They think I am going to close my account once I receive the money. Mr. Williams said I need to send $250. Then they will fund the loan and know I am trust worthy. I sent the momey via Cash App. That was on August 2nd. I was told there was an error with transferring the $5000. That it will be taken care of Monday, August 4th. I have not heard from them since.

I sent Brenda a deposit of 300.00 to start the shipment, then next morning this company contacted me by text message to ask if I would receive the shipment I stated yes, they went on to state there was insurance to pay to deliver but it would be refunded. I paid the 299 after I paid that fee, they stated it was 200 extra for stamp delivery. I told them I would not pay anymore, they told me it would be refunded apon delivery, I contacted Brenda Marie to tell her the problem she stated I could not come pick up the animal because I choose shipping and I had to pay the 200 to receive the animal. after I paid her 300 and the shipping place 299. they were stating more money, or I would not receive the Maine coon.

I was approached by a company claiming to be shoplazza. They claimed that you took 40 orders to review and leave feedback and then you are paid money according to how much the items were sold for. It seemed it was commission based at .05% of the purchase item. But then, if there was not enough money in your profit zone, you had to initially put up the money through crypto and you would receive a larger return. I did receive several hundred dollars the first few times. Then the amounts kept getting bigger that you had to pay until you could not complete your order. If you can’t complete your order, then you do not get your money back and the company will not let you choose a different product or order to complete. I have lost $4725. The company states until I complete the order of $7993 then I cannot get my return back. Now, they are claiming my return or profit if all is paid is $32,000. I recognized the scam too late. Please do not become a victim to this company.

The person left voice mail with the first part in a different voice stating there was a complaint about me. Then it changed to a different voice with a pre-recorded message with something about a case number and I need to be home to sign when the delivery agent. The number on Caller ID was 412-293-8652 and the number they left on the voice mail was 951-808-5640. I did not call either number back because it is so vague and no company name was given.

Debt Collections - Allied Legal Group IMPOSTER

This alleged company says to contact them about a debt I owe. But I can't reach them. The phone number they gave doesn't work and neither does the website. The contact info provided in my letter is: 1(800)485-3191 and the website is: www.MyAlliedLegal.com. They claim to be debt collectors for EZMONEY loan (a subsidiary of EZCORP). They say I had a payday loan and setup ACH payment thru my bank account then immediately closed my account. I can assure you I never did that. I currently pay bills automatically with ACH on the due dates and have been doing this for years with some of the companies I pay monthly. I don't want any trouble. They say they will have my ex-husband and my daughter testify against me! If I truly owed this bill, why can't I reach them? Who else can we report this to? Can't they be arrested for all these false claims they are making against people and digging up personal information on us?

Employment - Task-based employment scam

Was contacted via Whats app by someone posing as Chloe. She asked if I was interested in working freelance work and earning endless money working from any device with internet. The company that on-boarded me is called Cendyn. Chloe was my mentor showing me the ropes. You essentially have to invest a small amount of your money into this platform in order to start working. You process hotel reviews and get “paid” to do it. Long story short they make it so you keep in investing in order to continue completing tasks which once completed pay you back your funds you invested plus commission. There are bonus structures as well. Problem is the rules are vague , my mentor was a terrible teacher and stopped answering half my questions. Everytime I hit a combo task my account balance would go into a negative and I would have to transfer more money to this platform in order to get the balance out of the native to complete my tasks and withdraw my funds. You cannot withdraw your funds till the tasks are completed each day. Problem is the more money you have in your platform account the more your tasks are worth so if you hit combo tasks you go further into the negatives and have to invest more and more of your own money. Next thing I knew I invested $20,800 without a single pay day. Last set of tasks I hit a combo task which brought my account balance to a negative $11,731.88 USD. I do not have the funds to top up my account to complete the task, the platform won’t allow me to withdraw anything I invested. My mentor now told me that she has access to my account somehow and will be selling my account to someone else who can complete the task. She said that because I haven’t been able to continue working she is no longer able to get commission for being my mentor. When I told her that I didn’t give permission for her to do anything with my account and none of those funds are hers she laughed and said too bad for me. She has taken control of my account somehow and rest my password. The whole platform is a scam. They want you to keep investing and digging yourself deeper and deeper into a hole until you can no longer afford to invest anything else and then they take over your account cash your funds and move onto the next victim. Stay clear of this company. These people are twisted and shallow. They will take you for everything you have.
