Someone tried to make a purchase off of my debit card without me being present. I was in a different state at the time. My bank flagged it as fraud. My bank stated that they have seen several transactions from the same store and location for other members.

The Website has recipe pictures, some pics have the recipe; but I clicked on one bread picture that said, if you want the recipe type yes. I did and I got a telegram link that said: t.me/ I clicked on it, and supposedly was chatting with him. Then I was asked if I had a VIP fan card. I said I had no idea what that was. Chat Gpt said that's not available in Orlando. Then the person said I had to contact someone from his management to be referred to be able to buy them. The scammer asked for my age, employment status, and if I paid taxes in the U.S. and it scared me when I was asked if I wanted to meet him I had to buy that VIP card. Bottom line I said this is a scam, I even apologized in case it was not. Then blocked him and the account now says that's Aqua-man management: @official_aquaman_management7
Also internet said verified websites have a ? I went ahead and joined the real one.
The one I think is fake is the one that is called "Gordon Ramsay recipes" it has emojis of fast food: ?? ?? ?? ?? there are a lot of moderators, and administrators, Which could be real...that same website says: we are removing scammers. I think they are the scammers. Unfortunately now they have my phone number.
Please report this to the real Chef!

This website is one where you can contact people from other countries in order to get connected and possibly start a relationship. I have been speaking to a lady from China and she says she's coming to me here on the 20th of November, but the travel information which she has sent me in the website was blocked. I've tried talking to customer service to verify if this girl is real or not but I just keep getting the run around. I have spent a lot money of a long period of time so I can talk to her and now I think this is a scam. I can only come to this conclusion since I can't get travel plans, and they won't get it for me. So she can't be real I'm guessing.

I am reporting a fraudulent scam business. "Toby's on the River" is an unlicensed, illegal "business" being run out of a house, with a business address that doesn't exist. The scammer is masquerading as a legitimate business online using google, and offer "hiking tours" to unsuspecting victims. There is no registered LLC or anything legal about the operation, and the person running it is a scammer who also scammed my aunt, who was previously married to him. His name is George M****** and he needs to be charged with operating a scam fake illegal business out of his house.

I was looking for necklaces for all my female in laws. They had a great deal buy one get two free. I ordered 9 and instantly a woman named Lauren started texting me non stop about it. It was late so as soon as I woke up, I cancelled them. The whole thing seemed off. I emailed them to cancel it about 15 times now and they just keep sending me updates. There is no phone number, address and their email is invalid.

Toll By Plate. When you make the payment, they have an invoice number and an account number on their bill. When you make the payment, they process the payment but do not apply the payment to the invoice. They then send out another bill, only this next bill will have a different invoice number and add an additional fee. (1) The reason for a different invoice number is so any bank payment system will not reflect the second payment with the payment that was already made. (2) The reason for the automatic additional charge being added is so the payment amount will not trigger any indication the payment was already made. This is "Double Dipping" with the second bill generating more revenue than the first payment. If you call, they will say that yes, they process payments when they come in, but do not apply the payment to the account until a month or two later. (1) I refer to this as the subdue those that catch the trick, by just advising them the payment will be applied.
If a business is going to take 30 days to apply a payment to accounts, (*) No bills should be allowed to be sent out until 30 days after the payment due date. If this no duplicate bills until payment processing time has passed is not already a law, then a law needs to be passed in order to prevent businesses from double dipping, such as in the case with Toll By Plate.

A man showed up at the door claiming to be the energy company, saying the account wasn’t set up correctly and he needed to see the energy bill. Then he said we were being charged too high a rate and he could adjust that for us. Did not find out until the end of the interaction that he was from a company called Indra Energy not the utility company. Then it was incredibly difficult to contact them and get them to actually cancel the account in the 3 day period.

I recently moved, have been at new address 4 wks. Received a mailing from BJ's Wholesale Club with my name and new address. There would be no way for them to know my new address. I had a membership several years ago and paid with a check for that membership for 1 yr. The letter lists an account # of 01081272422 and says they will bill my Visa ending in 4167 $55.00 for the membership. I don't believe I have a Visa with this number. I went online to chat asking them if I had a membership and to cancel it. The letter says: Please read this letter carefully, as it includes information about your upcoming BJ's Easy Renewal. A FAQ says: Whay am I enrolled in BJ's easy Renewal? This is a membership benefit that you or a household or complimentary supplemental member enrolled in on 3/5/2024.
I chatted with the online chat to cancel whatever membership they said was active (which I doubt). They gave me cancellation confirmation # 9205689.
I believe this is a scam to get people to call them to update the Visa #, question the membership and then be signed up.....
Here is a copy of part of our chat:
Visitor (10:05:27 EST) : i am not sure why i have a renewal when I cancelled the account several years ago.
Visitor (10:05:33 EST) : why do I have a renewal notice?
Visitor (10:05:55 EST) : I think this is just a SPAM mailing and want to toss it out.
Visitor (10:06:14 EST) : I want to be sure you don't have something to process as a renewal either
Tessa (10:06:32 EST) : I understand your concern, Paula.
Tessa (10:07:00 EST) : Upon checking your membership is currently active and you have received the renewal notice for your membership.
Visitor (10:07:36 EST) : i would like to cancel the membership period. It should not be active at all
Visitor (10:07:57 EST) : i do not want or need to renew and i don't know how it it active if I haven't paid for it.
Visitor (10:08:10 EST) : when did I last pay for the membership?
Visitor (10:08:18 EST) : and what was the amount charged?
Visitor (10:08:46 EST) : i believe you are incorrect with your information and I do not have an active account
Tessa (10:09:30 EST) : I apologize for the confusion, Paula.
Tessa (10:10:24 EST) : Upon checking the membership number that you provided is still active and you have received the notification for the renewal for that membership.
Tessa (10:10:26 EST) : If you'd like to cancel the membership please let me know, I will check and assist you further with the cancelation.
Visitor (10:10:45 EST) : i would like to cancel whatever account you show
Visitor (10:10:58 EST) : can you tell me when you show the last membership payment????
Tessa (10:12:02 EST) : I will check that information for you right now. Ple[censored]d on for a moment.
Tessa (10:12:56 EST) : Thank you for your patience.
Tessa (10:13:41 EST) : Upon checking your return inquiry, our team informed us that they will contact you within 3 business days to pick up the return item.
Visitor (10:13:58 EST) : what?
Tessa (10:14:19 EST) : I apologize for the confusion. Please ignore previous text.
Visitor (10:14:45 EST) : when do you show the last membership payment????
Tessa (10:16:11 EST) : I apologize, we are not authorized to share this information on our chat.
Tessa (10:16:11 EST) : However, I will go ahead and request our team to cancel the membership.
Visitor (10:16:20 EST) : wow
Tessa (10:16:32 EST) : They will cancel your membership within 7-10 business days and you will not be charged for the future.
Visitor (10:16:52 EST) : how about while doing whatever you claim to do to close the account, you also remove my name and address from your mailing lists.
Visitor (10:17:05 EST) : I believe you are lying and I do not have a active account
Visitor (10:17:36 EST) : i also believe the credit card number is fake as well
Visitor (10:17:42 EST) : what a SCAM
Tessa (10:17:45 EST) : I understand your frustration, and I assure you that I’m here to help.
Tessa (10:17:46 EST) : I will make a note to remove your name and address from our mailing list as part of the cancellation process.
Tessa (10:18:25 EST) : But please allow us 2-3 months to stop receiving the coupon mailers as some of them were out in advance.
Tessa (10:19:18 EST) : I will send you the confirmation number regarding your membership cancelation as well.
Tessa (10:19:45 EST) : Also it is possible that the card details are of your household member that is linked to your membership renewal
Visitor (10:19:52 EST) : I figured this mailing was a SCAM. I should have just tossed it out
Tessa (10:20:38 EST) : I completely understand your concerns, and I apologize for any confusion this has caused.
Tessa (10:20:42 EST) : However, I have requested for the cancelation of your membership. Here is your reference number 9205689
Tessa (10:20:50 EST) : You will not be charged in the future.

The form indicated it was a 'mandatory beneficial ownership reporting' and that the business was required to pay a filing fee of $119 and requested personal information for owners or operators of the company.
The date in the repsond by field was incorrectly listed so I knew it was a scam. No phone number or website information.

My boyfriend received several phone calls from a restricted number from a person claiming to be from the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes. Since my boyfriend had not entered into the Publishers Clearing House Sweepstakes, and the fact that the scammer did not know my boyfriend's name, he immediately recognized it as a scam. He hung up the phone after a verbal altercation with the scammer. I hope that sharing this information might help someone else from falling prey to this scam!
