One artist on instagram asked me if she can have one of my pictures for a project with her client, and I would also get paid for that. Since I was always interested in art, I accepted without knowing it was a scam.

They said for the transaction, they would only need "my real name and email address". Then their client will send me a "fraud check" which is fake money, through email, I was also told to save the check and deposit it through mobile deposit. After I deposited the money, they ask me to send them back a few amount like 200-600$. But since their check is not real, I was basically sending my OWN MONEY to them and I got scrammed of 700$.

On October 19 2023 I got an offer from someone wanting to buy one of my NFTs for above my asking price. On November 6 2023 I saw the message and responded, and the supposed buyer directed me to a transaction page specifically of that NFT. While everything looked like a typical Makersplace page (Makersplace.com is the website I hosted the NFT on), I did notice that the root url was "makersplace.pro," and "makersplace.store", which I thought was a little weird, but when I would type in just those root urls it would take me to the normal makersplace.com home page. So I assumed it was just another domain under the Makersplace umbrella. I was told on the transaction page that in order to complete AML certification I had to link funds equal to the buyer's offer from my wallet to the transaction page, so 1 ETH. But because of an error I had to do that twice. I completed the transaction and "AML certification" on November 10, and support told me the buyer's funds would appear in my Metamask wallet within 48 hours. It's been over 48 hours (though most of that wasn't business days) and I still haven't seen any funds, so I am confident I have been scammed out of 2 ETH. Checking on the Makersplace Discord, I've found screenshots from "buyers" that use the same wording in their messages and direct to very similar webpages with different web suffixes like I noticed. The transaction pages I was directed to are below, though they are now offline:

https://transaction.makersplace.pro/confirm/neon-glisten

https://transaction.makersplace.store/confirm/neon-glisten

I have screenshots of the conversation and transaction page with the supposed support agent. I also have screenshots of the crypto exchange logs and have written down the transaction IDs and the crypto wallet address that the funds were sent to. I can send them in as part of this scam complaint submission, but I'm having trouble using the file upload feature on the website. I'm also hoping informing the authorities about the scam will help prevent scams like this in the future. I'd very much appreciate any help you can give me on this subject, especially in the area of recovering my lost funds. Thank you for your time.

I received an Instagram request from someone called Emmeuro with a Instagram account of tammy_cliffwebstar1 ~ here is the following message that was attached:

My name is Tammy Cliff Webster the Illinois lottery winner of $393million,Ready to help the 1st 2kfollowers like I promises watch me on YouTube

That is exactly as it was typed. I saved a screen shot of the page. Of course I fell for the first part in responding. Then had sense enough to search for the couple and found the scam part. That is why I'm reporting it to you.

Hello, I contacted this person to purchase one of their vehicles. He stated he is a dealership, he meets people in variety of places in intersections and near his home in Canal Rd and Garfield Rd Clinton Township as well as a mechanic shop on 19 mile rd and Garfield Clinton Township. He emphasizes he is a business in Instagram (https://www.instagram.com/auto__eno/) and Facebook (https://www.facebook.com/people/auto__eno/100081992914618/). He has sold many cars as well as one to one of my friends. He gave me limited warranty on the vehicle, when the car broke down. He did not honor the warranty and i could not find any business records for him. I think this is a big potential scam as its is active and still going on.

October 22,2023 I ordered on Instagram flash sale; 3 bottles of Keto gummies at $39.99. I was charged $239.99 ! on my Visa. First charge was declined, second charge went through under a different company name; they us multiple names. I called the number on my account, a lady whom i didnt get her name asked if i had reported it to my bank. I said yes, then she said the money was re-imbursed back to my me and my account was closed, Customer # 195; it will take 7-10 business days to go back into my account. That didnt happen. My Visa is making me pay for this. I will pay the $39.99 for my stupidity but not an inflated $239.99 charge. I was scammed ! I received the gummies but she told me I cant return them. I would like to return them and get my money back. I received 6 bottles of gummies not 3. I am worried about them sending me more; thinking that I paid for a subscription or trial that i cant cancel which i asked her also and she denied.

The website offer a huge pillow using QVC logo for a great price Twenty five dollars and change. I order the pillow and they sent me a receipt with a tracking number, this was in July 2023. I contacted the email they used and the lady (Joyce) if that who she really is told me they could only off me a 30% refund because they suffer a loss too. She also stated it was lost in transit because I gave them the wrong address which was not true. I told them it was unacceptable and the response was this.

They are offering you to get you social network unban or they tell you that you will get back your cryptowallet but the only thing they do is asking for money again and again

An instagram user reached out to my daughter. Told her if she enrolled in their Intensive Outpatient Program, they would pay out part of the insurance take. They said they would have someone else cover her zoom hours and she’d still get paid. I have 11 additional screenshoots with the one attached.

Damion Guinn posed as a business consultant under the name Damion Lions. His "business" operates under the name Lions Consulting Group. He charged me $1000 as an initial start-up fee and "borrowed" $800 for business/personal "emergencies" 4 days later. The transactions took course over 4 days. I've tried to recoup my money as much as possible, even making multiple pleads for a refund before filing a police report and FBI report. Damion said the expense would be used for so and so but never followed through, even when agreeing to refund me the business cost and pay me back for the rest of the money. These transactions were done over Venmo.

I ordered graphics and never received them. I spoke to a few other businesses that have worked with the guy behind the business and they also experienced the same thing. I wish I had spoke to them prior to giving this guy my money. We spoke via instagram and the turn around time was 7 days. it has been 3 months. he said he doesnt do refunds and will send my product soon but that was 2 months ago and he said the same thing a month ago. again, it has been 3 months and other business owners said they were also scammed. its such a shame, we work hard to build our businesses up and business owners love buying from other small business owners so its sad getting scammed by someone pretending to have a business.

I contacted who I thought was a tattoo artist and was inquiring about his/her services. I set up appointments to receive two tattoos. I paid $700 deposit fees. The money was paid in CashApp to $Andreaparker . I live an hour and 30 minutes away from location. I drove to the location and it was an apartment complex and no one ever showed up. All communication was cut off. Several people have been scammed by this individual and Instagram has allowed this person to operate for two years now.

There was an on ad for Macys & Bed, Bath & Beyond that the stores had a big sale, they were going out of business. Website said Macys. Everything looked legit until I checked my bank account and saw the transactions did not come from Macys but a company under the name 'Fashion Chicdress' and another one 'Textileonline' or something to that nature. Didn't receive an email confirmation, so I reached out to Macys corporate to inform them of the issue. Had someone check the site and they confirmed it was absolutely not them.and it was indeed a scam. Please do what you can to put a stop to this nonsense. Too close to the holidays to be ripping people off.

Scammer will begin to follow closely related people to a certain individual. Then will message you about investing in their forex trading firm. I invested money thinking this was legit after seeing something on a friends story about it (I think she bribes certain people or hacks, I’m not entirely sure). I sent them money on cash app thinking they would invest it. Initially it was $600 to which they shortly afterwards informed me I had profited over $7000 dollars and that I would be able to withdraw it. I asked how and followed her instructions and at the last step, I needed to pay for a code to unlock my withdrawal which was bs. I sent her the $200 (withdrawal fee) and confirmed with her. She then told me that she never received it and I know that the address she told me to send this money too, I sent it too. Also, these transactions are all in bitcoin making it incredibly easy to trace and confirm wether or not the payment was received. After telling me she didn’t receive payment and seeing that the address had in fact received my $200, I realized I had been scammed. I stopped texting her. She continued to pester me telling me my withdrawal wasn’t complete. Then she told me again that I had profited even more and that I needed to give her my cash app again so she could send me the profits. I proceeded and then she quickly prompted me to send her more money, to which I was very hesitant but in the end, I did because I’m pressed for money. After confirming the address received payment, she accused me first that I had entered the wrong address to which I told her I literally copied and pasted, then, she told me there were ‘network problems’ and that she still hadn’t received the money. Her practices are extremely dangerous as she’s very persistent, manipulated people I knew of, and was extremely convincing. I’m 19 and she convinced me of her scam, I can’t imagine how many others would fall for this ********. Action must be taken against this women.
