Phishing email with links and a download. Call this number 813-776-1430 if you did not make this purchase, or go to this website, etc. Graphics in email are terrible, and phone number is from some dude in Florida. I did not click on anything, nor did I call the number.

Be careful!. Just received a scam from the following phone number : 4036709155 and e-mail: [email protected].

They offer you some promotion but actually they will take your credit card and steal your identity and money.

It looks like the Geek Squad at Best Buy, and it's telling me that my subscription with Geek Squad will renew today for $389.99. I DON'T have a subscription to Geek Squad, and I certainly didn't authorize anything be taken out of my account!! I then got a follow-up email that stated this amount had been taken out of my account, and the amount was for $399.99 ($10 more than the amount first stated)!! As of today, my account has not been charged, but I don't like that I received this email, and I don't know what the full ramifications are!

Opened up email and it said an invoice was attached and the invoice said the amount of $1,209.00 has been processed successfully on your credit card. No number listed. If you have any ?s call support helpline at 2506-445-0699

I called and it was a foreigner and I could not hear good because a lot of talking in background He said he could not give me the credit

card # that it was charged to so I hung up.

I found an ad on Facebook for a 55’ smart tv and it took me to a website that claimed to be Best Buy. I paid for the item and received the confirmation email but never received any response after that. I replied to them multiple times after the 89.99 came off my debit card!

The scammer said that they were with Best Buy and my purchase was ready and ask for credit card for $300+.

The caller was international. When I told them I was with a company they quickly hung up. The call came in from 337-233-1721 which I called back and of course it was not a working number.

Spammer screenshot another companies ad and modified it to make a click bait type scam. There was no way to opt out of the email without clicking the modified image. Modified image led to an unsecure webpage:http://aoalapopaouzdhsjfysdufysduifgydjhg.servemp3.com/Vi9MeTZMYzJ3R2VMb...⇄ />

Received an unwanted spam ad that I could not opt out of from: [email protected]. The spammer had screenshot a companies advertisement, modified it, and then resent the image out as a click bait type of spoofing/phishing scam. The ad claimed to be a prize for a playstation 5 if you took the survey. It appeared that you could opt out on the image but in reality if you clicked the image the browser redirected to an unsecure website: http://jiki.bounceme.net/cl/457757_md/29/196596/13874/1132/855958

I received a text message saying I purchase something from Best Buy. I immediately called the number on the text. They said I purchased antivirus software. they gave me the name of the purchaser which was probably a false name. they asked me if I wanted to cancel I just said yes. And then tried to ask him what payment was made they told me they couldn’t disclose that information and mentioned that they were recorded by the ScamPulse.com they then hung up on me. when I tried to call back I was unable to

Best Buy was caller name. Voice message stated 1099.00 was charged on my Amazon account. The call came in at 8:32 a.m. March 22, 2021. I checked Amazon account no charge has been made for that amount. Obviously a scam.

aMy brother-in-law went to the website wwwbmwnbb.com and purchase an item from the site. They call him after the first payment was submitted and say the payment didn't go through so they told him to run a checkout again. Then told me that didn't go through so I gave

them my debit card over the phone which then they ran it two times after the initial two payments. So I was charged $99 four times. Once he realized this was a scam he tried to contact Paypal to have the transaction cancelled. He had a difficult time understanding what the Paypal representative was asking of him because of the reps heavy accent. In desperation he contacted his bank and didn't get anywhere there because the transaction was done with a debit card through Paypal and the bank was not responsible for the charges/fraud. That's when he went to me to ask for help. Since I work as a computer consultant and am very familiar with purchasing online as we scammed myself last year I assisted him in getting a refund from Paypal. Initially Paypal "dispute resolution" favored the seller/scammer, because Paypal concluded the shipment was delivered. Obviously the seller lied to Paypal and sent Papal some bogus proof that they sent the shipment to my brother's address and Paypal believed them. Then when I showed Paypal the real Intranet tracking report and it showed it was going to a different address, same city but different address, Paypal changed their mind and said for the first transaction out of the 4 transactions would be refunded. We'll wait and see. In the meantime I'm arguing with Paypal because they want me to go through the same process with the other 3 bogus transactions. Which any smart individual would deem this is a waste of time since the merchant is a scammer and already show that they lied. So Paypal is just hoping that buyer like my brother would just give up and go away. Paypal is not taking the responsibility for making it so easy for scammers to accept payment over the Internet without little proof of identity.

Their email for each transactions

Paypal is not easy to deal with. Their setup makes scammers get fund easily because the scammer change email addresses often on their fake website so Paypal have a difficult time of tracking them. The scammers know the Paypal process for "dispute resolution" so they circumvent around the system and whatever Paypal fraud detection if they have any is not picking up these spike but stop these scammer from massively taking in payments one transaction at a time. The scammer generate a first class mail to obtain and report shipment using tracking number through USPS, UPS, and FedEx but mostly USPS because a first class mail is the least expense way they can pay for a shipment with a tracking number. They'll reuse at least USPS tracking numbers to reduce their "operating cost" because the USPS system doesn't have the mechanism to disable a tracking number once it as been used. So the scammers use the tracking number over and over again or until the tracking number becomes bad or expires.

This is one reason why people are receiving "Chinese seed packets" but they could be receiving any number of small packages or questionable mail just so the tracking number will show that the item is "deliver" to the city of the buyer. That's what Paypal uses to deem that the seller properly sent a shipment. A tracking number showing that it was delivered to the intened city. At this point Paypal will favor the seller as a completed transaction. Now whether you get a box of rock or our item, Paypal doesn't care. That become a dispute between you and the seller. At this point they prefer to wash their hands off of this transaction. Initially the tracking system of a package in only shows that it's received to the city and no specific data shows it went to the actual intended address. You'd need to request an Intranet report at least through USPS to show that the tracking number is going to a different street address. In this case we receive three tracking number all showing that it was "delivered" to the correct city. But the Intranet reports showed it went to three different street addresses.
