Phishing - Phishing Call

I received a phone call from this number stating that i had a past due bill from 2021 in collections from a hospital I have never visited. They threatened garnishment of my wages too. I declined such debt/bill and told them I have not been to that hospital. The said they would investigate further into the matter. When I called them again, they kept dropping the call, I was going to demand a detailed bill/summary of said charges, but now I know its a scam!!! They had my personal information though such as name, phone number and address.

Debt Collections - Gilbert Law Firm

On September 17, 2026, I received a fraudulent debt-collection email from Marie Scott ([email protected]) claiming I owed $2,979.61. The message used fabricated identifiers (Form SC/2026/25225/2158702, Case CNU-15-A-356987) and false legal threats, including a civil complaint (CR-2984351), arrest warrant, wage garnishment, and credit reporting. It pressured payment through “settlement proposals” and directed me to [email protected]. The email falsely claimed to be from “Gilbert Law Firm LLC.” This is a clear fraudulent debt-collection scam using intimidation and impersonation to solicit money.

Retail Business - Fast Towing Services Denver

Called towing company for a tow at 4pm. Said they would send someone out in 45 min. Placed key in car and left doors unlocked. Had not heard anything by 6pm about any updates. Called the number with no answer. Got a text right afterwards from another number stating they were at a roll over accident and we would be next. Asked for someone to call and did not receive an answer. I texted again around 8 since car still wasn’t at drop off location. The driver never called only used text messaging saying they were busy. Texted back and forth around 9 still no car and it had not even been picked up yet. Person texted at 9:18 said they were 45 min away. Waited until 10:15 still no car. Attempted to call the number again with no answer and only another text saying they were 10 min from even picking up the car still. At this point myself and my husband were done and exhausted and I texted to tell them forget it and I wanted a refund since they had already taken my payment. Still no call even when I asked for someone to call me. Only communication was through text very frustrating. In the end I cancelled because I wasn’t going to wait up all night for them to screw me around. Tried calling the business number the next morning with no answer and again only a text message asking if we needed roadside assistance. Texted to let them know I needed a refund and for someone to call and again to phone call returned from company and only texts through yet another number.

Counterfeit Product - Slimsoda

This company is a scam. The product doesn’t work and when I try to get a hold of customer service they have me going in circles. They won’t give me back my refund even though it says I have 60 days! I’ve asked numerous times for help. There is no management that has ever gotten back to me on the several times I have tried. This cost so much money and they still won’t give me a return address or a manager.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Fake Home Warranty Expiration Notice - Phishing Scam

I received a very serious looking letter from this fraudulent mortgage company telling my my home warranty is at risk and I need to call to verify my information. To find out why they sent me this scam letter, I called the #, no one picked up. I called again and said they didn’t address the letter to the correct homeowner. The person on the phone said it doesn’t matter then and hung up. Clearly this is a scam company trying to scare people into buying “home warranty”.

Phishing - Conventional Home Lender

I received "FINAL NOTICE" from Conventional Home Lender through mail. I have never had nor have I every looked into a home warranty contract/insurance. This made my wife nervous and because it also mentioned; "your mortgage lender's requirements for your current loan, you may be required to have a home warranty in place at all times to stay compliant. "This notice is to inform you that we have been trying to contact you and have not been able to, regarding the property's home warranty at **** ********** ***** **** ****** ** *********** secured by **CONVENTIONAL HOME LENDER - PLEASE CAL TO VERIFY**. Please contact us immediately to verify your information. Our records indicate yo have not CALLED US YET, to verify that your home warranty is still in place and protecting you. Your home warranty may have already expired, if it is has, you be financial liable for any and all repairs needed for your home." I am providing the Better Business Bureau in the hope that someone may have received the same type of notice I did and fall for calling that them. PS we have not had a mortgage for decades.

Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Chase Bank Imposter - Fake Fraud Alert - Phishing Scam

Received a call from someone claiming to be with Chase Security, about 2 attempted Zelle transfers earlier in the day originating in Texas (I'm in NY).They said my phone number was used so the transfer was flagged. He gave me "cancellation void codes" and a "case ID reference number" and then attempted to transfer me to "Zelle" so I can give them the void codes. At several times I asked for clarification, because I couldn't understand why I needed to do that; the story didn't quite add up. I declined to be transferred & told him that I would call back the number on my caller ID at a later time.
