- Nags Head, NC, USA • Aug 18, 2025

A company claiming to be CREST ANALYTICS CONSULTING LLC sent an invoice for nonexistent services. They sent a fraudulent invoice requesting $49,780 for "Operations involve comprehensive analysis, strategic planning and implementation of initiatives to boost innovation and growth inside the organization. We also provide marketing and business research and development Services from (April 1st - June 30th, 2025)."

- Detroit Lakes, MN, USA • Aug 18, 2025

Received an invoice from them for services we never agreed to and they never performed.

- Boston, MA, USA • Aug 17, 2025

I was forwarded an email chain with the former owner of the company, claiming that we owed $50,000 for Q1 consulting activities. The owner in question has not been involved in the company for three years now, and would not have engaged a consulting firm on our behalf. I some of the data analysis for this company and know we did not engage a consulting firm.

The email thread attempted to get me to pay the $50,000 at the request of my "boss," and gave their banking information for an ACH. The email looked legitimate until you paid attention to emails, and the fact that the owner listed is not involved in the company anymore.
