Watch the link on Facebook about glucose revive. When I tried to order it, it kept adding things to it. Then when I looked at the charges, it was not what I had agreed to buy, nor was it the price I agreed to pay. There never was a breakdown of cost or the ingredients available to see. I immediately called to get it canceled and had to go round and round with them before they canceled it.

I though I was ordering off of a Lane Bryant plus size clothing site on Facebook and it was not them and some person from china instead and scammed me out of $45 to $50 worth of clothing. They acquired my personal bank account information and I can only contact them through Facebook messenger and they send me some random tracking number ( that’s what I put as their email that’s the only number I had for them)

I was locked out of my Facebook and FB Messenger accounts so I contacted this number that I found online. The man claimed to be a representative of Meta/Facebook and that my account including my Apple Cash had been hacked and he was helping me to "set a trap" to catch the culprits, but instead I was conned out of a $500 Apple card. He was trying to pursuade me to purchase more cards before my intuiton finally kicked in and I realized that, as convincing as he was, it just didn't make sense. Sadly, I still don't have access to my Facebook account and now I'm down $500. Up side: it was an expensive lesson, but it could've been worse. BEWARE!!

Scammer Apple Pay number 517-202-6082. I have filed disputes with Huntington Bank and Apple and unable to get a refund back.

I approached the company via an ad on FB promoting a Beta Tester program for plant lovers. The company was trying to promote a monthly subscription where the customer was to pay $29.95 a month for a number of tropical and exotic plants and plant accessories. At least one plant was to be received per month. The first month, I received no plants at all, only stickers. Stickers are not plant products at all! After months of the subscription lapsing, September 2, 2024, my card was charged for $29.95 by RumbleBumble. I was later sent a tiny variegated schefflera in a 4-inch pot. This is a plant I can easily find for $10-$12. I expressed my dissatisfaction and requested a refund or product exchange via email. Instead of honoring my requests, the company was dishonest about what I subscribed to and refused to offer a refund or further product to compensate for my loss.

Scammer advertised a washer/dryer combo on FaceBook Marketplace. The scammer advertised item as being in Knoxville TN. When questioned she said she was in Kennesaw, GA. She said I could come pick it up the following day but I had to pay a deposit of $250. I asked if, when I got there, I didn’t like it was the deposit refundable? She responded “Correct, Definitely.” She said she would send an invoice with a link to pay. The link was for Google Pay. I sent her the deposit of $250 through Google Pay. The physical address on the invoice is 1633 NW Old 41 HWY, Kennesaw GA. This was my first time using Google Pay. She then asked if I would send the balance and she would deliver it. She said the delivery fee and installation was $125.00. She kept asking for the remainder of the $500.00. I told her forget it and ask for a refund. She said several times that she would issue a refund. So then she said she had canceled 2 sales and would not refund my money. She kept saying she didn’t understand … I told her I wanted a refund but she refused. I tried to talk to Google but you can’t reach them by phone. I filed a dispute with my bank but they said they couldn’t help with a third party transaction. I have nowhere to turn. I saved all of our conversations on Messenger.

All the Hallmark “actors” are being impersonated on Facebook. They ask that you buy a fan card that ranges from $100-$10,000

They claim the fan card allows you to meet the actor for an unlimited time. Most profiles will convince you they want to marry you! It is just as hilarious as it sounds but they target older women and disabled individuals. It’s a sick scam. They claim to have private orphanages, foundations and charities.

I have messages where I’ve caught the scam but the scams continue to grow. I need help getting the word out.

An individual who is a friend of my wife was advertising a number of items for sale on their Facebook page. One of the items was a 2019 Nissan Sentra. My wife contacted who she believed was her friend to inquire about the car.

The individual reached out to me via text to obtain a deposit to hold the car until I could pick it up.

It was not until after I had sent the deposit via PayPal that I learned my wife’s friends’s Facebook account had been hacked. The person we had been communicating with was actually the hacker, and there was never a car for sale.

My friends wife and 2 kids died in a fire. All of a sudden I was friended by her funeral service page on Facebook. I clicked the watch live funeral service link(there was also a donation link) I was prompted to sign up for a free account to be verified with debit card. I then received a debit for $1 to my bank account and no access to a live funeral service for my friend’s wife. I am worried this isn’t the only transaction that is going to appear on my bank statement and I have already reported it to my bank.

I bought a parrot. Seller hired a courrier for delivery. Immediately the courrier wanted me to pay for pet insurance which was refundable. Next was a heated cage, then vaccine certificate, then a few to process my refund of those services which were supposed to be refunded in cash upon delivery. Bird was never delivered and refund never made.

I listed my motorcycle for sale on FB marketplace immediately received a message on messenger requesting my phone number, I received a text with a code which I sent and apparently with my phone number they can set up a google voice number linked to my number. I have changed my google password, my Facebook passwords, locked my SIM card on my phone I just don't know if they were successful at getting my number. Only thing left is to change my number which I really don't want to do.

Police Report

On September 22, 2022 I visited Don Robinson’s house to go see a box truck from Facebook Marketplace. I decide I want to purchase it.

Don said he got the truck from the auction and he didn’t know the previous owner.

We both agreed on me putting down $5,000 to hold the truck so that nobody else could buy the truck. I gave him a cashier’s check at his house at 137 Parkview Place Dr McDonough, Ga 30253.

On September 26, 2022 I gave Don a cashier's check of $15,000 as a down payment for the truck. I gave him the check at his office at 498 Westridge Pkwy Mcdonough, Ga 30253.

We agreed on $20,000 down payment and $1,000 per month payments starting November 2022 until November 2023. Total price: $32,000

Don gave me a Bill of Sale in his office at 498 Westridge Pkwy Mcdonough, Ga 30253.

I sent him money through Zelle of a total of $1,963 for taxes of the truck on November 2020

I sent him money through Zelle of a total of $3,000 for the monthly payments of $1,000 for the months of November, December, and January.

On January 16, 2023 Don called me saying there was a lien on the title so I had to return the truck to him.

On January 23, 2023 I gave Don the truck at the auction at Manheim Auction at 4900 Buffington Rd College Park, Ga 30349. He gave me a check for $24,963 and $500 cash for the repairs on the truck I did. He told me he would a receive a check from the auction to get a refund for the truck. He told me he would tell me when to deposit the check once he received the check from the auction.

On February 13, 2023 Don said he received the title in the mail. He says the auction was not going to give him the money for the truck. He says he has to go pick up the truck from the auction. Don says he will sell the truck at the auction.

On February 21, 2023 Don said he ran the truck through the auction. He said the highest bidder was only $21,000. He said it wasn’t enough money, so he didn’t take the offer. He then said he would try to sell the truck himself.

On February 22, 2023 Don stopped all communication with me. No text or call from him.

Don still has the truck and my money.

I find my truck being sold by K**** Goodridge on Facebook Marketplace for $23,000

I call K**** and he says he is the truck owner and he has the title. He said he gave the truck to Don in August 2022 for Don to sell the truck for him.

K**** says he didn’t know Don sold the truck to me. K**** says Don has the truck. K**** told me he was going to get the truck keys from Don.

Don did Zelle me $5000 in May 2023 then I never heard back from him. I was able to cash the check for he gave me back in January for $24, 963 on June 2023. He then sued me for the extra $5,000 I had from him. We both went to court and the case was dismissed. The reason I'm reporting him is because he has scammed others using his business and I don't want others scammed the way I was.

Met keanutrade in facebook and he offered his service in trading. He said if I will invest in his company he will take 8% of profit and I have the rest. I wired money to Tonya jean Hardin of antigo Wisconsin for 5000 when he received he said he only trade 10000 and above so I wired 5000. Then he said he invested it through trading. Then he updates me every week how money is growing and when it reached third week he said contract is done and he finished his job and time to pay fees. So I wire money to Tonya jean and another person named Jennifer Taylor of Lincoln Illinois. Since I have bank account and routing number I still feel ok. Then I told my husband he called keanutrade and when he spoke then I found out I was dealing with a scammer. I stopped all conversations with him. Reported to authority and bank. Bank said they cannot reverse the wire. I don't know what's next step. I am ordinary person working 9-5 paycheck to paycheck. I cannot imagine myself in this situation. Don't wish it to anyone. Pls assist me. I cry and feel so depressed
