Pretended to be friend of mine on Facebook who got a grant for $150000 and wanted me to get one too from Gary ***** government organization employee. I needed $1500 to send for insuring check to be sent to use FedEx. Got a text saying from FedEx using phone number 484-964-5955. Couldn't get $1500 to send so I contacted friend who said she got hacked and it wasn't her. She is Birgitta Ramirez.

I received 3 identical emails within 10 minutes saying my Norton life lock antivirus package was renewed for 2 years on 4/19/23. I did not have this service to begin with, so it did not need to be renewed. The help line number at the top of the email was 818-878-8244, but at the bottom of the email it said to call the help line at 818-493-1944 with any questions. One email came from [email protected] and the other two mails came from [email protected]

I received a phone call from a person named ******* claiming to be from the fraud department of Amazon, he told me that I had 5 different Amazon accounts in my name, in multiple states and that someone had placed an order for an Apple device through my account, when I told him there was no record of that transaction in my order history he told me not to discuss this with anyone else because I told him that I was going to call Amazon. He wanted me to pull over while I was driving to be able to write something down and when I couldn't, he called me back about half an hour later but from a different number. He still claimed that he was from Amazons fraud department and proceeded to tell me that something was up with my social security number, I told him that there was nothing wrong with my social security number and that I had it verified through Amazon that there was no such purchase, he abruptly hung up on me.

The caller started cussing at me when I told him that I no longer use that last name and haven’t for 14 years. He said I took out a payday loan but never gave an amount just said I would be served some time in the next month. And continued to cuss at me

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.
