The experience with Lisa AAron began with a seemingly genuine plea for assistance. She described herself as a stranded medical professional in Berlin, with financial difficulties and no support network. Initially, she mentioned attending a World Health Organization seminar but claimed her bank account in Miami was frozen due to a hacking incident. She repeatedly emphasized her need for financial help to cover various "fees," claiming this would eventually unlock a promised €50,000.

Scammer Tactics:

Emotional Appeal: Lisa used sympathy tactics, sharing personal hardships and her background, including being orphaned and raised by her grandmother. This created a bond and fostered trust, making it harder to say no.

Urgency and Escalation: She requested progressively larger amounts, citing "urgent" fees to finalize her account's release. Each new step required just one more financial input, which would supposedly lead to a large payoff.

Promised Reward: The hook was a promised large sum in return, which incentivized continuous assistance.

Manipulative Excuses: Whenever contact faltered or promises weren't fulfilled, Lisa gave plausible reasons—such as bad internet or last-minute meetings with her "manager"—to explain delays, keeping hope alive while draining resources.

Ultimately, Lisa's manipulative behavior cost her victim €6,000, teaching a hard lesson in recognizing emotional and financial manipulation.

On 8/18/24 i clicked a advertisement on Instagram for Luvmehair promotion for 5 wigs at $12.99 each. I placed my order and received a confirmation soon after. It gave a order # and states i will receive an additional email once it shios with a tracking number. I received that email with an asian tracking company number. So i kept my eye on the tracking and around late September it showed arrival to a united state post official facility but no US tracking #. A few days later it stated delivered but when i contacted the PO they did an investigation with the Asian tracking number i had and they had no record. I emailed the company advising my package was missing and they asked for 10 days to research. I gave them time and its been the run around since. They i threatened to report to ScamPulse.com and they stated they would reship the item. I still have no product and i have contacted my credit card to dispute the charges.

The artist by the name of Jennifer Avery reached out to the individual to offer commission art services. The individual and Avery exchanged conversation about the service, for example what they had in mind. Avery offered a free preview for the rigged model (commonly known as Vtuber Models on YouTube) to the individual. It was here that the individual decided they didn't want to go forward and told Avery they did not have any money, so the service would not go forward. Avery continued to work on the model anyways, and presented it to the individual. The individual did not exchange conversation with Avery at any point after they declared they did not have money.

It was then that Avery's boss, thought to be an impersonation by Avery, began to criticize the individual stating that the product, even though not asked for, was delivered to them and was insisting payment was needed. They then told the individual that if payment was not issued within 24 hours they would press legal action.

The individual realized that this was a scam and began to silence all communication. We are worried that individuals who may not be technologically or legally knowledgeable may become victims to this company's scams.

Le Creuset scam on Instagram for a free set of cookware. Initial charge for shipping was $10.95. Then I get a charge for $79.95, which upon investigation is some sort of subscription scam. Don't fall for the celebrity endorsements or at least do your research, because I did not. Debits from my account list Modern Room as the vendor.

I was scammed into sending $700 for 2 tickets to the Taylor Swift concert in New Orleans. The Instagram page "erastour_resell_tickets" presented itself like a broker between sellers and buyers for Taylor Swift concert tickets. Once they contacted the seller and gave me the PayPal account to send the payment to (via friends and family bc they "didn't want to be charged a fee from PayPal"), they were supposed to transfer the tickets into my Ticketmaster account. That never happened. They (the Instagram page) claimed that they suddenly were having issues with the seller ([email protected]). They said the seller wanted to sell all 4 tickets that they had at one time, instead of the 2 that was initial agreed upon, and I made sure to get confirmation that the seller was only selling me the 2 tickets. Erastour_resell_tickets then tried to convince to just buy the remaining 2 tickets and the seller would be happy and would then approve the transfer of the tickets to my Ticketmaster account. It was at that point that I realized I was being scammed and immediately asked for a refund. They said no problem and that they would contact the seller. The refund never came and the Instagram page blocked me. I am so livid and frustrated bc I was simply trying to surprise my wife with the tickets she had been dreaming about.

I informed her that I wouldn't be able to do that late after she states she wouldn't be done until 4pm. I asked for my deposit back she refused and claims it's my fault I'm not able to come and she won't refund my deposit and she blocked my number and social media.

Report on Impersonation and Attempted Identity Theft



During the 2020-2022 period, an individual named Ziyang Yannick Yip (online username: "ziyangyip.prods") engaged in behavior where he impersonated me both online and in public. He dressed up and posed as a false version of myself, adopting aspects of my persona in an effort to mislead others. This included mimicking my online activities, attempting to deceive people into believing he was me, and reaching out to mutual contacts under this false identity.



In addition to these actions, he also attempted to steal my personal information through various online tactics. These efforts included monitoring my social media profiles, attempting to gain unauthorized access to private data, and manipulating others to obtain details about me without consent.



His behavior caused significant distress and led to confusion among my professional and personal contacts.

On August 10, 2024, I was on Instagram and an ad came up about Frosted White Singing Bowls from this company named Dharma Bowls. I placed the order, was subsequently given an order number (DB10698) and used my Debit card to make the purchase.



Since then, I have received no updates other than Dharma Bowls telling me "Your order is on the way."



Here is a copy of the Tracking number: Other tracking number: YT2422621266003237. Then I get this:



On its way



Updated August 12, 2024

This shipment is on its way.

This was to help secure a grant from the SBA. She has a website online and an Instagram account.

Her site says it can help acquire a grant and better credit. At first, there was an application fee of $700.00

dollars to submit. The application was approved for $ 150,000. Dollars . I did receive what looked to be an email from SBA on a Sunday night. Then, allegedly, the code was used to verify the account, and she alleged the account should proceed with the disbursement of funds. I didn't see the code in my email; she said it was probably in spam where it was found. I gave her the code, and she tried it and said it was too late. I responded too late, within the hour. I told her that didn't seem right. Rush rush. I told her to contact SBA. She asked that I post another 900. to get another code. I told her this was not my fault; She claimed she put up 400. I DID put up another $500. dollars thinking I'm in this deep. Before I questioned her about a scam, I said the SBA is a Federal institution. They will be closed on the Holiday ( Columbus Day)

She mentioned that she is a Christian woman. The FBI would be after her and her business for making false statements. The last time we spoke was last afternoon, I told her I didn't want to miss her email to submit the last $900 for the code. For some reason, she said it would take her to 2 hours... I haven't heard back from her Its been over 24 hours. I requested my $2400 Dollars back. This is my start to make a paper trail.

This is the timeline of the Clove Consulting scam that took advantage of my trust.

01/07/2023 I responded to an ad on Instagram that was soliciting investors to invest in an online Faceless Youtube Automation type company. The company name is Clove Consulting the owner’s name is Abdull Ibaid. The ad promised a “Vehicle to start making $3,000 - $5,000 per month”. Mr. Ibaid promises a return on investment over 6 months with passive income after that. However, the YouTube channels never got off the ground even though he promised each month that YouTube channels exceeded key point indicators and metrics. Mr. Ibaid repeatedly affirmed my 6 month policy, expectations and timeframe. Misleading me to anticipate ethical conduct, fair reciprocation and financial transparency. Ultimately frustrating me financially. Unfortunately, I suffered from economic hardship via the loss of job which contributed to my gullibility and desperation to believe in Mr.Ibaid’s get-rich-quick scheme.

This person named Lucas vallier in instagram (https://www.instagram.com/lucas_artsee?igsh=MTV4NnUzcjZxaXNuag==) wants me to join this website https://artarcadehall.com and to upload 4 piece of my artwork this person is interested in. So he could buy from there. To upload those imgaes I need to pay gas money first in Etherium. I suspected potential fraud and didn't do it. The website is less than a month old.

they made a comment on my instagram post asking if they could use the picture as inspo for their art work because one of their clients liked my photo, i deleted the comment because i didn't want stuff like that on my page but then they sent a dm asking, i agreed but then they brought up payment, i told them they should keep it and use it for their other art pieces but they kept on insisting so i eventually caved in and the "client" texted my number and ended up sending me a fake check through their gmail. the person who messaged me on instagram kinda guilt tripped me into being corporative by saying i made the client uncomfortable by asking them any sort of verification.
