My mother received the following phone call "Grandma this is your grandson, but they used his real name. I am out of state and have been in a car wreck, my nose is broke, I had to have stitches and I got locked up can you go to the bank and send me $1000 to get out of jail. 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.

The phone number was unknown

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.

Received prerecorded message that I let go to VM. It said this is an emergency call. All of your Windows Microsoft services have been suspended. You need to call and take action. This happened right after I refused to let Norton Antivirus renew my subscription which I did not authorize when I purchased the original year. Norton never gave me the option to affirmatively consent or not to these automatic renewals with price hikes which I found out later was hidden in the fine print which is not acceptable. Therefore, I notified my credit card company not to allow the charges.  I also requested an Advertising Review be done by the ScamPulse.com under the Code of Advertising, Principle #18.4 - Negative Option Plans, Continuity Plans and Automatic Shipments.

This guy has at least 10 different profiles on FB with various names, all include McGhee. Mchghee Michael, McGhee Scott, etc. all using the same photos. He befriends women, claims to be on deployment in Africa & asks for money. I have reported all the profiles to FB but the response I received was that I must just block him if I don't like his content.

I got a call, the woman on the line was "fixing" her head set asked if I could hear her. The voice sound authentic and I didn't think twice to say yes. Eventually I realized it was a recording and that I had read about a similar scam. Please let me know what steps to take to prevent me from losing any money.

I wanted to report that I received a call this morning at 10:19 on my cell phone from 402-253-0533. I've heard about this being a scam and it caught me off guard. The lady acts like I can't hear her and when she calls me by my first name, she asked if I could hear her. I responded yes and then she began telling me about car insurance. I immediately hung up.

Someone called my mom's phone number and left a message that said a warrant had been issued for her arrest because she had committed fraud to the IRS, although they didn't use her name. The message said to call 240-293-4764 for more information about the warrant. The same number showed up in caller id. There was no attempt to take money since she didn't call the number back.

I received a call at my work in Los Angeles from someone in Colorado. This man had a heavy indian accent asking if this was "First name, Last Name." I said yes and the person on the line hung up. I looked this number up and the phone line is a scam.

Many people have complained about the same issue, so I'm concerned that my personal information/credit card info is at risk.

I received a call from the number listed above. The recorded message asked, "can you hear me?" I believe this was an attempt to get me to say "yes," so they could record it, and use it to commit fraud.
