I received a email survey from Lowes at the end was offered a gift from the offending company of a in car camera . All I had to do was pay a small fee for it and the shipping which I believe came to about $17. That's how they got my credit card info. I think this was in August. Well in September my credit card was charged $63.17 . Then again in October and again in November. This is when I noticed the $63.17 charge and called the credit card company to dispute it and discovered what was going on. These people are crooks. They need to be held accountable for what they do . I have stopped the charges. My advice is don' t trust any adds any more.

Message warned that my Apple iPhone was being hacked and I needed to click-click-click to protect from having the release of “all front facing photos”.

Purchasing gifts for family from Old Navy. Upon completion of the transaction I was offered a Sam's Club membership, $10 gift card, and free food items from Sam's Club. I did more research and found that it was not a legit thing.

The caller attempts to gain private business information in order to update their fictional business listing database for a fee. The cost structure is ever-changing, and increases as the call continues. The caller uses pressure tactics to intimidate, and attempts to persuade their victim to agree to fee increases in order to perform a fictitious service.

received a call saying we needed to sign for a document coming from a roofing company (no company name given) for a refund check. it would come per FedEx. they gave no tracking number.

I contact the roofing company we used and I also contacted the local FedEx office and could not come up with anything.

I highly suspect this is some type of scam.

how would he know we had a check from a roofing company specifically? why didn't he give a tracking number?

I can't imagine what the motive would be they would get out of this?

no way am I signing and of course I would never pay to accept this.

we gave no information to them except that they have our phone number and address.

am hoping I don't have any problems getting rid of them after I refuse to sign

my mom took the call and of course this didn't come to mind right away, but we are now very suspicious.

1. I received an email stating there was a questionable $600 to PayPal, the email had the PayPal logo and was pretty well written. It contained a phone number (877-794-8925). Then they said a supervisor would call back and did from (252-300-6781) and we were on the phone for an hour and 19 minutes.

2. They had me write an email requesting the refund of $600, the individual said he was Mark Roger. I typed in the request and sent it, this was mistake # 1. When I got the reply it had been modified saying transfer $21,172.58, this email was lost too when they knew I had reported them.

3. He said to check my bank account and see if that amount had been deposited in my account, it had. At this point thru some means, unclear to me they were in control of my PC remotely and could manipulate money in the bank accounts with out my knowledge.

4. They said that to send the money back I would have to go to the bank and request a domestic wire transfer. They kept changing the amount but decided $20,500 was the right amount. He typed out the information on my computer and printed it on my printer. Another red flag that they were in control of my PC. The printed request is attached to this email.

5. So I went to Truist and started working with Leticia and she locked my accounts and told the hacker that he was not getting any money, he hung up on her. When I got home I discovered how pissed he was as all the files and email had been deleted from my PC. I further enhanced the protection of th PC by changing Passwords and turning Norton VPN on.

6. The money that they said was the $21,172.58 was really transferred from my other accounts so no money left my accounts and I have put the funds back in there proper accounts.

7. They wanted me to lie to the bank about the reason for the domestic wire transfer, another red flag.

8. I have reported this to Truist fraud which told me to go back and work with Leticia. I have also removed the software they used to take control of the PC and will take to a local person Letisha recommended to further sweep the PC. All transaction are currently being done on iPhone and IPad. Which the hacker said he would only work on PC, another red flag.

9. They wanted $20,500 wire transferred to Account Number 2000 0013 0337 45

Routing Number 021000021

Bank Name JP Morgan Chase Bank

Address 4 New York Plaza, New York, NY 10004

10. In the last two days I have received calls from an individual claiming to be ScamPulse.com Named John Williams. These calls came from Geneva FL (321) 325-5915 on Wednesday November 16 at 12:32 PM. and today at 1:05 PM from San Jose. Ca (408) 645-2878. When he called today I told him I would not talk to him as he is obviously not legit since his calls are showing number on both sides of the country. That's when I decided to look at the ScamPulse.com Scam reports and tell my story here.

This is an MLM/Pyramid Scheme. After looking on the job market I applied to a Marketing Agency called Boundless, which is a real, legitimate agency. Awaiting to hear back from them, I saw an email that said it was from Boundless Chicago, assuming this was them from their Chicago office. When I set up an interview with them, they gave a presentation on how they planned for us to recruit others in as little as 2 weeks. Which seemed odd as it supposedly came from this well respected agency. After going through the interview process, they confirmed my suspicions that they are recruitment based and that you essentially bring people in and get a bonus. MLM to a tee. They also seem to operate under Horizon Chicago, Reverie Chicago, Grow Chicago, and Comraderie Chicago. They seem to try and poach people that apply to like named organizations that sre established and try to get them thinking it's in fact the company they applied for. Some of the same people that are leading the "top of the pyramid" are Michael Wang, and Houssam Alumaidi. They seem to be located in River North.

I got a text message from some person using an email claiming that a 162,379k settlement has been awarded in my name and sent me a link to verify my info when I know they were just trying to steal my personal information. The link they sent me had http and not https so I know the link they sent me was not a secure website and the link was phishy. I never click on those links bc I know exactly what the scammer is trying to do to me.

A man identifying himself as Ronald Sims came to our house at 8:00 PM saying he works for ADT security, I have never seen an ADT worker working at 8:00 PM so this was a big red flag. He asked a couple questions how many people are living here, and other basic questions. I told him come back the next day it’s too late for all of this.
