Business Email Compromise - New York State Electric & Gas Corp Imposter

Similar to other reported incidents, received a “courtesy call” from a man saying he was with NYSEG dispatch and making sure we knew about upcoming disconnect scheduled to happen in 1 hour due to non payment on account. He Proceeded to ask for last 3 payments and dates and then gave reference number and phone number to call. I Called the number and was told power would be shut off for my business in 30 minutes unless I went to an office to pay. After many questions and much back and forth and several lost phone connections, I was told by contact Miranda that the disconnect crew was in the area but she would postponed our disconnect until I could get to the nearest payment center in a Walmart and use a special code she will text me when I get there so they will apply the cash payment to my account. My business has multiple accounts so when I asked if the payments were just misallocated to the wrong account she said she couldn’t tell. If that were the case then a refund would be issued in 2-3 business days (this was all at noon on a Saturday ) After hanging up with Miranda I called the 800 number on my actual NYSEG bill to check status on all accounts and found two with 0 balance and one with a credit, which matched my records.

Employment - Employment - Fake Check - Equipment Purchasing Scam

To keep it as brief as possible, this so-called "accountant" blackmailed me into buying gift cards just to supply the "hardware" for my former campus, John Jay College of Criminal Justice. In reality, she is not an accountant but rather a scammer who took advantage of me with her email saying she's legit, and she gave me a blind eye to the 4 paychecks that looked real, and it actually worked as a mobile deposit. Luckily, I didn't write my actual Account Number. She even threatened to frame me if I do not pay the supplier on time (Venmo: @Oneca46) through my Campus Police and Homeland Security with Fraud and Money Laundering. When the first two paychecks got bounced back, it was alright since I could recover them on my own, plus I always lock my Debit when I'm not using the ATM. But when I told Christi that I do not want to work this business anymore, that is when she not only used me by sending me a 5th check that needed to be deposited, but also bounced the 3rd and 4th paychecks. Please help me recover my money. I have worked to save up for my plans.

They advertised leather shoes, I received them after about 2 weeks and they were ridiculous. I'm not even sure I would say they were made with felt. They offered me $120% store credit which is ridiculous as I would never buy something from them again. The next offer was 25% of my payment and I could keep the cheap shoes. After that there was no response until I got my bank involved at which they offered me 40% of my refund and I could keep the shoes or if I want my full refund I have to pay to ship them back myself. Which I'm sure will not be cheap.

Online Purchase - Fabulous Sas

I signed up for a $1 trail of Fabulous apps. I cancelled my subscription before the $1 trial ended and was still charged. The apps I signed up for are meant to assist folks with executive functioning difficulties, but they are clearly predatory because they make canceling your subscription extremely difficult. An app that is designed to truly support people with executive functioning would not hide this option. An ethical app with this purpose, would make it clear how a user could cancel. The way I cancelled through the app appeared to be a complete cancellation (words that told me I had cancelled), but it turned out I ALSO had to go to the website to fully cancel and what I had done on my app before the deadline did not complete a cancellation. Even after I went through all the menus to cancel my free trial on the website, I was charged $39 twice. I communicated with customer service twice to request a refund and they did not rectify the issue or address my concerns. Furthermore, the Naming of the apps is confusing and different than what showed up on my credit card, which was "Fabulous Sas." I thought it was a fraudulent charge so I replaced my credit card and had to change my auto-payment on all my accounts. What a terrible, unethical company that feels like a scam. Do not use their trials or their apps. They are untrustworthy.

Online Purchase - Jabbering Jack Co

I saw an add on Facebook and ordered 1 Spooky Pops set for my students on September 24,2025. Order number 4889. Used shopify to pay. I got a confirmation email, then an updated shipping email with a tracking number. Tracking number first showed order processed but never updated after the 24th. Now link doesn’t work. The website said worldwide shipping will take 2 weeks. A month and 8 days later never got my product or any response from the company when I sent inquiries about it. I paid for something that never came. On the shopify app it says delivered on the 24th. How is that possible when I ordered it that day. No response from shopify also. Just that I need to contact the company.
