Phishing

Played an AI recording to sound like a real person (included ums and human-like pausing and said "I'm not trying to sell you something, it only takes 30 seconds"), trying to say I would get money if I looked over my medicaid options. Specifically asked if I was over 65 so it seems like an old person medicaid scam. I've gotten calls from this number 6 times over the past three days.

It is always a robocalled with a message and ID number to call Kirkland Myers. The messages are never complete, and they are never made by an actual person. I have never received any written correspondence that would identify any owed debt. I have no derogatory marks or accounts in collections on my credit report which is monitored regularly by me.

I saw an ad via Instagram regarding Rent to Own homes. I filled out a form to be contacted with information. They reached out via Text Messaging and asked me a few questions regarding what I was looking for, home wise. I was sent a link for an application of sort, and provided my SS #, DOB, Annual Income, etc. My son also filled out this application to act as a Co-Applicant. They advised that I'd speak with a Payment Specialist on Tuesday August 4th at 10a. Day of the 4th, I received text message confirming appointment, even minutes leading up to 10a. I received no call and when I attempted to call the number that was provided to me, every option I pressed on the automated line, hung the call up. Something did not feel right so I sent a text requesting my application be removed and any information I provided.

Ordered an item from Whatfad.com from advertising on Pinterest.com. I asked via email a question about the item (a small planter), before I ordered and received answer about the item 2 days later. The website is very well structured to look legit and even advertised ordering through shop.com.. I will be notifying them as well of this incident. Once I ordered, I never received a confirmation email or tracking number but my debit card was charged for the amount + what I thought must be very little tax. No shipping charge added. A week went by so I contacted again about the order and item confirmation., delivery tracking.. never heard a word. It was only when I sent them an email letting them know I would report them as fraudulent site they responded that my item has shipped.. and I should be patient. Still no order number or proof of shipping. I sent them another email asking for order number and shipping to confirm they are legit. Never have heard back. They are fraud and operating as legit online. I ate the cost of the item I thought I was ordering. DO NOT ORDER anything from WantFad.com. They are a FRAUD website. I usually check out thoroughly websites that are suspicious. This website was so legit.. I was fooled. Never received the item nor any information.

Advance Fee Loan - advance fee loan

I wanted to bring to your attention an ongoing issue that I have been experiencing. For the past six months or more, I have been receiving an excessive number of unsolicited "hardship loan" calls, averaging between two and five calls per day. Initially, I was unsure whether these calls were legitimate, but after researching the companies and offers being presented, I discovered that they are part of a scam operation. Despite blocking the numbers as they come in, the callers continue to contact me using robocalling technology and frequently change their phone numbers, making it difficult to effectively stop the calls. The volume and persistence of these calls have become disruptive, and the constant number changes make traditional call blocking largely ineffective. I wanted to document this issue and seek any guidance or assistance that may be available to help reduce or prevent these fraudulent calls. Thank you for your time and assistance.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I received this email and thought it was the state of VA. I had already sent our form in but thought something has gone wrong, that perhaps it was lost. By the time I realized what was happening it was too late. I emailed the company to say they I had mistakenly paid and asked for a refund. I called my bank to dispute the transaction once I saw the other online reviews/warnings about this scam. The company will not refund the money. They did file the paperwork, allegedly but the form they sent “from the state” could easily be forged/faked. In any case, these people use scare tactics and charge $100 to file a $25 form, that I had already sent in. We are a small nonprofit and this company took advantage of us. They are now threatening me with collection agencies. The deadline to file the Annual Registration for LAST ROOM is approaching. Missing the deadline will result in your business being fined and administratively dissolved.
