Thought you should know a AI fake ad showed up on Facebook a couple minutes ago.

It's a picture of David Eby, announcing a British Columbia cryptocurrency release of CanCurrency (I believe they called it) in response to Trump tariffs. They had a reporter interview showing David Eby being very excited about the early release.

All sorts of fake pictures of transactions with wild claims of profits.

The ad disappeared before I could screenshot it.

Pretty disgusting.

Type of a scam Government Agency Imposter

I was contacted by Messenger from a supposed government employee of the Workmen's Compensation Division. Collins Williams also contacted me. They asked me to send them the money through Apple cards - $59,790.00. I sent it to Mary Thomas. I sent them and they want me to send $300 more to them through the Apple cards. I quit sending them money a while ago. They wanted me to send them money for a truck. It all started on April 7, 2023. Then I decided to give ScamPulse.com a call to tell about it.

Senior citizen (fully competent) receives a letter allegedly from the United States Marshal’s office (see below). Letter indicates her account is involved in money laundering and she needs to call a number. She calls it and is told she is either a defendant or, if she’s innocent, she can prove it by helping the Marshals. She is told to establish a mail box. (Don’t know why, I didn’t get this info. and don’t know if the mailbox was ever used.) Ultimately, the victim “helps the Marshal’s” by (1) wiring 146K to Hong Kong, and (2) sending cash (guess is around 80-100K each time) either in the mail (the term used) or via UPS (what I suspect) to a CVS in Va with the note “Books-hold for pickup, Kevin Parker” and a Michael’s store in Plano Texas, with the note “Books-hold for pickup, Gary Jackson.” Following that, she met a man on St. Simon’s Island, Ga. (where she lives) and gave him $50K cash.

Person called and left a message stating he was a sergeant at the Coconino County Sheriffs office. knew personal information about military service, employer, address, what was received in our mail. Stated that there was 2 charges, one for failure to appear and the other was contempt of court, and each charge was a certain amount that we owed. Three different amounts were sent through Zelle and Cash App. Then the scammer was wanting a bitcoin account and other accounts opened, trying to get more money transferred from credit cards. Threatened that a sheriff would come and make an immediate arrest if payment was not made. Eventually just hung up due to getting more and more suspicious the longer there was engagement, by then it was too late and money was sent. Both Zelle and Cash App will not help with scams and lost money.

The letter was detailing an Employer Identification Number (EIN) Amendment - Form 6593 via the US Corporate Classifications.

"Dear business entity. This letter is to inform you that upon further examination of your Employer Identification Number (EIN), an incorrect business code was used to describe your primary business activity. It is important to ensure that your business code accurately reflects the nature of your business for proper classification and compliance purposes. Complete this amendment and return by the due date. This will not change your EIN, and you may continue to use your EIN."

The form then asks for PII data such as name, email, phone number, then asks multiple yes / no questions about the business, a brief description of the services offered by the business, and then will ask for check / money order to US Corporate Classifications along with signature and date.

I received what appeared to be a federal form in the mail "Form 6593" titled "Employer Identification Number (EIN) Amendment" that instructed my business to "return completed form in provided envelope" and "include check for $107 to US Corporate Classifications". The letter states: "Dear business entity. This letter is to inform you that upon examination of your Employer Identification Number (EIN), an incorrect business code was used to describe your primary business activity. It is important to ensure that you business code accurately reflects the nature of your business for proper classification and compliance purposes. Complete this amendment and return by the due date. This will not change your EIN, and you may continue to use your EIN." The form proceeds to ask for personal identity information and information about my business. This company is impersonating the federal government, attempting to steal money from newly formed businesses, and should be shut down.
