Once I notify them that I had not received my item, there had been back-and-forth and once I told him I was reporting them to him y’all and to the police then they tried to negotiate with me that they would give me 10% of my money back then they would give me 20% of my money back it went all the way up to 40% or 50% but I want all of my money back

Scammer from 864-514-5349 Alex Allen and had a pic of a woman who responded within minutes of a Facebook marketplace posting and said they were interested in purchasing my bedroom set. Sent me a six digit google code to give them and I gave it to them. They stopped communicating when I asked if they were a scammer.

I received a friend request from a person on FaceBook Messenger. I thought I knew this person but actually she wasn't contacting me. The person immediately started to tell me about a way that they knew someone who could help me pay all my bills. There was this special program to help people having problems paying their bills. I told them that I didn't need any help with the program but they kept sending me messages and a fake email from a lawyer named, John Smith Law Firm. This is the email that was sent to me, m.me/attorney.johnsmith.fgov.18. I clicked on the email and this person created a false application. I knew something was wrong when they asked for my drivers license. License was misspelled! I didn't give them my license nor my social security number. I became very suspicious and deleted my information from them and blocked them. I haven't heard from them anymore. The person is an older Caucasian man.

Scammer posted on another person's profile on Social Media, selling puppies. I paid a $200 deposit and they got my email and phone number, they have my name and it turns out they were scamming me trying to get more money from me. The cost of the puppy was supposed to be 400. But then they tried to sell some "Insurance" and then asked me if I got an email. They sent an email that was obviously suspicious. It came from a gmail account. That's when I knew I was taken! I have the thief's cashap name $lovebugmj95 and they also provided an email address of [email protected]. I will upload the documentation. Horrible people in the world. I know I should never fall for this type of thing! I feel so stupid! I hope others don't get scammed by these horrible people.

I was looking on Facebook Marketplace as I had heard that Amazon was using local distributors of pallet sales of Amazon's unsold or returned items. Basically, I was looking for a laptop I could afford for my church as a donation. I found the Precisions people and checked them out. the seemed to be about 50/50 and they were pretty new which was about average for new distributors, according to the scam research sites that I was using. I looked at the ScamPulse.com and thought I found them here, not ScamPulse.com accredited, but ok. Apparently I was wrong. Anyway, I had done some research on Precisions and found that they seemed to be based out of England, not China, but trained sellers to go out and do this type of job legitimately. I could be wrong and can't find the site for reference at the moment. Moving on, the scammers sounded pretty questionable because it sounded to good to be true which usually is...there were little red flags that I should have watched. Instead I went by the reviews and ratings of the site and I placed 3 separate orders: 1 for a laptop, the second for Christmas Lawn decorations, and the 3rd for a third lawn decoration for Christmas and a big screen TV 75"+. By the time I was done, I had paid a total of $120.39 for the 3 orders. Approximately 2 weeks later, I received 3 small pkgs: a brown hat with fur lining, a pair of red slipper socks, and a pair of leg braces. The tracking numbers matched the tracking numbers that I was given but certainly not what I had ordered and paid for. I then wrote two emails: 1 to Vanessa at LC Net ([email protected]) and the 2nd I to [email protected]. I let both know the outcome of the deliveries and that I wanted my money back ASAP. If I did not hear back from them or have my money returned, I would be contact the ScamPulse.com and other Fraud related agencies. That was earlier today and that was the last I heard. There was a second company name called Widely-used.store but had the exact same items, invoices, contact people...even emailed me back in the same email thread as Precisions. I ask that you look into these people before anyone else gets their money stolen. I am forwarding pictures and documents as well. below, is a picture of the hat I received instead of a laptop. I have pictures of the other two items but can't seem to upload them.

I had listed two items for sell on Facebook Marketplace and the scammer contacted me through Facebook Messenger asking if they could pay me using Zelle and their wife would come and pick up the two items from me. I gave them my Zelle information for them to send the payment. Instead they sent me a fake email from a fake email address claiming my account had an amount limitation on it and it had to be upgraded to a business account before I could receive the payment. Once I contacted them and informed them of this. They then proceeded to send me another fake email from the same fake email address as the first one claiming that my account was upgraded and my funds where safe in my Zelle account until I refunded the buyer $300 for them paying to upgrade my account. Here's the two emails I received. Ive completely marked out my information.

Repeated FaceBook ads with many positive reviews. I ordered 3 ornaments, for Christmas gifts, on 11/8/22. I received a confirmation email of the order, but no follow up shipment date. I have emailed Support 3 times, asking for order information, with no response. I have left 2 voice mails, with no response. When I looked up the address on Google Maps, there are no buildings, just highway. I expect my credit card company will research this and I will recoup my money. But I am out my 3 favorite Christmas gifts, with 2 weeks until Christmas.

I received a message with a picture of my step mother,who lives in Louisiana, telling me to contact the Agent Kathleen Alice at https://www.facebook.com100086763979963 to tell them a friend told me about an on going grand and I was ready to apply. I did not do it. I contacted the ScamPulse.com and was told to call the Health and Human Services to check on the agent's name. I called and was told they do not have anyone there by that name.

I saw an ad on facebook about maternity clothes, and I decided to look because I am currently pregnant. Their items seemed really great quality, and I liked what I saw, and after reading their return policy, I decided to try it out. I did not know at the time that the items were coming from China. It took over a month to receive the first shipment of clothing and then when I opened the package, none of the items were the same as what the picture online showed. I paid about an average of $35.00 per item and got nothing that looked remotely the same. I emailed the company and got a response saying to keep the items and they would refund only 5%. That only came out to about $12.00 when I paid $259 for all my items. I was still waiting on my second shipment of items when this happened. I received the second shipment, and the items were even worse than the first shipment! So I emailed them back and they said they could do 10%. I am still waiting to hear back from them because I documented all the problems and told them I would accept nothing less than my full refund for their blatant lies and deception. Their refund and return policy is clearly laid out on their website, but they disregard it completely when they receive emails asking to be refunded.

My cousin's FB page has been hacked. My cousin said he got $30,000. He directed me to "David Hemsworth". My cousin sent me a picture of himself. My cousin sent me a video of a guy in a truck thanking David for the grant money. I told him some of the things he's saying don't sound like him. I asked my cousin how much money he made by referring people to David. He said he couldn't say. David asked me if I lived alone. David said when they send the money, I have to pay a fee. He said it will take 7 hrs to send my money by FedEx. He sent me to a website to apply. I told him I wantd $50,000 and he said I would have to get $50 in Google Playcards. He said in order to hold the money he would need a $100 Google Playcard from me but last week he only wanted $50. He wants me to take a picture of the cards front and back and send them to him. I've told him that I'm on SSDI and that my son has been in an accident, I've been in an accident. I can barely pay my bills. I told him I had Covid and it would be a few weeks.
