This is a new type of scam. I have found four companies now using this technique. Home Depot, walmart, Lowes, Dollar General are having an outside person(s) say there are hidden costs inside the store despite the price it says on the tag. they will list the item (lets say a barbecue) and say the cost is $294 but the hidden cost is $30 or less and run into the store before they are sold out. And if you want to know more hidden deals to subscribe to their channel on Discord or request to join their Facebook page. All of these transactions can be found using the company app on your phone and a person will show you what the item ended up costing by showing the receipt. I have been following these people for months now and I spent hours trying to track down these hidden sales. with dollar general they call it penny sales where an item is supposedly on sale for a penny but the tag will show the regular price. This is bate and switch in its purest form. It draws people in thinking they are going to get this great deal but there is not deal. all items are still at their regular price but now we have driven to the store, spend money, and then leave thinking we need to get in there sooner. dollar general actually removes their penny items the night before. i have been told by dollar general employees this very thing. i have never found a sale as provided by these supposed scammers.

I was approached via email that my resume came up on LinkedIn and they ESTEVE were interested in speaking with me. They asked that I join them on discord and answer interview questions. I am looking for remote work using LinkedIn. The thing that seemed odd was them wanting to connect via LinkedIn. Once the question interview started I suspected I was speaking with a bit but proceeded as I am desperate for work. The person gave their name as Helle Uhl which was also a red flag. I did a search online and saw position results. I looked at their website and it was convincing. When I decided to come to BBB was when the person asked me to send their secretary Steve hamil and email with my name address phone number and email address. I did this, again because I'm desperate for work and these details are published. The person asked which banking institution I used and I told them. Then they said they would be sending me funds to purchase the materials needed for training. That's when I was certain this was a scam and stopped the conversation. By then tho they had my personal details and the name of the bank I use...

A person on discord used the name Servant Leader to text message me about crypto trading. He was impersonating someone else with that name. He asked me to use the phantom app to purchase crypto and to also setup an account on apextradecapitals.com on May 26, 2025. I setup the account and sent the crypto funds to allow copy trading. However the next day on May 27 I discovered that it was a scam and so I attempted to withdraw my funds from the website but was not successful.

This is what they said to me Okay Good the amount of the check is $2000 while your cut from the money would be $500, then you will be sending the remaining $1500 to the painting organization so they can deliver the Paint materials for me to start the Artwork project that all easy hope you understood. They never asked for any personal information…..

I JOINED DISCORD TO FOLOW ALONG WITH A COACH HOPING TO DO SOME TRADING BUT IT SEEMES AS IF THE PERPETRATOR HAS DUPLICATED THE COCHES SYSTEM TO MAKE IT SEEMS LIKE HES THE ACTUAL COACH INSTEAD. THEN THEY HAD ME DOWNLOAD AND SIGNUP FOR A PLATFORM BY THE NAME OF optimatrdaealgorithm.com. Seems as I I can only send funds but not withdraw them . I WAS TOLD THAT THE FUNDS WERE BEING TIED UP IN A TRADE SO I WAS ADVISED NOT TO WITHDRAW FUNDS. IN ORDER TO WITHDRAW FUNDS THERE IS A CODE NEEDED. IVE BEEN ASKING FOR THE CODE FOR WEEKS AND HAVENT GOTTEN ONE YET. WEBSITE LOOKS VERY PROFESSIONALLY MADE.

To Whom It May Concern, This is Calvin. I am writing to report a suspected financial crime involving an online prop trading firm named ForexPropFirm.com. I believe this company is operating a Ponzi scheme under the guise of a prop trading business. They are misleading users, taking deposits, and failing to honor withdrawals or payouts. The firm appears to be paying early users with funds from new ones, with no legitimate trading activity behind the scenes. My Experience: - I joined their funded trading challenge to access capital. - I successfully met their requirements, but when I requested a payout after meeting their requirements, I received either no response, delayed tactics, or an arbitrary disqualification. - There is no transparency about where funds go, and numerous users online have reported identical behavior, suggesting a broader pattern of fraud. Red Flags Noticed: - Promised payouts are not delivered even after evaluations are passed. - Support either ghost clients or provide generic excuses. - Users cannot make replies or comments inside their community on Discord, Telegram, etc. - Large volumes of online complaints show a trend of fake reviews, suspicious sudden bans, and account resets to avoid paying users. - This is consistent with Ponzi scheme behavior, where early users are paid using newer users’ money. User Review: https://youtu.be/9GFIxy2coXA?si=Hva41ir4DM6geVJ8? Trust Pilot: TrustPilot: https://www.trustpilot.com/review/forexpropfirm.com ForexPropFirm.com operates as a Ponzi Scheme and violates consumer protection laws. Many individuals may have already been defrauded, and others are at risk unless urgent action is taken. Thank you for your time and attention. Sincerely, Calvin Fu [email protected]

I purchased "AI Max" through AppFlowy.com, but the feature was never activated on my account despite successful payment. Multiple attempts to contact AppFlowy support via Twitter, email ([email protected]), GitHub, and Discord have been unsuccessful, with response selectivity adding to my dissatisfaction.

Seller directed me to message on discord as easier means to communicate, we spoke about the deal then I was directed to said website (https://accgame1.com/store/miranda/) to purchase the two phone game accounts that’s were being sold. I was directed to get Steam gift cards 70$ worth then to proceed with the order, upon doing so never received a confirmation email then was told that it needed to be EU currency & not USD then tells me that the money will be refunded but now I need to send it in the EU to get what I was expecting to receive from the website which they sell on.

Someone messaged me on twitter that I was accidentally “reported” for doing phishing and I need to contact someone on Discord to uplift my ban. Ended up taking my account information and hacked my X (Twitter) Account. While so, they wanted me to give them $500 to ensure that I did not send any money with malicious intent. Luckily I didn’t, I just lost access to my X account in the end.

Say Intentions AI is a program for flight simulation for ATC, cabin crews, missions, etc. However, Brian Shellabarger, the owner, will outright ban you from using this service if you have any difficulties and either do not wish to use Discord and need support or in my case being blind and what got me banned was when Discord and Jaws had an issue on my computer and the only way I could reach out for support is by using the support e-mail address when all voices quit one December day. So, after that I did some major digging, and what is following is disturbing. What is on all of my bank statements is Say Again Solutions, LLC out of Cave Creek, AZ. I looked this company up through Arizona's Business Registration search, and Say Again Solutions, LLC does not exist. That is fraud. Then I discovered Say Intentions AI registered in Utah by Brian Shellabarger.
