They sent me a text message saying that a couch had been ordered and would be taken out of my account that if I didn't make the order to call this number 1-805-309-5416. A California number. They actually called me from 802-200-0756. When I called they pretended to be from Amazon and told me to give them the last 4 numbers on my card I hung up and called Amazon and they said that no one from Amazon had sent me a text message and they didn't have a order from me for a couch.

My elderly mother and father in laws received a mail that looked like a check with a message saying their home warranty might be expiring. The note looks legit at first glance and includes a message that is the final attempt and to call immediately. Fortunately they had the good sense to show it to the family and we stopped them from following the mailers instructions.

This is elder abuse, plain and simple!

Received email on winning an ACE propane heater. I do business with ACE and it did look legit; so answers survey about ACE. After completed billing $6.99 - thought this was just for the shipping. After enter credit card, received email from summary of order. Figured out this was a fee for a monthly fee of $6.99 to enter to win this heater. Contact info. on email is phone 877-683-1743 - email [email protected]. Called to cancel, did not get rep.'s name. She said could not cancel current entry # 3379728 but could cancel future entries (gave me future #6062050). Asked to send it to me by email. Never received. Called my credit card company which transaction is in pending mode. Said it would have to process before they could look into this. Woke up early, pulled up card acct. and another pending entry of $56.97 was showing. My information now is out there everywhere. Printed transaction out from merchant: Untangledhealthcom. Called my credit card company they provided me a phone number which is 877-767-5912. Called this number, spoke to rep. Rep was asking for my phone number, etc. Said I was not going to provide him with it. Called credit card company again at 4:00 am. Canceled my credit card - they will be researching and sending me a new card in the mail. It has been 25 years ago since I have gone through this. My computer is protected; guess my credit card not protected enough. I am a very cautious person. Cannot believe I got sucked up into this scam. Hoping everything gets taken care of. Thank you.

PA-PRIV, INC LOC

They took out one cent, then gave it back. I have no reason for any testing of anything from any company.

I found out this is how they test accounts to see if they can hack them further or sell them to the dark web.

I got very lucky because my bank immediately caught it. Now my card is blocked from further use.

I have no idea where they got my card information. i looked up this company and i cant find anything on them.

Kevin at Crystal Clear Company will not stop harassing me to buy windows from his 'company' - I've kindly asked to stop soliciting my residential home. I am registered on the do no solicit list within my city. Each time I call 'Kevin' he disrespects me with making jokes of my request. I fear he will break into my home some day - this is a fake company and/or scammer. I do not believe this company even exists - I believe 'Kevin' and/or his company is setup to rob houses.

I was attempting a purchase on EBay, when a pop up screen from www.shipments free.com demonstrated a 15% discount. I entered a credit card with all the pertinent info. It declined the card. I also used my bank card. It was also declined. Our credit card provider contacted us immediately, stating a fraudulent charge had been made on our card. We had to cancel both credit card and check card. We’re now awaiting a reissue of the cards involved.

This phone number called, asked "Can you hear me?" to which I said "yes" without thinking and then they hung up. Upon Googling it I realized this is a scam.

Caller ID stated Wells Fargo Bank, when I answered the phone I was told they are with Medicare wanting to help with my insurance options, I told them I already have Medicare then asked why they were using Wells Fargo Bank number they hung up on me. This isn't the first time I received phone calls from the Bank phone number but usually they are supposedly with TV providers.

A name my friend knows, Judy Ann Fender, mentioned she received $100,000 from CFDA and it is not a loan but a special program for helping the young, disabled, old, retired and nonretired with cash for paying bills, buying homes, etc., and told him he should do this too and asked if he wanted her to send the contact info. She gave him the website mentioned earlier where he answered a few questions like name, birthday, and mother's middle name. They then told him to pay some money up front by sending an American Express gift card for $550. and he mentioned this to me and I told him to stop and not go any further because that is what scammers do. No money was lost except some personal info. which, in itself, worries me for him. What advice do you have?

I have had various automated calls from the same place, up to as many as 10 in a day for the past two weeks. Each number is different but each system is trying to get me to say "yes." There is never a real person on the line and no number options take you anywhere. They are asking about Medicare benefit enrollment. If you call the number back, it asks if you live in California.

Posing as the UPS on Messaging, told me they had attempted to deliver a parcel which needed my signature and if I sent $2. and something cents, they would deliver the next day. Three tiny pictures depicting credit cards were included and I clicked on American Express and sent the $2.something cents.

I checked my AE Account the next morning and no charge appeared. I spoke to a Rep to be on the look-out as I felt I had been scammed.

About 6 hours later AE notified me that they had received multiple charge for tiny amounts out of Hong Kong. They froze my account, said they were investigating and not to use my credit card. I had at least 25 charges from "Google.com" whom I am not familiar with.

The letter came in the mail and claimed that I need to buy a labor poster or face fines up to $40,000. I recieved a similar letter last year when I first opened my business. Thankfully I realized what it was in time to stop payment on the check. This seems to be a yearly thing.
