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.

I bought nearly $30 worth of clothes in May and i emailed them end of June. They said package arrived but it did not. And then they said they would refund me or send the order. So i opted for the order and it never came. I got responses until August and then no replies in Sept or Oct 2024

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

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.

City Starz is a shoe store inside of fashion fair mall. My daughter saved up all of her birthday money from her 11th birthday and really wanted to purchase some new Jordan’s. The store did not have her size available so they offered to order it for her. I paid for the shoes to be shipped to store and they said it would take 10-14 days for the shoes to arrive and that they would call me. After nearly a month I contacted them and they said it was taking longer than usual for the shoes to come in and that they would come that week. Another two weeks went by and I contacted them again and they said the wrong shoes came in so I asked for a refund on the shoes. They said they could do expedited shipping instead of a refund but I asked again for a refund and that when the refund is processed to provide proof. I have not been able to get ahold of them since and it’s been nearly 3 months in total. They just posted on their page that they have new owners and cannot honor any purchases made by the previous owners. $380 is thrown away and as a single mother that is devastating. I cannot afford to buy my daughter nice things and could never afford shoes like that out of my own pocket.

They made it seem that they were loyal people promoting tshirts with Some scriptures of the Bible. And they had a promotion buy over $20 and get shipping free. It says Tee Discount and shows you the shirts and Christian music with the video and when you click on it it’s called spectth with a cross in the front. I bought 8 shirts and payment went through but I never received anything I would supposedly track it and it would say it was from china and then just small steps like that and I’d be like oh ok but then when I tracked it again because it was already taking too long and it had said it was already in Fresno all of a sudden the information wasn’t there anymore.

I was just scanned by them as well $54 for Christian T shirts. They supposedly sent then twice, I never received them. They can't tell me the courier service who delivered and promised a 70% refund. When I pushed the issue they said they would give me 100%
All lies.

It was an ad on instagram. A shop in-between posts on my feed. I figured instagram would not have fake companies advertised and offering deals. So i shopped from my IG account.

“Kimmy Kay” advertised online about turning $50 into $15,000. They stated they were an accountant and can change numbers. I gave them about $1,500 and then they wanted me to change my instagram info. That’s when I realized they wanted my account so they can promote their “business” and scam other people

Someone who posed to a family member messaged me on instagram about an opportunity to receive a Community Development Block Grant that they had received. They sent me a number of an agent to text to see if I can be eligible to receive the grant. While texting the agent they asked for my personal information to fill out the grant form which included my full legal name, address, phone number, phone carrier, and email. Then, they asked for a photo of the front and back of my ID card, as well as my social security number, all of which I provided. Next they told me that I was eligible to receive $50,000, but had to pay a 500 clearance and delivery fee. This was when I realized that it must have been a scam. Furthermore, I called my family member’s phone number to confirm if she sent me the information, and she responded that she had not messaged me at all since she was not been very active on her instagram. In addition, I noticed that her account that I received the texts about the grant from seemed to be a duplicate of her real account because they both looked identical.

My boyfriend, paid someone who advertised themselves as a traveling tattoo artist in North Carolina, Blake (last name unknown) attends University of Miami and was doing tattoos in NC before returning to school. My boyfriend requested an upper arm memorial piece on his right arm but Blake made it very clear that he had to submit the full payment ($125) to his sister's Cashapp account (she handle's his finances) before scheduling the appointment. After his payment was received, they scheduled an appointment for June 27th 2024. Blake stated that he would be able to do the tattoo around 12:00pm. My boyfriend never heard back from him the day of the 27th and never received the tattoo service. My boyfriend reached out to Blake several times, in which Blake apologized and said he would reschedule, but never showed up on the rescheduled date and never provided an address or time. Blake offered to do the tattoo for free and to refund partial money, but never scheduled a time that he followed through on and never refunded any money. On the final attempt to reach out to Blake, my boyfriend asked for the full refund and stated that he no longer wanted Blake to do his tattoo due to the unprofessionalism. Blake said that he would give a full refund, after opening up a bank account. Blake sent my boyfriend a photo on snapchat (the primary means of communication) of his money in cash but never refunded the money. Blake stated that he does not have to give a refund because my boyfriend paying for the tattoo in full before the service was a deposit, however Blake never shared his policy or guidelines and never mentioned anything about a deposit, instead insisted that the service be paid in pull ($125). Blake also claims that he his a licensed and official business, but these policy/guidelines are nowhere to be found on his social media platform.
