Got a package from Amazon, but I didn't order it. Tried to connect with Amazon through the website but I kept getting the runaround. I couldn't find a phone number on the app, so I googled it and I got 877-705-1003. I called it and the number was answered as Amazon, I explained what happened and, in order for Amazon to help me, he; Alex from Amazon said he needed to connect to my Amazon account through Screen Connect. He told me that the purchase and payment came from PayPal.... He said that he needed to check virtual debit card, so he asked me to put 1234 in the virtual debit card. I said that I didn't feel comfortable doing it, but I did. He then said that he will erase it from the virtual debit card because I felt uncomfortable. After 30 minutes we got disconnected. Then it hit me! I checked my bank account and I was scammed out of $1234.00; 1234. I called my bank and they did a charge back until they could check out my claims. Oddly enough " Alex from Amazon" called me back and left his name through my Google assistant. The number he used was 540-845-8202. PayPal still sided with Mohammed Ahmed Almaghr even after all the information I provided. This happened to me on October 27, I disputed it to PayPal on the same day, five minutes later PayPal sided with Mohammed Ahmed Almaghr. I'm blown away by this and I can't believe that I let this happen.

Online Purchase - Luminon Nutrition/Total Healthy. Com/Cart Panda

I purchased 6 BARISLEN, order number 111092. These capsules were supposed to make you lose 8 pounds the first week without changing your diet or exercise. I took them for one full month and did not lose an ounce. I called today and explained that I wanted my money refunded. The girl kept giving me different amounts like one $$147, $168 and so on until I informed her that my purchase was 100% moneyback guarantee hundred percent satisfaction guaranteed! The ad said Just call their number within 180 days and they would refund my money within 48 hours of the product being returnedI . I told.her I wanted my $294 back like the ad said! I asked to speak to her supervisor but she said she wasn’t there. Then she told me to return all the bottles and they would refund me but not for the bottle I used. I said that that was unfair because the advertisement said I would get all my money back. I would truly appreciate it if you could notify them and try to get my total of $294 back as soon as possible. I am mailing the bottles tomorrow. These bottles are a scam. They say they are the recipe for the pink salt and whatever else you’re supposed to take to lose weight!

Online Purchase - Urban Outfitters Impostor

Originally the link to the website was on Pinterest, advertised as urban outfitters clearance store/sale. The website looked like a discounted clothing store. The ordering process seemed normal. They did not take American Express which is my typical cc I use, so I tried my bank debit card and that went through. They used track678, which I realize now is a scam from your website. I followed the tracking and when it said it had been delivered but no product received, I reached out to them again. They responded quickly and apologized and asked to send it again. I hesitantly agreed and then the same process repeated. After, two weeks the tracking system said it had been delivered but it hadn’t.

Other - Document Delivery Phone Scam

Someone called numerous times over a few days from 774-260-2827. The woman left a message the first day saying it's an urgent matter and to call 866-448-3953 with a reference number she provided. The next day the same number called 2x and I answered on the second call because it looked local. The woman said she is calling about an urgent matter and the client was trying to deliver documents to my home or place of employment on file. I need to call 866-448-3953 with a reference number she provided to verify my identity for these documents regarding a complaint against me. I asked her what client and what documents and she said she didn't know, I need to call the number provided. So I said, I am not the person you're looking for but "How does that make any sense? Why would I or anyone else call a random number to verify their identity for a complaint they know nothing about?" She hung up on me after that.

Phishing - Aetna / impostor

Not sure if this is a scam. But received a call from phone number 833-784-1940 with an automated message informing me about an important health reminder including my first name, last name, and a 7 digit code prompting me to call the number back with the 7 digit code. I called back and the system wanted me to verify my birthday and the zip code where I live. I hung up. Everything online with this phone number says phishing/scam.

Identity Theft - L Construction

A business in Everett WA, L Construction has my personal phone number that was assigned to me by T-Mobile listed on Yelp and google: ************. I have attempted to have this number removed as I am constantly called by bots and spam. I must have hundreds of incoming phone numbers blocked. Yelp and Google have done nothing to remove my phone number from business websites even after answering some of these "business optimization" phone calls where I inform them that they have an incorrect phone number listed. I do not want to change my phone number again. L Construction likely listed a random number to avoid phone calls, and I as a result am the one being harassed. I demand Yelp, Google, and L Construction remove my personal phone number from the internet so I stop receiving constant phone calls.

Phishing - Property Allocated Waiver

I don?t know what they are trying to do, but I suspect it may be a fake attempt to purchase title to my property for $195. If I were to cash this check, for example, perhaps that is supposed to be accepted as a sale or something, or perhaps this scammer is looking to get my bank account info on the cancelled check? I don?t know. There is no return address, only a phone number on the envelope and it has my name and address on it with directions to call within 7 days. The language is somewhat threatening to get the victim (intended to be me) to quickly respond to prevent something happening to their house or their loan.

Online Purchase - Subscription Scam

The website offered a .99 cent offer on a report. No indication or literature stating that I would be charged a lot more and now I'm probably in a recurring charge now. There was nothing provided or available to show what I was going to be charged, except the .99 cents.
