I am a salesperson for an independent auto dealership. As part of my marketing, I list vehicles on Facebook Marketplace. I was contacted by a person named Jackson Travis via messenger. As I usually do I gave him my phone number to text me any questions he might have on the vehicle. Via text, he asked for the vehicle's history report and I provided him with the Experian Auto Check report. He then said he had a bad experience with those types of reports and asked if I could get him a report from a company called Vehicles Path, this is their url: https://vehiclespath.com/. Please note, the URL does not appear with www at the beginning. I told him we do not use off-brand reports from unknown companies and he continued to insist, asking me to personally pay for it and promising to reimburse me when he bought the vehicle. At this point I knew something was not right. I looked at the website and found a lot of misspellings and incorrect industry terms. I also went on scam report websites and Reddit and found numerous instances of people reporting that they bought the report and their credit card information was stolen and their bank accounts emptied. I am an automotive professional so I spotted the danger pretty early. My concern is that in the scam reports and on Reddit, the majority of people reporting this site were not auto sales professionals, just regular folks listing their personal vehicles for sale. They more than likely would not have the experience and knowledge to stop this scam. The Facebook profile the person used was probably fake but I took a screenshot and can provide it if needed. It was established in 2025 and had marketplace listings that looked like real estate or rental listings which may be another scam the person is running. The Facebook profile url is: https://www.facebook.com/profile.php?id=61581359007726. He spoke American English like a US native so that leads me to believe that this is not an overseas scam. I hope this is helpful and that you can find the person or people responsible.

Employment
applied online for a job position and received a response back and given a link for a teams chat, didn’t think nothing of it just because with certain employer they went thru teams for the recruitment process. Everything at first looked legit, gave all information required and provided social for background check thru a website given from the scammed recruiter. again everything seemed legit, the website the contact info everything looked clean. What was worrisome was the fact that HR and IT needed the bank acct login information that raised a million red flags they did not feel comfortable with that information and they requested for a certain bank account info. Now when reaching out to the scam recruiter about it, they where not pushy what so ever they where completely understandable and ensured the change can happen once they can log in thru the dashboard. Again the suspicions were low at this point. What caught the interest was that an equipment tracking number was requested and nothing came back but I suggested to ask about a new link for the upload of a debit card and the scam recruiter answered. I suggested to call UHG which it happened and they assured that there was no employment and the emails would be under UHC, Optumrx, or UHG.com which at this point yes they didn’t lose anything but now have to monitor social security and verify for potential identity theft. Spreading awareness to those who see this.

Optimal Solutions is the managing company over many subscription and app services. I selected one purchase for $11.52 to enter a drawing for a greenhouse. This entry led to 9 charges to my card from businesses under Optimal Solutions. Fraud totaling $543.00. I made contact through the following phone numbers which all lead back to the same company. #866-963-8345; 212-254-0333; 866-667-2124 are all answered by the same service Optimal Solutions. Also, the descriptors on the bank charges do not match the actual name of the online business so it is very hard to connect the dots and identify what is happening. This is one of the reasons it has occurred over a 4 month period from Jan - April 2026. When I requested cancellation of the subscriptions from each of the phone numbers listed above, I was given the IDENTICAL cancellation confirmation code for each of the accounts even though they were stated as "different companies managed by Optimal Solutions". What are the chances that the confirmation code from 3 different businesses would be identical?
When I requested a 100% Refund of the total amount of charges they offered a small percentage back of the final draft and asked that I not further pursue restitution. Again, I stated that I wanted 100% refund, they countered with another offer of a higher monetary value, but not the whole amount. By offering a partial refund they admitted to the fraud but would not refund all the money. I am working with my very helpful bank to file action against them, but that does not return my lost money. Fraud is rampant and the US is supposed to be working toward cleaning up this problem.

I contacted a 1-800 number to purchase insurance. The representative who assisted me first provided a quote for Allstate; later—because the car dealership requested proof of insurance in order to release the vehicle on February 9, 2026—we called back. The person on the line assisted us, and we requested that she modify the policy so that it would go into effect immediately. She informed us that this was not possible with Allstate and that, instead, we would need to switch our coverage to Progressive; we agreed. My daughter had her credit card handy and paid the full amount of $1,700.00. Progressive sent me an insurance ID card, but I didn't pay it any mind until the company began calling me to demand payment. I called back, and the same representative by the name Rachael assisted me; she explained that it was simply an error and that the insurer would send me a new ID card. Subsequently, on April 12, 2026, I received a collection letter demanding a payment of $40 for the insurance. On April 14, 2026, I attempted to contact the (broker)—that is, the person Rachael who had originally assisted me. I spent time on the phone leaving messages, but when I call, there is no ringtone, nor is the name of any insurance company mentioned; there is only an automated message asking me to leave a voicemail, and the name mentioned in the message differs from the one I was initially given. Progressive has been kind enough to walk me through the information they received regarding my case.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill
I received a letter to renew my 2026 annual registration for my business which is an LLC. With so many changes I wasn’t sure if this is one of the new things we’re supposed to do, but I do really deep down and what they do is they pay your SSC which is $50 and then charge you $95 to do it. It’s something that I just normally pay $50 a year to do and I get billed by the city so it’s just a third-party jumping in the middle to charge people $95 for something that they can do themselves. Why would they pay this entity instead of just paying the bill? Why does this even exist just to make money off people who don’t understand that they can just pay their bill without a third-party to jump in and take money for absolutely no reason except to make people think that this is something that they need to do through them.
