"CITIZENS: A Bill Payment of $40 to ***** ****** has been confirmed. If you do not recognize this transaction please visit (website)"

They wanted my personal information

Got a call from someone named Matsui Izumi from Wailuku, HI with no number showing on caller ID, saying that he's from the BBB and can help me with debt consolidation if I give him my credit/debit card numbers. He had my full name, address, DOB, and last 4 SSN. I verified with BBB that they don't cold call anyone and they don't offer debt consolidation services.

I did not click on the link embedded within the email. I figured it was a scam so I called the BBB Office in Anchorage and the receptionist told me it was indeed a scam because of the email address from which it was sent. The Case Number is where the link is provided. It doesn't show up in this email I am sending to the Scam Tracker as the Case Number is highlighted in blue as the link. I was not scammed but I am reporting this illegal activity to BBB.

I received a call from the same man 3 different times. He stated I had won a gift of $100,000.00 from the BBB. He said I would need to pay $95.00 in order to receive it. He then said I would have to call a number he would give me in NV so I could provide him with my financial information. I told him I knew this was a scam and to never call me again.

I logged on to HTTPS://BIT.LY/2Yl1JZFE because it said it was a under armour website and everything was at least 80%off so I ordered a lot on there and when it came to put banking info in it took me to this lady on pay pal to owe her $100. I've asked her multiple times to cancel my order since it was a scam and no response I've tried getting in contact with pay pal they said they can't do anything about it. I didn't want to pay for it since I read the comments and literally everyone on there tried to order stuff paid for it and never got there package. Uncalled for. The lady won't respond to me just took my money and ran. I closed my card after this happened and it still came through.

Received this email purporting to be from BBB.org. Is this a scam?

I work for an office in downtown Seattle and at 3:51PM PST, I received a call from a female from 1-800-110-4519, stating that she worked for the BBB and wanted to know if our office would be moving in the near future. She said she wanted to know this information for logistical planning purposes. When I told her we are not moving, she hung up. I tried calling back but no answer.

This is the email we received. The link in the email didn't lead to the bbb.org site.

Gentleman left a voicemail on my business number claiming I had a recent complaint for anyone to see and should call 800 number immediately to resolve.

As a member of the BBB, I received this email from someone claiming to be BBB. 

We have received repeated phone calls from various people claiming to be the ScamPulse.com. They are very pushy about asking for information about the business for their survey. The types of questions are inappropriate and would not apply to the BBB. They seem obsessed with the possibility of the company moving to a new location.

I received a call from someone that claimed to be with the BBB of Texas that claims that I was due a refund for the about of 299.99 but they sent a check with 2999.99. When I went to cash the check the bank instantly declined the check as it was bad. On my way home from the bank I saw a police officer and he talked to the person that called me and the officer told the person to not call me back and the person called me back shortly afterwards. When I was opening my phone the officer noticed it was the same person and said not to answer the phone and I dropped my phone and broke it. When I got home they were calling my home and I recognized the number and did not pick up for the multiple times they attempted to call me.

I got a call Monday and Tuesday. Monday was a voice mail. I talked to them. They said they were the BBB and a complaint had been made under my name. I could tell he was calling from a boiler room. They put me on hold and said a file was made.

This is to advise you that we, a government agency, have received several scam calls to our office from a Mr. Roland, 1-876-395-6457 (caller ID shows Kingston, Jamaica) stating the availability of a cashier’s check and wanting personal information.

 

This is obviously a scam.  Of additional concern is that Mr. Roland identified himself as being with the ScamPulse.com of Hawaii.
