Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Fake Invoice from Imposter

Scammer sent an email claiming to be instructions from another person in our business to pay an overdue invoice for consulting, coaching, and development services. The email was recognized as a common scam that has been targeting various people in our business for about a year. It always comes from a different email address, and varies some of the language and the person in the business supposedly approving the invoice for payment.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

Store was identified on Facebook as going out of business. Provided photographs of beautifully designed items listed as being of precious stones and metals. Items received looked like cheap replicas of the items depicted online. Photographer must have been excellent to make these cheap items look like they did. Even thought the items were marked down 80% or so, the prices were still "generous" for the items received. One item I ordered was a hanging pendant pearl necklace. The hanging pendant wasn't affixed and appears to actually be plastic pearl shaped beads. A rose gold ring looks like rose gold painted (possibly plated) steel that was roughly bent into a ring shape and affixed with some accoutrements. A gold link and precious stone necklace is pretty but stones are no bigger than the head of a pin, and the length is much longer than the choker length depicted. Now that I look at the website, the absence of a phone number and headquarters location is telling. I guess I was stunned by the very beautiful designs and the chance to purchase jewelry for upcoming travel and events that I've never been able to afford in the past. Yes, it was too good to be true.

Online Purchase - Wellamoon Amberatrium Limited

I placed an order for Wellamoon sleep patches on Aug. 3, 2025. They charged my Paypal $15.69. Immediately after I placed that order, I saw another charge on my same Paypal account for $39.59. It showed another order of patches, plus pillow spray plus shipping. Shipping was free on my $15.69 order. I did not place this second order, but I was charged for it. I immediately sent an email to [email protected] (one of 2 emails they use) telling them I did not place a second order for $39.59. The next day I received a response from Chatterly of the Wellamoon Team saying that order was already in transit, and they were unable to cancel or refund the order at that stage. I have sent many emails to [email protected]. They are giving me the run-a-round. They point out that the second package for $39.59 was delivered. But I didn't order it!!!! The single package of sleep patches that I originally ordered never arrived. SCAM. Wellamoon/AmberatriumLimited added an extra order that I did not place. I've filed a claim with Paypal, but since Wellamoon shows a package was delivered, they aren't doing anything to get my money refunded. I've seen many other people complaining on Wellamoon's facebook page about this same scam. I've commented on facebook warning about this scam. How do I get my money back?

I disputed the transaction with my bank but the company provided a photo and receipt of my purchase (the price is the same) but the order that came was NOT what I ordered. There were 4 figurines, one was the right one but it was broken and the other 3 are NOT what I ordered. I appreciate your help!

Employment - Employment

I was approached by a representative for a job as a package auditor for this company. I was told I was helping foreign buyers simplify the shipping process of ordering merchandise from companies here in the USA by acting as a package auditor inspecting shipped merchandise then resealing the package and taking it to UPS, Fed Ex or other companies with a new shipping label to a different address inside the USA. In return I would be paid a base salary of $4300 monthly plus attendance and shipping bonuses. Of course there is a “probationary period” of 30 days before I would be paid my first paycheck. I did not fill out a W4 or I 9 . This was my first experience with this so I was willing to follow my “supervisors” instructions and re-shipped 4 packages. My first red flag was being told I needed to go on a VIP run to a local business to pick up a package. I saw the address of the customer and saw that it was a legitimate local business. I called the customer directly and asked them if they wanted me to deliver their order to them directly as I thought was part of my job description. The company owner said she had no idea what I was talking about and said further that she never buys anything from that store. Another red flag was having a false business associated with my name. I have since stopped shipping the remaining items I have been sent and am now working on returning the items that I am certain were l illegally purchased by stolen CC information. Since I have refused to forward these remaining packages I have had several people call , email, and text me. I also showed the local police my evidence and even called a vendor for one of the items . Now they are threatening legal action against me which I find ironic being as they have used my name and address to create a bogus business account.

CryptoCurrency - CryptoCurrency Scam

Bitmacoin. I had came across this from YouTube ad about a guy talking about AI Trading. Fast forward when clicking the link to register. You automatically get sent to a group chat in WhatsApp. I was confused at first but I didn’t think nothing of it. Afterward I believe I spoke with Evelyn Langley first and she was going over how to register with BITMACOIN. The app had went my info like ID AND SSN. Unfortunately I provided that and the verification process was approved within seconds, that was another red flag. So basically I was instructed to take trade from their daily trade signals. None of which I knew what I was doing and how it works. Never spoke with actual people within this whole process. I kept see my money going up but at the same time was confused because I wasn’t sure how you can withdraw your funds. Just of recent they announce live listings of ICO tokens and you have the chance to win 200% profit. What of the token I have has a potential but I have to put 50,000 USD in order to acquire them. I found this extremely sketchy. Evelyn kept explaining this is how you can jump start your trading portfolio so on and so forth. Then when I had tell her that I will figure out how to acquire the funds. I started researching about Bitmacoin, and people keep saying it is a scam. I am not sure what they will do to my information I sent at the beginning but I want to report this because his is fraud. Do anyone know how I can report information leaks.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Phishing - Fake HOA Notice Scam

I received an email with a PDF attachment for an invoice to pay for my homeowners association fees. However, I don’t live in an HOA community. When I called to talk to someone, it was clearly an AI response who would not give any specific information, only general statements. I asked to confirm the address for the property in question and the response was, I would receive an email confirming. None of the emails that they sent have an address for the property. The emails and invoices look very official. When I received a response via email about the property in question, they did not verify an address and stated that this is a legitimate fee and will remain attached to the property in question and fees would continue to accrue. Also, I could not find a valid website.

I’ve been warned about certain Avis locations making up charges but this was an all time weird one. When I asked over the phone why I was being charged “miscellaneous” he said it smelled bad in there like Chinese food. Which is odd because I did not smoke nor did I eat any food in there as the drive was relatively short. When I asked how he came to this conclusion and why I was being charged based off a hunch he told me he can’t help me and I have to figure it out. I have heard nothing from Avis about any of this for a solution. I believe I was charged an extra $100 for nothing. It’s a scam.

I wanted to know about the status of this complaint. I was looking for a vehicle warranty. so then I had a notice in the mail about an auto warranty. I called this company named Vehicle Assurance. I spoke to a representative and he told me that I will get a call back from the agent. Then after a little while I received a call from the agent and wanted me to put money down payment. I told him I cannot use my debit card because I needed to change a different card number. He told me I can use a check. I told him I can send the down payment with Zelle from my bank account. He told me that he can use a check that he has and to give him my account number so I did. They took out a sum of money from my bank account. So I called that same number from this company and he said he was getting ready to call me back. I told him what had happened and he said that was not them. It must of been from a marketing or 3rd party call. I looked in my bank statement and right away I seen the check #600 and the whole amount they withdrew. The real company charged me less amount than the first one did. I went down to my bank and I got everything changed. New account numbers.

Home Improvement - Home Improvement - Homefix roofing and masonry

Scammer approached home owner about chimney inspection. He went on the roof, showed evidence of loose brick work on the chimney. He made a convincing argument that immediate action was needed to avoid the chimney collapsing and damaging neighbouring property. They left their ladder and ropes to get onto the roof at residence and booked return date. Returned a few days later to start the rest of the work. They stated that the entirety of the chimney needed to be removed and rebuilt. He kept adding issues that needed to be fixed. He had a video showing woodworm rot on plywood decking of roof. He said that the roof needed to be removed and replaced. As well he said the siding was damaged with water getting into the wall due to cracks in the mortar. He stated that besides the roof, chimney, siding, the eavestroughs needed replacing. He also stated that due to the damage to the house, the homeowner would not be able to reside in the house until the work was completed. That instilled fear and urgency of how serious the problem was. It was later realized that the video was fake. They placed business sign on the property, they had a digital copy of the business licence. That they had 5 star reviews. He said he had a friend who was a building inspector for the city of Hamilton. The supposed inspector called homeowner to vouch for the fake contractor and gave the name of an actual city employee. The scammers had British accents, he (scammer) said the business was inherited after his father retired. He and his younger brother were onsite (he stated that one of the other workers was his brother). The scammers had brown hair and facial hair. The apparent owner had veneered teeth, British accent, stated he was 46 years old. He went by the name of John McGill. They drove a black Dodge Ram pick up truck with the plate number: CD 93363

Online Purchase - Clothing Purchase

Ordered 2 pairs of shoes and they arrived many sizes too big and the material was plastic and not leather as advertised. The company says that they are canadian but the address for returns is in China. The cost to return these shoes to China was more than the original cost. I was offered a 20% refund by the "company" which never came. A complete scam!

Employment - Employment Scam

Company doesnt seem legit, asking for a selfie of yourself holding your government issued ID. No way to know who you are speaking with as there is no vetting- you get a call that tell you about the job the first pay being one lump sum and ask you to check your email before they get off the phone. Id be less skeptical if there was a video chat, or if their name pulled anything decent up during a simple internet search. The idea is they send you packages for you to open inspect repCk and send back out- which also seems suspicious to me.
