Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Imposter Sweepstakes Phishing Scam

I got a call from unknown cell and just hung up immediately. The man called again right away, and again I hung up without saying Hello. Once again, the call came in with the same number. He asked why I hung up; he had wonderful news for me. He then told me I was a big winner in the Better Homes and Garden sweepstakes and that my name had been drawn in Times Square. He said that it was certainly NOT a scam and that I would be very happy when I got the huge check. He then said it sounded like I did not believe him and I replied that I did not, I get at least 30 scam marketing calls per day, and he was one of them. He finally hung up and did not call back.

I use TikTok often. I believe their advertising has become malicious and extremely inappropriate. Yesterday I was scrolling and got an ad of what looked like a little girls face and the audio was “don’t let my dad find this website with my images”. I was utterly disturbed! Then again today it’s another advertisement with a picture of a girl with a birthday cake and number “14” balloons. The advertisement said “why did you let your dad crack”. Just to be clear “crack” is a term for fornication. I’m really traumatized seeing these advertisements! While human trafficking is rampant and now they are advertising minors taking about sex is horrific. They are obviously not screening advertisements. Not only was it traumatizing to see but I didn’t click on any links at all I was taken to a malicious website unprompted!

This is one of two groups of scammers that tend to call my phone 5-6 times per week. They surely use an app that allows them to call from a different phone number every time, so I realize filing this complaint is likely a huge waste of time, just as is blocking all of the various phone numbers they call from is. They never actually name who they are attempting to reach. In fact, I believe it is ALWAYS a recorded message that they use when they leave a voicemail so that they can knock out as many outgoing calls and messages every day as they possibly can, just waiting for the next person who may be nervous, or simply ignorant that it’s a scam, and ****** **** **** ******* actually do what the message says…call back the number one the caller ID and expose themselves to some sort of scam or trap. It is obviously fake to anybody who knows what details to look for, but I can see how many people who do not know better could easily fall pray to it. Here is the voicemail message that they leave (and probably the same thing you may hear if you were to ever answer a call from these losers: “ Please call the number shown on your caller ID to connect with Kirkland Myers about your account. “

I received a letter with no company name on the letter head, however on the front of the letter it said in bold & upper case letters, the following: (1) "THIS NOTICE IS TIME SENSITIVE: SENT ON 8/14/2026. INFORMATION FOR THE MORTGAGE ONLY (2) IMMEDIATE RESPONSE TO THIS NOTICE REQUESTED (3) LENDER INFO: MY BANK NAME ON IT I called the number on the letter & spoke to a Jonah (probably a fake name) and he told me they were going to be working on some streets in my neighborhood & that I needed "Home Warranty" to cover any damages, then I asked him what damages, he said id something goes wrong with your plumbing or electrical you will be stuck paying a $10,000 bill out of your pocket, he was very persistent & said it's nothing against you, but you need to be prepared, I said I don't need a home warranty, I then told him let me research your company "Reliant Home Warranty" because there are a lot of scams going on, if your company proves to be legit & my bank verifies I need it I will call you back. He hesitated & he (Jonah) said you can't call back this offer is for today only, I told him if your company is legit you will let me verify your company & allow me me to call you back. After I hung up with him I called my bank & they said I didn't require a "Home Warranty" for my loan. I looked it up on BBB website and sure enough they were a scam, they were doing the same thing with the same name "Reliant Home Warranty" in other states. I hope this information helps you so you don't get SCAMMED.

I am looking to adopt another pet and on multiple pet adoption sites, there is this one rescue that uses AI generated images of cats and dogs, called Mutts N Such Rescue. You can go to their website, where if you want to "adopt" one, you fill out an insanely long and invasive questionnaire, they ask for actual photos of your yard/house, and ask for photos of current pets (smart, they'd get a supply of free dogs/cats to tell the AI to use as a template for a new image), pay $250 and specify in the comments of the payment which one you want. Their address is just a PO box which is suspicious, wouldn't a rescue want to list an address people can visit? Why are all of the animals only available for delivery? I could see someone's tech illiterate parents falling for this scam thinking they're adopting a dog/cat from a trustworthy rescue just to have their data stolen, images of their home given up freely, and out $250.

I’ll call my bank and ask them a question and then I also did some research on these people and they popped up as a well-known employment scam and I did not know I was just interested and I also was tricked by the money. They haven’t touched my account they haven’t did anything in my account made me pay for anything or none of that but I am scared. I feel like my personal life and everything is just out there, but they gave me a phone call as like a regular job we do and offered me a position. They let me know what that this consist of. I had to send them my ID the front and back of them and I also filled out a W-2 form like a real job. It got iffy and I started to realize that it might possibly be a scam when they offered me a higher position and they asked me some questions about my bank so it kind of raised a red flag to me so I called my bank and ask them the question that they had asked me in my bank stated be very, very careful and cautious with those people because jobs are not supposed to be asking you what your exceeded limit for your deposit so now I’m really really really questionable and scared about this and I really don’t want nothing else to happen or lead to something else

I am a multimedia/graphic designer and recently encountered what I believe was a fraudulent employment recruitment attempt involving an organization called Spotlight Over The City, which presented itself as offering a legitimate remote Graphic Designer position. 1. How and when I was contacted On August 17, 2026, I was contacted through a comment on my latest work/post on Behance. The person, identified as Jefferson Silva, commented: “Hi, are you currently employed? Dm me.” I contacted him through direct message. I was then instructed to contact Spotlight Over The City through its website contact form, as they were supposedly seeking a remote Graphic Designer. Following this, I received an email from Terri Long, using the email address [email protected]. The email stated that she had received my application for the Remote Graphic Designer position and asked me to provide my resume. She then instructed me to participate in an online interview through Microsoft Teams with someone identified as Mrs. Cheryl Lewis, described as the interview manager. The email provided the following Microsoft Teams invitation: https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FAAit6zGQwZMuEXww?v=g1 I was instructed to send the verification code “SOTC 088” to the Teams contact in order to receive further information about the job. 2. What they asked me to do / information requested Initially, I was asked to submit my resume and participate in an online interview through Microsoft Teams. I did not provide any banking information, Social Insurance Number, passport, driver's licence, credit-card information, or money. During the Teams conversation, I was provided with information about the supposed employment and training arrangements. I was told that there would be a 3-day introductory training period, during which I would be online from approximately 8:00 AM to 12:00 PM and receive $15.75/hour. After the training, I was told the position would pay $45/hour, with standard working hours of approximately 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and that I would be paid for a full eight-hour day as long as I remained online during the designated hours, regardless of the volume of work. The recruitment/interview process appeared highly unusual and unprofessional. During the Teams conversation, I disclosed that I currently work for a newspaper and described my relevant professional experience. Shortly afterward, the individual provided a job briefing and then abruptly stopped communicating with me. The Teams conversation was subsequently deleted from their side, and the individual left the Teams chat without responding to my further messages. 3. Who they claimed to represent They claimed to represent Spotlight Over The City, which appeared to be a legitimate media/entertainment organization. At the time, I believed the opportunity could be legitimate because the organization's website appeared established, contained active YouTube content and other information about the organization, and the individuals contacting me appeared to be associated with the organization. However, the recruitment process raised significant concerns, particularly the unprofessional Teams interview, the unusually high compensation offered, the abrupt termination of communication, and the deletion of the conversation. I subsequently researched the organization and found information indicating that Spotlight Over The City has previously been associated with an employment scam report, which increased my concern that I had been targeted as part of a fraudulent recruitment operation. I am submitting this report so that the Canadian authorities can investigate the individuals, communications, websites, social media accounts, and recruitment methods involved and determine whether other job seekers may also be being targeted. I have retained relevant evidence, including screenshots, emails, the Teams invitation link, the original Behance contact, and the job-related communications.

They called claiming to be checking on a credit card application wanting to verify my information. I asked for verification and they said they would call me back. They said it was an application opened in Texas and for me listing a previous address. Obviously I did not give them any information then I called US Bancorp to report it. They had no application on file for me.

On facebook They had a section on the Facebook news feed claiming they were the IS Forest Service. They were selling bags and clothing to make money to save and support the US Forest Service. The items looked legitimate and well made on the site. My guess is they stole the sites from legitimate US Forest service. They are located in China. I received one item that I ordered. It was supposed to be a Tshirt. It was an unwearable poorly made shirt. RebelFrogFDT • [email protected]
