Date of Incident: September 9, 2025 Website Involved: https://deafen.mysellauth.com/ Discord Server: discord.gg/deafen Scammer Discord Display Name: LilNate / Trust Scammer Discord Username: offerlife Victim Discord Display Name: ***** Victim Discord Username: ********nyx Amount Paid: $133 USD Payment Method: Bitcoin via Cash App Bitcoin Address: bc1qpnjczk567uvgauxvzsags3yg8hc4g2t2c6wuhy Contact Email: ********************************* Scammer Phone Number: Unknown Scammer Email: Unknown Scammer Country: Unknown (suspected USA due to threats made on Discord)

Description of Incident: On September 9, 2025, I purchased a Roblox account for $133 USD from the website https://deafen.mysellauth.com/ , paying via Bitcoin through Cash App to the address listed above. After completing the payment, I never received the account or any confirmation from the seller. I then received an invoice email inviting me to join the Discord server discord.gg/deafen to claim the purchased items. When I opened a support ticket to address the transaction, I was immediately banned from the server without explanation. The website is still active, and I discovered that the website’s owner attempted to log my IP address. Fortunately, I was using a VPN at the time, so my real location was protected. It is evident from online reports and community discussions that this individual has scammed multiple other people using similar tactics. During an argument I had with them in Discord direct messages, they claimed to have made over $20,000 by scamming people through this website. I do not know the scammer’s country, but I suspect it may be the United States because they made threats involving guns on Discord. I also do not know their phone number or email. All attempts to contact the seller have failed, and the website continues to operate. This appears to be a deliberate scam, and I am submitting this report to document the fraudulent activity, alert others to the ongoing risk, and request assistance in recovering my funds.

Someone got in touch with me on instagram saying that my art account had been flagged and that they reported my account by accident thinking it was me bc someone had been impersonating me on instagram scamming people and sent me the discord to someone claiming to be meta support at instagram inc. there discord tag is @hummingbird_5207418, they said they needed information to prove it wasn’t me who was behind the scam to which I had to screenshare on discord and prove it by showing my bank account balance and recent transactions and that I had to do the same on my cashapp, and after answering all there questions and proving that I was innocent they continued to repeatedly say that if I didn’t comply with the protocol/ process that I would do Jail time of 20 years and proceeded to scare me into pulling $500 dollar out of my bank account to which I refused that much and the lowered it to $100 saying that I had to transfer it into bitcoin and send it to there link to prove that the account the money came from wasn’t the same as the one that was scamming people, and so I sent $90 bitcoin to there link and then after them not immediately receiving the money tried to get me to send more money to which I said no and that they could delete the art account if that’s what they needed to do but that I wasn’t sending anymore money until they refunded the other like they had said they would but they said they couldn’t refund unless they had the refund information so they could proceed with the rest of the investigation but I didn’t have the refund information and didn’t know how to get to it either and they proceeded mentioning that if I didn’t comply that I could go to court and testify my case or do 20 years of prison and at that moment I knew it was a scam and blocked them and deleted the discord account, I never done commissions on my account and keep my bank and money related things off of social media and made sure to state this in the messages, I wasn’t sure what else to do or how to make sure my accounts and everything were safe I really hope you guys can help me with this I included a image of the screenshot I got of the scammers account I’m not sure if that’s enough information but I only thought to get a screenshot of there account profile

I was invited to a Discord server where a “verification bot” requested that I log in with my Microsoft account to prove my identity. The bot asked for my email and the security code sent by Microsoft. After entering the code, a scammer used it to hijack my Microsoft account, lock me out, and change my recovery information. Shortly after, the scammer contacted me on Discord under the username “onlygabie” (aka “-c-”) and admitted to having control of my account. They demanded a $15 ransom to return it. The same individual is also associated with the Hypixel username “oWRLD.” This scam targets Microsoft accounts, especially gamers, by tricking people into handing over legitimate verification codes. Victims lose access to their accounts, games, and purchases. Please be aware that no legitimate service will ever ask you to provide a Microsoft verification code in Discord or any third-party app.

I thought this would have been a legitamate company and be helpful and have good coaching for my specific business needs. However it turns out this company is very unprofessional, the coaches even the head coaches and Founder himself do not have a deep enough understanding of what they are trying to teach to sell a course let alone coaching. The way they handle people in there discord community is horrific at best and they will pretty much just blow you off or flat out ignore you. They are the least helpful and least knowledgable company I have ever come accross. When you have a complaint to them about there incedibly subpar company you just get a run around. They have a no refund policy so that should have been the first clue they dont know what they are talking about and there courses and company are beyond a disapointment, and subpar. If your good at what you do and know what your talking about probably wouldnt be very worried about people wanting refunds, either you educate people or you can use it to make enough money where you dont need other peoples money. Basically a complete scam and they really shouldnt exist as a company, especially for the lack of knowledge of what they are "teaching". Terrible expierence and completly incompotent, and that goes for pretty much everyone at this company, if you can even call it that. At Tradacc they like to make a half hearted ignorant attempts to teach specific tools and have a such a little understanding about them that it is more damaging then it is helpful. Complete waste, complete incompatence, complete ignorance. Not even worth 10 dollars let alone the 10 thousand. Everything I said goes for there coaching and the discord community also not just the courses.

I am reporting a Reddit server that is actively selling counterfeit Nike, Louis Vuitton, Gucci, etc. replicas. The server promotes and facilitates illegal commerce involving knock-off products designed to imitate official branded items. These goods are being sold through Discord channels, with payment processed via Paypal. I believe this is a violation of your terms of service regarding fraudulent activity and counterfeit sales. Server name: https://www.reddit.com/r/QualityReps/ Payment method advertised: Paypal Please investigate and take action to block, ban, or report the individuals involved.

So I was contacted through my university email for a supposed part time job from a "Jennifer Mena". Her message was this: "Dear Students and Staff!!! Work at your convenience and earn $650 weekly. It's a Flexible part-time job. All the tasks are work from home/on campus job, you don't need to travel somewhere, and you don't need to have a car to get started. To know more about the position, apply below. To apply for this position, click myuniversity.edu Application will be received, and you will get a response between 2- 24 hours Regards, Office of Student Financial Aid Academy Career Opportunity." I was then sent emails impersonating Daisy Szabo, and told to get in contact with Doug Treff in through Discord in order to complete certain tasks. They asked me to deposit checks into my bank account, which I did not do, but the scam was clearly very elaborate.

I ordered 3 different times within the same time frame from this business. It’s been 1.5 years and I have yet to receive my order. The customer service email has been written to a total of 13 different times with no response. When I found a discord the owner runs, and asked about a refund he told me it’s not his responsibility, my package was lost through USPS and he basically clowned and berated me instead of offering any sort of help. I spent almost $200, and have yet to receive a refund or any of my items. There are thousands of others just like me.

Its a fraudulent Discord server named “Game Grid market”, which claims to be a marketplace for buying and selling Fortnite accounts. This platform operates on https://discadia.com/ This scam specifically targets vulnerable groups, including children and older adults, to steal money and fortnite accounts worth thousands of dollars in currency and accounts valued at thousands, they continue to evade accountability for their fraudulent activities. This is the listing: https://discadia.com/server/gamegrid-market/

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.

I got approached by a person on a discord channel pretending to be the person running the discord channel about investments. He had the same profile and nickname except from an unnoticeable punctuation. Promised me that is I followed his investment strategy I would be growing my capital by just copying his steps. He asked me to deposit 25k USD, but I refused and decided to go for 3k USD. He suggested a platform through which to run the invesment mirroring called "multitradehub.com". The website seemed somewhat legit with customer service chat. They wanted me to deposit monye via cryptocurrency, but I refused and they offered a pier-to-pier type of transaction where they have given me the contact details of a person and a bank account to which I made the wire transfer (unfortunately). Now that I wanted to withdraw my money back they do not want and they say that I have to add more money if I want to get the previous, which of course I did not do so. Here is the contact of the person I sent money to: Account Name; Shantal Ovalle Soriano Account Number; 2581354863 ACH No; 021200025 Wire Routing No; 121000248 Swift Code; WFBIUS6S Bank Address; 273 W White Horse Pike, Egg Harbor City, NJ 08215 Home address; 248 Chicago Avenue, Egg Harbor City, NJ 08215

A year ago, I met James Minh Lam on Discord and started playing **League of Legends (LoL)**. I work as a booster in the game, and he would pay me to play for him and with him, as well as to teach him how to play. After a year of this working relationship, we began collaborating on other projects. One of them involved a type of crypto loan since he mentioned having trouble opening accounts on exchanges due to being American. The arrangement worked like this: whenever he needed to transfer money to one of his employees, he would request a certain amount from me for a set number of days and, in return, would pay me a small percentage as a fee for the short-term loan. Since we had built a trusting relationship, I had his full name and address, and I knew he lived in the U.S. I never thought he would attempt any kind of scam. Over six months, he consistently made payments without issue. However, three months ago—on **December 3, 2024**—the situation changed. He suddenly stopped responding to my messages and started acting as if he didn’t owe me anything. For the past three months, I’ve been calling, messaging, and emailing both him and his assistant. They responded a few times with reassuring messages, promising they would pay me back, but they never did.

I purchased an account from this website and was delivered the wrong account, I requested either a refund or to swap the account for the one I purchased and was ignored and banned from their discord when I tried to approach them through that channel. I then did a charge back through my bank due to the seller avoiding me, and have since received harassing and threatening emails from their customer support email.

Was approached by a fake HR manager with Qualifacts about a job interview. The interview was to be a typing interview conducted on the Discord app. I was offered the job within one day via email and voicemail. The voicemail sounded suspicious so I was hesitant & did my research. The job offer email included an NDA PDF, job description PDF, and a direct deposit form which seemed suspicious this early in process. Additionally, during interview, I was told I would need to purchase a Samsung S24 as part of my job. They told me I needed to purchase the phone under my own name during onboarding and would be reimbursed on my first check.

The funded trader promised to be a prop firm where traders can pass challenges and trade with them to make money , they took my payment and then stopped operations , they started back and are still running and scamming people, they have a discord channel and look legitimate but they are just taking peoples money for the challenges but not providing the service they promise

Was approached by a fake HR manager with Qualifacts about a job interview. The interview was to be a typing interview conducted on the Discord app. I was offered the job within one day via email and voicemail. The voicemail sounded suspicious so I messaged an HR representative and hiring manager for Qualifacts via LinkedIn. The job offer email included an NDA PDF, job description PDF, and a direct deposit form which seemed suspicious this early in process. Additionally, during interview, I was told I would need to purchase a Samsung S24 as part of my job. They told me I needed to purchase the phone under my own name during onboarding and would be reimbursed on my first check.

I was emailed about a job offer with a company called world vision. The job was to be a virtual PA. I was emailed and directed to speak with someone on discord named Mr. Anderson. I spoke with him and he gave me a check of $750 to carry out a task of getting credit cards and sending him the numbers. I had done all of this and the next day my account was overdrawn by $750. I called and trying to reach out to this job and I heard nothing back.

Wild Caly makes an application called “Clutch Hit Baseball”. In the past, they have taken away certain items without discretion, lied publicly, made false promises, they also promote gambling without legitimate odds (assuming they are even displayed in which they are typically not). The most recent incident included a released player in which there was an expected price. The price was 1.25x what it was in previous examples for a product that was quite horrific. To mitigate this, they removed a player that was much cheaper and more useful saying they reached their “limit of players”. They have done this multiple times, but this was by far the largest scale. I have attempted to contact the company along with many other players, none of which have successfully gotten into contact with anyone in their development team. These singular players cost around $375 USD. The company is based in Singapore, but this game is only available in the United States. To address the gambling aspect: you are to purchase “gems” for specific players and then you get a chance at one. Gems cost $99.99 for 8000 gems. At random, you can get one of 13 items. From this list, there are no odds displayed. Each “spin” is 300 gems (equivalent of $3.75 per spin). You do not get a randomly selected item. As I said, every item has specific odds which are unlisted. In the past, these players have a guarantee at 80 spins. As of yesterday, this is now 100 spins. Out of the few people who have decided to get this player, not a single one received the star player before the 100th spin. No change was ever mentioned to the public. There are many instances of odds not being correct or not listed in any form all over the game. These gems can be directly tied to real currency. All contact with the company has been either through the game itself or on ‘Discord’.

I paid 4 payments over several months for a discord bot. They promised several features that would work flawlessly. They also offeredd website and discord hosting. They strung me along for months until they knew I couldn't claim a refund from the platform i found them on (fiverr) and that I couldn't ask for an investigation from my bank (chargeback, disputing and litigation.) I lost roughly $2000 usd. The hosting went down 25+ times in barely 5-6 months. The bot is non-functional. They have blocked further communication through fiverr and feigned ignorance recently after ghosting me for 3 months.

They blocked me on there official discord when i asked for help

Pixel Sprout Studio is a game developing company and they released the game on Nintendo switch in an unplayable state. Nintendo is telling customers to contact the dev company for refunds, and PSS is telling customers to contact Nintendo. They are deleting questions and comments in their discord regarding the horrible release and supposed patch they submitted to Nintendo. A lot of people paid roughly $30-35 for a game they cannot play and want refunds. Honestly, a lawsuit should be opened as we were scammed. The company as a whole as been sketchy and deleting the comments and going radio silent is just the start of it. They need to be held responsible for this!

Dear Better Business Bureau, I am writing to report a potential employment scam involving an individual claiming to represent a company called "Black Isle Studios." Below are the details of my experience: I initially received an email from someone identifying themselves only as "Michelle," using the email address [email protected]. Michelle instructed me to contact an individual on Discord named Samuel Zheng, whose handle is zhengonline. While this request did not raise immediate concerns, upon reflection, I found it unusual. After contacting Mr. Zheng, I provided my resume and portfolio, but no other personal information. A few days later, he informed me that I had been offered the position. However, I was told I would need to be shipped equipment for the role—equipment that I did not believe was necessary based on the skills and qualifications I had described during our communication. Specifically, I was told I would require a Safescan TA-8020 Employee Time Clock System, which would necessitate providing my fingerprints. The job offer was allegedly from "Black Isle Studios," a company that, according to multiple sources, has been defunct for some time. To verify the legitimacy of the offer, I attempted to contact the provided phone number, only to find that the line was disconnected. Given these red flags, I believe this may be an employment scam designed to collect sensitive personal information. I am sharing this information in the hopes of preventing others from falling victim to similar fraudulent schemes.

The website was shared in the VOIP application "Discord" and members were invited to go to the website to get a free $75 to gamble with. After users went to the site and won money with the "free" $75, upon cashout they are required to deposit $200 before they can.

Bro i tried to buy there software for one day and one week. (One day key) and (one week key) it loaded successfully no errors and installed. But it didnt work. I did everything their guide said.

I found a working software called has bo6 and their customer service is way better. Do not buy from isrv they will not help you, and when i complained about it he attempted to charge me 100$+ . ***** ******** ******** ***** **** ***** * **** * ************ *** ** ***** **** ***** **** * ***** ** *** ** **** *** **** *** ****** ***

David "Omari" or I think his real name is David ****** advertises he can help you grow a youtube channel but once you sign up you have access to a discord and no one helps you. The manager of the discord does not know anything about youtube and when you have questions or concerns in the group they eliminate you from the discord and no refund when asked if they can provide one. They are very slick and sneaky. NO ONE HELPS YOU WHEN YOU SIGN UP!

I got a random text on discord from a guy named matt Hendricks and he asked me if I knew anything about crypto.I told him I didn’t and he proceeded to inform me and offered copy trading for beginners. He told me I could invest 100 dollars minimum which I did, all this was done through bitcoin but then he told me that it was to low for me to follow his trades so I added 900 more dollars as he instructed me to do so.this was a three month duration plan. I accidentally made another trading plan which meant I had two different plans following him.so I had to add 500 more dollars for the second plan.i started getting hit with all of a sudden fees after a couple of days like switching to a higher frequency which cost like 2,000.After eight days the signal that is needed to copy his trades goes out and you need to pay 1300 dollars to renew it. After paying for all of this and doing more research I kept telling myself and him that it was suspicious and probably a scam, but he reassured me and gave me his word that it wasn’t. Many red flags about the website kept going down and having maintenance without notifying.So then I started doing research on him and the website found his instagram and it seemed suspicious but at the same time legit.the first month was just the two fees but after that was he had a significant lost and I had to put back what he lost 830.He switched coins on the second month to etherum and I had to add 1500 each plan so 3000 total.he started asking me if I wanted to be apart on extra trades, and I wanted to so it was 600 dollars and that made a profit of 1300.another fee came which was that one of my plans had 1000 more dollars in it and they told me that they both needed to be at the same to continue, I couldn’t afford it right away so he said that it would be paused until I can pay it.i payed it after a week in which he said that my duration was also pushed back a week.the third month he switched to lite coin and I believe I had to put 1500 in each again.two weeks later after the election it went on a bull run and because of that I had to pay 1800 in total to add a stop loss.he kept telling me everything was fine and that he will make sure everything is going good for me, he texted me almost every day out of those three months.the 1800 dollars was the last sudden charge, the. It came down to withdrawal timeNov 25. I needed to register my wallet for 460 dollars and pay a vat tax 10% which was 7600, this is when I knew my money was gone and since then he’s still texting me and trying to get me to pay it even offering installments.

I was contacted through my college email for this job position, I applied and was contacted by [email protected]. I was asked to add Doug Treff on discord, and then told that I needed to deposit a check to do my first task.

I can provide screenshots but this person (email provided named Sam Trader) wanted to buy copyrights of artworks i have made and wanted to pay me for the permissions as well as a 3rd parties matieral (discord user under the name Cheyenne Pill) initial payment was made with a 2,500 dollar check that i was able to give 2,000 to the 3rd part for their materials and remaining 500 was given to me as a copyright. All payments that were promised were given for materials but the check of 2500 was bounced on the end of the person who sent it out. I had checked the second 2500 but had only just noticed the check bounced afterwards. User dispite having done the first initial payment is now threatening law inforcement dispite the check bounced on their end. By how these conversations are going im worried this is under the actions of one person possibly laundering out money or possibly scamming people, sending to accounts that the sites like paypal and venmo have classed as "fraudulent" and insisted i use crypto instead.

They told me they would pay me to be a personal assistant, so I downloaded discord and messaged this guy. They asked me to deposit a check front and back and put it into my account.

I was On Paypal she asked me if i wanted 2k what would i use it for she made me pay multiple different accounts for a "paypal fee" and she used the same screenshosts i assumed it was a scam she showed me minor proof belived it and now im in poverty while she has my $400 my paypal is ***********************

They has now made a demanded that I would to pay settle fee and using exchange to transfer approximately $150,000.00 or 10% to Bullcopytrade.com before they will release the funds

On August 19th, 2024, I was contacted by Red Rift with a job offer to work remotely as a 3D animator. They conducted an interview with me over the Discord app and provided me with paperwork to fill out including a W-4 form and a benefits form. They also included a list of devices that would be supplied to me for the position (a laptop and a graphics tablet), and a non-disclosure agreement. It all looked very official. They required me to purchase a phone for work with the promise of reimbursement in my first paycheck and insisted the payment be through "Friends and Family" on Paypal, then required me to purchase an external hard drive with the same promise. Both payments were made to their vendor, which was a red flag (along with the requirement of using Friends and Family) but I've been searching for a job for a while and had been so excited. Then they wanted me to purchase the equipment required but were going to electronically send me two checks in advance to do so. The front and back images for the first check did not match size-wise, and I realized it was a fake check. I had to freeze my credit last night, then filed disputes through Paypal (who did nothing to help me), and called to report the scam to my bank this morning. I'm currently in the long, awful process of trying to get my money back and stopping them from stealing my identity. They've scammed me out of $1,199.99 in total before I caught them.

I am writing to file a formal complaint against a company called Echo Labs, which is advertising fraudulent job opportunities in the transcription industry. Echo Labs claims to offer transcription jobs where individuals are responsible for transcribing old videos for closed captioning. However, after completing significant work for the company, I and many others have discovered that this is a scam. Echo Labs—led by their CEO Edward Aguilar—operates through a rudimentary online dashboard where workers are required to log in and complete transcription tasks. The company also requires workers to create an account for payment purposes, providing financial information under the pretense that they will be compensated for their work. After completing several weeks’ worth of transcription tasks, I was suddenly locked out of my account, and my access to the dashboard was revoked. Additionally, I was banned from the company's Discord server, where they conduct their business, leaving me with no means to contact them or recover the compensation that is rightfully owed to me. I believe that Echo Labs is deliberately engaging in deceptive and unethical business practices by exploiting workers without any intention of providing payment for their services. This has resulted in significant financial and emotional distress for myself and other victims of this scam. I request that the Better Business Bureau investigate Echo Labs for these fraudulent activities and take appropriate action to prevent this company from continuing to exploit others. Additionally, I urge you to alert other potential victims by publicizing the fraudulent nature of this company. Please feel free to contact me if you require any further information or documentation regarding this complaint. I appreciate your attention to this matter and look forward to your prompt action.

I ordered 2 t shirts from this brand in March, its July now and I never received them, not even a tracking number It was a preorder so I understood it will take a month or 2 at most until orders get shipped. When they started shipping they told me it was shipped (I had to DM the brand on social media and the guy behind it) but I didnt receive a tracking number and I was told to wait. After a while I was told my order wasnts shipped, that it will be sent and same story, told to wait. Once again, nothing. My bank cant to anything about it and the brand owner doesnt reply to messages and doesnt want to give me a refund Even worse than that, there is a Discord group of us the people who ordered products and over there people are complaining, the brand owner decided to kick me out of the group and everyone else complaining about never receiving the order or about the quality of the product, for those who got theirs.

Uses the following URL to get people to join: https://max-maher.teachable.com/p/member-join After joining, asked to get a monthly subscription with FINOVA: https://finova.finance/ Once you are connected to the "Discord" you are friend requested by Max Maher. This is the location of communication, not text or email. In the "Discord" you are asked to sign up for monthly subscriptions to allow you access to group discussions on crypto trading. Not all people involved seem to be scammers, just Max Maher. However, cannot be for sure. After subscribing, Max Maher contacts you on the "FINOVA Discord" and starts pitching to have you join his brokerage firm at the following URL: https://fideicommistrading.com/ Scam: You can see on this website that there are multiple options to obtain various "plans" where people pay $3,000 - $50,000 or more! The promise is to get all the same trades from this expert brokerage firm where, no matter what, you will only lose 10% of your money to the brokerage fee/commission. The other 90% is all profit for you and you can learn how to trade crypto along the way until you are comfortable doing it yourself. Nothing on the website checked out to be legitimate. The duration of the life of the company was said to be in business since 2016 or earlier, but no signs of this. After informing Max Maher directly about confirming all this information it was always disregarded completely and he kept asking when I will sign up and everything I need is on the website. After multiple times of going back and forth to just share the information before agreeing sign up... It would never be provided and kept saying it is all on the broker's website and asking "when are you going to sign up?". And after you sign up, he'd (Max Maher) say, "tell me so I can walk you through the next steps."

The company is L MONEY ENTERPRISES LLC. Website is https://www.teamlmoney.com/. [email protected]. I signed up with L MONEY ENTERPRISES LLC through Upgrade.Chat on 6/24/2024 on discord. (L$) SPORT MODEL 5 free trial days. I never got the 5 free trial days and was charged $75 immediately. Their website did not say that I would be charged immediately. In attachment 00, you can clearly see that it says "5 free trial days then". I wanted the free 5 days trial to see if I liked the discord server. Within 30 minutes, I saw that I don't like this discord server because it doesn't place emphasis on stock trades and Live Price Targets. I wanted a refund within 30 minutes of signing up. I didn't get the 5 free trial days that I expected. There is no ticket support in this discord server. I attempted to contact them on their website within 30 minutes of joining at https://www.teamlmoney.com/ but received no response. I wanted a refund. To this day 7/10/2024, this company never responded to my email about getting my refund. They don't respond to their website and they have no ticket system in their discord group After filing a dispute, this company removed my access to discord group within one day. In attachment "no access", you can see that the cancelled date is 06/24/2024. This means that I don't have access to their discord group with the group chats, information, and resources. Now, I am paying $75.00 for nothing. My $75 is getting me access to nothing. I work hard for me money and I don't appreciate getting scammed and having my money stolen from this bad company. This is fraud and a scam that must be investigated. Since I am paying $75 and getting nothing back, I am entitled to a refund. See attached that the seller removed my access in retaliation for filing a paypal dispute. This should be a straight forward case against this bad company. I am paying $75 for nothing. This is fraud and a scam that must be investigated.
