i got a text aug 29, i replied sept 8th, looking for flooring work to be done ( we own a small construction co) . from an Oregon phone exchange, stating his address is in smithtown ny. That he got our number from his ex wifes uncles friend. Said he had the flooring material for installation and was relocating and looking to move his family in october /november. That he was 'out of town' on business. The text exchange felt sketchy, so i contacted a realtor friend of mine (who is actually representing the property) to check the address, which was actually JUST listed on sept 7th, there have not been any showings, no offers, no contracts, no bids. the existing homeowners are still living there through december. The guy gave his name as raymond # 541-948-7063. he would not elaborate specifically about the person who "reccomended' us.

Received an email saying with Best Buy Geek Squad and took money out of my account.

- Silver Spring, MD, USA

They initially text like they were my bank reporting suspected fraud on my card. They included details of the transaction (***************** #*** in Charlotte, NC for $425.60) and asked me to respond "yes" or "no" if I recognize the activity. I did not respond to the text. I later noticed they put xxxx for the card ending instead of the actual digits. They then called. They used a local number with an area code that matches my bank, so I thought it might be legitimate. They started out saying a transaction was attempted and asked a series of questions (If I had made any online purchases, used outside gas pump, etc.). Unfortunately, I did respond "yes" once or twice. Then they started claiming someone successfully logged onto my account and that we needed to look into it more. I became suspicious, hung up, and called my bank directly. They verified the call did not come from them and no issues with my account.

“Thanks for your interest. The baby grand used to be owned and played by my husband who happened to have played it last in August last year before his demise. Now, I am currently moving into a new place and I really do not have enough space to keep the piano and I do not want to sell it as it is a thing so dear to my late husband. So I decided to give it out to someone who is as passionate as my husband was about music and pianos. A lady who first showed interest in the piano didn't show up at the point of delivery when the movers moving my properties tried to deliver the piano to her, so I decided that the piano is going to be with the movers. If you do not mind making arrangements with the movers, I can get in touch with them in order to have them reroute it. I believe this shouldn’t cost you too much fee since the distance can be recovered in a day or two.... Apologies for the inconvenience.

Just so you know, I am not giving out a vestige or a waste, It's in a very good condition.”

A friend of mine on Facebook, Stacy Renea Shewan posted about a loophole on cash app, where anyone, who wanted to, could make up to thousands of dollars. I commented to know more. She hasn’t stopped contacting me. First she claimed to have me send $50 through cash app’s Bitcoin system. I figured “why not” I had extra money. So after sending $50, I received an email from an Erica Chafin who says to pay $250 to validate and complete a $3000 transfer. Once payment was received, I’d get the money in my Cash app. After out $50, I figured to do it, it’s still profitable, so I sent another $200 through cash app’s Bitcoin system. After submitting the funds, another email from Erica chafin had come in. It then said to pay another $400 to once again complete the transfer for $5000. What happened to the last deposit I was supposed to receive? I could only afford $40 more bucks so i sent it hoping something would be sent. Nothing, she’s still wanting me to send the remaining $360. To this day, she still is requesting that I send it. I have the emails from this, and the messages from Stacy Renea Shewan.

I received an email from a fellow church in my denomination saying that someone was giving away a piano and wanted to do so to an individual or a church. I followed up with the donor to get more information regarding the piano and she directed me to the moving company listed in this complaint. I sent them my address and phone number to receive a quote on having the stored piano that the individual was giving away, to my address. As we went further into the process, I began to feel uncomfortable and researched the company's address, only to find that it was not located on the map. Also, the website has misspellings throughout and it also says that they have locations in other parts of the world. It just all became fishy. I searched the scam alerts on the ScamPulse.com and found that the one here is too similar to my situation. Below is the original email from the event.

Someone reached out to ********** *** about a baby grand piano she's giving away- they are not able to take it, but wanted to offer it to other Atlantic Conference Churches. Here is all the info she sent us below.

The Yamaha Baby Grand Piano GC1 model used to be owned and played by my husband who passed away last year, the dimension is "151cm by 146cm". It was last turned on mid last year before he passed. She's about 2 years old and in an impeccable condition.

I've moved my properties from Pennsylvania to California, and I don't think my husband will be happy if I sell this piano, at the same time, I don't have enough space for it in my new home, I'm hoping to give it out to someone who is a passionate lover of the instrument. I wasn't going to leave it alone in an empty house.

The piano is in storage with the moving company in Pennsylvania. Can you promise to take very good care of her for me? The piano is still in a very good condition. Instruments become very personal almost like pets. You know you wouldn't want your string instruments to end up just anywhere. If anyone is interested in it I will inform the movers about the person and arrange delivery to your address. They will require their delivery Address. In attachment are the pictures of the Piano.

God bless you

A quasi-official-looking letter arrived in the mail, claiming Final Notice. Included the specific name of a banking institution, and a fake check voucher for $199. No contact information (address, website, etc) other than 1-888 phone number. [Tried to attach the letter but it wouldn't attach. Couldn't get off the page.]

They asked to speak to a relative they did not know has been long deceased. Probably because that person was the primary homeowner. They asked to conduct a survey, but I refused by saying, "We don't do surveys." I never revealed that I was not the person they asked for, or that the person was deceased.

The Text of the email follows:

UNQUOTE

I did not contact the sender as requested, but, rather reported this scam to my bank (Fraud Prevention Dept) and then to the ScamPulse.com at this website.</[email protected]>

Someone hacked my Uncle's facebook account and pretended to be him. He sent me to the message box of Agent Smith Williams to get my "Free Government Grant Money". I didn't give him any of my personal information.

Answered call and asked for me and I said this is her and they tried to say I signed up for something for my kids to be a part of some firefighter and police program so if I ever needed Megan’s law and I said I did not sign up and he said he has my information on his desk and for me to have 15 minutes of him time and I said I was busy and he said he will call me back at 7. I told him I was not interested and he didn’t seem to want to take no so I hung up

I did not communicate with them

My email said they need my correct address and 1.95 for delivery. So after I did it I received to charges from mystreyketo.
