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.

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.

Wanted me to download GDOT app or cash app ,give him my ss#, email address home address age & full name, any bank account information

"Hey, what are you doing?" text from unknown number.

"Hey, what are you doing?" text from unknown number.

Called and said I may be required to appear in Burlington court

Proceeded to insist I take down some kind of instructions.

I refused to cooperate.

Asked them what this was about but got angry and hung up at that time.

Told them not to call this number again. I blocked it.

They asked if this was Eric and I said yes and then they hung up

Call came in on my phone did not know the number. I will not answer if I don't know who it is. They left me a message to contact them at 855-994-0826 the number that showed up on my phone was 717-415-2932.

I don’t enter sweepstakes but they know my name and my town plus my email and won’t stop sending me messages for two months, I don’t answer them but they won’t leave me alone saying I won a prize, I’m sure they want money from me or banking info, How can I get rid of them?

Kept calling me asking me if i was “Daniel”, he asked me yesterday. He called again today and asked again and i said “no you asked yesterday”. I assume he was trying to get me to say yes in yesterday because he hung up immediately. oops
