There was a Facebook ad in my thread this morning from the American Cancer Society that clearly said make a donation to fund mammograms today. So I clicked on the chat bubble to ask how I would receive a mammogram through the American Cancer Society and they said they do not fund them themselves, however the ad is asking for a donation to pay for mammograms.

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.

Visitor (10:20:58 EST) : ever?

Tessa (10:21:07 EST) : Correct, you will not be charged for any future renewal

Scammer mailed a form resembling a government tax document titled 'form 5102'

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!

Verizon currently has a commercial "claiming" that you can trade in ANY phone, in ANY condition to get a new phone. I went to trade in my phone and sure enough they gave me

a bunch of excuses and refused to honor their claim. I am sick & tired of FALSE ADVERTISING! It IS a Misdemeanor!!!

Being charged for Prime Video Tv On Demand orders that I have never placed an order for. This has happened automatically. First two times, a Wade Commons was charging my account. This is the third time it happens. All pertaining entities have been advised and have done their part to correct the situation. No action requested from BBB. Thankful it was resolved.
