branded links. Contacts presented trading signals, claimed fast/high profits, and showed account balances/profits on the Bitruvix website. After deposits were made in cryptocurrency, the platform showed a large balance but withdrawal attempts failed. The contacts then said a trading mistake caused an $8,000 principal loss plus $6,400 profit loss, and demanded an additional $14,400 before trading or withdrawals could continue. Another message said withdrawal before an agreement expired would be treated as breach of contract requiring penalties and commissions before withdrawal. Evidence includes screenshots of the chats, Bitruvix deposit records, failed withdrawals, trade history, and withdrawal fee language.

Identity Theft

I am reaching out to ask whether there is a process for reporting or escalating concerns regarding an employer that claimed to have found my application through WorkInTexas. The company is SOFTSWISS. During the hiring process, I was asked to complete onboarding documentation that included sensitive personal information. After submitting these documents, communication from the company became extremely poor and unresponsive regarding my start date and next steps. I understand delays can happen, but I find it very concerning and disrespectful when a company consumes a candidate’s time and effort, requests sensitive onboarding information, and then fails to communicate professionally afterward. Because of the lack of responsiveness following submission of my documents, I am now concerned about the legitimacy and handling of my information. My social security, bank routing info, and personal identifiable information was submitted for my "onboarding documents". After receiving my information they cut off communication and avoided any more engagement with me. This is highly suspicious and inappropriate. No communication with them has been successful ever since. Their HR person who reached out to me is named Anahit Gevorgyan. Their leader/onboarding manager is named ALEXEY CHEPKOV. He also took my personal information.

Online Purchase

On April 19th, I purchased a 19-piece pot and pan set from TikTok during a flash sale, which offered a one-time payment of $19.99 plus shipping and handling. I took a screenshot of the webpage showing the original price with a red slash through it and the flash sale price for my records. Immediately after completing my purchase, a pop-up message appeared, which I found concerning. I captured a screenshot for documentation. The message stated: “(Important) Your order is confirmed, but please read this. Due to an increasing number of fraudulent disputes and chargebacks without prior contact, we are enforcing the following policy: ANY DISPUTE, CHARGEBACK, OR CLAIM FILED WITH YOUR BANK OR PAYMENT PROVIDER WITHOUT FIRST CONTACTING OUR SUPPORT (in bold) WILL BE TREATED AS FRAUD AND MAY RESULT IN LEGAL ACTION, INCLUDING RECOVERY OF THE FULL AMOUNT AND DAMAGES (in bold red). If you have an issue with your order, contact our support team first (in bold). We will make it right.” They also provided their customer support email. They sent a confirmation email with a link to track my order; however, the link was non-functional. I inquired about the possibility of a recurring charge. They responded promptly with a working link, but they did not address the recurring charge issue. I requested clarification within 24 hours, which I believe is reasonable, but received no response. I sent two or three follow-up messages, reiterating my concerns and reminding them of their policy, but again received no reply. On May 25th, I received an email stating that a delivery attempt was made, but the recipient was not home. I responded by informing them that we had been home all day and that no delivery attempt had occurred. I requested the details of the delivery company to resolve the matter. They replied that this information would be provided in the delivery email, which it was not. I notified them of this discrepancy, but received no response. Today, at 6:06 a.m., I received another email stating that a delivery attempt was made and we were not home. I clarified that we had been present during the time of the supposed attempt, and no such attempt occurred. Given these circumstances, I do not believe I will receive my order or an acceptable resolution. In my opinion, this situation appears to be a scam.

This organization used the number 2122706000 to contact me. They were pretending to be my bank - the Caller ID had my Bank’s name which is why I initially trusted the call. They were claiming that there were unauthorized transaction attempts to an individual from California in the amounts of $2000 and $3000. They knew my name, city location and the bank I was using. They game me a Case Number and Transaction IDs. I had suspicions when they were telling me to use Zelle to -=Cancel=- the transactions. When the attempt did not work they later tried to have me use Apple Pay, which made even less sense. I didn’t get any emails or texts from my bank. I opted to call them myself and said I was going to call them back. When I asked them to confirm their phone number, they disconnected the call. They were trying to use the number 8452705648 for the Zelle Transaction. I contacted my bank, they said there were no unauthorized transactions or phone calls made.

The scam is, It's an offer on the social media that states, make money answering questions to help AI advance in human responses. They tell you that there are no right answers, all you are doing is making human decisions to help AI things like, autonomous vehicles, Meta AI, Google AI, Tesla and others. Well, I noticed the monetary benefit for each question was getting less and less. Starting the program, questions were up to 12$ a question, down to maybe 6$ a question. As time went on, I am 90 days in and the $ amount is at $1.75 to 3-4$. My average has dropped and the questions got longer and more time consuming. Also, one has to reach a 20k mark to cash out. They stated they do this for tax reasons. So, yes its a scam. I contacted Tesla, Google and they stated they do not use any service of the sort and it is more than likely a scam. Also, the last email I sent, [email protected], was sent back stating, Mailer Demon and email address no loner exists. It's a good scam, I'm over 11k in just under 90 days, but I'm wasting my time.

Phishing

The person behind this phone number +14504996321 is impersonating a lawyer from the legal business IMS Immigration Solution, who contacted me via social media after I had just interacted with some immigration profiles. Offered me legal assistance; however, the situation was so confusing that I decided to contact the legal business directly (IMS Immigration Solution). They clarified to me that this person named "Norma Sanchez" does not belong to that company, which means that this was a total fraud.

Online Purchase - Sunny las

About the shampoo and when I received it a month and a half later, it was a sample I have been texting the people that sent it and they want the item back, but I have to pay $20 for shipping and handling. I tried canceling it when I ordered because it was ordered I had to wait for it a month and a half later I was gonna refuse the mail, but they told me to receive it and then they will work with me to return it because I received it now I have to pay for the return which I told him I wasn’t gonna do that. They want me to keep it. They give me 40% of what I paid and call it good but I’m tired of these scams that I fall for every time in this person is making it difficult to get my refund back they could have the shampoo back, but I am not paying for shipping and handling. I should’ve just refused the item. Nobody should be scammed and these people are running one big scam.

Employment - Aetna Forwarding

I applied for a job on LinkedIn for Aetna Forwarding Call Representative Assistance. The job was posted for Medical, Part Time Remote. I received an email about four days after applying on LinkedIn with my Resume and answering a few basic questions. The email was basic giving me times and dates to schedule an interview via zoom. I replied back gave which times worked and I was supposed to join a zoom link. It seemed weird to me with how basic the emails were. I tried to look the company up on LinkedIn to educate myself before the interview and couldn’t find the job posting. I then used Geimi AI and requested assistance and that’s when it was confirmed to be a scam. I called Aetna Forwarding and was told by the person who answered that they have received multiple calls for an interview with the same recruiter Olivia. I’m glad I called and it’s really sad LinkedIn doesn’t do a better job at minimizing the possible scam risk. Who knows what wound of happened if I clicked on that link. It’s quite disappointing and I’m not sure that I’ll continue using LinkedIn after this. It’s 2026, a company as such should have deep dive tools to catch scammers before the clients (like myself) get in trouble financially.
