The young woman, who identified her name as Rain S., attempted to sell magazine subscriptions for a “fundraiser.” She was in her 20’s, heavier set, wearing a pink shirt with gold glitter on front. She was wearing a seatbelt as a belt. Long blond hair. Her “sales flyers” were very heavily worn like they had been used over and over again for the same purpose. My whole neighborhood thought she seemed suspect. We called the police to report her. She seemed extremely sketchy. Her story kept changing about what the money would be used for.

Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) owns the well-known CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA marks, in respect of, inter alia, various philanthropic, social welfare, housing, employment, healthcare, personal and economic development, disaster aid and relief, along with financial sponsorship-related services. CCUSA's well-known marks are registered and protected in various jurisdictions, including the United States. Registration Certificate for U.S. Trademark Registration No, 4181985 is attached for your reference. It has come to our attention that a Facebook user (the “Infringing User”) with the page, https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61575730494480, an entity with no connection to our client, is maintaining a page (the “Infringing Page”) which portrays our CCUSA's website domain name, https://www.catholiccharitiesusa.org, as its own. Additionally, the username of the account “Catholic Charity Foundation” is deceptively similar to CCUSA's U.S. Trademark Registration No. 4181985 for CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA. Further, the account lists an email address, catholiccharitiesusa.org, which is not associated with CCUSA and contains the CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA mark. Further, this Facebook account displays a number, email, and several of the posted pictures that were also featured on another Facebook Account which was previously taken down by Facebook for infringing on CCUSA's intellectual property rights. This Infringing User has been repeatedly creating separate Facebook accounts for the purpose of infringing on CCUSA's intellectual property rights in order to defraud victims. A complaint was previously submitted to the BBB regarding the previous Facebook account which displayed the same contact information. Through the prominent and unauthorized use of our client’s CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA registered trademark on the Infringing Page, the Infringing User is attempting to cause confusion among consumers that the Infringing Page is somehow affiliated with or authorized by CCUSA, when it is not. Furthermore, the content hosted therein is not authorized by CCUSA and is being used by the Infringing User to defraud or otherwise trick unsuspecting consumers into believing that the Infringing Page along with the hosted content is authorized by or affiliated with CCUSA. The Infringing User seeks to take advantage of Spanish-speaking users seeking immigration assistance by impersonating our client and subsequently soliciting personal information and money from unsuspecting Facebook users. The Infringing User is portraying themselves as a lawyer who works for various religious charity organizations. The Infringing User may be using the name Oscar Carrillo and the phone numbers: (914) 481-9981 and (575) 565-9883. We would like to put you on notice of such infringing and fraudulent activity.

It has come to my attention that the website { rosemarycasarottfoundation.com } is being operated by an individual or group posing as Rosemary Casarotti in an attempt to deceive and scam unsuspecting people. This website claims to be associated with a legitimate foundation, but there is no evidence to support the existence of such a foundation, nor any authentic connection to the real Rosemary Casarotti. The operator(s) of this fraudulent site are making false statements about their identity and their charity work, using elaborate lies to gain the trust of individuals and then exploit them, either by soliciting donations or by extracting personal information for nefarious purposes. The content on the website may appear professional and may reference genuine causes, but it is crucial to recognize that this is a calculated effort to mislead victims and take advantage of their goodwill. Under no circumstances should anyone attempt to contact the site via the provided information or respond to any outreach from those claiming association with rosemarycasarottfoundation.com. If you have been contacted by anyone using this foundation’s name, do not respond and never send money or share sensitive personal information. Always verify the authenticity of charitable organizations through recognized and reputable channels before engaging in any correspondence or transactions.

This website is impersonating the legitimate charity Palestine Children's Relief Fund. They're paying for ads on Google so that their website comes up higher and searches then the real charity's website, and the two websites look very similar. I knew it was a scam when I "donated" and saw that the seller information was coming from Brazil, whereas PCRF has a US address in California.

Tried to get me to pay for winnings

In the busy tourist area of Seattle on 1st Ave near Pike Place Public Market, I was approached by two African American men. One was probably in his early to mid thirties and tall. The other looked younger about 20 and was shorter. They were both nicely dressed and looked well groomed. They had a stack of CD's and claimed that the older taller man was part of an organization that teaches students to become musicians and how to break into the business. The younger shorter one claimed he was a student. They shoved two cd's in my hand and asked if I would be willing to donate $5 per cd. I don't mind donating for causes that help youth but I didn't have cash. They had portable credit card readers and asked me to make a donation with my card. I gave each of them a $5 donation for the two cd's. However, when I checked my statement, the older one had charged $700 to my card and the younger one had charged $2,205. The business names on the transactions were THREECARSOLUTIONS LLC, SEATTLE WA and UNLCE BUDDY'S LOGISITICS & SOLUTIONS LLC NEWCASTLE WA, respectively. I was able to find info on Washington's Secretary of State for Uncle Buddy's but nothing came up for Three Car Solution LLC.

Got a text message late at night on sept 7, 2025. Text originally came from what looks like an email, but the text claims it to be a "multimedia message". Source is listed as "[email protected]" and uses a png attachment (given below) along with actual textbox reading "Subject: LETTER<> jjT01 Charitable donation made by Joe and Jess 2025. you are to reply from your personal email to [email protected]" Weird that they are donating over a million pounds to an american, have fun hunting these morons :)

I donated $100 to what I thought was a Veterans charity. Come to find out, after seeing a story on them by the local news, that they are taking donations all over town and not helping Veterans or anyone but themselves. They make false promises in order to steal fron the public. People need to be warned.

A male claimed to be part of Colorado Fire Fighters. He was asking for donations beginning with Gold, Silver and Bronze levels. He offered to send more information by email or mail. I agreed to receive information by mail as well as donate $25 to their cause. I looked up the organization online and found that it's bogus. I have reported this to the Federal Trade Commission, Colorado Attorney General and here. I have blocked their phone number as well.

Hello I was scammed by a person pretending to be a war victim in Gaza.I became suspicious when this scammer called from a number in Uganda.I also reverse searched his pics and found that there were multiple accounts under fake names and stories.I had contacted chuffed.org and was in touch with customer service rep Sean and he promised to refund all my money.However they have only refunded $164 and they have not refunded the remaining $120.I have contacted them at multiple platforms.But no one is responding to my emails. Thanks

Pretended to be charity institution. Selling magazine subscriptions and donations would be made to inner city children.

They called me for like three months. They also sent me a letter in the mail. I looked it up and it says it’s not a real company, but I sent them money. I guess on Cash app and I spoke with an officer and they said that that website is not real, so I got on your website and it said that that phone number and that name doesn’t exist so I am reporting it. I don’t know what else to do if I do it on my cash app and try to get my money back and they find out that it is a legit business then I could get in trouble and get kicked off Cash App so I’m trying to do it this way cause I still don’t know if it’s real or not.

They send texts about non exsistant democratic party "policies", and get people to give them their info as if they were signing a petition. Only to probably sell it.

I received a group text message from the phone number +1 425-577-0340 that included 17 other numbers that this was sent to. This text included a picture informing that not only did I have my phone number selected to receive a $500,000 donation/giveaway, but I am assuming that the other phone numbers in this group text did as well. It instructed that I was to contact a Mr. Gregory Smith by text to the number +1 220-257-8153 with the claiming code WGF$5K to ensure that my giveaway would be claimed as soon as possible.

This Facebook page is pretending to be Catholic Charities USA, the legitimate charitable organization. It is preying on Spanish-speaking individuals who are seeking assistance with immigration services. This Facebook page and the user(s) associated with it are NOT affiliated with Catholic Charities USA in any way and aim to pose as Catholic Charities USA to scam individuals into sending them money and personal information. Furthermore, the Facebook page makes use of U.S. Trademark Registration No. ******* for CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA to further suggest an affiliation with Catholic Charities USA, when in fact there is none. This Facebook page is also running advertisements on Facebook offering nonexistent legal services. The person or entity is portraying themselves as a lawyer and using the names Oscar Carrillo and John Salinas as well as the phone numbers: 575-565-9883 and 914-481-9981. Attached is a printout of the infringing Facebook page.

Keep getting calls about a loan. Tried being put on the do not call list doesn’t work. Got in touch with an operator asked to be placed on the do not call list they hung up. Called the number back asked to be placed on the do not call list and they hung up again before I could even complete my sentence.

I received a group text message with multiple other unknown numbers to me on my cell phone. It stated the following and I will upload a screenshot: “Congratulations! I'm GARY KRIGBAUM the Powerball's First Millionaire of 2024 From North Carolina, I'm donating the sum of $500.000 dollars to 15 random individuals.

Emailed me regarding some type of assistance that is non government funded website. The email states I have unclaimed assets and wanted me to click something in the email to confirm assets and proceed to claim them.

Received a text claiming that I had won $500,000 and to contact Mr. Gregory Smith

While vacationing in downtown Seattle, I encountered some street people soliciting for a local charity (they said). I authorized a $10.00 donation and gave them a credit card. They said they would email a receipt, so they got my email address as well. They then charged $3468.75 to my card. No receipt ever came, either. The credit card bill showed no contact info for "Positive Impact Program" other than Tukwila, WA 98168 (a small town just south of Seattle). I can find no record of a program by this name anywhere. I have also contacted the Seattle Southside Chamber of Commerce and the Tukwila Police Department. No one has ever heard of them. According to the credit card company, there was a digital receipt for the transaction processed by squareup.com (an e-services processer), but squareup.com refuses to release it to me, so I have no idea if it would show anything useful.

Told they will help me some money to pay my debts off and then take the money back

I been contacted by person who has photos of winning a lottery jackpot. Name of Julie Leach. Says giving away money to needy, old, misfortunate. She wanted my story history. Soon contacted me again wanting little more info. Today she said I was selected for 50,000. I need to provide info such home address, phone, Gmail other. I didn’t. I googled her name again, here came up on BBB. Thank you.

Said it was Julie Leach Giveaway. Said you will need to activate for your documentation and stamped clearance fees which is $50, so they can bring your money which will be delivered to you 4 hours after you make the payment. She said she was a Christian and even used Bible verses. They almost got me but I did not send any money that they wanted sent by an Apple gift card/

This person is using stolen content and photos of merchandise through social media(tiktok, instagram). They are claiming to sell handmade necklaces, but SPURWEST is the owner of the necklace/design. I have filed a claim with my bank as well, but hoping others don't fall for this scammer. Tiktok/Instagram page goes by silversagehorsehome

I was walking to pick up my kids from daycare around 3:30pm Thursday, August 21, and was approached by three men soliciting donations for a funeral for one of the men’s brother, whom they said was recently shot. I agreed to donate $** and they said they can only process the donation via card, so I gave them my credit card. Then they said they needed to use my phone to process the transaction, which in hindsight should have been an obvious red flag, but I let them use my phone. They said my credit card wasn’t working, so I gave them my debit card. Afterward I checked my bank account and noticed that rather than charging the $** donation I agreed to, they charged 5 charges of $2,400 each to my debit card (totaling $12,000) and 3 charges of $5000 each to my credit card (totaling $15,000). The total amount of stolen money is $27,000. Two charges bounced but the rest stuck so I am out $******. Bank of America is "investigating." All charges went to “PP*KIARA BOUTIQUE CHICAGO IL,” according to my bank transaction history.

They want To Add YOUR HOME to their list for Pick Up of Donations!! They will Keep bugging You!!

Someone called me from a 636-200-2554 leaves a message telling me that I have the option to contact an office regarding a claim I have on file for a court date. I call the number back and she tells me I have a claim for court and leaves a 855- 493-4721 number. I call it and the lady answers is telling me they a claim With a company called location services. She is VERY delayed in speaking and tries to get me to verify my dob and last 4 of ssn

I was recommended this service to find my lost cat. The Facebook page only has a WhatsApp point of communication. I have all the screenshots of us setting up the entire service to bring drones to look for my pet- $200 service- then after payment they stopped responding. I have proof of the Zelle payment as well. My sister also reached out to them in order to see if they were busy or just ignoring me- they responded to her and requested money up front and then proceeded to block her as well when she referred to how they do not have any reviews on their page.

Person came to door. Very convincing. Working for organization to build skills and self-esteem. Org. sells subscription from which individual gets commission. Ordered magazine subscrption goes to non-profit of my choosing (Big Brothers Big Sisters) to help build literacy skills of clients.

Received phone call from people representing Police Officer Community Pac. The person had a thick accent and then after agreeing to pay something for this donation I was transferred to a recording of how much I wanted to give. I was also provided a phone number when I asked for a phone number. That number was 866 789 7672 for donation amount. The call originated from that was on my phone was 727 477 7589. This was in reference to Robert Nelson and the 527-tax code. However, I did not fall for the scam, just felt the need to report this.

I donated my boat to Boats for Veterans in April 2025. Initial contact was by phone but after that everything was by text message, A gentleman came and picked up the boat and I was promised a statement for my taxes. Once the boat was picked up, Boats for Veterans contacted mt via text and said they would email me the tax receipt. I never received it and they stopped answering my texts. The site is listed as an IRS 501 (c) 3 for tax purposes. I have filed a complaint with the Consumer Affairs Dept and will also put in a complaint with the IRS. Please be wary of this organization!

A group posing as the national nonprofit the Veterans Alliance has been all over the Reno, Sparks, Tahoe area collecting donations. This group with nearly an identical logo is NOT the Veterans Alliance in fact they are a group of scam artists. They claim they are building houses for Veterns however When pressed they can not produce any evidence of this. They have no property or plans or any Veterans they have helped. Even more concerning this group is led by Ronald Peak a 9 time convicted felon of financial crimes and Canyon Sparks also a convicted felon of drug traffeking. I donated money then saw the warning on the Reno News about this group being fake and felt compelled to look into them. It is so disgusting that they are stealing in the name of Veterans.

A woman called me on the phone and stated she was with the Idaho state police association, trying to get donations for memorials for fallen officers, financial assistance for families of officers killed, etc. with a pledge to make a contribution she would then send a mailer. She asked for my address and confirmed my name. They sent the mailer. The mailer looks legitimate except the return address is for a barber shop according to Google maps. Internet searches to confirm scam/not a scam are inconclusive. The googled phone number is associated with scams.

On August 17, 2025, my Bank of America debit card was charged $***** by scammers posing as members of a fake charity called the “James Hoover Foundation.” The individuals approached me in person claiming they had lost a family member to gun violence and were collecting funeral donations. Their story has since been identified as part of a known scam operating across Texas and Illinois, as documented in this news article: ?? https://abc13.com/post/southside-place-police-say-scammers-chicago-have-come-texas-stealing-money-fake-story-childs-death/16500479/ I did not enter a PIN or sign anything during the transaction. I was misled under false pretenses. I believed I was authorizing a $10 donation, and was shocked to find that $***** was taken from my account. This massive discrepancy was not explained or agreed to, and no PIN or signature was entered to confirm such a charge. After realizing the scam, I filed a police report the same day (Report #: JJ378527) and notified Bank of America immediately. Bank of America has not yet refunded the fraudulent charge. I have also filed formal complaints with the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau (CFPB) and the Illinois Attorney General, and am awaiting responses. This transaction was not authorized in the true legal sense, and it falls under protections for deceptive or fraudulent electronic fund transfers. I respectfully request a full refund of $*****, as this transaction was the result of criminal fraud and no legitimate product, service, or charitable donation occurred.

I was sent a text that only contained an image that sort of looked like a certificate with a lined border, although the whole image was off center. At the top of the image was a photo of the Oracle logo on the outside of a building, presumably an Oracle office building. Below that the text read (including all of their capitalization and grammatical errors): "HUGE Congratulations! You're a winner! Your Phone number came up in the One Million Dollars from the Oracle Corporation Foundation Annual Donations! This is a life-changing news! Enjoy every moment of this incredible win - because you deserved it! And Here's to your newfound wealth and all the amazing possibilities it brings!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If you get this message kindly text Mr. Charles Woodley (646) 407-5045 to get your prize.

They said they were Julie Leach winer of $310+ million on powerball and wanted to give me $70,000. I told her and her charity administrator that i would not prepay for any charity. Then yhey said the irs stopped the package because of $250 in custom fees. I said no then they wanted $100 on an Apple gift card. I told yhen to pay the custom fees and i would double that amount once i received the money. They did not agree with that request. I wish it was legitimate, but no.

An African American man was approaching my house as I was pulling up into my driveway. He was very friendly and started with some nice opening questions that sent me red flags (for example “What was your first job ever?” And explained he was in a program to work after prison and stated a few times he had a 3 yr old son.) I asked for the name of his company and he gave me a cheaply made packet that looked outdated and worn. I flipped through while he kept talking and when I didn’t see any credible info and I saw a price of $500 for some magazines that would be sent to children of boys and girls club I knew something was off. I politely declined and his demeanor changed immediately and said “you could at least make a donation.” I knew then that I had followed my instincts correctly. I watched him walk door to door and didn’t see anything else. This was very alarming about his behavior.

This person has sent numerous of texts stating” Hi, this is Faith, scheduling donation pickups for Nspire Outreach. I would love to add your home to the driver's route on Fri, 08/15. If you have any clothing/household items for pickup from my current address and zip..( how is that)Reply YES today to schedule a pickup. STOP to opt-out of future msgs.” This has been going on for over three months now I report as junk and still get them from different numbers. Sometimes three times a month. How is that when your in Georgia and I’m in Tennessee????

I was approached on the sidewalk by a young man wearing a yellow high-visibility vest & lanyard with a badge claiming that he was raising money for funeral expenses for a family member who had been shot and killed. He had a clipboard with a piece of paper for signatures that had the State of Illinois seal in the background. The bottom of the paper said that said he couldn't accept cash donations. The lanyard had the Save the Children logo on it. I said I could donate $5, at which point two other men came over to where we were standing (also in vests with badges and clipboards). I handed my credit card to one of the men, who took my credit card and attempted tap to pay on his phone. The first man also took my phone to 'make sure the transaction went through.' A third man chatted me up while the other two men waited for the transaction to go through. They said the transaction wasn't going through because of the signal and asked if I had another card. When this card also didn't work, they asked me for another, at which point I became suspicious and said I didn't have any more cards. I said 'sorry for your loss' and walked away. The interaction felt off to me, so I immediately checked my credit card accounts which both showed multiple charges for $2,496 each to a PayPal account under the name Talaya Benson. While on hold with my credit cards,

I found this article online which I believe details this exact scam. https://abc7chicago.com/post/chicago-crime-con-artists-claim-need-donations-kids-funerals-steal-thousands-tap-pay?ravenswood-lincoln-park/16273430/

Received a message from @jewishmoutreach on X (profile name was Jewish Matters Outreach). The message was as follows “ Sorry, Malachi chapter 3 verse 1 reads: "...the Lord whom you seek [that is the Mashiach ben David] shall SUDDENLY come to [the] Temple". This means that by the time the Moshiach Ben David shall appear, the third temple shall stand on the Temple Mount. Why is the temple not yet built on the Temple Mount? Because the Jews do not have a large base of religious fanatics globally who back their claim, like the Muslims do. How can we change this scenario? By finding an halachic way to turn Gentiles (most especially from the Global Christian Population) into Jews en masse! Here is the halachic way we have found: [Click here] We are working to set up a social media App, which we shall call "THE RAPTURE"  to engage the World  Christian Population for Project "Jewish 2.0" and Project "Third Temple Assembly".

Sent photo stating "phone number came up in the one million dollars from oracle foundation" and asked to contact to collect funds

They claimed i won $1 million and they asked for address, photo and occupation

The scammer pretended to be running a charity for state troopers.

On May 6th 2025, I was approached by 3 individuals in person who were identifying as a charity raising money for gun violence and funeral expenses for a child. I agreed to pay $5 to the cause. They asked for a credit card, and I gave them my Chase Sapphire. They said the card did not work, and then asked for another. I gave them my Discover card, where they said the transaction was successful. At this time, one of the three individuals had my phone in order to "send me my receipt". Without my knowledge or consent, the individual, pretending to respond as me, responded to a text from Discover, authorizing a charge for $*****. They texted back yes, and then deleted the text message chain so I could not see it after my phone was returned. I later found these text messages by contacting Apple customer care.The "volunteer" handed me back my phone with a copy of the $5 receipt. When my phone was returned to me, my Discover app was deleted. I quickly redownloaded and saw that 4 x $***** charges were charged, and 1 x $***** charge on my Chase Sapphire card. I quickly froze both accounts to prevent the charges going through, and headed directly to a local Chase branch within the hour. I let one of the employees know exactly what happened, and he was able to open a fraud case on my behalf. I then called Discover while in their office to begin the fraud review with them. I also filed a police report with the Chicago Police Department that night, and notified the three credit bureaus about the transactions. I was advised to shred both of the credit cards involved as the information was compromised, and was mailed new credit cards for use. I kept my accounts frozen until I was authorized by customer service that the new card activation was safe for me to "unfreeze" without the charges going through. However, once this occurred, the charges were on my Discover account, even with the dispute actively open. This did not seem to be the right course of action for the situation, as Chase had removed the charges that were under investigation, and due to the nature of the charges, the usage of my credit (near my max) caused my credit score to dramatically decrease. After about a month, I was notified by Discover that because I handed the merchant the card, it was not technically fraud because I approved "a transaction". However, it would potentially be considered a dispute since it is not the amount I agreed to. Chase eventually came to the same conclusion. Now, as the dispute has progressed, the copy of the receipt that I received via text for $5, which matches the times of the interaction, and the police report are not "sufficient evidence" for the companies.

They reached out to the merchant to investigate, and the merchant provided "proof of authorization", something that was done by one of the criminals involved. I did not consent to these repeated charges, and am not being given information by my providers for how to continue moving the case forward. Discover claimed that they could not use the police report as evidence because it did not fit the criteria for a dispute case. I tried to reach out to the merchant, PayPal Zettle, and I do not have an option to file a dispute directly with them, as they only allow their "merchants" to file disputes. They are saying the receipt I have is "illegitimate", which makes sense because I was never charged $5. However, it proves that that was the agreement that I was a part of, setting the terms for the in-person interaction. I am now looking for a fair resolution to the situation at hand. The 3 on 1 scenario put me in a dangerous situation, and had I realized what was going on sooner, there is the chance that I would have put myself in an even more dangerous, and potentially violent situation. These charges should not be charged to my account, and I should not be held responsible for the interest, or the penalties to my credit score.

They are trusting "merchants" that committed a financial crime, and are not helping a customer that was victimized in this situation. There should be better care and investigation practices in the ever evolving world of scams, and customer protections should be put in place when large, out of character charges are being put onto accounts. My credit history and spending habits have never shown these patterns, and I wish there were practices in place within the secure app (vs a text message) that could have protected me from this interaction. Part of the draw of getting a credit card is the safety compared to having cash or using your debit card, but in this scenario, my credit card has put me in a financial position I never could have gotten into had I only utilized a debit card. This system and the policies for this scenario have not been given the proper consideration, and impact me immensely.
