Scammer's address UT, USA
Type of a scam Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes

I received a call from the same man 3 different times. He stated I had won a gift of $100,000.00 from the BBB. He said I would need to pay $95.00 in order to receive it. He then said I would have to call a number he would give me in NV so I could provide him with my financial information. I told him I knew this was a scam and to never call me again.

Total money lost $100
Type of a scam Online Purchase
Initial means of contact Not applicable

I logged on to HTTPS://BIT.LY/2Yl1JZFE because it said it was a under armour website and everything was at least 80%off so I ordered a lot on there and when it came to put banking info in it took me to this lady on pay pal to owe her $100. I've asked her multiple times to cancel my order since it was a scam and no response I've tried getting in contact with pay pal they said they can't do anything about it. I didn't want to pay for it since I read the comments and literally everyone on there tried to order stuff paid for it and never got there package. Uncalled for. The lady won't respond to me just took my money and ran. I closed my card after this happened and it still came through.

I work for an office in downtown Seattle and at 3:51PM PST, I received a call from a female from 1-800-110-4519, stating that she worked for the BBB and wanted to know if our office would be moving in the near future. She said she wanted to know this information for logistical planning purposes. When I told her we are not moving, she hung up. I tried calling back but no answer.

Type of a scam Moving

We have received repeated phone calls from various people claiming to be the ScamPulse.com. They are very pushy about asking for information about the business for their survey. The types of questions are inappropriate and would not apply to the BBB. They seem obsessed with the possibility of the company moving to a new location.

Type of a scam Phishing

I received a call from someone that claimed to be with the BBB of Texas that claims that I was due a refund for the about of 299.99 but they sent a check with 2999.99. When I went to cash the check the bank instantly declined the check as it was bad. On my way home from the bank I saw a police officer and he talked to the person that called me and the officer told the person to not call me back and the person called me back shortly afterwards. When I was opening my phone the officer noticed it was the same person and said not to answer the phone and I dropped my phone and broke it. When I got home they were calling my home and I recognized the number and did not pick up for the multiple times they attempted to call me.

This is to advise you that we, a government agency, have received several scam calls to our office from a Mr. Roland, 1-876-395-6457 (caller ID shows Kingston, Jamaica) stating the availability of a cashier’s check and wanting personal information.

This is obviously a scam. Of additional concern is that Mr. Roland identified himself as being with the ScamPulse.com of Hawaii.

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I got a call this morning from the local "BBB" here in Montana. Well, that's already fishy to me as I have never owned a business, reported one or even had any sort of interaction with them what so ever. Anyway, the caller (clearly not a native English speaker) starts his spiel. He has a check for me that I need to claim... yeah, right... so he asks me a bunch of questions. Am I married? Do I work or am I retired? Do I have transportation? Where do I work? And this guy did his best to seem legit. Even calling me back after we " got disconnected" several times. But it sounded like they were going to send me a check. The guy never said where or who it's from either. My best guess is that it's a "overpayment" scam. Where they send you a counterfeit check for a amount of way more than they originally told you and ask you to send the "overpaid" amount back. The money never turns up cause the origin account didn't exist and you are out the REAL money you send them with no way to get it back.
