Fake Check/Money Order - Phishing Scam - FBI Impostor

Hello, dear fund owner. I am Christopher G. Raia, the newly appointed Deputy Director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI), USA. The Debt Reconciliation Compensation Funds for the year 2026 were recently discussed in an interagency collaboration meeting with President Donald Trump, FBI Director Kash Patel, ICE Director Todd Lyons, and U.S. Secretary of State, Mr. Marco Rubio. This is to inform you that your email has been included to receive compensation funds totaling $13.5 million, which will be delivered to you via a Global Automated Teller Machine (ATM) Visa card and a secure consignment box. This compensation has been approved by the Trump administration for individuals affected by fraud perpetrated by the illegal aliens from Somalia and Cuba, who were captured and investigated by Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) during the massive deportation operation in the first year of President Trump’s term in office. During the investigation, ICE confirmed that these illegal aliens were engaged in fraudulent activities, drug trafficking, and extortion against innocent individuals in the USA. If you’re a fraud victim and you receive this email, please follow the instructions below. But, if you are not a fraud victim and you received this email, then your email address was randomly selected among the lucky fifteen beneficiaries chosen to receive these compensation inheritance funds from the fraud money recovered by ICE. This decision was made by the Interagency Board of Committee following a random email draw that was conducted after the interagency collaboration meeting at the White House. The consignment box contains a cash sum of $10,000,000, while the ATM card has a balance of $3,500,000, bringing the total amount to $13.5 million, all sealed and ready for delivery to your designated address. To proceed, kindly Reconfirm the required information by emailing it to the appointed FBI special agent, Mr. Jordan Scott who is in charge of the delivery to your designated address ([email protected]) .Full Name: .DOB: Date of birth .Gender: .Occupation Or If Retired: .Phone Number: .Home Address: Nearest Airport: . Driver's License or any government-issued ID, along with a separate photo or selfie holding your ID to ensure that both images clearly identify the same person to whom the assistant deputy director will be delivering the funds. This is very important for the safety of your funds, ensuring they are not delivered to the wrong person. Below are the contact details of the assigned FBI diplomatic delivery agent: Name: Mr. Jordan Scott, Representative of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, FBI California, USA. Email ([email protected]) Agent Security Number: 0115 For proper clarification, please make sure to include the Agent Security Number 0115 and the compensation amount along with Deputy Director Christopher G. Raia in your email subject line. Phone/Text Number: +1 (213) 986-3360 Text only. Once Mr. Jordan Scott receives this information and the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) clearance fee, he will proceed with the delivery of your inheritance funds of $13,500,000 to your designated address, with an estimated time period of 48 hours. The only fee you will need to pay is $595.00 to the office of the Assistant United States Attorney (AUSA) for the fund release certificate of clearance for your inheritance funds. This certificate must be obtained using the information you provided and then signed by the AUSA department, which will indicate that the inheritance funds have been fully claimed and are ready for delivery. Mr. Jordan Scott will guide you on how to proceed with the payment once you contact him with the required information mentioned above. I would like to reassure you of the 100% legitimacy of these funds, as we will not be involved in any fraudulent act and will never be. Thank you in advance for your cooperation. Christopher G. Raia FBI Deputy Director. office located at 935 Pennsylvania Ave NW, Washington, DC 20535, United State

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

There is a full website for this company and you will receive a confirmation email after you place an order. Then you’re asked to text a number for instructions to pay through Chime. From there it got shady and I should have trusted instincts and refused payment. They stopped responding after they got my money, then texted “do as you wish” when I communicated that I was going to report them. Full on scam.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Online Hotel Booking Scam

I called the number on the website that I believed was the number for the Hampton Inn. An AI voice bot took all my information (Clue: She reeled off long bits of policy without pausing to listen well for an answer as a normal person would). Clues she wasn't legit: Didn't take AAA. Didn't allow for cancellation a few days before--had to do a full night's deposit, etc. I asked if at the beginning she was from Hampton Inn and she said yes, she was from reservations. I asked if she was AI & she protested that she was a real person. When I tried to cancel the reservation, the first person said they didn't have it. The second one hung up on me. And the 3rd one said she'd try to cancel it after I told her I was reporting the company to you. However, the receipt (which showed my purchase in Russian rubles) indicated that I'd still be responsible for paying for a full night. After I realized I'd been scammed, I canceled my credit card and will challenge the charges. The number I called for help was the one listed as such on the website (very misleading): Hampton Inn & Suites Williamsburg Historic District 911 Capitol Landing Rd, Williamsburg, VA, 23185, US +1-757-991-0936
