Type of a scam Identity Theft

The victim received a call on her land-line from Adam Kray claiming to be from the BBB. She said he gave her his "ID" number (he stated it was the last 4 digits of his SSN). He told her she had fraudulent activity on one of her accounts. He said the ScamPulse.com would put safe-guards in place so that this wouldn't occur again on any of her accounts. He said the ScamPulse.com would watch over them. She gave him her SSN, bank info, etc. She was on her way to an appt. so she told him she had to go; he told her he'd call back on her cellphone; he never did. When she got home from her appt. there was a message on her landline from one of her account noting that they notice fraudulent activity on the account. She call the company back using the number she always used to contact them.

The ScamPulse.com of MN & ND received a call from the victim. She had found a website (secure.edfinancial.myloanmanager.com) she thought was Ed Financials, but was not (had different look than she was used to, but had a very similar logo). She wasn't able to log in, so she called the number on the site (800-337-6884); they had what seemed to be all her student loan account information, except the payment she made in June. They asked for her SSN, which she gave them. She then felt she shouldn't have given out the info. In the call we found that the actual website was edfinancial.com (she recognized the site). She mentioned they had the same phone number, but actually the number on the "correct site" was 855 (not 800) 337-6884.

Type of a scam Online Purchase

Scammer contacted myself and left and a voicemail for my mother indicating they have been trying to mail her with some insurance documents that require her signature and based on her not being available they were concerned about her address being falsified. I notified my mother of the message and she contacted the company and advised me they told her she had owed on a vehicle from over 25 years ago. The color they indicated of the vehicle, my mother had never purchased. Then they told her maybe one of her children made the purchase and that if she didn't pay using a credit card or checking account, then they would garnish her wages. They told her she could received an email regarding the debt, only if she made a payment. The number has two false companies affiliated with themselves. I contacted the fake company and the guy told me it was a two way state (whatever that means) and that I was just mad etc, when in fact they are attempting to scam the elderly.

BBB Note: For this type of issue, please notify your local police department and the FBI. Provide them with any information that you have on the company and what the call, email, or letter stated so that they can make a report. This type of issue can be called Identity Theft where not only does the scammer get your money but your personal information as well. This type of scam can also result in your information being used to open accounts for the scammers to use or for the consumer to start being called by other so called companies using the same type of claim or even in some cases the same individual contacting the consumer back using a different business name to do the same thing.

BBB advises using extreme caution when getting such calls, emails or even postal mail.
