Identity Theft - Fake Loan Application Vishing and Identity Theft Scam

I continuous receive 2-4 phone calls a day from various numbers stating that "I have a loan ready to be funded $60,000 +/- They need to confirm a few details to release the paperwork for the funding to move forward. They provide various call back numbers and they are there until 6 p.m. Or I can press 7 to opt out of future calls." I have not taken out a loan nor have I attempted to select 7 to opt out. I do not want to engage in anyway with them. I have over 20+ numbers blocked for this one message. The caller is a robot. Numbers called from: 835-251-0851, 645-213-8584, 518-309-0289, 502-925-1838, 941-940-7906, 888-766-4808, 206-453-2329, 517-350-9625, 445-315-5838, 254-505-9618, 325-326-6998, 620-997-7893, 616-374-2359, 440-372-2682, 986-800-0359, 401-267-7038, 216-537-1810, When is enough enough?

Online Purchase

On September 29th 2025, I ordered from and online company called Olympia Gold . My partner had ordered from them before two different times. There were no problems and the products ordered came from Ontario. This was my first time ordering from them and the products were supposed to be coming from Ontario. I paid the money via E transfer the same day. They took my money, including shipping immediately. Then over a week later told us, the products had to be brought via the USA . They then asked for $150 on top of what had been paid - for insurance. I could not afford to pay extra and that was not told to me at purchase. I have tried endlessly to talk to someone from the company via both the email given and the email address that took my e transfer. They also have a What’s app, I have tried all three ways to talk to them and have gotten no response. It’s now November and still no contact, no money back and no product delivered .It was supposed to be a 24-48 hr delivery.

The scammer submitted a charge of $7.55 as an Apple.com charge to my Bank of America card. I received a notice from a fake Bank of America telephone number of 800-833-6262 for me to call.to verify the charge. I initially called the number, but I hung up quickly. I immediately received a call from a publishing company, NTVB, 609-810-8156, which was blocked because I block all unknown callers on my phone. I have not approved any charges to my card from this company. I immediately called the Bank of America number on the back of my card and reported this as fraud. This happened after I used my Apple Pay at a Subway restaurant the previous day. I now have to get a new credit card. It is aggravating. I hope that anyone else receiving this type of notification will be aware that this is a scam.

Debt Collections

They say it is a courtesy call and act like an agent will come to the house to serve you or at your work. They imply if they do not hear back that day, they will move forward. When I reported the junk/spam call, it was a day or two later I received another one. I copied and pasted the phone number they leave for you to call back and found a BBB report of spam. One person said they had attempted to reach out to their family members and get them upset. A day after I saw this post on the BBB site, my husband walked into the room and showed me his phone. He told me to listen to the voicemail, and it was the same person, with the same verbage but this time stated it was $8,000.00 that I was responsible for paying. I told him what I discovered and to delete it. Today, I contacted the Better Business Bureau myself and spoke to someone. They suggested to put it here and thanked me for not talking to anyone that called for my safety and help others be aware of the extreme these people go to and what scam is going on in my area right now. The number they have you call back is different than the one they call from. It looks local from where they are calling from, but the call back number is 866-448-3953. Be careful and God Bless!

Government Agency Imposter - Process Server Scam

Potential Scammer identified self as Hampton City Process Servers calling for my husband ******************. I said “He's not available, what is this about?" "That's confidential" I asked for number he could call for further information. She said call Attorney Wendy Smith at 888-409-0446 and reference Case #: 4563191CV. Upon hanging up I googled both the caller # and the Attorney Wendy Smith #, and neither turned up identifiable to the situation. I googled Hampton City Process Servers and the name did not show up. Nor did it show up on a list of process servers for Hampton, VA. What bothered me the most was that she dared say "Have a Blessed day".! I didn't get callers name, as I initially was in a state of panic. I never answer Unknown calls. In this case, since I was at an angle, instead of sliding to ignore call I slid to answer it. Maybe it was good I did because if I can stop them traumatizing someone else, good! PS. I'm a retired Paralegal, so I was tempted to call Wendy Smith and find out what I had to do to prevent my sick husband from further action, but decided I'd leave it up to the professionals. I did not contact law enforcement either. I am surprised that they didn't proceed with me as they had a live person on the line! That made me wonder if perhaps they were legit, but google proved otherwise.

Retail Business - Spiritual Advisor Scam - Psychic Scam

Civil complaint over a sum of $800 in paid services that were never received. In the body of this statement is the story of my professional involvement with the defendant. On Sunday October 12th, I searched for a “spiritual guide” on Google Maps in hopes of finding clarity to uncertainties in my life. I found Sylvia Marks’ shop "Williamsburg Psychic Visions and Life Coach,” located on 494 Grand St, Brooklyn, NY 11211. I came into her office for a tarot deck reading. I saw her young child running around and I believed I could trust her because she was a woman, and a mother. When we started chatting, she discussed the prices of her services, and she recommended a psychic reading for $120 and a 3rd Party Removals for $650. She assured me with her “talents” she has helped many people improve their lives. I was hoping I would come in, find what I was looking for and move on with my life. But in me, she saw a steady income if she convinced me I needed a lot of help from her over a period of time. She said that before I am allowed to cleanse myself physically and spiritually, I needed to do a candle “lighting,” which will give her more information on my current life. She initially tried to sell me her “Full Body Cleansing for a total of $2,500. When I walked into her store I was not expecting to spend that much money so I was a little hesitant, but she said she wanted to help me and could “work out” a few “discounts” and we agreed that for 1) a reading, 2) a “cleanse” and 3) a candle lighting, she would charge me $500 if I sent her $500 through Zelle. And so, I did. She then told me I needed to go home, light the candle, take a picture and then come back to the store. I thought she would “cleanse” me then, but she said that the candle would need to finish burning for her to read into my life. Afterwards, I went home after I gave her $500. I hoped that the services would be fulfilled the next time I saw her. She also affirmed she would give me the information when the candle was done burning. So, I held tight until then. Trusting, believing, hopeful When the candle was done burning, I went to her shop on Saturday October 25th, where she said that my candle indicated that I had encountered a soulmate and in order for me to have love in my life I needed a candle to cut love ties from my past that were preventing me from succeeding. She also said that she could not do the cleansing until I do another lighting, a “love tie lighting” because “there was still so much negativity and darkness in my life.” So now I’m at a crossroads because according to her I am not apt for the cleansing I had been waiting for since October 12th. If she knew she would not be doing the cleansing since the moment I stepped in and it was a process of purification, why would she charge me for the cleaning on the first day? Why would she purposefully delay the process? Did she want me to forget what we had agreed on so that she can manipulate me with her well-practiced script? When I was already under visible stress and disappointment, she proceeded to pressure me more and told me only had “one candle left” and that someone might take it from me today. She said that she usually sells it for $650 but she would give it to me for $350. Scared and desperate, I asked her if she would help me if I sent her $300 because I wasn’t expecting to spend more money on her again. But she said I HAD to send the money that day for her to set it aside for me and so that she can start working. And so, I did and sent her proof so that she starts helping me like she promised. For this “Love Tie lighting,” she said I had to send her 7 wishes as the candle will burn for 7 days and 7 nights. I drafted my 7 wishes on Sunday, 26th, which would mean this “service” would be complete on Sunday, November 2nd. I thought that this would be the last time she would try to take more money from me, and I believed she would finally complete her duty. So, I complied with all her requests and waited for time to pass. At this moment, I was being hopeful that she was being honest and was actually working. But I began to hesitate because there was no proof of her completing this service. She would easily lie and get away with it because I wasn’t holding her accountable. But as a paying customer, I was trusting she wouldn’t drag her reputation on the floor for petty cash… Nevertheless, I waited faithfully for the week to pass and on Saturday, November 1st, I asked her when I could go see her and she told me I should go that day because she would be busy on Sunday. I proceeded to visit her shop for the third time on Saturday November 1st. During that visit, I inquired about the price breakdown, since I had already given her a sum of $800. I also wanted to see when I was going to be “ready” for the “cleansing” that I had already paid for on my very first visit on October 12th. In response, she said that there was still “darkness” in my life and needed more candles before I could do a cleansing. Additionally, she said that I still owed her another $500 for the cleansing… I felt so offended because, at that moment I knew she was trying to confuse me, and gaslight me on purpose, right in front of my face. She wanted me to doubt myself and all we had agreed on Oct. 12th. She said that I had to send her a deposit before I left the store, but I told her that I had just paid my rent and all of my bills and didn’t even have $500 on my checking account. I even showed her my banking app so that she could see that I wasn’t being cheap or lying to her. When she saw my debit card balance, she said, “you have to put some money down today, even if it’s $200, $100 or $50, if not all of the work that I have done will reverse on you.” Imagine she was instilling fear in someone even more vulnerable than me. This is textbook scamming, applying pressure and fear upon the victim. This was all on purpose. This was all a part of her tactics. She analyzed me and took advantage of me, and I am so ashamed that she got away with it. In order to prove that she wasn’t being truthful I asked her to send me evidence of the $300 “love tie lighting” she said she had done from Sunday October 25th through November 2nd. She affirmed the ritual was underway. She ignored my text all throughout Sunday and also on Monday November 3rd. Finally, that Monday I accepted that she had scammed and lied to me for the price of $800 with no respect for her “work,” her reputation and her promises. I know that these types of people love to take advantage of vulnerable souls like me, looking for answers, or meaning and this is the part that breaks my heart. I let her know that I would not like to continue my professional relationship with her because of her evident lies. I am not a bitter person because I know it destroys me first. I put out into the world what I wish to receive, which is truth and honesty. When I walked into Sylvia’s store I did not wish for our relationship to turn sour, I could not imagine that someone so dishonest could be a mother, but this is what she caused with the sloppy way she does business. However, I do believe in analyzing the circumstances that lead us to making our decisions and in learning from one’s mistakes. I have to make peace with my choices, even if they are not the wisest or the most informed. I forgive myself for not knowing better. I accept that my own judgement failed me, for I am still young and inexperienced. I learned that I should not allow myself to be consumed by my desire to know all the answers because most likely, the answers are within. Although I am brave enough to face my own shortcomings, I am exposing her from a place of respect; Respect for myself, my money, and my time. It’s not just the money I lost, it’s the lies I blindly entertained, the deceit and the manipulation she fed to me on a silver platter. Taking advantage of truth-seekers leading them into more debt and darkness and feeding her child with that same stolen money. How can she have pride in that? You cannot abuse people in the name of magic. If it happened to me, it WILL happen to others. I refused to be complicit now that I know the tactics of a scammer. Even though it is most likely that I will not receive my money back, I honor my frustration because it is my antenna which I know will only get sharper from here on. I am learning with love, I am losing with love, I am walking away with peace. Yet, I write because I am brave to fight for justice because justice is the epitome of the survival of our collective undying hope.

There is a company called Futario on Facebook and Instagram. They also have a website. They purport to sell women's clothing. I made two separate orders from them within about a ten day time period. They immediately charged my debit card. However, over a month later and the orders still have not shipped. They appear to have a customer service email. The person, Yoni, I appear to be emailing just continued to tell me the orders were coming and continued to offer me discount codes for more orders. When I finally requested the orders be cancelled and I full refund (after reading many online reports about this company being a scam), Yoni refused and claimed that the first order shipped after I requested the full refund. I was provided with no tracking information or no evidence that the order shipped. The second order I was charged for is not even showing as in process in my account with them. They have no phone number and no address. Do not order from this company!! I reported them to META and will report them to the Attorney General's Office for my state.

Online Purchase

I was looking for a local service to clean my chimney, so I searched for recommendations on Facebook in a local group. In response to one post looking for a chimney cleaner, multiple people had endorsed Echo Home Service as a family company that did good work for reasonable prices. Now I see that the profiles of those "people" were suspect. So I made an appointment and the price was good. The person that I made the appointment with had a foreign accent. No one showed up the day of the appointment. I called and they apologized and rescheduled. No one showed up on that day either. The workman texted me himself and told me that they hadn't put me on his schedule, but he could come first thing on Sunday at 8am. He showed up at about 11. He and another guy who both looked like body builders. They were dressed entirely in black with nice clean athletic shoes and soft hands. Their truck was shiny, newish and had no writing on it. They used an iphone to look up my chimney. Then they went to the roof with the one ladder that they brought. They came down with good news and bad news. The chimney was clean but I had some cracks in the top part. He could fix it for a mere $800. So against my better judgment I let them go up and they smeared some mortar type caulk around on the cement around the chimney. When they came down shortly after going up, they demanded payment. I made it clear to them that I though they were defrauding me. I went in my house to call my son and in the meantime, the two Russians speeded off in their black truck. I haven't heard from them but they sawed on my chimney crown and smeared sealant around as if they were fingerpainting. They wasted my time and I'm not sure if they sabotaged my chimney when they went up in the first place. I had a home inspection before this.

Online Purchase - Online purchase not received

I placed an order early October 2025 for discounted clothing/accessories from CHICO women's clothing store, or so I was led to believe. The order tracking system was all in Chinese but was able to do English translation. Seemed legitimate until it indicated that my order was delivered on 10/30/25, but I received nothing. I was in contact with the "company" throughout the order process, informing them the order was never delivered. I was told today that i cannot get a refund, and that the items are now out of stock, but I can pay another $15 to re order to obtain the items in 25 days. I can provide the order number if needed.

Online Purchase

There is a Facebook Profile for "Labubu Labubu Mart" that posts Labubus that are for sale. I saw one I wanted and used Facebook Messenger to contact the person. They requested $35 for the product and $10 shipping paid through Apple Pay to the phone number 224-210-3463. After sending this they gave me a tracking number and a link to a tracking website, https://goldentracklinelogistics.com/. This website appears to be the second part of the scam. After entering the tracking number, the website said the product was coming from Pennsylvania. A few days later the product was "on hold". I received 2 emails from the website. The first said that the package had cleared customs. The second said that the product was "on hold". Using a shipping service for a Labubu that is not UPS, USPS, or FedEx was one red flag. The follow up emails that talked about customs for a product apparently coming from inside the United States was another red flag. I contacted the seller on Facebook messenger where they proceeded to say the shipping company needed $50 to release the product, and that money would be refunded after delivery. I did not pay this. They said they would pay $30 and only needed $20. I would not pay this. They gave a sob story about not having money to get the product released and that they would try to borrow $10 from their nephew so they would only need $10 from me. I asked for a refund. They said okay, then continued to ask for money to get the product released. They assured me the product would be delivered. Apple Pay could not refund the transactions because it's a peer to peer transfer. I reported this to Facebook, but there is not a place to put details. I replied to the email from the tracking company and they responded with a higher price, $105, and said it was for insurance on a discreet package. The exact wording on the email was: WE WOULD LIKE TO INFORM YOU THAT YOUR PACKAGES , TRACKING NUMBER#GTLXXXXXXXXX23-CARGO IS CURRENTLY ON HOLD AND REQUIRES INSURANCE AND DIPLOMATIC STAMPING. THIS IS DUE TO THE FACT THAT THE PACKAGE HAS BEEN REGISTERED AS A DISCREET SHIPMENT, AND WE PRIORITIZE CONFIDENTIALITY BY AVOIDING STANDARD CUSTOMS CHECKS. TO PROCEED WITH THE DELIVERY, A REFUNDABLE INSURANCE FEE OF $105 IS REQUIRED TO ENSURE THE PACKAGE CONTINUES IN TRANSIT. PLEASE NOTE; THIS FEE IS FULLY REFUNDABLE UPON DELIVERY AND SERVES AS PROTECTION AGAINST ANY UNFORESEEN CIRCUMSTANCES. THANKS YOU FOR USING OUR SERVICE

Artswardrobe had beautiful clothes in an ad online, so I purchased a few things. I waited a couple weeks and it didn’t come, so I looked it up and there were lots of complaints about them online. At this point I reached out and asked for the order to be canceled since it hadn’t been shipped yet. A few days later they emailed me, not acknowledging my cancellation request, saying they had just shipped it. When it came, it was completely different than in the pictures. I have asked them for a refund, sent pictures to them, they asked me to wait 5-7 days for them to review my refund request. They didn’t get back to me so 10 days later I reminded them that I’m still waiting and they wrote back saying I need to pay for it to be shipped back to china and would I consider a 20% coupon instead?

I was notified by someone saying I was going to be served papers from a past due debt from several years ago. They said my car would be taken after I paid it off, and they would be garnishing my wages, and checking account if I did not pay that day. They said I was going to be served papers to go to court the next day, and the total would go from $2725.72 to over $11,000 due to attorney fees, etc. After looking at my credit reports a few hours later, this so called debt isn't even on my credit reports in collections or closed. I was scammed out of the money from my credit card and debit card. They presented themselves as MSM Portfolio, and Kenswick Law Group.
