Phishing

Received a call on 8/2/2026 at 6:49 pm on my cell phone. Told me that as a senior citizen I was randomly chosen for the "Megaer Million" (I made sure he spelled it out for me - he didn't even know what name to use - his crony in the background told him) prize of $8.5 million. Throughout the phone call, John Parker asked questions about my age, social security amounts that I receive, retirement benefits I receive, and asked for my bank name. I am 54, but wanted to see how far I could get with him before he asked for my bank information. The call lasted 26 minutes and 56 seconds. He said the camera crew would be here on Tuesday, 8/4/26 if I wanted to go the "public" way or I could opt for private. I chose private. The things he promised that I would receive: My bank account: $8.5 million $500,000 in cash (my choice of bills - I chose all 20s) to be given at the time the camera crew would be here (I opted for a private delivery, he missed that part apparently) A 2026 Ford RV I quit adding to the list at this point because I was fuming and beyond angry. When he finally asked for my bank account information, I gave him a few random numbers and then unloaded the mouthful of foul language that had boiled up inside me from him doing this to "senior citizens". We have to stop these vile, disgusting creatures from doing this to the aging population.

Counterfeit Product

What I purchased was ONE portable air conditioner that did not require venting. What I got was TWO units that would not cool a 4x4 closet. There is no air conditioning on these, not as much air movement as a cheap fan. The cord is about 2 ft. long and this item was supposed to hang on a wall, not likely with a cord this short, and none of the description given on this was accurate, the picture shows a blast of cold air movement. The site I went to to purchase this item had it rated as the best new innovative air conditioner, several were shown with this being listed as the best. All my attempts to contact this company by email have been returned as 'undeliverable.'

This company false advertised a product. They are selling a totally immersive experience. It is supposed project space and the ocean. It is also supposed to connect to WiFi. None of these things were anything remotely close to what I received. What I received was something you would purchase from the dollar store in the toy department. I paid extra for fast shipping and it took a month to get here. They stated that they were A USA developing company then shipped from China. They also said 100% money back guarantee if your not completely satisfied but they also fail to say it will cost you $20.00 to send it back to them in order to receive your refund of $32.89. The picture it projected was horrible and not even realistic, nor immersive. All it was, was cutout stars with a half moon. There was absolutely no ocean scene nor WiFi connectivity to it. I tried calling them to speak to someone concerning their product and I would get someone telling me they would have someone call me back and they couldn’t help me. I also tried the email address they provided on their website and it came back as undeliverable. The only way I was able to successfully get through was the email they sent to me when my item was shipped.

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 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.

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.
