Impersonation of Mr. Beast, tells you to go to swagscash.com and then steals your PayPal account and your bank account and then also wants you to install potentially malicious software.

This scam has been going on for at least 2 years and Mr Beast himself has publicly spoken out against this and is extremely frustrated at the hundreds of thousands of people that are being scammed using his image.

I got an email sent saying I have a $300 invoice for a purchase and I knew it wasnt accurate. So I called the number on the email and they claimed I could send them a $500 gift card to get it taken care of. I immediately hung up and knew it was a scam.

A text from USPS saying they have a package in transit with the wrong shipping address. I filled out the form until it asked for my credit card to pay for redelivery. I did not give my credit card information and filed this scam report instead.

They told me there was an American Express promotion for $29/day, but I had to put $400 down. Then he told me to send them $430. Then they told me the payment didn't process and I needed to send him $429. Then he tried to get more money out of me. I called another number and found out we were scammed.

I began receiving text messages about suspicious activity on my Amazon account. I ignored them at first but then called Amazon. I was told I had not paid a bill of forty dollars. They said it was for some books I had ordered. Then they said it was sixty dollars plus late fees. All together it was for ninety some odd dollars. I recalled having ordered some books online. I thought I must have used my Amazon card and had forgotten. I paid them over the phone with my bank debit card. Later I discovered the books had been paid for by another card. Then I received another text message saying there was suspicious activity on my Amazon card. I texted back that I was making a police report. When I looked at my Amazon purchase history online there was no activity on my card during the time of the purchase of the books. I had used another card.

They allow you to deposit money and then want you to verify yourself, via web video, ID, selfie and 1099 form with SS. Then they deny you and won't allow withdrawal of any winnings, but will continue to allow you to play and deposit cash.

Scammer created a website which looked like the TSA PreCheck renewal site, using the email entered, emailed me with a problem with my application and a link to re-enter, then charged the fee for the application of $149.95 on top of the $100 fee charged by Global Entry.

A person with the FaceBook Messenger name of "Erin, Erin" responded to a FaceBook MarketPlace listing i had posted and claimed to want to buy the product, but needed to verify my identity first using a GoogleVoice 6-digit code sent to my cell phone. I did give my cell phone number and then texted back the 6-digit code. Now i understand that this enables them to setup alias phone numbers that claim to be me, or, perhaps, to go further with the information to try to set up accounts or things that might ruin my credit. WHAT CAN I DO?

They advertise these items @ Great prices, you pay through PayPal and you never receive anything! This has happened to me 4 times. They keep changing their Co. name each time they sell you something.

I lost altogether $300, for the 4 items I ordered @ different times.

I was selling something and I made a post on Facebook marketplace. There were two people/accounts Marry (unsure last name) and Cynthia Hall. Both said they interested in a dresser I was selling and both asked for a phone number for "verification that this was a real post" and then both asked for a 6 digit code. I knew then it was a scam.

I applied to remote job on Glassdoor and got a email from a G***** A****** from the recruiting team and was directed to speak with hiring manager on teams who asked me a 3 sets of questions and showed a job description that looked like it came from the company. I was eventually offered the job where I was asked to pay for the equipment 650$ and then I’d be reimbursed. The time in which the “hiring manager” would respond were late in the evening or late night. So I did some research and found that the company and called the actually company which was a dead end the recipient didnt speak English I don’t think this is a legit source

I have been getting calls every morning on my landline for the last couple of weeks. The caller says he is from Amazon and he has an accent. I can hear others in the background. He says I owe them $1199 for something from Apple. The caller ID reflects a cupcake store in Westerville, Ohio.
