Debt Collections - Sunrise Asset Group

This company texted a family member and provided a number and described that they were trying to collect on a debt. I called them and inquired about this debt and was told they were a mediation group trying to settle this debt. I was asked to make an arrangement for payment and when asked about the validity of this debt was given a very non descriptive answer of this debt and that I was going to be getting a court summons for theft by check. They told me they would be sending a summons to appear in court and when I asked for something in writing to be mailed to me they said they couldn't do that because the verification time frame was over. It was the intent to "settle" this debt or be faced with court and all the costs involved with going to court. They were very adamant they were not a collection agency or a debt collector..

Online Purchase

I ordered two items of a product, via an app Shopify. Right after I received those ones, Goda automatically sent me two others products that I didn’t choose. They said because of the subcription plan, that I didn’t know either. When I contacted them to cancel the second order when I saw their notification email because they informed in the email I could cancel within 6 hours. But they replied and said they couldn’t because the order was sent. Their products have a really bad quality, I’m not sure it meets safe and healthy standards or not?

Investment - Hellobit, TSQ Investment Group

This is an active crypto Ponzi scheme targeting Polish immigrants in the Denver and surrounding areas through personal referrals, Telegram groups, and community networks (e.g., Polish churches and cultural events). Recruiters promise "AI trading signals" from a fake "Professor Henry Jones" for 1-2% daily returns on crypto deposits, but it's a classic pyramid: Early "payouts" come from new victims' money, and withdrawals are blocked after a mandatory 4-week "accumulation" wait. Key red flags: Invite-code only registration—no independent access. Deposits via crypto wallets (e.g., USDT), but withdrawals require "recruiting 2-3 new members" or paying escalating "verification fees/taxes" (10-50% of balance). Fake app balances grow to lure more deposits, then freeze with excuses like "technical issues" or "insufficient activity." One recruiter in the Denver cell claims dozens of recruits, pushing urgency: "Act now before signals end." No real trading occurs; it's all recruitment-driven. Global victims report total losses (e.g., $21k+ frozen), with no recoveries without further deposits. It's spreading via spam on X/Twitter and Facebook groups like "Nasza Spolecznosc." Colorado AG and FTC warnings align with patterns in similar scams (e.g., CoinPlex). Urge investigation—victims are too ashamed or loyal to report directly. Most are still convinced this is legitimate crypto investment and a common talking point is that "nobody I know has lost money."

Foreign Money Exchange - Foreign Money Exchange - Inheritance - Jerry Talley, Chartered Professional Accountants

The letter indicates they are looking for a next of kin for an un-dispersed life insurance policy valued at $10,670,300.00 and have reached out to my father based on his shared surname with the deceased. The letter suggests 10% of the policy should be donated to charity and the remaining 90% be split between the next of kin (my father) and Jerry Talley. A quick web search produced zero results for the deceased person's name and many references to a Jerry Talley scam. Another small detail - the letter was mailed to my father's work address, not home, although he is the business owner.
