Debt Collections - Franklin & Miller

I got a voice mail from a person who identified themselves as calling from Franklin and Miller and that I am being sued in civil court for the sum of $2000 and that I am to call their office at 888--834-3981 to prevent wage garnishment and or a lien on my car. I was given a number starting with a C---------,, they went on to say that the claim has not been filed yet and someone will be showing up at my door with court paperwork. I called and gave my last name only and the person on the phone claimed to be an attorney and was very angry and short when I asked what is this about....I stated that it was a scam and that they should not contact me again..... the person got more angry...... I looked up my info for any civil suits filed and there were none. Essentially they are trying to scam people out of money by using scare tactics of court and or someone coming to your address.

Counterfeit Product - Online Purchase

Ordered clothes from an online store when you look at the website, the store says it has a physical leak location in New York City. That’s the only reason I was ordering, but I started getting tracking information from China. I never planned to order anything from China. Never wanted anything from China. The description of the item was a leather jacket when I got it. It was cloth instead. So now I’m stuck with a jacket that’s too small and they won’t refund me my money and it’s not even the right material so I know it’s not a lot of money and I know you probably got better things to do, but it’s just the principal it’s misleading because I would’ve if I thought it was from China I would’ve never purchased the item. It said it had a address here in the US.

I was selling a TV on Facebook Marketplace & someone claimed they knew someone that wanted it. They claimed they wanted to use Zelle & said that their payment to me was on a hold due to low usage on my end & to call the number in the confirmation text sent to me. They then told me to facetime/screenshare them & open my cashapp & my bank app to "verify" that I had funds. Then they told me to go to my cashapp & put in $19.99. I then stopped & realized they were trying to get me to send them money & I hung up. These are the numbers that the scammers contacted me from +1 (606) 854-1254 & the other one is +1 (954) 830-7975. Hopefully people will be careful because these scammers are getting very crafty.

On September 29, 2026, I sent $214.97 through Cash App to Destiny Stargell / $DDesssoo after being deceived by individuals posing as a legitimate online merchant. I placed Order #1196 through a website representing itself as Flying Horse Official/Flying Horse Carts. I received an order confirmation showing a total of $214.97, including express next-day shipping. A representative then instructed me to send payment through Cash App to $DDesssoo. I sent the payment because I believed I was paying a legitimate business for merchandise I had ordered. After payment, the representative confirmed receipt and told me the order would be shipped. I was later provided tracking information. Afterward, a company calling itself Global Cargo Xpress contacted me claiming my package was “on hold” and demanded another $210 for three $70 “Discreet Release Stamps.” They requested payment through Bitcoin or Apple Pay and claimed most of the fee would later be refunded. At that point, it became clear I had been scammed. I never received the merchandise or legitimate delivery I paid for. I reported this to Cash App and provided screenshots showing the order confirmation, payment instructions, completed $214.97 transaction, confirmation of receipt, tracking information, and the later $210 demand. Cash App still denied my refund. I am not claiming the transaction was unauthorized. I personally sent it, but only because I was intentionally deceived into believing I was paying a legitimate merchant. Desired Resolution: I am requesting a refund of $214.97, a manual fraud review of the recipient account, and a written explanation if Cash App continues to deny recovery.

I received a scam that had led to taking over a pc of my neighbor. We were able to stop the PC takeover. But we do need to report to you this matter. It was a textbook PayPal Bitcoin Invoice Scam, also known as a Refund Scam. The entire purpose of this document is to create panic over a large unauthorized charge (such as a fake Bitcoin or crypto purchase) so the victim feels rushed into calling the fraudulent support phone number listed.

Debt Collections - Jonathan Graves

I've missed several calls from someone named Jonathan Graves. When listening to the voicemail message, "Jonathan" is obviously AI. He doesn't state what company he is calling from just that it is important that he speak with me as soon as possible concerning a time sensitive matter. And that I should call him back on the number listed on the caller ID. When I called the number a woman answered and she confirmed my name and she told me the last 4 digits of my SSN. She did not say what company she was calling from, just that I owed a debt of $6k and there would be a lien on my account if I don't settle this debt with her immediately. When I told her I put the phone number and the name "Jonathan Graves" into a search engine and that it popped up with a Scammer Alert. The woman on the phone ended the call by telling me that she hoped I have a nice day.

Ordered a baby wrap/sling through their website and received a product that was NOT anything like the product advertised. You can’t even use it as a baby wrap and the fabric isn’t the same either. The product advertised was supposed to be made with the following (quoted from the website): “TENCEL™ Lyocell for its smooth, breathable feel GOTS Certified Organic Cotton for purity and comfort A touch of Lycra for gentle, womb-like stretch” Instead I received a cheap fleece-like material that looks and feels like something you would get off of Temu for less than $5. When I asked for a refund, they told me I would have to either pay international shipping fees of $20+, even though they claim to be a U.S. based business, OR they could issue a 20% refund which would only return $11 of the $55 I spent for the item, meaning they are still profiting off of selling counterfeit, falsely advertised products.

Employment - Velomatrix Group

My son was contacted regarding what appeared to be a legitimate employment opportunity with VeloMatrix Group in its “Shipping Department.” As part of the purported hiring/onboarding process, Ashton provided the company with personal identifying information, including his full name, email address, date of birth, home address, emergency contact information, and a photograph of his driver's license. VeloMatrix Group subsequently instructed him to create an account through an online employee dashboard at velomatrix-dash.com. The company informed him that shipments would begin arriving at his home within approximately 3–4 business days and instructed him to check the dashboard regularly for updates and instructions. A package was subsequently delivered to him by UPS 2nd Day Air. The package contained what appeared to be a one-ounce Credit Suisse gold bar along with an invoice bearing the name and branding of APMEX, Inc. The invoice represented the gold bar as having a value of $4,611.00, with a total amount of $4,630.95, and stated that payment had been made by credit card. After becoming suspicious of the employment arrangement, we instructed him to stop accessing the VeloMatrix dashboard and cease communication with the company. He has not forwarded the package or its contents to anyone. On September 29, 2026, I contacted APMEX directly and spoke with its Fraud Department. The APMEX representative informed me that the company is aware of an ongoing scam in which its company name is being used. I was advised that the purported gold bar we received is fake and was instructed to report the incident to our local police department and provide law enforcement with the package and its contents. We are therefore voluntarily providing the package, purported gold bar, invoice, shipping materials, and available documentation to law enforcement. We are concerned that his personal identifying information, including the photograph of his driver's license, may have been obtained and/or used as part of this fraudulent scheme.
