I received a text stating there was an issue with a Zelle or Quickpay asking if I initiated this transfer. It asked me to reply YES OR NO. I answered No. I immediately got a phone call from some man asking about the situation and I told them I don’t have an account with Bellco (both my kids do however along with their Dad and Grandma). He then asked if I had an account with Bank of America. I said no. Then he asked what bank do you have? He hung up after I said I’m not giving you that information

My grandma found this website on facebook costcoutlet.com . She was very excited to see a big nativity set for 29.99. She bought it & never received it. She received an email but all the links are scam websites & none of the numbers work.

KEY ISSUES * Longtime neighbor, Scott Weaver, during a house fire from a windstorm. Shows up as we were pulling away after we evacuated. SCOTT told the cda fire department he was the owners son .....the department didn't verify familial ties and handed him $16,000 in cash they pulled out of the walls, as well as purses and a HUGE family coin collection valued over $20,000+. I ONLY KNOW THIS FROM THE VIDEO AND AUDIO RECORDINGS AND RECORDED TELEPHONE CONVERSATIONS OFF A SECURITY APP ON MY MOTHERS PHONE I DOWNLOADED MONTHS EARLIER ) We had to puzzle together information from fire reports and personal security surveillance videos and numerous audio recordings of conversations off my mother's phone AFTER THE FACT OF IT. WHEN MY MOM WAS IN THE HOSPITAL,( SEVERAL MONTHS BEFORE THE HOUSE FIRE), THEY HAD INDUCED A COMA FOR A MONTH AND I DOWNLOADED A SECURITY SURVEILLANCE APP TO KNOW WHAT WAS HAPPENING AROUND HER! HE TWISTED OUR INNOCENT INTENT INTO: I WAS SPYING ON MY MOM . After the fire, had issues with insurance trying to blame our side of payments for their mistake of a missing payment. Family was in hotels for 3 months with my oldest daughter, 2 elders and 2 dogs. ($18,000+hotel bills) none of us drive, I have one left arm and stress induced narcolepsy. So Scott offered to "help" us out by driving for them once a week to errands and Drs appt and pharmacy..........in a matter of one month Scott convinced my mom I was out to hurt her and steal her money. Admitted my mother and her ex husband into an assisted living facility claiming to be her son . They didn't verify familial ties either . SCOTT WEAVER IS A FAMILY IMPOSTER. .......he stole more than just my inheritance he stole everything we've EVER OWNED and allowed hospice to (in their words)"euthanize" my mother! KEY ISSUES 1. Police wouldn't act on my POA to place protection order. Then when probate was involved, wouldn't hear our report in ANY WAY regarding the grandtheft. 2. Legends assisted living failed to verify familial ties on admition allowing theft of personal property and of the estate 3. fraud and elder abuse by longtime neighbor claiming to be ******* son 4. Manipulation & exploitation of *******and family 5. Unauthorized sale of property. church pastor involved 6. Intentional emotional distress. 7. Utilized COVID causing probate and inheritance complications. 8. Ex husband fraudulently signed as widow on death certificate taking all accounts. 9. Two separate properties, including family home and a duplex, lost by default judgement, without verifying facts or validity of claims in suit 10. Eviction from family home of 13 years (SCOTT SIGNED AN AFFIDAVIT SAYING HE SEEN ME SMOKING POT ON MY PORCH ) SO WE WERE EVICTED IN THREE DAYS INSTEAD OF THE USUAL 30 DAYS! From OUR OWN PROPERTY! ALL for failing to respond to the summons. It was an injustice . Then when I was hom ******** I was unable to respond to summons due to : - first of all, having no legal basis, it was all false entitlement and assumptions by my mother's ex husbands kid who I met 2x in 25 years ! - Overwhelming Grief of Unexpected Death of my mother - Intentional Emotional Distress by SCOTT & acquaintances - All parties were fully aware of my stress induced medical issues, intentionally utilized them to their advantage . DIAGNOSED PHYSICAL DISABILITIES & STRESS INDUCED SYNDROMES: -Narcolepsy, prone to bouts of unconsciousness under extreme stress -Ramsey Hunt Syndrome, half face paralysis under extreme stress -Missing deltoid muscle, so unable to lift right arm due to a car accident and several subsequent failed operations in 2001. I digress lol. WATCH OUT FOR YOUR ELDERS AND LOVED ONES ESPECIALLY IF YOU OWN PROPERTY OR AN INHERITANCE INVOLVED BUSINESSES IN CDA AND VICINITY DONT VERIFY FAMILIAL TIES AND WILL USE YOUR ABSENCE TO THEIR ADVANTAGE . WE DONT HAVE A JUSTICE SYSTEM HERE IN KOOTENAI, WE HAVE A LEGAL SYSTEM. IT ONLY WORKS IF YOU KNOW HOW TO WORK IT. seems the authorities are all corporate gang members allowing injustice, dismissing my verifiable facts and acting on an imposters word. Here's the detailed version for the news outlets or investigation that I hope happens ...... He took it upon himself to put Sharon into an assisted living that cost $8,000 a month, claiming to be her only son, then restrict all other visitors making me and my 7 kids not allowed on the property. We were unable to visit her at all her last month alive. We were incredibly close to her. We lived with her up until the house fire when the hotel living and Scott's lies and confusion separated us. The insurance co. sent a check for the fire incident the day Sharon unwillingly signed the deed to the altar church. Scott weaver answered Sharon's phone without permission and confesses to taking control of my mother's estate, purposefully causing emotional distress to both me and my mother, Sharon. As well as slander, taking advantage of elders, conspiracy, theft and fraud. All backed with video/audio evidence of all misconduct. I had full power of attorney and tried to stop the sale of the house due to finding insurance check in the mailbox same day as signing. Which meant we didn't have to sell the house we could fix it up so Mom would've had a home to come back to instead of dying in an $8,000 a month assisted living Scott Weaver the neighbor guy put her into claiming to be her son! Telling her she had to sell her house to the church to pay for her rent at legends facility and would get her a guarantee to go all the way to heaven. When I brought my POA to show the title company to stop the sale, who were previously informed by Scott Weaver that I was stopping the sale due to sharon being incompetent, He did that because he knew that THAT would really offend my mother, saying I stopped it due to her being incompetent! .............I ATTEMPTED TO STOP THE SALE OF THE HOUSE SO SHE COULD HAVE A HOME TO COME BACK TO AND BE AROUND PEOPLE WHO LOVED HER AND TOOK CARE OF HER, ........but I Will point out that if you want to get technical it does state specifically in the POA........... whether competent or not. To act in the best interest of Sharon........... I WAS UNABLE TO act in the BEST INTEREST OF SHARON SMITH due to Scott Weaver's lies and deciept !!!!! JENNA FROM Pioneer title completely dismissed my POA and claimed no doctor had deemed Sharon incompetent and that their attorney would've caught that, if that were the case. I have the whole interaction on video. Then Jenna from the pioneer title calling Sharon's phone and Scott answering. pushing to sell it. Sharon died the day after her house of 23 years was ransacked then bulldozed by a bunch of volunteers for Tim Remington's halfway house program. She was a victim of hospice euthanization, a morphine overdose. She had been fully functional a week before she died . I have Sharon's conversation recorded admitting Scotts involvement, her extreme duress, her being told other information by all parties, That if she would have known that that's what was happening she would have not have sold the house ESPECIALLY for that amount. Scott manipulated and utilized her huge ego and strategically cut us down emotionally. He created friction on purpose and with pleasure between me and my mother and my mother's boyfriend of 18 years, who committed fraud on my mothers death certificate that he was her husband. THEY WERE NOT MARRIED. THEY DIVORCED IN 2004 AND WERE NEVER REMARRIED. NOONE EVER CHECKED BECAUSE IN IDAHO ITS PRIVATE FOR 50 YRS AFTER YOU MARRY. SCOTT WEAVER ADMITTED MY MOTHER INTO THE LEGENDS ASSISTED LIVING IN CDA IDAHO CLAIMING TO BE HER SON AND HER BOYFRIEND AS HER HUSBAND..THAT WHOLE TIME IT WAS A SICK POWER TRIP HE WAS HOLDING ON MY 13 YR OLD DAUGHTER. I HAD NO IDEA UNTIL TWO DAYS AGO WHY THIS MAN WAS BLATANTLY ENJOYING OUR DISPAIR AND EMOTIONAL AGONY. GENUINELY EAGER TO BRING BAD NEWS TO OUR FAMILY ABOUT MY MOTHER WHO HE WAS ALSO TAKING ADVANTAGE OF AND CONTROLLING. ALL BECAUSE MY 13 YR OLD DAUGHTER MACKENZI THREATENED TO TELL ME AND HER BIG SISTER HEATHER THAT SCOTT WAS MOLESTING HER. SO HE PROCEEDED TO DESTROY HER LIFE AND HAS SUCCEEDED!! This is not ok and a bigger injustice than I can describe! We are now homeless, hungry and alone, staying on strangers couches, never knowing how long we can stay, not trusting anyone anymore. The police say they couldnt act on anything because it's a civil matter and No attorney will help us for free and we have 0 income or resources. I DIDNT THINK THEY COULD TAKE WHAT WASNT THEIRS ! I WAS THE EXECUTOR OF MY MOTHERS ESTATE AND WAS IGNORED AND BELITTLED BY EVERY PERSON I ENCOUNTERED. Her boyfriend frauded the death certificate claiming to be her husband then proceeded to legally claim her 2 properties, 4 vehicles, one vehicle had a coin collection worth over $18,000 in the trunk at legends where she died. ! I have a conversation of Scott and my mother's sister deciding what to do with it and how I didn't deserve anything and how greedy and evil I was for putting my mother through all of this torment! It's a giant joke of a conspiracy that noone will listen to . When I was evicted from my own house by Fred's children I had met 2 times in 25 years, Scott Weaver wrote an affidavit how he was a guest in our house many times and he seen me smoking on the porch out front and he knew it was marijuana from the smell. Which gave them the right to evict me in 3 days instead of the full 30 days. I have lived in that house for ten years and NOTHING WAS PACKED. I ENDED UP WALKING AWAY FROM MY HOME WITH NOTHING BUT MY TWO Small GIRLS AND TWO OF MY 5 DOGS AND GOT INTO A CAR WITH A STRANGER MY SON HAD HIRED OFF OF CRAIGS LIST TO DRIVE US TO UTAH TO STAY WITH MACKENZIS GRANDMA who was going blind and needed help with her daily living. Mackenzie's dad lived in the driveway in a fifth wheel and ended up being mentally and physically abusive to both Mackenzi and I. The whole time his mother making excuses for him and taking his side saying it was our fault he got angry! We barely escaped with our lives. The craigslist guy who drove us there was able to pick us up from a street corner one night after escaping a beating from Mackenzies dad. He drove us from Utah to OREGON to a NRML community claiming to be a safe place for battered women, which ended up being a pot farm that provided a 10'x15' shed with a tiny bunk bed a small counter with a microwave, mini fridge and no running water basically in the desert. In exchange for labor on their farm. We stayed for four weeks and me being disabled with one left arm and not wanting to subject my girls to anymore child labor in marijuana fields, we had the craigslist guy pick us up again and drive us to a cousin's house in Seattle. We were there for about a week before she was evicted for not paying rent. We slept on the sidewalk for three days before my oldest daughter heather drove from CDA Idaho to come get us from a homeless camp in Seattle, where I can't erase what my girls had witnessed there. Heather was living with her new boyfriend who let us stay on his property for a few weeks but have overstayed our welcome and seemed to have ruined any chance of my daughter having a relationship with him. So we are once again homeless in need of shelter and are hiding from Mackenzies abusive dad who is ACTIVELY SEARCHING FOR US AND NOW MY DAUGHTER CONFIDES IN ME THE MOST HORRIBLE NEWS IVE HEARD YET, WORSE THAN ALL THE BAD NEWS COMBINED. THE REASON WHY Scott Weaver blatantly turned against me and my children, casting us out as the bad guys while he forced my mother to sell her house of 23 years to pastor Kurt Neely,from the altar church, who personally owns an assisted living facility might I add, and had no problem with putting a single disabled mother with small children and in Scott's opinion is "mentally ill "and is off her meds (Scott states in the recording ) says the family is not wanting to sell because they're greedy and want more money, that the daughter is mad at sharon for selling THE HOUSE CUZ ITS HER ONLY INHERITANCE and he just wants them all to get along how he's just the middle man and has no choice in the matter AND HOW HES JUST HELPING AN OLD LADY CUZ THE FAMILY WOULDNT ! THEN SAYING NEXT HOW IT WOULD BE TRESPASSING IF WE WERE CAUGHT THERE THIS WEEKEND CUZ THE FAMILY WAS STILL TRYING TO GET THEIR things out of the house and the stuff they're trying to steal and that he's ALMOST CONVINCED HER TO SELL IT FOR the price they discussed AND HE WANTS THE HOUSE BULLDOZED GONE, SO IT DOESNT EXIST, SO KERI AND HER KIDS HAVE NOTHING TO COME BACK TO, TO COMPLAIN ABOUT! pastor Kurt is "on board with that !" Before I knew of the sadistic hidden reason for all this unnessecary heartache, I WAS GOING TO GIVE UP ON TRYING TO FIGHT FOR MY PROPERTIES BACK ENTIRELY, ROLL OVER AND DIE BASICALLY JUST LIKE SCOTT WEAVER WANTED. KNOWING WHAT I KNOW NOW, I REFUSE TO STOP FOR MY DAUGHTERS SAKE AND JUSTICE FOR THE INTENTIONAL EMOTIONAL DISTRESS HE HAS CAUSED. WE WILL NEVER GET BACK WHAT HE HAS TAKEN FROM US AND WHAT HE HAS DONE TO MY MOTHER, DAUGHTER AND MYSELF!! The one time I was in front of a judge through ALL OF THIS was months after my mother's untimely death, while I was in shock of the series of terrible events !

This group of scammers going by "Diamond Cosmetics" is finding targets at the Valley River Center and coercing them into making large withdrawals and purchases. They targeted my grandmother and convinced her to spend $3,000 on a simple facial cosmetic and told her she would receive "free treatments" monthly. At each of these subsequent appointments they isolated and pressured her into buying additional items or cosmetics at an unreasonable mark up. Today, my sister and I met our grandmother at the time she was supposed to be finishing up her appointment so we could check out the company and make sure they weren't pressuring her into additional purchases. When we arrived they said to wait outside and that we couldn't see her, and then I saw the cosmetologist (or whoever the woman doing the "treatment" was) go get a man and bring him back into the room with my grandmother. This made me nervous, so I knocked on the door and asked to come in. They said I couldn't come in because they just needed to finish the treatment. When I opened the door anyway, I saw my grandma pulling out her wallet. I asked them what they were doing and they got extremely aggressive with me and wouldn't tell me. My grandma spoke up and said she was buying another device, at which point I said let's go away and talk about it. Then they got in between me and my grandma and started berating me about how I was being rude and how much my grandma loves them and wouldn't let her leave or speak up. They accused me of trying to steal my grandmother's money and said they had never had a complaint before. They whispered in my grandmother's ear and asked if she knew us or if we were strangers, clearly trying to confuse her. She said yes of course we were her grandchildren and she'd like to leave with us. So we were able to get her safely away without her spending more money, but we were incredibly shaken by the whole experience. We don't know exactly how much money they've taken from her, but we want to make sure they can't continue to use the Valley River Center as a hunting ground for vulnerable seniors.

This company sends emails impersonating others companies eat Mcafee and PayPal They notify you of a purchase. PayPal was for IPhone purchase for 1200.00 The next one was for Mcafee to for. 564.00 I didn’t make these purchases. Upon calling the 800 number listed on these emails. The gentleman says we know you didn’t make the purchases. I need you to get your laptop and go to ultra viewer. Ultra viewer is where they take control of your computer computer my grandson said grandma is a scam And I hung up the next day. I received the email from McAfee stating I have made a purchase with them I have not made any purchases with McAfee call the 800 number given on the email. It is the same company. The gentleman said the same thing brought up the PayPal amount. I hung up and called McAfee and PayPal and they both let me know that was not them in any form.

i bought a quick make money system online that was advertized as even a grandma can do it, easy and takes 1 and half hours to set up and takes 7 minutes each day to maintain and get paid tens of thousands of dollars each week. It took me a longer to even watch the instruction video and not easy at all. So I could not set up. I did not ask for refund immediately as I was hoping to find time to rewatch the instruction video and do it over but I couldn't. I asked for refund then no response first. I mentioned to report a scam then got response but asked questions . It was no question ask money back guarantee though. Then offered another product cost $500 instead of the refund. I was asked to answer the survey. They kept harassing and bothering me for weeks. FInally I threton to expose the scam, they sent me a form to fill. But I cannot find a receipt number to fill. I have asked my credit card company to dispute the charge. The social media ad is scam. No easy refund. Lies and fraudulent claims.

When I went over to my 85-year-old grandma’s house, this package with 2 ankle braces was sitting on her table with a packing slip and several papers with the ink faded in the middle. The name of the company is True Medical Solutions LLC (not to be confused with TruMedical Solutions) . No comprehensible or important information is available to be seen on these papers because of the ink being faded in the middle. I tried to ask her about this and she said people were helping her fill out paperwork on the phone. This is a scam on elderly people and I believe it charges Medicare if they get the information. As someone who works in customer service and is trained to identify different types of scams, I would be very surprised if this was not one. This is very clearly a scam business.

I was looking for an excavator trackhoe. I found a John Deere online at Gears Garage. My husband called, but couldn't understand him, so he asked me to talk to him. I'm Hispanic. He said his name was Brad Hernandez. I thought I had never met a "Brad" who is Hispanic. I asked for the serial number, and he gave me one. I reviewed the customer reviews. One of the names used was Hernandez. My grandparents taught me to speak Spanish. I began speaking to him in Spanish. He said he didn't speak Spanish. I told him his grandparents must be mad at him. He replied, "Oh so sorry grandma", that's when I heard an Iranian accent. He told me to wire transfer the money to Bank of America in Columbus, OH. He gave me the routing number, and bank number. I told him I was uncomfortable paying for something I haven't seen. He told me not to worry that it was a totally secure website. He called back a half hour later and asked if I had gone to the bank. I told Brad I was interrupted but hadn't gotten a chance. He told me not to forget the receipt. I asked why he needed the number. He said because he has a lot of sales, and wanted to put me on early delivery. He said it was .80 cents a mile, which is cheaper than the typical $1 a mile. I told my husband I was calling the Better Business Bureau and looking up the address. Then I called the Columbus Chamber of Commerce, and I was told to call the Secretary of State. The OH SOS asked for the company name and Business owner name. He told me the business was not registered. He told me to ask for their EIN number, and they will stop calling. I called Brad and asked for his EIN number. He said he would check with his boss and put me on hold. I called back multiple times and it just rings. So, I called Bank of America and asked them to verify whether they have an account. The teller told me not to wire any money. I called the Columbus Police Department and they said there is nothing they could do about it.

I ordered a "My Robot Puppy" which was super cute, looked great in the packaging, would have been a great gift for my grandma considering we just lost my grandfather. What I received in the mail looked NOTHING like the photos online. The packaging was different and on the side of the box it was marketed as a robot toy for babies which is NOT how it was marketed on their website. It looked like they bought it from 5 Below. Definitely not a $** robot dog. I emailed them stating I would like a refund and they emailed me back saying I would have to send it to a different address then where it was shipped from. So I emailed them saying "ok can I have the address then please" and I've heard NOTHING from them. I am absolutely furious because apparently they are a Google verified site. Which they truly should not be. Delivering scam products AND not responding to emails so you can get your money back. Disgusting business behavior.

They were posted online google search for a local flower company with same day delivery. My grandma called the number listed at the bottom of the website to order flowers, a man answered and you ordered your flowers, they asked for her name, phone number and address as well and the same information for the recipient of the flowers and were promised same day delivery. The flowers were never delivered and when called the next day, they were asked for an address to come in and pick up the flowers. They gave her a fake address and preceded to ask over and over if she was placing another order. She then preceded to ask for a refund and they hung up the phone.

My grandma received a phone call from a guy claimed to be from STARS Lotteries saying that she won $250,000 and a Ford Escape as part of the STARS 60th Anniversary promotion. My grandma was skeptical about this so we called my mom, who used to work in a credit union and knows all the different kinds of scams. She researched it. STARS hasn't been around for 60 years. We even called STARS Lotteries using an official phone number on their website and they said the same thing and that the guy calling saying we won a "prize" was a scam. My mom even tried looking up the phone number that the guy gave to my grandma, & it didn't come up with a known provider. So mom sent me the information to report it as a scam to the Canadian Anti Fraud Centre, which is what I am doing now. Grandma didn't give out any personal information (banking, street/residential, etc) & will not be calling that number back. I'll also report this incident to the RCMP (if this isn't part of the Royal Canadian Mounted Police). I hope nobody else gets phone calls like this. It's sad that it happens. We didn't receive anything by mail, as it was a direct phone call to our house landline and it came up as "Private Number" on caller ID. Again this event happened today on Thursday January 16th 2025 at around 4:00pm CST

I am currently looking for a one bedroom place to rent in Kaslo, BC (where it is very difficult to find appropriate and affordable housing). I saw Dylan Rental's ad on Facebook and reached out. I was contacted by someone and became suspicious almost immediately due to everything seeming too good to be true. I was informed that all I had to do was fill out a registration/rental application for $80.00 then provide a damage deposit of $500.00 and the monthly rent of $1000.00 and the place was mine. I rechecked the Facebook page and the same pictures were used in many states/provinces and small cities across the USA and Canada. When I confronted them with this they said it was just how they advertised as they were a small business and he was a realator that owned many homes and apartments to rent. I then filled out the registration/rental agreement (with loads of personal information for identity theft.) and emailed it to the individual, believing and trusting it was Dylan. (Silly Cow :( ) Then I was asked for the $80.00 fee and replied that I would only pay cash for the fee and other costs when I received the keys. I was told interact worked better. I said I do not do interact. I then asked if that was the scam. If they got 1000 people to send them $80.00 that = $80,000. This happened on Friday, January 9th, 2025 and I have had no correspondence since. The Facebook page has changed and all the ads with the same pictures are gone. I say buyer beware and as Grandma said, "if it seems too good to be true it probably is not true." (Fool me once shame on me, fool me twice shame on you!) I now think it could be about money and identity theft. Good luck out there. There are sound offers out there, this just does not appear to be one of them! Peace be with you!

My grandmother got a letter in the mail saying that her mechanical breakdown auto insurance policy has lapsed. She doesn’t have a car nor a license so she asked me to call. I called twice and they hung up every time i mentioned i’m calling on behalf of my grandma. I believe it’s a scam to get her to subscribe to a fake service that would charge her periodically.

My grandma was shopping for a scooter on Facebook and came across this post: https://www.facebook.com/story.php?story_fbid=528340676898979&id=100091691529345&mibextid=wwXIfr&rdid=xHCEBLJMgNcWNdqe She then unknowingly spent $38.99 on this scooter: https://ama-zon.top/collections/discounted-items/products/electric-scooter-adults?data_from=index_index but she never got a confirmation of the order going through but her credit card went through with the purchase.

Grandma ordered us a few clothing items from this website for Christmas. What is advertised as a knit sweater is apparently a polyester printed garment. Other reviews have noted this as well. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/elevenforest.com?page=2

This is the transcript of the voicemail left by the caller: Hi, this is Jessica from the loan approval team. I'm calling regarding your loan inquiry. Grandma was finished processing your loan but we need to verify a few details specifically about your income. Please return my call at 877-867-5139 ideally before 5 PM Pacific time today when you call and mention your application ID is is an apple H is in hotel fee is in zebra 34578 again that is A's an apple ages in hotel Z in zebra 34578.

We have had constant contact with people that have been trying to hack our home wifi and cable. My grandma is 93 and has been a victim of fraud and should never have to feel unsafe. Please investigate this and bring us a piece of mind for safety.

Scammer calls my 101 year old great grandmother impersonating 'The Baton Rouge District Attorneys Office", saying my cousin Delaney Catron was in jail for a bad car wreck, and that she hit a pregnant woman, and broke the woman's back, and she was going to have to sit in jail for an extended period of time if my Grandma could not help, saying that Delaney, my cousin asked that she not tell anyone. My great grandma responds that her granddaughter manages her money, and I walk and say "Grandma who are you talking to?! Because I hear her giving information to what sounds like a stranger/scammer. Unfortunately she gets many scam calls. The people hang up quickly saying "Okay, I'll tell her." I immediately look up the phone number suspicious of an 877 Area code. Online It reads this belongs to Mount View Logistics, out of Greeley CO I call the number back, and the person who answers says they are from 'The Baton Rouge public Defenders Office'. I ask them why the number says Mountain View Logistics, out of Greeley CO and they hang up on me. I proceed to call my cousin Delaney and confirm my suspicions. The main problem is this kind of stress with such a traumatic event being described could harm my grandmas health, shorten her life, or even kill her. This is attempted murder basically in my opinion as well as attempted robbery, and scamming, and Elderly abuse.

She had a post on Craigslist selling pure bred standard poodle puppies. I inquired and she called me and told me all about the puppies and told me if I send a deposit she would hold the puppy for me. She had her address listed in Dallas, TX, however she wouldn’t give me her exact address, which I thought was confusing because I wanted to come get the puppy. She told me she messed up the amount I was supposed to send and it was really $150 - so I sent her $50 more. The day before I was supposed to come pick up the puppy, she all of a sudden said she had to fly to Maryland for a emergency, but her grandma would be at the house for me to pick it up. I said great. Then, I told her - I still need the certification and vet records you promised me, and she kept beating around the bush. The day comes when I’m supposed to get the puppy, and she told me her grandma fell and had to go to the hospital, but her brother would come to her house and let me get the dog, IF I PAID $150 for his gas. I told her NO, and that I would just wait until she got home from her trip. She said that would work. Still never got any vet records or anything so I was becoming worried. Then, she said the day that she was supposed to fly home that the flight got cancelled and that she would get a rental car to drive home to deliver me the puppy, if I gave her $150 more Dollars for gas. That’s when I lost it!!!!!!!! She ended up calling me cussing me out, and said she would send me the money in a few hours - more than 24hrs later I still don’t have the money and she told me she tried but it didn’t go through. Sent me screen shot and it was allllllllll a scam. Her husband also text me saying horrible things.

Scammer asked for my grandma saying they needed to talk to her about legal documents. He did not give any info besides a phone number and a case number. Scammer called from a different number then what he gave me. (530) 359-4759.

My grandma was called on 12/4/2024 by someone claiming to be a bail bondsman and that her grandson has been in a collision with bail posted of $70,000 and was demanding a payment of $7000 from my grandmother.

I first got a phone call stating I missed court and had 10-15 mins to call the attorney’s office that was “suing” me to settle the matter out of court. If not, they would issue a warrant and come to my home. The apparent attorney’s office is called United Litigations. I was provided a court case number and I called this office. Everything was being said so fast, it was difficult to fully process everything. I was told I received paperwork 3 weeks ago but I never did. I was in a panic already because the first call of the morning i am being told I will be arrested. I give these people my card information and go on about my day. Later on in the day I get to thinking about the same thing happening to my grandma months ago. I called the next morning to the “attorney’s office United Litigations” to request something in writing before they start pulling money, but when they answered they identified to be Central Management. That alone raised so many red flags. They told me to call the original place of debt and ask for a file of chain titles, so I did exactly that. The original place of debt told me it was a scam and to go cancel my card. These people were suppose to pull money today but card declined so now they won’t stop calling me.

An unknown young male crying and saying "grandma, grandma, it's me your grandson" (I don't have a grandson).  When I said he had a wrong number, he said "but Grandma it's ME!  I need your help."  I again said you have a wrong number and I hung up.  He was insistent and emotional and i realized it might not have been a wrong number but more likely a scam.

My grandma went in JH Mountain Glow in Jackson Hole Wyoming (their location has no website and is not on the map), and they scammed her to buy an eye cream that was $650 and leave a $100 tip (“because they don’t get paid except with tips”). My grandma is conflict adverse so she bought the product. They then tried to scam her into buying a face red light laser treatment at which point I told them we were leaving. The same day we tried to return it and they said there was nothing they could do, it was final sale. They never once told her it was final sale. The brans is Avinichi. Their website appears to be a scam as well.

Jose from JYM Carriers Inc. was introduced to me through Montway. Jose said that I should pay him directly via Zelle and he would pick up my 2 cars to ship from New York to Florida. I paid him $950. He told me that he was on the way with the cars, but my cars never arrived. He then continued to make tons of excuses - about being in the hospital, his grandma dying, being sick, having his car break down, etc. He then said he would give me a refund. He said he would go to the bank and take out money and sent me a photo of the bank, but the money never came. He said he would send me a check and even texted me a photo of the check, but never sent it. He keeps making up different excuses about why he can't refund me, despite saying that he either already has or will. This is after him lying about how the car was on the way when it was not.

These people call every Monday-Friday, with different numbers starting with the area code and first 3 digits. I know that they are robocalls because I heard about it online. They always ask for my grandma even though she's been dead for almost 3 years.

Someone named Sean, from “the corporate office” called my sister, my mom, and my grandma about this “complaint”. Sean said my mom had a bill from Capital One for over $4,000 in collections. The card was supposedly activated in 2004 or 2005, but closed in 2016. She hasn’t had a capital one card in over 30 years. He kept arguing about money, saying she could make payments but there was a $500 down payment. Then he got an attitude and I said a few choice words because we knew it was a scam then. He has her number, birthday and social security number.

Sent my grandma a text saying she needed to call the pay pal “pay out” center and her account was having issues. So she called them and they told her she needed to go buy prepaid cards and send them the information off it.

this man called on our house phone and stated that he was from the state department and trying to pay out fund regarding a life insurance benefit. it listed my uncle as the beneficiary, however my uncle has been gone for 7 years and this insurance policy was apparently for an old girlfriend of his (they were never married nor had any kids together). This guy continued on saying who is his next of kind which would of been my 87 year old grandma. He sd that he would set up a notary for her to sign paperwork and she would need to bring her DL, social security card and death certificate for my uncle. I got involved asking to see the paperwork that she was going sign and they sent it over and its a power of attorney paperwork, and some other paperwork that has different numbers and people listed as a private investigator and attorney, but it all says they are at the PO Box in Plano and the actual business they used is in Denver CO. so that was already suspicious. Also in the paperwork it never mentioned the girlfriends name, nor the name of the insurance company or original origin of this said money. After adding all this up it just seemed too suspicious and we did not go through signing papers.

call received on 6/13/2024 at 9:55 am - phone identified as Matt Fitzgerald, telephone number 775-469-0447. Usually I do not answer calls from unknown parties but decided to find out who this person was - after saying 'Hello' who is this - got a response 'Grandma, can you hear me'? I hung up immediately. I had saved an article in the Palm Beach Post newspaper about this type of call & decided to send this info to BBB.

A caller imitating a grandson said he was in an accident, needed $9800. His called ID # was 785-479-9578 , Hope KS. I was to contact his "attorney" at 580-308-0697. Both numbers have tried to call again, but I did not answer. Of course I knew immediately it was a scam - he didn't call me my real "grandma" title, and he was a person of color - my grandson is about 80% Swedish! I played along , asking about injuries he sustained - a broken nose and 3 stitches to his bottom! I hope others won't fall for this.

I was looking for financing for my business that was struggling, I started getting a lot of calls from different financing companies who wanted to help me many of them were merchant cash advances, which I did not want to work with. This one was different, they said they were a private equity firm and their rates were very good and could offer us $175,000 on our books and it didn't matter what my credit was it seemed like a dream. After I spoke to a couple of people who were scamming me and sounded really convincing, I agreed to wire $7000 to fund the account for the service fee or something like that . They waited till it was almost ready and said I needed that. They were very communicative and even set up a portal for me to log into to see that I had $175,000, which seemed great until a few days later when they said the money would be available , they began to tell me that there was a company merger, then the guys Grandma was in the hospital, then I should just wait till the dust settles for the merger and to believe in myself, it was all nonsense. They had no intention of funding this, and they took advantage of a desperate person , trying to save a company with 30 employees. It's sad and I feel completely embarrassed and annoyed with myself for being so dumb. They go by https://capstarinvestments.co/ a man named arthur was the lead and his partner vincent pretended to be his boss. The wire was sent to superb builders group in Brooklyn, which I should've known wasn't the name of their company and was a red flag, but I was too excited to save the business so I took a chance where I shouldn't have. I shouldn't have trusted these guys with the silver tongues. I hope no one else falls for this, and I can survive this for the sake of our staff and their families

I ordered two Mother's Day vases from this company after seeing an add on Facebook. Order #IFH240426171147576 April 27, 2024 with the name Grandma and Maw Maw. The order clearly states at bottom of bill ship in 4-8 Working Days. I did not receive the orders or get an update. I sent emails asking for refunds or information. They convinced me that they were working on product and would send soon. They sent me this too, Please view our shipping-delivery-policy: *Total Delivery Time = Processing Time + Shipping Time Free shipping + Processing Time: 15-23 business days I received today 32 days later the vase. It is poorly printed and has the Spanish name for mom and grandma not what I clearly ordered. My other vase order to this company #****************** April 24, 2024. I have not received shipping notice for, and I have not received yet. I assume will be inaccurate and poor quality too.

A women set up an appointment with my grandma to see an apartment (which we saw on Facebook Marketplace). She told her first month and deposit was around $1900 and application fee was $50 and for it to be sent through cash app when we arrived no one was there but I did talk to a maintenance man who told me the apartment where under PRM and I reached out to see if property managers named matched up and ask why no one showed up to the appointment that was set up when I was able to speak to someone I got told those apartments weren’t in there systems which was clearly a lie due to maintenance man with a PRM shirt was out there either he’s the scammer or they are lying while on the phone they wouldn’t tell me who the manager was for those apartments so I can discuss someone is trying to scam using there name and instead got disrespectful talked down to me and laughed at me like the situation isn’t serious (I feel like if I tell them about an alleged scam happening they are liable if they don’t do something about it like at least warn people about this situation on or offline)

Around 1130a, on 4/29/2024, I received a telephone call from ###-###-####, the caller calling me grandma stated he had been in an accident and was being held at the police station. He was texting and the car in front of him braked so he hit the car. The lady he hit was six months pregnant and was taken to the hospital. He asked that I please call his attorney at ###-###-#### and do not share this information with anyone he wanted to tell the family after being released. At about 3:00p, a call from ###-###-####, came to my phone but I did not answer. The attorney's last name is Matthews and the grandson's case numb er is *****.

This message is written with tears, with humility and with the truth that hurts, but it's important that what happened to me doesn't happen to any other woman, this story that lasted two years and five months, in which he or they pretended to be someone else who had being widowed with a son, I fell prey to a scam in which I lost my inheritance and the little I had. I went into a lot of debt with bank loans totaling $33,000, which I am also aware that I have to pay for by starting over by getting up from this serious deception. In a very delicate stage of my life, on June 25th, 2021, a friend request on Facebook began, then with offers of a love that to date had come into my life, with gallant words and eternal promises, I ended up getting excited. The fragility in which I found myself after three months that my grandparents had just passed away, added to the last words of my grandma who said that she dreamed that I was marrying a great man. The psychological games of this fake person made me fall so low that I even asked permission to buy a dress or asked to bring candy for my nephews. I didn't care about making sacrifices, I was too stupid and naive and I believed in every word he told me. His daily messages, 3 audio calls and 2 video calls that I don't know how they did it, now I realize that he was wearing a mask and with so many traps that technology brings, very late I realized that everything was a lie. The way they or he communicated was through WhatsApp and during this time he or they changed his or their phone number 6 times, most of them belonging to the United States and one to Germany. +1 (239) 710-8142 +1 (559) 578-4082 +1 (318) 502-6523 +1 (425) 268-1264 +49 176 83843353 +1 (305) 563-7487 These were from the fake engineers: +1 (814) 408-0315 +1 (786) 681-0126 +1 (774) 322-1537 Supposedly he worked in an Oil Rig where the most crazy and unlikely things happened to him that a human being could barely endure. He asked me for money to preserve a valuable package that I supplied him every month with amounts that seemed like a salary. He requested money for a body preservation machine and another vital signs machine because he had serious pneumonia and almost died. When I no longer had money, He asked me for steam cards every month to be online and be able to communicate. Then a mechanical engineer communicated and then another chief engineer were bearers of the terrible news, they did not want to kill him because I was his money-making machine. When I no longer had anything to offer him, the conversation was reduced to email messages: [email protected] I must confess that I trusted this man blindly and I believed his promises of money back, I should have realized when my mom needed her surgery and this scammer didn't even care. In short, how much they must have mocked me is truly unimaginable. So I continued waiting for a message of relief, which would never come, my anxiety made me check my cell phone every second with true desperation, I couldn't sleep, crying from helplessness, losing even part of my vision. Until on Tuesday, December 26th, 2023, I started searching and discovered the truth already verifying the true identity and I closed my case, which fills me with shame. I failed my mom, my little nephews and my siblings who depend and need me and this makes me feel dirty, empty, emotionally damaged, broken but above all the worst person. Now I am very afraid because in fifteen days I will have to appear in court because I have not been able to pay the monthly payments on the loan. I'm afraid of losing the house where my family lives. It's something I have to take care of and get an extra job to the one I have. I have destroyed my own life, my dreams, my peace. I don't know how to speak English at an advanced level, but I understand it, I hope I have not written with spelling mistakes, for which I ask you my sincere apologies. It's difficult to rescue the money because apparently they are people from Nigeria and all the money sent was to different parts of the USA and the Philippines.

When I answered a call from Yellowstone National Park, WY, a male voice said ‘Hi, Grandma. How are you?’ I told him he had the wrong number and hung up. Please know, I am aware of many “Grandma” scams and only answered because my son does live in the area.

Back in December 2023 my grandmother was at a friends brunch and they were talking about things still needing to get done fro the hurricane when my grandmas friends son “who is a contractor” says he can take care of that’. They were talking about my grandmas pool cage that needed to be done still. So my grandma talks to him briefly at this brunch and he asks her address and says that she is close by so he can do it. But that was the end of the conversation so the next morning at 8am he shows up to my grandmothers home unannounced and my grandma wasn’t even up for the day. But she lets him him because it’s the son of her long time friend so she figures she can trust him. So he goes in the back of the house and sees the pool cage and says he can fix it and says it will be 17,000 and that she needs to give him 7k down to start so my grandma being trusting gives him the money cash and then that’s when the run around starts. My family didn’t hear about all this until she told us in late February because no work has been done at all. And he claims permits were taking long to get approved. But we found out that no permits were requested so after that I decided to contact the contractor myself and he doesn’t pick up his phone so I’ve been dealing with him via text. And he states that the material is coming from Miami and it takes months to get here. So at this point I just asked for a refund because my grandma is very unhappy, and there was no contact sign what so ever and no invoices given to my grandma. I’ve been asking him for almost 2 months for a refund now he’s telling me that the company is sending him a check and it went out Thursday so he said this week but I’m not very confident about it. I’ve found bad reviews on this person and other news story’s about him as well

This is a company used to ship items from Canada to Jamaica . They took 2 barrels from my grandmas house which we paid $300 for each . He delivered one and stole the other barrel. We were told that it would be sent at another date . Months went by and no contact no barrel . He also took items from the first barrel. My grandma spent hundreds to fill it with food and clothes just for him to steal

This number calls pretending to look for their grandma or grandpa. When you say that you have the wrong number, they say "really?" Then they get you to say yes. I said yes and I'm worried of the consequences.

Phising scam contacting my Grandma pretending to be paypal by claiming a large transaction was made and providing the phone number 1(844)408-3884 to contact for further information

He tried to impersonate as her "grandson" whom is me, and according to my grandma he had a similar voice as me. She's been getting calls since last year. He told my grandma that "her grandson" was in the hospital, my grandma asked do you want money but is said not yet but only transfer when in severe condition which is quite odd.

I placed an order for a flower arrangement to be sent to my grandma in Ridgecrest, Ca. Within 5 minutes of me placing the order via the website, I was sent a response email that my order was canceled, and my money would be refunded. It has been over a week, and I still have not received my money back. I called the toll-free number listed for their business and got bounced around from person to person with no one being able to tell me where my refund is.

Stated Grandma why are you doing this when I asked who they were
