This is the text received: I’m not sure if I responded that they wouldn’t have asked for money to get money

I'm Mr. Manuel Franco, the Powerball victor of $768 Million in Powerball Millions Major stake, click here to see my victorious gathering https://bit.ly/3SsjkEk

I'm providing for 200 sporadic individuals. If you get this message, your number was picked after a curve ball. I have spread a huge part of my overflow over different establishments and affiliations. I have tenaciously decided to give how much $50,000 USD to you as one of the picked 200, to check your prizes make an impression on the expert in charge. Here is the amount of the expert Erick Harrison in charge (409) 234-7090), text him for certification and movement of your winning.NOTE:FOLLOW All of HIS Rules SO YOU CAN GET YOUR Victorious IN THE Accompanying 24 HOURS. (409) 234-7090)

I received a text from powerball winner Manuel Franco. He was donating to 500 people $100,000 each. Before continuing I did a search on all the info given. Original number does not exist. A name if given but no such person exist Vielmad. There was also another number given

which is also a fraud. Do not do anything with Manuel Franco offering free money. ITS A SCAM

I got swindled by a romantic and lost $8,000 in crypto currency to a fake tether investment playtform,I reported to the police here in Deutchland but nothing was done.
Decided to try my hands on a private crypto tracking company although I had my doubts but I'm happy I didn't give into them.
I just got a text in my email from them that they've been able to track and get back my money.
I can now give my full nod on the legitimacy of this company.
I got in contact with them on their complaint link on mailxto.com/crw9ys where i Made my report.

Report entered on behalf of victim by BBB Employee: Victim received a call from 520-345-5848 impersonating the Better Business Bureau and that the victim requested an online form.

"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.
