I received an email stateing I owed $799.99 for a renewal of service and to cancel the service you need to call this 833 number. I called and this eastern indian get on the phone and state that I can cancel, and state to walk me thur the steps to cancel. He wanted access to my checking and and I asked why and he said that's is one of the steps to get your refund we need to see your account, I told him that's not going to happen and hung up and locked me out of my laptop. How I got the 754 number was he called me from that number and asked me if I was going to let him to see my checking account, I told him no way. My laptop is still locked. On the Statement I received from that, which I still have in email form, is a big ScamPulse.com logo stating approved and in good standing. Feel free to contact me, I'm 71 and retired. Mr. T

Robert Hendrix PayPal business-SCAM

Here is what happened to me and my savings account

From March to 06/01 the above business was able to hack into my savings account not checking but savings account. This is surprising since there were no alerts of any suspicious activity or multiple withdrawals in one day.

I had not checked my savings activities since I have never used the account for any other purpose except to deposit money from my checking to my savings account.

No vendor or other entity has this account number fyi so from starting in April this company in March withdrew 10.00, 50.00 ,90.00 and 290.00 same day then

$490.00 next day then 50.00 190 190 290 50 and then 50 190 190 290 50 then May nothing and June 1 2006 $1900.00 this is where he messed up-to much money for me not to notice my balance had dropped significantly

this is a warning that savings are unsecured with no security alerts unless you set it up separately from your checking alerts. The bank was SDCCU. I have security and limits set up on my checking and assumed I had the same protection with my savings. The only way to have savings secure is to setup text alerts whenever a withdrawal is made on your savings account.

We have had most of the money return to us by SDCCU and the March with drawls are under review to see if they will cover the fraud. This is another fyi- banks are only able to go back 60 days to file a dispute online in the branch. Otherwise, they have to manually request, which takes more time to get the approval to have money returned back to your new account.

Obviously , you want all new accounts checking and savings:)

Happens everytime I list something on Marketplace. They ask if available. I answer yes. Then they want to call me so they ask for my phone number. It's so bad that I immediately check the profile. There has to be something done. I think about all the people out there that these fake accounts are preting on.

Monday, May 29 scammer claimed to be with Xfinity and was partnering with Target. The was to reduce my Xfinity bill to $104 for 20 months, if I payed the first months (4x$104) with a Target gift card worth $416. Then they texted Tuesday May 30 and said there was a problem with the Target card and asked me to get a different one. I called Xfinity, and they told me they had no such promotion. I realized I'd been scammed. I feel rather foolish.

They said my social security number was being used in new Mexico and that It was involved in something . And he said something like identity theft . Than they said I had 2 option that it it be reported and it be put in the newspaper and I'd go to court over it and something bout my bank account that I'd need to remove money from it cause it was going to get frozen due to what they said was going on that I need to remove money from my account to put on the cards and give them the numbers that it all was being sent to social security and that I would have to go there to recover it( they gave me a name And. Case number and claimed to be from the FDIC) .I was stopped by a worker at the store I got the card and she told me that there's a scam going on people are getting people that way .than I called the moneypak card place and told them what was going on they said the cards was registered under someone else's name not mine and that they froze all cards.they than asked me to send in pictures of all cards front and back and all the receipts for them . I did that I got a email back from money pak 5-20-23 saying there was no funds recovered .I knew that 2 of 9 cards that there was still money on them cause they was never activated . So I called them back and the resubmitted the claim again on 5-20-23 and on 5-24-23 was told again no funds could be recovered .I called Walmart MoneyPak/ green dot and kept getting the run around was sent to multiple departments and or hung up on .I did get info from. One person saying that the 2 cards that wasn't activated was closed but funds where taken off after which absolutely make no sense and said was under someone else's name . Those two cards was never given to scammer like the others so therefore they took funds off it .

I stopped to help a couple that stopped on the side of the road and I thought they were going to ask for directions. They first told me that they lost their wallet at a hotel and they were from Bosnia at a hotel. Then the guy started to hand me a gold ring which I didn't take it. I told them to go to the nearest gas station for help. I told my wife about it, then she looked it up and saw that it was a scam. I would like to let the people of Springfield know about it.

Spoke to a potential buyer on Facebook Marketplace. They asked if they could call or text me a verification code to make sure I was human. Been a while since I sold something and I fell for it. They asked me for my number and I gave it, but I halted when they started asking for the number of friends and family.

When I responded to a potential buyer, he said he wanted to make sure I was a real person and I had to enter the code that he was sending me. I was nervous so didn't do it right away but being trusting I did enter it, but next thing I knew he sent another one and said the other expired and I had to be quicker or he would think I was a fraud. Then I knew he was the fraud and immediately reported him to FB fraud and deleted all of the message w/my phone number and those codes, as I later learned they steal your identity with them.

An amount of $12.99 was taken from my bank through my debit card without my knowledge. I have alerts on my bank account whenever any transactions take place. On May 16, 2023 I received a notification that $12.99 was deducted from my bank from a .com company. I clicked on the company name in the notification and was taken to a website. Once I connected with someone I told them I did not authorize the transaction and wanted the funds refunded immediately. He assured me he could do that but then he started wanting all kinds of information from me that, if it was a real company they should have known, like the debit card number the funds were authorized from. I refused to give him any information and when I told him I was going to call my bank, he disconnected the call. I immediately got on my bank's e-banking app and turned off my debit card, physically had them shred the card and issue me another one. The representative (scammer) never did tell me the name of the company and what the fees were for. All he wanted was my information.
