Phishing - The Better Business Bureau impostor

I received a call from (720) 637-7234. Alex Martin said he was from BBB. He said someone in FL opened a card in my name & asked if I had done that. I stated no. I asked for his # in case we get disconnected. He gave me (281) 628-8346, which is different from the # on my phone. He verified all of my cards by the last 4 digits & had my SS#. He said some cards were red-flagged. I asked why. He started talking about my balances and high interest on some cards. I told him I was confused & didn't understand why someone from BBB would be talking about this. I said I needed to go, but he became a bit agitated. He wanted to know why, if I lived alone, asked where I was going, & what time he should call back. I told him I didn't want to hear from him again.

Home Improvement - techhomesolutions

I had a leak in my roof that I wanted to get repaired. I had 4 or 5 bids from roofer companies, but they did not want to patch my roof and advised that I needed a total roof replacement. The last bid I received was from Techhomesolutions/Sean for $800 to patch on June 9, 2026. Work started on June 18,2026 when I was informed dry rot was discovered after initial tear off and the price was $19,000.00 to replace dry rot on several parts of my roof, as more dry rot was uncovered I was informed the whole roof needed to be replaced and would cost $32,000. I have pictures of the dry rot and by that time the entire roof had been removed, therefore I had no choice but to continue with the roof replacement. The company did not accept credit card as payment, checks or cash only. As the project proceeded I wrote 5 or 6 personal checks for various amounts under $5000 to Patrick Al Bhaird (owner of company). The project was completed July 6, 2026 and all looked great. It rained for the first time September 12, on September 13, I discovered a puddle on the kitchen floor leaking from the same spot. I tried to call the roofer and discovered the phone number no longer works. I looked up the roofer company online and found no other contact information.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Sweepstakes Scam

I received a video call from a person calling himself Anthony Dawson, I did not answer and attempted the Gmail attached and it was not valid so I video called back without my face being seen. I will make a long story short he told me he was from PCH and I had won 7.5 million and a new Mercedes Benz. I was given the following information: *Anthony Dawson *Pkg# 8904196 *Check # 020485 *Prize 7.5 million in a cashier's check *$10k today & another $10k for the next two months from. Amazon *Ask if I had an Amazon card or would I purchase one. *Would I put $500 on ithe Amazon card and when I got the $10k give it the representative upon getting the check? *He had my address and stated the representative with the check was 2 hours away and I would get the car at the same time. I politely let him know that I shouldn't have to do that if everything was legal and I could take the check to my bank, they would let me know if the check was legit, and where I bank and having to put out money should not be in the equation. I repeated it and I guess he heard I wasn't falling for his game and he hung up. I didn't give him any of my information. The email address he used was [email protected] which isn't a valid email address.

Fraudulently billed only the part for the agreed price (for parts and labor) and then added on a separate labor cost. Also fraudulently billed for work that was never authorized.

Paul came to the front door offering a deal to fix the stone pathway in front of the house and the patio behind. He gave an exact description of the work to be done, including pulling up all the stone work, adding a membrane, filling with sand, adding quickset concrete at edges. After doing more than half the job we paid $3000. Remaining balance was 500. We demanded to be paid before the work was complete. They did not complete the work, only did the specified work on half of the patio and missed a large portion of the path in the front of the house. Have not applied sealer or silica sand between the cracks as promised. Have not applied sealer and quickset concrete. Have not returned Calls for more than a week. After promising 10 year warranty, and pro promising no payment until we were completely happy, they have disappeared. They attempted several very expensive upsells during the process of the work. We declined. We are forced to finish the sealing and sand ourselves.
