Received a notice in the mail, with a return envelope, from the US Business Regulation Department. It was a form 4022 requesting Owners information and business EIN. Payment of $117 claimed due or penalties for not submitting. Formed looked very official with no spelling mistakes.

We are being overwhelmed with robocalls on our landline from an outfit called “U.S. Funeral Expenses Company” despite the fact that our landline number has been on the Do Not Call list since September of 2003! We have blocked hundreds of calls from this outfit but they keep calling again using some other number. Many times the company uses fake caller IDs to make it appear that some other business is calling.

Back in Dec 2023 I had called an HVAC repair outfit to fix my furnace that was not working properly. Due to my age, I do not remember who this person or outfit is any longer. And my reason for providing my experience is to inform others from this happening to them. What transpired was the replacement and installation of a "Tempstar" furnace unit valued at only 600.00, and was still charged 4500 for the complete job. Needless to say, the furnace stopped working 3 months later, with new severe problems being observed. Upon this individual's installation of the furnace, instead of the furnace's exhaust discharge being routed outside of the furnace, it was installed "inside" of the unit where carbon monoxide was being blown directly back into the house with the heat. Fortunately, no one was hurt from this obvious faulty installation, and I have no one to blame but myself. But with that said, hopefully there will be someone out there that knows who this is so further information can be supplied to keep this from happening to someone else. There is also picture evidence that can be provided as well.

She posted on social media about a service she was offering. The friend sent money for service and Jade accepted the money but did not provide service. She claimed there was a family emergency so when the lady asked for refund as it was for Easter for her son, Jade Mayo ignored all messages and has not sent money back.

The business Vintage Subscriptions claiming they were The New Yorker billed us for several months every 2 weeks for $139.99. We are elderly, my husband suffers from dementia. When I look over the accounts I saw these abnormal bills. I contacted the credit card CITI. Initially the person on the phone was understanding . He went further back in the account that I was able to do on line and said they would reimburse us for $ 1 800. We received a letter from their Security Dept saying that because we originally gave our credit card number ( believing it was for the New Yorker magazine) we had no claim.

When I contacted Vintage subscriptions they said the bill was for the New Yorker. They reimbursed us for one $139.

The bills stopped when my husband cancelled that credit card for a different reason.: After playing a game on line he was asked to pay a couple a dollars he gave his card number then realizing it was a mistake he cancelled the card.

I believe the Phone number for Vintage Subscriptions is 1 888 827 0791.

 n she found me on FB and then we did all communications thru messenger. She convinced me on how to make money with crypto, told her I didnt understand it. She said she would walk me thru each step, so I fell for it. I connected my bank account to Coinbase and then to EXPERTCOINPRO. She told me that I would placed dollar amt into Coinbase and buy th bitcoin, then move what I purchased to EXPERTCOINPRO, and they would manage the investment part. After 30 days, it showed the deposit and then the interest made. When I got ready for the last step to withdrawal with Expertcoinpro, she ghosted me on messenger. I reached out to expertcoinpro, asking why it was taking so long for my withdrawal, the help desk stated sat and weds for withdrawals. It was 2 wks later, received 3 emails from expertcoinpro, with the response: HI, your request to withdraw USD 10,000 been rejected. Please contact support for further info. In the past, when I made a deposit, the e mail from them would start out with, Hi, (my name), we have received your deposit of xyzx.

Very expensive lesson learned :(

Told my wife she needed a safety inspection, performed said inspection, when it was not required.

Then failed inspection, due to a belt,that did not even need replaced

Then wanted to charge approximately. 250 for a repair that was 100% unnecessary. I feel like they were taking advantage of a woman.

I was on social media one day seen the advertisements for this website that you can get closed for a $1.99 you just had to pay the shipping and handling fee so I did that and they charged my card and I never received the product and it's been well over 7 to 10 business days since I placed the order and then I was looking online about the company to find a customer service phone number to call them and ask them what is going on with my order and I pulled up all these reviews saying that this company was a scam they just steal your money and you don't get your products and that they need to be reported to the better Business bureau.

The absurd attempt was sent to my work account (and spoofed the sender to make it appear to come from my work email). It said the following -

"Hello,

You are in big trouble.

However, don't panic right away. Listen to me first, because there is always a way out.

You are now on the radar of an international group of hackers, and such things never end well for anyone.

I'm sure you've heard of Anonymous. Well, compared to us, they are a bunch of schoolboys.

We are a worldwide network of several thousand professionals, each with their own role.

Someone hacks corporate and government networks, someone cooperates with intelligence agencies on the most delicate tasks, and someone (including me) deals with people like you to maintain the infrastructure of our group.

"What kind of people like me?" - that is the question you are probably asking yourself now.

The answer is simple: people who like to watch highly controversial and, shall we say, unconventional p*rnography on the internet that most normal people would consider perverted.

But not you!

In order to leave you without any doubts, I'll explain how I found it out.

Two months ago, my colleagues and I installed spyware software on your computer and then gained access to all of your devices, including your phone.

It was easy - one of those many pop-ups on p*rn sites was our work.

I think you already understand that we would not write to an ordinary man who watches "vanilla" and even hardcore p*rn - there is nothing special about that.

But the things you're watching are beyond good and evil.

So after accessing your phone and computer cameras, we recorded you m[********]ing to extremely controversial videos.

There is a close-up footage of you and a little square on the right with the videos [************].

However, as I said earlier, there is always a way out, because even the most degraded sinner deserves leniency.

You are lucky today because I am not a sadist who enjoys other people's suffering.

Only money matters to me.

Here is your salvation: you must transfer $1490 in Bitcoin to this BTC cryptocurrency wallet: 13RuNi9xhDN5ngYy251h4WFDYoE3VA4kPJ

You have exactly 48 hours to make the payment, so think less, and do more.

As soon as I receive confirmation of the transaction, I will delete all compromising content and permanently disable our computer worm.

Believe me, I always abide by gentleman's agreements. Even with people who are hardly gentlemen. Because it's nothing personal, just business.

If I do not receive a payment, I will send all videos of you to every person in your contact list, messengers and email.

Relatives, loved ones, colleagues, friends-everyone you've ever been in contact with will receive them.

You understand perfectly well that you will never be able to wash this stain on your reputation.

Everyone will remember you as sick as ****.

Your life will be completely ruined, and, most likely, only a tightened ***** around your neck will be able to save the day.

If you haven't dealt with crypto before, I suppose it won't be difficult for you to figure it all out.

Simply type in the "crypto exchange" into the search bar and pay with a credit card. Besides, based on your browser history, you are a savvy user.

When you want to, you can dig into the darkest depths of the Internet, so I'm sure you will be able to find out what is what.

Here is what my colleagues and I should warn you against:

...Do not reply to this email. Do you really think we are so stupid to be tracked by an email address? This is a temporary disposable email.

As soon as I clicked "Send", it was gone for good.

...Forget about law-enforcement authorities. As soon as I see that you are trying to contact them, the compromising material will be published.

Remember, I have access to all your devices, and I can even track your movements.

...Do not reset your devices to factory settings and do not try to get rid of your devices.

It won't help in any way. Look above - my All-seeing eye is watching all your actions. It is easy to hunt you down.

I am sorry that we met in such circumstances. Probably, everything could be different if you had been more careful about what you are doing on the Internet.

Watch yourself from now on, because even such things that you previously considered insignificant can destroy your life in the future like a butterfly effect.

I hope this is goodbye forever. However, it depends on you.

P.S. The countdown is on. The choice is yours."

I put a used item up for sale on Facebook Marketplace. This person named Diana Robinson showed interest in buying the item. They asked for my phone number and asked to send her back the 6-digit number for her safety to make sure I'm a real person. I sent a screenshot of the 6-digit number back to her, and soon felt fishy and stopped the conversation. The messages from her says there was a verification problem, and demands a different phone number. So seems like I'm talking to a bot who's unable to read an image perhaps. Still, I am feeling worried.
