I received several emails from [email protected] I opened a BOA account and it was approved. I called (800) 933-6262. And the caller asked for my social security number and I refused. I did give my name and address along with the last 4 of my social security number.

I received an e-mail from "Jackie" saying that my Business Pay Pal account had been set up with authorization from my Social Security #.

Her message said that my bank account would be charged $249.99 within 48 hours and that my Pay Pal Business account could begin accepting

credit card transactions.

The scammers started with phone calls. Today my family member received a letter with Bank of America header saying a card for a small business had fraudulent usage. He has no such business or card. They are wanting a copy of photo ID and all info personal and business. Plus sent forms to fill out. My family member is smart enough to know this is a scam and he just wanted to inform you about it.

I received an email from [email protected], stating that the attached invoice is due 4/19/23 (item 40097302). when I opened the attachment it was in invoice order #62021728 and stated that the purchase was from their online store. the invoice also states that within the next 24 hours I will find $488.99 in a wallet with the name "PayPal Coinbase Inc". I have never heard of this company, have never used PayPal and I would never pay for something via online! Also on the invoice: Transaction Id-DRR5-FVGR-4RB6-5BH5. Payment Mode: Auto Debit; date=4/19/23; TOTAL AMOUNT-488.99. Says they are available M-F 8-6pm @ 1-888-845-1087. Signed by the Billing Team.

A textmessage pretending to be a bank, warning of suspicious transactions. They'll then likely tell you they have the means of correcting this breach. A link may be provided within the message.

I received a text message from that number where it said that my bank account was put on hold to verify. It came with a link that - i did not open - i just called bank of America and they told me that never send any links to their clients. That's why i am reporting the number 507 5162785 they pretended to be bank of america.

A male (no name given) called my mother saying he was from Regions Bank and that her account had been compromised and she needed to pay $500. He asked for her social security number which she gave the full number and he asked for her email which she gave. He then asked for her bank account number but thankfully she did not give it to him and when questioned why he needed that..phone call ended. She has since contacted her Regions bank and had debit and credit cards to be issued with new numbers.

Hi i have 2 different incidents that happened within a couple of days from each other the first one happened when we went on a small trip me and my husband I was scammed $300 on Saturday, February 18 through Facebook. A lady had advertised that she had some Yorky puppies for sale she at that moment tell me that if I sent $200, she would hold a puppy for me and then I could pay the other hundred when I picked her up when i got home from my trip then I got another message a few minutes later stating that she needed the other hundred because she needed to get the paperwork and the puppies shots before I came and got her. I had her address and everything come to find out , someone hacked that lady’s information on Facebook and so I had sent whoever $300…. I was talking to my children and told them what happened they told me I should call Zelle and report it that I was scammed and so I called Zelle and this phone number that I found online who i thought was Zelle was 1-888-823-1181. Come to find out I was being scammed again because that number is not the real phone number , I then spoke to a guy on there name Ryan, and which he had me download an app called AnyDeskRemote…. so I download the app and he told me to give him the access code from that so I did, and after that they had access to my bank account and everything else well, they kept sending me all these different codes supposedly from Zelle, which I caught on afterwards after they were taking all my money that they weren’t actually codes it was actually amounts of money they were taking taking from my savings and checking account, and it was through Zelle and PayPal that they had access to also they took what they wanted. They said that these codes were given to me so they could verify who I was and they were going to try to refund me the 300 that I lost on Saturday but that’s not what they were doing they were taking out money from my checking account and my savings account, at that time they said after they took what they wanted at that time they said that they would call me back the next day at 9:30am and the phone number he gave me was 669-777-9292 and he said his name was Brian and it looked like they kept telling me to hold on that they were going to give the manager a look at this to see if they could give me the $300 back that I lost from Saturday which didn’t make sense to me at that time and today which is February 21 they’ve been calling me on a different number and that number is 669-289-7499 and they plan on calling me back later this evening at 5 PM Arizona time and I think they’re just trying to get what they couldn’t get yesterday because my bank only allowed so much money to be taken from which I believe was 2000 and then the other amount was 449 from PayPal and then I lost the 300 on Saturday. I hope they get caught because I wouldn’t want this to happen to anyone else. This is just very devastating me and my husband we both work really hard for our money. I only work part time I’m a grandmother and I’m so devastated by this .

Robocall from 888-274-2957 impersonated Venmo, announcing attempt to change password on my account, asking whether it was I who made the attempt. Called repeatedly, left no message when I didn’t answer. This is a scam as the correct number for Venmo is 855-812-4430. Thanks in advance for looking into this!

Caller posing to be employee of Farmers State Bank Silver Cree NE wants to get account number because of problem. We give no information. He then called the bank posing to be my husband and the teller knew it was not his voice and continued to ask him questions. He knew address, social number but could not give name of wife. He hung up. Today we received a call again and he asked for his wife using the correct name. We hung up immediately.

Email said Pay Pal sent me an invoice for $436. Seller note said: "Your purchase was accepeted and payment was processed. There is evidence that an unauthorized party accessed your PayPal account. Your account has been charged $436. 00 for the e-wallet credit purchase. This transaction will be reflected in the automatically debited amount on your activity after 24 hours. If you feel that you did not conduct this transaction correctly, please contact us immediately at 1-888-982-1794 or reach us for assistance. Our business hours are from 6:00 a. m. to 6:00 p. m. Pacific Time. Scammers use automated systems to make transactions. Only contact PayPal through the Contact details given above to contact Customer Service."

I checked my PayPal account and there was no charge for $436. The email started with "Hello, PayPal Client". Per PayPal website, they will address you by name. Also this message was below the seller message: "Don't know this seller? You can safely ignore this invoice if you're not buying

anything from this seller. PayPal won't ask you to call or send texts to phone numbers in an invoice. We don't ask for your credentials or auto-debit money from your account against any invoices. Contact us if you're still not sure."

I forwarded the email to [email protected].

I called the number asking them to cancel the invoice and they said that they would. They did not. They asked me to download a ScreenSharing app, and then said that they were gonna send me a dollar to a certain account. They had me check my apps to see if I received it I did not then they asked me to go to the grocery store and get a gift card of some kind and that’s when I hung up. They used to scare tactic of telling me that all my information on my IP address was compromised. It was not PayPal scamming however, they allowed my information to be breached.
