Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Timeshare Scam

Got a phone call with an offer to rent out my Interval getaway weeks to offset my timeshare maintenance fees. They said I had 12 weeks valued at $399.00 that I didn't use, and that to use them I'd normally have to sit for a timeshare presentation. They also mentioned $11,208, which I didn't understand what that was referring to. They said they had corporate buyers who would "buy" the weeks from me for $2100 for clients who would use them for conventions, etc. I got transferred to 3 different agents during the call. At one point someone said the offer expired in 45 minutes. Of course, I was suspicious. When I asked them if I had to provide them with any money for this to happen they said I did. That's when I confirmed (in my mind) that this was a scam, so I hung up.

Employment - Phishing - Employment Solicitation Scam - StarRocks Impostor

Hi, I'm Helen, have a great day. I got your number from Emma, and I heard you're looking for a full-time or part-time job. Do you have time to check in now? I look forward to hearing from you.???? ... am glad to receive your reply. What I want to share with you is a remote online job. You can choose full-time or part-time, work through mobile phone or computer, no experience is required, and it is easy to get started. The salary is between 100-500 US dollars per day ... We work for an international app promotion company (StarRocks). App developers publish their apps on the (StarRocks) platform. All we need is to help them optimize the data traffic and ranking of the apps to attract more users to download and use them. The company will provide the website address of the work platform. We register a work account and work through this platform every day. There is an ASO system on the platform that can assist us in completing our work ... Salary is paid in 3 installments. If you work for 5 consecutive days, you will get the first salary of 800 USD. If you work for 15 consecutive days, you will get the second salary of 1500 USD. If you work for 30 consecutive days, you will get the third salary of 3800 USD ... After one month of work, the company's financial officer will contact you to ask for your state ID and SSN as well as the tax forms you need ... Website is https://app.starrocks-global-aso.com/#/login I was given an invitation code. But first I used a search engine to search for that website and found the BBB citation that it was a scam. I have not deleted the WhatsApp conversation that was over a period of multiple days. The training wage I was offered matched the description in the BBB Scam ID #1038743. So I blocked that phone number from contacting me again on WhatsApp. I am quite positive that the work described to me has nothing to do with the legitimate StarRocks database and analysis software. I used to do that kind of work (Systems Admin of a really huge productive database). I'm glad there was a report of this scam -- I was actually quite suspicious even from the start but it did seem quite plausible. My familiarity with companies like StarRocks really meant that I knew the work described was not related to that company or software. Thanks, **** ******

https://tinythinkers.co/ https://mytinythinker.com/ I clicked on a Facebook advertisement for a children's tracing workbook and it took me to one of these websites. The website is very attractive and describes these workbooks as being the #1 teacher recommended learning tool. They boast about having thousands of 5 star reviews. I ordered a set of five workbooks, which came with pens. They claimed this set was worth hundreds of dollars, and that it was on sale for $29.99. I did actually pay for and receive real products, which included the workbooks and pens. The photos on the website showed full-size workbooks, but the ones I received are about the size of an index card. The scam was when I began to see monthly charges of $29.99 from their company on my credit card, which they billed as a "subscription". They never mentioned a subscription alongside their product or on their website. I never received confirmation that I was being signed up for one, or that I was being offered any additional services or resources. I scoured their website for a way to contact them, and only found one email address. I also realized that their website has no place for customers to leave reviews, despite showing photos of glowing reviews. That is when I realized that at the bottom of the website, it simply says "2025". Someone created the business this year, and fabricated all of these reviews and teacher recommendations. They do ship a real product; however, the product purchase is simply how they get your credit card for the scam subscription. When I emailed them to ask how I can leave a review, I did receive a prompt response. They told me to visit their website and leave a review. I replied to tell them that I can't find the place to leave a review, and asked for a direct link, then they told me that I should email them my review.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

I order the dress and received the item is completely different from what I originally ordered. ( totally different design, fabric, and print) I am very surprised and dissatisfied that such a mistake could occur. So I request refund. Here’s the answer from the company: As outlined in our Return Policy, the cost of returning items is the responsibility of the customer. Your order was fulfilled from our distribution center in China, and for that reason all returns must be sent back to this location. This global distribution strategy allows us to offer a wide selection of products at competitive prices, but we also recognize that international returns can come with challenges. Returning an item to China can be quite costly, with shipping fees starting at $30 or more depending on your location and courier. Additionally, international returns typically take around 3–4 weeks to reach our warehouse, and once received, another 1–2 weeks are required for inspection and processing. Some returns may also face customs holds, additional taxes, or even rejection, which would be beyond our control. If the package is refused or lost in transit, we would not be able to issue a refund. To save you from these costs and delays, I personally spoke with my manager and was able to secure a special exception for you as a first-time customer. If you choose to keep the item, we can offer you an immediate 10% refund, and as a goodwill gesture, a 20% discount code (THANKYOU20) for your next order to ensure you have a better experience with us in the future. Additionally, if you do not wish to keep the item, you might consider selling it locally or donating it to a charity. This way, you can recoup some of the cost or contribute to a good cause while avoiding the challenges of an international return. If you still prefer to return the item, the return address is as follows: Name: Mr. Pam Telephone: +86 136 4666 8866 Address: World Trade Center Rihu Center, Building 4, 4th Floor, Yong Jiang Street City: Ningbo Province: Zhejiang Zip Code: 315020 Country: China

They asked for ID, social security number, address, etc.. I gave them everything. After this I was told I needed to purchase an online course from Appen USA Academy to move onto the next step, which I also did. The “course” was $35.99 and only consisted of a few bulletin points with common sense information. The next step after purchasing a course was to contact an HR member. I tried to message HR multiple times but never got a response. I finally realized something sketchy was going on so I did some research. Turns out Appen USA Talent is posing as a company called Appen. I found quite a few people who have also fallen for this scam.
