This company Logan B Studios reached out to me for a commercial job. The contract indicated that I would be paid half up front including the venders fee (which I had to pay the mobile production company because no one from logan b studio would be on site for the commercial) and I would get paid the rest after the is completed (although it originally indicated I would get paid upfront). The check was deposited into my account as they the company directed. My bank flagged it as fraud and I was charged a bounce check fee. The company claimed they would look into as I was the only model having this problem. They sent me another check saying that it should work. This time my bank indicated that the company withdrew /took back their money and again indicating that the check was fraudulent.

Phishing - Direct America Home Warranty

Received mail with urgency (final notice, call immediately) saying that my home warranty through my mortgage company was expiring or I needed to create one. They knew my name, address, details about my home (size and year built) and mortgage company. Asking for 189/month for home warranty coverage for two years. Conversation was long and unprofessionally after multiple attempts to decline the coverage. Asked what company they were calling from and they said “you called us”. Finally said the company was Direct America. Said they would put a “red flag” on my mortgage if I did not accept and have to pay 3500$ Which I finally got out of them that 3500$ could be the cost of an inspection if I was to apply for a home warranty elsewhere. Seeing multiple reports on this number online, submitting my experience.

Called 313-447-8718, some man answered and I asked him his name, he said Henry something and he quickly ended the call. Called 888-634-2611 and a message identified the Sweepstakes and press 4 to claim your prize, it just kept ringing and said the mail box was full. I never trust anyone or give out my personal info. and knew this was bogus cause we never win anything. I have never sent anyone money or gift cards and never would. We are elderly but not unwise.

Phishing - Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic IMPOSTOR

The Midwest Band and Orchestra Clinic had a data breach in 2023 at the conclusion of their annual conference. People pretending to be the Midwest Clinic and/or representing them/travel agencies that supposedly work with them started calling businesses and individuals claiming that the business/individual had not yet secured their hotel rooms for the Midwest Clinic and offering to do so over the phone. The phone call from this particular number was one such scam. I am unsure how to start legal proceedings against these fraudulent companies that continually contact my place of business trying to get payment information over the phone pretending to be part of an organization that they have no claim to, but trust me that I am going to start down that path now. Today's call was the last straw. I wanted to make sure others who received phone calls from this number were aware of the scam.

Payments were made consistently late every month to creditors by Eric, causing negative affects to my personal credit. When the equipment failed only a few months later, he refused repairs, refused to take the broken equipment, stopped making all payments to finance company, and does not respond to requests for payment. Carico is now harassing me daily, and extensively for payment. They have been made aware of the distributor scamming disabled people on fixed incomes, which I am! As well as, defective, unwanted equipment, and to cease communication that has resulted in extreme medical anxiety. No resolution has been entertained thus far.

Online Purchase - Puppy Scam

My name is Heather Genereux, and I’m the owner of Malinois Puppy Palace, located in downtown El Paso, Texas. We are a state-licensed and reputable breeder with over a decade of experience dedicated exclusively to the Belgian Malinois breed. Our commitment to responsible breeding, health testing, and early socialization has earned us a strong reputation across the country. This is how email started when I enquired about the puppy I was interested in. Email required me to give answer multiple questions about ever owning this breed of dog, for example: Have you owned a Belgian Malinois or a similar breed (such as a German Shepherd, Dutch Shepherd, or Doberman)? What is your experience level with high-energy, working dogs? Do you have a fenced yard or access to a safe space for daily exercise? How much time each day can you dedicate to Apache’s training, exercise, and supervision? What types of activities or training do you plan to provide for Apache? Are you familiar with the Belgian Malinois breed’s working temperament and high energy levels? To move forward, please reply with your answers to the questions above and include the following information: • Full name • Phone number • Email address • Shipping address (if delivery is needed) • Name of your nearest major airport After the questions, they emailed back puppy pics were sent with options to pay. $710 for puppy and $250 for transportation to my nearest airport for pick-up. Then she sent me the phone number to start texting for faster communication. Tried to pay total with Zelle but unsuccessful. Attempted to pay directly through business webpage unsuccessfully, then finally through their Facebook acct I was able to pay but they were only able to charge $845 on credit card. I was to pay remaining balance at a later date to complete adoption and set up date for flight and pick up. Then I began to read comments on Facebook about people not getting their pets. I text Heather and she began to tell me she was Facebook verified, part BBB, and had many positive reviews. So I asked if I could call her and she said yes but to a different number. So I called it and the voice had a slight accent and did not sound like the Heather on the FB page training the puppies. So I told her I was reporting the business and wanted a refund. She texts back on the first number that, that was her and how could I tell it was not her. That I had never spoken to her to know what she sounded like. So then I asked if I could face time her on FB messenger and she replied of course, do you think I'm afraid of you. I stated I was not threatening her but I wanted to make sure she was who she said she was. I called 3 times to facetime her with no answer and no other replies to any of our previous forms of conversations. I observed another attempted charge for $450 on my credit card that I was able to stop before cancelling my card and calling my credit card company for a replacement.
