I responded to a Facebook job posting by an individual named "Michael," who was seeking a math tutor for his 13-year-old daughter. We communicated by text and agreed on compensation of $800 for 40 tutoring sessions. He stated he was going through a divorce and that all financial transactions had to be documented and processed through his lawyer. He sent me an eCheck for the full $800, which I deposited.

The next day, Michael messaged me stating that the tutoring arrangement was canceled because his wife had gained full custody of their daughter. He asked for the money to be returned but told me I could keep $50 for the inconvenience. He instructed me to forward the remaining $750 to his daughter’s caregiver, Paris Johnson, via Zelle. He provided her email for the transaction. I sent the payment with the memo line: “Cancellation of tutoring arrangements.”

The following day, I discovered that the $800 eCheck had been withdrawn from my account due to insufficient funds or cancellation, leaving me at a $750 loss. I attempted to contact Michael, the supposed lawyer, and Paris Johnson. Paris responded that she had already transferred the funds to someone named James, who had allegedly "cashed out" immediately. She claimed she could not return the money.

I posted a daybed for sale in a facebook market and a person claiming to be interested tried to use Zelle to transfer money. I received an email that Google claimed was SPAM. It stated that the account was on hold and needed another $300 transferred to verify account details. I believed this person was local and before I noticed it was a scam, I sent my Zelle QR code to pay ME into MY account, my email address, phone number and home address. I used the Zelle app attached to my Bank of America account. I said I'd refund the $300 as soon as I saw it reported in my Bank of America Account. After seeing the suspicious URL that the email was sent from, I started delaying the conversation and ended up blocking this person after telling them I will reject any payment I received.

This guy claimed to be an Ebay representative he tried to help me with my ebay account thinking my account got hacked. He asked me to send money to Venmo, Cash App and asked me to buy gift cards from retail stores for "verification". He happened to cheat me.

The person who left a voice mail just kept using the same name and also used another phone number. I mean a brand new phone number, which is 1-929-412-0653. Talking about a college debt.

Said I won a sweepstake.

In search of a shih tzu puppy, I located this website. I filled out a form for contact and they would only reach me via email and then ask that I send money to their Zell account to transport a puppy across the nation. I asked for a live call and they finally did with a google number that stated "spam". the person sounded like they were in Indian and refused to connect with me virtually to see the puppies, only wanted money. Very sad this is going on!

He claimed he sent me money for payment for a car he was interested in asked to do it through cash app and the emailed me prenting to be the cash app rep. Withe this email [email protected] asking for money to approve the money transfer. Thats not a cash app email they stole 200 dollars i sent for the approval.

It’s the “yes” phone scam. A man called claiming he was an individual named “Michael” calling from Delmarva Blood bank asking to speak with me. I answered “yes speaking” and they hung up

A man named Michael called my elderly parents and told them that their grandson (my son) had been in a car accident (his fault) and was at the police station. They needed $7000 dollars for for some reason (unclear). My mother asked them some questions and it became clear that they didn't know much about my son (plus my son does not have a car at college and wouldn't be driving). I called this number back, asked for Michael and gave him a pie e of my mind (explicit version). Hope they catch this guy.

Two separate companies have phoned saying they were partnered with BBB and BBB recommends I do business with them.

They were trying to sell their services for adding reviews to my Facebook page and Google. Very pushy Maybe it was the same company.

They got my attention because they said BBB recommends them.

- Almont, MI, USA

Buyer is from out of state, instantly offered asking price for product offering to mail us a certified bank check that would include the asking "fund" plus the shipping "fund". Asked for my full name and address multiple times even after already giving it to him. We attempted to call the "buyer" with no answer, he then responded by text stating he was at work and when asked for his name all he said was Michael. We felt uncomfortable about the situation so we told "Michael" that we had someone here offering us cash for the item and that we were sorry but, we preferred cash. He replied with, "I've already sent your info to my bank to mail out check to you", We told him to cancel it. He insisted that he was a serious buyer offering us asking price, He then said "I'm not here to play games or wast time" "can you show me their pic", meaning he wanted us to take a picture of the people who were offering us cash. We strongly feel "Michael is a scammer and have not continued any more conversation.

Got a voice mail: my name is michael im calling from ins. company im calling from the health ins company regarding a nurses visit that occurred recently and return my call at 888 591 1511

Caller ID showed zero. Unable to trace it. Returned call and immediately he asked for my date of birth, name, address...I said I was reporting for fraud. He went on to say no no he's from the insurance company that he's legit blah blah. I hung up at that point. The scary part is he had the name of my mother and my personal phone number that I give out to certain people/businesses.
