Posing as the head of my church, the scammer texted me yesterday, addressing me by name, asking me to help with some commitments as she was in meetings all day. I was asked to buy three $100 eBay gift cards for parishioners hospitalized with cancer, send the pastor the redemption codes and hang on to the cards to give to the pastor later. I learned only this morning that someone had hacked our pastor's computer, apparently stealing parishioners' names and phone numbers. Others also were targeted but I don't know how many fell for it. I contacted eBay but the cards had already been used, of course.

The scammer called stating her name was Alex black. She called twice in a row. I listened to the VM bc I did not answer and she stated charges against me came across her desk that morning and I had been officially notified. I ignored it. A few minutes later my daughter called me and said Alex black called her number looking for me. I told her it was a scam. She had also received a VM bc she didn't answer. This "Alex black" left another number to call. I called it and told this woman (same voice as the woman who left VM) I know this is a scam do not call my number again. I called to tell my daughter I called this woman and while we were on the phone this Alex black called my daughter back, so she put me on hold to answer and this woman told my daughter I needed to be outside in 30 minutes witt my I. D.

This woman sounds very professional and very convincing. The next day this "Alex black" left another VM saying the same thing, that charges had come across her desk and that I had been officially notified. I do have the VM saved.

Recieved text msg stating thank you for my purchase of Buy triplex 3 and stated my bank statement should read a particular alphanumeric code followed by several digits that turned out to be their phone number upon calling they asked my name zip code but refused to tell me the name of their business and would only state that they handle 3rd party orders .I asked for a supervisor I was told to call back at 9 am . I asked that's strange there's no supervisor for your shift and he exited the phone call as I informed him I was going to report them and be hearing from my lawyers. At this point I am unsure if they took money or attempted until morning when I can verify . Also number the text came in on is tbis one I included in the attachment at top of the message that reads 707 730 2319 , the phone number I spoke to him on is in the msg itself that is on tbe form I filled out I was able to reach him by clicking that link

See this article. Describes the situation to a tee. The mobile app did look legit. In addition to credit card information, it asked for a birth date.

my computer froze and microsoft windows defender said to call the phone number and do not attempt to shut the computer down. I called using a private *67 and they it appeared the call did not go through but they called me back. I don't know how they got my number but they called from 405-260-8048. I wanted my information and I told him I was not giving any information unless I knew it was really Microsoft. I hung up on him. He had an India accent.

I have been getting 15 a day emails saying they shared a room with me in a hotel. The hotels are all being advertised in different countries. Google LLC is behind this hotel advertising by ***** thinking I am a man they are emailing. I am a 80 yr old married female with cancer and dying. Do not email this junk to a sick person thinking I am a man they want to hook up with. Stop these hotel advertising of different rates depending on the country they want you to say in or rent. Stop this scam on hotel advertising.

I receive about 6 calls per day from different numbers from "get refund" and they are bypassing me to answer the phone and go straight to my voice-mail. S**** ****** is the name she leaves saying she will get my business up to $26,000.00 from the "Cares Act". She says it's not a loan and will never have to pay it back. All I have to do is call 866-341-6222 on some of the messages and 8*********** on others. No matter how many times I call them back to to remove my number they still persist. If they still persist it can only be a scam attempt from my information or defrauding tax payers.

I am getting calls since yesterday about every 5-10 minutes with ND area code (701). Varying different numbers call and ask about a healthcare inquiry I opened (which I did not do) and want more personal information from me. I have asked repeatedly for them to stop calling. The number I provided is from a ‘Chris’.

I called FedEx to correct my address for a completely unrelated product. I must have dialed the wrong number and this person (with a strong and hard to understand foreign accent) answered and, after I explained that FedEx had a wrong address for me, he started pretending to be FedEx. I kept asking him to fix my problem, and he told me that I had to agree to pay $2.50 for a gift card, and after that he would solve my problem. I was gullible enough to give him my credit card information. After about 10 minutes on the call I kept asking for him to fix my issue, and he kept sending me to answer questions from a computer voice. I got angry, repeating that I needed FedEx to fix my address. Again, little did I know that I was not speaking with FedEx. He gave me a number to call his manager to fix my problem. The number did not exist.

Later, I checked my credit card and saw that I had 4 transactions that I did not recognize; 1) HR Ageless Renewal

(agelessrenewalsolutions.com); 2) Pick Your Deals LLC, 3) Innovations Magazine LLC, 4) ID Core Protection LLC (id-core-protection.com).

I found a business registered under Pick Your Deals LLC (https://bisprofiles.com/fl/pick-your-deals-l21000077220). This business also appears to be the same as ID Core Protection LLC (https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_fl/L21000077268). I also received and email from this myshoppingrewards.com welcoming me to their savings program, which appears to be the so-called gift card I was asked to pay for. I contacted this company and there was indeed a record of a trial membership, which I asked to be cancelled even though I never signed for it in the first place. The Ageless Renewal also sending me a welcome email. I went to their site and cancelled it online. Again, I have no idea if these two cancellations were real or part of the same scam. I could not find this Innovations Magazine LLC.

Today I received a welcome email from this ID Core Protection service. The email looked a Nigerian Prince scam, just worse. The senders' address was [email protected], which leads me to believe all businesses are part of the same scam.

I went to the website id-core-protection.com. When I tried to click on "About" or to print the webpage a pop-up would appear. The pop-up was a hardcore porn site. I tried to perform the same actions again and another hardcore porn website popped-up. I closed the popups immediately, but one could have been a teen porn site.

I cancelled my credit card and will try to revert the charges. However, these redirections to porn sites were very disturbing.

In summary, by dialing the wrong number I fell for this scam. I am embarrassed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Tommy Goodman the owner and broker of this scam Realty company cold called me about buying my timeshare in Mexico from another buyer Modello Beer whom he claimed was purchasing hundreds of memberships. He said there would be no upfront money and then after signing there contract they harass you for money saying it is to pay mexican tax and that it would be reimbursed by the buyer. The bankstatements that are supposed to be from the buyer from a bank in Mexico are forged and fraud as I was in Mexico and went to the bank personally. I told this to Tommy Goodman of Womble and Crow and he will not reimburse my $30,412.00 but instead asks for more money for his sales commision for signing the contract.
