Romance

A year ago I was involved with this online person who was head of the company. The project was building solar farms in Taiwan. He needed funds to pay for invoices of the tariffs and delivery of solar equipment being delivered to Taiwan. He was there to oversee the project. Flash forward a year. After trying to get money back throughout the year, this company supposedly put the entire $108k that was sent into a crypto account called NexStocktrades .com. They assured me I’d have access to my funds after I sent another $5400 to “unlock” the account. I wired the funds to a bank in Tennessee. Wire was flagged as fraudulent and I recalled my wire transfer. The IT team then asked for gift cards to be sent as payment. I refused. Now I’m out $113,400 total from this individual.

An ad on ***** offered personal organization & habit training with a trial. On the website, the 2-week trial was offered at $16.41. Next, additional "app" options were offered at various prices. There was no warning that clicking through would post additional charges. The "app" does have a web option, and crashes on my mobile device. I immediately cancelled the service, but their response was no refund could be given. This is a bait-and-switch scam.

Foreign Money Exchange - Foreign Money Exchange - Inheritance - Lantos George LLP

Received a letter in the mail from the scammer, purportedly an attorney from Ontario, Canada. The letter essentially states that their client, a deceased real estate investor and precious stone dealer, died from Covid-19 approximately 2 years ago with an unclaimed “Payable-On-Death” savings monetary deposit in the sum of $11.5 million dollars USD Apparently, no one has come forward to claim it and all efforts to locate relatives have proved unsuccessful. Additionally, policy laws stipulate that unclaimed “insured permanent policies” must be turned in to the abandoned property division of the state after 10 years. The call to action on the correspondence received asks the target to partner with the law firm in order to claim the benefits of the policy, 100% risk free, in view of the fact that the target and their client share the same last name and nationality with the deceased. This is followed by an offer to add the target‘s name to the policy, and that all proceeds would be processed on their behalf, with 10% going to charity, and the balance split between the law firm and the target. In short, the target is being asked for their consent to be added to an “insurance policy” by a law firm to substantiate a claim on their behalf as the beneficiary of the proceeds.

Employment - Clear barrel freight

I was contacted by a company claiming to be a shipping/logistics business that offered me a job handling packages. They sent packages to my address and instructed me to receive, inspect, and reship them. After becoming suspicious, I researched the company and found multiple reports online indicating it is a scam operation that uses stolen credit cards to purchase goods and has unsuspecting individuals forward the items. When I confronted them, they became aggressive and repeatedly called me asking for the package locations. I refused to provide any information and stopped communicating with them. I have since blocked their contact and reported the situation. This appears to be a “reshipping scam” where individuals are unknowingly used to move fraudulently purchased goods.

Romance - Romance Scam

My name is Bill Semovoski and I am from Smithfield, Virginia. I am a victim of an online pig butchering scam. This is not a violent crime, but it has had a tremendous impact on my mental, physical and emotional health. I've lost weight, my appetite and I don't sleep well. Additionally, I have lost all my retirement funds and live only on Social Security. I currently reside with my daughter and her family or else I would probably be living out of my car right now. And yes, I could go on and on how much it has affected me but I'm sure you can understand my ongoing experience with this matter. I got involved with an international online shopping store, AI SHOP or AI generated MALL with a UK address. Someone told me about it and I thought it would be an interesting way to supplement my Social Security and help my family. I applied on their website, ai.shopkoet.com, and was accepted on October 12, 2025.. I immediately set up over 13,000 items in my store and was open for business. The customer would purchase items in my store. I would pay for those items and be reimbursed after the customer paid and the orders processed. Probably a 4 to 5 day wait. Additionally, I would receive a profit between 20 and 25% on items sold. I would need working capital to make all this happen, but wasn't aware of how much at the time. I invested over $230,000 of my IRA, that was all of it. Additionally, I made personal loans and had friends invest in this with me, roughly another $200,000. At some point, I had to make a couple of loans from AI SHOP, the company, to move forward with working capital and keep my business going. I paid back their loans but was delinquent on the last one. Not aware until then, this caused them to close my shop. I sold over $1.2 million of goods and generated $252,000 in that period of time. After my store was closed, I was told that I needed to pay a $50,000 insurance premium in order to withdraw my funds. I did that on January 14, 2026 with help from family and friends. They stated that I would receive my funds in 1 to 3 business days. That didn't happen. I was then told that they attempted to wire all my funds to my bank, but the wire transfer failed due to an incorrect bank account routing number. They produced a form showing the "incorrect" information. I don't feel it was valid enough for this purpose. I have dealt with my bank for a while and definitely know my bank account routing number. I believe that the error was on their part but they failed to acknowledge it. I sent them updated information regarding my bank account routing number and b ank routing number for international wire transfers. They then said that this information would be corrected but I had to pay a $56,268.37 bank verification fee in order for them to do a wire transfer of my funds. I find this to be a ridiculous fee. Most banks waive this type of fee or charge a minimum amount. I believe that their bank may be Bank Rakyat Indonesia. I feel that they are taking advantage of me because my age and thinking that I won't do anything about it. I have sent them several suggestions on how to resolve this issue and for us to move forward. They failed to accept those suggestions and kept insisting that I pay the bank verification fee. I feel that this is elder abuse, elder fraud and definitely international fraud. I need help and direction in resolving this very serious issue and hopefully the return of my funds. I have contacted all necessary local, state and federal agencies regarding this matter. Some have responded while others didn't respond at all. The results have all been very disappointing. I look forward to your expedious response, possibly advising me what direction or how to pursue this matter. Thanks and regards, William M Semovoski [email protected] 901.489. 9117

He then gave options such as I could reformat myself or have his "specialist" do it.

At this point I stated I was not interested and that no recruiters as candidates for money up front. Then I filed this report.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Bestticketfare

This report was assisted by AI to ensure clarity, but every occurrence described is a factual account of my experience, which is fully documented by my call recordings. After I spotted an impossibly low fare on their site, a single transaction spiralled into a nightmare of bait-and-switch extortion where they attempted to process my payment in multiple sections. When my bank initially blocked the suspicious activity, an agent immediately called me, intentionally misinterpreted my refusal as consent, and forced the entire transaction through the credit card by manipulating the authorization. This high-pressure tactic turned an "unconfirmed" booking into a series of forced upgrades and hidden fees, leaving me with a ghost reservation and no way to refund the unauthorized charges despite my recorded attempts to stop the payment.

I ordered San Francisco 49er mugs that were advertised as "Yeti" mugs. I waited a while before they were sent and receive numerous emails saying they were delayed. I finally received the mugs and they were not Yeti as advertised but rather an inferior mug. I requested a refund, they responded saying “Our store manager originally placed the ad with “YETI” mugs, but that was a mistake, “You received the correct mugs, our mugs, and we sincerely apologized for the mistake and offered m a $5 credit. As of today, they have offered $10 and now $20 refund and I keep the non-yeti mugs. I demanded a full refund. Their response was to tell me I would have to pay return shipping (International) if I wanted a full refund. (Very expensive and they would not refund the shipping costs). I have been writing them many emails, and they seem to just say sorry we can’t do anything, but we did make the mistake of advertising Yeti mugs, a mistake by their store manager admitted. Here is my latest email that I send to [email protected] I am getting very frustrated by your continued refusal to refund my entire cost of the non-conforming product you sent me. And, you demand that if I want a total refund that I must pay the international postage for returning said non-conforming product. You admitted that your original product information that I purchased the product under was miss-leading and your store managers fault, and now you want me to take a $20 refund on a $70 mistake that was yours? This is totally unacceptable and does not make sense under any normal business practices. If I had done this in my business, I would have refunded the cost of the return, and/or just refunded the total cost of the items and told my customer to keep the inferior product. And then I would sincerely apologize for my error, but you refuse to be a reputable business and do that! I am a total loss as to why you think a $20 refund against the $70+ cost of the product would be even palatable to anyone? I will only accept a full refund of my entire payment as this entire situation is your fault, and you should pay to correct your mistake? How can you demand that I accept either of your options? And you not take accountability for anything and it was your error? I am at a loss that with these business practices that you can even stay in business?? I am now totally disappointed with your unacceptable requirements that I am taking further action. Not a threat a promise!

I am a salesperson for an independent auto dealership. As part of my marketing, I list vehicles on Facebook Marketplace. I was contacted by a person named Jackson Travis via messenger. As I usually do I gave him my phone number to text me any questions he might have on the vehicle. Via text, he asked for the vehicle's history report and I provided him with the Experian Auto Check report. He then said he had a bad experience with those types of reports and asked if I could get him a report from a company called Vehicles Path, this is their url: https://vehiclespath.com/. Please note, the URL does not appear with www at the beginning. I told him we do not use off-brand reports from unknown companies and he continued to insist, asking me to personally pay for it and promising to reimburse me when he bought the vehicle. At this point I knew something was not right. I looked at the website and found a lot of misspellings and incorrect industry terms. I also went on scam report websites and Reddit and found numerous instances of people reporting that they bought the report and their credit card information was stolen and their bank accounts emptied. I am an automotive professional so I spotted the danger pretty early. My concern is that in the scam reports and on Reddit, the majority of people reporting this site were not auto sales professionals, just regular folks listing their personal vehicles for sale. They more than likely would not have the experience and knowledge to stop this scam. The Facebook profile the person used was probably fake but I took a screenshot and can provide it if needed. It was established in 2025 and had marketplace listings that looked like real estate or rental listings which may be another scam the person is running. The Facebook profile url is: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581359007726. He spoke American English like a US native so that leads me to believe that this is not an overseas scam. I hope this is helpful and that you can find the person or people responsible.

Advance Fee Loan

They say they are working with loan companies that we are working with. But refused to give them my social security number without creditable information from them. Would not give me info but said the file will close in 60 seconds if we do not pull the soft credit check. Claimed that he would send me the company information but never did and I called him out on that and he said it will automatically send once the soft credit is pulled - what a load of crap! Should not be a problem for a legitimate company to give out their information.

Phishing

Called me in regards to my mother inquiring on “noncompliance”. I didn’t answer so they left a message that basically said they were looking for her and gave me her maiden name from 15+ years ago. I attempted to call the number back and no answer. I called back again and they stated that they sent a courier out to her location at 9:36 AM and that she was unable to be located. I advised I didn’t appreciate the calls about my mom’s personal business. The scammer asked if I was “insert first name with my maiden name”. I advised that was no longer my name. He asked if I was still in contact with my mother, I advised no. And asked who they were with. He stated they were with Document Services and that they will send the sheriff out today prior to 4:30 PM.
