Called my cell, it went to vmail. Said they were calling from Walmart to verify an unauthorized charge to my Walmart account (I don't have a Walmart ac). The message said the order included a PlayStation 5 special edition and pulse 3-D headset totalling $879.29. I called the number back and someone picked up -- I purposely remained silent to see if someone would say hello and identify themselves as Walmart. They said nothing,but I could hear voices in the background, after a few moments they hung up. I called back a 2nd time, and this time I said hello and someone responded w a "hello can I help you?". I asked..."what company am I speaking to? Someone called me from this number." Then the caller was clearly a bit flustered and said..."Oh we are Walmart Investigations and we are investigating a fraud w/ your account." I responded...Ok, I'll contact Walmart directly and hung up. As I see this very same (or close to same) scam is listed here for Jan 2025 multiple times, it obviously is the flavor of the month w/ Walmart as the hook. I am just posting my experience so hopefully authorities can get more evidence to shut down these guys.

I joined a group in Facebook called Teacup Maltese Puppies for adoption that has almost 5000 members. I was interested in a puppy and contacted the breeder named Kerri Len via messenger.

I set up a date to pick up the puppy which is 6 hours away from where I live. Suddenly she says that someone else is interested in the same puppy and I can deposit $175 to reserve the puppy. She asked for personal info and also checked if I had Apple Pay or Zelle. I told her that I was not going to pay anything until I see the puppies. Basically, she tried different ways until she realized that I was not going to be scammed and she stopped responding to my messages. Definitely a scam!!!

This group continues to call me daily. They leave long messages about finalizing a loan which I never applied for nor did I seek information from online. They use a variety of phone numbers so blocking them doesn’t seem to work.

The phone message was unintelligible. The only thing i understood was my name. I did not return the call. What is interesting is that I've recently been phoning Kohl's charge card about incorrect charges. I barely understood the person I was talking to on 2 separate calls. The person identified themselves as being in El Salvador. She asked for the last 4 digits of my soc sec number. So she either had the last 4 digits or the whole number. I'm currently composing a letter to Kohl's asking for my account to be corrected and why Kohl's is giving my personal information to a third world country. I'm speculating that this may be Kohl's fault. It would be interesting to find out if people who received these scam calls all have Kohl's credit cards.

I was checking my bank statement and I had a message showing that two charges of $1.00 each had been blocked from this company. The charges would have been against a new debit card that I have never used. Also, I have never done business with this company. I tried calling the company using the phone number on this site, but all I get is a message that the phone is busy. I have closed out my debit card but I and nervous in that they were able to get the number of a new debit card that had never been used. The only thing I did was to activate through the bank system.

They told me it was a job called Redlands, that I’d get money off of commissions. Every time I would make money they would take my money by making me pay deposits that I wasn’t able to make (with large amounts of money)

I received an email with an "invoice". Also, I do not hold a Wells Fargo account. The email "name" is also under ******* ******. This is what the email said:

Dear Customer,

I hope this message finds you well. We are writing to confirm that a transfer has been successfully processed through Zelle. Below are the details of the transaction:

I checked online and notice that the customer service number for Well Fargo is not the number that is included in the email. I also forwarded the email to the Wells Fargo Phishing department.

I received a prepaid debit card with VISA account number with my name printed on it to my address. The mailer only came with a QR code to be scanned and sent to their link if you want to "ACTIVATE" the card. The card is issued by Sutton Bank, but services are under CashApp. I Called Visa to block the card number associated with my name. I then Followed up with CashApp customer service (800) 969-1940 who says they can assist ONLY if I provide feedback via email, and include photos in order for them to open an investigation. Customer service could not respond when asked what information was needed in order to open and request a prepaid debit card in someones name. Their customer service can not assist with removing my contact information without providing a personal email.

I received an email supposedly from Amazon Prime indicating my membership renewal was coming up and my mode of payment needed updating. There was an "update payment" button to link to something that I'm sure would have stolen my credit card information.
