Someone called and said they were calling from Amazon because there was a suspicious purchase on my account. It was a computer/tablet and an Ipod that went to it - about $1500 worth of items. I told them I did not purchase that and they told me they would connect me to the fraud department in California. I talked to Officer Alex Russell Badge number spc32961 - he said he was a justice protection officer from the state of California. He instructed me to go to my bank account and take out all my savings account but leave $200 so noone gets suspicious which was a total of $9,800. He then told me to go to 7/11 and get the go2bank visa cards. I spent 4 hours and went to 4 stores - and ended up purchasing the maximum at each store - which was $2,500 at each store and the last store was $2,000. He stayed on the phone with me the whole time I was doing this and then I gave him all the numbers for the gift cards.

The officer called me later and said that there was a warrant out for me with the State of California having to do with money laundering in China and another country totaling 5 Million dollars and it is all in my name and not to tell anyone about it because they could be watching me. He then wanted to speak to me about going into my CD's to get that money out so he can help me to straighten out this warrant. He told me that a police officer and a social security officer would be coming to give me a new social security number and give me money back from the money I spent buying the gift cards. He is supposed to call me back this morning to discuss this but now I know it is a scam, and will not engage.

Uses AI celebrities to “give away “ free cookware from LeCruset. It’s really entering the buyer into a drawing for the cookware and bills people upwards of $150 for information on cooking and other things.

I followed page because it seemed that they did a lot of good helping people out just randomly so I commented on some of the posts on Facebook every once in a while they pick random people. They claim to give away on line iPhones, MacBooks, cash, cars it really depends on what they wish to hand out or give away. My dealing was I liked what they showed they do. Commenting how great that it was via videos. Every so often they include people following posts, as I did. Now the main person Jaun had IMed me. So during one of our chats and noticed he was giving away a MacBook pro at that time. So I stopped chatting with him and commented that I'd like one. I went back to the chat. Well I was on the chat I got an alert that my name was picked comment was picked to receive a MacBook pro. So I told him thank you very much and told him that I would like to meet him one day since he's in Phoenix often handing things out. Now I have the messaging from my side of it because he deleted his side twice. He involved another man that was supposed to send it to you MacBook pro named James Brown who apparently worked for FedEx. So he also deleted our conversation or his half of it. So they both told me that I needed to go get a Google or Apple card and send the information about the card to them for shipment. And for whatever reason I guess because there's been a lot of scamming done with him I couldn't find those two particular cards. So he had told me to pick up some kind of prepaid card. And I did and I gave him the information which at that point when he filled it out locked me out of it then he claimed that he did not get any money. And I started getting after quite a bit I started getting a little upset. So Jaun again he's the main person giving stuff away or the only person giving stuff away. James Brown and told him to go ahead and send it to me. Then I guess Mr Brown got up in arms over this I do not know why because there was $50 on the card I sent him having a receipt in the card in my possession did me no good anymore once Mr Brown filled the information out the card became the money on the card became his he just had to wait to get the card sent to his house actual card with his name on it sent to him so he could retrieve the money now in the last couple days I've noticed there's a few other people that have had the same thing happen or close to it. So maybe that's how they get all the money they do to do this stuff they do give away iPhones and MacBook pros and pay People's rent $1,500 and buy people cars and hand them out I don't get it they can't possibly be getting $50 from people like me to turn around and give it out that means they'd be getting all God ungodly amounts of $50 cards. But nonetheless they both blocked me from instant messaging because I guess they have it turned on to where they can control that. But as I stated I have my side of it in which you can conclude where the conversation was going half of what was said. So I'm sure I could take a screenshot of those conversations and send it to you again they're half of the conversation has been deleted which I don't know how that can be done but. I feel that I wanted that for potential working at home and also told them both that the money I was giving them was rightfully supposed to go to my car insurance and said I had $100 I can either buy dog food car insurance or dog food and $50 for a MacBook pro. Which I probably would have sold bought a cheaper computer and then had money to pay my insurance and more dog food.

Scammer called me pretending to be with fraud prevention of the State Employees Credit Union, claimed my account was being targeted by numerous Apple Pay charges. Asked me to move money from my savings to my checking account and from there to Apple Pay. Even suggested I Google his phone number, which was the spoofed credit union number, and when I refused to move money to Apple Pay and made my intention to hang up and call fraud prevention clear, they hung up.

I do not know how they got by info. These people tried over and over sometimes 3 or 4 times a day to get this money. Cash app kept them from going thru because they would send it to me to see if I had did the charge. This went on for 2 months. Got a knew card and within 12 hours the scammers submitted another charge. It went thru but I got my money back. I don't know who these people are but someone should be concerned about this.

My Facebook account was hacked and the imposter is using my likeness and friends list to post and target others for a cryptocurrency scam.  This imposter is harming my personal reputation and I know of at least one person who has fallen victim to the scam.  All I want is to have the profile deleted, but it is impossible to contact anyone with Facebook.

Imposter hacked my Facebook account profile and continues to pose as me while celebrating all the good they're doing by making folks lots of money in fake cryptocurrency investments. It's very unsettling to me personally and to at least one of my friends who has unfortunately fallen victim to this scam, all the while thinking it was truly me. I just want my Facebook profile deleted permanently, but there is no way at all I have found to contact anyone at Facebook.

Scammer sent an email impersonating Square.com (retail business app) informing me that a customer of ours disputed a credit card transaction in the amount of 1,700.00 and wanted a refund. The hyperlink attached was tied to a website called Maxformwork.com (clearly not Square) the link went to a sub directory of their site that resembled Square.com perfectly.

False advertising on website. Scammers called from a NC 919 phone number, wouldn't provide me any information as far as an address or phone number to their corporate office, and the product was shipped from Garden Grove California. After payment form was entered in and not completed nor authorized for purchase, my son looked at the website and informed me it is a scam and not to finalize any payment info and press cancel and close out the scammers website. I pressed cancel so my payment would not go through. Upon choosing the cancel option, the next screen that came up was a payment successful screen. So, no matter if you choose cancel, the scammers will still charge your payment method. The serum came in the mail and I did not authorize any purchase to receive this. The scammers called my phone and were extremely rude and disrespectful to me. Over talking me and very defensive when I asked for someone above the individual on the phone. The 2 people I spoke with (male and female) have a very strong accent. I asked for a way to return the product I did not order, and they told me I needed to make a payment on the "balance" I owe before they could process the "payment" return and that I could mail it back and would need to pay shipping costs which I will not do since I never ordered this product. I asked them to email me a return shipping label at their expense and the male became very aggressive with his tone and words and just kept repeating the same things over and over again back to back. He said in order to cancel the subscription for recurring orders of the item, I would need to pay the "balance owed." This is a scam and I will be disputing the unauthorized transaction through my bank. These scammers seem to be using a fake phone number to call people that have the same area code as the person they are trying to contact. Possibly using an online system to generate a phone number with the same area code as their targets and then changing the ISP address and generating another fake phone number to keep scamming people out of money.

Called from an unknown number looking for a family member and said they had a pending case regarding money against them and provided a fake case number. This call happened at 7pm which is well after when a court would be open. They also said it was very urgent and to give an 800 number a call back immediately. I forgot to grab the number.
