Employment

I applied for the job on Indeed, and it was marketed as advertised positions for executive assistant, data entry, and customer service - all remote work positions. They emailed me to offer a virtual interview. The interview was conducted over Microsoft Teams - for a Japanese company, this felt legit to me. Upon hiring me, they told me a list of benefits and onboarding instructions, as well as sent me all the correct IRS forms you'd normally fill out upon starting a new job. In order to perform the job remotely and accurately track hours, they said they'd send me a check to cover the cost of equipment needed for the work. One check arrived, and I was told to deposit it using my bank's mobile deposit system. It wouldn't deposit initially, so they sent me another check and asked me to deposit it in person at my bank. It appeared to deposit. However, AFTER they convinced me their associates who send out the technology needed required Venmo payment and me making thousands of dollars of payments, their checks bounced back, and I was overdrawn at my bank. I don't know what I'm going to do now because I did contest the Venmo payments since it turned out to be a scam, and I did message Venmo's customer service (it's incredibly hard to speak with an actual human that works for Venmo). I'm currently still in the negatives, so I am left feeling defeated and not knowing how I'm going to pay for things. I mostly am just sharing to help others not fall for the same thing. These people prey on desperation, and I was desperate to get full time work after parting ways with a former employer. I am educated and did my research, and these people appeared to be reputable. I actually name-matched their employee status with LinkedIn profiles, so the scam is very difficult to detect...until it suddenly isn't. It feels awful.

I placed an order on 6/1/25 and never received it. I sent an email on 7/6/25 to their email [email protected] and they claimed it had been delivered which it had not. They agreed to resend the order and as of 7/22/25 I had not received it but they again claimed it had been delivered and gave me a tracking number. The tracking number was to a fake. I emailed them back and told them it was not a legit app and it was a scam and requested a refund. They said they could refund 70%.... I'm not holding my breath on getting it.

I am constantly receiving several daily calls from various numbers from a lady named Evelyn telling me she’s trying to connect me to “funding approval”. It appears to be a recording from the company “Lending Union West Coast Branch”. Every time I block the number, she calls from a different one. These calls are causing me anxiety and I want them to stop.

This is unstoppable and unblockable because they never use the same number twice. They are using a service for random phone number generating and seem to be mass spam calling multiple people.

Online Purchase - WinRed

Winred changed $10 donation to $100/month. Was to Trump campaign in 2024, monthly payment. I KNOW I NEVER entered that amount. I'm so paranoid about tricks people use on these sites, so was very careful when donated. I'm on disability so there's NO way I'd give this much. Winred 100% fraudulently added a zero to my donation amount. Received new debit card, and the charges kept coming. How? Have new card now, due to fraud alert. I don't know how I could've missed this on statement. Possibly just glanced over the name and assumed it was for $10. I'm sick about this. The amount stolen is probably way higher. Bank notified me of the charges when had to go to bank for new card. Saw fraud went back to Jan 2025. Didn't think Repub party site would steal from people.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I ordered 2 100% human hair wigs that were supposed to be salt and pepper in color. The wigs are absolutely not 100% human hair and they are not salt and pepper and very poor quality. I requested a refund and asked several times for the return address. They kept offering me $5, 8, and then $12 to keep the product. I denied all of their offers and asked them to stop sending them but they did not. Once I finally received the return address they told me the return is at my expense and "that the product could possibly get lost" which means I may not receive my money. The estimated return cost is $25-$30. I used my debit card to pay. I did not see that as an option when asked. The return address they provided is: Room 312, Building 1, Creative Space Center, No. 3 Qunhui Road, Baoan District, Shenzhen Guangdong, China Postal Code 518101. Thank you

Retail Business - US Motors

This car dealership knowingly sold me a car with a bad transmission and did not disclose it at the time of sale. They advertised it as safe/drivable, however 30 min after leaving the dealership catastrophic failures in the vehicle became apparent. I took the car to a mechanic and they diagnosed the vehicle with a bad transmission and noted that these issues had been present for a long time and the seller certainly knew about them. The seller has you sign void warranty contracts however those contracts do not protect them from fraud. The car is mechanically totaled with 5k+ in damages. The seller has not responded to any of my attempts to contact them. They have done this to multiple people as is clear on google reviews. Unfortunately I did not know I was buying from a dealer until I got there and did not read the reviews. Misrepresenting the condition of a vehicle and selling it as safe/drivable when known catastrophic failures are present is a fraudulent business practice.
