Report

I am selling a used car on Craigslist. I was contacted by a person going by the name of Chris from phone number 380-264-0932 about how he wanted to purchase my car. He sent me a web site link called, "search autoreport.com". He wanted me to go on this web site to retrieve a vehicle history report. He was requesting a copy of this report before coming to look at the car. He stated he would not negotiate the price if I provided him this report. He was a little demanding about me sending him this report. I spent $27 dollars on the report and I sent it to him to an e-mail he provided. The e-mail he provided was [email protected]. He then asked for a copy of the window sticker from the website he provided. The window sticker was an additional fee. I did not spend the extra money for the window sticker. Since I already conducted a carfax report, I sent him a copy of the window sticker from my carfax report. I didn't hear back from him after sending the window sticker. I never got an e-mail response from him so I am sure the e-mail he provided either didn't exist or belonged tos some unknown person. I researched online and found someone describing the very same scenario as me. They get you to go on a website to spend money on a report. Now they have some of your personal information that they probable sell to 3rd party people. He came across as a legitimate person and willing to pay the asking price of the vehicle. I did not provide him my address. He was asking my exact location.

A total of three phone numbers I had to block including these two.

Claim to be looking for the owner of the business which is now me. I refuse to give her information and told her I would block her then she called me back two more times, saying oh yeah, you’re gonna block me? It was completely unprofessional, which led me to believe it was a scam, looking for the business owners credit card information, claiming that they were a bank, but wouldn’t disclose what bank name they were from.

We've seen several of these scams. We haven't fallen for any of them fortunately but apparently it's a common one as we have seen it a handful of times. They say they have a high quality instrument to donate to us and that we have to pay movers to get it moved to us.

Jason Olander was my mover initially found on Uhaul website. I reached out to him to move my things again. He said he would. He sent me a quote. I paid him the full price for 2 hours as he said Uhaul charges fees and I wanted him to get paid. We set up a day and time. I reached out several times with week before without response. I said I hope I didn’t make a mistake paying in advance to which he replied he felt offended. The day of the move and the evening before I reached out via text and called. He did not respond. He never responded back. I ended up contacting my back to dispute and I had to get a crew of friends to help me move. It was a pretty bad day. I never heard from him at all.

I was contacted about a “Strategic Arts Networking and Leadership” remote internship via my university email. I applied for the position, under the assumption that the internship was real, and my application was approved almost immediately. I was asked via email to schedule a phone interview with “executive director” Michael Polo. I completed the interview and was offered the position. I was unable to verify if the person I spoke with on the phone was really who they claimed to be. I received my acceptance letter for the internship via email 4 days after and was asked to pay a $50 fee to the Society for Performance and Visual Art. The $50 fee is what they try to charge regular members to join. Asking college students to network remotely, with no real work, is likely a total scam.

Victim received a card in the mail noting "Urgent! Action Needed". He was told to call a number to receive a gift card for $700.00. He called the number and talked to a person who said his name was George Smith. Mr. Smith gave him a confirmation number and a Pin number; all the victim needed to do was give bank into and $2.95 to receive the GC, which he did. He was told he would receive the gift card on 12-8-23 via UPS. He did not receive the card and when he tried to call Mr. Smith again he wasn't there and any option he picked in the "phone-tree" ended with a hand up. The victim contacted his bank and took care of it.

Provide a description of the incident and how you were victimized. Provide information not captured elsewhere in this complaint form.

Driving home today my Mom told me that she was tired and I asked why? She said she had received an alert in her computer saying it had been compromised and she called the number (844-437-1957) and then somehow was told to call 1-425-243-8452. Someone named Donavan Brown told her that her bank account had been compromised (supposedly someone tried to buy a 15000 dollar photograph) and transferred her to someone named Richard at “Bank of America” who convinced her to withdraw 15000 dollars and send it to a bitcoin address, which she did. I have the bitcoin recipt - the primary number on it is q5w45qsi and the FTC report includes the bitcoin address the money was sent to and the Arlington County Police report number

They got my ex-fiancés social security number, and full name. They tried to get my son’s social as well. Also got my son’s full legal name. Also, even though I dialed *67 before calling their number last night to look into this place, they still could see my per-call blocked info….

Which tells me they have some phishing tech to that end.
