The scammers logged into my DoorDash account and made a purchase at a Best Buy and cash app allowed it even though my account only had 50$

So my debit card was charged which makes me be at a negative status now.

My DoorDash account was immediately deactivated after that transaction.

I was contacted by email by someone called Luana from PayPal, that they received payment for a Bitcoin purchase in the amount of $527.49 USD. (Was how it was worded)

My PayPal account was previously suspended because of a scam, and the account is now inactive, therefore I believe this to be another scam

I would like for PayPal to be contacted about this incident on my behalf

Scammer wrote multiple fraudulent checks from my Citizen's bank checking account, using my name, account number, but incorrect routing number, however the checks were still able to go through. Of note, I do not have a check book with that home address on it so I am unsure how they were able to forge the checks. I filed a report with Citizen's bank on 3/17/25, but the scammer ended up writing 4 more checks and overdrew my account on that same day.

I lost my wallet with my birth certificate, SSN, and bank card in it. I received a letter from IRS a couple of weeks ago that someone filed taxes in my name. I don't know who found my wallet here in Memphis, TN but is using my information to file for their taxes, and possibly other credit things. I reported it to IRS, and SSA and received all new cards, but the IRS also suggested I tell ScamPulse.com for my credit, and Identity used.

On 2/23/2026 an unrecognized and unauthorized charge posted to my credit card account. The charge was declined because the charge card had previously been replaced. The merchant that submitted this transaction used the previous credit card number. The ONLY merchant that had this number was not a real merchant, but an entity or person that uses purchased software to generate different entities like "Serner Company", "Venstore", "Decline Defense",

"EcomGuard", etc. The latest Unauthorized transaction that was declines on my credit card has a "merchant" name of "Mfuture" which attempted to charge my credit card $34.95. My hunch is that this virtual merchant is "Venstore" These virtual merchants are controlled by fraudsters who can operate from anywhere in the USA to offer bogus products that are advertised to deceiver consumers into believing that the falsely advertised product is something they need or want. I have published this latest comsummer scam tactic with the ScamPulse.com scam tracker. I can upload this report if needed to the CFPB website to corroborate this report.

I was mailed an unsolicited cash app debit card. Someone stole my information and made an account with my name ssn and address. I contacted cash app and they asked me to email them pictures of the front and back of the card otherwise they cannot deactivate this account. To me that feels very shady. I asked them to just verify my name and the 4 last digits of the card to deactivate it and they say they cannot do that without the pictures. If I send pictures, how can I guarantee someone in the other end is not activating the card? I also contacted Sutton bank who issued the card and they are impossible to get a hold of. Over all, cash app seems like it is in on this scam or at least they are not being helpful to have this rectified by closing this account and mailing me a paper copy stating it was closed.

Someone opened up a fraudulent business using my name and address on the California Secretary of State website. They also created an Employer ID number with the IRS. I have received numerous credit card offers in the mail for this company in my name. I also received a letter from the Franchise Tax Board telling me they need more information from me because this company would be receiving returns for the prior year. I do not know how these people received my information or how they were able to open a business in my name.

My home was broken into and all of my identity documents were stolen. Identity fraud took place after that. My home was broken into and 3 notebook PC's were stolen and 15 Samsung Galaxy Fold Z phones were stolen. Also clothes and journals were stolen. I have become really frightened about losing so much money.

It is a huge hardship for me. I had mail fraud and bank fraud in large amounts.

I received a Verizon bill in the mail for new service for Unlimited Welcome plan and a new iPhone 16 Pro for $135.01 per month. I did not open this account. I have another companies phone service, and have not had a Verizon account for years. The account that was opened misspelled my first name. I guess Verizon didn’t bother to realize that. No one answers at the number the new phone is under, and says voice box has not been setup. I called Verizon and advised them that this was not me. They advised me to file a fraud report with them and file a police report and submit it to them. I went to the local sheriffs office and they filed a report and they advised me to also file a report with the FBI. I have had to freeze all my accounts, and change passwords as my identity has been stolen. I have not yet received the police report, but have a report number. Gave this to Verizon, but that is not sufficient enough as they need a copy of it. So frustrating that Verizon allowed someone to open an account with a new phone in my name. Don’t they verify with a drivers license or something.

I received a call from my bank this morning, this person got into my bank account and attempted to wire 450.00 from my bank account to him. This was the second time he attempted to do this, the first time he tried to book airline tickets from Delta Airline for 400.00, he also went into my account and changed my alerts to off. My bank notified me by text and I was able to change it. My bank called me this morning to ask me if I was in Miami, which I wasn't. We had to changed my security info in my bank acct. He was able to get his info and notified the Miami police, and we are taking action against him.
