I looked the name up on line and found it was a scam. So please don't call these people or give them money. Look at how they phrase their words and you will see it is a scam.

Phishing - ApplePay Impostor

I received a message on my cell phone that $224,08 was placed through my ApplePay account. If you did not authorise this , then please contact our team at 8444993127. I called that number to say I don't have an ApplePay account, and I didn't know why I received this message. I was told my bank had approved the tranactions, but since this transaction had just occured they would cancel it. Next I was told that another transaction for $1,499.00 had been approved by my bank. I said that I hadn't approved that transaction. They transfered me to Troy Miller, Employee #NC170181. Mr. Miller explained this was a scam and he would try to help me. His title was Deputy Inspector General of the Federal Trade Commission. He told me I would need to take $1,500.00 out of my Bank and buy Wal Mart visa cards in $500.00 increments, give him the number on the cards and these amounts would be deposited into an account to trace the person using my account. I asked how I would be reimbursed and was told I would receive a check for $1,500.00 within 24 hours. I purchased two gift cards from the Brimfield Wal Mart and one $500.00 gift card from the Arlington Wal Mart. The Arlington WI could not do thatal Mart sold me a Vanilla Visa gift card. Mr. Miller told me that was the wrong type of Visa card. He wanted me to return or exchange it for the right type of Visa card. The Brimfield Wal Mart agent told me she couldn't exchange, return or refund me my money for this card. I explained this to Mr. Miller, then he wanted me to purchase another Visa card. I told him I wouldn't return to Wal Mart a fourth time. I beg him to return or refund my money from the three Visa card. He told me I would receive a check today. That is when I realized I had been scammed. My $1,500.00 was gone and either I wasn't going to receive a refund or I would receive a worthless check. I know there is probably nothing you can do to help me. I also called my bank, Chase, and reported the scam. I was told there was nothing they could do, since I had willing withdrawn the money from my bank. If possible can you cathch these frauds or at least warn other people with limited income to be aware of scams like this.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

A online company representing themselves with name brand hats. When the confirmation for my purchase stated it could take as long as 30 days I attempted to cancel the order. Myhathaven stated the order was being expedited and could not stop the process. All that is untrue. I then began looking into complaints and discovered I was probably decieved as others had been. The hat arrived 2 months later, and it was not what was represented. I may as well have taken a lighter to my money, as the outcome would be the same.

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product

Order # 250615223202333 I ordered a July 4th wreath for my front door which I saw advertised on Facebook by a company called Topveden. I ordered the large size -16 inch. I eagerly awaited my purchase. I was shocked when it arrived in a flat envelope that measured 15x12. The wreath did not meet the description on the Facebook page. It was one dimensional. Their Facebook page states that they want you to be totally satisfied —100 % Money back guarantee with your purchase. I was not even a little bit pleased. I sent them an email and requested a refund. I was offered $3.33 refund for my $29.99 purchase plus I would be required to pay the return shipping which they warned me would be around $20. Funny how they only charged me $6.99 for shipping. This company operates a fraudulent business both in the product they sell and the customer service they offer. I requested a full refund and a shipping label to return their wreath. I am reporting this because I do not want anyone else to waste their money and be defrauded. Here is the first email I received from them after I complained about the item they had sent me.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - UniqueTravelCo

I learned about her services through a recommendation from a friend. She initially appeared trustworthy and friendly, scheduling two cruises for me 1.5 years in advance and collecting deposits for each. However, six months before the cruise, she removed my name from the booking and replaced it with her own. When I requested a refund, she refused, leading me to contact the cruise line and discover that she had manipulated the booking to make it appear as though she had paid all the money. I felt betrayed and helpless when I realized she had taken advantage of my trust and hard-earned money.

Employment

I received a text from someone named Eric T***** who stated they were the special payroll specialist for Keller Williams Real Estate and wanted to offer me the position of personal assistant. I am currently seeking a part-time position and assumed it was legit at first because they claimed to have gotten my resume off a job app where I posted it. I asked about a zoom meeting because I became suspicious that they did not want to interview me for the position to see if I was a good fit. Instead they stated that once I receive the payment, they will personally instruct me on how to get the supplies and equipment from a guaranteed source to have the items delivered to my address overnight. Then, I'll begin training. I was then sent a link to Cmefgroup Savings Bank with an account number and password. I stopped responding soon after.

Saw an advertisement for a flashlight on Instagram and decided to purchase it. Everything seemed fairly legitimate. A link to a tracker was included in support emails, but the package was not tracked further after arriving to the US. After a month passed, I reached out to their support email and was notified that another package would be sent. After another month of waiting, it still hasn't arrived. I reached out to the support team again demanding a refund and was told that it couldn't be processed due to the product being on the way. I then told them I was filing a complaint with the BBB.

Online Purchase - My Hat Haven

I purchased a hat on myhathaven, seemingly legit site. It's been months since I've ordered this item. I've tried their customer service and keep getting a robotic service, never can reach a person. It takes days to get any kind of response. When I do it's the response is automated to allow more time, and after weeks of waiting, now my order was lost in transit, they wish to give me my order to me a replacement for free. I doubt very much that I'll ever see my money or my order. I haven't seen either. It's been over two months. No response to speak of, no return of money, and no item. I ordered this item in May and we're gong into August. I think I've been very patient. This is ridiculous.

Online Purchase - Terry Rottweiler Puppies

After submitting an inquiry for a Rottweiler puppy at 10:00pm, i got a text within 5-10 minutes from “Terry” asking me to confirm i was interested in the specific dog i selected. I confirmed. They then told me the dog would come with papers and 2 years of dog health insurance and asked where i was located, i gave my State and asked theirs, they said North Carolina and said they could have the dog delivered to me that same day or the next day. I asked for documentation or something showing proof that the business was legitimate and was told they don’t share documentation, but that the dog would definitely arrive with papers. I explained i wasn’t comfortable moving forward with the transaction/process unless i could verify it was legitimate and asked if they had a Facebook page or could provide the AKC registration number/info for the parent dogs, and they read my message and never responded.

To Whom It May Concern, I am writing to formally dispute the validity of a debt that has been reported under my name. I have recently been contacted by January Technologies Inc., claiming they purchased a debt originally owned by another collector. However, I have no knowledge of this debt and firmly assert that it is fraudulent. At the time of the alleged debt, I was a victim of identity theft. This debt was not authorized by me, nor did I receive any services or funds related to it. Furthermore, January Technologies has failed to provide me with the original statement or any verifiable documentation proving that this debt is legitimately mine. According to the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act (FDCPA), I am requesting full validation of this debt, including: • The name of the original creditor, • The original account number, • A copy of the signed agreement or application, • A complete payment history, • And any documentation showing I had knowledge of or responsibility for this debt. Until this information is provided, I do not acknowledge this debt and request that all collection activity cease immediately. Additionally, this fraudulent account must be removed from all consumer credit reports in accordance with the Fair Credit Reporting Act (FCRA). Sincerely,
