Received an email from someone claiming to be the BBB.  Gave case id# 97545274486 and the email address was:  [email protected]

- Spring Valley, CA, USA

The person called and said they were from the Unclaimed Dept of Better Business Bureaus. you had won money, but they needed $495 dollars to send it to me. They told me they had sent me two letters telling me about this. I never received anything.

I hung up the phone.

- New Prague, MN, USA

I Got an email with a case number. I did not click the link though just wanted to pass it along

They sent me a text about a vinyl wrap opportunity for my Lyft vehicle. They sent me another text shortly there after with a lot of personal information, including my address and number, and the name of my credit Union.

Adverisement for user to make monies advertising driving their vehicle. (Dr. Pepper)

I received this email today through our business. I did not click on any links. It is suspicious because we are a towing and automotive company and are listed as Bowling Green, Ohio. I have no idea why we would be getting a message from a BBB consumer sent from Korea.

Scammer acquired my full name, street address, city, state, zip, email and phone number.

They attempted to collect credit card information as well (full name, credit card number, expiration date, security code, billing zip code).

Text message received from 616-329-6410:

"Due to an error in your address the parcel is on hold at the processing centre, please update it promptly by clicking: https://bit.ly/3DLkEgm"

The imposter used what appeared to be a legitimate USPS website (redirect URL: 2us-callusps.space); however, links to FAQs or additional sections of the site were disabled/inoperable.

They even included a bogus tracking number: US9214551183212 (which is not a USPS tracking number).

This is the text received: I’m not sure if I responded that they wouldn’t have asked for money to get money

I'm Mr. Manuel Franco, the Powerball victor of $768 Million in Powerball Millions Major stake, click here to see my victorious gathering https://bit.ly/3SsjkEk

I'm providing for 200 sporadic individuals. If you get this message, your number was picked after a curve ball. I have spread a huge part of my overflow over different establishments and affiliations. I have tenaciously decided to give how much $50,000 USD to you as one of the picked 200, to check your prizes make an impression on the expert in charge. Here is the amount of the expert Erick Harrison in charge (409) 234-7090), text him for certification and movement of your winning.NOTE:FOLLOW All of HIS Rules SO YOU CAN GET YOUR Victorious IN THE Accompanying 24 HOURS. (409) 234-7090)

I received a text from powerball winner Manuel Franco. He was donating to 500 people $100,000 each. Before continuing I did a search on all the info given. Original number does not exist. A name if given but no such person exist Vielmad. There was also another number given

which is also a fraud. Do not do anything with Manuel Franco offering free money. ITS A SCAM

I got swindled by a romantic and lost $8,000 in crypto currency to a fake tether investment playtform,I reported to the police here in Deutchland but nothing was done.
Decided to try my hands on a private crypto tracking company although I had my doubts but I'm happy I didn't give into them.
I just got a text in my email from them that they've been able to track and get back my money.
I can now give my full nod on the legitimacy of this company.
I got in contact with them on their complaint link on mailxto.com/crw9ys where i Made my report.
Email : rmcltd @ protonmail. com

Report entered on behalf of victim by BBB Employee: Victim received a call from 520-345-5848 impersonating the Better Business Bureau and that the victim requested an online form. The victim did not request an online form and was told to contact Robert or Richard. This phone number does not belong to the BBB.

"CITIZENS: A Bill Payment of $40 to ***** ****** has been confirmed. If you do not recognize this transaction please visit (website)"

They wanted my personal information

Got a call from someone named Matsui Izumi from Wailuku, HI with no number showing on caller ID, saying that he's from the BBB and can help me with debt consolidation if I give him my credit/debit card numbers. He had my full name, address, DOB, and last 4 SSN. I verified with BBB that they don't cold call anyone and they don't offer debt consolidation services.

I did not click on the link embedded within the email. I figured it was a scam so I called the BBB Office in Anchorage and the receptionist told me it was indeed a scam because of the email address from which it was sent. The Case Number is where the link is provided. It doesn't show up in this email I am sending to the Scam Tracker as the Case Number is highlighted in blue as the link. I was not scammed but I am reporting this illegal activity to BBB.
