Government Agency Imposter - Next Step Filings

I received a letter stating that my business needed to file by March 31st in order to remain active and demanding I pay $175 to renew before the deadline. Nowhere on this letter does it state that this is an independent business not associated with the state of Washington. It is mis-representing itself in order to gain money from small businesses.

Employment - Trailzen Couriers

I was contacted on March 16, 2026 at about 12:00pm from a women who identified herself as jasmine Jackson claiming to be HR for Trailzen Couriers and that she was contacting me in regards to a position I applied for on indeed as a quality control specialist that is a remote from home position. She asked me to verify my name and email. After verifying my email she sent me an employment contract after a brief over the phone interview. I filled out my name and address and sent pictures of the front and back of my ID along with a photo of myself holding my ID. Today March 17, 2026 I was contacted by a woman who identified herself as bianca ortiz who claimed to be a supervisor for outgoing packages, she stated that she was to assist me with the final stages of onboarding and asked me to confirm once again my name and address. Once that was done she emailed me a link to the company dashboard site that I was to use for all the work associated with the position. I filled out my name, address, and phone number along with an emergency contact and filled out my direct deposit linked to my bank account. After finishing that I was then emailed a list of managers and supervisors to contact if I needed help with the work or any further questions about my job position. I was informed that I would be sent a link tomorrow to fill out my W4 form and with all things considered I'm glad I didn't receive that today as well. All names included are Bianca Ortiz, Jasmine Jackson, Jose Lopez, and Pedro Moreno. The address given was for a place in Montana and when I noticed that, I mentioned that when I applied for the job it said Utah was the company location to which she responded saying they have locations all through out the United States and that the main office was located in Montana. After informing my Fiance about the job and showing him the company dashboard, he suggested I Google the company to read up on it more and that is how I found out this "company" is actually a scam. I have locked all my cards and will be going to my bank to speak with someone about what my next steps should be.

Employment - Rugiet Health / impostor /Delphine Carver

I received an email that was apparently a response to my interest in working for Rugiet Health as a "Remote Social-First Video Editor". Copy and pasted below. Subject: Interview availability From: [email protected] Message: Hello, Thank you for your interest in the Remote Social-First Video Editor position at Rugiet. After reviewing your background, we would like to schedule a conversation to learn more about your experience and discuss the remote role in greater detail. This discussion will allow us to better understand your skills and answer any questions you may have about the position and our team. You’ll find a brief document attached outlining the role, responsibilities, and next steps. Please review it and reply with your availability over the next few days so we can arrange a suitable time. We look forward to speaking with you. Regards, Delphine Carver HR Manager | Rugiet --- The email, at first, seemed legit enough, and I had admittedly applied to many other similar jobs around this time. However, what gave me pause was the fact that I couldn't recall ever applying to work for Rugiet. I checked the job sites I frequently visit, and found the job listing was indeed real and had been viewed by me before. But there was no record of me applying for the job through any of those sites. I checked my email to see if I had maybe applied through job sites I don't usually use, but at no point did I receive any confirmation emails saying that I had applied for this position at this company. I also found the email domain to be suspect. Rugiet's official domain is www.rugiet.com, and even their customer service email is [email protected]. So it was strange that this email was coming from [email protected] rather than [email protected]. Without downloading it, I previewed the attachment they had wanted me to read. It was a PDF file that seemed like just a copy of the job description off the Rugiet website, but with additional information like "Company Sponsored Equipment" and "How to schedule your interview". The document instructed me to arrange for a meeting on Microsoft Teams with Evelyn Montgomery ([email protected]), which is already different from the name on the actual email I received, but also even more suspect because it doesn't seem like an official company email address. When I searched the email [email protected], it immediately led me to this website, showing that it had been used for a scam before. Thankfully, I was able to figure things out before things could be taken any further, but it's still pretty concerning.

Phishing - Plain Green Loans / impostor

I received a letter in the mail about a recent missed payment on loan with Plain Green Loans. I never took out a loan with them or received any money. When I did some research, I noticed the phone number on the letter doesn't match the one on their website. I have been receiving a call once or twice a week since receiving the letter, leaving voicemails stating to get 15% off my debt if I use my refund to pay. Which, number one, how would they know I paid with my refund. And number two, they never state a phone number to call back in the voicemail. Only a website to go for payment.

The same, I was contacted by Ashley via text: Hello, I’m Ashley from ProLogistix, Are you still looking for new work? Then again by “Alice” ; Hi, I'm Alice. Ashley told me to contact you about a job opportunity. Would you like more information about the position? Let me know, and I'll share the job details with you. Our role is to help brands increase the exposure of their products on online platforms by creating real activity and traffic data. This helps merchants improve their sales in a more cost-effective way. For example, as you can see in the picture I shared, there are two products with the same specifications and price. However, most shoppers usually choose the product that appears more popular or attractive, like Product A. Our goal is to help increase the popularity of Product B so it can attract more buyers and improve sales. I'll guide you everything through the training session and there is no selling and no calling involved, just simple data processing through the platform. Any questions before I explain the salary structure? You will earn in two ways: 1??. Basic Salary (for consistent work): $1,000 for 5 working days $1,500 for 10 working days $2,000 for 20 working days $3,000 for 30 working days Cumulatively, you will earn $7,500 USD per month. 2??. Daily Commission Earn $100+ per day by completing 2 sets of 45 brand submissions. Commissions can be withdrawn immediately after task completion. Does this meet your expectations so far? If everything sounds good, I can guide you step by step through the quick registration and training (takes about 30–45 minutes), and then you’ll be ready to start earning. Should I send you the registration link now so we can set you up? file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/bb/11/A8494C83-4B56-40C6-AE76-483DD227B97F/IMG_0004.heic Okay! Now let me create a training account for you where you can learn and earn at the same time. After completing the training, you will also receive a training commission of 20%. Please wait for a moment, I’ll be right back. ?? I have created a training account for you. Please log out of your current account and then log in using these credentials. Username: Alice2736 Password: 123456 Once you log in, go to the Profile section and check the balance. I deposited $1000 in this account for training purposes to access real brand data. The platform also gives an 8% deposit bonus ($80). So the total balance should be $1080. Please check and confirm if you see this amount. ?? Okay! You will see there "Start work," click on it and send me a screenshot so I will guide you on how it works. Here is the brand name on the top that you're going to promote. 504 is the product price while 5.04 is the profit that we get. By each time we drive data, you will earn 0.5% commission of the product price for level 1 members and 1% for level 2. Once you scroll you'll see submit and when we click "Submit" it means we're submitting the task to the ASO system for promotion. After submitting the task, the funds used to match the task will be refunded to our total account balance, and the commission earned for the task will also be added to our balance. Yes, you have to follow the same procedure and complete all 45 tasks. Once you are done, let me know. Okay! There you will find an option called “History.” Click on it and you will see a pending task. Simply submit it and then continue again. file:///var/mobile/Library/SMS/Attachments/22/02/94950088-07D5-43A5-9E74-DFD40B0BE1F7/IMG_0895.PNG Oh, you got a combination task in the training account. ?? How much is the negative amount currently showing in the account after receiving the combination task? Don't worry, let me explain the difference between a normal task and a combination task with an example so you can understand it better. As you can see, I marked three products. The first two have a 10% commission, while the third one has a 1% commission. This shows the difference between them. Normal tasks give us about 1% commission, while combination tasks give us 10 times higher profit compared to normal tasks. Let me give you a simple example for better understanding:) If a normal product costs $1,000, you will earn 1% commission, which is $10. But if it is a combination product that costs $1,000, you will earn 10 times more, which means $100 commission. I'll deposit the required amount, and then you will be able to proceed further. But before that, do you know why the amount went into negative when we encountered a combination task? Let me illustrate with an example! Suppose you go out shopping and want to buy two products. The first product costs $70, and the second product costs $50. However, you only have $100 in your pocket. This is an example for letto help you to understand why the amount went into the negative,. When we encounter a combination task, the total amount of the task exceeds the balance in our account, which causesing our balance to show as negative. Alright! In that case, the account owner needs to make a temporary deposit because the merchants require a transaction record to complete the task. However, once the tasks are completed, the account owner can withdraw all the funds along with the earnings. Note: It's randomly generate by the system and no one can skip or get it. It's designed to increase the user's commission Good question. Your funds will remain safe and secure in your account, giving you enough time to arrange them. After completing your task, you can withdraw them along with your profit. In case you do get a negative balance, don't worry. You won't have the same high negative balance as mine because your account level is 1 and it starts with 100. You will only go negative according to your account balance. I believe that before reaching a negative balance, you will earn enough funds from the work to cover it in the future. Your question is valid, but let me tell you one thing: this is part of our daily tasks. Once you complete your daily task, your working day will be counted. When your working days are counted, you will receive your salary on specific days. Completing your daily task is mandatory. The tasks are randomly generated by the system, so don't worry. You will become familiar with the work. Give yourself some time; it's your first day. Now give me a few minutes. I'll be right back after making the deposit, and then you will be able to proceed again. I have deposited the amount. Now please submit the pending task, and then you can continue completing the remaining tasks until it reaches 45/45. As you can see, I received all my funds back along with my profit. The total amount is $2102.29 and the commission I earned is $434.29, which is a good amount. As I mentioned earlier, you will also receive a commission from this training. Now please log out of this account and log in to your own account, and let me know if you received your commission or not. Good, as you can see your funds ($86.87) now you can start working on your account. These funds will help you access real brand data. Once you complete your 40/40 tasks, let me know. Cool! Now you only have one last set of tasks left. Please note that every day you need to complete two sets of tasks, and once you finish them, you can withdraw your earnings right away. Now go to the profile section and you will find an option called "Contact." Click on it and reach out to customer service. Provide them with your username and request your second set of tasks for today. Once they reset your tasks, simply complete them again. When you finish your second set of tasks, let me know and I will guide you through the withdrawal procedure for your earnings. Download Telegram from the app store first, and then you can reach out to customer service. Okay! Once they reset your second set of tasks, simply complete your task again and let me know once you're done. Well done, let me share my telegram with you so text me there and further I'll guide you how you can withdraw your earnings @Alicelove0004 This is my username text me there with your name and I’ll guide you further I am just a user like you and have been working with the company for over 8 months now My job is just to guide new users to get accustomed to the workflow and understand how to earn extra passive income daily That’s for users that wish to level up their work account to earn high profits. The payment is just temporary and will be refunded upon completion of the sets of task If this is a scam then how come that I have been working with the platform over 8 months now? Then again, did you spent any of your money before you received your withdrawal to your PayPal account? You have just withdrawn and you still having doubts about the job? Not all research websites say the fact about companies If you don’t feel comfortable, then I can add you to the platform telegram work group, so you can meet other users who you can interact with and learn more about the platform too We can continue on Telegram if you don’t mind? Yes, PayPal will also work for you to withdraw funds. Do you know how to get an ETH address from your PayPal account, or would you like me to guide you? Also, I would like to add you to the working group where both old and new members are working and sharing their experiences. This will be helpful for you to communicate and gain more knowledge about the work. Would you like me to send you the joining link? https://t.me/+D-fHY-MxF3xkMzlh Now you need to make a temporary deposit of 60 in your account, do you know how to transfer it into your working account from PayPal, or would you like me to guide you? If you still have $50 in your PayPal then you just have to add $10 more, then I will guide you how you can transfer it into your work account and complete your remaining task. How can I be reassured this is not a scam? This is just an alert because you're not the only one making payments to this address. Many users are sending payments to the same address, so due to the large number of transactions, this alert is shown. Rest assured, it's not a scam. You're not the only one working here, so don't worry, I am here with you. The advantage of combo tasks is that they can bring huge returns, allowing us to accumulate initial capital more quickly and lay a solid foundation for future work. Of course, their drawbacks are also obvious. It requires sufficient funds to be prepared in advance as a prepayment. But as people often say, no pain, no gain. this is the most realistic and direct proof. As long as we maintain clear judgment and stable execution, we will definitely receive the rewards we deserve. Many people feel that hard work yields no results because they only see the success but not the persistence behind it. In fact, many wealthy individuals have also walked a very difficult path, achieving enviable positions through gradual perseverance. This is what you deserve, as you have the courage to embrace new things. Many people lack the courage to change their current situation, which means you are much better than most. Just like God provides plenty of food for every bird, but doesn’t place it right next to their nests. However, some birds will go out to search for food even on rainy days, because those birds that still venture out in the rain have dreams and aspirations Dear you can withdraw your earnings at any time after completing your daily task orders. You can keep $100 for tomorrow's work, or you can withdraw all your funds. The higher your account balance, the higher your earnings will be. Different VIP levels have different earnings due to varying commission rates and task quantities. The value of regular tasks is matched based on your account balance and VIP level. The value of combination tasks is randomly matched by the system. Our main income comes from commissions and bonuses, not a base salary. For example, upgrading to VIP2 requires an account balance of at least $500. VIP2 users can earn approximately $300 per day. Similarly, VIP4 requires $5000, but can earn at least $2000 per day. This is because upgrading VIP level increases commission rates. For instance, VIP2 earns 1% commission on each regular task submission, while VIP1 earns 0.5%. For combo tasks, VIP2 earns 10% commission on each submission, while VIP1 earns only 5%. Higher account balances result in higher earnings. For example, VIP4 earns 2.0% commission on each submission, and 20% on combo tasks. This difference significantly impacts earnings. Yes, this is the fixed salary for the job. Today is your second workday, and tomorrow is your third. After you successfully register for 5 workdays, you will receive your first salary of 1000 USD. I believe that in the future we can be good mentors and friends on each other's life paths, learning from each other, sharing with each other, and working hard together to become better versions of ourselves. Tomorrow, I hope you still have good luck in encountering combo tasks, because only by encountering combo tasks can you earn more Many of us have skepticism and resistance towards anything new, which can lead us to miss out on great opportunities. Just like when I joined, I considered it for a month. My aunt invited me to join. She had been doing this job for two years and was making over a million dollars a year before joining. She had plenty of opportunities around her, yet she still chose to enter this industry. This strengthened my belief that it wasn’t a spur-of-the-moment decision, but rather a thoughtful one. I never questioned her judgment, and I was determined to follow the same path. Since you joined, it shows that we share the same ideals and aspirations. This is not a coincidence, but a resonance. Just like our encounter among 8 billion people, it’s fate. In fact, when you understand this job, you’ll realize that making money isn’t just a matter of time, because in today’s society, time itself cannot change the status quo In the beginning, I had a lot of worries, fearing that I wouldn't achieve results and that no one would understand if I spoke up. But gradually, I found that my income became more stable, and most importantly, my mindset became more positive. Although everything is progressing step by step and there’s occasional pressure, as long as I keep persevering and have a clear plan, each step feels more solid than the last Congratulations, dear. This is a good start. The biggest amount I won was $50,000. But I know that a user in the UK who lives in Hawaii won $270,000 two months ago. A month ago, I also knew that a user in Los Angeles won $170,000. I also hope that we will all have good luck in the future to get huge bonuses. The main income of this job comes from commissions and bonuses, not basic salary So when our VIP level is upgraded, the number of tasks will increase, which will greatly increase the probability of winning. And the commission for ordinary tasks will also increase If your account shows insufficient balance, it is likely because you encountered a combined task. If the funds in your account are insufficient to cover the combined task's value, a price difference will occur, resulting in negative funds. For example: If your account's starting balance is 100 USD, but the total value of the combined task, which is made up of 1 to 3 product orders, is 500 USD, the 100 USD will not be enough to cover the task's funds, leading to a negative balance Because it is an international company with users from around the world, using Bitcoin to settle commissions allows users to exchange it for their local currency at the most stable exchange rate and deposit it into our bank account in the shortest time As long as your funds correspond to your account's VIP level, you can contact customer service to upgrade. For example, upgrading to VIP2 requires an account balance of at least $500. VIP2 can earn approximately $300 per day. VIP4, on the other hand, requires $5000, but can earn at least $2000 per day. This is because upgrading VIP level increases commission rates. For instance, VIP2 earns 1% commission on each regular task submission, while VIP1 earns 0.5%. For combo tasks, VIP2 earns 10% commission on each submission, while VIP1 only earns 5%. The higher the account balance, the higher the earnings after completing tasks. For example, VIP4 earns 2.0% commission on each submission, and 20% commission on combo tasks. This difference significantly impacts earnings. The reward balance in your account cannot be directly withdrawn or transferred at the moment. You need to complete this recharge and submission according to the platform's process first. Only after that can your reward amount be withdrawn or transferred to other accounts. You need to pay the additional $9,900 now, and once everything is approved, you can withdraw all your rewards THIS IS WHEN I STOPPED

Counterfeit Product - Counterfeit Product

On January 25, 2026, I made a clothing apparel purchase from Mardi Gras World https://www.mardigrasworlds.com by Pay Pal in the amount of $312.01. On February 3, I emailed customer support to confirm the shipping address for the order and projected date of delivery (coming from Ireland). On February 13, I emailed customer support informing that I was leaving for New Orleans and that the shipment hadn't arrived. Therefore, requesting to please cancel order and provide a full refund. On February 14, I emailed customer support informing that I am in New Orleans now for Mardi Gras and am no longer in need of these items and requesting to please issue refund. As stated in the website return policy, I had contacted Mardi Gras World well within 45 days from receiving my order. On March 5 this is the response: "Thanks for your reply. If you would like to return, the shipping fee may be very expensive to you. So how about we refund you 26USD as compensation and you keep the products?

Online Purchase

Tried to make a Christmas present purchase. Company took the money and item was never received. Tried to order a second time, company took my money, again, order was never received. First time in mid-December, second one just after Christmas. On a side note, I used one credit card for the first purchase and noticed fraud on my card other than the company so I reported it and my card got canceled. The second time I ordered the Christmas present from this same company... Still never receiving the item, the second credit card was also hacked and they had used the number for several Uber rides in New York City totaling about $150. Reported that as fraud as well so I had to get a new credit card on that one too. Figured it was a reputable company and didn't put it together for a bit but it was the same company stealing my information from both cards.

I was mailed a letter from Forever Home USA informing me to contact them due to my home warranty expiring. The letter had a home protection identification card attached with my name, customer id, effective date, expiration date, property address, coverage description and an agent’s name, company and phone number. I gave them a call and a guy named Shane answered the phone and started talking really fast about continuing my warranty with them and needing my credit card or debit card information in order to keep my senior discount. I was also told that I had to give them my credit card or debit card information on that call or I will lose my senior discount. The guy proceeded to tell me my home address and he even knew the date I purchased my home. He even gave me an extension to call him back on, 1411. Luckily I didn’t give him my card information. He then told me that he had other customers waiting on the other line and he had to answer their calls. I told him he wasn’t getting my card information and he hung up. Beware!!

I ordered three cozzies (heated oversized hoodies/snuggies) from the website mycozzies.com through a Facebook link. UPS provided a tracking number that showed the package should have been delivered 12-12-25. Today is 3-17-26 and nothing ever arrived. UPS updated this package delivery as delivered through a non-standard method: "commercial inside release" but could not provide a photo for proof of delivery. When I tried to file a claim with UPS it was denied because it was outside of their 60-day window. Ridiculous! This is a scam.

I went on priceline hoping for cheaper tickets back home. Priceline showed Tarifasodeal as having cheap tickets at 253.00 a ticket. "Sharon" called me from the booking agency, Tarifasodeal stating they could only confirm my ticket and not the 2nd ticket as it was on a "waiting list" from Morelia, Michoacan to Dallas (1st stop). She then advised they would charge me a total of $1500 in order for both tickets in main cabin. I explained, per the "Booking Policy" on their website Tarifasodeal would not charge me for the total of $507.xx for two tickets until they were confirmed with airline. After advising what their website showed, she was adamant that no refund could be done and if I did not authorize the payment only for myself (1 ticket) that they would still take out the money from my credit card. She had said it was a soft credit run, but dummy me authorized it, so I'm out $253.00. Unacceptable, please be aware and do not buy any tickets from this website. There is always an excuse to keep your money.

Other - Mayberry

Mayberry says that they are based out of North Carolina but that is not the case. They are out of China and you will be charged international fees. I ordered a dress and before I knew it a 2ndone was ordered and I was charged. After I realized that I tried calling them to no avail and then emailed them 4 times before the dresses were shipped to get a refund. After several days they got back to me and said they would refund me for one. I was not refunded the international fees. After several weeks I received the order and the dress is sized unproportionally…the dress is huge everywhere but the chest area. It says that refunds within 30 days. I sent a message for a refund telling them that the dress was made unproportionally. I received a message back as follows. To properly investigate this and escalate your case to our production team, may I kindly ask if you could send us a few photos of the item with a tape measure? To ensure accuracy, please: • Lay the dress flat on a surface • Make sure the tape measure starts at 0 Please include photos showing: • Bust (measured armpit to armpit) • Waist • Length (from top to bottom) This will allow us to verify whether there is a size discrepancy and take the appropriate next steps, including formally flagging this with our production team for review. Apparently I have to do this in order to get a refund. I will not do this and this is not what their advertisement says…says refund within 30 days. The entire process has been a sacam and people should not order from this company!!
