I tried to pay my credit card and noticed there was a charge for $179.84. I called my bank for more info and was told the charge was from Greenwood Hardware In North Carolina. I called the number that was on my statement and it was just a customer service line and I was told I was was charged because I entered a chance to win a PlayStation 5. I do have not entered any sweepstakes so I do not know how they got my information.

I have been the victim of postal identity theft. I believe this is a form of a brushing scam. With my situation though, the items are being shipped to various addresses across the country, using my name and address on the return label. This makes it difficult or impossible for me to refuse delivery of the packages. There is no invoice inside the packages or any indication of where they were actually shipped from. They also use an overseas shipping partner who is the first shipper, then it is shipped by USPS. Tracking data shows the items being mailed from my zip code. The post office tells me that they cannot determine where the packages originate. I have received about 10 packages so far. I have filed claims regarding identity theft with the postal inspectors office and with my local police department. I have not had any bank accounts hacked and have not lost any money in this scam. they just continue to use my full name and mailing address to ship packages. The items are cheaply made products - t-shirts, sports jerseys, caps, phone case. The post office has not provided a solution to this problem. I was initially keeping the items for evidence, but they were piling up and the post office said I can just toss them. I still have some of the tracking numbers for the items, and case numbers for the reports I have filed. When I reported it to the post office, one of the customer service reps documented the tracking numbers I provided.

I was on the Duolingo app. An advertisement popped up for a free app. I clicked on the advertisement a QR code appeared on the screen. I tapped on it. I later figured out when I tapped on the QR code my personal banking debit information was captured. I was signed up for a subscription with fraavy.com without my authorization. Later on in the day I noticed a debit to my account for $49.95. I initially thought it was the app with the free trial. I later found out the fraavy.com surreptitiously stole my personal information when I tapped on the QR code and subscribed me to a bogus site. Be really careful with these sites. I noticed many people have been scammed by this company that steals your information via QR codes.

I was approached by this company because I was having issues with my computer and email. They offered to help, but instead I lost my passwords and cannot retreive them because they use a "remote". I have put this on a credit card and the bank thought it was fraud. The bank issued a new credit card x2. Now I am working on a third one. Please help and dispute this claim. Would like this company taken off my computer.
