The scammer called pretending to have a promotional offer from DIRECTV that could lower my monthly bill by 30-50%. After saying they could lower the monthly bill. They then said I qualified for a free iPhone, iwatch or tablet as a promotional offer. After asking, what was the catch for the offer they said they were competing with other Wireless companies because AT&T has been losing so many customers and they were making the offer to try and keep customers. They supposedly attempted to activate the device over the phone, but we’re not able to therefore told me I needed to go into the store to get the phone and tell them I want to add a line but do not activate the phone. Bring the phone home and they would complete the activation process. He kept insisting that I not activate the phone at the store. Which I thought was because they were getting some type of credit or points for them activating the phone. After getting the phone home, they said they would email me a label and I would mail the phone to them so they could activate the phone and mail it back to me. This is when I realize this was a scam. I told them it sounded like a scam and I was going to call AT&T and they said no don’t call AT&T. This is not a scam. We will mail you the phone back the next day, but I hung up and call AT&T. The representative typed up the encounter but AT&T did not know of any such offer. She made me aware that the call and text did not come from an 800 number whether it be 800 or 888. We also changed the pin for further protection. It should’ve been a red flag to me how the guy kept saying don’t get the phone activated at the store and basically not to say much to the sales person other than that I want to add a line. The scammer definitely had all the right things to say to the questions I asked.

The scam started with a text identifying a personal loan approval with an institution I had used in previous years. An individual named Joseph Marshall (628) 210-5664 from Lending Club Service called, provided me with the personal information they had on file to confirm my identity, and sent an email with loan information from [email protected]. After processing my information, he transferred me to a male named Austin Hall (415) 295-6062 and (415) 294-1768, who assumed the role of Lending Club Loan Officer, and he provided his identification number and confirmed my personal information. The scam identified a verification process that included going to Walmart and Walgreens. At these locations, they deposited money into my checking account. They asked that I use the deposited amounts to get prepaid cards (i.e., Walmart Pre-Paid or Apple Cards) to verify that my bank account was where the loan would be deposited. During the process, they requested that I stay on the phone because it was an FDIC requirement to record as part of the verification and transaction process. While interacting with customer service employees, they gave me prompts to avoid scrutiny. While conducting this transaction, they would send snippets via text message of the check, to include other loan information associated with Lending Club.

I was attemptong to get a refund on a flight booked through Expedia. A scammer intercepted my communication with expedia, sending me a form to fill out for my refund. They had all of my flight information, so it looked legitimate. I entered my credit card info for the refund and was billed a $400 USD fee and never received the refund

The scammer made up a fake Facebook page portraying a famous musician. My Aunt, who lives in a nursing home liked his page. She commented on a post and "he" told her to private message him. Thinking it was really Josh Turner she messaged him. He said he wanted a donation from her in the form of a gift card. She then told her granddaughter she needed her to take her to Dollar General to get a gift card for a friend. Thinking it was something out of the ordinary, the granddaughter refused.

Josh then asked for my Aunts phone number. She gave it to him. He called her over and over and she was convinced it was Josh Turner. She stated to me that " Yes it was really Josh Turner because I know his voice.

There were at least eight of these Josh Turner pages that are scammers all are foreigners trying to scam people.

I reported them and reported them and Facebook doesn't take them down.

There are at least five to every famous person on Facebook. The check beside their name means nothing.

My Cousin who actually takes care of FB pages told me none of the stars would actually reach out to an individual because it's against the rules for her to make comments on the pages she hosts for her Nashville musicians.

This person is using our address to pose as a farm and equipment sales facility.

They look semi legit I’ll give them that. Twice now people have shown up with printed spec sheets for equipment we are supposedly selling that we’ve never seen before let alone have. Both times the individuals had drove 5+ hours and unfortunately we look like the bad guys when we’ve got nothing for them.

Google is being semi unhelpful getting this pulled so fingers crossed somebody else can do something.

Dicks Sporting Goods Hoka running shoe sale appeared on Facebook marketplace. Ordered Hoka running shoes through their link which looked like a real Dicks Sporting Goods website. Placed an order and my credit card was charged $59.98 and the charge appeared as ROMORYWSUSDSTERLING CO USA. Tracking number provided with the order showed merchandise shipping from China to several locations in the US then finally after 2 months it is marked as "delivered" and nothing has in fact arrived.

Call said that there was an attempt to use my credit card in Texas. Asked if the charge was legit. I said no - asked to verify card number. Said a new card would be mailed at no charge. Afterwards went to telco account and this card is blocked. Then i received a text saying that the card was blocked and to call an 833 number which i did. Then i looked it up and found that it's on the ScamPulse.com scam tracker list. At least the card is blocked.

The code provided is part of our standard hiring process to track applicants and ensure consistency in our onboarding procedures.

I received a phone call on 1-31-2025 at 8:17am and was informed that I had a warrant for my arrest for not appearing on a federal or criminal jury duty case. The caller informed me that I had to pay $10,000 for a bond through wireless transfer so that I will not be arrested by the local police officers. The caller informed me that they were Leflore County Sheriff Department where James Payne was the sheriff. The caller stated that his name was Timothy Gregory. He also informed me that the money had to be sent through Bitcoin and that I needed to stay on the phone and not to hang up. I did as I was told out of fear of getting arrested. The money was borrowed from a very close friend to help me. The caller was a scam. I was informed by my wireless provider to fill out a claim with bbb.org/scamtracker and IC3.gov because these websites will potentially help me get my money back. The caller texted me from another phone number 616-226-3916. If you are receiving this type of call or receive a text from this number, please don't give them anything. Go to your nearest police or sheriff department to report it.

I wanted to cancel my Experian subscription so I googled the company and called the number attached to the website. I was charged a dollar to cancel my subscription which I thought was odd. I pulled up Experians number off the Experian app and realized that this was a completely different number. So I called and asked was there a cancellation already setup on my account and they had no idea. The number I called was 18885278724 a man named Travis who claimed to work cases for Experian is the person I believe is behind this. The number on the Experian app is 18883973742 I called this number and not only was my account canceled they sent confirmation that it was the legit Experian company. I would like this person or the number reported I have to cancel my credit card now in fear of this scam monitoring my account and robbing me blind. People should not be attacked online especially when there just trying to cancel a subscription.
