Home Improvement - Mile High Fence and Landscaping

I hired this fence contractor from Angi.com. He purported to be a legimate fence installer. The company that actually has an online presence and provides quality work is Mile High Fence and Landscape LLC. Preston pushed back the start date several times and finally showed up to begin installing my fence. My contract stated the posts were to be buried 2 feet deep. After discovering multiple posts out of plumb and loose I decided to record myself pulling every single post of the ground with one hand and used a measuring tape to show the depth. There was not a single post that was buried more than 12".

Government Agency Imposter - NYS DMV Imposter - Fake Bill Alert - Phishing Scam

Text from +63 939 202 2503 said it was NYS DMV and it read "Final Notice: Enforcement Begins July 13th".(which would be the coming Monday) It said that their "records show" that I had an "outstanding traffic ticket". Their text read: "Pursuant to NYS Motor Vehicle Code D508-12.083", if I didn't pay they would take actions, including; Report to DMV Violation Database, Suspend my vehicle registration, Suspend driving privileges, as well as "Go to a toll booth and pay a 40% service fee"- What ever that means. It also stated that I may be prosecuted and my credit score would be affected. Then it offered me to "Pay Now" and gave a website... https://nydmv.org-tolh.cc/pay. Then they got nice and wrote "Please pay now, before enforcement, to avoid a license suspension and further legal trouble." In closing, they made a suggestion to "(Reply Y and reopen this message to click the link, or copy it to your browser)." Needless to say, I did not.

Bank of America letter stating that they tried to contact me by e mail and the email was being returned. Very official looking paperwork in my mail box dated June 2025. I called the number and on hold with a computer very long time to speak with a person live. I refused to give my six sec number but reiterated my address and full name. I am not aware of any business with Bank of America therefore I was concerned that an account may have been opened in my name. They would not transfer me to their fraud dept not give a fraud dept address to forward this official looking paper . The number I called was on the paper as 8009336262. The person named Carlson told me to take picture of the letter and send it to abuse at bosa.com. After hanging up I used google to get another phone number for Bank of America which is different . I also googled real address for Bank of America which is abuse@bankof America.com. Very close email . I have not taken a picture of the letter and will be calling the googled Bank of America number as well as finding an address to forward this letter to them with a real mail address . This has taken up a number of hours of my weekend just trying to get through in a call . My main concern is to protect others and to make sure that I actually don’t have an account with Bank of America . As far as I know I do not have an account with them and I am hoping no one has opened one in my name ! This scam is very real looking and way to close to perfect paperwork if it is a scam . I was told basically to ignore it and forget about it . It’s not easy to forget considering credit scams . I will be calling the official Bank of America number to pursue this further .

Employment - Employment Solicitation Scam

I received an email from someone claiming to be a hiring manager. First they said my application had been received and the next day I received another email telling me the original position I applied for had been filled, but they thought my skills matched another position they had open. I was directed to set up a meeting with their Founder to discuss the position, pay, etc. The meeting was scheduled through Calendly (which is why I wasn’t originally hesitant) and there I found out the first name of the Founder was Jacob. Still no information on what the company was or the position I was going to be discussing, though. That was the first thing that had me thinking something might be off. Only available meeting day was the next day (Sunday), which I thought was kind of weird. Still I scheduled it. Received a confirmation text and emails and still no further company info. Something definitely felt off, so first I tried to google the site that the original email came from and found nothing. Then I googled the number of the confirmation text, which led to a bunch of posts on many different sites about it being a scam.

Online Purchase - Closetty

I saw the add on Instagram with clothes from the brand Billabong in sale. I selected clothes, hats, swimsuits, backpacks, and bags. There was saying a big sale because the brand was declaring banckrupcy. I research on google and there was saying the brand really was having issues. I believed the add, spend $101.27 in goods that was important to me. I also paid $1.99 for shipping insurance. They sent an email confirmation and there was a link to see my order and a tracking number REDC7398386334. It was supposed to take up to 30 days, and on day 30th after shipping I saw a late update on tracking, saying it was delivered. Getting home there was no box, I was expecting a big package for the amount of goods. There was no box, but inside my mailbox I got a small package with my name and address, with a fake ring. i emailed them, the only way of contact.was by email. The answer was that they are a very serious company, that the ring was gift they sent me to confirm my address, that I have to answer a question if I accept to have my order resend to me in 7-15 days. I said yes, please send the good I paid for. But I was suspicious and researched. I see that email was used for online scams and that Billabong sale can be a scam too. Then I found that website and I am doing my first report. Thank you very much for making this service.
