O'clock at a safe zone atbthe sheriff's office. The morning of the 3rd. She messaged me and said that she dropped the dog off at rydex international shipping. Then someone form the company sent me a message showing me a picture of the dog in a crate and asking for 800.00 for an air conditioned shipping crate. He then asked if i pay with zelle, chime, or pay pal for the shipping. I called the number and a man answered but didn't adress the call as if i was calling a business. I looked the number up its located in Tennessee. I cant get the dog from the shipping company, and the person that dropped the dog off as of 730am on the 3rd of August, cant get the dog and meet me because everyone is all of a sudden out of town. I have given this women my address and my phone number. The person with the Tennessee number knows my address as well. I want to press charges on these ppl. They need to be punished for this.

I applied for a few jobs on indeed.com and received a text message from number ?+1 (877) 359-2071? stating that “ Good day! You are invited to an interview Via Microsoft teams for the Help Desk/ Contact Center Rep Position.Please join the Microsoft Teams Chat searching the email provide [email protected] and send "Hello" to begin the process”. As I spoke with the person through Microsoft Teams they had me do an interview via a questionnaire and responded the next day that I have gotten the job. It got sketchy for me as I started to go down the list of jobs that I have applied for and noticed I did not apply for that specific job stated above. What first got me is why would they ask in the initial text to state my full name, position I applied for and state of residence. I don’t know why I didn’t notice anything. I pushed along everything and then already gave them my full name, email address along with my address and the bank institution I use. I don’t know what kind of info they’re able to do with that but I’m praying that nothing happens from here. I ended up texting them that I no longer want the position as it may be a scam. I have yet gotten a response.

Home Improvement

I contacted A-Z Garage doors after my garage came off the tracks and did not close properly. The eep stated that someone would arrive between 4:30-6:30 to my home. Shortly afterwards someone named Mike called and stated he would be there shortly. He and another man presented to my home. Mike immediately told me I needed new springs and the repair would cost at least 2200.00. He then acted as if I called someone and quoted 850.00. I became suspicious and called a family member who stated he would make contact with the installer. I told Moke that I would only like to have the door placed on the track. This was a simple service. It was about 10 mins. Mike charged me 350.00 with a 100.00 service fee. I check my phone for the recent to find I was charged almost 495.00 for the total service. Mike also attempted to not have me in the work area which I thought was odd. The company is one of the 1st companies that show when looking for garage door repairs. I knew it was too much but I was alone and a woman.

First, this is a legal lead service which promised exclusive leads at $400 per lead and no charge until balance hits $1000. This was a lie! The leads get blasted to several lawyers and they charge you on the 11th of the month no matter if you have hit $1000. Moreover, they deny credit requests for fake contact information left by suspected leads. Furthermore, we have tried for weeks to cancel the service but are still receiving these fraudulent/fake non-exclusive leads. We cannot cancel in the portal so it states to contact our account representative who has been completely non-responsive to our several requests to cancel this service.

I purchased a kitten on Facebook, initial contact was Mabelle Veyn Maine coon Cattery, told me to send deposit of $400 to hold kitten, through Zelle, which I did. I was sent video and photos. I didn’t trust the seller, so I told them I would pick up the kitten. A guy named Vantel Atkins at the address I sent in Eugene contacted me, said his father just passed away and he had to go to N. Dakota emergently, and so he would have it shipped from Eugene to me, one state away. The shipper wanted $400, which was 100% refundable when it arrived. I paid it. Then they wanted another $400, I refused. I said I will come pick it up, a 6 hr drive. They are refusing and also refusing refund. No services were rendered. They apparently aren’t sending the kitten nor the refund. Thank you!

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill

I received a mailer from Virginia Business Filing Center (2711 Buford Road, Suite #102, North Chesterfield, VA 23235) formatted to closely resemble an official government notice — including a seal-style logo, a red "TIME SENSITIVE" stamp, a government-style reference ID, and a QR code payment portal. It advertised three "required" business compliance documents: an EIN/Tax ID ($199.95), Labor Law Posters ($124.95), and a Certificate of Fact/Good Standing ($89.95), totaling $399.89. These items are available free or at minimal cost directly from the IRS, U.S. Department of Labor, and Virginia Secretary of State, respectively. The company discloses in small print that it is not government-affiliated, but the overall design and language creates a strong impression of an official government requirement. Believing this was a legitimate mandatory filing, I paid the full $399.89 by credit card and provided my Social Security number as part of the payment/verification process. I want to report this business's deceptive practices.

Rental - Property Rental Scam

I am writing to report that I was the victim of a rental scam that caused me to lose $2,100. I was searching for a home to rent using my housing voucher. I found a house that appeared to be available, and I was contacted by someone who claimed to be the realtor or person responsible for renting the property. Throughout the entire process, our communication was only through phone calls and text messages. We never met in person. The individual instructed me to send $2,100 as a security deposit in order to secure the home before I could move in. Trusting that the rental was legitimate, I sent the money as requested by Zelle from my bank. After the payment was made, I expected to receive the keys and move into the property. Instead, the individual became difficult to reach and eventually stopped responding to my phone calls and text messages. I never received access to the home, never signed a legitimate lease, and never moved into the property. I later realized that I had been the victim of a rental scam. As a result, I lost $2,100, and the scam also delayed my housing search while using my housing voucher. I am requesting that this incident be documented and investigated. I am willing to provide any available evidence, including text message conversations, phone records, payment receipts, and any other documentation related to this incident.
