Person called from the TD customer service number that appears on the back of my debit card claiming to be a representative of the fraud department. Asked for the last 8 digits of my card number, said they were going to send me a code to verify the dispute and to tell him the code when I got it. Of course the text with the code says never to share it, but I thought I was talking to the bank. The final straw was when he asked me to verify my SSN. I wish it hadn’t taken me that long to catch on.

My fiancé called the bank while I was on the phone and they said to hang up because they don’t even call for fraud cases, they send a text.

They called me again a few months later and when I said it was odd they called me because they don’t usually call customers for fraud they hung up. It’s amazing what people will do.

I was contacted by a person who claimed to be with Wells Fargo fraud department. The individual advised me to go to the bank and withdraw $15000 in 100 dollar bills. I was given an address to deposit them: 3601 East 4th Stree Long Beach CA 90814. Big mistake on my part because the was not a place that good business wouod be done. I was to decosit the money in a bitcoin machine. I totally freaked out because this was not anything that Wells fargo wouod have had me done. I have blocked out the details of this incident because it is so upsetting. I lost $11000.00 and was stopped putting money in bitcoin by someome who recognized this as a scam. Person called police in long Beach #1140 dispatcher.

I am 83 years old. I received a call this morning from a man, Richard Parker, who said he worked for Amazon headquarters in Washington. He said five accounts had been opened in my name. then he said there were form Ohio, Pennsylvania and Florida. He said one account was charged $1500 and another for $27,000. He asked me if I had an Amazon account or an Amazon card. I replied no. Then he asked where I bank, I said Chase. Then he asked how many Chase accounts do I have and who else has access to the accounts. I told him no, and asked for a number I could call him back at, and he hung up. I called the phone number which appeared in my caller ID, but it did not work. He had an accent, like Indian. I had to ask him to repeat everything he said. He sounded very professional. I was on the phone for about 5 minutes.

I wanted to share a scam that happened to our company. We are a towing company and we got a call to do a tow for a man named Randy. His number is 980-334-8451. This is a number on an Ap called TEXTNOW. He did not use a real phone number, however we were unaware of this at the time. He asked if we could transfer some rebar (metal construction pieces) from ****** ***** ******* *** Mt Vernon Street in Lowell MA to *** ***** **** ****** West Bridgewater MA.

He was extremely friendly and paid for the transaction by credit card. Everything went like it normally does, except he was not on scene when we were to drop the equipment. There were 2 of his co-workers on scene and they told us where to unload the load. We were not too concerned because of his mannerisms when dealing with him.

One week later I was informed that the credit card was stolen and it was a fraudulent transaction. I am loosing $535.00 because of this. I know there were things I could have done to prevent this, but I just wanted to make someone aware.

Rebecca claimed to be with the FBI and DHHS. She said we won 100,000 but had to pay 1000 for fees. She claimed that my sister Marty Smith was on board and has hacked her Facebook account. they were determined that we pay the 1000 now or the Fedex package with the money could not be distributed. Rebecca kept messaging me for over 2 hours trying to get her 1000. I have informed my sister that she has been hacked. This is horrible in our society that someone would prey on the elderly,.

A person called on the hotel phone at the ******* ***** ***** ** **** ** ******** ****** ** *****) that my son was spending weekend in (3/10/23-2/12/23) and told him it was the front desk and that they needed his credit card number. He gave it. Then they asked for his address, which he gave. Then my son went down to the front desk because they asked about the credit card number under which the room was booked and he didn't have it (it was mine). The front desk said that they didn't call. At that time, he cancelled his credit card, but it was too late because $250 was charged to his account (to a Pizza hut express **** ********* **** ***** **** ******** *** *****). Neither Discover or the Hotel would take responsibility and my son is out $250. He is a college student with limited funds. The hotel later slipped a note under his door (and I am assuming others) and warned not to give out your credit card over the phone - a bit late for that. My son asked for compensation from the hotel and they said no. My husband called today and they again said that they are not taking responsibility. I feel that since the hotel let someone use an in-house hotel phone that they are responsible. Is this accurate?

I received a call yesterday from two Asian men: Richard White and Matthew Green. They said they were calling from Amazon. Someone had tried to purchase a laptop, and some phones for $3800 using Amazon account. They said they would take it off my account. Then they asked what kind of car I drive. And they asked if I knew anyone who lived in New York. I asked how I would know this is true. Then he connected me to the second man who asked whether I was buying or renting my home. He said the call was confidential. He asked: "What did you say your Social Security number was again?" I said I hadn't given him my Social Security number. So then he said he didn't need the whole number just the last 4 digits. I gave him the last 4 digits. He asked me to go to Kroger and and buy gift cards using my debit card. I told him I wasn't dressed. He said he would stay on hold until I get to Kroger's. I told him I was not going, he became frustrated and hung up. He knew my name and address.

I got a call saying my account has been hacked and they would help me fix it so they had me download an app called view the team view and they had me check my bank statements they did know my bank accounts numbers and the amounts in each account and they said that they found it the hack and that it was a $25,000 charge That was going to China and that they sent me that the bank sent me a notification did I make this transaction and someone pressed one saying yes I did but I never received any of that. They really had me going, but when they said that they could not stop my account to stop the transaction they gave me some story that I needed to OK another $25,000 so it would be a duplicate account and then they could stop the payment by the time I had gotten on my other phone and I called my bank to see if these people my name worked there and she said absolutely not so then I knew I got a problem, so I’ve been in touch with my banks and had everything frozen, but I am still concerned about my identity because they had access to my computer where I do everything Anyway, if you have any suggestions on what else I may be able to do to protect myself, I would appreciate it. Thank you so much.
