Phishing - RTC Voicemails

Voicemails I’m getting again and also some family members are getting there using my current name. Also my married name I have not used in two decades once in a while they will call and ask for Lisa Rogers, the owner of the cell phone of many years ago. I will attach the voicemail in which it goes straight to. It does not ring. I have a spam blocker. They called 2 times this week from 2 different numbers. I believe this has been going on for about a year now. And I just put in a complaint with the federal government.

Online Purchase - Selene Pets

I placed an order for a one-time purchase of dog bowl and filters via an ad I saw on Instagram, and as I went through the checkout process, I was unnerved by the number of upsell popups that occurred. Then when I placed my order, I was even more uncomfortable when I didn’t receive a confirmation email. I immediately emailed them many times over the next few days to request a cancellation and full refund, but they disregarded my email until after the items supposedly shipped, and that was the only time they replied to say that since they shipped, they couldn’t refund or cancel. I also never received any items despite the shipment claim. Then last night, less than a month later, they charged me again for a recurring order that I never placed. I immediately emailed them to request a cancellation and refund and to remove the recurrence that I never signed up for, and they replied by disregarding my request and instead offering that next month’s recurrence will be free. I have had to cancel my credit card because of this recurring abuse by this company, and this caused extraordinary amounts of mitigative work for me. This company is fraudulent: Selene Pets.

Fake Invoice/Supplier Bill - Relay Wire / Web Envy / Med Pulse Fake Invoice Phishing and Identity Theft Scam

On October 23, 2026, our business, Seniors Helping Seniors® Tri-Cities, a licensed non-medical in-home care agency located in Kingsport, Tennessee, received an unsolicited fax containing an invoice from a company identifying itself as Med Pulse. The invoice, #MP531448, dated October 16, 2026, demanded payment of $479.85 for services described as Secure Fax Routing & Encryption ($219.95), Fax Number Spoofing Prevention ($149.95), and Delivery Confirmation & Audit Log ($109.95). Our business has NEVER conducted business with Med Pulse, requested or authorized these services, or entered into any contractual agreement with this company. We have no existing relationship with Med Pulse whatsoever. After researching the company, I discovered that other businesses have reported receiving nearly identical unsolicited invoices, including the exact same $479.85 charge and identical service descriptions. One such report appears in BBB Scam Tracker under Report #1426793. This appears to be a coordinated fake-invoice scam targeting businesses, particularly those in healthcare-related industries where fax services are commonly used. The invoices are formatted to resemble legitimate bills, potentially misleading administrative or accounting personnel into paying for services that were never ordered. The invoice identifies Med Pulse as being located at 9535 Forest Lane, Suite 114J, Dallas, TX 75243, and lists med-pulse.net as its website. We recognized the invoice as suspicious and did not make any payment. Our financial loss was $0.00. I am reporting this incident to warn other businesses about this apparent fraudulent billing scheme and to help document the pattern of unsolicited invoices being distributed. Businesses receiving invoices from Med Pulse should carefully verify whether they have any legitimate contractual relationship with this company before making payment. I have also reported this incident to the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) and the Tennessee Attorney General's Division of Consumer Affairs.

Phishing - Golden Protection Group

I have been receiving repeated mail from Golden Protection Group for several months regarding a vehicle service contract for a 2026 Cadillac CT5 Sport. They have sent me similar letters at least once a month for three consecutive months, followed by a break of approximately two months, and have now started sending me mail again with a different-looking notice. The letters urge me to contact them to activate vehicle service coverage and warn that I may lose eligibility if I do not respond by their stated deadline. However, I do not own a Cadillac. I have never responded to these letters, contacted this company, or requested information about their services. Despite this, they continue to send me unsolicited mail. I am concerned that these letters may be misleading because they appear to imply that I have an existing vehicle service contract or need to take action to obtain coverage for a vehicle I do not own. I would like to report these repeated, unsolicited mailings and request that the company's practices be investigated. I would also like to know how to prevent further mail from this company.

it was supposed to be a job from LinkedIn, thats where they found me. i had 60 tasks to finish. you get 20 tasks at a time and have to request the next set through customer service until the 60 is done when you first start it goes up the more you do. you can get bundles, which i did not know they are higher commissioned you have to be able to cover if they come to you. i only started with $50 so they should have been really low. you cannot cash out until you finish the end of the 20 tasks, cash out start the next one. it did not let me do that because my last task was a bundle over $11,000, it took what i had already made which was over $3,400 and now they say in order to get the rest of my money i have to pay them $7,931 to get my pay. i cannot afford that and cannot speak to anyone accept a computer generated customer service bot. no help at all. they do not give you any numbers to talk to people at all.

Online Purchase - Top Table

I ordered a package off of their website, with them specifically stating that they provide authentic trading cards. I ordered on the 21st of September. I emailed them on the 26th as they only printed a shipping label, and nothing was shipped. (the label number is 9400150106151402435441 through USPS and as you would see its still just a label). They responded with an automated message stating that it would be shipped the following Tuesday. I waited again and emailed them on October 6th, and got the same exact message back. I messaged again on the 10, and they responded that I have to track the package on the website, which just links back to the USPS shipping label. I even emailed them proof that I was following their instructions and still nothing was happening with my shipment. I have reason to believe that they will not ship any item to me, and if they do it wouldn't be anything like what I ordered. I have also come across other people who have purchased from them, and few received their shipment, and those who did didn't get what they ordered at all.

Employment - AO Globe Life

I got a call from a woman saying that she is with AO Globe Life and they came across my profile on LinkedIn or Indeed (I think she literally said that, and they were interested in discussing the Account Manager role with me. I never applied to this. She said it was 100% remote and flexible schedule. The role is meeting clients on Zoom and explaining the benefits being offered to unions and veterans. She said it's base pay and commissions, and training is provided. She said I would have to get certified in insurance and it costs $400 but they would cover some so I only have to pay $220, and that once I'm certified/licensed then I own that, like a university degree, even if I don't work for them anymore after that. She read me some lines from my resume and asked me questions, and she verified my email address. Then she sent me an email with a link and asked me to schedule my Zoom interview right now, and then she would confirm the info and push it through to the hiring manager. I told her I can't do that right now, and I can do it later. She asked me what time tomorrow can she call me so we can finish and confirm everything, and I told her I can call her tomorrow instead. She needed me to click the link while we were on the phone, and that didn't sit right with me. I never clicked the link, and I don't plan on calling.

Online Purchase - Clearskinfolk

My friend works at one of the Walmart locations and mentioned that most people don’t know about this. Right now, for their anniversary, they’re running a short survey on their website. If you complete it, you can get the Evenflo Pivot Modular Travel System for just $10, even though it usually costs around $330. They’re doing this to better understand their customers and improve their marketing campaigns, which is why they’re offering this model as part of the promo. I tried it myself — filled out the quick survey in a special section on their site and placed the order. Here’s the link — https://taply.link/us-Evenflo-PivotModular-TravelSystem-Walmart The box arrived just a few days later, sealed and brand new. It’s not some secret hack, so feel free to share it with friends who might need it. I just don’t know how long the offer will last. Good luck!

I received mail that looks official. It was requesting I pay $98.50 so that I can receive my Minnesota Certificate of Good Standing. The document asks me to verify information about my business.
