Let’s see, this may be long.

At first I was looking at recipe videos on Facebook. Then a page came up that said something no one has found all the dolphins in this picture, can you?. Well I taught math for several years so of course this enticed me. After I determined the number I turned in my answer. And wow a few minutes later told me I had won, won what? I thought it was local and I get my name there so my friends would see I did it.

Well that’s when it all started. I thought in was a company to help small businesses. I have many pics of the conversation that happened. They took my information, my Facebook account. And my drivers license so then they could attempt to be me. Well my son called me and told me he saw a Facebook thing that had my name to him. That’s when I finally said yes I think I know what was happening so I played them at their own game. I’ve been having a conversation with myself and to be nice they offered proof that they were a real person and I gasped when I saw a picture of my own divers license came back to me. Well now I’ve been having small conversation with myself, asking myself for money. It’s really funny in a way except that people may be participating since I was a teacher in this small town for years and I”m the wife of a pastor of one of the oldest churches in the county over 100 years. I really don’t want anyone to get hurt by my name. The person who tricked me is probably long gone once they realized I figured out the scam. What can I do? I don't like anyone impersonating me for money especially a charity type. Is there anything I can do to stop this? I would appreciate any help you can give.

Facebook name used is ******* **** but man that called me was"**** *****(s)"

They reached out to me about renting "their" home. Showed me pictures, told me the amount of rent with utilities included. Sent me a rental application, I couldn't print it out and send it to them so I was told to write it all down on a piece of paper so I did. After this is when it started getting questionable. They wanted to run a criminal and eviction background checks. They said we had to do all of this before we could view the house. We didn't have a problem doing that but the they asked for a code for ID.me and they had it sent to our phone numbers. We did not send them the code. They were very persistent on getting the codes and we refused to send it after information on the call not adding up. I called the assessor's office and confirmed that there are not the owners of the home that Darrell Ferguson is the actual owner.

I received a call from a "Restricted" number. A gentleman with an Indian accent identified himself as Officer Eric Wilson of the US Customs agency. He confirmed my name and said the agency had intercepted a suspicious package in my name coming from Mexico. He said his Badge # was #925B12 and my case number was #CD8401922 (he told me to write it down) and that this was a recorded call or something about the US Marshall Service having access to the call. He asked if was expecting a package and/or knew anyone who could send me a package from Mexico. I said no. He said the scanners had picked up that it contained illegal substances. He listed off a couple addresses in Texas (I wasn't able to write them down) as the destination of two suspicious packages in my name and asked if I had any connection to them. I said do not. He asked if I had ever been to Texas. I said I have, but only in childhood. He asked me to confirm that these were not my packages and I wasn't involved in illegal activity. Also he listed off a number of big U.S. financial institutions (Bank of America, Wells Fargo, Citibank, a couple others but I didn't catch them) and said large transfers had been made (in my name, I think?) and asked me to confirm if I had any connection to those institutions. I said "no". Asked me to confirm again "on this recorded line" that I have no connection to any of the preceding info. And then he said there was a warrant out for my arrest and asked if I wanted my call to be transferred to the U.S. Marshall Service. I said "No, thank you," and he said something like "thank you for your time" and hung up.

 The actual company is reported to be out of business in the state of Missouri. A fraudulent company is using the same name and address. Consumers are being mislead into doing business.

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.

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.

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:)
