Debt Collections - Atlantic Recovery Solutions, LLC

I received a call from a person purportedly from Atlantic Recovery Solutions who identified herself as NAME. She called me on Nov. 12, 2025 looking for my son. She said that they had not been able to reach him. She was interested in contacting my son so that she could resolve a debt that she said he had concerning a "Best Buy VISA card issued by Citibank" to him in 2021. She said that the amount owed was $1,353, but that they would settle it for $1,015, otherwise the unsatisfied debt would be placed on his credit report. I told her that he was traveling, I would try to reach him, but I knew him to be someone who paid his bills. She called me back again on Nov. 13, 2025 and asked me if I was going to settle his debt, and that the option to settle it for the reduced amount would only be available until Nov. 14th, or it would go on his credit report, that he had what appeared to be good credit and that this would ruin it. I think they were trying to extort the money from me under false pretenses, as my son insists he has never opened a BestBuy account nor has he been contacted by this company. This sounds very much like a scam to me.

Advance Fee Loan

I am getting multiple repeated phone calls saying “my business is approved for a loan”. I have not personally or applied for a loan. These messages and calls are coming to my cell phone. Here is the most current message left on my voicemail. “ Hello, um. Good morning. This is Josh with the business loan processing. I've been trying to reach you last week and I see your loan file is almost approved for up to $168,000. With both an 84 month term at about $2630 a month or a 72 month option, if you prefer. If you've changed your mind, that's fine. Your request can be withdrawn and you're welcome to reapply later. But if you still need funding for your business, we just need to confirm a couple of quick items and then we can send the docs right over. Press 2 now to connect with me or the underwriting or call back at 866-878-0620.

Employment - atsreadyresume

I was contacted by Laura Henry via email and LinkedIn stating she was conducting a retained search for a VP position in my field. Based on her brief description of the role it did seem like it would be a fit with my experience. I did a search on LinkedIn for her and a detailed, and well built out profile came up in which we had several shared contacts so I thought she was legitimate. I asked for more detail, she said it was a confidential search and she couldn't share additional information at this time. Which is plausible, for many retained searches. I sent my resume as requested and received this reply: "Your experience is aligned with the role, but your resume is not ATS-friendly. Kindly adapt your resume to be ATS-friendly as I need it asap. For creating an ATS friendly resume, please visit https://atsreadyresumes.com/ and send me your ats resume once the recommended website has completed it. For now, precise details about the role and our client are under wraps due to confidentiality protocols. Once we align our schedules, I’ll shed more light on this. I’ll review my calendar and circle back with potential timelines for our continued discussion. Regards, Laura Henry" I didn't really read the full email just that I needed to update my resume to be more ATS friendly - which should have been my first clue - because if she is the executive recruiter why would my resume need to go through an ATS? I did update my resume then clicked the link as I thought it was just going to show me an example - but it was a resume generator which required a $17.00 fee for an editable resume. Thankfully I didn't pay for the service but I am alarmed by the sophistication of this scam and concerned that there a many many people who may have paid since the fee seems so minimal and there are so many people looking for positions. Looking for a job is a full-time job made even more difficult by scams like this. This is an alarming trend and truly the big tech companies - like Microsoft who owns LinkedIn should do more to protect its paying users. They charge an excessive amount to companies ($20K - $200K annually) and individuals (sometimes thousands of dollars annually) to use their platforms and the scams are as prevalent as found on free social media sites like Facebook or Craigslist.

Online Purchase - Bestbestones

I ordered a shirt and M-65 Field Jacket from Bestbestones via an advertisement received on Facebook. I received a confirmation email on 10/25/2025 containing a customer service email address and tracking number. Several days later I attempted to track the items and to contact customer service using the addresses on the confirmation email only to be advised they were invalid. I then contacted my credit card company and advised I wanted to cancel the order and that my attempts to contact the vendor were not successful. They credited my account. Several days later the items ordered were received. They did not fit and the M-65 Field Jacket was more like a shirt than a jacket. I went to the Bestbestones webpage and reviewed their return policy and used the customer service address as shown on the webpage and requested information on the return address. CSR responded promptly and advised they would not provide a return address until I photographed the items, the packaging received, and the size labels on each item. This requirement was not set forth in their published return policy. I refused to provide photos because I considered this a breach of contract and outside their printed return policy, but I did confirm that their photos in their order confirmation email was accurate and reflected the condition the items were in and that I would be willing to return the items at my cost once I received a return address for the return. I advised them that after 5 days if they failed to provide a return address I would destroy the items received. As of this date and time I still have not received a return address. I have attached a copy of their return policy which they elected to amend after the contract was made.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Online Vacation Rental Booking Scam

The website https://staycret.com/ offers luxury villas for rent at a fraction of their actual cost. I found this site because someone was trying to book my villa on StayCret, but the price seemed too good to be true. So, she looked for the name of my villa online ***************, contacted me, and that's how I discovered this fraudulent site. When searching for "Punta Mita" in StayCret, I could locate other villas I know very well (managed by colleagues of mine), all offered at prices that are a fraction of their real price. I'm sure it is the same with the rest of the destinations they offer. The phone number and "physical address" listed on their website are from the UK; however, when I searched for the company's name on Google Maps, it appeared to be located in a Rite Aid pharmacy in Kingston, NY, USA.

Online Purchase - Facebook Purchase Scam

Through a search of Facebook found someone selling truck parts. When asked the pricing for the item they said that it would be $400 including delivery. The price was agreed upon and an e-transfer was sent with the original agreed upon price. The vender sent tracking information from Move Mail Express Logistics. A couple days later the shipping company indicated that the package was on hold until a $450 insurance deposit was required to release the item. This insurance payment was said to be refunded when the item was delivered, so it was paid. The shipping company then indicated that a $750 city permit fee was required before they could process the shipment. It was then the both the original vender from Peter’s Salvage Yard and the shipping company became very demanding that the payment be made for the city permit fee. The part was being held at the Idaho Falls regional airport according to the tracking information. Was told that if I wanted the item or my insurance deposit back the only way was to pay the additional fees so the item could be delivered. All transactions were done by e-transfers and no other options for payment where given that would work from where I was. When the payment for the additional fees was refused and concern was expressed about the shipping company the vendor tried to get the money sent directly to them and they would deal with the shipping company so that I would not have to. From there it escalated to derogatory comments and greater pressure to send the money saying that everything would be refunded as soon as the item was delivered but there were not means to ensure that would occur.

Phishing

I have been receiving an abundance of calls from "Impactors LLC" for several weeks from multiple locations including area codes 402, 405, 801, 252, 314, 540, 435. I have only heard a voice once or twice and both times it was an Indian/Middle Eastern accent. It's very disturbing to get these scam calls continuously.
