Emailed the real Federal Trade Commission Tues August 13th around 6:30pm

Received a voicemail message August 14th stating that the real FTC, Hector, confirmed I am a victim of identity theft,they don't ask for any money, transfers and don't have ID badges. Do not answer phone or text.

Means of communicating was phone and text.

I pasted the email message I sent them and I am adding to it.

Dear Federal Trade Commission,

I want to see if I can bring scammed.

Two websites were given to me to verify.

www.bit.ly/reportcyberfraud.com www.bit.lu/reportcyberfraud.com

Received a call Tuesday am August 6 2024 from Robby Wright emp Id rob609, case number 6428416391. He told me my identity was compromised.

Transferred to Officer James a Kohm stating my social security number has been sold dark web.

The web protection company, failed. My identity compromised. My social security number, license,bank account, and address exploited.

I reported to the bank. Had all credit cards replaced.

I have Legal Shield, two Norton accounts, LifeLock.

James said bank account was used in my name to money laundering to China/ overseas for 70 thousand dollars and I would be paying penalty not paying taxes at the end of the year.

Don't worry about penalties, I will investigate and you won't have to pay taxes or penalties.

There are 3 banks Bank of America, JP Morgan and PNC Bank.

James kept reassuring me that it's being investigated. Don't tell anyone.

He is very efficient and has use of artificial intelligence to scan my purse for credit cards, I use a anti theft protection wallet. Did the protection wallet I bought not work?

James asked if I had stocks, bonds, 401k, CD's and security box in a bank. I said yes, CD's and 401k of

almost 24 Thousands.

James wants me to transfer my 401k 20000. to the checking.

Removed a large amount from my checking account.

Don't worry about the penalties/fees he says many times.

He said he issued a new social security card and should be delivered by mail and a debt card as well. Should be delivered in a few days. Thinking it takes a few weeks to get back.

James was on the phone with me the ride there and during while at Walmart.

I went to the car, in the parking lot at Walmart and scan the barcode he texted to me.

I didn't open an security locker, never used before. Officer James opened under my name. I scanned a couple different ones he texted.

With the withdrawals, I was instructed to get gift cards.

Bought Money Pak,

Apple, Nordstrom and Niky Texted the scanned both receipt and gift cards to another number 857-693-6105.

Federal Trade Commission ID 981235

Sincerely,

Around 11:20am that morning I looked at my email and received one saying someone had purchased a gun in my name and email andress, so I called the number on the screen which was 1+888-280-6301, and an email sent by [email protected] I send the imagine in the attachment with the photos. I spoke to a indian (hint hint) gentlemen who went by the name jordan. What lead me to believe it was real was because someone tried to use my card at target for $371.00. Anyways, He said that around 8 thousand dollars was being used to send to human trafficking countries, as well as money laundering and drug laundering, I had 2 options, 1 go to jail or raise a complaint, so I did, They had my address, SSN, name and email, so I believed it. The identity thrift ID they gave me was *********** and I would have to “safegaurd” my money. ( I should of known)he then transferred me to his head department, this man went by the name David Muller,his “personal” number was +1(239)329-6608, also indian, they were claiming to be the Federal Trade Commission with the number 1+(206)317-2196, so I did, the transactions at walmart were from my personal bank account which was $1,900( banking with Western Heritage). They then saw somehow that I had another account, this account, he tricked me saying that since my SSN was linked to that account 50% of that money was mine and I also had to safeguard it or else my father can also go to jail and lose his job, so I did, I took out 50 thousand dollars, put in my account and took it out, my father is a doctor and is widowed carrying for my brother and I. He had me download this app called “anydesk” this allowed him to see my screen since I was being watched on who I’d be messaging and threated if I told, I can get into bigger trouble, also wanted to be merged with my calls to know if I was saying anything about this. I proceed to go find a bitcoin machine or any type like that that involved the apps such as (Coinme, Bitcoin,Coinflip,AllPoint, LibertyX, Coinhub wallet and then rockitme) (big red flags) I attached all the recipes also to the photo page as well, After I had safeguarded this money, he was going to send two officers to my house to give me a new social (which doesnt make sense now) but by this time, when I was all done it was around 7-8pm. It was too late for them to go so he’d send them in the morning, He called me this morning regarding the officers he was supposed to send to my house in El Paso Texas, *** *** ****. this makes me believe that he didnt receive this money because he was still calling me. He called from another number which was +1(586)991-9750, after I had spoke with the New Mexico police department last night concerning the case it was already around 11:03pm. I filed a report last night as well as this morning on the same situation, I filed a police report in Las Cruces, New Mexico. I also sent a complaint in the federal trade commission about this incident Thank you.

I received a voice mail on 1/23/2024 from a man named Frank Miles, who said he was calling from the Federal Trade Commission. He wanted me to call him back about some winnings I had in my name that they had contacted me about that I had not responded to. I did not call him back. I have not received any notice about any winnings.

I was using my computer and a message popped up saying there was a virus and there was a phone number I needed to call that was supposedly the FTC. I spoke to someone named Melissa Chase. They told me I needed to buy gift cards to secure my money and an agent would call me in about 5 to 10 minutes to set up an appointment to bring me a cashiers check for the amount I put on the gift cards. I hung up on them and they haven't called back. My computer seems to be fine now.

I'm 86 yrs old. I received a phone call today at 12:13 pm, from a man with a Phillipino accent. He said they are working for the Federal Trade Commission. He told me the company lost his license, and the business is required to refund the $129.99. The caller had my address. The caller told me to go to his computer. He asked how I would like the refund, and I said Western Union. It couldn't be processed through Western Union. He asked if I had a debit card. I gave the caller my Chase account number because I knew there was only $63 dollars in it. He said, "I'm sorry, you don't have enough money in that account. And asked if I had another account, and I said no. Then he said we are having trouble with our computer, and we can't send it through. I told the caller my wife works for the attorney general. And he started stuttering. I told the caller I would report him to Verizon. I could hear others in the background, it sounded like a boiler room.
