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.

They repeatedly call me from different numbers trying to get me to verify my social security number. Keeps saying they are from social security and that I qualify for benefits. I know this is a scam because I am already receiving SSI and social security disability benefits and the real social security number would not call asking for my social security number. This is a health insurance company calling pretending to be from social security. This is a phishing phone call.

I was wanting to make a purchase which has difficult to source. Their prices are very good with free shipping. Before I checked out, I wanted to know more about this company. They have several links which will not display information : about us, contact(except chat which you provide personal info), return policy, terms of agreement ect…I feel uncomfortable and I suspect maybe the company has went under or sold it off. And maybe is a scam now. Your listing is okay with them. They have no reviews. No phone listed. I really want this item but it is around 100 dollars. I will pay almost twice the price elsewhere. I need more assurance from this company before I buy.
