I had been looking for estimates for a complete new roof. As of right now only 1 company has come out to look at it and give me an actual estimate. I have however contacted about a half dozen others about estimates. The contractor I had spoken to was going on vacation so he was pretty good about me taking my time to decide. Today (about a week later) a subcontractor shows up and starts dropping materials and a dumpster at my house, fully ready to do a tear off and replace my roof. I have signed no contract with anyone for the work. They would not identify who they worked for and I was only able to see a delivery ticket for a brief second to confirm my address with the materials and what appears to be the company I that had given me the estimate. I finally had to threaten them with calling the cops to get them to stop trying to drop off more materials and to pick up the ones already dropped off on my driveway. I contacted the company I got the estimate from and they are adamant, after confirming with their normal delivery channels and subs, that it was not them who were dropping off materials.

Dropping off and potentially starting the work without having a contract, essentially forcing me to pay or getting locked into some legal battle. The whole interaction felt off.

I have many items for sale on Facebook marketplace and every time they ask me for my phone number and I of course do not give it. But I wanted to tell you the other things they do to help your readers be able to red flag the potential buyers. As I said above they ask for a phone nunber and I refuse but they also say that their son will be the one to pick the item up because they are out of town, one guy told me he had just had shoulder surgery and he was inquiring about a framed print I am selling. (how heavy could that be) ?? They also ask me what town I live in and admittedly I have told them the area not thinking that was a big deal,but I'm sure it helps them narrow down the search on people finders. I once had someone fool me almost well enough that I almost lost my $1200 camera. I even went to the post office and paid 107.00 to ship the item thinking the "payment" they sent was legit. The made up a very good copy of a paypal receipt and sent me a link to tell them I had sent the item. So after I packaged and mailed the camera, in the parking lot of the post office I proceed to send the info to the link and the link was just an email address disguised as a link to usps tracking. I ran back into the post office and exclaimed the guy is fake, the guy is fake! I showed the employees the evidence and they thankfully gave me back my $107.00 and of course my camera. I had also gift wrapped the darn thing, so I did lose the $2.12 I paid for the wrapping paper! I thought I had correctly received the "payment" from paypal but since the buyer had asked me to send him a request or an invoice for the sale it was pending on paypals end. Oh, he also said the payment would take a few hours to hit my account and that was hours after I had texted and said it was mailed. It wasn't till later that I gave him the how to and what for about his disgusting acts and he didn't even act like he knew who I was. I believe they work in shifts and at that point someone else was manning the scam and he didn't know who I was at all. I did report this incident to the internet crimes division and never heard anything from them. I hope this helps your readers. So DO NOT GIVE YOUR PHONE NUMBER.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR GENERAL LOCATION.

DO NOT GIVE YOUR ADDRESS.

DO NOT AGREE TO MEET OTHER PARTIES ON THE BUYERS BEHALF.

VERIFY PAYMENT THROUGH YOUR BANK. You'll know when they are legit. If any part of it makes you suspicious go with your gut. I have included the emails and all the info about the paypal scam. The Facebook ones I also mentioned are new. I don't know if all of the documents will show. I can send the rest to you. Please let me know.

This is a general complaint. I am frequently targeted by companies claiming my extended auto warranty is either expired or rates increasing. The letters and phone calls relay urgency and are misleading, to confuse you. These are from several different companies and they use tactics that are targeting elderly or misinformed people. This type of sales ploy should be illegal.

I was scammed at this food truck. They didn't tell me the price until after they scanned my card. I bought a gyro that should have been $7 which later I saw they charged my card $65. Also, after you pay they refuse to give you a receipt. I searched the food truck online and multiple other customer have said they have been scammed. They target tourists and charge their cards way more than what the customers sign off for. The food truck has no way of contacting them. They have no phone number to call.

My 76 year old mother was walking through DEERBROOK mall in Humble and was approached by a lady selling skin care products at Gold Elements. They took her into their store front and pressured her for an hour and 15 minutes and she continually told them she was not interested in spending so much money. They pressured her until she gave them 3 different cards to purchase some skincare products. The total came out to almost $8000.00. Being as old as she is, and the fact that she just got out of the hospital with a heart monitor on...she caved so she could leave.

Once she came home upset and told me, I told her not to open anything and we would return them. Once I looked at the receipt, it says she cannot return. Once i did some research on this company, I learned that this is what they do. Prey on the elderly. Numerous claims online about this company. It runs under different names in many countries. I have filed a police report and the officer said this isnt the first that this had happened at this location. BEWARE!!!!!!

This business has had multiple employees who they did not pay. This business poaches customers from other businesses that sell similar products.

Good Morning, This is Jerry Patrick the hiring manager for the mystery shopper in your area. In a text message I sent you yesterday, I mentioned that you would be receiving the payment and the instruction letter together for the mystery shopper assignment. But I regret to inform you that our secretary who mailed the payment to you made a significant error by including our old numbers in the instruction letter you received with the check yesterday, which is (973-264-9940 and 320-348-0725). If you text those numbers to notify us of the payment you received yesterday, You won't receive a response from those old numbers.This is the right number to send a notification 279-867-7819 of the payment you received yesterday . Kindly confirm that you receive the package yesterday by texting this number 279-867-7819 with; Your Full Name, Amount Received, and time to complete your Task. to confirm receipt of this message.

Received 2 separate pieces of USPS priority mail from the person/business I named around May 24. Each package contained only the flimsy PPE masks typically provided at public places (even though research shows now that they don’t really protect the wearer.) The packages contained no paper inside. Less than a week after those original mailings, I had three purchases under 2$ each charged to my checking account. I don’t know that they’re connected but mention the information in case they are. The charges were from “Meta Pay” (as in Facebook I guess.)

On May 8, 2023 my checking account at JP Morgan Chase was hacked & $4460 was unlawfully taken out of my account. I have had this account for exactly 31 years & nothing like this has ever happened before. The vendor that removed the money was Netspend & removed everything in my account in increments of $500, $500, $500, $500, $475, $490, $498, $498 & $499. The Chase Claims Dept. refuses to credit my account saying that the fraudster had my debit card number & pin. These are not my charges & I am requesting restitution of the stolen money for which I worked. Thank you.

These texts come from short code 59024. I have checked, and this is not a valid number. One text stated I have a prescription to be refilled and wanted me to click on a link. Another stated I had a prescription to be refilled and gave a partial name of a medication that I do not take.

He was very smooth and talked constantly. Did not have a chance to get too much words or questions in. He was big. Offered to clean out and repair the cracks in our drive-way. The agreed upon amount for the work was $2K. He kept referring to Sherwin Williams - they got the product from Sherwin Williams. All they did was clean the driveway; they did not repair the cracks. This was 5.25.23. They would be back in a couple business days (assumed that is what they meant). They have not been back as of 6.2.23. We have no information on them - except one guy said they were from Tennesse and they all had a southern accent so I assumed that is they were from.

Chase bank took extra money out of my account for Humana when I canceled Humana to go with CalViva Health, and they took 57 dollars out of my account for a transaction I did not make. Chase bank is always doing this to me even though I am a victim of identity theft and fraud. I have proof and everything documented. I decide to close my account and take my banking needs elsewhere. Beware of chase bank. This is not the first time I had a problem with them, but now it will be the last.

I was scammed this morning from someone claiming to be with Comcast/Xfinity. The offer me a super deal on cable and internet. Fist caller explained the program which I agreed to then he gave me a program code and had me call a number who claim to be Comcast accounting # 1888-43-7698. To compete the "special Deal" I needed to get a Target gift card in the amount $300 plus dollars which would be used to pay 2 months service. I hassled with them and I was threatened the contract would be turned over to a collection company for this payment plus $1800 for the remaining 24 months of the contract. At that point I hung up the phone. The said all my agreements were recorded which I knew. I can be reach is necessary at 907-870-5072.

I ordered a Sleep Apnea device on line through Avaniliving. It was a small device that you place in your nose that has a rechargeable battery and was to mimic the air flow of a CPAP mask without actually wearing one. When I placed my order I order 2 of them because they said the battery life was about 6 months, plus they were On Sale and the sale was Ending that day.!!! When I finally received the product 2 weeks later my husband and I took a look at it and both agreed their was NO WAY it was going to work ( Cheap piece of plastic). So I initiated the refund process and mind you it is stated twice on their website 30 day money back guarantee, try it risk free! You can only contact them via email. So I did. They informed me that due to health and safety regulations they were unable to except it back because it had been used, but as a gesture of "Good Faith" they would refund me $40.00 of the $67.00 I spent. ?????

I responded that the device was never used and that my husband and I had opened the package and inspected the device and deemed it inadequate, so I was returning it for a full refund. They responded that they could not take it back due to Health and Safety regulations and because we had opened the package. But after 3 days of back and forth emails and frustration I gave up and took the $40.00 the original offered. I don't get how they can say 30 day money back guarantee, try it RISK free. And by the way over the course of 8 weeks their website that states "Buy now Sale ends today!" Is on their site everyday!!!!?

Sincerely

Never Again

I received a letter in the mail stating that I was awarded a cash settlement for over $1,600 in the Directtv TCPA settlement. They wanted me to fill out a W9 to receive the money. They also stated that I would still receive the payment if I did not submit the W9 but taxes would be withheld. I feel thid is a scam to get my personal information

i was trying to sign up for Flowbird parkinjg. i searched on flowbird and i guess i hit something that first came into my search engine result. i thought i was in the flowbird app but i was not. i stupidly signed up and gave them my paypal debit card inof as a way to charge for any future services (in my mind i would pay for parking in Wrightsville beach later that day using the flowbird app of which i was setting up my account that morning). i did not authorize any charge and upon exiting i was notified by email that Paypal paid them $49.95. I did notify paypal and asked them to rescind the payment, that is now being initiated. I can tell from their website that this cannot be a legitimate business https://wlygt.top/index.php please investigate. Paul Faltisco call. text or email all work for me (919) 539-0014 [email protected]
