Florence Mcclure sent an email asking for private lessons for disc golf for three of her children. Offered $500 for two months worth of lessons three times a week. Said she was out of state and that her children would have a driver take them to and from the lessons. Said the driver could not accept the money and she would give me the drivers payment for me to give to driver. In total she was going to send me a check for $900, with $400 going to the driver. I stopped speaking after this request.

In October 2023 an alert appeared on screen to call Microsoft and I called the number. They said they were a vendor for Microsoft and I spoke to Robert Harris said it would $125.00 a month for 3 years to for security protection by check. The check was made out to Terry Jefferies. The computer they supposedly provided the security protection failed because clearly now it was not legitimate. That computer fried. Now in October 2026 Robert Harris and a lady named Christine calls, says he will bill my checking account for $6800.00 unless I cancel service. If I cancel it will be $2300 and to send a check to a PO box in Washington state. They would not provide me with the service agreement or anything related. Gave me a [email protected] as their company email. The company is registered under Alvin Lerome Jenkins in California.

Employment - Healthium Medtech Limited impostor
I received an unsolicited job interview invitation for a remote Chat Support Agent position claiming to represent Healthium Medtech Limited. The email offered an unusually high pay rate of $35.75–$55.75 per hour and instructed me to contact an interview manager named Clay Davis through a Microsoft Teams invite link rather than scheduling through an official company recruiting channel. I am concerned this may be a job scam involving the unauthorized use of a legitimate company's name to mislead job seekers. I am reporting this incident so it can be investigated and other job seekers can be warned.

Home Improvement - Vinny Capp
Vinny Capp is advertising as a handyman in the Vernon CT area (real name is Vinny Cappuccino) as he had me make the check out to and he deposited it into his account same day. Be aware of this supposed ‘handyman’ as his tactics are to bait and switch you by telling you what you want to hear that you don’t need what you called him for and instead switches to doing something else that’s less expensive. Initially I did think he knew what he was talking about but next day realized his work is inferior and he had also told me he guarantees his work when we first spoke on phone but he now refuses to respond to me after payment. And found out after payment (too late, my mistake, I’m a senior and got taken) thru the CT Consumer protection that he is not licensed, registered or insured. He also has an instagram page stating he is insured but is not. I requested my money back from him due to him not showing back up for our return visit that we scheduled to address issues as next day saw flaws with his work but he now refuses to respond to me at all. Also left a complaint on Vinny Capp or real name Vinny Cappuccino with the CT Consumer Protection Agency.
You’ve been warned, beware and make sure any contractor you contact is registered, licensed and insured if not do not hire or have them over to your residence.

I was looking to buy a puppy online. The agent initially was very helpful and assured me that I could get my money back at any point during the adoption process. I told her that I wanted to meet the dog before deciding to buy and we made an appointment to see the dog. After I put down a deposit for a dog meet-and-greet, suddenly the story changed. The agent then canceled the appointment, said I misunderstood the agreement, announced she had moved out of state, never refunded my money, and I never hear from them again.

On 10-08-2025, I called whom I THOUGHT was Expedia. Somehow Richflights "took over" the call. I did not call Richflights, I called Expedia. I spoke to Michelle -this is the # she provided, 301-835-0507. Was attempting to book 2 plane tickets to Las Vegas, she came back with $750 a ticket, we discussed that amount was too high, had never paid that previously. She then said let me charge the card $3900, to get a better discount rate & then I can process a refund for $3900. She attempted to process the $3900 on my AAdvantage Red Mastercard, that was declined, so I gave her my Synchrony Mastercard which she processed $3600 + ($300) She then sent an email regarding refund, and then somehow did process 2 flights thru Southwest Airlines thru Expedia on my AAdvantage Mastercard at $344.96 each.
Richflights Reference #82710428T566FDAZE, listed as Richflights 301-835-01 Oro Valley Az on my Synchrony statement for 10-2025.
Per their email dated 10-08-2025, a refund was to be issued, it never was.
I have filed multiple complaints, fraud to Synchrony, they have all been denied.
I will also be making a complaint with the Federal Trade Commison.
I had to pay that Synchrony charge of $3600, is what they actually charged. I thought I was dealing with Expedia, but found out after not getting refund and speaking to Expedia, that this was a scam, I had been frauded.

In November 2025 I booked Sip of Eden, a mobile bartending business based in the Detroit, Michigan area, to bartend my September 2026 wedding in Michigan. The owner sent a professional-looking contract and client intake form, offered a “Black Friday sale” discount, and required payment in full by Zelle, Apple Pay, or Cash App only. I paid $550 by Zelle. The business had many positive reviews and was listed on The Knot and recommended in Michigan wedding Facebook groups.
For the next nine months everything seemed legitimate. The owner answered texts and calls, discussed the drink menu and guest count, and helped build a shopping list for the alcohol as recently as two days before the event.
At about 8:15 a.m. on the morning of the wedding, she texted that she and her sister had been in a car accident the night before, were in the hospital, and would not be released in time, and that she was looking for another bartender to cover. She promised several times to call “in about 20 minutes” to work out logistics. The call never came, she stopped responding to my coordinator’s texts by late morning, and no replacement was ever sent.
Eight days later I sent a written refund request citing the contract’s own clause, which says the client gets a full refund if the bartender cannot perform and no replacement is available. She asked which payment app I had used, I sent the confirmation, and then nothing. Four days after that, I received a form “cease and desist” letter from the business’s phone number, signed only “Authorized Representative of Sip of Eden,” demanding that I delete posts about my experience from a Michigan brides’ group and threatening a defamation lawsuit.
In late September 2026, WDIV, FOX 2 Detroit, and CBS Detroit all reported that nearly 100 couples in Michigan, Ohio, and other states describe the same pattern: a same-day cancellation by text with varying excuses (car accident, emergency surgery, death in the family), no replacement, no refund, and being blocked or threatened after asking for their money back. The business’s phone number has since been disconnected, and an Ohio company announced it had “purchased” Sip of Eden around September 21, 2026. Affected customers estimate combined losses above $65,000.
Warning signs in hindsight: payment accepted only through peer-to-peer apps with no chargeback protection, a contract with a blank “[State]” governing-law clause, and a vendor who stays responsive right up until the day of the event. If you booked this business, check the Michigan wedding Facebook groups for the customer group that has formed, keep screenshots of every message, and file complaints with the Michigan Attorney General and your own state’s Attorney General.

They’ve threatened to file a police report on me for their so called job contract, but I can’t verify their business so I know that void’s any legitimacy they have to make it my obligation to do whatever illegitimate job they’re making me do. I believe I’d be held liable if I helped them with their illegitimate business practice of reshipping and relabeling packages from items bought with fraudulent use of victim’s identities and luckily I never have and never will. Ive refused all packages that aren’t verified to be something I bought myself or acquired for the purpose of replacing my debit cards that have currently been used fraudulently as a result of my information being exposed. Also, after checking the 3 credit bureaus, it’s been confirmed that my information is now on the dark web, which is awful that they’ve been put there, it only happened when I gave my information to their so called job site. It was seen on October 12, which makes my suspicion of their company and their emails even more worst. I hope they get the justice they deserve because what they’re doing is wrong. I believe if someone do their so called “freight checking” they will use the same practices to another victim that falls for it. Hopefully they get put to justice and no more people fall for it again. So please keep safe and stay away from these guys, if they say their name is Aisha Jones 1-606-536-4995, or Reggie Rush 1-606-536-9047 or Destiny Davis 1-606-536-9016, DO NOT TRUST THEM!

Employment
Received an unsolicited email about interest in a remote data entry job for $30/hr, great benfits package. No personal interview, just sent a "test" with a time limit and about 10 questions. Was hired the next day. We switched over to Telegram for communications, they said we'd eventually switch to Teams. There was a seemingly legit onboarding portal and they said they'll send me a check/direct deposit for software liscening to me only and for my equipment. That's where I got suspicious.
All emails came from what looked to be a legit company site and they have a website, but upon researching, I couldn't find much information, no Glassdoor or other reviews.
Tried a scam site and it said their website was 6 months old.

I traded with them and decided to stop and take my profits . They told I had to pay a service fee which I did. They claim they did receive it. The I waited and tried again which they said they received and would unlock account so I could withdraw my funds. I am still waiting for that to happen. They claim it is controlled by computer. I am still waiting for access.

Identity Theft - Identity Theft - Rogers Communications *IMPOSTOR*
I received a phone call from a lady impersonating a rogers agent. She gave me her agent number and said they were running a loyalty promo and that i could upgrade my existing mobile phones and plans. The promo was a much better deal, she was even able to pull up my account and give me a comparison. She walked me through ordering the phones online through rogers website. She directed me to order 3 iphones, that due to warehouse back logs ordering the iphones would save the promo to my account and when the phones i wanted were instock, i would recieve confirmation of order shipment from fed ex.and walked me through exactly how to do it. ** (This is how they get you, because i was the one that placed the legitimate order with rogers, i am being held responsible.) I was told to check email for fed ex delivery notification. She said once the phones arrived to call number 343-512-9626 and a rogers agent would help activate the phones and apply promo to my account. I recieved an email from what i thought was rogers, it looked exactly like a rogers email with confirmation of the order i wanted. (When i brought all evidence into rogers store, the sales person right away pointed out that the email i received the confirmation from was not a rogers email. She told me rogers email addresses always start with an r. This is the scammers email: no-reply @mobileplanshelp.com, this is rogers email: [email protected]
Once the phones arrived via fed ex, i realized they were not the correct phones. I called the activation numberand the agent looked up my information and confirmed i had gotten the wrong order. He put me on hold to create a return in the system. I was then informed that there was an independent carrier in my area with and E.T.A. of 3 minutes, he told me to pack the phones in one box and seal it and gave me a description and licence plate of the independent carrier that would pick up my return. It was a black honda civic with licence plate DHPA 529. I was instructed to give carrier the return and check emails for return info and fed ex delivery info for my correct order. I was told rogers would apply a credit for 1 month payment to my account as apology. When i realized i had been scammed out of 3 brand new iphones and contacted rogers they said it was my responsibility to pay for the 3 phones even though i am the victim of a scam that rogers is well aware of happening to their customers. The sales associates at the rogers location i went to after i was scammed, said this has happened to a number of people and rogers won't do anything to help.
