I just got an email from this organization this morning claiming to be a bill for an HOA fee for the month of August. The first obvious red flag is that we don't have any HOAs in my neighborhood, but bill and especially the website look VERY legit.

The website claims that they have been trusted by communities since 1985. Yet, after a little research, I found that their domain name was just registered on July 19, 2025 (probably the biggest red flag that this is a scam).

Rec'd email forwarding an PDF invoice for R&D consulting services and executive coaching engagement.and said that my boss had asked for it to be sent to me for payment. We never ordered anything like this. I didn't open the PDF and since I didn't want to save it to my pc, am unable to upload it.

It came from:

I received an email with an invoice attached with our company name put in there. They said and showed me an email chain of our president referring for the scammer to contact me to pay for an invoice for strategic initiatives for Q1 2025. The strange thing about the email was that he used Crest Analytics Consulting LLC, 1901 Pennsylvania Avenue Northwest, Washington, DC 20006, which looks to be a real company, but his emails show to be [email protected] and he used another email where he used [email protected]. Those are the red flags. Completely fake. Basically asked for $49,780. Hope this helps someone.

I received an official-looking letter from my "Lender." They knew the amount of my Home Equity Loan and the name of the bank - PSECU. They also listed a Mortgage ID number, but I don't think that is correct. They say, "We have been attempting to contact you regarding a matter of importance. Please Call 1-800-516-1090." I googled the phone number and it turned up on scam lists.

- Elyria, OH, USA • Aug 07, 2025

A PDF invoice for "...analysis, strategic planning..." was sent with the following email:

The detailed breakdown is provided in the thread below. If it’s possible to complete the payment today, that would be greatly appreciated. Please let us know your expected timeline.

Details from an earlier email in the thread:

Was this originally sent to [email protected] (a valid email from our company) as discussed during setup? Just want to make sure it went to the right place.

If not, could you forward it there when you get a chance?

Could you kindly confirm whether payment has already been issued? If not, we would be grateful if you could provide an estimated timeline, as the amount has been outstanding for some time.
