Scam Tracker report entered on behalf of victim by ScamPulse.com Employee: I received a call from 'my favorite scammer' asking for two more money cards -- one for $500 and one for $300. I told him I didn't have any more money and my credit cards were maxed out. He said he would pay off my credit cards and gave me this financial information:

Bank Name: Wells Fargo

Routing: 021200025

Account: 6615564157

Also another phone number: 776 262 1365

Once I get the cards I will be visited by two lawyers with papers for me to sign to receive my prize. Rest assured I will not get the money cards! I will stop by my local Wells Fargo and check out the bank account information.

I received an invoice, and I did not purchase this. I have been invoiced. I called 888-713-4911 and I told them I did not order this or even inquired about it. They asked me questions and then they sent me to the cyber division (Central cyber fraud division) I spoke to a Ben Frank and at 888-221-1161 but told me to call back to his direct line at 858-221-7917 after I get something figured out. He wanted me to go get a gift card from target in the amount of $ 500.00 and call him back. He said this would trap them after I saved it to my devise for them to take the money off the gift card. then he said we would be able to file a lawsuit and get the $ 500.00 back and plus money for my aggravation. I would not have to pay court fees etc. that they would handle all of that. Not even an hour goes by he called me back to see if I was able to get the gift card. Which was very suspicious to me. So, I looked up and this appears to be a scam. So now they have all my personal information etc. So, if I am correct, how do i take care of this? What do I need to do? I logged into my PayPal account, and it does not show that I have purchased anything or no invoices? I have removed my banking information and tried to close my account. However, I have $ .69 in foreign currency, I am unable to close my account with PayPal.

I got a call from Bank of America that someone was using my account and that they tried to send a Zelle for $1400. Then she transferred me to Zelle fraud departmen (877-369-7806) ext 202 with Joe Gonzalez. They ask me to log in and gave me an email with my name, and last name @myself.com and ask me to put in a code so they could cancel the transaction. Turn out to be that the code was the amount of money they wanted to transfer. I called the bank and they told me it was a scam so we stop the transaction.

The number called 3 times so I picked up the third time. The person talked really fast and mumbled. She told me that she was us bank calling about my card being declined. Asked me if I had spent a thousand something dollars at Disney corporation I said no, asked me if I spent a thousand something dollars at Walmart I said no. Asked me if I had told the bank I would be traveling to Florida, I said no. Asked me I was in Florida traveling, said no. She assured me they would send a new card to me to “the address on file” never told me that address. I thought to ask but by then I was looking at my bank and none of those transactions had happened and that statement was enough to prove this was a scam, never told me the address or ask me to confirm it? And then asked me if I preferred fedex or ups? I said I didn’t care. She never told me which she chose, just that my new card would be to me in 5-7 business days. I said ok, she asked me to confirm the last 4 digits of my phone number and then tried to send me a text with information in it. I didn’t hear what info that was. Never got a text. She tried 6 times to send the text, “rebooted her system” and then told me to retry mine every time. At this point I hung up and never received another phone call or text. Not sure what other information she would have asked for but she didn’t seem to know anything but my phone number that she called me on and my name which would be easy to look up in public systems. Everything was too vague, she was rude if I misheard her. Never said the money I “lost” would be reimbursed or what address she “had on file” didn’t tell me it was us bank until after she asked to confirm my name and asked how I was doing.

Trying to get my $150 back that I spent on some products for a buddy. Said buddy had some lady send me $150. The email from “ zelle” said that she had to send me an additional $350 because my account “was not a business account and has a limit” so I believe she sent a 2nd set of $350. ( I have emails .) The Zelle “team” emailed me back saying, I have to send 2 payments of $350 ( worth $700 ) and we would get credited immediately ( we would both get our money back ) I sent first $350 then they said I would get credited $900 after I sent the second set of $350 (the 2 sets of $350 plus the $150, then a $50 from management for taking so long. ) Then I get emails from “the FBI” With an email address from Zelle Pay, and a “Thanks from Zelle team” at the bottom as the closing.

[email protected] that is said email I sent the first $350 to.

They say I have to send $700 to get $900 back.

I posted a lawnmower for sale on Facebook marketplace and the scammer contacted me to purchase it and pay it with Zell. She then sent me a letter from Hazel stating she had to add another $250 because it was above her allowed amount and once, she sent proof that she sent the additional money. She was to send that information to me and have me refund her the money back through Zell. I tried numerous addresses to return the money to her and it wouldn’t work so she gave me her husband’s Venmo account, and I sent it to a Michael McVay . This gentleman did not follow through so the money is still at Venmo and they will not return it to me. I found a number for Zell fraud and I called it but apparently it was a scam number and they got me to transfer money to crypto.com stating that my Bank accounts had people trying to hack into them and I had to protect them so they had me do two transfers, one for $1000 and the second one for $999. Then they had me go to Walmart and get to Apple $500 gift cards and to target stores and got three target gift cards that amounted to $1995 And had me scratch the numbers and send them pictures so that they could catch the hackers as they try to retrieve them. I was stupid. They had me in such a frenzy, and when I questioned what they were doing, they just kept saying, ma’am, you contacted us for help and that’s what we’re trying to do . They also had me wire $4500 from another bank account but luckily I was able to contact the bank and they were able to retrieve that back.

The scammers started with phone calls. Today my family member received a letter with Bank of America header saying a card for a small business had fraudulent usage. He has no such business or card. They are wanting a copy of photo ID and all info personal and business. Plus sent forms to fill out. My family member is smart enough to know this is a scam and he just wanted to inform you about it.

A male (no name given) called my mother saying he was from Regions Bank and that her account had been compromised and she needed to pay $500. He asked for her social security number which she gave the full number and he asked for her email which she gave. He then asked for her bank account number but thankfully she did not give it to him and when questioned why he needed that..phone call ended. She has since contacted her Regions bank and had debit and credit cards to be issued with new numbers.
