Phishing - Debt Collection

The message always says the same thing." My name is Mrs. Clark with payment processing. The reason for my calls today is to verify the address we have on file, as we are preparing to file documentation on your case, our department has made several attempts to get in contact with you via mail and also phone calls, both of which were unsuccessful, our client has flagged you as evasive and noncompliant. In order to avoid further penalty, please contact us immediately at 409-761-7631. They stated this was for a Check N Go account that was never paid. Check N Go has been out of VA since 2011-2012 I believe. They stated that the loan was taken out in 2015 which is impossible. This debt was added into my bankruptcy. I received a call 2 days prior from a company named Bridgeway inquiring about the same debt and trying to collect on it as well. I asked if they were affiliated with them and "Ryan" stated they were not. I asked for him to send me a debt validation letter and he responded that they have sent several and also tried to call several times and they last spoke to me in February which they did not. I told him that I was not accepting this debt as another company was trying to collect as well. He then got angry and stated that they would send this back to the client for them to take the next steps in the county that I am currently in. I told him to do what he needs to do and have a good day.

Employment - EcoPlus Power / impostor

I was asked to interview for a job that I applied to on Indeed for a renewable energy electric company by the name of EcoPlus Power. In the email, it said to contact an individual by the name of Mr. Dominic through a Signal number. I researched the company and it appeared to be legitimate even though I had doubts. Upon speaking with this individual on Signal, whose full name was Dominic D Lillie and used [email protected] as email, he told me they provided the equipment necessary for the role. The role was a $23 an hour for training very complex customer service and administrative assistant position and after training the pay rate would increase to $28. I found it odd he was messaging me late at night and then he asked for ID for verification and background check. In which we did a search and found this to be a bait and switch phishing scam.

Phishing - Ozzy Osbourne - Impostor

I was originally contacted on Facebook, after commenting on a picture of Ozzy Osbourne with his dogs, complimenting it. He, or at least someone claiming to be him, then responded to my comment, asking me to continue communications via Telegram, so I agreed. We corresponded there for a while, and I was encouraged that the label on his Telegram address said "Official." Things remained amiable for a while, until he started petitioning me for money, claiming that I needed to send 2K-3.5K for a VIP membership card, so we could meet in person. However, I couldn't afford that much all at once, and, therefore, refused. Gradually, communications slowed down, until we ceased correspondence altogether. I had reason to believe there was a possibility that it could have really been him, since his Telegram address was: "Ozzy Osbourne Official," but I could never be 100% positive. Approximately two weeks later, I received a message from someone claiming to be him, though his Telegram address no longer contained "Official" in its title, which did concern me, and which I did address when I (somewhat reluctantly) agreed to continue communications, which, of course, turned out to be a huge mistake! He claimed the lack of "Official" in his Telegram address was because he had to change it, due to unwanted and unauthorized contacts/communications. He explained it away, claiming there was no other way he'd "know me so well," or be able to "pick up where we'd left off." I was wary, but, unfortunately, I agreed to continue correspondence. Bit by bit, by assuring me we'd eventually meet, and would use the funds I sent him to this end, he gradually scammed over 5K out of me, which was more than the original 3K for the VIP card, requested initially from the original "official" address! I have reason to believe that he merely intercepted the previous conversation of the "official" Telegram correspondences somehow, yet I now think he wasn't ever the same person. I think I just wanted to believe it was legitimate, so I continued with him for several months, which was obviously not wise! I feel naive and cheated, and I realize there's probably no way to get accountability in this case, with the exception of one piece of information: his EMAIL address, which he morbidly and disrespectfully continued using AFTER Ozzy's passing! I know this, because he gave himself away shortly after Ozzy was deceased (7/26/2025), by contacting me again... perhaps he missed all the news reporting it... I wasn't sure, but I was greatly relieved to be finished with this sham of a scam once and for all! On a final additional note, I was unable to bypass the phone number requirement for reporting this on the BBB site (here), though I honestly tried to put n/a (not applicable). Since his area code would be 020 (with an additional number, not permitted to be entered), if he were really from London, UK, like Ozzy, himself, as he'd claimed, which he more than likely also fabricated, so I used 202 for the area code, which is the closest I could get and still be able to report it. Since I couldn't bypass this impass, which was required for reporting the scam, I am reporting that it's NOT a valid phone number, that I've entered here, but I'm hoping that his email address, for which he used his name, and was still using even after Ozzy's passing, is enough to hold him accountable. I told him it was morbid, immoral, and possibly even criminal! I'm hoping it's enough to STOP him from scamming anyone else!
