I answered a phone call and they asked if I could hear them. I said yes and they hung up. I tried calling back but the phone call did not go through.

First, I feel like Apple is responsible for allowing to the misleading that led me to be scammed. I used Safari app on my phone to search for US Passport application. I was looking for official website that ended in a .gov website link, but when the search occurred I was routed directly to the uspassports.online page to begin application. I thought it was odd and even backed out to search it again and was routed directly to the same page. Normally, when I do a search it would populate a list of search options and I could select from them the correct one, but that did not happen in this instance. Aware of the risks of identity theft, I was cautious, but since it occurred twice, I felt that the US Government designed it this way to reduce scammers and identity theft, so I continued and completed application. I provided all necessary PII including SSN that is asked on the legitimate passport application. At the end, there was a Terms of Service box to check and payment of $90 which I understood to be the average cost or fee for a passport application. I paid with my credit card and thought I was done. The next day I received an email from the uspassports.online with an attachment of what they said was blank form to complete the application at home. They essentially were attempting to charge me $90.00 to provide me a copy of the "free"-blank form required for US Passport application. I knew I was scammed then, and was more worried about providing my PII info. A couple days after that I received a letter from Bank of America on 2/13/24. It was approval for a credit application and new Royal Caribbean credit card, which I never applied for. I confirmed with them they received an application and I asked them to delete because it was a scam. I then froze my credit reports with the 3 main credit bureaus. I guarantee my information was taken and sold to other scammers from this website. I want to see these people held accountable and persecuted at the furthest extend of the law.

I received a call from an imposter stating he was with Synchrony Bank (then changed it to Comenity Bank) stating that my credit card had suspicious charges on it: one for $500 and one just over $700. He said he was with the Fraud Dept. trying to determine if I had made these purchases. He didn't specify the credit card until I asked him. He stated BJs. When I mentioned that another company managed my BJs cc, he said Synchrony, Comenity, and my major cc company were all the same and quickly thanked me, saying he would take care of the fraudulent charges. I checked my account. There were no charges on it. Needless to say, he didn't get any more information. The phone number came up "UNKNOWN". Just wanted BJs credit card customers to know someone is phishing for their information!

Random calls from various numbers - 5-10 times per day. Short pause when you answer then blip and a recorded message (they have several) saying something like 'Hi This is Jodi, you asked me to call you about our final expense insurance, do you remember?'

If you say nothing it will hang up after a minute or so. I have only told them Take me off your list and not waited for a response

This company calls a dozen times a day from different numbers and begins with "This is so and so from US Funeral Expenses, you asked me to call you back, do you remember". This is wrong on so many levels. My parents both passed from Alzheimer's disease and we dealt with 10+ years of escalating memory issues. No one in this household ever spoke to anyone from this company, so this statement is totally misleading and inappropriate.

A scammer called me and told me that he would be able to give me a car loan. I had previously applied for a car loan online, so when the scammer told me my name and exact address, I foolishly assumed that it was a legitimate agency calling me. I asked the name of the company and he told me Finance Secure. My initial online search for the company didn’t yield any results, which for me is usually a dead giveaway, but in my mind I was foolishly listening to family members that constantly tell me that I need to think more positive and that everyone isn’t out to do me harm! The scammer even told me to “think more positive” because I was questioning him, that’s how I found out that he was in the state of Oregon. Sorry, I didn’t press for an exact city. This experience just confirmed for me that I am 1,000% right in not trusting anyone and I now have 2 Step-Verification on every account that allows me to have it! The number that came up on my Caller ID was (814) 756-7007. He told me that his name was Marcus and that his direct phone number was (719) 297-1572. He already knew that I bank with ***** *****, so when he asked for my Account Number in order to deposit my funds into my ***** ***** Bank Account, I against my better judgement gave him my Account information. While I was on the phone I was trying to research the company and I came across a big bold statement online that said…”A real Lender would NEVER ask you for your personal bank information, if someone asks you for your personal bank information, it’s a SCAM!”

So I immediately hung up on the scammer, called ***** ***** and placed a hard stop on my Account. I changed EVERYTHING…. I set up a new Username & Password and I closed my Checking & Savings Account and opened up new ones!

I don’t want anyone else to go through what I experienced and hopefully these [censored] can be found, arrested and prosecuted for their crimes.

Thank you for taking the time to read my complaint.

This office has called from at least 23 different numbers that I have blocked on my phone … there are more. They call at least 4 times a day during work hours - weekends / they do not discriminate. I use my phone for business and they are a menace interrupting important calls all day long. I have blocked 18 numbers and counting.
