Called stating they were our local utility company and they were about to shut off our power, asked for a new payment source and sent me to their financial dept to give them this info which I did not. I called my local utility company to see if this was real and it is not. I called the company and told them that they were a scam and that I was reporting them and they hung up on me.

The email offered Rachel Ray cookware for free and all that was required was a shipping fee of $8.95. I did pay it using my CashApp account and did not receive anything. This offer came under Kohl’s name that I won said cookware. Unfortunately I don’t have anything else on these thieves because the email got deleted. This is an imposter of Kohl's scam.

They sent me a text message saying if I’m interested in a job for 27$ an hour and that the interview would be on the signal text app. I messages them they gave me a code to give them so they would interview me. They asked questions in parts and I had ten minuets to answer just like another description about this job they did the same exact to him. They sent me a check for equipment I would be using to pay somebody else to send it to me with their money and they said 200$ sigh on bonus but my bank got locked and I called them explained what was happening and they told me it’s most likely a scam. Sad because I needed a job from home.

I was called on my cell phone from 601-9388657 which said Meridian, MS. I answered the call and a lady named Debra answered and said she was from the Department of Mississippi Revenue and I owed money from I think she said April 2022 to March 2023 maybe back taxes. I immediately hung up. Shortly after I received a call from another number from the same agency. I didn’t answer but received a voicemail from the second number. I called the Department of Mississippi Revenue the same day and I had to give them my social security number which I did not feel comfortable doing and they said I didn’t owe anything and that this was a scam ant to report it to this organization.

The scammers use influencer Nick *****a to sell a program that promises to create a ecommerce store for you on Walmart. All emails, portals and websites have been taken down, and they closed their bank accounts. It's been over 1 year, they delivered nothing and are not reachable. I hired an attorney to send a demand letter to the addresses form the contract, no response. They are still actively recruiting new victims at https://www.the-******** and email me [email protected]******* saying that they can remedy what AA messed up, but of course they want more money. They are currently being sued by other victims, I did not have the funds to continue to pursue. Thank you

I was approached with a job offer supposedly from a company named Currus Biologics Limited. This is a real company from Melbourne, Australia, but the scammer claimed the company had plans to create branches in Salt Lake City, Utah, Florida, and other states here in the US. The scammer going by the name Sharell Moore claimed that she was an HR Officer for the company working from Moab, Utah. She was offering a work-from-home data entry part-time position, with a pay of $30.75 per hour. She conducted most of our contact and an interview through messaging on Skype, and she seemed very legitimate and professional. Things just didn't seem right and when I confronted her on whether she could provide proof of her employment at Currus Biologics Limited, she stopped all contact. The scammer did get my signed signature, as she requested I sign a document to officially accept the position, then scan and email the document back to her. She didn't request any bank information, but I believe she was going to within the next week to supposedly get the information for direct deposit. The scammer also claimed that there were several office equipment items required for the position, but that the company would mail a check to cover the costs using FedEx. I have attempted to message Currus Biologics Limited to see if they could confirm whether or not the job offer was legitimate, but they have not answered back yet. I also have screenshots of all contact and messages between me and the scammer, so if that is needed I would be happy to supply them.

I answered the phone because I am familiar with the area code; it looked like it was local (920) and I believed it to be the med cab company that I take to my dialysis appointments. When I answered the phone however, the scammer had a heavy accent and asked for me by name. I said I wasn't available ("she isn't here right now") and asked what the call was about. The man said it was about "Medicare" and then hung up.

Someone called saying they were with Amazon's return department. They hung up quick and I kept calling back to ask them questions. You could hear all sorts of people in the background and before I was able to block the number the man that called was using bad verbal language.

Scam requested $90.09 fee to obtain official copy of Mississippi Certificate of Existence. Said it “may be required to obtain loans, to renew business license, or for tax or other business purpose. May be required to have certificate after 1 year of being in business.” Form looks official. No website just email address & toll free phone number to contact MS Certificate Service.

I intended to dial Southwest Airlines after getting a text that my flight was canceled. Because I was in a panic, I unintentionally pressed 1 wrong digit, and thought that I reached Southwest, but really didn't. I told the person answering the phone that my flight was canceled and I needed to rebook. They acted like they were a Southwest employee. They said they had all my information on their end, but they wanted to verify my identity which meant that I also had to give them the same information - personal identifying information. They were able to change my flight. They told me there would be a charge for all 3 tickets (even though I told them Southwest doesn't charge to change a flight) because they upgraded the ticket. I was under duress because I was trying to get to my Dad's funeral in Florida. They charged my credit card, but my credit card company reversed the charge. I just wanted to share this information with others to warn them.

Man called said he was from xfinity and will lower cable bill.. said he was from Albany NY, he called from a Vicksburg robo number. Had our names, home number and address, I asked why he was calling from a Vicksburg number if he was from NY. He hung up..

My brother in law with dementia was scammed a few weeks ago by an Xfinity scam caller like this and he now he has lost $195.00. Also next door neighbor had same call, they wanted $400.00 from her. We called Xfinity about this they know nothing of it, or knew how they got the customer listing.

After two days of pretending to work for the Felton Institute, 'Jesse Villiers' who I found is not employed with Felton Institute, after calling and asking if he was part of the staffing there which she proceeded to say it was a scam. He tried to have me purchase an iphone and apple watch saying I would be reimbursed. It all seemed suspicious but the previous day I was in such a hurry to get I job I had sent all my information including social security number and ID. I am very upset and told them I will take legal action if any of my information is compromised.

I was contacted about a position that I applied for through indeed as a data entry clerk. I was told to download an app to contact the HR manager. They insisted The “interview” was through Instant messaging. Despite my instinct telling me to run away I continued through to the end. Finally they told me that I would get a check if I was eligible for employment so I could purchase equipment. -.- I told them to kick rocks.

I started a new job/position where they accessed 1 or 2 of my credit card(s), paid off the debt, so they now want me to pay them back. I did not ask them to pay my debt, they were doing a background check on me where they asked for pertinent information such as my credit card(s) information. I was informed that they are fraudulently scamming me to use my card to obtain Apple Store products. I have since contacted my card(s) services and they are taking care of it on their end.
