Business Email Compromise

Our church received an email from "Michelle Albert" ([email protected]) including pictures of a Yamaha Grand Piano. "Hello Stephen, Thanks for your response, the Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model used to be owned and played by my husband who passed away last year, the dimension is "151cm by 146cm". It was last tuned sometime last year before he passed. She's about 2 years old and in impeccable condition. I'm moving my properties to another place and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time, I am settling for a home with less space, so I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house. The Piano is currently in storage with the movers I employed to move my properties from my house. The movers can deliver anywhere. However, the beneficiary has to pay moving costs. In the attachment are the pictures of the Piano, I look forward to your reply if you are interested, if not I can contact someone else. Regards, Michelle." In an additional email, "Michelle" instructed... "You need to contact the movers and make an arrangement as regards the moving process. I would like you to take some pictures when they arrive at your address. Here is the mover's information: ([email protected]) just let them know that Mrs. Michelle Albert, referred you with the Reference Code: SEIL132AD. Make sure you send an email for a faster response. Most importantly, provide your delivery address for a delivery quote. Once you are in touch with the movers kindly also let me know so that I can sign off the piano."

Employment - Qvantel, Inc

I applied for a Customer service/ data entry position with Qvantel on Indeed. The following day after submitting my application and resume, I received an email from Danny from Career Path, stating that I would need to download and setup Microsoft Teams and communicate with an Angelo Kons via email upon setup. That evening, there was an online interview with Mr. Kons via Microsoft Teams, as well as an email, giving the job briefing and job update. In the job briefing, I was given information regarding the position. The job update offered me the position, as well as informing me that I would be receiving a check to purchase materials for the job and training. Mr. Kons also stated that as soon as I deposit the check to my bank account, I am to send a screenshot of the deposit slip to him. He would then give me instructions regarding the purchases. He would give me the vendor's information also. Mr. Kons also stated that the vendor would also install the software on to the MacBook before shipping it to me. I received the check today, which is a $4600.00 check. I realized something was off when I noticed that the bank that the check came from is in New Jersey, the check came from Connecticut vis FedEx, but the corporate home office through which I applied is in Florida. I received instructions from a Mr. Lance Homenick, Sr. CPA, who said that he is from the finance department of the "organization." He never mentioned the company's name in the whole letter. Mr. Homenick, Sr. instructed that I promptly notify him via email at [email protected] to confirm that I have received the check. He also instructed that I am required to send him a screenshot or an image of the deposit slip as soon as I deposit the check into my bank account. I am supposed to send an email to Mr. Homenick, Sr. that includes the image or screenshot of the deposit slip, the method of payment(s) as directed by my hiring manager ( Mr. Angelo Kons), and the total amount utilized. I am further instructed to forward payment screenshots for record -keeping purposes, and then a payment receipt that includes a tracking number will be sent for my supplies. Also according to the instruction letter, it states the the leadership office will authorize my records if I fully adhere to their instructions. I was also instructed not to discard or shred this instruction letter. I had additional questions to ask Mr. Kons, in which he dodged the question during the whole conversation about who the company vendor is. He kept stating that he would tell me in the next set of instructions AFTER I deposited the check. I politely declined to deposit the check if I was not going to have my questions answered directly. The answers provided to me from Mr. Kons were generalized and did not provide specifics to clarify the process. All it seemed that they were concerned with was that I deposited the check. As of now, I have not deposited the check and do not plan to. I plan to hold on to the check, emails, and the instruction letter as evidence that I was trying to be scammed by these individuals.

There is no name or address on the Notice that they send. It says "Final notice immediate response required". It is very upsetting to my mother to receive these with the "final notice". She thinks it is an insurance. I called to get them to put her on the do not call list. They were extremely rude and condescending, even mocking me at one point. I called back and must have got his twin brother because he was just as rude and continued to talk over me until I just hung up. I knew it was a scam at that point.

But they sprayed over all my Sewage pipes up on top of the house and I don’t know how my toilets are even working. I’m going to have to hire somebody to fix the damage that they have done to my roof.

She then said she would explain it to me and told me not to interrupt her until she was finished. She asked if I had more than one driver's license.

I think this is totally a fake company. I tried to get a phone number but none was listed. Also tried address, but this store was not there. The dresses they showed on Facebook were definitely taken from a U.S. company of good quality for the photos . After thinking this purchase over, I called my Credit Card Company right after I had ordered the product to alert them that I thought this was a scam and I wanted to cancel the order. I was informed that I would have to dispute the order with the company. That is impossible since there is no phone number available to contact them. Three weeks later, the product came to my home from a delivery service I have never heard of named GoFo Express. I did track the package and saw that it was shipped Internationally and landed in New York first.

The "CEO" OF THE COMPANY "came to the door on a Thursday afternoon mentioning they were in the neighbourhood doing work for neighbours. Told me our shingles were missing and that in our subdivision, houses that were built 20-25 years ago need their roofs replaced. I told him of past experiences with door to door people, and i refused. He proceeded to ask me, if 250$ was too much or what would I suggest. I answered its not my job, and i wouldnt insult or negiotate the price because its his area of expertise and not mine. He then offered "because you had a poor experience before, ill do it for 150$, would that work?" I said "what the heck, if you do a good job and I need a roofer in the future for the entire thing, ill consider you". So, about 4 hours later he came back with two more mexican workers and climbed up on the roof, and all 3 were up there for about 15 minutes and said they were done. Later that night, I went up on the roof myself to inspect the job and they didnt do what was expected, they fixed a handful of spots and missed other spots that needed fixing, all the while leaving nails and garbage on the roof, the exact same experience I had 5 or 6 years ago with others that I had explained to him, and he said he wouldnt do. I sent pictures via text and he said theyd be back to do the the other spots later the next day on the Friday afternoon. They never showed up!!! Im afraid people in the area have been scammed and are not able to inspect their own roof tops. Beware! At least I didnt pay, until I was going to be satisfied.

I did not tour the rental because no one has gotten back to me to schedule this tour. I believe this is a fraudulent business. I completed my pre-screening on August 5, 2025 and now it's August 21, 2025 and I have never received any responses,

Phishing - warranty services

My father received a letter stating he had to call and renew his vehicle insurance or it may lapse. The vehicle listed is not owned by anyone who lives at this address. When I didn’t see any identifying marks as to the company they represented, I knew it was not an actual warranty renewal company. Here is a copy of the letter.

I paid Kyle $900 to help with up front costs for a job to be completed on my roof. He had done small jobs for me in the past so I wasn't concerned about this and know that metal is expensive. He took my etransfer and never showed up to do the work. He would ignore me when I reached out and if he would respond, he would tell me that he had my money and that he would come within the next couple of days/week to do the work. Again he never showed up with no calls or messages with updates or saying why. It's been 8 going on 9 months and he won't speak with me at all anymore and he's blocked me on both his personal and business social media pages.

Moving

The company gave a lowball moving estimate and when the movers arrived they began packing all of the belongings and brought them outside. Once everything was ready to go on the truck they informed me that the price quoted had doubled. If I didn't want to pay it they could unwrap everything and leave or they could take only the goods that were paid for, meaning about 1/2 of my belongings. I was left with little choice and agreed to pay the difference as I was expected in another state. Once my home goods arrived the new driver of the truck confirmed my suspicions, he said that I was actually under the 400 cf that I was originally quoted on. I have since tried to contact the owners to no avail.

A man named Lewis came to my door, said he was working in the area, on a building from which he could see my roof and noted shingles along roof line were lifting. Said he could take a look. I said okay. He went up, took photos to show me, said he could repair loose shingles in several locations, replace them. Also found a squirrel entrance, some rotten wood on side of dormer. Gave me a price for these repairs including re-alignment of eavestroughing that isnt draining properly. I accepted his quote but did not pay... said it would take 2 days to get the $7500 from my TFSA. He said okay and had one of his crew begin work. Within a few hours he came back and went up on roof, and said unfortunately my roof needed complete replacement. He quoted $100750.00 and said he would need initial payment of $35700.00 as deposit and for materials. I agreed but said it would take 2-3 business days to get funds from my reverse mortgage. He said no problem his crew would begin work. Over 2 days they removed all shingles and covered roof with tarps as it was weekend and some rain possible. I watched his mexican crew working and realized that they were very inexperienced. One had some skills, two other spoke no English and were obviously not roofers. I checked and found company is not BBB registered. On Sunday I also drove out to the business address in Carleton Place and it is not legit. I took a photo. I then phoned Lewis, left a message to say a friend had died and i simply could not have workers at my home on Monday and would see him on Tuesday. I have since called two BBB registered roofers to give me quotes.
