They posted shoes on their stories for sale and said it was $200. They asked to send the money to two different cashaps because apparently one did not work. Now they keep asking for money because they “did not receive it.”

I was contacted by ahigh school friend thru Instagram and they asked me if they could use one of my pictures. They offer to pay for the picture and I said no. The she said she woould have her manager contacted me since it was something that they do very often. She first wanted to deposit in my bank account and I said no. then she asked to do it on my credit card and said you don't have to give me your information I will give you my bank information so you can make the payments yourself. I was so naive that I did and then my credit card company restricted my account due to fradulent transaction. I been calling the bank and they need the third party on the phone and they will not collaborate. Saying that the mney is already out f her account.

It started with a post I saw on Instagram @frenchkickss for a pair of authentic Nike Travis Scott Mocha sneakers for $200. The account appears to be run by someone who collects and resells sneakers, and seems legitimate to me after research. I direct message to the seller and asked many questions to make sure this guy is legit. After an hour of texts on IG back and forth, the guy told me he had sold many sneakers during our conversation. He has many posts on IG and sort of convinced me that he is legit so I finally paid him $200 using Apply Cash from my phone. After the sale, I kept texting him about when am I going to get a tracking number. After 2 days he finally gave me a bogus USPS tracking, I kept checking USPS website few times a day and the result is the same "Status not available at the moment. Please try again later". At the same time, I also tried to send him multiple texts, and he had not responded back to me since.

A friend of mine in Florida contacted me on instagram to chat. She asked me if I had heard about the new government RCF program. She said that it paid her $30,000 in grant money. She said would you be interested. I said yes. She gave me the number to call and the guys name was Gardner Duncan. He said he would send me an application via messages to fill out to submit to their database to see if I qualified. I did. He then said to choose the grant I wanted. 10,000 fee 1,000/ &30,000 fee 1500/ or 60,000 fee 3000. I then contacted my friend on Instagram to see if she had paid the fee amount she said yes, and I got my money the next day. So I sent $1000 through Zelle and 500 via apple gift card. I was texted the next day saying my money was going to be delivered, but I first had to pay for a certificate of tax exemption for the IRS. $2000.00. I then decided to call my friend and ask her about that fee. She said several of her friends had called about the same thing and that her Facebook account had been hacked. They then got into her Instagram account and were using that also to scam her friends.they answered all my questions about her family Etc from the information they had stolen.As of today they are still using her account to contact me about sending the fee money! Hope you can catch them!

They’re not shut down yet, they just contacted me last night through messenger (using a friend’s name and photo) and told me to call the “agent” at the same number you were given.

Thank you for sharing your experience, anyone looking to verify if this rcf grant is true will hopefully see your experience and won’t suffer the same loss as you.

scammer claimed to be Lottery winner in New Jersey & was "gifting" the winnings away to the first 2000 follower on his Instagram account. He said that I would be getting around $7000. He charges $50 "registration fee" for his assistant. Claimed that my account wasn't set to recieve a large balance & said that an additional fee of $287 was needed for my account to be credited. After I paid, he "attempted to send" the funds via Zelle to my Chase bank. I then got an email from Zelle stating that there was an issue with my Zelle account and needed $500 to upgrade my account for security purposes. I paid the $500 (i am in dire need of the $7000 funds). After paying, Zelle sends another email stating that I need to upgrade my "debit to business debit" to handle the amount of the transfer and that would cost an additional $1600. I informed Zelle that I could only afford $150.. so they said to pay the $150 and they would work with me to get the account approved. for 2 days, Zelled claimed to be working on my approval. Zelle offered a "work around" the $1600 if I gave them access to my IDme account for verification purposes. Now Zelle is saying that they won't approve my account or the release of the funds sent until I pay off the $1600. I really need those funds for medical reasons & literally just gave them all my available funds to access it.

Advertised as orthopedic sandals. Purchase arrives in small bag with US return address label printed like on a printer. The item is not the orthopedic sandal advertised but a cheap imitation. Contacted the company and wanted to return the product. They emailed back stating it would cost too much to return they would let me keep item and credit me back 10%.

Purchased a motorcycle exhaust from an account on instagram. Seemed very legitimate, lots of posts and lots of followers. When the package shipped, I received multiple calls and texts letting me know the package was held up in customs in Nevada and that in order to get the package moving I needed to pay for “refundable insurance.” I didn’t pay for the insurance, though they were asking for $400 in insurance. I paid $450 for the exhaust, shipping included. I went back and forth with the guy via Instagram and he seemed helpful. He then offered to purchase the insurance in my place but was still asking me to send him the $400. I asked him for the contact information of the shipper and the “authorities.” I have not since heard back. Please let me know if you need any other information. Thank you!

This guy on Instagram (@billzmuzic) is harassing me and asking for money otherwise he's gonna

hack into my bank and Instagram account as well as my phone.

This person is also harassing me and my ex-boyfriend. He asked my ex-boyfriend for

nudes and porn of either me or him and he would also ask me and my ex-boyfriend for money. We

told him "No" but he keeps making threats at us like "He's gonna hack our phone and bank

accounts", "He's gonna put our porn videos and nudes on a sex site", etc...

05JUN2023 at 13:20 I meet up with this individual Mr. Alexander Jimenez who claims the business named AutoFilm Werkz at Raising Cane’s Chicken Fingers parking lot 24655 Madison Ave, Murrieta, CA 92562. We talked about the car vinyl wrap services he does, he told me hows the process is and how long it’ll take him to do the job, he said 2 weeks at the most after we decide on the design.

06JUN2023 at 12:09 he messaged me through Instagram and gave me the price of $3950 on a layered full car wrap, I asked him how much if it is printed, however he gave me an answer regarding the printed wrap for $3350 on 07JUN2023 at 15:16.

08JUN2023 at 18:27 he asked me which option do I want to go, and I replied that I want it printed, and we gave me a permission to bring my car to his shop on 19JUN2023.

12JUN2023 at approximately 17:30, I went to meet him up at Sheepey Race 41810 Mcalby Ct, Murrieta, CA 92562, and sent him the deposit using VENMO of $2000 for the car vinyl wrap service he’s going to do to my car.

19JUN2023 at 10:52, I drove my car to his shop at 357 S Arrowhead Ave #8, San Bernardino, CA 92408 however he’s not present at the moment I arrived, it was only his worker name Cameron.

05JUL2023 at 09:26 it’s been 2 weeks and 2 days already. I was at his shop and saw my car and it’s not been wrap, the trunk, front and rear bumper are off the car. I asked him what’s holding him up? He said he’s waiting on his print designer to render the design for my car. I was like it should’ve been done already however he’s giving me excuses about his print designer.

07JUL2023 at 21:13 I texted him and asked him what’s the updates on the design, unfortunately no response from him.

10JUL2023 at 20:38 I texted him and asking if there’s any updates and to give me a call when he get a chance, unfortunately no response or call.

12JUL2023 at 12:05 He texted me and apologizing about the delay and ignoring me. He mentioned that his having issues with his other customer and doesn’t want to pay him.

19JUL2023 at 10:39 I texted and asked him when he’s going to start wrapping my car. Unfortunately no response.

21JUL2023 at 20:59 I texted and asked if he’s able to start wrapping my car the next day (22JUL2023). No response.

24JUL2023 at 11:23 I texted and asked him how’s it going. No response. At 21:33 texted asked him again if there’s any updates regarding my car. No response.

27JUL2023 at 20:29 texted him and still no response.

28JUL2023 at 15:41 I asked for a photo of my car, and he sent me one. I told him it looks good. Photo is always different from reality.

29JUL2023 at 11:48 I asked him to wrap the side mirrors red but no response.

04AUG2023 at 09:58 I texted him but he replied at 11:02 saying that he’s still waiting on the side skirts and trunk to be ready to be printed. So I asked him if he’s able to finish it the next day, he just sent me a photo of my car half-done and disassembled, did not answer my question.

(Fast forward)

22AUG2023 at 15:26 I texted him and asked him if I can pick up my car the next day 23AUG2023. He replied yes that’s fine.

23AUG2023 I went to the shop and saw my car is not completed. I told him I need to pull out my car because I’m disappointed of his workmanship, he want me to pay $800 for him to release my car. I sent him the money he’s asking just to get my car out of his possession and knowing that my car is not completely done. I felt being scammed by this person.

I’m not happy to this person Mr. Alexander Jimenez wrap service he did to my car. He misrepresented and breached our verbal agreement. Lack of communication, and lack of professionalism. He can’t even provide a documentations regarding his service. I delivered my car to the shop his renting in San Bernardino CA on 19JUN2023. He supposed to wrap my car for 2 weeks at the longest time.

and on 23AUG2023 I went to the shop and saw my car is not completed. I told him I need to pull out my car because I’m disappointed of his workmanship, he want me to pay $800 for him to release my car. I sent him the money he’s asking just to get my car out of his possession knowing that my car is not completely done. I felt being scammed by this person. Please see attached.
