Online Purchase

I was contacted on LinkedIn to email this person and the person would "rework" my resume and clean up my Linkedin account to help recruiters recognize me better. The person asked for $30 down payment. The person said they never received the funds. When I was paid, I paid the full $100. As soon as the money was received, the person with the email address ghosted me and didn't provide the new resume. This person also went into my LinkedIn account and used my profile to contact other members seeking jobs.

Investment - Safe By Law

On my Instagram account, I left a message trying to get back the money that was scammed from me. Alex Johnson called me consistently for a week and emailed me as well. I signed a contract stating they would receive 7% of funds after they retrieved it for me. He tried to get me to set up a Crypto account, which I stated I do not have anything to do with Cryptocurrency, Blockchain,etc. He emailed me stating they're sending the funds back minus their fee. I never sent funds in Cryptocurrency so WHY is my money now all of a sudden since Alex Johnson's involvement turned to this? I could not verify his business.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Online Passport Renewal Scam

This site is marketed as a passport renewal website; however, it is deceptive in its appearance and wording. It looks like an official government site and there was a point during the application where a green box popped up and said "you are eligible to renew online." This made it seem like by filling out the application and submitting the payment I would have my passport renewed. It was also the first website that popped up when searching for passport renewal online, again very deceptive. There is no phone number listed to contact the company. I sent numerous emails to the email address listed and have not gotten any response. The listed street address seems false as it is the address of the Empire State Building. Do NOT use this site, be very careful when searching for online passport renewal. Make sure you use the official government website ending in .gov.

Credit Cards - Wells Fargo Bank Fraud Department - Imposter

I received a text from 806-451-9450 regarding a fraud alert to my bank account. I texted back stating the charges in question were not mine and received another text that a Wells Fargo Fraud Prevention Specialist would be calling me shortly. Immediately a call came in from 806-206-1863. The man sounded too unprofessional to be representing a major bank and I became suspicious, realizing it was a mistake to respond to the texts/calls instead of calling Wells Fargo on the phone number listed on back of my credit card. This derelict was asking me questions to phish for the amount in my bank account. He stated that my debit card was trying to be used at various locations in Florida. I asked the fraudster for a phone number to call back, he gave it to me, and I then called WF and verified the phone number given to me was not associated with the bank. WF verified to me that the fraudster had not been able to take any $ from my account. Based on a previous incident earlier that day with my credit union I realized how this creep had stolen my information: Several days earlier I attempted to make a $50 purchase online via Google search to buy an O'neil wetsuit at a very attractive price. When I input my debit card info from my credit union account a message appeared "this payment type not supported- try another form of payment". So, I entered my WF debit card info and same message appeared. I was unable to complete the transaction. I went directly to O'neil's official website and could not find such wetsuit for sale, and gave up. Two days later my credit union called me and asked if I tried to make a $3500 payment to Capital One credit card services. No! I don't even do business with Capital One.The fraudster, through my online transaction attempt, had stolen my name, phone number, address, and 2 debit cards' info complete with cvv codes and expiration dates, The credit union was not interesting in pursuing this thief but terminated the debit card for me. The bank was not either interested in catching these criminals, since no money was successfully taken from me. I insisted on my debit card being terminated at Wells Fargo as well, All because fraudsters are trying to take everything from everybody. I called O'Neil and they admitted they were aware that their website was being fraudulently impersonated and "it might take several days for it to be taken down." I find fault with this corporation too because they are not interested enough in protecting their customers to place a warning notice on their website that it was temporarily being impersonated. Shame on O'neil too! Fortunately I did not lose $ but was very inconvenienced. And I know now they have my personal information they will try again using a different scheme, Somebody chase down these criminals and lock them up!
