Government Agency Imposter - Passport Visa Rush

I was attempting to renew my expired US passport. This website is the first one that comes up via a Google search and, upon first glance, appears to be an official site for applying for passport renewal. I provided all the information required for the passport renewal application, including my social security number and my expired passport number. The site also required the names, birthdates, and birth locations of my parents as well as my spouse. This seemed odd for a passport renewal and I should have known then something was wrong. I didn't realize until three days later, while preparing for my passport photo, that the fees I paid were not the regular passport renewal fees, but were a separate charge solely for this company. ($99 to collect my personal information and pop it into a form??) I contacted them, asking for my account to be closed and whether a refund was possible. I received a curt and error-ridden email in reply, that ended with a promise to fight back if I chose to dispute the charge with my credit card company. I had said nothing about disputing the charges; I'd simply asked if a refund was possible. The response also argued that their website clearly states this is a private service not affiliated with the US government. It does--in fine print that easy to miss. The whole set-up is confusing and clearly designed to take advantage of people needing to renew their passports. I'm concerned that the personal information I stupidly gave to this company will result in identity theft. At best, this company has rotten customer service. At worse, it's a set-up to scam money and personal information from people.

Online Purchase - Wiggle Wag Labs / Pet scam

I am reporting a suspected online purchase scam involving a business operating as “Wiggle Wag Labs,” which advertises Labrador Retriever puppies for sale. I initially contacted the seller through their website and email ([email protected]) regarding a puppy named “Mac.” The seller, identifying himself as Thomas McKenna, provided detailed information about the puppy, including health guarantees, vaccination records, and delivery options. The communication appeared professional and legitimate. I was sent a formal purchase order/invoice for the puppy totaling $1,100, including a $200 shipping fee. The documentation included the seller’s name, address in Portland, Oregon, and contact information. Based on this information, I proceeded with the purchase in good faith. The seller instructed me to complete payment through a Payoneer payment link using my credit card. After submitting payment, the seller confirmed receipt and scheduled delivery of the puppy for May 7. On the scheduled delivery date, I did not receive the puppy or any shipping information. I attempted to contact the seller multiple times via email and phone. The phone number provided did not connect, and all communication from the seller ceased entirely after payment was made. No tracking information, delivery confirmation, or proof of shipment was ever provided. The puppy was never delivered. After the incident, I discovered that other individuals have reported identical experiences involving the same business name, contact information, and pattern of behavior—accepting payment for puppies and then disappearing without delivering the animal. This appears to be a fraudulent operation using a professional-looking website, purchase documentation, and payment processing links to deceive buyers into sending money for pets that do not exist. I am submitting this report to document the scam, help prevent others from being victimized, and support ongoing efforts to hold the responsible parties accountable.

I am reporting a suspected employment scam involving individuals posing as representatives of Conrad Energy and offering a remote data entry position. I was contacted regarding a remote job opportunity and was sent instructions that raised multiple fraud concerns. During the process, I was emailed a check and instructed to print it and deposit it through mobile banking. The check appeared suspicious because the issuing business name did not match the company that claimed to hire me. After contacting my bank, I was informed that the check was fraudulent and that the situation matched a known scam pattern involving fake employment offers and counterfeit checks. The individuals involved used the following email addresses during communication: * [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) * [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) * [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) * [[email protected]](mailto:[email protected]) The company name used was Conrad Energy, but the check information and communication details were inconsistent and suspicious. The scammers attempted to create urgency and directed me to deposit the check before further instructions. I have preserved emails, text messages, and related communication records and am submitting this report so the activity can be documented and investigated as potential fraud.

Online Purchase - Sweet Bundle of Blooms

Received and email for a Costco Survey with the promise of winning an Igloo cart. Pay the shipping if I win, which I paid. However, the amount was more than I remembered, but couldn't go back. 3 days later, a second charge appeared on my cc, also from Sweet Bundle of Blooms. I contacted my cc and they stated a fraud claim since the first charge had been finalized. Replaced card and asked me to call for a refund. I called the number on the cc statement which was answered by a third party service that explained I had entered a contract for services. I said no, they said they could cancel the contract, but I had passed the 72 hours.for a refund. Email them for a refund. They would/could not tell me what the company sold, but said I had ordered an ebook. No. I only get my ebooks from amazon and mostly from the library. The support email they gave me was [email protected] No such email seems to exist. My c c company is refunding me since I placed a fraud claim (with their support) and the card number used is closed. This is definitely a scam. I will also notify Costco that they are using a very official looking survey to get this started. Hopefully to help others avoid this.

Employment - Advance Fee Job Training Scam

I was contacted via message about a front desk position. The interview was held at 767 Lexington Ave in room 603. They told me description of the job & that I would need to pay up front for security training. It included fire safety training as well. I also was told I need to do my fingerprints. I paid everything & waited for the 8 hour training zoom link that they told me they would send on a specific day. They stopped contacting me from that day on.

Government Agency Imposter - Patent & Trademark Resource

Regarding: Patent & Trademark Office (pto-us.com) Address on solicitation: 19125 North Creek Parkway, Suite 120, Bothell, WA 98011 I am writing to file a formal complaint regarding a company operating under the name “Patent & Trademark Office” that sent our company a misleading trademark renewal solicitation. Our company is the owner of a federally registered U.S. trademark. In April 2025, we properly filed and received official confirmation from the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO) that our Section 8 Declaration of Use and Section 15 Declaration of Incontestability were accepted. Our trademark is fully active and in good standing. Despite this, we later received a document titled “Pending Trademark Cancellation / Trademark Renewal Offer” demanding $1,800 to “renew” the trademark. The document: Closely mimics official USPTO formatting and language Uses the name “Patent & Trademark Office,” which is confusingly similar to the United States Patent and Trademark Office Creates a false sense of urgency by stating the trademark is “about to expire” Only discloses in fine print that the sender is a private company not affiliated with any government agency

Government Agency Imposter - Next Step Filings

Scammer sends a US Mail indicating an annual registration is required by WA state. This is false as only an annual report is required. The notice looks official and only contains a very small disclaimer indicating it's not a government agency. It is clearly an attempt to defraud businesses into making a mistake and paying this service instead.
