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.

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...
