Phishing - American Give Away Network
<p>Frank Rogers called me and stated that I won 975,000 from the American Give Away Network. Said they sent me 3 letter this year, which I have not received. So they called me to make me aware. I would needed to pay 9,750 for taxes and insurance, but I would get that money back. Frank told me I needed to call the attorney Robert Doyle. Claim number they gave me was 30540-DC.</p>

Phishing
Shortly after I failed to be able to get on my Coinbase account, I received a call from an individual claiming to be with Coinbase, claiming a fraudulent attempt to access my account was made and gave me a case #. For validation provided my full name, address and a number of other personal information. They tried to help me get back on to my account without success. From this point on, every time I attempted to get on to my accounts, I got another call from this number trying to help me access my account. Occasionally I was able to gain access but it was always short lived. But he seemed to gather more information with each call. After one failed attempt I called the number listed on Coinbase account and was told they do Not contact customers. So, I informed them of my experience and provided them with the number that had been calling me.
A few days later my account was hacked and they sold my Bitcoin, but Coinbase prevented my funds from being released. Over the next few weeks, I had Coinbase help me setup a 2-factor account code. I was then able to sign on easily, no more hacking attempts (I was made aware of) and no more calls from someone claiming to be Coinbase.
The end of September while visiting a location without cell service, my account was again hacked. But this time they sold all of my crypto and transferred all my funds out of my account.
After weeks of fighting with Coinbase, they told they did an internal investigation of my account (without any of my input) and said I was responsible for the security of my account and that this matter was settled and the investigation permanently closed. And I was out all my money.
I have have contacted a number of city, State and Federal consumer protection agencies. They have requested details of the transactions but Coinbase refuses to release any. I can only get through to an AI assistants who send you to another AI never allowing you to speak with a live representative.

I was approached thru email by Harvey Wells from 115 Trading Co with a job opportunity for a Remote Data Entry Analyst. He stated that he saw my Resume on CalJobs.org (which i had just registered my profile on). I expressed my interest, he sent me the job description, I asked how do i apply and he sent me an assessment questionnaire. I completed the questionnaire and a day later I received an Offer Letter from the company. It came with instructions to fill out a complete Onboarding application, including a W-4. The instructions mentioned that there would be a mandatory 7-day paid training to complete. I complied with this because everything seemed legit for a Remote Data Entry job. All communications were done either thru email or Microsoft Teams. Once training began i started asking questions. On the 3rd day of training i asked Harvey if he was a real person or AI, he replied "Of Coarse Im a real person" I then asked "Is 115 Trading Company a real company and how many employees does it have?" At that point Harvey went dark. He closed his Teams Chat and i have never heard from him again.
Since this happened i have been experiencing random account hacking, like someone placing orders on my Walmart and Amazon accounts, plus some trying to Zelle $$ from my accounts. I have taken the necessary precautions to prevent this, but still live in fear that some how this will haunt me. Plus i still don't have a job!!

This scam focused on convincing me i had a job. For the first four days it was straightforward. I logged on, “worked” for about 1 hour and ended the day. In order to log on i had to deposit $100 into the Cash App, convert out to bitcoin and deposit the Bitcoin into their system online. Then i performed some link clicking. After i finished all the clicking they scheduled for me i would convert the Bitcoin back to dollars and withdraw my original deposit plus my earnings. The fifth day they deposited $1000 into my account on their server and used it to move me to a higher bracket for working. Very quickly that $1000 was gone and i owed them $1400 over and above the 1000. I told them i quit, in writing. They kept threatening me with collections to get the money i “owed” them. I reiterated that i live on social security and they would never receive that money. The next time i opened telegram, the app they use for communications, all of the interactions with them had disappeared.

Phishing - American Amicable life insurance IMPOSTER
I received an unsolicited telephone call from someone claiming to represent American Amicable Life Insurance.
The caller stated that I had a life insurance policy dating back to 2019, with a monthly premium of approximately $130 and an accumulated cash value of approximately $22,000. They claimed the policy needed to be reinstated by January before I could access the money.
I have no recollection of purchasing this policy, and neither my wife nor I have ever paid premiums to this company.
The caller also stated that my former wife was listed as the beneficiary. I was already married to my current wife in 2019 and would not have knowingly designated my former wife as beneficiary. When I questioned this, the caller appeared puzzled and said that was what their records showed. I gave them my current wife’s name and requested that she be listed instead.
The caller then requested my Social Security number, claiming they needed it to investigate the policy. I became suspicious and refused to provide it. I asked them to send the policy information by email instead.
I subsequently received text messages from 833-258-7724, stating that an email had been sent to verify an agent named Leah Basaria, Agent ID #2640032. Additional texts claimed that a “Benefits Coordinator” had emailed application instructions. No such email had appeared in my inbox when I checked.
I did not provide my Social Security number, banking information, or payment information, and I did not send any money. The only additional personal information I provided was my current wife’s name.
I subsequently learned of another BBB Scam Tracker report involving the same texting number, 833-258-7724, with a similar story about a lapsed insurance policy, accumulated cash value, a request for a Social Security number, and text messages about application instructions.
I am reporting this as a suspected insurance impersonation and phishing attempt. I have independently verified that no insurance policy exists.

2 months ago, I ordered work pants and jeans from this company after hearing and seeing "verified" reviews, when I purchased the items, it was Sept 17th, 2026, they were promised to arrive within 10-15 business days, so I awaited a tracking number when I received one I anticipated my package delivery only for it to "arrive" 30 days later on Oct 28th, 2026, now I say "arrive" because the tracking information says delivered but I was home and had a clear view of my mailbox from my homes front window, there was no delivery made. It was a lie; I contacted the company through the email provided and received a rather frustrating response. "Check the mail room and check with your neighbors in case they have it." I responded by telling them i live in a house there is no mailroom and my neighbors do not have my package, because it was never delivered. they appeared to be "working with me" to resolve the issue on their end and offered to reship the missing items but it would take 10-15 business days, me being in a peaceful mood agreed and confirmed the correct address they updated the shipment and later I was sent a new tracking number but alas 12 business days later is now Nov 10th, 2026 and I again was home at the time of the alleged delivery but this time the shipping company had an inaccurate time stamp and that's when I realized it was fraudulent I demanded my money back and they replied by saying the same stupid response as before "check your mail room, check with your neighbors" so I finally told them I want my $52 back and I'm done having my time wasted they replied once more with a statement of apology and saying " We've filed a claim, but they refused full compensation as the system showed it as delivered. However, we've persistently pushed for a higher compensation percentage and secured you a 70% refund. " And then I replied once more that I was charged a shipping insurance fee, but my purchased items are not within my possession, so I want ALL of my money back not a percentage. It's been 16 hrs. since my last reply to them and I've heard no response.

Booked a room at Even Hotel by IHG in Brooklyn New York back in July as prestigia was recommended as a booking option when I searched for hotels in the area it's now November and I am traveling to New york tomorrow (thursday) and was talking about my trip with a friend this previous Saturday and mentioned I had booked through prestigia and they said they had searched it up and found that a lot of people ended up going to the hotel and found out that there was actually no reservation in their name at the hotel so I called Even Hotel right away to try and confirm my reservation was actually real and lo and behold Even Hotel says they have no record of my reservation either with the confirmation number I was provided or with my name. So I tried calling Prestigia and was met with a AI bot that said they are closed but will open a ticket for me and I got an email response:
We would like to reassure you that your reservation is confirmed and secured as per the booking terms and conditions.
Nevertheless, we will coordinate directly with the hotel to verify the reservation details and ensure everything is in order.
That was Saturday at 5 PM Pacific Time I responded back on Sunday in the morning and asked for a time frame as my travel was coming up very soon and if there actually was no room booked I needed some advance notice to secure other accommodations I was told this: Please note that the reservation team is operating with limited availability over the weekend, which may cause a delay in receiving their confirmation. We have already emailed them requesting urgent verification of your reservation.
So I said okay I understand I'll wait since it was the weekend then Monday came and no update came so I tried emailing asking for an update and received no response so I tried waiting until Tuesday early morning to try and call into their call center as their hours of operation are from Midnight PST to 8 AM (which is a ridiculous time for them to make a US based customer call in by the way!) and I was met with a 30 min wait and then was told that all representatives are busy and the automated AI said it would create a high priority ticket for me so I said okay I'll give them the benefit of the doubt and wait until tomorrow then finally this morning (wednesday) at 3:37 AM I got an email from a

Dear Seyed,
We understand your concerns and the urgency of receiving confirmation, especially as your check-in date is approaching.
As we are delighted to share with you your hotel confirmation number, you can use this confirmation number to locate your reservation in the hotel’s system.
Hotel Confirmation Code: 85663502.
So I immediately called Even Hotel back as soon as I woke up this morning and guess what? They say this confirmation code is not valid and they have no record of my name in their system ANYWHERE I tried calling a few times to see if maybe the first rep I spoke with just was making a mistake and I spoke with a nice lady at Even that let me know that MANY people had been calling with the same problem with Presitiga and they are a KNOWN SCAM!
Of course this is ridiculous. I'm travelling tomorrow and now there's no rooms available at the hotel anymore so I can't even book it directly and other hotels nearby are almost 1000$ a night! If I had known it would've been like this I would've just booked directly with the hotel I would've paid whatever $300 more but at least I would've actually had a room and not having to spend $4k+ on a room for the next 4 days!
