Suggests that I may be his relative due to having same last name of individual that passed away from Covid. Claim is to go together with Attorney noted to claim the funds in my behalf. 10% of funds awarded would go to charity ...the rest would be split 45% and 45% between me and the attorney. I was to reach out to the attorney, Davey Jones, via his email addresses. I threw out the letter recognizing this to be a Scam.

Debt Collections - Debt collections calls

Someone by the name Sarah Williams called my place of work using the number 877-254-3099. She also called my sister-in-law and husband. On the voicemails left the contact number provided was 877-273-3988. Her voicemails claimed that there has been repeated contact attempts that I haven't answered (I do not answer calls that come up as Spam or do not provide appropriate information.) She threatens that I have a claim number, that she is filing paperwork with my county. At no point on any voicemail left to anyone she contacted does she state who she is working for, what it is in regard to and its very threatening. Nothing has been sent to my home or email regarding said claim. A quick county records search also shows no pending cases.

Online Purchase - Barbara Stever Boutique

The company is listed on the info on the bottom of their website as being in Boston, but when I reviewed the return policy, the return address that's given is in China (!), and returns are not free. They also only accept returns that they deem to be their fault, as in defective materials. The fact that the bra i ordered (in the correct size according to their size chart) didn’t fit me correctly is apparently my fault. They also don't have a customer service phone number, only an email. Clearly they have no intention of being a reputable company!

Phishing - Phishing

I contacted Creek Homestead Yards on facebook about purchasing 2 live ducks. They said the cost with delivery was $70. I agreed to delivery since it would have been an 8 hr roundtrip to pick them up. I sent $35 of it through Zelle to an account I figured was his/hers. I then get a message the next day that they were being shipped and they needed my shipping information which I provided. Then I was told I would need to send $110 for insurance on the live animals. A bit later they then told me the crate was not sufficient, and I could buy or rent a crate. I said I would rent it send sent $299. Both times they told me I would get the money back upon delivery of the ducks. I was then contacted back and told they need $250 for custom stamps due to live animals. I sent that but was starting to question it. Then I got another message that said they needed $300 more to secure livestock permit from the city and transfer of name, ie adoption fee. I told them I was not sending anymore, the city does not require that for delivery and they need to return my money and send the ducks back. I contacted the seller and he said they are reliable and he would send $100 of the $300 needed. I did not send any more money. I don't believe the ducks were ever available, they were never taken to any shipping company, and I was never getting any ducks.

Investment - Handmade

This is a pyramid scam. The more money you “deposit” the more “commission” you earn. For instance. You are required to deposit $25 through crypto and you earn a 30% commission of that $25 and keep it as a profit. However, that’s the first easy task you complete upon being “hired”. The next days tasks get more expensive and rise to $250 to be deposited with a profit of 30% commission. Until the next thing you know you’re depositing $5000 and then all of a sudden they place holds and stipulations on your account when you go to withdraw your funds because you “took too long” to make the deposit or you read the 5 step directions wrong to withdraw the funds and then get placed on a “bad reputation list” in which you have to pay even more money to get taken off that list and can’t get your funds until that deposit is made. And the list goes on and on with excuse after excuse when nothing was ever disclosed in the beginning about all these stipulations. And no matter how hard you fight or how much you pay. They still have a back up ready to keep your money.

Online Purchase - limuva

So I order some lip gloss from this company and it took a little over 3 weeks before I heard anything. It seems like every time I checked the location of my order it stated it was in transition. I then reached out to the company via email because they have no number listed, and they tell me, I can see it’s out for delivery just be patient. Later on that night around 9pm I noticed the order is now marked as delivered so I go check my mailbox, noticed nothing is at my door, checked my neighbors homes just in case it was delivered to the wrong place. After doing all of this I reach back out and since then I continue to get a generic “we’re sorry someone will be in touch with you soon” email. Not only did they steal my money, I’m sure they’re stealing plenty others money and probably personal information as well.
