Jennifer Wilson from Chase Bank called me and said someone used my ss number to apply for a credit card. She then connected me with a Jason Oliver from Experion. Somehow he had my ss number and my credit card information. He wanted me to get my card to make sure it wasn't missing. I told him no, it wasn't missing I think he wanted the number. I said that he already had that, how, I don't know. I don't think he had the right number, but anyway he tried to sign me up for a 0% card. He gave me information about 2774 consumer protection Experion and something about fcra. The phone number he gave me is 888-397-3742.

Saw an Osprey backpack sale on social media. I ordered one backpack. I sent three e-mails to the company and have received no response. I noticed the charge was from China.

The person knew my information saying he was from Medicare and United Healthcare

Scammer offered a discount on the waterslide requested a deposit which we did and then it was never delivered. Then they requested insurance fees and that’s when we put a stop to it.

I work at a bank. A member provided us with a fake cheque that looked very real and we did not catch it at first. Because of the amount, we put a hold on the funds to be sure it cleared. The member came back to us with suspicions as the buyer (Digger Rentals) was being strange with answers to certain questions. It ended up that the cheque did not clear and it was confirmed to be a counterfeit cheque.

I received a text about getting paid to display vinyl ad on my vehicle. It sounded good so I filled out the form on the text. A few days later I got another text from another number saying I was approved. The next day I get a text from the 2nd number saying the check has been sent. Then he kept sending me text to see if I received. I got my mail on July 4th and there was the check and the instructions. The check was for my weekly "pay" and extra for the fee for the decal. It all seemed weird. Then the guy is texting me all day to see if I understand the instructions. I did some research and discovered this is a scam. Which I had an inkling... so I am going to block this guy after I text him back that I know this is a scam. Now, unfortunatly I did mobile deposit on the check so I'm calling the bank in the morning since today is a federal holiday. Hopefully the bank can reverse the deposit.

On Facebook under a video, there was an advertisement for Nike Air Max that I wanted to use with my sports group this Fall. I clicked the link and found the exact shoes I wanted for $140 less than retail price ($19.99). The site was https://sportsgsshop.com and had the DICK'S Sporting Goods logo (who I know and trust). I sent texts to inform my group that I found the shoes! However when they tried the link I provided, none of them were able to access the same site. When I checked the local BBB, the business was not found. Having already "purchased" the merchandise and receiving a "confirmation" email, I checked the email that was sent to me by the "company" only to notice that it was full of bad email addresses. I tried to contact the company through the aforementioned website, it took me in circles. Finally I noticed a Hong Kong location, which alerted me the most, and an old typing font which usually screams fraud/scam.

I'm not altogether sure how I landed at this website and assumed it was legitimate. Although it was an "org" designation in the site's domain name, I simply didn't see it. While filling it out, I commented to my husband that things had surely changed since I last got a passport-so much more information was requested. That probably should have been my first red flag.

I received a targeted ad via YouTube that presented a model kit that I purchased through the website. After not receiving tracking information for my product, I reached out to the company and they provided me with a tracking number for a false shipment that never arrived. They did this twice and I requested a refund. They have said I need to wait 10 business days in order to receive a refund. After waiting, I followed up and they have said a check was in the mail and provided me with a false tracking number again. I noticed that multiple customers have posted reviews on the website stating similar experiences.

https://faherty-us.com was advertised to me on Instagram. It mimics the true clothing company, Faherty Brand's, site and products. Upon adding items to a shopping cart, it redirects you to PayPal to compete the purchase. I have confirmed with Faherty Brand that this site has no affiliation with the true company.

I paid for a one time offer of $19.99 on June 6th. At no point was it made aware to me there were strings attached such as a subscription or future payment. Today July 6th I was charged $49.99 for a subscription I never agreed to not was informed of at any time during the initial purchase. They are scamming people with fake subscriptions with no services rendered.

Text from (650) 753-3886 said to call 808-556-4495, immediately, (claiming it was Apple Support), if you didn't authorize your apple id being charged 879.99 for Springfield Armory on (todays date). I looked up all numbers included and found the first one was in San Mateo, CA and the second was the prefix for the Hawaiin Islands. I went to my Apple ID and saw no charges pending. One reference said the 650-753-3886 was for a bank that serves apple ID.

I received from LinkedIn notifying me about a job to make extra cash. I said I was interested and was messaged through a “mentor” through whats app to guide me through the tutorial and set up of how the “job” works. You initiate by clicking through to report app data and receive a percentage from each click. Some of these come up as “merges” where they require a payment to the account but you are guaranteed to make a higher profit. At the end of your tasks you are able to withdraw all your payments and profits from the day. This worked three days in a row so I assumed it was legit. On the last day I attempted the “merges” were over $1000 asking to input. The catch is you have to complete all the tasks in order to withdraw your funds. So if you don't pay the full merge amount you cannot withdraw your deposits or profits made. It was them that I realized I got myself into a bad situation.

Harassing voicemails daily. Mortgage company offering a heloc loan on my home.

I am writing to formally file a complaint regarding a fraudulent publishing company operating under the name KDP Publishing, which falsely claimed affiliation with Amazon’s Kindle Direct Publishing (KDP) platform. I was led to believe this was a legitimate publishing service and unfortunately became a victim of what I now believe is a multi-state publishing scam. On March 20th, 2025, I was contacted by Jack Hudson, who identified himself as a Project Manager for KDP Publishing. He provided a phone number (929-404-1640) and email address ([email protected]). Mr. Hudson presented me with a publishing agreement, stating that my book could be published and distributed on major platforms, including Amazon KDP and Barnes & Noble, by Easter 2025. The contract I received was marked as legally binding and included a digital signature. An additional contact, Jacob Harrison, who identified himself as the Editing Manager, also communicated with me via phone (844-654-5010). The services offered included: • $1,000 for book publication and distribution on five platforms. • $5,500 for trademarking my author name. • $1,500 for marketing and promotional services. Mr. Hudson instructed me to create an IngramSpark account and provide him with the username and password so that he could upload my manuscript for eBook distribution. Despite multiple revisions and long periods of editing, I never saw my book published on any platform as promised. After initial contact, the company gradually stopped answering calls and emails. On May 30th, 2025, I received a printed copy of my book ISBN#*****************, which had clearly been processed through Lulu.com, not Amazon or IngramSpark. The package came from a company calling itself Book Marketers, with a listed phone number of 347-434-6677, but the number was non-functional. No one at Lulu.com could provide a return contact, and there was no available customer service phone number. I contacted USPS to gather information about the sender using tracking number **************************, and I filed a mail fraud complaint in the hopes of tracing the origin of the shipment. I also contacted my bank to dispute the $1,000 payment, which had been processed under the name "Book Services" with a bank listing address of 5900 Balcones Drive, Austin, TX. A Google search showed that the business at that location is a company called ONKlinical Research LLC, which has no associated website or contact information. I suspect this is a shell company used to mask fraudulent activity. I now believe I was defrauded by individuals or entities using the false name “KDP Publishing,” leveraging Amazon’s brand to gain credibility. The individuals involved used disconnected phone numbers, fake email addresses, and redirected funds through suspicious means. It is important to me that this complaint be reviewed and investigated thoroughly so that other aspiring authors are not targeted by this same scam. I am providing this information in full transparency and would appreciate any further guidance or assistance your office can provide to pursue restitution or action against these perpetrators. Thank you for your time and consideration. Here is a copy of the contract: AUTHOR PUBLISHING AGREEMENT This Agreement is made and entered into on this 20th day of March, 2025, by and between KDPPublishers (hereinafter referred to as the "Publisher”) and ***** ****** (hereinafter referred to as the "Author") WHEREAS, the Author wishes to publish a book using the services provided by the Publisher; and WHEREAS, the Publisher agrees to provide the Author with publishing, editorial, and distribution services as outlined in this Agreement.

New brand Kill Crew appeared on instagram, I visited the real website for this company. Later on social media I saw a post saying they were doing a promotion 5/$15 - and it got me. I didn’t realize the website was “thenewclothes” until after placing the order because I did it through instagram.

I scheduled a nail appointment and due to unforeseen circumstances i had to try to reschedule for a different date, but i’m only in town for the weekend and her availability wasn’t until next week which would be too late for me and her only other option was to wait on the possibility of a squeeze in appointment while i was here which is too uncertain for me so i told her i’d be more comfortable just canceling the appointment and i asked for my refund because in order to book the appointment i had to send the full amount to her. so now instead of sending me the money back she sends me her policy which doesn’t apply to me or my appointment because her parameters don’t fall under the situation of my appointment so there should have been no problem refunding me. She then decided to essentially ghost and block me.

I was contacted by email about a job opportunity. On LinkedIn, saying I had applied for a position, no mention of company or anything

The website disguises itself to look just like Pink Palm Puff Hoodie (https://www.pinkpalmhoodie.shop) is a fake site that imitates Pink Palm Puff a legit business that sells quality products - https://pinkpalmpuff.com/ When you receive the product it is a knockoff and less quality in shirt and monogramming. If you try to return they try to delay and give reasons why they can’t take it back. I could understand if it is a cheaper product but it is the same price.

Please call 1-877-417-1260 with your VIN and Current mileage before July 11, 2025. Our records indicate that you have not contacted us regarding the vehicle service contract. Sincerely, Tom Ackman 1-877-417-1260

Said if I won the “raffle” I would receive the garden wagon . There was nothing about raffle just price for garden wagon $11.95. I informed him he was a thief and I would report him

Wlygt.xyz fraudulently ( i have never heard of this company or site) charged my credit card twice over a two week period. Initially $9.95 followed by $39.95. My credit card recognized it as potentially fraudulent and I declined the fee. The company still processed the payment. I have closed my credit card and my CC company has opened a fraud case to refund me. Please be aware of this scam.

When we called what we thought was the royal Caribbean company because they use their logo, they asked us for our reservation number our names and verification of our birthdate. They somehow got a reservation on the Royal Caribbean website and then told us that they were port fees at each of our stocks which we had four stops that were $500 per port and then proceeded to tell us that if we didn’t pay them, we couldn’t get off the ship. Ended up hanging up on them and finding the real royal Caribbean phone number to which we had to set up a security network.

Scammer also said he was having a person with Pres Trump who Kid Rock is known good friends with the President. Had slots to file amended return and generate a refund.

I could not cancel this order after placing. Then received two shipping notifications. It would not arrive in one order and only one of the shipments arrived. When I contacted customer service they said they would rectify it. This order was placed April 21, 2025 and I am still fighting. I have sent screen shots, tracking info, and photographic proof. I only received half of my order. This evening July 4, 2025 I was told that on their end it looks like I received everything and I did not. I am fighting my bank now but this was a scam and terrible customer service.

The item did not get shipped. Was going to have to return it anyway because it would be too late. I emailed the company to cancel and be refunded and the person responded ignored my request several times and told me to choose another item at a discount. I continued to request a refund and the company said they had no funds to issue a refund and to choose another item. It is a complete scam
