Report

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.

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.

The owner/manager WW befriended me and said he had a business that he needed help with. While hanging out speaking about the business, he stole my SSN, cell phone & sent himself 1500.00 from my personal account. I then started to receive tax notices in the mail about a car I did not purchase 2020 Malibu. This is when I noticed my SSN card was missing from my wallet. He moved & changed his number before I could contact & speak with him. Another friend said he told her he sold cars & she sent him money for a car she never received. Please help stop this scammer in Greensboro NC.

I received a letter in the mail PPG Clinical Pathology LLC and they were asking for money for services that I did not have done. The email address was www.patientnotebook.com/ppg222837. I thought this was odd so I called the BBB. It has a billing phone number of 314-682-1900, Monday-Friday 10-8 and a lot of different times, state ID and it just didn't seem right.

An unknown scammer opened a Chase banking account online using all my personal information then tried to cash a fraudulent check for 2500 that thankfully was not able to go through. However, they now have all my personal information, so a police report was made on the matter.

They market a job as a marketing manager from a company called Luxe. There is no information on this business other than their link. They texted me appearing to be someone named Jennifer Diaz but when you look into it that person can’t be found. Someone named Esteban will legitimately interview you and I feel they try to gain personal information to either impersonate or gain money from you.

QFlix LLC is supposedly an internet provider, although I have never heard of them, let alone purchased anything from them. They somehow hacked my Cashapp account, so im diputing the charge with Cashapp as well.

I was contacted by a contact on my friends list through Messenger. I was told she had a new phone and needed me to accept notification of location from the app ( which I've forgotten) and a code that would be sent to my email. I replied to " her" with the code that did come to my primary email reply and was caught in a hack of profiles and locked out of my accounts on Metas Facebook amd Messenger platforms. My profile is now being used by someone who is NOT me and is at risk of allowing further access to my digital information and possible access to other more sensitive accounts. I have taken steps to secure everything but this is a gross violation of a mentally ill, disabled senior and if its not against the law...it should be.

Someone has to find a way to punish this corporation and order them to change or stop the way these sites are run.

Im now very ill from the stress this causes...its an assault and if I find a way, Im bringing charges against someone!

Im 57 years old and have enough to deal with as my memory and my quality of life disintegrates. I used these social media sites to be able to see my family living their lives as I am alone ..and now Im frightened all the time that what little I have will be stolen because they stole my personal social media information and might be able to worm their way through everything else. I can see that there's been innumerable complaints against them and they just dont answer them. Are they children? Someone needs to be the adult and do something. Its disgusting that their address is "Hacker Way".

How much more in our face can they be?
