3 weeks ago my daughter (****** *******) had her facebook account asking people for money. She quickly created a nes account taxted her contacts about it and not to respond. 2 days ago my daughter gets a facebook msg on the new account that her facebook (the new one) will be shut down due to non compliance with community standards. we tried to contact facebook but could not locate a number. then my daughter web searched facebook customer service and found this number 1-877-611-1662 to which she called. the person on the phone sounded nigerian and his name was jamal. she tells jamal everything that has transpired and jamal tells her the account was shut down because someone named "Andrew" used her new account and her cashap to purchase things on facebook marketplace and has sofar racked up a $400 debt. my daughter being nieve freaks out. jamal tells her to screen share with him and they will resolve it. she shares with jamal and he tells her to open her cashap and see how much money was attempted to be charged. Nothing was found then jamal instructs her to go into my (Linda Davis) cashap. so jamal has seen and had access to both cash ap accounts which ar linked to our bank accounts. jamal says since they couldnt see anything on the cashap it must have already gone to the bank. finally my daughter thinks something is up and cancels the screen share she said she asked if he could still see the screen, jamal said no it is vcancelled. my daughter checks her bank account with no changes. she checks my bank account and $139 usd the transaction is listed as Cash App*alexys Vasseurvisa transfer Ca transaction type A

reference number 303145824191304 a new appeared as i was typing this for $5.30 reference number 0 Cash App* cash Card Visa Transfer Ca 1

i called the number she gave me and asked for the supervisor. the man who sounded to be from India, identified himself as the supervisor named steve. i told him what happened, i asked why his employee named jamal would do that, was that ok'd by him to have staff that steal from customers. i asked who they were, he said facebook customer service. i told him i wanted my money back in my account within 24hr and all our information "LOST" i was calling the police/FCC and i was not going to let this rest. he hung up on me. i called back i repeated my demands and my intended actions he said do what you want, the money will be refunded. then hung up again. i called back a 3rd time and made him assure me the money would be refunded. i tried to contact FCC, (this was at 6:52pm central time) no one was available to speak with. i left a message. i did not contact the police as i felt i needed to contact the FCC and the ScamPulse.com and my bank first. M daughter searched complaints and this is common. There is also a number providede on the web sites that is false as well. I am not sure why facebook has no "contact us" or "customer service" number available on facebook itself. I cant help but feel they are aware of this scamming as it has been ongoing for many years according to research. Not sure why they have not corrected and prevented this problem. I am angry, i am a 64 year old retired/disabled woman. i have a litmited income and i doubt i will see it back in my account. please address this. thank you

Ordered merchandise from a store advertised on Facebook never received the merchandise however I did provide my name address and credit card information. The credit card was never charged. Which made me suspicious. I contacted the merchant thru their website and as told it was still being processed. Now their website has been removed and no one has replied back to me.

When order got to California received text and picture to verify address and wanted me to pay $2.00 I emailed company they said not to worry being shipped. I contacted them more times to verify shipping said they have no control over customs still coming. Month later says delivered never received. I live in gated community so usps for mail box or has to deliver to door. Date and time says delivered I was home no package. I contacted them they said they would ship free or give refund. I want refund. When I respond to email then get a different one saying they’re not responsible for shipment and for me to look around for it. Then said they would give me 25% money back. I said no 100%. Then new email different person 50% credit. I said no. Now 75% credit. This has been going on since I placed order in April.

Posted classic car for sale on Facebook Marketplace. Reached out to seller indicating I was interested. Then all kinds of back and forth emails. Requested to discuss via phone but was told they had throat surgery and couldn't talk. Referred to the transporter PW Ventures Logistics and that the would contact me directly. Decided to check them with BBB.

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 was contacted via Facebook Messenger about a home repair grant to help the elderly. 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.
