Beware! Phishing text message asked for all my information! Praying they dont fraudulently get me again! It sucks being a victim

Email stated that my Amazon order for $240+ for a woman’s jacket was received, would be charged to my Amazon account and item would be shipped to an address in North Olmsted, Ohio.

I don’t have an Amazon account and I don’t live in Ohio, so I just deleted the email.

Nothing came of that event.

Then I received another email from “Billing Department “ saying that my order had been upgraded, my account would be charged, It included a PDF that they wanted me to open to view details of my order.

I deleted that without opening the PDF because I think that doing so would allow the scammers access to my information.

I received a call from called Larry Jackson who said he was from BBB. He was calling because I had failed to claim a prize from Publishers Clearing House. I only had to pay a 1% tax. I was told to get a money order, only from ther Post office and make it out to the IRS. I should then mail it to the IRS at 157 Brookridge Trail, Nashville TN 32711. He gave me his phone number and said to call him with the MO # and tell him it had been mailed. I did nothing.

They called said they were raising money for the police department. And could they count on us fir support. Asked for pymnt which I did not give said I would do it through the mail. Tried calling them back after I hit a funny feeling and it said the number was no longer in use. You can’t trust anyone anymore or pick up your phone.

Received a text message stating:

[First name], final alert about your USPS package 1D42H7 from 03/24/2020. Click: m1shv.info/lvSxHO9t08

- Lilburn, GA, USA

This person claims to have a video of me and tries to make me a total 8400 but wants 300 up front

- Loveland, CO, USA

Recorded voice left voicemail stating that I had four felony cases against me and local authorities would be arresting me if I didn’t rectify it. When I returned call to the number provided the person who answered identified themself as an *** agent. When I began telling them that I was familiar with *** collection process they hung up on me. I called back twice and both times I was hung up on.

They texted me giving me a confirmation code for my changed password for my *** account. When my assistant called them, they wanted to take control of my computer screen to see if they could figure out the problem.

I received an email from eBay stating that my item sold. User above requested my contact info from ebay and contacted me via text with the information provided by eBay expressly "for resolving matters related to eBay". The user then requested my e-mail address via text to arrange a Paypal payment. The user was new to eBay, and I'm still learning eBay, so I provided my Paypal e-mail address, knowing I could mark the item manually as paid in the eBay system. I received a text from user saying that payment was made. I then received 2 separate e-mails with the sender listed as [email protected] asking me to enter the tracking info in the link provided to release the funds (both e-mails were in my junk mailbox). I did not click the link, instead I continued to check my Paypal account directly and there was no activity. I went back to the e-mail and upon further inspection, the e-mail actually originated from [email protected] using the name [email protected]. Everything about both e-mails looks official and used the paypal logo, legal info, and their HQ address, etc. As a side note, I googled the name and city/state of the shipping address provided by the user and the person was found guilty of petit larceny in May 2017 in Amherst County, Virginia. Not a good sign, and possibly a person like me who thought the sale was legitimate. When I texted the user advising that there was no payment activity tied to my Paypal or eBay accounts 6 hours after user confirmed the payment was made, I have not received a response. Again, not a good sign to an otherwise responsive back and forth earlier today. I would imagine that many people fall for this...I almost did. I believe there are plenty of users who would not crosscheck the senders domain ([email protected]) when the e-mails appear to come through as [email protected]. I sent the e-mails to [email protected] to verify the fraud and both have been confirmed by Paypal as phishing scams.

Company wanted me to direct deposit a check in my account. I declined and they recended my job offer.

A man approached my door this morning and asked me if we ran a business out of our home. He said he was with the ScamPulse.com but would not give a name nor did he have a business card. My husband does store business equipment on our property but we do not run a business out of our home. I contacted the police to file a report as well.
