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.

I received a phone call from Sam Saylor with Publishers Clearing House. He had an accent. he sid I won several million dollars, and a Mercedes Benz which would be delivered to my door. He said it will be just like what you see on TV. He said he would need to charge $1000 for NY taxes on it first. He asked how much I had. I said $400. He told me I could go to Dollar General or CVS and get an Amazon gift card. (I have never purchased any gift cards before, I didn't know how to do it.) I said I don't have a car until my husband comes home. He told me to walk. He was very slick, and desperate to get my money. I wanted to report it to help others.

Home Improvement - AK Masonry and Waterproofing

Contractor represented himself as licensed and insured and we accepted his quote for correction of a small leak in the area of our chimney. After beginning work he claimed to have found additional damaged areas which he offered to repair for additional fees. We paid a total of $14,200 mostly via Zelle with the exception of a personal check for $2500 at the beginning of the job. At supposed completion Richard left construction debris. Initially he made various excuses as to why he had failed to pick up the debris with promises that he would do this. He never did and eventually began to ignore our attempts to contact him. Following the first rainfall after job completion the formerly small leak worsened resulting in substantial damage to interior walls. Richard has not responded to numerous attempts to contact him.

The Scammer called my phone stating that he was with a 1st National Bank of Kentucky, and my Bank Account was flagged for "Fraudulent Activity". I advised the Scammer that I had never had a Bank Account with 1st National Bank of Kentucky. The Scammer then proceeded to tell me that he (Johnathan Edwards - Name provided) he wasn't sure why my name had come up in their data breach, however he would move forward with contacting all of the Bank Institutions that I currently Bank with and advise them of the data breach to make sure I stay protected from any further fraudulent activity. I then advised the Scammer that I would not be providing that information to him, and it sounded as though he was trying to run a fraud on me at that current moment, that's when the Scammer hung up the phone. I then called 1st National Bank of Kentucky to confirm that an account had not been opened in my name and spoke with Caleb, and he stated that I did not have an open or closed account with this banking institution. Then I came into this website to report the Scam.

Phishing - Urgent Care Online

For several months I have been getting phone calls daily 10 to 12+ times a day from Urgent Care Online. Many of these calls are within minutes sometimes seconds of each other. Most of the time it is a recording telling me to call the number provided if I want the best doctors in NY with no out of pocket expenses. Many times it was a woman with a clearly middle eastern accent (twice it was a man also with a definite middle eastern accent) who knows me by name without my giving that information to her. She claims she is calling on behalf of my doctor's office to see if I have any medical issues I need adressed. I have told her multiple times to take my name off of their call list. She appologizes and tells me I will not get called ever again. Then within a few minutes I receive another call but one of the recorded messages. Today after receiving 7 messages on my voicemail from them, I called the number and spoke to the man. I spoke to the same man a few days ago and again told him not to call anymore or I would call the BBB and/or the AG Office. I told him today that I wanted to be taken off their call list and that if I got another call I would report them. He appologized and said I would not be contacted again. Within a few minutes I got another call. I didn't answer it. They left a recording on my voicemail. The same one they have been leaving for months. A few minutes later the woman called and I answered and she said she was calling on behalf of my doctor's office. I stopped her and told her that I didn't want the calls to continue and she said she has never spoken to me. I told her she was lying because I recognized her voice. I threatened to report her and she tried to tell me they were a legitimate business. I hung up. Within a few minutes I got 3 more calls. I called them back and told her to stop. I said I wanted to speak to a supervisor and she said there is no supervisor. She apologized for the calls and could understand why I was upset. I told her she clearly doesn't understand because I had spoken to her personally. She denied again ever speaking to me. I again told her I would be reporting her and her "company" and hung up. About 10 minutes or so later I received another recorded message call. This has been going on for months. I have all (most) of the calls logged on my phone and the list just goes on and on. I have an AI assistant now that answers calls that are potential spam and I can read the transcript as the call is going on. This is just out of control. I have blocked the numbers multiple times and reported them as spam but they keep coming. I don't know what else to do because they just keep calling multiple times per day. I don't know if there is anything you can do or if you have any solutions for me but I seriously need help.

Online Purchase - Spyder

Purchase some items for my son on their website. I paid additional money for expedited two-day shipping. Never received any confirmation about tracking or shipment or any delays. I reached out to the company several times. They keep giving me the same response and ignoring my request for cancelation and refund. I have done this several times already. I am now in the process of reporting it on multiple avenues and also getting my money back through my bank. The entire process of their communication style is completely shady and unprofessional.
