Report

I received a call from a private number. They claimed to be officer Eric Mason badge #01265 from US Customs despite their thick Indian accent and lack of correct English grammar. They said they had seized a package in my name from Mexico that contained fake IDs and drugs, and that someone had opened bank accounts in my name and wired $50k to Mexico and Colombia. They knew names of my family members. They also said that there were two properties in my name, one was a previous address but was a lease. They mentioned the US Marshals and the DEA. When I started asking more questions they claimed to fax my case information to the local police department and said I should be receiving a call from them to continue processing the case.

Today I received 3 calls within 5-7 minutes. First it was from a 573 number then they called me from an unknown number. They asked for my father by nickname, which I'm unsure how they would've know this, nor would ever use it on a legal document. They said my father owed $200,000, which he doesn't. They also referred to me as my maiden name, as though I was my mother but I'm unsure how they would've known this either. They were basically trying to phish for information about my father and I asked them not to call back.

I basically gave all of my information to a scammer because I was expecting a call from social services. I froze my account. I am submitting one more alert, and then I’m done because I don’t have all day. I am just surprised that the government is allowing this to happen to me, I can’t answer my phone I can’t answer my emails. I am below poverty and I had to close my bank account because someone took $250 out. I literally had nothing to eat. I’m really upset with everyone right now especially because I’ve asked for a call a year ago.

I received a phone call from a man with a foreign tongue saying he was from the State of Ohio offering me Free WiFi, Tablet & Phone I only had to pay $11.00 shipping free. I gave my address to make sure he had the right one. But nothing else. I told him I wasn't sure about my money yet. Then he said he would ship it around the 14th to me, to be paid on delivery.

Then I called the ScamPulse.com to see if it was a scam.

Gov.. needless to say I didn’t realize that I could go to that website and do the same thing for free .. so this place has taken my money it’s confusing at all of the results on google that are out there to know which are legit. Unfortunately I did not realize until it was too late. I have put a freeze on my credit..

Today I received a call from a local number by someone who said they were from Medicare asking about my coverage and asking me to provide personally identifiable information. I already have Medicare so the call seemed odd.

 I received a letter in the mail stating Student Loan consolidation prepared for me, It stated that it was a government program.  I called and gave out all of my personal information.  They told me that I would qualify for complete loan forgiveness.  He processed my loan over the phone and stated that I would have to do this every year, and in October of 2023 my student load would be forgiven.  Also they would charge me $248.00 each month for six months and stated that did not sound right and so I called Mohela.  Mohela informed me that it was a scam and that they do not charge for processing applications.

I recieved a phone call and the caller said" can you hear me," I said yes, the caller said she was from health care.gov and if I wanted to opt out, press 2. After I said yes, and pressed 2, I realized I should have not done that. Hopefully they don't use my recorded message "yes" to purchase something.

After you file an LLC, this company mails you an official-looking letter stating that you have to purchase a labor law poster or you will be fined up to $7,000. It is NOT required to order this. It targets new, small businesses and the letter looks official like it’s from the government.
