I saw a post on Instagram about some beautiful book rugs. I clicke the linkbon the page to the website and ordered the harry potter rug. When I placed my order it said that it woul get to me by the 6th of May. I reached out to the page about my order because I couldnt find a confirmation email. After sending my information to check on order, the person sent me an email with the confirmation. They then messaged me that the order will take 2-3 weeks to be made and that I ordered the pre-Order dropp which was odd. I then went to contact them and I couldnt find the page,after going under their post to ask if anyone received their order or is it a scam. They have since reopened their instagram page.

Tech Support
Respected Sir / Madam ,
I would like to report a suspected scam involving the phone number 855-618-4556. The caller claimed to represent Norton and offered assistance regarding “How to Cancel Norton 360 Subscription and Disable Auto Renewal.” During the conversation, I was instructed to make payment through Amazon gift cards, which appeared highly suspicious and unprofessional. The individual used pressure tactics and attempted to gain financial information under the name of Norton services. I believe this may be a fraudulent activity targeting customers through fake subscription support. Please investigate this matter and take necessary action to prevent others from becoming victims of this suspected scam.
Sincerely ,
George Martin

Contacted via text for a part time job. This is what they described... Bbxalliance is a global marketing business that works with merchants such as Amazon, Walmart, Wayfair, and so on. This job is simply remote, very flexible, and does not require specific expertise or skills, making it suitable for a wider range of people We are here to make sure that the merchants enhance the value of their products and increase their visibility and overall sales. No involvement in buying, selling, or direct customer contact required. The platform operates from 10am to 11pm EST Here’s the fixed salary plan: 2 consecutive days of work - $120 5 consecutive days of work - &900 15 consecutive days of work - $1,500 30 consecutive days of work - 3,800 If everything is clear, I will proceed to share the sign up link and you will receive $80 to $100 when you finish Commission vary depending on the amount of work you complete each day, ranging from $50 to $300 and it takes approximately 30 to 60 minutes to complete each tasks. For example, if someone in Canada or Australia is looking to buy Adidas pants, the first thing they will do is search on Google. The products that appear first are usually the ones that have strong visibility and engagement from consumers. Our role is simply to interact with these products by clicking and submitting, which helps increase their visibility on search platforms. This allows the system to recognize the products as active and relevant, making them easier for real buyers to find. So the job tasks are to click and submit products on the working platform. Please, are you clear now? Then Alice created a training account for me. I have deposited $1000 into that your account for you, which will generate a 8% bonus of $80, for a total of $1800. Click on the 3 line top right corner to confirm. These funds are to help you understand the process better and to create a real cash flow simulation. I started my account. First they asked me to deposit $500. Then it was 1700. They assured me as soon as I cleared out this debt to the system that I can immediately withdraw my money plus profits. I deposited the money. I couldn’t withdraw the money after I was done with the task like they promised. Now they are asking me to deposit $5000 and Tren I can withdraw all of my money back. I’m not losing any more money. They said nothing about a credit score. They lied to get my money.

I watched an online ad for medicine to reverse diabetes. The item was advertised for buy 3 bottles, get 3 free at $49 per bottle. That should be $150. They were trying to charge $294. I called to get the correct price. At first, they told me that I had to talk to the sales department to place an order and that I would get a call back. I never got the call, so I called back about 6 hours later. I went through the same process again. This time, I got the call. They tried to tell me that the price would be $294 again. I told them that it should be $150. They hung up on me. I called back and said that I just spoke to them and they hung up on me again. Shady set up.

Online Purchase - thehunplastore
This is an incredibly detailed and well executed scam-site. Has a well designed and functioning website/shopping cart feature. Initially thought I was just lucky that the items I was looking for were on sale. Turns out everything on the site is on sale. You make your selections, put in your info, pay for the items and soon there after you receive an emailed itemized receipt with an order number.
The next day you receive a shipping number and a link to the shipping company. The company's web address ended in ".com" - this is important for later.
The tracking is live and detailed. Where the package is, the name of the person handling the transfer, the time it takes for the transfer, the airport it's departing, the flight number and it does the same thing when the package lands in New York.
But then there's a problem. The tracking number no longer works. Number is no longer valid. OK, send email to shipping company ".com". No reply. Send email to thehunplastore.com message comes back that they will look into it and find the package. Then the shippers website no longer exists.
At this point I figure I'm being scammed and contact credit card company and report the problem. Meanwhile I try contacting thehunplastore and get a reply that they've contacted the shipper and the package it caught in a customs hold and they send a new link to the shipper. It's the same web address but now ends in ".net". Tracking website now works, but it shows that the package is in customs hold.
It's very well done. If you put in the tracking number incorrectly it says it can't be found, but put in the correct number and it shows the same info as before.
The phone number for the shipping company doesn't work and is in a different state than the main office.
So that's where it's at.

Employment - Cargo Vista
I am submitting this correspondence to formally document a consumer complaint and to request general guidance regarding a business operating under the name “Cargo Vista,” which I now reasonably believe may be engaged in deceptive or fraudulent practices. I was recruited for a purported employment opportunity involving the receipt and reshipment of packages. Based on the representations made to me, I understood this to be a legitimate logistics or fulfillment role. In reliance on those representations, I accepted deliveries and forwarded packages to designated recipients using third-party carriers. At all times, I acted in good faith and without knowledge of any unlawful purpose. I did not knowingly participate in, nor intend to facilitate, any fraudulent or illegal activity. Despite completing the assigned tasks. Subsequent attempts to obtain payment or clarification have been unsuccessful or resulted in limited and non-substantive responses. Additionally, I have since encountered publicly available information, including complaints filed with your organization, suggesting that this arrangement may be part of a broader reshipping or fraud-related scheme. Given these circumstances, I am concerned that I may have been unknowingly misled and potentially used as an intermediary in a scheme without my informed consent. This correspondence is submitted solely for the purpose of documenting my experience and seeking general consumer guidance. It is not intended as an admission of liability, wrongdoing, or participation in any unlawful activity. I expressly reserve all rights and defenses available to me. I respectfully request that this matter be reviewed and that any appropriate record or investigation be initiated. Additionally, I would appreciate any information or resources you may provide regarding steps I should take to protect myself from potential legal, financial, or identity-related risks.

I paid for a service, and the apt was canceled by the company an hour before. The company canceled by text message. I responded right away to reschedule. I then ended up sending three text messages across a few few days trying to get a hold of someone.. I called the number listed on the website and it was out of service. I’ve left multiple voicemails on the number that the company texted me from. And I have sent multiple emails with no response back from the company.
I went to the address listed on the website during opening hours, and the door was locked after ringing the doorbell and knocking multiple times. No one answered. after several minutes of waiting, a teenager walked out, and I asked if they were the technician that I was looking for. She said she was their daughter collected my cell phone number and gave me the technicians direct number, which had been the same number I have been calling and had gotten the text from and never got a response back.

They claimed to be bloodhound breeders, but refused to give actual proof of having the puppy after I placed a deposit. I was to put $200 down for a deposit and pay the remaining $400 at pickup. Within an hour or so after sending the deposit I was told I needed to pay another $100 that day “to complete vet bills” and we would be all set. I sent it. That was all on April 26. On May 1 I was contacted again and told I needed to send $85 more “for up keep and feeding”. Again, it didn’t seem right considering the puppy wasn’t suppose to be ready until May 10th anyway. But I sent it to try to be a good person. Maybe they was struggling financially. I was send a fake photo of their “breeders license” as well as a fake website for their puppies. They claimed the website was down. I asked for a FaceTime call with the puppy and they said they would. Come time for the call, they refused to answer my calls. I voice called and they finally answered. It was a foreign guy. He was suppose to call me on FaceTime and never did. I eventually asked if I could have the puppy early since I was already paying for it’s food. They agreed and we was set to meet May 2. They claimed they was on their way, had us drive 2+ hours to meet them then the contact me saying they need an additional $50 on an Apple gift card to “get gas”. I called their bluff on it and refused to send anymore. They sent me a photo of them “at the gas station”. It didn’t look like one I had ever saw in the US, so I google image searched it. That exact photo was all over Google. The original photo is from a whole different country. When I asked their location they stated they wasn’t but 20 minutes away from us, so we offered to drive to them and pay in person for the gas. They refused to give us the location. When we asked to meet closer to them so they wasn’t out anymore gas, they said they couldn’t, they had to go to Kentucky to drop another dog off. It is May 11 and we still don’t have the dog or our money back. They have blocked me on social media.

Phishing - Home Warranty Imposter Phishing and Identity Theft Scam
I received the...(attached photos)... letter from STATE FARM BANK FSB regarding my "mortgage" with an allocated waiver check for $199 in MY NAME! I paid off my daddy's loan to State Farm Bank in 2017 or 2018. The mortgage was NEVER IN MY NAME! A legitimate refund would have been in my daddy's name, even though I paid the monies. My daddy died in 2009. Any refund would have been sent to the State of Texas.
It was explained to me by BBB that if I had cashed this unexplained check, the scammer would have my banking information. My $199 check would have cost me much more $$$...
My income? All types of pertinent information I prefer not to share.

Faiana Brown has been mentioned in online investigations connected to crypto-investment groups such as Swift Wave Capital, VCEX, and BG Wealth Sharing. Independent investigators and user reports have raised concerns about withdrawal issues, high-return investment claims, and requests for additional “audit” or “compliance” payments before funds can be released.
While there is no confirmed public court ruling proving criminal wrongdoing by her personally, the platforms linked to these allegations display several warning signs commonly associated with crypto scams. Users are advised to use caution and independently verify any financial claims before sending money.

Hey, this is Donovan Monroe. I called your phone twice, but for some reason your phone is going straight to voicemail. The reason why I'm calling is because I have some documents that are being tied directly to your social, an all-state issued ID that you may possess. It also says on here that an asset search is also being conducted too. So if you receive this message and you have not received a red folder or green folder of documents in the mail. You need to contact me in my office as soon as possible. Now, I will have a notary in the office later today to sign and stamp all paperwork. Now, I do understand that this message is somewhat vague, but at the same time, I don't feel comfortable leaving results of a private matter on a voicemail box that can be overheard by a 3rd party or another person. So once again, this is Donovan. I'm leaving the office about 90 minutes earlier than usual today for my daughter's soccer tournament, which actually begins this later this afternoon. So again, when you receive this message, just reach out to me and I'm gonna explain everything to you in a simple way for you to understand and obviously make the best decision. Take care.

When I emailed [email protected] they said the shipping would be done from Perth. I asked Australia or Canada. They said Perth Ontario and responded within minutes (copied and pasted direct quote): "The shipping fee for all of the items listed is $480 as confirmed by the movers. Once the payment is confirmed, I will process the tracking number and send it to you. You should receive your items within 24 hours." I realized the emails were coming from Nancy *****, not Nancy *******, so I asked about that. They responded (copied and pasted direct quote): "******* is my mindle name Okay ??"

Counterfeit Product - Wildred Smith
The item that arrived was not the item ordered. My credit card was charged. When I reached out via email and phone to return the item both the email address and phone were not legit. The VM says the phone was disconnected. The email address bounces back saying it's not a valid email. All attempts to reach company for return are unsuccessful. There was also a fraudulent charge on my cc following my purchase through their website. This appears to be a scam.
