Several friends on facebook started messaging me to ask if I'd sent them messages on email from instagram. Something about Mega Bonus. No, I had not and now there are 5 who have gotten one. I put up a notice I'd been hacked on Facebook. I am very upset and don't know what to do. Facebook friends started letting me know someone was sending them so called messages from me on Instagram. I'm not even on Instagram and don't use it. It wants them to open my message and a couple did. Something about Mega Bonus. Please make them leave me alone.

They called and verified last four digits of my SSN, and my first and last name.  I told the first guy that I was going to report them to the ScamPulse.com and the Police Department and he hung up the phone.  I called the number back and the guy requested my name and I informed him that I was going to contact the ScamPulse.com and the Police the department and  then I hung up the phone.

Person called impersonating MidAmerican Energy saying they were going to shut our power off if we didn't rush a payment of $1,750 for a mandatory meter upgrade deposit. Instructed us to withdraw cash and physically deliver to an address that claimed to be a gas station where you could pay MidAmerican bills. When you call the number 1-800-863-0680, it appears to be a legitimate company answering service. However, I called the main line posted on MidAmerican's website and they confirmed this was not legitimate and that a different customer had just called about a similar thing today. MidAmerican claims they will never ask you to bring cash to any location and meter upgrades would be of no charge to the customer.

The scammer sent a private message via Instagram saying they’re looking for brand ambassadors to wear their eyeglasses. There’s no website, email or phone but looks like there are fake Instagram accounts. They route you to an Instagram page that pretends you can become an Influencer.

Contacted through Facebook given link on telegram. Was told it was data entry job was emailed document to sign with companies policies etc then asked for pictures of drivers license front and back n social security card as well. Bank information and I even opened a Walmart money card scammer was given information and pincode. Then scammer ordered check books from another bank with my name on them as well as someone else's name he had me write a check for $4850.00;and deposit it in my bank account. I didn't think that was right so I had them stop payment I called the other bank and reported fraud and tried to get into my @@ID-ME account and he already charged the login so I don't have any way of stopping this guy from stealing my identity

Received a text that my USPS package could not be delivered because of a missing address. I recently dropped off a package at the post office. On the website that I was directed to had the United States postal logo and information. It asked me to update my name and address and then to add a credit card to verify.

If I completed a survey, I would be able to claim my prize of a pressure washer. I only had to pay shipping and handling which was $8.95 for which they asked for my credit card.

I called and this eastern indian get on the phone and state that I can cancel, and state to walk me thur the steps to cancel. He wanted access to my checking and and I asked why and he said that's is one of the steps to get your refund we need to see your account, I told him that's not going to happen and hung up and locked me out of my laptop. How I got the 754 number was he called me from that number and asked me if I was going to let him to see my checking account, I told him no way. My laptop is still locked. On the Statement I received from that, which I still have in email form, is a big ScamPulse.com logo stating approved and in good standing. Feel free to contact me, I'm 71 and retired. Mr. T

Robert Hendrix PayPal business-SCAM

Here is what happened to me and my savings account

From March to 06/01 the above business was able to hack into my savings account not checking but savings account. This is surprising since there were no alerts of any suspicious activity or multiple withdrawals in one day.

I had not checked my savings activities since I have never used the account for any other purpose except to deposit money from my checking to my savings account.

No vendor or other entity has this account number fyi so from starting in April this company in March withdrew 10.00, 50.00 ,90.00 and 290.00 same day then

$490.00 next day then 50.00 190 190 290 50 and then 50 190 190 290 50 then May nothing and June 1 2006 $1900.00 this is where he messed up-to much money for me not to notice my balance had dropped significantly

this is a warning that savings are unsecured with no security alerts unless you set it up separately from your checking alerts. The bank was SDCCU. I have security and limits set up on my checking and assumed I had the same protection with my savings. The only way to have savings secure is to setup text alerts whenever a withdrawal is made on your savings account.

We have had most of the money return to us by SDCCU and the March with drawls are under review to see if they will cover the fraud. This is another fyi- banks are only able to go back 60 days to file a dispute online in the branch. Otherwise, they have to manually request, which takes more time to get the approval to have money returned back to your new account.

Obviously , you want all new accounts checking and savings:)

Happens everytime I list something on Marketplace. They ask if available. I answer yes. Then they want to call me so they ask for my phone number. It's so bad that I immediately check the profile. There has to be something done. I think about all the people out there that these fake accounts are preting on.

Monday, May 29 scammer claimed to be with Xfinity and was partnering with Target. The was to reduce my Xfinity bill to $104 for 20 months, if I payed the first months (4x$104) with a Target gift card worth $416. Then they texted Tuesday May 30 and said there was a problem with the Target card and asked me to get a different one. I called Xfinity, and they told me they had no such promotion. I realized I'd been scammed. I feel rather foolish.

They said my social security number was being used in new Mexico and that It was involved in something . And he said something like identity theft . Than they said I had 2 option that it it be reported and it be put in the newspaper and I'd go to court over it and something bout my bank account that I'd need to remove money from it cause it was going to get frozen due to what they said was going on that I need to remove money from my account to put on the cards and give them the numbers that it all was being sent to social security and that I would have to go there to recover it( they gave me a name And. Case number and claimed to be from the FDIC) .I was stopped by a worker at the store I got the card and she told me that there's a scam going on people are getting people that way .than I called the moneypak card place and told them what was going on they said the cards was registered under someone else's name not mine and that they froze all cards.they than asked me to send in pictures of all cards front and back and all the receipts for them . I did that I got a email back from money pak 5-20-23 saying there was no funds recovered .I knew that 2 of 9 cards that there was still money on them cause they was never activated . So I called them back and the resubmitted the claim again on 5-20-23 and on 5-24-23 was told again no funds could be recovered .I called Walmart MoneyPak/ green dot and kept getting the run around was sent to multiple departments and or hung up on .I did get info from. One person saying that the 2 cards that wasn't activated was closed but funds where taken off after which absolutely make no sense and said was under someone else's name . Those two cards was never given to scammer like the others so therefore they took funds off it .
