Multiple calls from with AI generated voice left in voicemail saying my application for a loan was almost complete - they needed some income information. I never initiated a loan application and I did not respond to these calls nor supply information.

I was approached at my home by an individual offering driveway services.. He stated that they were working in the area and could provide professional driveway installation while we were completing other property upgrades. The contractor who introduced himself as "Ed" who claimed to be the owner of the company, represented that: A laser would be used to properly grade and pitch the property for correct water drainage. 6.5 inches gravel/ item 4 would be installed and fully compacted. three inches of asphalt would be installed and properly compacted. Belgium blocks would be carefully removed and reinstalled with a cement footer for stability and level finish, including aliment with neighbor's driveway. The completed driveway would have a perfect pitch, proper aesthetics, and meet professional standards. Once the work began, none of these promises were fulfilled: No laser or proper grading equipment was used. Driveway was not pitched correctly; asphalt was laid up to the garage door, creating drainage concerns. The gravel base was not installed with thicknesses as stated. Belgium blocks were installed without a footer, misaligned, uneven, and inconsistent in height and appearance. Workers used my materials(wood, sand, cones. Workers entered my garage without permission. As a result a classic 1993 Mercedes belonging to my son was scratched during the work. After pointing out these deficiencies, the contractor stated that he "did his best" and still demanded full payment. When I refused, citing the defective and incomplete work, I was intimidated and threatened that he would "come and tear up the driveway" I just wanted what was contracted and I had no objection to them removing their work, but instead, the harassment continued. Additionally, there was confusion over who actually owned the company. First, one individual claimed to be the owner, then another arrived claiming ownership. This "good guy/bad guy" tactic appeared to be an attempt to pressure and confuse me into paying for substandard work. Turned out to be brothers. I believe this operation is deceptive in nature, possibly fraudulent designed to pressure homeowners into on-the-spot contracts and payments for work that is neither properly performed nor professionally warranted.

https://passport.uspassportandvisa.org is pretending to be an official government website, intentionally misleading people and charging for services that are free. They ask for SSN and credit card info. Who is running this website? It shows up in the first item when you search how to renew a passport. It is not official. They need to be shutdown.

Erroneous claim for a renewed “Elite Security + Device Support” for 12 months for 7 devices which includes Malware, Tech Support, System Optimization,& Firewall monitoring. Gave an invoice number & amount that will be charged via the “Auto-debit from Registered Card”. This is to make you think they have a debit or credit card on file. There is also the warning to contact them if we “did not authorize this or wish to cancel and request a refund”. But it HAS to be “within 48 hours or it becomes activated and non-refundable”. Makes it sound so legit and make you act immediately because who wants to wait and have them claim you’re too late, right??? Horrible way to make a living. How do these people sleep at night?

They mailed me a letter saying someone tried using my info and was denied. Asked to call the number listed if I wanted more information and advertised credit protection agencies. I already had freeze on my credit previously to prevent similar situations, but I checked the Chase fraud number prior to calling and they did not line up with her #

I spotted a tidy 1954 Chevrolet Bel Air with fresh chrome and period hubcaps, priced like a quick sale. The seller promised overnight paperwork and a couriered title once funds cleared. They pushed crypto because “banks were slow this week.” I paid in digital currency and received a PDF bill of sale that referenced an address which didn’t exist on any map. The shipper name was real, but the booking number wasn’t. Every breadcrumb led to nothing, and I learned the hard way how easily a believable story can empty your account. 

Reporting cryptocurrency complaints and scams

If you believe you have been a victim of a cryptocurrency scam or fraud, here's how you can file a complaint and seek assistance:

1. Stop communication and transactions
Immediately stop sending any money or cryptocurrency to the suspected criminals. Do not notify the suspected criminals of any reports made to law enforcement, as this may compromise their ability to investigate. 

2. File a report with relevant agencies; FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3): This is a key resource for reporting cryptocurrency investment fraud and other cyber-enabled crimes. You can file a report at ic3.gov. Federal Trade Commission (FTC): Report cryptocurrency scams to the FTC at ReportFraud.ftc.gov. Commodity Futures Trading Commission (CFTC): File a complaint with the CFTC at CFTC.gov/complaint. U.S. Securities and Exchange Commission (SEC): You can submit a tip or complaint to the SEC at sec.gov/tcr. Local Law Enforcement: Report the crime to your local police department, including details like your wallet address, the scammer's wallet address, and transaction hashes. Cryptocurrency Exchange: Contact the cryptocurrency exchange you used to send the money and report the fraudulent transaction.

3. Provide comprehensive information: When filing reports, include as much information as possible, including: Scammer Details: How they contacted you, identifying information (name, phone, address, email, usernames). Transaction Information: Dates, amounts, types of cryptocurrency involved, account numbers (including cryptocurrency wallet addresses), receiving financial institution details, and receiving cryptocurrency addresses. Transaction IDs (hash): These are important for tracking cryptocurrency transactions. 

4. Be cautious of recovery services: Be extremely wary of any service claiming to recover lost cryptocurrency, especially those that demand an upfront fee, as these are often scams themselves. 
Common cryptocurrency complaints and scams: Some common types of cryptocurrency complaints and scams include: Imposter Scams: Scammers impersonate legitimate businesses or individuals to gain access to your accounts or information. Investment Scams: These often promise high returns with low risk and rely on funds from new investors to pay earlier investors. These include "pig butchering" scams, where scammers build relationships with victims and then lure them into fake investments. Phishing Scams: Scammers use fake emails, websites, or messages to trick you into revealing sensitive information like private keys or passwords. Pump and Dump Schemes: Artificially inflating the price of a cryptocurrency and then selling off the holdings, causing the price to crash.
Fake ICOs and Exchanges: Bogus Initial Coin Offerings (ICOs) and platforms that mimic legitimate ones to steal funds. Liquidity Mining/Yield Farming Scams: Fraudulent investment opportunities promoted through private messaging platforms. Giveaway/Airdrop Scams: Impersonating public figures or companies offering free crypto, often using social media or websites. Romance Scams: Scammers develop relationships with victims through dating apps or social media and then introduce them to fraudulent investment opportunities. 

Additional considerations: Cryptocurrency transactions are generally not reversible, making it difficult to recover funds once they are sent.
Government agencies like the FDIC do not insure cryptocurrency accounts. Always exercise caution, research thoroughly before investing, and be suspicious of anyone guaranteeing high or quick returns.
If you are 60 or older, you can contact the National Elder Fraud Hotline (833-372-8311) for assistance with filing an IC3 complaint. 

I chased a dream listing for a 1965 Ford Mustang—clean paint, tidy engine bay, “garage kept.” The seller said the car sat in storage and couldn’t be shown, but inspection photos would follow. The VIN looked plausible until a decoder spit back mismatched trim details. A “shipping coordinator” promised pickup as soon as funds hit. I initiated a bank wire transfer after being told card payments weren’t possible. All I got afterward were recycled emails and a tracking link that never populated. Days of promises turned into silence, and I was left with an empty account and no Mustang.

Order was placed 6/1/25, tracking showed it being delivered but i never received it. Contacted customer service they reissued another order. Now its 8/1/25 and tracking shows the saw being delivered. No saw was delivered. This is track17 app, they must be in on the scam too.

I was misrouted to this phone number thinking it was Duke Energy. The person speaking repeatedly told me I had the correct phone number for Duke Energy and he was going to help me set up my electrical services. He collected my personal information including email, phone #, SS# and Drivers license #. He wanted a substantial deposit $375 and was very pushy with a sales pitch stating if I also signed up for the alarm system for the home they would cover the deposit. Upon continued questioning if this was Duke Energy the rep continued to say yes and did not identify that they were a separate company. He then transferred me to another "supervisor" who also claimed this was Duke Energy and continued to be pushy to the sale of the alarm system. I did not proceed giving them any financial information. I was able to sign up on line at Duke Energy official website for $0 deposit. This company is not truthful and it is concerning what they will do with my personal information.

They texted me a job offer and asked me to reply “yes” for more info

Deceptive marketing, hidden contracts, failure to deliver on service promises

I have gotten upwards of 100 phone calls and messages from multiple numbers telling me that one of our finance team members needs to call 833-727-6090 because we’ve been chosen for approval for something. When I call and asked to be taken off of the list it says that I will be taken off, but I’ve continued to get calls from this number from multiple numbers every day, all day. It sounds like a real person if I answer and when I call back.

Scammer started off by advertising an Air B&B online assistant hourly remote job, but when I was contacted through what’s app it wasn’t at all that job. It was actually uploading reviews for cars for commission which was limited to 33 generated cars a day. If you get into the negative they want you to use your own money to get out of the negative to continue to generate the rest of your reviews before they will pay you a $200 salary plus your measly little commission a day and they pay with crypto. So since I’m trying to earn money because I’m broke, I could and wouldn’t use my own money to get out of the negative. So basically that was the end of that. I paid them $20 through cashapp which did come up scam but was told that that’s how cashapp is. So these people are ripping people off that like me can’t even afford to live in this damn state and will be homeless soon. It was definitely too good to be true.

Remote job offer.

Kulani Kini ad on Instagram brought me to a website where they were having a bathing suit sale. I bought some bathing suits, and they were never delivered. I tried contacting the company and had no luck. I believe it was a scammer imitating the real Kulani Kini brand.

we bought something that was not as the pictures made it look. it looks 3D  in the picture but it was just a flat plastic piece of a printed bird, not at all what we thought we were getting. when we tried to return it, it would cost us more then the object was worth because it would need to be sent to china.  when we wrote support they said they could send us $8 instead of the full amount

Seems like a legit site. Promoted by Google. After preorder product not shipped the link to track is no longer valid. Searching the company brings up multiple other scam complaints.

Text message job offer, too good to be true, so researched and realized it is a scam.

they advertise a beautiful wood production which has both names of the couple on it. the picture of the product was a solid wood carving of a couple and the base was also part of it. All varnish very nice. What you get was a cheap plastic production, in which you can't even read the names and you slip into a unfinish wood base. If you contact the company they won't respond back. but the website tells you, that you can return the product. It is all a scam.

Ad promised app, personalized system with tracking of progress. None of that was provided. Website only All info generic and same for all No progress tracker.

I was presented with a facebook ad from a clothing company Faherty. I went to the site and purchased items, then needed to use paypal to pay. I then realized after the payment was processed that it was a false site and not the true brand.
