I applied for a few remote jobs on indeed and was emailed at one point, from who I believed to be a potential employer. They claim to work for SelectUSA and said they were looking for a remote customer service representative.

So they receive your resume, and invite you do an interview,

you do well and make it to the next stage.

They invite you back for a training session, and they forward you employment papers you are to have ready before the training. Your first day is a writing assignment, and after completing it, they request your information, mind you these are W2 forms and your bank account information. There is also a basic contract.

After this a cashiers check is sent to you for supplies you will need. they then email you, the man claims to be Jeff Ballinger, who is the fake companies accountant.

I called the bank from which the check was 'supposedly issued from', and they said it was fraudulent.

The intention is to force you to buy their software with the money they sent you, but that check is not real.

I have learned that If you send anything through email you regret you can phish it back, that reports it if they try to access that info.

I keep receiving phone calls from scammers saying that I owe money for a money loan that I do not owe them and they say that they are making a court case and a warrant will be put out for my arrest. This is not the first time I have went through this I went through this three years ago as well, and I took the claim directly to the police department in my neighborhood.

A person with a foreign accent (possibly Indian?) called my work phone number (caller ID: unknown number) and congratulated me on winning a personal government grant in the amount of $9,200. I had won the grant after being selected from a group of people that pay their taxes, have never filed for bankrupt, and want to pay off a student loan or other debt. I kept the person on the phone for as long as I could to waste their time. I said I preferred to use Western Union for money transfers and could easily reach one nearby. The person then said she needed to confirm my name and details for purposes of the grant. She had my first name correct but used my maiden name instead of my current last name. She asked for my last name, and I refused to give it to her. I then asked her to prove to me that she was from the government and that I had won a real grant. She started to explain, but I cut her off and stated that I thought it was a scam. She then hung up on me. A few hours later, I received another phone call (caller ID #: 207), with the same accent, who stated that he was from the government and I won a personal grant. When I told him that I needed proof, he stated again he was from the government and became agitated in speaking with me. I told him I had already received a similar call today and that it was a scam and I hung up on him. Another call came in a couple of minutes later (caller ID #: 103), but I did not answer.

There was an Instagram post/ad stating there was a one or two day sale, 90% off Ray-Bans. I almost made a purchase last night and I'm glad I didn't. I could be wrong, but it appears to be a fraudulent site, as it's no longer working today (only the main page, not any links you click). I don't know how much money they've already scammed from people, but they shouldn't be allowed to promote on Instagram unless they're a valid business. If social media sites need to have advertisements, the businesses should at least be vetted first!

Thank you for your time.

I was scrolling through Instagram and noticed that my friend had posted, and she hadn’t posted in a while. Her post was an ad for a website selling discounted Ray Bans for up to 93% off. I checked out the website and saw that there were no measurements or descriptions of the products sold and that the original sites did not match the original prices from the official Ray Ban site. Whenever I refreshed the page it seemed like some products would be added or deleted. I ended up concluding it was a scam since there was no certificate or privacy at the checkout page and that there was improper grammar at the “Contact Us” page. There was also no address on the page either. My friend also posted the same ad twice within the hour, so I concluded her account was hacked since she hadn’t posted in 2 years.

Received multiple calls and each time it left a voicemail that I will be taken into custody as there are four serious allegations on my name. It then said to call to discuss case before any legal action is taken against me. The area code originates from Milton, FL and I am in Atlanta, GA. The voicemail also starts as if it’s already halfway through, so whoever recorded it missed the beginning of their scam.

We received a check delivered by FedEx that screams scam. The return address on the envelope was from Wrathell Associates in Coconut Creek, Florida, phone # 516-531-3845. The address was legitimate but the name was shortened from Wrathell Hart Hunt & Associates and the phone # is in Farmingdale, New York with complaints against a Mr Edward who sends checks requesting part of the money be sent to another person. The check was from Revel Wine LLC in Oakland, CA, phone # 800-314-0296. Revel is a wine distributor we've never heard of before. They are legitimate but I could not verify their location. Their phone # is a mobile in India. The bank is Wells Fargo Bank, N.A. There is no logo or address for the bank and the routing numbers are not in correct sequence. There was no formal letter explaining why this check was issued, just an informal note torn from an 8.5x11 sheet of paper addressing 'Dear Sir or Madam' asking to 'verify the authentication of the package you have received...'. by sending a text to 'Head Of Payment Secure Department at 815-506-9675' providing full name, amount on the check, the check #, contact email and alternative cell phone #. We did not call any of the numbers, text them or deposit the check.

Her response was no, you know I don't drive, caller's response can you take a cab, her response was no, the caller then hung up. My mother is elderly and this scared her half to death.

A person claiming to be Vincent had a profile on Tinder with a photo of Vin Diesel. He asked that we talk on Google Hangouts. After talking for a little while and determining that he allegedly was Vin Diesel he asked me to donate to a charity so that I could get a free trip to Paris to a conference do that we could officially meet. The charity he referred me to was OneChild Founsation. (www.onechildfoubdstion.com).

On their site it said they were affiliated with Unicef and had an office in Edmonton.

I checked the government website and did a search fir the charity but they were not in it. Charities in Canada must be registered there.

After reaching out to them they send a verification code to "Vin Diesel" who sent it to me. At that point I send it back to the Foundation who asked me my donation. When I asked if I could send a cheque they said they could not do that. I told them I would use a credit card and they told me that function wasn't available at this time due to maintenance and that I was moneygram/western union the funds to Naomi Campbell in Nigeria.

The red flags were

1) why would Vin Diesel be on Tinder??

1) the phone number on the website was out of service,

2) I was to send my pledge by Moneygram/western union

3) I could not find the foundation in the revenue canada charity search. Any charity doing business in Canada must be registered there.

4) the charity was not listed on Vin Diesels personal website

5) internet search turned up nothing on this charity

6) how could a charity give someone a free two week trip to Paris fir their donation??

I received a phone call from an anonymous source asking to upgrade my Medicare information. When I told them that it was unusual for Medicare to make such a request by phone, they promptly ended the call. I received the call at 8:00 AM, on 5/24/17. The caller ID indicated 'Invalid Number'. The number on the Called ID was: 1-251-121-9351. The voice on the other end was a female, with a foreign accent.

Someone called me stating that they needed me to get 2-$1000.00 gift cards from Target because my grandson was embarrassed and was pulled over and was found to have marijuana in the vehicle. They told me that the gift card money to bail my grandson out of jail. They said they would call me back at 10:30 to give me further instructions on what to do with the gift cards because they couldn't handle the matter with a normal credit card.
