My **** bank account has been double charged on the same account with the same name, security info, bank info & card number. Twice a month I am being charged for the same service, all the way back to January 2021 by Amazon for prime. When asking how this was possible they "didnt know" and when I asked for a refund since I was being double charged for the same service on the same name, account, and payment info. They said they "could not give me an answer at this time" and told me they will send me 10 months (130$) of the 28/29 months I am owed, of which was NOT an agreement. They failed to pay me that debt as well which has happened before when amazon told me I would be refunded for lost/stolen items twice.

Ordered the keto gummies that Oprah Winfrey was advertising.

The weight lost is definitely not what is claimed. It’s more like 1 pound per week. It’s a shame that a personality like Oprah Winfrey, with the money and reputation the she has, feels it necessary to dupe the public out of more money by issuing false claims about her weight loss and products that don’t work

Received messenger response to listing I had posted on Marketplace asking for my phone number to make sure I was a real person. I gave it to them. I then received a google text with verification code. They then asked if I got the code they had sent me. I replied yes. They then asked for me to give them the code so they would know my number was real and I was a real person. After a short delay and being asked again for the code I finally did give it to them. They then would not reply back to me making me more suspicious and leading to me researching stuff online leading me to calling Identify Resource Center who stated they were familiar with the scam and emailed me the following:

I am sorry to hear that you were impacted by the Google Voice scam. Unfortunately, we are hearing about a lot of people being targeted by this scam lately and many people are sharing their Google Voice code.

At this point the worst thing that can happen, that we are aware of, is the scammer tries to connect their fraudulent activity to your phone number by forwarding calls to you. They can’t access your accounts. The best thing to do is to reclaim your phone number by doing the following:

· Visit our Google Voice Scam blog and scroll down the page to watch our video titled “Recover From Google Voice Scam.” You may also view instructions further down in the blog, in the section titled “What to do if You’ve Given Away Your Code.”

· If you receive an error code, do not panic, we suggest you wait 12-24 hours and try again.

You can document the steps you take to reclaim your number, and the date those steps are taken, in case you need it later.

You may also want to report the scam to the FTC and/or the FBI.

Best Regards,

Since I had no Google Voice Calling account to have stolen I feared they had probably set one up with my phone number so I went ahead and set one up and did the steps to reclaim my phone number. It did not show anyone else using it at the time. My assumption is since there was a delay in me giving the code it had already expired preventing them from using it.

I applied for a Payday Loan online and was requested by the website to go to the nearest location store location and provide proof of identity and sign the documents to finalize the loan when I went to the store well actually they called me the next morning to confirm an appointment to come in and verify my identity provided the documents and finalize the loan when I get to the the store location the lady proceeds to hand me in new application and tells me I need to fill this out and I told her I'm not there to fill out a new application and apply for a new loan I've already applied for a loan I'm looking to I was told to come in and verify my identity and provide the document to verify and she said well this is how we do it you need to apply for a new loan I have been proceeded to ask her if it would then make another hard pull on my credit report she said yes because that's how they do it and I told her that doesn't make sense if they pulled my credit report online why would you need me to apply for another loan and pull my credit again when I've already applied for it you told me I was coming into verify my identity not apply for a new loan she goes well you don't have to if you don't need the money and I had to do it because I'm in a situation where I needed to so I did it and I told her before I did it what makes this any different than online if I didn't qualify online that's what you're telling me is I didn't qualify what makes me qualify in person oh you don't you just have a higher chance how does it make me have a higher chance does it lower my credit report the credit standards for qualifying no but it just because we can physically verify your identity but that's what you told me to come in for is to physically verify my identity not to reapply for a new loan so not only did she have me reapply for a new loan which put a ding on my credit she did another hard pull on my credit which ruined my credit even more and made it harder for me to even get another loan or apply for a loan to somebody else so after all of that she comes back and tells me sorry you didn't get approved so not only did I didn't did not go down there to do what they said which was verify my identity they scammed me into coming down there and ruining my credit again just so they can have another notch in their belt of for applied for a loan that should be illegal they lied to me by telling me to come down to their store location to verify my identity then they swindled me and had me reapply for a new loan and have another hard pull on my credit knowing that I didn't meet the qualifications to get approved for a loan so now not only am I screwed out of the money I needed I'm screwed for applying for the money I needed with anybody else because of how many things I've had on my credit just from them is that not illegal I mean is it legal to lie to somebody to course them into coming down to the store location and then tricking them into reapplying for something that they know they're not going to approve you for

Consumer was working with a payroll company Gusto. While setting up her account the representative asked for her bank account password because it would be "makes it easier to set up her account". The consumer said she does not feel comfortable with that. After the rep insisted, the consumer asked that her account be canceled and deleted. The rep promptly hung up on the consumer.

On March 25, 2023, I contacted the number from the commercial for Life Lock which was a security company to ensure that your personal information will remain safe and if not your account will be insured for an approximate $1,000,000.00

I contacted the number (800-818-7738) directly from the currently airing commercial and found out that it was a ruse that redirected my call to Medical Alert regardless of the option that was chosen on the keypad of my phone. Once I connected, I commented that I was calling Life Lock and not Life Alert. Once questioned/confronted the person hung up on me. I called a second time and asked if this was a bait and switch and was hung up on again. I called again but my number had been blocked so I called from another number and asked for a supervisor. A person who claimed to be a supervisor did not care or show any concern for my complaint and was very rude.

The impetus for my call to a company that I thought was reputable was to help to secure my future with regard to my credit and personal holdings such as my property etc.

Below is what I found out online.

What is the LifeLock controversy?

LifeLock was fined $12 million by the Federal Trade Commission in March 2010 for deceptive advertising. The FTC called the company's prior marketing claims misleading to consumers by claiming to be a 100% guarantee against all forms of identity theft.

I called Life Lock from a different5 phone number and got the same bait and switch response which was automated and would not respond to anything being said.

I do not understand how a company who touts itself in saving others from fraud is committing fraud itself. Norton, now the owner of Life Lock has been long trusted to protect consumers against fraud and hacking. Whom can we trust if not one of

the the most trusted name in internet security. What is actually being done to hold these multi-billionaires accountable for defrauding the public in the name of fear from the outside world who may be attempting to sell your personal information for profit?

Who are we to trust in order that we might secure our future holdings with our sensitive information regarding credit, bank accounts and other information that all of us value.

As a 69 year old female, the grieves me to know that there are so many trusted sources who seek to destroy and defraud the frail public such as myself. I pray that something is done of a significant order that will cause a definite cease and desist.

As an aside, I called today from a different number because the original number was blocked and Life Lock is doing the same bait and switch game.

Had placed item on facebook marketplace for sale. Received call shortly after posting. Caller (identified as Lisa) said she was interested in item. Said she was working and could not pick up but would check with her husband to see if he could pick up. Then said that she would send me a 6 digit google voice verification code that I should enter to confirm that my posting was not phony. Entered the code but later found out that this is some sort of scam.

Bought from an ad on Facebook from the business Onyoa. Before purchase I checked the return policy, they claimed purchases could be returned. Also claimed it was shipped from the US. The order took 3 weeks to arrive. The items were poor quality, nothing like the pictures. I contacted them for the return authorization, they offered me 25 dollars. I declined and asked again for the return authorization, the offered me 31 dollars. I reached out a 3rd time for the return auth and now have no response. They have deleted me comments on Facebook.

My mother, Melody Crider, has been the victim of an online scam involving someone claiming to represent McAfee. She sent almost $4000 in gift cards to an individual per his request. When family members became aware of the situation, we have taken necessary steps to secure her accounts, but noticed that someone had remotely accessed her computer.

There were documents sent to her computer regarding an LLC established with her information without her consent.

Although I was not personally targeted nor was someone I know targeted, I figured it would be the right thing to do and report the fake company. They offer various positions, mainly having to do with game testing on mobile devices. Other fake companies that offer the same scam are SocialPays and Write App Reviews. The links to each of these listings are shows below.

I ordered a adult novelty. The item that I received was defective and so I complained to the seller. They agreed to replace it. The replacement that I received was also defective. I contacted the seller again as I stated I did not want another replacement and they agreed to refund the amount. Now they won't answer my e-mails and will not respond.

While shopping at Vons Market, on Fridays ( Senior Sale days) they advertise sale items. However, while using the Vons App, and at Checkout, all Items on sale, ring up at inflated regular price. Upon going back to the Manager, they give cash back only for the issue, but not the tax. They pocket the tax and give cash back only for their pricing scam. ( And only if you realize the mistake and go back to store and complain. This is a daily occurrence and targets seniors in the area- Leasure Village. Thank you for your help.
