I’ve identified some crypto scams. Metacosmicex, Stradx, and yield nodes.com

This was a "Trial" for calorie control. after downloading it was not applicable to my needs, I immediately cancelled. Noticed that the charge was debited on my Mastercard issued by US Bank. They immediately gave me a provisional credit, but 15 days later re debited the amount back, when I contacted US Bank Fraud Dept was informed that I had not responded to their 5 page inquiry ( which I had only received via USPS mail three days before. Upon investigating the identify of this company Uab Medical Score Panevezys Ltu, discovered it is based in Lithuania - I did inform US Bank of this information, the person I spoke to informed me I would have to file another objection. Since when does a USA bank back out of the country scams

XXX this is John Cooper calling on behalf of the Colorado state processing unit. Calling to notify you of the summons they received from the attorney's office of Morris and Jacobs made request to file a motion through Douglas County for wage Garnishment. ETC. This was a false attempt to try and claim I have a debt to a company which I don't. They claim they can settle if I pay over the phone. I have received this type of call on a yearly basis from various scams. All with different debt claims.

I ordered a racoon from this website "Racoon Haven". They charged me $300 for the racoon, then they “shipped” it out. Half way through the flight, they said they needed an additional $400 because the racoon needed a thermal controlled crate or something, and that I would get a full refund once my racoon got to me. I paid them $200 and the lady shipping it to me was suppose to pay the other $200. I spent $500 total.

They will send a link offering a percentage off items and following that link tracking information that your products are enroute, which you never receive. They then have embedded in the tracking info other gimmicks if you are not careful that will link your info to a shopify account that led to an entirely different web of scams or who else they've sold your info too! https://nam12.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Fshopify.com%2F75458511157%2Faccount%2Forders%2F8ebd86c1689614709399af2a02103657%3Flocale%3Den-US&data=05%7C02%7CReddell.Inetta%40mayo.edu%7Cfbc625dfedc24c2e6ebe08ddf149cf7c%7Ca25fff9c3f634fb29a8ad9bdd0321f9a%7C0%7C0%7C638932021492657953%7CUnknown%7CTWFpbGZsb3d8eyJFbXB0eU1hcGkiOnRydWUsIlYiOiIwLjAuMDAwMCIsIlAiOiJXaW4zMiIsIkFOIjoiTWFpbCIsIldUIjoyfQ%3D%3D%7C0%7C%7C%7C&sdata=AHV6kfWBoV%2FtvpSbTuG24Wo2%2Fvt%2Ba4L1XT53miHm2Ic%3D&reserved=0

I received a text message stating that I had a core for withdrawing money from Coinbase. It said that if you didn’t request this code to call. I shouldn’t have called, but I didn’t give them any information that they could possibly use to get anything from me. I even confirmed with Coinbase directly. The person had an attitude like he wasn’t getting the information he wanted. I told him that I did not want to give him any information because I know there are scams out there. Don’t think he liked that. I’m not sure I was even the intended target.

I filled out the form to request more information about the cats they were selling and if I could visit the kittens before purchasing one. The email response was immediate- and the tone was angry / aggressive. See below. No greeting, no closing - just this rude message. Never buy from this company! VISITATION- We do not do Visits. WHY? It's simple. This is our private home where we raise our kids and cats. We do not hand out our address to strangers to make you feel better. You might be risking 2 to 3 grand BUT from a purely financial point of view we have 60,000 to 100,000 invested in our Cattery MIN…That risk doesn’t compare in any way. From a safety issue- Many of us started by allowing in person visits and it backfired. People have no boundaries. We had many show up unannounced at all hours WITH their friends and neighbors to see the cats. We are not a petting zoo. I've had people go through my drawers, my bathroom cabinets and even walk into my teen daughters' room while she was changing. I've had people allow their children to mishandle my cats and it took weeks to reverse it. A Breeder was robbed and murdered a year or so ago. We do not ask to come into your home to make sure you are legit- We keep our Catteries clean and sanitary for safety for the cats. Constant foot traffic leads us to the Health aspect…It’s a massive risk to allow people inside your cattery. They can bring in fleas, parasites and illness that can wipe out a Cattery. Catteries have kittens of all ages and some are not yet fully vaccinated. Some catteries are ok with taking this risk, some are not. Like I said it’s a personal preference and never a red flag either way. You choose your kitten , pay for the kitten and come fetch him or her.

I am in the middle of a job hunt, and received an email from a person named "Towndrow Hunter" ([email protected]) saying I would be a great fit for a remote role at Aeronasis S.A. (which exists, it's a Greek company). There were several openings: Administrative Assistant, Customer Service Rep, Business Development Manager, Accounting Clerk, Strategy Consultant, Data/Business Analyst. I told them I was interested in the Strategy Consultant role, which after a 2-week training period paying $20/hr would transfer into a full-time position making $60/hr. We scheduled a Microsoft Teams interview, which I thought was going to be a call. It was actually a text chat with a "John Gate" ([email protected] -- a different domain than the real company) which seemed very automated. I was asked standard interview questions and wasn't given a chance to ask them anything about their company. At that point, I sent an email to the company's home office in Greece in both English and Greek asking if this person was affiliated with the company. I never heard back. I was told I got the job about half an hour later, and sent paperwork to fill out. The paperwork seemed quite legitimate and included a contract, personal information form, and bank direct deposit form. I was told I needed to fill it out by end of day the next day. I was also told that training would start the next day at 8:00 AM. Training that day was delivered by email and consisted of: "Write short notes on the following 1. Conducting Market Analysis: Identifying Trends and Opportunities 2. Competitor Analysis: Understanding the Competitive Landscape Have it completed and attached to me via WORD. Time: 2 hours Minimum of 2 and half pages" I wrote a market analysis of the company and its competitive landscape and sent it over. After that, I finally confronted "John" and said that I was concerned about the opportunity. I pointed out that I had not talked to a human the entire time, didn't have concrete proof that this person worked for the company, and was aware that scams of this nature are quite prevalent. I have not received any communication since. Thankfully, I didn't hand over any personal information except for my first and last name, and home address.

airport transport of a pet i was trying to buy and although i sent the money order as instructed to the alleged seller of the pup the company said they could not ship the pup until payment was confirmed dispite sending copies of receipt etc. when i call number no one like a real company answers the phone and when they did call back, it was like a personal call not a logistics company.

I purchased a dog from the website, but the puppy was never delivered. After I completed the payment of $1,500, the seller stopped all communication with me. I have not received the puppy or a refund.

Got a random text from a guy asking me if I was interested in a job that sounded reasonable at first, but then you realize that he’s texting from a random number, not providing me with details right away, not confronting me when I aggressively made a personal comment about him. So it’s an obvious scam, but the reason I’m reporting this on here is because this particular person was incredibly well spoken and his message was very well written. So this person is either fluent in English or hired by someone overseas or is doing their own type of gaming in the United States. But this one showed me that they are getting better and better each week at the scams and people need to be aware.

There is a Facebook page called Cats adoption foundation. These people who were falsely representing them, I think, scammed us for over $500. They were very pressuring and when only accept money from Zelle or an institution that had no recourse they won’t take a credit card and then they tell you the cat is ready to ship but the airline needs a $600.99 crate . They get their money, but you don’t get a kitten. The couples name on the the adoption papers, which look appropriate, are Michael and TORRE Barnes. Their number is 917-765-9885

Email said I was invited for an job interview I had applied for via a teams link with Teresa Burrows whose email address is [email protected]. I did the teams interview but did not provide any personal information because with this interview the cameras where off and so were the microphones. Everything was via text. (My 1st red flag). Then interview questions were very vague. (2nd red flag based on my skillset) and then wanted me to stay online while she submitted my responses on up to the head of department (3rd red flag). Finally came back and offered me the position. Started going over the benefits and gave an approximate time frame of when would be eligible for company benefits (4th red flag, these are a set period) and offer letter was generic (5th red flag) and then came the urgency for me to file out the I-9 form, W-4 forms, etc. all of which were google documents and then when I asked about my start date was told my supervisor would be in touch with me on that but offer letter stated "immediate." I looked up Sapio Sciences LLC who is in good standing with Secretary of State, and tried to call them directly to verify Teresa Burrows who did my interview and offer my the position but no matter what department you try to contact you have to leave a voice message and they will call you back. I never received a call. And the only information they got from me was an address, email address and my name, which they already had--- as it is public information. Something just did not feel right so I did some more research and found this site where the email addresses were the same so I'm hoping this helps others from failing victim to these types of scams.

I was approached on What's App and fell for the scam. I started trading crpto successfully through AI Asst and the Qovex Exchange. At a point, my purchases continued to increase in size. After making a large purchase, when I tried to withdraw the funds, they wanted a lot more money. At that point, I cut off contact and have reported to FBI IC3 and others in the chain. Qovex and AI Asst are scams and should be avoided.

I asked for information for an online job ad to process orders for Target. I was then told to download the WhatsApp so I could get more information and my training for the job. I was confused by some details so I looked up scams on the BBB website and found there had already been reports on the Target job scam.

I recently got an LLC and today I received this in the mail. They requested $98.50 for a Certificate of Existence. It seemed sketchy, so I decided to research the name of the company, the phone number and the address. BBB came up first. The number was linked to several other scams doing the same thing in other states.

I contacted veyen Rosie vera on Facebook for a min dash hound and she said she was in Chicago IL and that it would be 50 for holding the puppy. Then a shipping place emailed me that the puppy was on way then they had me pay *** for puppy insurance then *** for crate fee then they charged a *** mandatory vet fee. 

The website advertised stuffed animals that were interactive and responded to body motions. Animal would hug and rub it's paw. The received animal does nothing. it's a regular small stuffed animal. I looked at a Polar Bear and on the website the bear is VERY animated. They say it's great for moods and gives secure feelings. I just lost a family member and I thought that having the animated fur pet might help soothe a child. However, the animal is cute, but it's nothing like what is advertised and they charge you as if it was electronic and animated. Feel VERY cheated. They misrepresented their product and focused on those who might be grieving. That's awful.

On August 25, 2025, I paid a security deposit, pet fee, and first month’s rent for a rental property in the amount of $***** via wire transfer. The individual who claimed to be the landlord, Isevaz Azimbal, instructed me over the phone to go to the property located at 2208 Broadway Ln., Schaumburg, IL 60194 on August 30, 2025, at 12:00 PM to receive the keys after making the payment. I informed this individual that I had movers scheduled for August 31, 2025, to move my belongings into the property. When I arrived at the property with my 7-year-old son at the agreed time, I found another family moving in. They informed me that they had recently purchased the home and were the rightful owners. At that point, I realized I had been scammed. I immediately attempted to contact the individual posing as the landlord. His phone number was disconnected, and he did not respond to my emails. I then contacted my bank to report the fraud, but I was informed that the wire transfer had already been completed and could not be reversed.

I was looking for a vintage locket and saw their listing. I tried to enter my payment info cause it seemed like it had other vintage products for sale, but my card supposedly "declined" and it didn't give me the option to do guest checkout so I had to use my email and create a password. I was already concerned before that, but after my payment declined I searched the contact email and found it tied to other identity scams. I requested a card replacement from my bank immediately, but am worried they will try to access my email or send me spam mail since I had to give them email and address.

This so called company was to transport a Dog for me and they took: 1. 599 crate fee. 2. $1199 insurance fee. 3. $699 vaccine fee. Now they are asking for another $1500 for a "customs" document on something that is not leaving the USA border. Said they were going to quarantine dog not and get me for abandonment. They are sending picture of the dog trying to make me feel bad. I want my money back!!!!

This basically the same thing that was from the previous complaint with Medito-group. I was contacted by Ashley from Adecco Recruitment asking about a job opportunity. I went ahead and said yes. Then, I was contacted by Eleanor who said she got my contact info from Crystal at hays Recruitment. Should have been a red flag there. But I kept going with it. I was resistant and reluctant at first. I even did some research on Medito. Even seeing the complaint that was filed against this company with the BBB. But the company seemed legit. And I figured this guy just didn't do something right like going into it as a top tier right at the start, and Eleanor was persistent. We even built up a good rapport. I won't go into to much explanation on what the company does because the prior complaint does that, but it seemed pretty good at the time. And I was in dire need of the extra income. Let's just start off by saying I am usually good at sniffing out scams. My first thought that this was indeed a scam. But again, I was I need of the income, dire need, and that clouded my judgement. Just like in the prior complaint I stated my first day with two sets of tasks. Each at 40/40. First set went good. I made about $12 in commission. I was able to immediately transfer that to my Bitcoin, which I should have recognized that red flag right away. I started my second set of tasks and encountered what they call a combo task which sent my work account into the negative, and as long as my work account was in the negative, I couldn't complete the task. They say these tasks and who gets them are generated by the system and no human has control.over them. So I had to transfer about $30 from my bank account to my Bitcoin account, then transfer that to an always and ever changing Bitcoin account. Once I was able to bring my work account out of the negative, I was able to complete the task. I made about $75 that day. Making back the money I had put into the company. The next day, two sets of tasks. The first set in encountered no problems. On the second set, I again encounter a combo task that again sends my work account into the negative. I again had to transfer funds from my bank account into the Bitcoin to again transfer to the company to cover the negative. And the same thing keeps happening, I believe it is okay, because I am making whatever I am putting into it back from the commission. But, also I seem to be giving the company the same amount of money I was making off the commission the day before. Let's get to Friday, Sept 5th 2025. My Bitcoin is sitting at about $440. Not bad considering I have only put about $200 this far of my own money. So I have made about $240 in profit. On my first set, I encounter a combo task sending my work account in the negative by about $376. It's okay, I have enough to cover it in Bitcoin and I make a commission of about $750 on the first set. When I complete the first set I am paid $800 in my base pay. Keep in mind this. The higher the work account, the higher the commission. And was told in the beginning, or was led to believe, I could only withdraw funds from my work account once a day and then could only be at the end of work for the day. So, once I get paid the $800 my work account is now sitting at about $1500. I am getting the higher prices orders and my commission is getting higher. Then it happens. I'm at 38/40 tasks complete I get a combo order sending my work account in the negative by $1887. I don't have that amount neither in Bitcoin or my bank account. I notify both CS and my supervisor, Eleanor. Their solution? Get a loan for the negative amount. And when I finished this set of tasks, I can withdraw and the immediately pay off the loan. I don't have good credit. I don't think I can accomplish that. It, CS says I stand to make no less than 5k after the completion of the tasks. so, I apply for a loan and get approved for $1800. But because it's Friday, I won't get the funds until Monday the 8th of Sept. Now since I didn't complete the daily task, I have to apply for a work extension. Which I have to give the company $200 out of my bank account. This now brings the total I have given the company about $500 before "topping up" so, ow Monday comes. I have the funds. I send about $1700 to the company to top up. It brings me out of the negative. I am now one click away from completing my task and able to withdraw my funds of about 5k. I'm getting excited. I then get hit with another combo order. Another combo order in the same set. Something I was told that the chances of that happening was extremely, extremely low. Not only that, virtually back to back. So this combo order sends my work account into the negative by about 5k. And in order to bring that out of the negative, I have to give this company and additional $5k. Heh-heh. Heh-heh. Are you kidding me?!?! I can't believe it. I saw all the signs. My gut was telling me not to do this. And I didn't listen I was making what I put in back with the commission at the end of the day. That's how they pulled me in. Now I am out the initial $500 dollars I put in and an $1800 loan that I know have to pay back on a limited fixed income. I am wondering if the real company Medito knows what's happening here. Because this is BS. A warning to others who are researching this company for a job prospect, do not fall for it. I thought I did my due diligence and I fell right into the trap. These people need to be stopped before anyone else falls pray. Red flags: -They pay you through Bitcoin. -You have to give or pay them through Bitcoin and the address is always changing. -Customer service numbers are constantly changing Other numbers used in Whatsapp: 207-450-4827 Eleanor 214-714-5608 CS 207-518-1342 CS 207-482-9139 CS Initial contact through texting: Ashley 360-660-7276 I am so embarrassed. But that's how scammers and cons get away with it. They think no one will report because of how embarrassing it is. But I am not letting them get away with it To the BBB. I have plenty of screenshots of my conversations with Eleanor my so called supervisor and customer service. Please let me know if you need them

Reached out to them for a puppy. Paid my deposit & after the deposit was paid they severed all contact & refuse to respond to any emails or text messages. Prior to sending deposit they were very responsive but after they got the money it was like trying to get answers out of a rock. Unprofessional. DO NOT DO BUSINESS WITH THESE PEOPLE. Just crooks, they’ll take your money & leave you high & dry. Keela ****** has an Instagram page that she’ll update frequently but will not respond to anyone they scammed. 

I mistakenly published with this company instead of directly with Amazon KDP. My fault. But in June, 2025, they sent me an email listing the six states and twelve bookstores where they would place my books. I agreed to pay $3763 once I received an email with the breakdown of the pricing, and I used my Chase Freedom credit card. On July 30 they sent three photos claiming they were three of the bookstores and had my books, but that was a lie. They wouldn't tell me seven of the bookstores, but the four I reached by phone all said they'd never heard of these people or my book. I have documentation for all of this fraud, and Chase was able to get my money back. I'm making this report in the hope that you can help stop them from defrauding others. I know I missed "red flags," but that doesn't excuse their falsehoods and scams.

Rehoming puppy on facebook and Cheryl Scotting contacted me. Would only communicate thru messenger or text. Sent fee to Cheryl via Apple Pay and gift card--only way to make payment. Cheryl sent message saying puppy at Blue Freight Logistics, Ltd. Contacted by "Dary" from Blue Freight. Immediately said need $900 for a/c kennel rental for puppy and I would be reimbursed once the puppy was delivered. Also only accepted gift cards or Apple Pay. Then said puppy needed to be insured $2200--also to be reimbursed. Paid with gift cards. Then city permits -- $1,500 - paid. Then customs fee--$1000. Paid all of these last minute fees one at a time--always one more after one was paid. Puppy on his way will be in delivered tonight. Then a text message saying puppy swallowed small ball and now has an obstruction and needs emergency surgery and I needed to send $7500. I insisted to speak with the vet. Kept refusing until finally a "Dr Ken" with no practice who only works for Blue Freight did call from 1-659-213-6031. Dary was also on the call saying that I already told her we would not fly the puppy without the $7500 surgery. I should of know this was a scam for their unprofessional, gaslighting. Some comments from them to me when questioned was I was just an old selfish woman and I was liar and lying when I said I spoke with a local vet. Harassing phone calls demanding more money non-stop. Turns out Blue Freight Logistics, Ltd is known as a scam website.

I posted my cat on Better Together Alliance Home to Home pet rehoming site and received this response from "Omar C" ".Very lovely , I m Omar , i am very much interested , please hit me a t ext on 7655685933 ( seven, six, five five, six, eight five, nine, three, three.) ,waiting to hear back from you.Thank you..." "Omar C" had sent me an almost identical response about 2 months ago from 4404240851.

It's a fake pet contest for cats and dogs. They let you vote free once every 10 minutes and you can buy votes up to 40,000 votes at a time. 40,000 votes costs $249.90. 20,000 costs $129.90 and so on. We were in first place and 200,000 votes ahead of the person below us. And when we were moved to 2nd place , we started having a voting war with the person who took 1st and the person in 3rd place wasn't even close. 30 seconds to the end of the contest , we bought another 40,000 votes which would of put us in 1st but instead we were dropped to 3rd place where the prize went from 1700.00 to 500.00 and theres no way the person below us could have taken second because you can only buy 40,000 votes at one time and they wer 200,000 votes below us so theres no way they could have won. We spent $2100.00 but called and stopped payment on the charges. The people running this site are scamming people out of money. And only paying out the small prize amounts. DO NOT FALL FOR IT. They dont have a number to reach them and no information on the company. This is a scam

Placed my cat on Home to Home and received this response from "Kenneth J" "Hello. I'm Kenneth. I'm very much interested, Kindly send me a text on 2233391302 , waiting to hear back from you. Thanks." I looked up the number and saw that someone else had received a similar response after posting their pet on a rehoming web site. I did not respond to "Kenneth's" message.

I was really tight on money and during the summer, had multiple times where I was on the brink of having absolutely no money to live on and to go to work. I did and still do have a job at a retail store but most of my early paychecks would go off to pay my credit card debt early. Then on July 29th, I received a text message that said it was someone from Indeed about a job offer. This job offer was a remote online job where they helped increase engagement and visibility for YouTube content creators. They would pay you for helping increase engagement and visibility and the text included other details about this job like how it would only take 60-90 minutes a day, there was paid time off, free training where you could work from anywhere and you could earn $250-$500 per day with $1000 every 4 days. At the end of the message, it said to text this number if you’re interested and if you’re 25+ years old. However, I was 20 years old at this time but I decided to still text the number. Even though I had my doubts and deep down knew that this was a sketchy situation where it was likely a scam, I was desperate for more financial and money security. After I texted the number, someone named Gemma texted back and said they were from a company called Make Agency. They asked for my name and age for the registration and I explicitly told them that I was 20 years old and Gemma said okay but that the company allows anyone up to 24. Gemma had me do a task of watching and liking a YouTube video short and then I would get $16. However, in order to get the $16, they advised me to download Telegram so I could message the business manager and they provided me with presumably their username link. The second task from Gemma was to message this business manager with the code provided and then that business manager would set me up with $10 initially then I would get the remaining $6 through completing other tasks provided by the business manager. The business manager was named Seraphina Mitchell and from her telegram information, she was 31 years old. After I messaged Seraphina, she settled my salary with the finance department and told me that they paid in bitcoin and asked if I had cashapp. I had to download cashapp for the first time and had to share my bitcoin address in order to receive the $16 from her and then figure out how to process it to usd and link my bank and other financial items. She then introduced me further into the Make Agency company and explained how there was 20 tasks per day to complete and how newbies like me would get $1.5 per screenshot of the liked video and that number could increase if I became a formal employee. Eventually during the next day, July 30th, she shared the group chat where the 20 tasks would be posted at certain fixed times and had me join it. 17 out of the 20 tasks were just links to YouTube short videos that I had to view and like then screenshot and send to Seraphina. However, the other remaining three were called Lucky Mall Missions where you had to pay and send a certain amount and you would get the amount back plus a percentage commission on top of that amount and sometimes there were options of the amount of money you deposited. I would have to send that money to a bitcoin address that was provided and then create a work account on the Make Agency website where I would complete these lucky mall missions. The first one I did and completed was on August 3rd where I had to prepay and send $30 worth of bitcoin to the provided address and then I should get back $30 with a 30% commission that would total $45. Seraphina had me create a work account on Make Agency and then had me message my mentor named Natalie who would further help me with these lucky mall tasks, with a code Seraphina provided. Natalie instructed me to do something like pressing on the bitcoin/usd thing on the website and put in the amount I prepaid and a certain time in seconds and then buy up. The total funds would appear in my work account balance and after I completed the task, Natalie would give me a withdrawal code that I would send to Seraphina so that the funds could be withdrawn from my work account and sent to my cashapp. I completed the $30 lucky mall task and then after a few more tasks, I completed another lucky mall task where I could’ve chosen to deposit either $60 or $90 with a 30% commission on top of that amount. I chose the $90 option and after completing the task, got $117. It wasn’t until the next lucky mall task where things got really difficult and stressful. This lucky mall task had multiple earning plan options ranging from $150-$8000 with 30%, 40% and 60% commission types. Seraphina told me that completing a task like this would help make me a formal employee of the Make Agency company and raise the pay of $1.50 per YouTube screenshot to $5. I chose the first option for $150 with a 30% commission because that was the only option I could barely afford. I repeated the process with Natalie but what I didn’t know was that there was a second step of this task where before, it was just the amount of the option and then I would be done and completed the task. There wasn’t this second prepay step before and this one was more expensive that I couldn’t afford. The second step of this task had me choose from 3 options of additional prepayment ranging from $550-$1800 with 40% or 60% commission types. I chose the $550 with the 40% commission because it was the cheapest option. However, I told her that I couldn’t afford the prepay and asked if I could skip this step. She said that since this was already generated, I had to compete it in order to get the withdrawal code. I then asked if I could delay and postpone it until August 7th and then complete it because I knew that I was getting my paycheck that day. I then had to delay it to August 8th because that was my birthday and I was counting on the money from various family members but it still wasn’t enough. She was able to delay it but on August 8th, she said I had to do a partial deposit so I could keep the data from the order active in my work account. I had to deposit 30% of $550 which was $165 and I shared that I couldn’t complete it until August 21st when my next paycheck would come in. She was able to delay it but on August 12, I had to do another partial deposit of $108 to get an extension on the order. I asked Natalie what would happen if I just cancel or couldn’t complete the order. She told me that the funds would remain in my work account forever until I completed the task and got the withdrawal code from her. So I deposited another partial prepayment of $108 to get an extension until August 21st. Throughout this whole ordeal, I tried my best to get money so I could have enough and I returned various items to stores and got refunds back from those returns. Also, the money I got from doing the other 17 out of the 20 daily tasks no longer got sent to my cash app and instead went to my work account since I couldn’t complete this lucky mall task and couldn’t participate in other lucky mall tasks. So the money I received from doing the 17 YouTube short video tasks each day was accumulating in my work account. Come August 21st and my paycheck was $511.10 with roughly $17.01 left in my bank account so $528.11 was what I had. I really wanted this task to be done and over with so it wouldn’t continue hanging over my head like it had been over the last few weeks. So I called one of my coworkers and asked if I could borrow $30 and I promised I would pay them back. Before I called them, I even tried to apply for loans for a small amount but fortunately, I was denied. I was able to complete the task with help from my coworker and I thought that was it and I would finally be able to withdraw all the funds accumulated in my work account. However, Natalie then told me of a third and final step of this task where I could choose another prepayment option from options ranging from $1300-$4000 with a 60% commission. I had no money left in my bank account from the $550 task but u had to choose the cheapest option of $1300 and called back my coworker to see if he could lend me roughly $1300. He ultimately couldn’t and I was growing really desperate and stressed because I wanted this task to end. So I called multiple people ranging from old coworkers to old high school friends who I thought could possibly help me. It wasn’t until I called my sister and explained the situation to her that she urged me to not give anymore money and stress to this company and cease all contact with them. She told me that it was very likely that they would not let me withdraw the money in my account because it was such a huge amount and that scams will ask for small amounts of money first then big amounts and won’t let you withdraw them. I ultimately decided to follow her advice and stopped responding to anyone connected to Make Agency after they all said the same thing when I expressed that I couldn’t complete the lucky mall task. I then called my bank and cash app to see if I could dispute the transactions and with my bank, I was able to initially dispute all the transactions with my bank and get temporary credit for the amount of each transaction. However after sending in screenshots of all that I had like screenshots of the text messages and the make agency website and cashapp transfers. They decided that the dispute investigations were not in my favor and have started to reverse the temporary credit.

Exactly as the other report specified, a forced ad in a mobile gaming app repeatedly popped up (several times over a 2-3 week period late June-July, &occasionally seen the last 4 months) advertising 90% off merch from "Big Lots Stores Closing In Your Area" - which was mighty sneaky, since 2 stores recently closed without warning, just a few miles from my home. I ordered cleaning products & household goods, originally intending just to buy 1 or 2 needed items, but was schnookered into purchasing more by the claim of "Free Shipping on orders over $40" & then the BIG red flag I should have noticed: "50% Off Orders over $50," when prices were already heavily discounted (like, duh, Im a dummy, nobody gives stuff away lower than cost, even when closing). But since there was some truth to the bogus ad, I didn't worry overly much, since they did give the order an invoice # and tracking details... But, same as the poor sap who got post it notes, instead of 40 some odd $$ of large quantities of useful household cleaners(dish soap, liquid detergent, Downy beads, paper towels&TP, wet wipes, sponges, Lysol, nitrile gloves, etc) & other goods (padded floor mats, mini fridge, electric burner, a small air fryer, etc), I received ONE, yes, ONE Mesh Pet Fence Guard - a product I hadn't even seen on the site. I definitely did not receive even one item ordered, but with the low price tag paid for the huge list of items (the list above isn't everything, just what I remembered), &many with multiple/large quantities... Yep. I felt pretty dumb when that tiny package arrived. &To make it worse, there were a few similar websites running the same '90% off Sales' - many of which could only be found through those pop-up ads, so when I realized I'd been had & tried to enter my email &tracking number, all I got was the error "does not exist" - &could not recall the EXACT website URL (the only drawback to erasable ink pens... In high temps, your notes are gone), altho support@ms-dressly was the right contact email for the site; one time, I did make it to the right site, &the invoice # had my large order detailed & listed as "en route." And if they ever replied to my inquiry, while it could be buried in a few thousand spam emails & mislabeled folders, I never saw a reply, & certainly never got any money back... Sneaky scam!

Me, my wife, two of my adult daughters who live in other cities, all received a voicemail claiming to be from our county's 'Process Server Office' and stated they are calling because a summons notice was attempted regarding my wife, but the attempt was unsuccessful. We all received the call almost simultaneously once we compared notes. They called us from local spoofed number 210-998-6851. T-Mobile tagged the caller ID as "docservers24 TX". A simple Google search shows that this entity is a known scammer- we will be contacting T-Mobile about this, as well as the call should've been blocked by them. Our daughters received their calls from completely different numbers but not sure what those numbers were. In all the voicemails, there were two AI-generated voices; one started and then mid-message switched to another voice which we all knew was peculiar. The message stated that it was imperative that my wife call attorney Monica Miller at 877-770-0015. The message accurately noted our county, but we knew there was no such "Process Server Office" here, and we know that is not how plaintiff/defendant attorneys, nor how the courts work. We as a family are all vigilant and sharp about all the scams out there, so we did not answer or respond. This was a pretty sophisticated scam attempt and makes us sick knowing that a lot of vulnerable/uninformed people will become victims of a scam that would sound so alarming. This scam has been reported to you all in some other locations and out on the web, there are a large number of reports about this exact scam, as well. Thank you all for helping combat this! (We are also reporting this to the FTC and our state AG's office.)

My cat is missing and I received a call from a man stating he was at “Second Chance Pet Services” and had my cat. He said that my cat had been hit by a car, had a dislocated shoulder, and if we didn’t consent to surgery within an hour his lower body would be permanently paralyzed. We attempted to verify it was our cat by asking for a photo, but he “couldn’t send one because my cat had been hit by a car.” We asked several times where our cat was so we could go get him and were told Chapel Hill St. in Raleigh. When told that we could be there in about 30 minutes, the window to prevent paralysis narrowed from one hour to 12-15 minutes. In order to prevent this we need to Venmo him over $3000. As I type this, my wife is in the other room pretending to be unable to use Venmo just to drive him a bit nuts as thanks for trying to take advantage of people frantically trying to find their lost pets. [There is a real shelter called Second Chance Pet Adoptions (not “Services”) at the same location, so it seems like he did a rudimentary search to attempt legitimacy.]

DO NOT ORDER from this company! Ordered product(ultrasonic tooth cleaner)on the website after seeing it on IG. After two weeks received tracking info and saw that it shipped from China. After arriving in US, tracking was for GoFo. Also a SCAM. GoFO phoned me from CA to try and figure out delivery address. Tracking was showing that package was returned to GoFo twice for undeliverable address. Package was supposedly in Aurora, CO. Not close to delivery address. Contacted Rare Pet multiple times via email to CANCEL and REFUND my order [email protected] (yes, this is correct-no m on the end) got a reply from both that email address and [email protected]. They always gave me the run around and put it off on GoFo and told me to contact them. I contacted GoFo via email and phone and instructed to return package to sender. Rare Pet says they will not refund until they receive package, but I'm certain that it will not happen. I have reported this fraudulent company to my Credit Card company as well and it is currently being investigated. Rare Pet  [email protected] this is the correct email   [email protected]

Pretending to sell bengal kittens and then uses logistics company to extract more money saying they need extra money for “ insurance “ “ crates “ “vaccines”

For years I had gotten calls asking to speak with w/ “Charolette Lindsey” about some “legal matters”. I always told them that’s not me and if they asked if I knew them I’d say no. Then they’d usually go. Once I asked what is this even about and they hung up immediately. It didn’t stop until I changed my phone number. I’ve attached a screenshot of the last voicemail they left me and it’s transcription. I don’t know if they are still out scamming people today, but considering I know more about scams now as I’m going through all my old voicemails and I came across this, I figured I may as well report it just incase it could help somebody. They always called anonymously but sometimes left a phone number to call back (if they left a voicemail). Like in this case, where the number calling was anonymous but it said to call back 949-812-6264 and “refer to case number FL283165” in order to “report to the firm” or “field agents will be sent to [him/her] property address as well as any verifiable place of employment on record”. Also worth noting, the calls would sometimes be a robo call and sometimes a person. In the attached screenshot of that voicemail it was an actual person talking, a male with a typical American accent. I do think they targeted this person but never tried the scam on me because they didn’t have any information about me. Due to the persistent number of calls over such a long period of time, no name of an attorney or actual law office ever, I believe this was one of those fake lawsuits where they try and scare you into settling crap with them and paying them money so they don’t have to get the police involved “supposedly”, when really there was nothing to begin with, and they simply had the wrong information thinking this Charolette Lindsey person had my phone number. When I changed my number, I got no more calls. Whoever this person is though was definitely being harassed and I hope they’re ok. This was over a period of years, so if it was legitimate, they would of sent their “field agents” much before then.

I was promised a YETI cooler when I clicked on a Facebook post. I should have realized it was a scam. I entered a "sweepstakes" and was told to enter my debit card information for shipping. I did and was directed to Whisker Hollow Pet Market. I was charged $14.93 for "shipping". II called to enquire about it and learned that I was now a "member". I cancelled everything immediately! And was told that I was no longer part of their membership. This morning I saw that they had taken $76.67 from my bank account. I called again, I was told that my "membership" would be cancelled. I had already "cancelled" my "membership" on 9/2/25! I'm livid. This is fraud.

He advertise to sell exotic birds we sent them 680 through zelle diffrent people when the bird supposed arrived they wanted more mo ey to deliver it thats when we noticed it was a scam

Since a layoff in July, I applied for several jobs posted online as part of the Idaho Unemployment Insurance requirement of 5 applications or work activities per week. Two weeks after I applied for marketing jobs via LinkedIn, Indeed and reporting to Idaho Labor, I received 3-5 texts offering me part time, remote marketing jobs. One of them caught my eye because it was tailored to my experience, skills and strengths for online product marketing, pricing, promotions and customer reviews To receive my salary, I was asked to set up Crypto.com and Onchain wallet accounts. I asked several questions to ensure security and safety with the reason being an international company headquartered in Spain with global retail/CPG operations and customers. It was easier and faster to be paid for online marketing on a daily basis. About 10 days into the role and successful withdrawals of pay, I was randomly given a Fund Award for $366,370 to recognize consistent daily commitment (26 days in a row) and fast completion of tasks. It was the 2nd Award I had won - the first being $50. Other awards went up to $1.7 million based on your membership level and the merchant/retailer alliance. Keep in mind Yrixolon has created a very real work environment including 4 WhatsApp number - your Trainer, your Customer Service Rep, your Finance partner and a big US Working Group of 110 colleagues working on similar tasks. I used them all a lot. Over time, I realized they were all fake bots. I started calling their phone numbers and it's either dead or you get a canned voice mail but not at all personalized. They are all bots or an organization of scammers. Anyway, the $366,670 award was too much - and honesty too good to be true. So I declined it but they said I didn't have choice. The next day it was deposited in my work account and froze everything. It froze my $3000 of earnings and contributions. But worse it prevented me from working at all and early a few dollars a day UNLESS I put in 10% to unlock it all. I wanted my $3000 and mostly I wanted to work. I was accepting 3-4 part time online jobs Like a fool and 100 questions later, I withdrew a combination of savings, retirement, and college savings, thinking I could 10X my deposit and follow instructions to withdraw my earnings - daily income and awards - in batches. That was the last time I saw my $37,000. The fake company - Yrixolon - implanted a custom node on Onchain and siphoned out the money onto a blockchain. They assured us that it was only to deposit $10,000 but in fact they were taking $$$ that way too. Never were they upfront about the blockchain. Now they are extorting me for 30% rather than a 10% deposit because "I made an error in the verification process" and the $$$ is needed to repair and restore my account. First, I didn't make a mistake - their instructions were unclear and Second, they said the Custom Node was to send my earnings. What they did in fact was put my money on a virtual Customer Node and "freezing it"/ All so I can give them another $60,000 which I have not. How was I targeted? I believe because my personal information is out there and especially on LinkedIn and Alignable. I've read that recent fraud targets include laid off tech professionals, marketing and communications due to the rise in AI, and states like Idaho are growing in Cyber Fraud and Scams. If I've given cell phone number through online job ads, they can text to ask if I'm interested in a job opportunity, especially if based on a fake job posting. If you study the www.yrixolon.com website, you can see that it's a very slick site but the press articles are fake, like Google investing in them as a top 3 Spain start up. It's not until you've expressed interest in the job, received the salary proposal, and completed 4 hours of training that you even find out the work platform is www.yrixolon.xyz. And it takes longer to figure out the company behind it. But by then, they had reeled me in. They continue to pressure and threaten me. I have also reported this to the FBI, FTC cyber fraud, and the Idaho State Attorney General to investigate. Any ideas abut a forensic crypto expert to recover frozen and stolen funds

They sent me a message on indeed to "confirm my interest." The offer was ridiculously good so I immediately did that. It said on the ad to email ronnie anderson with my CV, email, name, and phone number. I obliged. This was all on August 28th. Then on Sept 4th, I got the offer for 3500/ month on ten hours a week plus 30 per package. They sent me paperwork to fill out, and before I did that I decided to search the company on Google. I couldn't find anything, but I did learn about parcel mule scams. Everything fit the description, so now I'm reporting.

Received a fax from DELTA SEO stating that we had received the SEO Package of Domain Optimization Essentials, which includes On-Page SEO, Local SEO Optimization, Backlink/Pinging. Gave an invoice number and an account ID. Looks like a pretty real invoice but we dont know that company and when googled, it shows they have attempted scams from this before. Had our incorrect address on it, showing a previous address that we havent been at in many years.

When purchasing from Smash it Sports, if you do not purchase their 3rd party "EXTEND" warranty protection coverage, they will not send your item or issue a refund or address your issue at all. They take your money upon purchase, and when you invariably do not get your item and they have pocketed your payment, they say it is your fault for not purchasing a $50 extended accident protection plan on the item. Anyone who doesn't purchase this plan, is out your money. They will not refund, they will not replace. All they say is that they could have helped had I purchased an extended warranty from some 3rd party company I have never heard of. To avoid any negativity and continue with their scams, they have deleted my review and blocked me from FB.

So tired of these scams. I already pay so much for business and now I can’t even keep track of what’s real and what isn’t anymore

was looking for a Yorkie puppy online and found two for a great price. Was told it would be $825 and $700. Spoke with the owner and put in touch with the delivery service to get the puppies sent and the man who answered the phone had a thick and strong accent and got suspicious. Called owner back to discuse what happened and have not be able to get in touch again. Paid through Zelle.

There is a guy on facebook that goes by the name TIKTOK EXTERMINATOR who is new york city based. I contacted him initially via tiktok after watching his page for some time. I reached out to have an extermination done at one of my homes. I was told I needed to send a deposit of $100 and the total cost for what I requested would be a total of $500. The day of extermination came and I didnt hear from him and so I reached out. He said he had some car issues and would need to reschedule. We rescheduled and he showed up with half the product to perform half the job. (My husband paid him in full without my knowledge) bad mistake because I wouldve never allowed that to happen. Christopher claimed that he would be back in a few days but never reached out, I again had to reach out to see when he would return and no reply for 4 hours. A reply cane in stating that he was injured the night before and couldn't make it however as a business who supposedly has a receptionist. No one reached out to me.lol he later agreed to a date to come and complete the job and the morning of he didnt show and I didnt hear nothing from him til several hours after the scheduled appointment. He claims to have an assistant in which this isnt true because upon further investigation the telephone number attached to this scammer is his personal phone. I went along with it in effort to get my funds back. People please be careful on social media because scams are at a all time high. DONOT DO BUSINESS WITH THIS GUY NO MATTER HOW GOOD THOSE VIDEOS MAY APPEAR.

I found this website while on a search to find purebred Siberian kittens as they are hypoallergenic. I came across Siberikittensiberians.com and everything about the breeders history and website seemed legit. I got in contact with the breeder and he gave me more information about the kittens and even offered me $400 off because I wanted to buy two. About a week later he asked for the final payment for the cats. He gave us an email for us to use in order to Zelle him the money. Ensuring the money was sent to the correct recipient, we told the man that we will send a single dollar before the final amount. He later emailed me saying that he got the dollar and for me to send the rest of the amount that was due. However, I hadn’t sent the $1 yet. His reasoning behind this mistake was sketchy but we get past this and continue to move on with the process. He waited about 2-3 days for the paperwork to process which we later figured out, he took 2-3 days to ensure we didn’t change our minds and pull the money back. Today we were told that the kittens have been driven to the airport and everything is good and ready to go. Kittens supposedly shipped to Boston from New York. I then receive a call. I was told that the kittens can’t make their connecting flight because they need health insurance. The shipping company charges us over $2k for the health insurance. We were annoyed but tried to send the money anyway. We attempted to send money through two different credit cards and both were denied. The shipping company then asked us to send money through several different unsecured websites. We ended up using Zelle. Couple hours go by and we receive another phone call. We are told that the kittens can’t make their flight because they damaged the crate that they were in and that this happened because they weren’t supplied one large enough; however the first airport had no issue with the size of the crate and they didn’t ask for health insurance. They asked us to send another $2k. We finally decided that we were not spending anymore money. We confronted the breeder about him scamming us and we have heard nothing back and have not received a refund that was promised in the contract. My father researched the breeders number and found him listed in many pet scamming websites under different names.

Our household is getting most of the USPS postal mail with Florida permit numbers on them, and it is evident that these scammers possess most of NJ residents data to initiate junk activities. Which agency can oversee and safeguard NJ residents or is it no longer consider safe to live in NJ as all unknown entities are reaching out to my household using different techniques. How long we have to keep reporting scams whether it had be calls, texts, social media platforms or postal mails?
