Instagram offer of end of season clearance items 70% off. Following purchase, I saw the website & realized scam. Emailed support site & saw it was "carbomall".

Requested cancelation and refund. They declared they are legit and couldn't cancel. Instead of items arriving, a cheap piece of jewelry with a fake appraisal arrived and no return address.

This was an ad on Instagram for a free make up kit. You choose a gift box, and if you got a make-up kit, you won it. Well, I " won " the kit, but had to pay the $2.97 shipping. When I entered my Paypal credit card information, the screens sped up and processed the payment in under 10 seconds. When I got the Paypal notification, it was not the shipping charge for a make up kit, but a bogus recurring charge set up for a " Mystery Nutra Club ". I informed Paypal right away, but they said I couldnt open a dispute until the payment was actually processed. I informed this company that I did not order this, and they acted like they did me a favor by cancelling the recurring shipment charge, but they would not refund the nearly 60 bucks that they basically stole from me, so I have to fight it through Paypal.

I was looking for Instagram customer support to help with an issue with my Instagram ads. The scammers website came up on Google as Instagram Customer Support. They told me somebody had recently used my account to run ads through Instagram (this was true whether they knew it or not, and knowing this was accurate I trusted them). He then got me to send money on Coinbase to verify my account and the money was immediately returned. He then got me to send another transaction and the money was not returned. He tried to get me to send more but it started sounding much sketchier, so I got his name and found “his” LinkedIn. It was a white man from California even though the person on the phone was definitely Indian. He hung up when I continued to ask for any type of verification of his identity and employment through Instagram.

Issac Grier mini Impalas through Instagram under user name mini Impalas. We exchanged a few words through Instagram messenger and made a sells transaction for a mini impala and the amount of $2500.00 when I sent the money through Zelle under the name JUICEY FRUIT & GRIER TRANSPORTS. Isaac sent out a fake tracking number and has since taken down his Instagram page and he doesn't answer any of my phone calls. He received the money on April 14 and I still don't have the item I paid for through Zell using my bank account **** ** *******.

Have been called many times and they hacked into my ig and changed all my information such as email and password and are trying to target other people who follow me for money as well. I’m fearing for my life and friends and needs to have all meta based accounts erased asap but still have got no contact from the company. The email they are using is: [email protected]. Please help me to get my money back and they also have photos of my id and that needs to be cleared since there is a imposter using it

I dmed them on instagram while looking for a brand ambassador job. They explained to me how the process would work and said I had to pay a one time $70 ambassador fee on cashapp. So I did and in exchange I would be given wigs to review. Once I sent the money, they never contacted me again, left me on read when I asked for clarification, and didn’t respond to my refund request on cashapp.

I reached out to the girl about a refund for a no text or phone call to receive my hair appointment address. I messaged or and call her the day of the appointment no answer. All of sudden she reaches out like it was nothing on Dec Dec 26, 2022 but I book my appointment on the day of Dec 23, 2022. I asked for a refund for no contact on her part. In the messages she said it was non refundable but as a government official if someone provides service you need pay. She did nothing for me but give me a sarcastic answer as if I have no choice. No you stole from me and I will be looking in further civil matter because I cash app her a deposit $50 and when I reported to Caah App for scam and need a refund she continued to lie.

This person keeps making fake pages pretending to be someone else. And they try to get people to send them money. I made up a false story to see if they would keep up with it.
