*** ********** ... inheritance scam ...

I received an email (to my work email) impersonating my employer, requesting my personal phone number. As I was rushing to work, I didn't pay much attention to the sender's info and shared my personal number. Soon after, I received a text (new contact number), saying it was my employer and that it was their new contact info. The next day, I got a text (from the new number) requesting to get some gift cards for the employees, as a reward for their performance and I was told that I will be paid back by the end of the day. My employer usually comes to the location where I work from, twice a week, but not that today. I tried calling employer on the team's communication platform utilized at work. she said she will contact me after a meeting. I also tried calling the new number (suspect), and I got a text, "I will call you later". I purchased cards worth 2000$ (8 cards worht $250 each) as directed (via text) and shared the scratch code with the card number via text message back to the number. I got another text later on the same day, requesting to purchase 4 or 8 more cards. I didn't purchase any more as I had other meetings. After work, I contacted my employer back at her work phone which I always had and realized I had been scammed. I shared the email and all text messages with my employer and reported what happened. I called Apple Care to report the same, and they mentioned that all the cards were depleted except one.

Received a letter saying the sender was settling the estate of a person with the same last name. They stated they would settle the claim, give 10% to charity, and split the remaining 90% with me.

I bought two hats online from their website. The orders were placed but left in the status “preparing order”. After two weeks of no change in status I wrote multiple email addresses associated with the company but received no answer. I then wrote asking for a refund but still no response.

I received a random call from said company. I did everything and while I was doing everything (set up account, take picture of Id and a selfie holding the ID as well, etc) I had a feeling like it’s fake. Something told me to check my email and apparently, they emailed me the day before they called. But the email went straight to my spam. Coincidence? I’m not sure. Oh and also, they use a W-4 form.

They used Stripe as the payment service. Did not respond to emails regarding order untul 6 months later and legal action was threatened.
