Employment - Cargovera couriers

I was contacted by the manager whose name was Shamika, she told me it was a shipment tracker position . I would receive packages to my home , open them and make sure they weren’t damaged, take pictures of the product and then post it on there dashboard. Once received they would send me shipping label to print out and then take the packages to usps, fedex and the post office . She told me I would receive and send out packages for one month then I would get paid 4300 dollars and a bonus of 45 dollars for each package that was shipped correctly and a additional 100 dollars for packages that needed to be picked up at local stores . There was the shipment manger which her name was Angelina and the outgoing Mail manager, and his name was Randy. I began to look on Google about the company because it sounded a little too good to be true to me and I did find things online saying that it was a scam. I brought it to Shamika and she claimed that they weren’t a scam that the person who posted on the Better Business Bureau posted that they were a scam because they kept the merchandise and that was the reason why they didn’t pay the person who reported the scam. I worked for the company for about 2 1/2 weeks and now I’m no longer able to log on to the dashboard or get in contact with anyone about the payment that I was supposed to receive.

Counterfeit Product - Hosehawk Pro

Received the product which you are supposed to attach to a hose and increase water pressure. No instructions. Came in a plastic bag. Inferior plastic parts. No way to attach it to a hose. Checked online and everyone else who received it said the same thing I’m saying. Absolutely worthless piece of junk. Saw this advertised on both FB and on You Tube TV. Thought it must be legitimate. Pay Pal couldn’t be reached. Couldn’t reach this company either. They need to be stopped. They’re scamming a large number of people! I’m 66 years old and never have had a problem like this before and never reported anyone to the BBB, but I feel strongly that this needs to be nipped in the bud. I’ll accept my own responsibility for the cost—it should just be stopped.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I was contacted by a person with Walton Award Company who said I had won $5.1 million, a car, and $1,000 a month for life. Of course, when they were supposedly flying in to present the prize, I was told I needed to pay a state-to-state fee of $2,500, plus a BBB fee. I purchased Green Dot cards and sent them the information.

I received a letter showing all of the prize information, but there was always something else that needed to be paid. Supposedly, four flights were made to my city, but each time there was another fee that had to be paid before they could deliver the prize.

I even received a check for half of the award, totaling $2,250,000, to make it seem real. Of course, I couldn't cash it because I had no documentation to support it. It did come from what appeared to be a legitimate Bank of America account, but that didn't mean I could cash it.

Sixteen months later, the prize has now grown to "$8.7 million," and I am out more than $187,000. Today, I was told I need to send another $21,000 to pay for storage fees for the car, check, and other items.

I've decided to report this so no other disabled seniors are taken in by this "sweepstakes" from Walton Awards. I've lost all of my 401(k), and I'm sorry I kept sending more money because I believed the person I'd been talking with since January 2025 was telling me the truth.

Your RBC information has been added to the company payroll already but before I proceed with this payment i hope you're aware while making payments from the company account there will be a international verification process which needs to be done before payment can go through this verification will cost $48 worth of bitcoin which is also a refundable charge added to your payment immediately the verification process has been done ? The fee is because it was sent through the company’s business account and this is the first time you’re being paid from us that’s why and it’s a refundable payment asap Your next payment won’t be as this cause you’d already be on our payroll You just need to complete the verification so you can receive your money as soon as possible in your RBC. Once the verification process is done, your $900 and the fee will be sent right away it won’t take more than a few minutes to complete ? My company added a bonus to you because you did a great job. That is why you are seeing $900 So can we proceed with the verification process?

I was contacted by the "law firm of Megan Smith" and was informed this was an attempt to collect a debt with Cashnet USA. I asked about the time frame for said debt and was informed it was taken out June 2019 and closed in 2021. I informed Saudi lady on the phone that I was incarcerated at the time this was taken out and she said it was in 2017. I again informed her that I was incarcerated from 2012-2019 and that I would send proof and she said I could explain all this to the judge. When I said I know my rights and that she has to review my information and take my claim that I am not financially responsible for the debt she hung up on me. When I called her back she threatened me with an additional charge of phone harassment which I then began contacting the BBB who looked it up and said the phone number they used was reported by MANY people as having been scammed. I also contacted Cashnet USA and they said that I do not have and never had a payday loan through their company. The call back number they gave was 866-673-9570.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare

Our phone rang with a "representative of Frontier" calling to tell us that our phone lines will no longer be available and we would need to switch to a VOIP solution. Our owner then signed up with them for the recommended replacement service through Ring Planet and Vonage. We installed a new phone system they sent to us and they ported our numbers over to them. Days later our internet goes out, I call Frontier and find out porting our phone numbers closed our account. Through talking to the Frontier representative I discovered that they still offer phone service and no change needed to be made. We were simply scammed by a deceptive salesman creating a sense or urgency where there was none and presenting themselves as a representative of our utility when they were not. Now the business has a loss of internet and two days of lost wages for IT staff to perform the work converting the system. We will have to pay again to have the phones re-established to the previous service. By the time we have re-established service with our original utility we will have lost roughly $1000 loss in wages alone and loss of internet for five days.

Employment - Handmade Advance Fee Task Employment Phishing and Identity Theft Scam

The company stated that you would complete tasks from home, such as putting together small items for a merchant, and send them back. Bottom line, 'they" ask you to complete a task for a small commission, and then ask you to send money, and then they would refund the money with a commission. Does this happen? YES. The issue is that, over the course of days, the amount increases. When I stated I did not have the amount and simply wanted a refund of what I submitted ($98), they said multiple times that I would need to provide the additional funds FIRST before I get a refund. And they were adamant about it to the point where they said I should ask friends or family. Even to the point where one rep, Lisa, stated my financial situation is not her problem, and in order for me to get MY original money BACK, I would have to give THEM the additional FUNDS FIRST. I filed a police report because, bottom line, they took my money and won't give it back. The interaction got to a point where I was being bullied for asking for what is mine.

I am asking for proof that the sunscreen was originally made in the USA. They say it is made in the USA but they have international shipping partners to help. .

They required first and a refundable cleaning deposit totalling $2700 be deposited in Brook's bank account in Pennsylvania to hold condo. I then received email from Anthony Allen from Tranquil Homes and Properties saying the condo could not be leased month to month but at a minimum of 3 months and requiring all 3 months be paid in advance and requiring another $2600 to fulfill the 3 months required. I rejected their proposal. The craigslist listing was immediately taken down. I have repeatedly attempted to contact all involved by email with no response from any of them.

If this was supposedly so good, why do I need another one? Email after email. On and On. I chose to cancel but apparently, not soon enough. I received it and never opened the packahe. Again, email after email trying to encourage me to purchase something more. I then started my correspondence asking for return instructions. Email after email wanting me to purchasr more. After 7-10 emails to them, they finally gave me my return instructions. And of course, I had to pay the $15 postage cost. Then, another THREE weeks of asking where my refund was. I finally got that back less the $4.99 lifetime guarantee amount, which I did not agree to. Hope this product works for you and you didn't get sucked into purchasing a bunch more.

Business Name Used: Cash Advanced Debt Collection

Debt Collections - Associate Recovery Group LLC

The initial contact was via text message to my business phone: " {FIRST LAST}, your account **************** is 60 days past due. To avoid further collection efforts, contact us at 833-907-5722. Reply STOP to opt-out." So, I called the number from a landline phone and spoke with an associate who spoke as a debt collector for a "debt" that I collected in 2014 for Comenity Bank/Financial--which I do not recall having ever or opened. They knew my social, birthdate and previous address. They said they sent me letters in reference to the debt; however, I couldn't be for certain b/c my local post office had recently made changes my current address, and some of my mail and new debit card was rerouted back to the sender, so I assumed their letters had too. I did google the company, and it did seem suspicious as it was coming up as being confused by "Portfolio Recovery Associates", which is a valid debt collection agency. She explained I had a debt balance of $1866.92, that would become a judgement of an outstanding balance of $3,868.21 under file # ****************. If not settled over the phone, I would be served a judgement at my current place of employment. She asked the counter debt relief offer, made a "call" as a litigator and told me $950.00 to settle the debt. Because my personal information she stated, to me, was leaked recently with my previous *********** facility, it seemed legit. She then sent me an Adobe file to read and sign. After checking my Credit report with all 3 bureaus, coming to the BBB website, and AI companion; I contacted my bank immediately and issued a fraud alert and a new card.

Phishing

Received automated voice mail message from "Tina" saying they had made several attempts to reach out about a personal matter and to do the right thing and call back. This same company keeps calling asking for my son when I call back claiming he owes a medical bill over $638. My son is special needs I take care of his bills. All his bills come to my address. When I start questioning the "agent" they get defensive and hang up.

Online Purchase - Maple Ridge Doxies / Loyal Furry Friends

I contacted Maple Ridge Doxies via FB Messenger in interest for a female mini Dachshund. Signed a contract and paid $300 deposit via Apple Pay. After awhile, the “kennel” changed contact from Messenger to email, [email protected]. We talked on and off through email. Personal things came up and they were no longer able to meet me but said they’d pay for shipment and the pup was to be delivered today via Kiwi Freight Express with a tracking number: WPC00553871475-CARGO I clicked the link, typed in the tracking number - all my info was correct though it didn’t list my city, state or zip. I made contact via email stating such was missing. I used Google AI to see if that tracking number/company was legitimate and it stated it wasn’t.
