I responded to a rental listing on rent.com and was contacted by “Adam” who told me to fill out a $49 pre-screening application and get a renters insurance quote on Locayt.com. I should’ve known not to pay anything for a place I haven’t seen and the deal was too good to be true. Adam is a bot and I got scammed.

I was called on my phone at 3:00 pm 7-10-2025 today. Lucas was on the phone representing Walmart fraud department. He said an account was created last month with my information. He said 919.45 was authorized for Walmart and 3356.16 is an amount on an online gambling site (Albany NY) Lucas 702-843-0425. He created a Case ID #WM202105. I did give the last 4 of my SSN ( they wanted to verify it’s me). They wanted to know how much $ was in my savings and checking accounts. I said I didn’t know. Lucas said that 7 bank accounts showed on this WM account. I asked to speak to his supervisor and the call was transferred to Eliza Webber @ WM fraud department. They both spoke as though English was not their native language- I thought they sounded Middle Eastern. She said she needed my birthdate and other identifier so she coordinated submit a report to the FTC. I said I would submit it myself. She reluctantly gave the phone number of the FTC as 253-235-9646 and I will be speaking with officer Jason White. At that point I said I could not stay on the phone any longer. I hung up.

received a call from "ROYAL BANK" that someone had tried to access $4000.00 from my line of credit. They kept saying "they had your PIN, how did they get your PIN?" I checked my purse and my wallet was gone, including my credit and debit cards, my health card and my child's health card and my CAA card. Once my adrenalin was pumping, they asked for my PIN number, which in the moment I provided. They asked me to stay on the phone with them while they "wrote a report" After about 60 minutes they returned. and told me that new cards would be sent to me in the mail, and that I would need to go into the bank with 2 pieces of ID to replace the stolen cards. During this time on the phone I did see on the app that there were suspicious charge on my credit card. I pointed this out to the "bank" and they told me not to worry - that the charges would be reimbursed. When the new cards did not show up in the mail I attended my RBC branch. They would not talk to me in person since I did not have 2 pieces of photo ID (I had my passport, but my health card was stolen). They did tell me that this was a scam...wow, took them long enough!!! I immediately got on the phone and spoke with RBC bank and RBC visa even though my own bank wouldn't help me in person. They reversed the charges on my Visa. Nothing happened with my bank account. I confirmed that a police report was filed and provided the police report number. Police never contacted me. RBC only contacted me to tell me that they would have to put 19000 in charges back on my visa. They told me it was my fault and my problem. They called me several times after the fact to get their money back. The woman sounded odd on the phone and I thought this was a scam. Then I got a letter in the mail. I also thought this was a scam, but it wasn't. I intend to take legal action

I order an $80 pool. 3 weeks after it was coming from China, it was delivered. But it wasn't a pool. It was a USB charging cable. After several attempts to contact the company, no response. I had to dispute the charges with my bank.

They sell fake merchandise from Golf Wang hoodies to leather jackets and pretend to be out of Chicago and ship counterfeit items out of Pakistan.

I received an email that appeared to come from the Executive Director of my organization, thanking me for my good work and asking for discreet help preparing a surprise for staff. The email used my full name, had a professional tone, and was sent to my official work email. After replying, I was asked for my phone number so we could continue the conversation via text. Once I shared my number, I received instructions to purchase three Target gift cards worth $250 each (totaling $750). The scammer told me I would be reimbursed immediately and asked me to scratch the silver strips and send photos of the codes. Although it seemed unusual, the email and texts felt convincing at first. Before sharing any codes, I had second thoughts and contacted my direct supervisor, who confirmed it was a scam. I was able to cancel the purchase in time and get a full refund. No money was lost. I’m sharing this to warn others: the scammers impersonate trusted people in your workplace using real names and job titles. Always double-check email addresses and requests that seem urgent or secretive, especially involving gift cards.

I was on Facebook when I got a call from a Chris Foster, employee ID ms23951 stating he was from "Microsoft". The original call came from (855) 568-2610. He stated that I needed to call him back at 909-547-4395. He told me my computer and phone had been hacked and there were two withdrawls from my bank, one for 300+ for Amazon and the other for $11200.00 for child porn. He had me give him access to my computer and ran a defrag program to check for viruses and other hacks. I was then connected to a Logan Bentley, 440-462-8304, who was supposedly an agent from my bank. He stated I needed to withdrawal $14500.00 in cash and that I would be depositing it into a special ATM connected to the US Marshall's Service. I was told to leave some money in my account to help the Marshall's catch the hackers if/when they tried to withdraw. He said I should not trust the bank personnel as they were in cahoots with the hackers. When I went to my bank, the bank manager had never this Logan person. Of course I didn't make any withdrawals but closed my accounts. These scammers take over your computer using UltraViewer. I was able to find out that they were in my computer 50+ times in a matter of a couple hours. My daughter uninstalled the program and it actually takes you to a form where they ask why you uninstalled. The form has you put in the information that was originally given to "fix the problem" thru UltraViewer so if you fill it out, they will gain access again. DON'T fill it out! Look at the "I'm not a robot" at the bottom of the page. If it looks weird and they spelled Ultra "Ulta" a few times on the form, exit out of the form! Looking at my browsing history, they actually googled "BITCOIN ATM's" in the closest town while they had access to my computer so their intent was to have me deposit my money into their BITCOIN account.

I placed an order through the website LabuBoxes and received a fake tracking number that never showed any valid shipping activity. When I contacted the company to cancel the order and request a refund, they refused. As a result, I contacted my bank and filed a chargeback for the transaction. Since then, the company has repeatedly emailed me asking that I cancel the chargeback before they will either ship the order or issue a refund — which is not standard or trustworthy business practice. After researching the company, I discovered multiple reports from other customers stating similar issues: fake tracking, no delivery, and pressure to cancel chargebacks. I believe this is a fraudulent operation and should be investigated.

Priority mail, sent a check for $1474.32 appears to be fake. Asking me to deposit it and buy 2 $500 gift cards and keep the rest for an evaluation of a walgreens or a cvs store.

they are a pre-recorded video call or webinar that you sit in and at the end they claim that you need an errors and omission certificate in order to be a travel agent and charge you $97 which is monthly

I thought I was on the IRS website and somehow I got switched over to this, their website. And when I tried to cancel it they wouldn’t let me. When I call no one is there and they hang up. When I email them, they email back and say it can’t be canceled.

OnTrac is a carrier service nationwide, but the location in Jacksonville, FL is stealing packages and won't respond to claims via email. You can see all the reviews people have posted on Google https://g.co/kgs/gaNQYpT, and it's the same thing happening over and over and they need to be looked into. My package was out for delivery 7/4/25 and the driver stated it couldn't be delivered. OnTrac has delivered to my address 3 times a month for a while now with zero issues, and now suddenly they can't deliver to my address? And they've had my package for an entire week now and won't deliver it or respond to any of my claims. Whoever is managing this business needs to be investigated.

This company keeps emailing my e-mail address with no name to who it is for demanding money or face legal consequences. Ive never used the company they are saying the represent, Cash Net, Check n go and several other loan companies. Please look into this lawyer and I am making a police report and will press charges if i can.

I though I was applying for a $5000.00 loan but after giving the ASSHOLE my Bank Login information for them to deposit the Funds, they in turn requested and got a provisional credit of $204.00 and $254.00 and then before I could realize it had me send them that money. I thought it was them who made the deposit but it was not. It was A FALSE CLAIM done on my account by them. He said he was Alex Dawson at 209 268 5387the card they used was **** **** **** ****  07/29 208 https://cashinleandingclub.com/faqs/ Both of my US Bank and Cash App accounts were affected. Both banks are reporting them and helping me

The Company Chicos is a very high end company that sells very nic clothing. This is why i went to the web site. I had no idea this was a scam. I need people to know not to use this site because it is not Chico's. I am saddened that i could not receive the discount that was promised. How dare they use Chico's name.

Emailed about walking dogs

This company reached out to me via email and also through the phone number. They attempted me multiple times in the beginning pursuing with numerous emails numerous calls. I eventually gave in thinking it was an opportunity to make some extra money outside of my full-time job. One day I did not answer the phone because I was at work. They got upset said that they are to pursue legal actions if I do not respond and deliver the packages and upload pictures as agreed supposedly. Once I eventually reached out and explain to them that I have a full-time job I then attempted to complete the assigned task not knowing that this is all a scam. It has been a scam the entire time once I try to log into the dashboard that they provided. I was unable to login. I’ve tried to call numerous of times. This is going on day four now I have tried to reach out to them. This company is a scam. They go by the identity names Ashely Coleen, and Beverly. They all work for this scam company by the name of ParcelBloom. This is an outright scam. Do not partake in any investment with this. They made me submit my personal information that I am now seeking to protect luckily I didn’t send off the packages. I immediately reported them as of July 10, 2025 . This company is a scam. This company is a scam. This company is a scam. This company is a scam.

Andy and Richard calling to offer me up to 10,000 loan , one said 6.5% interest the other said 7%. I tried to give them my online banking information for deposit, which was an old empty account I was giving them. When I told them Venmo, they either hung up or said they want a normal bank like Wells Fargo or BOA. I told them I only do online banking. They kept hanging up. I called them back numerous times. They would answer hello. When I ask for one by name, they would pass the call to the other. This was supposed to be a large company in Brooklyn, NY. The last time I called they said,”oh, you said your bank was Venmo.” I had not given the bank name on that particular call. They also had foreign accents, East Indian? If this was a large company, you should not be able to call directly in, much less keep getting the same person. And they were not calling from an 800 number.

I placed an order on 5/11/25 and never received.

I have been called several times from these phone numbers, 385-585-4064 and 385-585-5044. I do not answer but they leave a voice mail message "Hello, this is Evelyn from underwriting. I'm reaching out today about a time sensitive personal matter. Your file has been reviewed and is almost approved. We're just waiting on the final steps to verify some details. Please call us at 866-878-1552 or press two to speak with an underwriter now to decline future contact press nine..."

This was a Facebook ad for Archie’s flip flops. I made the purchase. After putting in my credit card information via Apple Pay, I never received a confirmation email or order number. After emailing the provided email I gave you, they asked me for an order number to which I told them I didn’t have one. I told them I’d dispute the charge and never heard back from them. The name that popped up on my credit card purchase was YSP* youreternallove. I have disputed this charge with my C/C company and am waiting to hear back. I hope to be refunded some how! Also, the website is does not exist anymore after trying to go back to it today.

I went on Indeed to find a job and update my resume and submitted my resume to a dog walker/dog sitter offer. I received an email back within 24 hours from Comcast Cooperation LLC with a name attached Brian Lang stating they wanted me to start right away. I knew right away it was a scam because Comcast is an internet and TV provider and they phone number to access to do a zoom meeting from from the UK even though it was suppose to be job in Rochester NY. I also was suspicious when it stated I could start right away with no interview or phone call. It is concerning that this scammer is now using real job hunting websites to scam people. Luckily there were too many red flags to ignore. Even the pay for the job was not listed as outrageous. Only offering $20 an hour plus tips which is an average pay rate for this area.

I seem to have a scam come through and I do want to report this. They told me I won $2.5 million and that the Federal Trade Commission out of California has it on hold until I follow these things that I have to do to be able to get it. And they sent me documents from the Federal Trade Commission, the Better Business Bureau, and the IRS. And they told me I didn't have to pay any taxes until you file your taxes for the year. She sent me by email all these documents. So far they've not asked for any kind of money or my bank account. I'm like, I know not to do that. But I thought, are they going this far now, sending you supposedly government document?
