- Edmond, OK, USA

They got my personal number while pretending to be heavily interested in buying something from facebook marketplace and wanted to send me a 6 digit verification code to "verify my identity." When I refused and asked questions, they quit responding.

A gentleman came to my house and signed me up with a life insurance policy when money would be taken out of my account beginning Jan. 3, 2023. I have a gut feeling SOMETHING is not right.

- Roanoke, VA, USA

Received a call from someone says they were an Arbitrator for the Bank of Marion and were going to sue me for money owed on a credit card.  I don't do any business with that Bank.

Fake sweepstakes claiming that consumer won $1 million but they would have to pay $250 in vanilla debit/gift cards and give them the account number. They are targeting senior citizens. 

I was called and told A T & T was partnering with Target to lower my monthly cost for TV Cable service. I needed to pay by either Target credit card or Target gift card. I had to buy a gift card for $500 and pay 4 months in advance then would get a monthly bill in the amount of $125/ month for 2 years for all the services I currently pay $225 for. After buying the gift card and supplying the scammer with the information I was called an hour later telling me the gift card was denied. They wanted me to buy another one. That was when I realized it was a scam but it was too late.

This is the second time I received a scam from this “open doors USA scam” I hung up before he could ask about money this time. It’s becoming a nuisance. Charitable organizations don’t call asking you to personally donate.

i receved text that my flight got cancelled. I looked up google and got phone number. I was told I have to pay extra now because prices are higher. i gave them credit card, when they sent me email i realized am not dealing with the airline. They called me and wanted ID or conference call with bank.I declined.( by accident I gave them debit card as it looked like my credit card. ) I called credit card and closed it. I changed my bank card, but got charged anyway. I went to bank to file a form.

I got a text from this number saying this "USP - Your package has stopped delivery and you need to update the correct delivery address." Sent a link as well.

The email explained that my annual service protection plan subscription with Geek Squad has been renewed and reactivated. The annual charge was $398.99. Gave a start and stop date ending Oct 5, 2023.

Offered if there were any transactional error in this receipt or you wish to cancel the subscription and get a full amount refunded back to call the toll free customer helpline. 1-877-821-1542

Lots of red flags.

First, I don't have a protection plan from Geek Squad. Second, I know that Geek Squad is part of Best Buy's programs. The email and contact is not what this email describes so they are phishing the Geek Squad program. The email came from a gmail account.

I have reported on scamtracker and deleted the email. In addition I have let Best Buy know.

I received an email from paypal saying i bought $600 worth of merchsndise. So i called the number to report that was not mine. So he said i had been hacked & told me i would have to take steps to recover. Then he would ask me to buy gift cards

A few days later i received an email saying they were going to reimburse me $50000. Then he would ask me to go buy more gift cards and if i didnt i wouldnt get the money.

Product prices are marked down more than 75%. Phone number listed on website does not work. There is no support email listed on website, no contact information is available for help. Placed order on website, after 3 weeks, an email is sent saying item is not in stock. Checked website again to verify, indicates item is in stock. Complete fraud, waste of time, website should be taken down immediately. It appears this website is setup solely to steal personal information as product ordered never arrived, no shipping or tracking information was provided.

This is the item that was ordered:

I am afraid website owner might misuse my credit card information, or personal information. Please investigate website owner.

One of those "Say 'yes' if you can hear me" scams.

Caller said because I pay mu bills on time they could wipe out my bills.

- Lexington, KY, USA

A man with a phone number area code in a different part of the country than I was contacted me about my business services saying that he was diagnosed with cancer and wanted his two daughters to come to my gym for personal training. He was adamant about paying me, but would not go through PayPal, Venmo, Square Cash or Zelle. He also wanted me to arrange for private transport for his two daughters to my gym because he couldn’t bring them. He eventually sent me his own credit card information unsolicited, and his “business” credit card had a zip code on the other side of the United States from his area code and my own location. It was at this point I stopped responding.
