Call said that there was an attempt to use my credit card in Texas. Asked if the charge was legit. I said no - asked to verify card number. Said a new card would be mailed at no charge. Afterwards went to telco account and this card is blocked. Then i received a text saying that the card was blocked and to call an 833 number which i did. Then i looked it up and found that it's on the ScamPulse.com scam tracker list. At least the card is blocked.

__________________________________________________________________

Me: Hello Ms. A. Lester,

My name is Firstname Lastname. I applied for a data entry/administrative assistant position and received an email this morning requesting that I reach out to start the interview process.

A. Lester: Hi there!

How are you doing today?

Me:I'm doing very well. How about you?

A. Lester:I'm doing very well, thank you.

Do you have time for the interview? This will be a text-based interview, not an audio or video call.

Me: How long does the interview typically take? I have a little bit of free time right now.

A. Lester:Okay, It would take 30 minutes for the first session and another 30 minutes for the second session.

Me: Do you have time tomorrow?

A. Lester: Yes, I do have time tomorrow and will be available today until 5pm EST.

Me: Does noon EST work for you tomorrow?

A. Lester: Okay! Looking forward to that time tomorrow.

Me: I'll talk to you then! Thank you!

A. Lester: Good morning,

How are you doing today? I'll like to confirm our appointment at noon today. Let me know when you get this message..

Me: Good morning,

Yes, we're still on for noon if that's alright with you.

A. Lester: Perfect!

Me :I'm ready when you are.

A. Lester: Okay.

Me: Where do we start?

A. Lester: My name is Ms. Amira Lester, and I am the hiring manager at Praan, Inc.

The interview will be conducted through a Q&A format, and it will take place right here via text on Teams. I believe you’re ready to begin the job briefing and interview process now, correct?

Me: Yes, I am.

A. Lester: This process will take no more than 1 hour of your time. Could you please provide your full name, city, state, zip code, and interview verification code?

Me: Firstname Lastname, City, State, Zip Code, HR-PN22

A. Lester: It's a pleasure to meet you Firstname!

First and foremost, I want to express my appreciation for your prompt responses during the job briefing and interview process. Your timely communication is valued.

Before we begin with the interview and job briefing, I’d like to give you a quick overview of our approach. It may seem a bit unconventional or unfamiliar, especially if you’re new to this process, but we believe in staying ahead of the curve. As the world evolves, we must adapt to new ways of doing things, and change is a key part of progress.

Attached is the job description for your review. Please take less than 10 minutes to go through it and let me know once you’re finished.

I hope this makes sense, and I trust there are no concerns with this approach?

• Verifying data by cross-referencing it with source documents.

Me: Could I ask a question first?

A. Lester: Okay, please go ahead.

Me: https://www.bbb.org/scamtracker/lookupscam/950570

could you explain this for me?

A. Lester: Okay but we're not ScamPulse.com Accredited.

Me: I totally understand. I'm more concerned about the fact that I did not submit my email to the bbb, However they have the exact code i was provided, which makes me believe you provide the same code to every applicant

A. Lester: I completely understand your concern, and I appreciate you bringing it up. However, I want to assure you that this is a legitimate job opportunity. The code provided is part of our standard hiring process to track applicants and ensure consistency in our onboarding procedures. Many companies use similar identification methods for efficiency and record-keeping.

Regarding the BBB, we do not submit personal applicant information to third parties. If there is a misunderstanding, I’d be happy to clarify any concerns you may have. Our goal is to ensure a smooth transition into your role, and we look forward to working with you. Let me know how I can help ease your concerns!

Me: I am also concerned with the fact that the email used to send me your contact ([email protected]) is for a hotel in Elgin in the United Kingdom. I am confused why there is not a more official email your company uses for outreach and concerned there may be email spoofing involved

I received a phone call on 1-31-2025 at 8:17am and was informed that I had a warrant for my arrest for not appearing on a federal or criminal jury duty case. The caller informed me that I had to pay $10,000 for a bond through wireless transfer so that I will not be arrested by the local police officers. The caller informed me that they were Leflore County Sheriff Department where James Payne was the sheriff. The caller stated that his name was Timothy Gregory. He also informed me that the money had to be sent through Bitcoin and that I needed to stay on the phone and not to hang up. I did as I was told out of fear of getting arrested. The money was borrowed from a very close friend to help me. The caller was a scam. I was informed by my wireless provider to fill out a claim with bbb.org/scamtracker and IC3.gov because these websites will potentially help me get my money back. The caller texted me from another phone number 616-226-3916. If you are receiving this type of call or receive a text from this number, please don't give them anything. Go to your nearest police or sheriff department to report it.

I wanted to cancel my Experian subscription so I googled the company and called the number attached to the website. I was charged a dollar to cancel my subscription which I thought was odd. I pulled up Experians number off the Experian app and realized that this was a completely different number. So I called and asked was there a cancellation already setup on my account and they had no idea. The number I called was 18885278724 a man named Travis who claimed to work cases for Experian is the person I believe is behind this. The number on the Experian app is 18883973742 I called this number and not only was my account canceled they sent confirmation that it was the legit Experian company. I would like this person or the number reported I have to cancel my credit card now in fear of this scam monitoring my account and robbing me blind. People should not be attacked online especially when there just trying to cancel a subscription.

I have repeatedly received text messages from someone asking to speak to me about land that I own. (I don’t own a parcel of land of this size). I block the number, then the message comes from a different number. The is never an email address; I entered an “assumed” email address in the previous information in order to proceed. Copy of the message, which is virtually the same each time:

Hey, it's Elsa here from PLP. I would value a quick conversation about the 17.7 acres land you own in Clarke cnty. Reply STOP to unsubscribe.

A email was sent to me about a bill for 35 dollars. I called the number provided and they sent me to accounts and this is where i believe they created at this time. Because they asked for my information then. Waited 30 days in grace period and still charging interest.... And when i asked what was purchased they couldnt tell me that. And they said a card was attached and wouldn't give me that information either. I was told by friends that i shouldn't of responded to the email. But i pay my bills and knew i didn't have an account. They said it was created in 2017 but first purchace was in 2019? Makes no sence. Didnt know anymore ways to get help. And i came across a video on how paypal is scamming through emails. My mother suggested to give you guys a shot at this. The number is my old number and my new number is 319-327-0646.

Try pay bill over the phone for Old Navy. Transfered 3 times give each person my information. The first 2 times they transferred to another person to verify my identity. The last person they transferred me to said he had to call me back to make sure it was me. I ask if I'd be able to call him back 3023003664 he said no. Then he transferred me back to start all over give them my information again. It just felt wrong having to keep repeating my information. So I hung up. I called the number it's said it's only an out going number. When I looked at my call log it said it was spam. I tried to ask Old Navy but they said they didn't do that and wanted my information again. I just want to know should I be worried.
