I received by mail. Free Internet and wifi. Signed up with ACP. Called spectrum got it installed. They immediately started billing me. I complained to the FCC. They cut off my wifi, and will try to ruin my credit rating. They are targeting the poor and disabled using a government contract. They need to be stopped.

I was a victim of brush scamming. I had to change my account info. The merchant was Vinesse wines, I don't drink so I didn't think it was funny when three packages if wine showed up on my porch. I tried to call the vendor to cancel the account created in my name and they continue to lie and say they did. I kept receiving account hack attempts and mail showing all they care about is making money even if I told them the account created was false.

This company will charge you for "damages" they cannot explain after the fact and will not inform you of any charges.

A legal firm called Caine & Weiner claims my dad owes $1,356.06 to creditor LEASEPLAN USA INC. We never heard of this company. Let alone done business with them. We've never even been to Alpharetta, Georgia. We got a phone call today on the answering machine saying it will be going to litigation unless resolved now. My dad can't do anything right now anyway because he's in rehab after being in the hospital and is in quarantine for catching covid in rehab.

Scammer's address101 Sanford Farms Shopping Center, Amsterdam, NY 12010, USA Victim LocationNY 12010, USA Type of a scamOther
My son and I went to Walmart today and passed by this shelf for $1 of any bag of chocolate chips. The weight ranged from 12-24oz each.
When we did the self checkout, I reminded my son to pay attention of what the price was going to show up. So, that was the first item he scanned. For a 11-12oz bag of white chocolate chips, it showed $2.62. No, it was not $1 as it claimed on the big price tag at the top of the shelf.
So, we asked for help from the staff on duty. She said, “It is only for the bigger bag.” I asked, “You mean the bag which is double of this size?” She said, “Yes, that is the only size our manager authorized.”
Then, I went back to this same shelf and grab a different bag which was 24oz, bigger than the bag we grabbed earlier. I went back to the self checkout again. This time, the same lady scanned it. It showed $4+. She went in manually to overwrite the price and changed it to $1.
I challenged her immediately, “The chocolate chips didn’t occupy a small part of the shelf. It’s a huge shelf from top to bottom of the same product and showed $1. How can you ?do it in this way?” Her answer was, “I can’t answer you.”
After completing our checkout, I purposefully went back into the store to take this video. We often went to Walmart in the past that the price on the shelf didn’t match up the price at the time of checkout. But at this scale, I truly believe that it was done on purpose. Pay attention to the shelf. The only price tag on that shelf was $1 and both signs are HUGE.
How many people just like me saw the great price and grabbed a bag; then he/she forgets to check the price at the checkout?
This is the way how Walmart scammed people to increase their sales. I honestly think that mistakes happen. We are all human. But based on our previous shopping experiences in Walmart, I truly believe that this is done on purpose. Amsterdam NY may be a small town. But $1+ from each customer doing the same thing I did and never challenged the price. It can easily bring in a few tens of thousands of dollars extra to Walmart by cheating.
Please see the video I took right after the checkout where from this same shelf I grabbed both small and bigger bags of chocolate chips from. (I took this video in Walmart at Amsterdam NY on Jan 15, 2023 (Sun) 1:20pm.)

Someone is trying to use my deceased son's name, and my personal home address to set up this fictitious business . I keep getting letter's thru the mail to open bank account and insurance endeavors. Please advise, as I said my son is recently passed. He did not own or operate any business, and my home address is listed for this business with his name. Thanks for your help.

Received a package in mail today that I DID NOT ORDER. Address is linked to an Amazon Fulfillment Center, The Customer rep used the tracking number and reported to me that anonymous person sent me a "gift" and I would not be charged and said it ignore. She could not tell me how my name and address were released by Amazon and did not feel they released it but someone/organization picked it up off an online order and nothing I an do. I reseaarched and found out this could be a "brushing scam" and I wanted to report it.

I posted an item for sale on Facebook Marketplace and was asked to give a verification code for my phone number. I sent the code and now I understand the scammer has my cell phone number which they can use to create a false account and scam people.
The scammer went by the names Zara Zara and Mera Cook - these names and accounts were deleted by the scammer 5 minutes after I sent my cell number.

We received packages from Amazon and third party seller from China with items we did not order. A fake account was set up on Amazon using our surname and address. Checking our credit card, we realized thousands of dollars worth of merchandise and airlines tickets had been fraudulently purchased utilizing our credit card.

This company sent me wine packages three times tomorrow address. I don't drink, when I told the vendor at Viness wines that this was a brush scam attempt they said they would cancel my account. They care about their business and will put a note out to their management about this. However I still keep getting mail showing my account that was created by a brush scammer is still active. They don't care as long ad they make money at my fraudulent expense.
