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.

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.

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?

Simply put: received a spam email from above email address that has nothing to do with their products just a reference to my Amazon account which is bogus. Used the fake sender address: [email protected].

Never contaced Cookies by Design in the past.

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.

Got a text from Acc-Alert without any contact info attached to look at but providing the phone number saying my account has been “L0CKED for your security”. No idea which account/company and uses incorrect parentheses and the number 0 for the letter O as well as abbreviated “account”. Provided the message ID of ******* with # on each side and the number to call being 866-894-0377.

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.

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

A couple of weeks ago they texted me saying that I had a package that was undeliverable because my address was incorrect. In the meantime, my son had sent me two items that never got to me. So when the second attempt was made, and the site came up as “USPS” and it looked identical to the site I use for informed delivery, I decided to put in the information. My area has not so great service, so when they wanted .09 for delivery on a card, it did not surprise me bc the last time something came postage due , the carrier would not accept cash. I got a message from my bank ask if I had linked my debit card recently to an Apple Pay device. So I was able to contact the bank before I had any problems.

A scammer texted me saying my USPS package needed a redelivery and came with a fee, I had ordered something recently so it didn’t seem like a scam, I put it my banking information, my name and address and soon realized it was a scam.

Message me that they were interested in an item I had posted on Facebook to sell. Kept asking for my phone number but never called it. Insisted on a confirmation number to verify myself. Finally, after they didn't choose to call my number that it was an actual scam. Reported this to Facebook as well.

Received an unwanted email from: [email protected] claiming to be from McAfee. I never signed up for these emails. The emails contained what appeared to be screenshot images of a McAfee anti-virus software ad. I have tried to unsubscribe from these emails multiple times. The images in the emails led to unsecure webpages; http://mcaffe.securitytactics.com/rd/su19690JDcjz592460kHQU299FlB1150Uutq1200

I was approached by a girl selling concert tickets to a show I really wanted to go to. She sent me proof of everything and I did my research on her account, everything checked out. I was skeptical to send her money through Zelle because of the risks, but I had tried to send the money through paypal goods and services and it failed to go through. We came to a deal to send the money in smaller portions and after sending $250 she would send 1 ticket. I messaged back and forth with her for four hours trying to help her transfer the tickets to my account but nothing was working and she still had my money.

They claimed to be Marco Franco saying that I won a sum of $500,000 and says contact his agent
