Scammer's address? Victim LocationAZ 85233, USA Type of a scamIdentity Theft
The phone rings from this number which is not traceable to a particular person or business even though the area code comes up as Washington. A message plays that the IRS is filing a law suit against you and you must immediately call for case file information at 206-565-9503. Obviously, I am not calling since the IRS never notifies parties by phone. The attempts have occurred 3 times in two days thus far.

Total money lost$460 Type of a scamCounterfeit Product
Person calls claiming to be from Microsoft or Dell or System Mechanics. States your drivers are not up to date or your emails has been hacked or there is a problem with MS Windows and bit will only take a few minutes to fix. Once they gain entry to your computer they change or add a Windows password and hold your computer hostage then tell you you need to pay $400 for security update. Now they have access they keep calling constantly even IF you pay like some elderly persons I know that did. And ask for more. This time $3600!!! I immediately called them back and asked them not to call again as they have called 17 times today. Well this morning....5 calls to them already by lunch time!!!!!preys on the elderly and disabled.

Scammer's addressConnectiut, CT, USA Scammer's emailNot Applicable Type of a scamCredit Cards
I received a telephone call from an unidentified female who possessed a very thick Latin American accent (possibly Mexican) on 28 June 2016 at about 4:55 PM (Western Time Zone). She claimed that I was randomly chosen by her organization to receive a $100 gift card because I had allegedly visited one of her employer's client's websites. She refused to tell me the name of the purported website. After saying that I could use the card at Walgreen's, Safeway, and some other businesses, I said to her: "I'm aware that a phone scam run by Mexican criminal groups does the same thing you're possibly doing. Are you trying to steal my credit card information? she said she was not and immediately pressed me to give her my card details. I asked her if she was calling from Mexico or if she was Mexican. she said that she was a Fillipina who'd recently arrived in the United States. I've worked with and have been friends with about 70 or so individuals from Cebu City, Manila, Mindanao and other areas of the Philippines. Her accent was definitely not that of a Fillipina; it was that of a Latina. She said that I had to give her my credit card details to get the card since shipping costs of the alleged card weren't covered in the (phony) deal, etc. I refused and said that I'd like to talk with her supervisor. She then ended the call.
I just received another call from this gang. Please end their activities at once. You may contact me any time between 8 AM and 10 PM (Western Time Zone).
Thank you.

Type of a scamPhishing
I received an automated message June 25 & 27 saying we had a lawsuit filed against us and unless we called they would freeze our social security number. I did not return the call but the caller ID said it came from Washington DC and I'm afraid many elderly people will call them back.

Scammer's phone6125020069,6513332073 Scammer's addressMN, USA Victim LocationMN 55122, USA Type of a scamPhishing
Someone called my cell# from the 612#- no VM was left, and I did not answer the call, then about 15 minutes later they called a distant relative of mine from the 651#---they did not answer-so they left a threatening VM that I have an URGENT MATTER that they need to be contacted back on to verify documents to be sent???? I have no idea how they got this relative's phone number as it is someone under the age of 18?
I don't know anyone at these #'s, they are indicated as VOIP#'s when I try to look them up online.
So tired of these kinds of calls........ Don't give them any personal information.........
Money was transferred into MY PAYPAL ACCOUNT for an item that I listed for my friend on Craigslist .And there it was, showing up in my friend's account! Then the scammer said that a person in Georgia was being recruited to pick up the item and then the "pickup fee" was transferred into MY ACCOUNT, again showing up on MY ACCOUNT. Because the email address for the scammer was the SAME, ie. [email protected], I thought that was legitimate. Now my friend out $1600.00.
I feel that this is paypal's responsibility in that they should have taken down this scam address long ago. How can they allow a "payment" to show up in my friend's personal paypal account when there really was no money there.

Scammer's phone888-598-0258 Scammer's address? Type of a scamOther
I've been getting notices in the mail (2 now) that look like they are coming from the official auto manufacturer ***, that appear very formal and urgent, stating that I need to call in immediately before I "risk not being able to obtain protection and an inspection may be required". There is no company listed, no address (except for a "mailed from zip code 63155" stamped on the envelope and PRSRT STD US Postage Paid, St Louis, MO Permit #5283), only a phone number 888-598-0258. Somehow they have specific information about a vehicle I purchased a few years ago and have since sold more than a year ago. They are notifying me that my warranty has expired. It's confusing to know what they are saying I must do, either extend my warranty or "obtain the protection of an oil additive product for my vehicle"
These type of advertising are unethical, manipulative, dishonest, and predatory. This company should not be able to send letters without their company name and address. They should be required to have the word "Advertisement" written across the top of the letter as you would see in a magazine. They should have to state that this company is not related to Honda and that it is a third party. This company should be shut down.

got a call from a person claiming to be centerpoint energy saying that we needed to pay 1,400 dollars or our power would be shut off. I brought it to the attention of the owner and they said that the company uses reliant energy. i called the real centerpoint and they couldn't find us in their system. basically they wanted us to go to a local CVS and pay the money. i then called them back, the scammers, and acted like a real customer. they couldn't give me any information as far as account numbers or anything and i told them i'd contact the authorities. the just hung up.

They represent themselves on CL as the US postal service. When you call they start asking questions under the guise of needing the info, you comply with them thinking more info is forthcoming - they take advantage of polite job seekers. They eventually say there is a fee for a postal exam of 97.00 and you provide your card info to charge it. You provide your digits for your card and then they want to charge it right away. Thats when it hit me, but it was too late - they had my card info. The next day over $4000.00 of charges were made on my debit card. My bank's fraud dept called me with all these unusual charges. There were 37 charges made, most of which were caught but 3 slipped thru and were posted. My card had to be shut down and now I'm out of money. These thieves need to be stopped and then arrested. I'm not normally naive enough to fall for this but they have a smooth scam going and are exploiting the desperation of unemployed and underemployed people. They advertise on CL under General Labor and Business. They are likely selling card info to hackers.

Called my cellphone number claiming this is the final notice I will get before the IRS is going to take action against me. I had calls just a year ago, called the IRS and my accountant and was informed they would never call, it would be in writing, plus I knew I did not owe anything, I pay what I am suppose to.

A number from west palm beach florida had been calling me for a few days and was not leaving a message so finally i answered one of the times. They hung up so I called back and when i called back i was put on hold by an automated message and then a guy answered that had a very dramatic and bad southern accent. He said you have won a free trip from the contest you entered at the ice fishing show (i had been to one in milwaukee a month or two ago). When I questioned him and asked which show i had gone to he said new hampshire I believe and i said wrong. He then asked for which show it was and i didnt tell him. He wouldnt tell me what company he was from but said i had won a trip and a cruise. I told him not to call me back.
