Phishing - Business IMPOSTER
I applied for a $10,000 loan with the company Prosper. I received a call from a David Cooper telling me I had been approved for my loan. However, he was not from Prosper. He was impersonating a loan officer from Prosper Loan Company. He said he needed information from me to verify who I was. Unfortunately, I made the mistake of giving him my social security number, bank account information, passwords and username. He told me that money was to be deposited into my account. I was to withdraw the money and buy Apple Gift Cards and Target gift cards and take a picture of them and send the pictures to him. After I did all this, it would prove that it was me and not a scammer. In the process I was notified by my bank that there was suspicious activity going on with my savings and checking account. I spoke with David and he turn had me talk to his Head Manager, Derrick Parker. I was told all this was legal by the FDIC. I would be getting my money in a couple of days. Just one more process to do. I had to pay for PPI insurance which was $2,000. They would deposit the money, and I was to withdraw it and get a bank card. I called my bank and told them what they wanted me to do, and they advised me not to. When I informed Derrick that I was withdrawing my loan application, he said please don't I will give you an extra $40.00. I said no and ended my contact with the company. I lost all the money they said they gave me. Instead, they were taking my money out of my accounts Not to mention all the work I had to do to restore my bank accounts, notify social security, and the fraud complaints I have had to make.

Home Improvement
On May 27, 2025 I was having a problem with my Genie Garage Door opener. It seemed to be stuck. I called Cas Garage Door Repair, a number which I found online. A young man who called himself Alex (not sure if it’s his real name) said he could be at my house in a few hours. Ironically, while he was on the way to my house, I found what was wrong with my Genie and got it working. When he arrived, he really pushed to sell me a LiftMaster saying that they are so much better. I told him I was going to turn my garage into a ADU in the near future and don’t really need a new garage door opener. Since he was already there, I decided to let him install the LiftMaster as he was really pushing it. When he left, there were wires hanging in the center of the garage and I really regretted having him take the old one out. Alex gave no breakdown of the cost. (Equipment and labor) he simply charged me $919.20 with no explanation. I later found the opener was very low quality probably around $150 to $200. He was at my house for about 1 hour. I was upset and called the main number. I asked for the company address and they said they don’t have one.
However, the worst of it was yet to come. If the electricity goes out in the neighborhood, the remotes can no longer open the garage. With my old Genie unit, this was never an issue. Alex installed no method at all to deal with this inevitable possibility. Sure enough, when the electricity went out, I got locked out of my garage. My garage door is very heavy and it is extremely difficult and dangerous to open by hand. With two strong people, you can pull it up just enough to slide in. To reset the LiftMaster opener, you need to unplug it and plug it back in.
On Wednesday, July 1st, 2026 I got locked out of the garage because the electricity went out in the neighborhood. I was so angry at this company but I had to call them because they’re the ones who caused this problem in the first place. A young man came out and said I needed a back-up battery that would cost about $200. I agreed to that and left him to finish the job. When he finished, he said he installed a completely different opener and the cost would be $3,000. I was incredibly angry and then he said I’ll make it $1800. Again, no breakdown of costs. I had to travel the next day and needed to get him off my property as he kept pushing to pay him. I figured I could use my credit card and dispute the charge later as this was clearly a scam job. I did file a police report with the Albany Police Department after he left. Report# 2607010122
I searched the model # he installed that only took him an hour, (I have time-marked security footage of him coming and leaving) and found that it only cost 325 retail (much less wholesale) Again, just like the first time no breakdown of costs between labor and parts. If you’d like to check this it’s the LiftMaster 2420L.
When he left my son and his friends began to research the company. Following are just a few many negative things we found:
The phone numbers you provided, (650) 288-3892 and (866) 269-0711, are frequently linked to reports of predatory business practices and are actively flagged on the Better Business Bureau’s (BBB) Scam Tracker in connection with "CAS Garage Door Repair" and other similar service entities in California.
Better Business Bureau
Multiple consumer reports describe these companies as using aggressive, high-pressure tactics, often significantly overcharging for basic parts and labor, or leaving customers with unfinished work after payment is collected.
Given the consistent reports of negative experiences and financial losses associated with these numbers, I strongly recommend that you avoid using these services and do not provide them with access to your home or payment information.
There is an entire reddit board dedicated to people who have been scammed by this company.
https://www.reddit.com/r/GarageDoorFraudsters/s/YQcGqXCuAl
Currently, I am disputing the charge. Please check the subreddit. This group is causing a lot of harm to innocent people.
At 70 years old, I consider this a clear example of elder abuse. These guys should be in jail.

Home Improvement - Atlantic Locksmith
The phone number has the number 1 in front of it. I asked the locksmith who came out to service, what his boss's nationality is. He said Egyptian. It was a mobile service. The locksmith said they work out of Florida. He said to make the check out to
Nasser Metwaly.
I checked with 2 other locksmiths and they said the charge would never be that much and there are scammers in businessmen like that.
I stopped payment on the check. I will call them back and tell them i will pay what they told me on the phone. $80 to $120.
I asked the service guy what the name of the business is. He sais
"Atlantic Locksmith" but that does not come up in a search. The phone number I originally called for service was 1 732 858 0372. After that , the local number they called me from was
609 317 0331. They said to call that number if i had any problem bc there is a 3 month warranty. I did not get an itemized receipt or any receipt or a copy if a warranty.
Please contact me and let me know if I should pay them.something because the job was done. Please contact me either way before i pay them anything.

Identity Theft - Credit Bureau / impostor
This scammer by the name of Eric Nelson called my mother twice. The first time he mentioned to her that someone was using her information to open up a credit card. The second time he called and told her someone was trying to use her master card. I reached out to him personally and he said that my mother should make a payment to close her account that's being compromised. He told my mother that this person trying to access her credit was from TX. and he knew she did not live in Tx and he also knew her social security number. My mom did make a payment on her CC card and we tried to call Eric Nelson back to let him know so he could close the account, but the phone number was non-working. Since he said he worked for the credit bureau we assumed he was legit. Upon calling the phone number he gave us I thought it was a little suspicious and looked it up and seen someone else had experienced this issue/situation. We closed cards and locked credit report.

Online Purchase - Bear Trail Bikes
In December 2025, I ordered an e-bike from Bear Trail Bikes under the guise of the Colorado E-Bike Tax Credit program. As required by the merchant to process the transaction, I filled out and signed a Colorado Residency Affidavit to assign my state tax rebate over to them. I then paid the remaining balance/sales tax out of pocket. The merchant promised delivery within 6 to 12 weeks. To date, I have never received the merchandise. I am submitting this report because the merchant is actively using consumer identities to file for state tax credit funds without delivering the product, They are not replying to my emails or phone calls. I have already initiated a financial dispute with my financial institution.
I wrote them emails asking about my e-bike status.
I filled out their online contact form many times
I tied calling them (970-404-2229 & 720-827-7258) multiple times but they blocked my number .
I have already initiated a financial dispute with my financial institution.
