Employment - Employment Scam

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.

I was purchasing a Maine coon cat from a lady named Brenda Marie in Birmingham AL. 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 have screen shot messages from both people as I feel this is either the same person or a team. They also use the phone numbers 240-831-2054 and 269-403-9957. They requested money through Apple pay and chime only.

They also have been using this GitHub to change the rooted phones number and device info and merges it with their info.

Counterfeit Product - Luhita

I was looking up sales on Birkenstock Arizona Slides in Mocha color, and came across the Luhita website. They advertised, real Birkenstock's at a great price, $79.99. So, I ordered a pair on July 8th. I received an order confirmation, and a shipping confirmation. They didn't come, and they didn't come, and they didn't come. The tracking number I was given, showed that the shoes were stuck in customs in China, and waiting to ship. I contacted [email protected] and heard back from an individual, Tony Nguyen. He gave me a new tracking number, and said that the shoes were stuck in customs. Needless to say, the "fake" shoes did arrive last Thursday, July 31st, and I reached out the same day to try to get a return going. Nothing! It was a total scam. The shoes are NOT real, and I know because I have owned Birkenstock shoes for years. The shoe quality is terrible, and the spot where Birkenstock is stamped into the leather, on the shoes I received, they placed a sticker. The foot-bed is terrible and the cork looks fake. Needless to say, I am highly unimpressed.

I’m relocating to France in two weeks, and I’d prefer to give the piano to someone who genuinely loves the instrument, as I don’t feel right about selling it and that is why I'm donating it out. I didn’t want to leave it behind in an empty house. The piano is currently stored in a climate-controlled facility in Little Rock Arkansas with the movers handling the relocation of my belongings. If you'd like to arrange for delivery, I can provide you with their contact details. They offer reasonable rates. However, please note that I will not be covering the cost of delivery. I understand your concern about the cost of delivery and it’s completely reasonable to assume it might be high. However, I wanted to let you know that the moving company handling this offered me a reasonable discount. When I paid the storage fees then, the movers offered a generous discount that significantly lowered the overall delivery cost, based on the agreement that they would handle the final delivery as well. As a result, the total cost for delivery is quite reasonable. I encourage you to reach out to the moving company directly for an exact quote. I’d be happy to share their contact details with you if you're interested. I will be expecting to receive your response so I know what to do next.I hope this message finds you well. I'm writing to share something that is both personal and meaningful, in the hope that you or someone in your network might be interested in a special opportunity. I am donating a Yamaha Baby Grand Piano (GC1 model) free of charge, and I’m reaching out to see whether you, or perhaps someone you know be it a school, teacher, student, family, church, or musical organization might be able to give it a loving new home. This piano was treasured by my late husband, who passed away last year. He was an avid and passionate pianist, and music played a deeply enriching role in both his life and our home. Parting with this instrument has not been easy, but I know he would have wanted it to be used and appreciated, rather than sitting in storage. I see this as a way of honoring his memory by passing along the joy and comfort that this piano brought into our lives to someone who will continue that legacy. Piano Details: Model: Yamaha Baby Grand Piano (GC1) Dimensions: Approximately 161 cm x 149 cm Age: About 3 years old Condition: Impeccable; carefully maintained and gently used ( Excellent Condition ) Tuning: Last professionally tuned few months ago Photos: Attached for your review More than just a piano, this is a gift from the heart. My sincere hope is that it will go to someone or someplace where it will be played, loved, and cared for whether that’s a child learning to play, a teacher sharing music with students, a church congregation lifting their voices in song, or anyone else who finds healing or joy in music. If this speaks to you, or if you know someone who might be interested, please feel free to get in touch. You may also forward this message as you see fit. I'm happy to give more updates on the next step. Thank you for taking the time to consider this, and for helping me ensure this instrument finds a meaningful new life.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Fake Invoice - Phishing Scam

I received an email with attachments of an invoice and W9 several weeks ago from James Tapp of Precicion Analytics Consulting LLC for services that were not provided. His email address APPEARED to be [email protected], but it was ACTUALLY [email protected]. It was obviously a scam, so I deleted the email. Today, I received a follow up email from same person/same business. He forwarded the invoice/W9 again, along with email traffic between him and one of our "employees" named **** **** who was demanding immediate payment. We are a huge organization, and I don't know everyone, but a ********* **** has never been employed here, according to payroll records. I found someone's very similar story posted here, so I thought I would add my details. Maybe it will save someone from being scammed. Just like the story already posted here, the scammer's EIN was 83-2916508, and the banking info was the same: GO2bank, acct# ending with .......*******, routing number 124303162 as check payments and Bill.com are not accepted. I am sure the payment info leads to the scammer's bank account. GO2bank is a division of Green Dot. (Another red flag.) Here is an excerpt from the invoice: "Specialized R&D activities include in-depth analysis, strategic planning, and implementation of R&D initiatives tailored to enhance innovation and growth within the organization including Marketing, Business Research & Development Services for the months of (Feb., 3rd 2025 - Mar ., 31st 2025)."
