Scam entered by ScamPulse.com employee. ScamPulse.com received a call from a consumer claiming they received a letter via email from Michael Sedio, VP and Chief Operating Officer at ScamPulse.com regarding a recent scam he was a victim of. The consumer lives in Atlantic City, NJ. He explained that he was originally contacted by a 'Geek Squad' imposter initially claiming that he had a membership with them. The Geek Squad imposter gained his confidence as an alleged member and gained access to his computer.

Sept.19,2022 after 11am received call from Mike at Better Business Bureau. Private number shown on phone. He said he was investigating if I had received any calls from sweepstakes like publishers clearing house etc. I said I had received some from publishers clearing house and also Mega Millions regarding being a prize winner. I said I had contacted Publishers and gave them the information I had. The mega one I hung up on. He gave me a security code US951-BB. and his phone of 716-754-6769 in case I thought of anything more. I called your NJ Office and was told the ScamPulse.com does not call anyone.

What I'm pointing out is that ScamPulse.com may have an intrusion on your servers that you need to pursue. Received this email this afternoon. It is from your server but I believe it to be bogus.

This was not a scam that was carried out. It was a scam attempt. My business has received emails similar to this before. All previous emails were bogus and were, ultimately, an attempt to obtain money from our company. So the personal scam information, below is not relevant.
