Credit Cards - Target Card Services IMPOSTER

I received a call from Target Card Services fraud department saying there had been 3 international charges in S. Africa, Egypt & London & they were calling to verify I had not made the charges. They transferred me to a “supervisor” who said he would help reverse the charges and issue a new card. He asked me to verify my zip code. They had my name, mailing address, and an old work email which seemed odd but I’ve had the card a long time. They asked if I used online card management services and wanted my username which I didn’t give. Then they asked for last 10 digits of my card # and I said I was not comfortable sharing. They said they could send a one-time code to verify identity. I received a very official looking email from [email protected] and read back the verification code. The email said to call 1-800-394-1829 if I had not requested the code. The caller said this proved it was a legit call & again asked for last 10 digits which I refused. At this point he became irritated & told me to Google the # on my caller idea to verify it was Target (I did this later and it is an official Target #) but I said I would be more comfortable hanging up & calling the number on my card. He tried very hard to discourage this saying I would just have to go over all the same information again but I hung up & called Target who verified there was no suspicious activity on my card & cancelled it. Within 1 minute after getting the scam passcode email, I got another email supposedly from Target with my username asking me to login to my account. The only information I gave was my zipcode & email address. This was a very sophisticated scam compared to other calls I’ve received. The other piece of odd info they provided was that the charges had been made on an iPhone 13 named Andy’s iPhone based in NJ and asked if I was in NJ. When I said no, they asked where I was and I just said my home state. But they already had my mailing address before they even called. My caller ID showed +1 (612) 304-6073 in Minneapolis which is a real Target #. Both people I spoke with were male with very thick accents. They were very polite until I started pushing back.

Counterfeit Product

Charleston boutique promotes itself as a US based store. The item ordered was a dress and the item received was not the same as advertised. It is extremely poor quality, a different color and a different style. The business states that I must pay for return shipping for an item that I did not order and that I must pay fees to ship to China ranging from $50-$125. The website promotes a 30 day money back guarantee. The customer service agent has responded three times with proposed discounts to keep the item. Charleston Boutique uses fraudulent marketing, a bait and switch order fulfillment process, and bad business practices to refund money. Their mailing envelope has a US address. It took 2.5 weeks to receive the item. Buyer beware. I am still waiting to see if we can resolve the issue. Highly unlikely.

Employment - Zuke Technologies imposter

I was offered a job and they sent me a check in the mail to purchase my starting equipment. However, upon consulting with me bank, it was a fraudulent check and i hadnt realized it. I had researched zuke technologies and they are an actual company but I believe this person may have been impersonating them. they did the interview process and everything and had me pay the vendor via cash app however, their check bounced and has put my account into the negative. I'm working with my bank to fix this currently, and upon consulting my bank realized they sent a check from a whole different company. they used bitcoin via cash app and tried to make me give them my bank login which is when I immediately went to my bank to report it.

The clothing isn't damaged but it certainly isn't what was advertised. What was advertised was high quality family-owned personally made products at the sale prices of $120 per shoes which would be the quality that I would expect for Birkenstocks. Instead, ehat I got was fast fashion like Shein that is going to break down in a matter of number of wears that should have been sold for a fraction of the price.

Several calls from area code 270. Wouldn’t answer, then they left a message saying that I had ordered an iPhone for $999.00. Message said to speak to a representative, dial 1 at end of message. That didn’t work so I called the number on my phone (landline). The person who answered said his name was Steve Watson and his ID number was 97625. He had a heavy accent and was difficult to understand. Not convinced he’s from or lives in the United States. Told him I had not ordered a phone and that I would never spend $999 on a phone. He transferred me to someone else who said he was a deputy with some kind of Commission. He asked me a couple questions, but when he said he needed the last four digits of my Social Security number, I told him I didn’t feel comfortable doing that and that I would need to discuss it with my son first.

In February 2025, I paid $954 upfront for a six-month membership at Rock Box Kickboxing. On May 27, 2025—about halfway through my membership—the gym abruptly shut down without prior warning. The closure was not announced ahead of time. There was no signage, email, or formal notification explaining the reason. They sent me a text message. When I contacted the business, I was told that I would receive a refund for the unused portion of my membership. However, it is now August 2025, and I have not received any refund. I have followed up multiple times via email, but the business is no longer responding. Their website and social media have either been taken down or remain inactive. I am owed approximately $397.50 for services not rendered. This appears to be a scam involving the collection of upfront payments shortly before the business shut its doors, with no intention—or ability—to reimburse customers. Others should be cautious about paying in advance for long-term services at fitness facilities that may be at risk of sudden closure.

Phishing

I usually book air travel online through Expedia or directly through the airline. This time I had a question for the airline so I decided to call. I bing searched (first mistake) American Airlines customer service which generated the number 800-433-7800. Upon calling a gentlemen picked up and walked me through what I thought was the purchasing of a flight. He stated that the charge would come in two separate transactions, one for the tickets and one for the fees/taxes. The first fee triggered an alert from my bank so I put him on hold and called my fraud dept. They stated that it's not uncommon for VISA to generate those alerts independently and it was probably safe as long as I knew what the charge was for. During the course of the call I received two emails, one confirming the travel details, and one generated from American with seat details. After I got off the phone I checked my CC statement and saw two separate charges. I compared that against the confirmation code that the scammer sent me and it turns out he did purchase tickets but also charged a separate 543.00 amount that was unrelated to the booking. I double checked with American who stated that they never charge two separate items for booking so it would was likely a scam. I'm working through disputing the charge now. What I learned is to not get lazy, go to the actual website and dig until you find the right phone number. I hope this report can help others avoid getting fooled by this scam.
