Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - Prize Winner - Phishing Scam

A person named Richard LAVERY sent me a text message this morning saying that they had received a lottery winning and I was one of the few people that got an invite to win some money out of a billion dollars and that I’m supposed to send a guy named Dennis a code for me to get a share of the lottery prize money. Out of curiosity I sent the manager Dennis the code and I received a text message back saying that I was one of the lucky winners when asked to send him my address and then he wanted me to send him a picture of myself so he can verify if it was really me so I didn’t because then that’s when I realized that this was a scam. I didn’t send anything else to him or a Richard LAVERY. You have to beware when someone asks for your picture and you don’t know who that person is.

Today, May 22, 2025, I was scammed out of $297.67 by Essential Foods Direct at their tent sale at BBX Liquors in Edgewood, MD. It was pouring rain and they were not allowing many people under the tent, including myself who had my baby with me. They were very secretive — not displaying prices or letting customers see what they were actually getting before purchasing. While waiting, I watched them take a small package of meat, put it in a giant empty box, and present it to a customer like it was a huge haul of meat. That should have been my sign to leave, but I stayed. When it was my turn, the salesman showed me high quality meat as an example of what I would receive. What was actually placed in my box was visibly lower quality — nothing like what was displayed. This is textbook bait and switch. I was told the price would be $280 but was charged $297.67 — more than agreed upon with no explanation. To make matters worse, they pressured customers into leaving a tip, with the lowest tip option being $30 and going all the way up to $80. This felt extremely coercive, especially after already being overcharged. The seafood box was supposed to contain salmon, flounder, cod and other fish. Instead it contained crabcakes and lobster — items never mentioned. My father is severely allergic to shellfish. This is a serious safety issue. I have since seen multiple other customers reporting the exact same experience. I am disputing this charge with my bank and reporting this to the Maryland Attorney General’s Consumer Protection Division. In today’s economy, families are struggling to put food on the table. Including my family .I was trying to get a good deal to feed my family and instead got taken advantage of. This company should be shut down.

March 29, 2026. I parked in downtown Pensacola on a Sunday morning. Parking downtown on Sundays, with all the construction taking place on Palafox St, is supposed to be free. I parked in a space off the street on a Sunday morning and could see Free Parking signs within twenty feet of where I parked. I received an invoice for $42.50 from an entity titled Level Parking. How did this company obtain my info and why? The return address on my invoice was 101 Palafox Pl. #723 Pensacola, Fl. 32591. When I received my next invoice with a threat to turn it over to a collection agency, I decided to go to the "horse's mouth" and discuss the situation with the company. That address was bogus: It's the old Post Office building downtown and is locked up all the way around. No signs for Level Parking anywhere. So I called the number I found on-line that is listed with the supposed six properties it operates. 850-741-7787. The guy on the other line offered to give me LP's email address and said that management would follow up and email me back. He had no information to give me about the bogus address.

There is no business name listed just a repeated message that the warranty is about to expire and I must call immediately, they have been trying to reach me, etc. And they list a property reference number.

There was a fake job on indeed.com posted. I applied for the job. The recruiter, who seems to be a legit recruiter for TCI (Transportation Consepts); lied to me and had me go down to take a drug test. I then went down to do a road test for their client Krispy Kreme. I was told I had the job. My alleged manager texted me from a different number and they acted like I was hired and that I would start on Tuesday May 19th, 2026. My hire date was Friday May 16th, 2026. On that Friday May 16th, I had to do orientation from home and it took 10 hours to complete. As soon as I completed orientation and signed all paperwork which showed a full time job at the rate of $21.00 an hour USD, which a lot of it was done on Transtreet (Driver Pulse); they ghosted me. There was no mention that it was a "Ghost Job". They told me I would start on Tuesday May 19th, 2026. I attempted to contact my alleged manager, and was notified that their actually was no route available. I had made real life decisions that is now causing burden and grief and real life consequences; because I thought I would be going to work after being unemployed for almost 3 months. I changed appointments and even spent money in gas and food items that I thought I would need to bring for lunch at work. Now I am facing starvation and homelessness, while still looking for work. I asked both (recruiter) and (manager); if there was an HR department I could contact. They never responded. That was Monday May 18th, 2026. I believe this is an elaborate scam in order for them to meet recruitment quotas. The person who did my road test, who I actually have his name and phone number, told me I was the 3rd road test that week. He claimed that people are just not showing up for the first day of work. I notified him of what they did to me. Basically the recruiters are falsely hiring people and then not scheduling them in order to meet recruitment quotas and get paid. However we the victims have spent money and had possibly turned down real jobs and are now broke and going homeless. This has cause financial and emotional burden to me and my family.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - First Premier Health

They offer health insurance. Needed it for when I was between jobs. I tried to cancel it but tjey stated I needed the new policy before cancelling due to legalities with Obama care. I told them to reduce my plan. They are still charging me for both the new and old plan and for some reason, I can never get through past even a simple prompt. I select 2 for other enquiries, the call drops. Every time. At leasr 20 attempt in a row.

Online Purchase - HoneyMug

HoneyMug is advertising Winnie the Pooh painted Stanley cups. I ordered it two months ago and the entire time the tracking code has shown nothing. It finally says it’s departed from china but nothing else. This is not a legitimate business this is a group trying to rip people off and not care if they even get a product or not. There’s no way to contact the company other than a comment section. Clearly even in I do eventually recieve the product I believe it will be fake and low quality.

Phishing

My son was pulled over and had a warrant for traffic court which led to an arrest. He and I talked a couple of times post-arrest and then a few hours after the arrest "Chief Investigator Carlton Mitchell" called with specs and next steps for my son to be released in a few hours or less considering this was a traffic violation. My son would need to report to assigned probation officer and attend a class within 3 business days for primary bond ($500) to be fully refunded. There was a restitution balance of $675 that needed to paid. Mr. Mitchell was under impression this was already taken care of which is why he was calling to process release. He put me on hold to confirm status of restitution and returned saying its due. I had already paid the $500 for him to be bonded; I paid the $675 so my son's job would not be at stake and also because I was under impression that I would be getting the $500 right back in a few days, no later than the following Tuesday. I had already taken my nightly medication which contains a sleep aid and was pushing myself to focus and execute to ensure release. This guy had all the patience in the world. We even got disconnected and I called the number and it announced Henry County Police Department information and I had to select 2 i think to get back to the inmate section and then another number for administration and bonding. No need to think anything suspicious. After the reconnect, the night got long and coupled with my frustration and drowsiness, it also got expensive! I received an email receipt for my transactions and if something "went wrong" the refund was immediately initiated and "should post in the next few minutes up to a few hours depending on my financial institution". I finally got suspicious and asked him to hold and he held for 30 minutes while I repeatedly attempted to call alternate Henry County Police Department numbers. No answer at any of the numbers attempted and likely due to it being 330AM. I ended all communications and started reaching out to my banks as soon as they were open. Unfortunately, a claim was denied because I processed the transaction. I dont deny that, however, I was being scammed! I did not transact to be intentionally hustled out of the money I work for!
