I was looking for insurance through "Homeowners Insurance Compare" (hereafter referred to as HIC), https://homeownersinsurancecompare.com/, and when I made it through the initial quote process (after which the website is supposed to provide quotes), I immediately received a phone call from this number. The person on the call tried to walk the line between pretending to be a representative of that company, but when they started asking for information that had been in the quote already, I started trying to dig into what their specific company was. Eventually they just stopped responding. To the best of my knowledge, I did not give out any particularly sensitive information, providing only confirmations and not any further information than what they already had. But still. As best as I can tell, they were absolutely not a legitimate business and yet were able to immediately get information on me from the comparison website listed earlier. I can't know on this side of the interaction whether this is the result of HIC sharing the information to anyone who will take it, or if it is the result of a security issue on their end, but regardless the company that contacted me by phone sure appears to be a scam.

I was told that if I had a certain amount of money in my account then the scammer was able to double it. He had “proof” on his Instagram page and i believed it. He told me to link a card to my cashapp then add my funds to it then told me to unlink it. Once I did he hung up on me and blocked my number. I reported it to cashapp but they aren’t doing anything about it. I should at least get some if not all of my money that I had lost.

The caller identified herself as "Lauren Carney" and asked to speak with a physician I support. I told them they were unavailable and asked to take a message for them. The caller listed the physician's license number and stated that there was an ongoing investigation and potential legal action against them, asking the physician to call back immediately.

I received a questionable letter in the mail with a Form 5102 that looks like it was photocopied on cheap paper, requesting me to pay $119 via check or money order to file a form on my behalf. However the form they provided has a Form 4022 listed in the bottom right hand corner. After being suspicious about the form I researched it and found out multiple people have been scammed by this company/form.

I received a call from "PP&L" yesterday about overpaying my electric bill, and the person hung up when I said they should have a copy of my electric bill. I received another call tonight the same thing and when I asked id he was going to hang up on me like the person yesterday, he told me no and hung up anyway when I said he would have a copy of my bill. IMMEDIATELY after he hung up I got another call and when I said someone UST hung up on me so take me off you call list, she told me I HAD to send her a check for $500 to be taken off their list- the name she gave me was Emma Johnson from PP&L, and the address I am supposed to send this check to is 755 Forty Foot Rd Hatfield PA 19440. I said I didn't know that PP&L had an office on Forty Foot Rd and she said that was MY mistake. Now I just happen to know that address is NOT PP&L because it is my friend's address, and during the Christmas season they sell Christmas trees from their property. The number that call came from was 267-708-0307 and the name that came up was B Wohlfort. I did tell her not to hold her breath for my check. I also let my friend know someone was using her address to receive the check, so they can protect THEIR mail.

I fell for the USPS invalid zip code trick and had to lock my account. I’m not sure if any damage was done, but I’m reporting to you regardless.

This message is for ******* ***** (not my first name). My name is James Black. I'm a compliance officer. I'm contacting you in reference to being filed. Now I do have to make you aware of the claim number which is 281823. When it is completed it will be a matter of public record. There will be an order of location for you requiring a signature on your behalf. Now since i was unable to reach you by phone I have been instructed to contact your employer and speak directly with your supervisor. Because it is looking like your likely place of location. Now you have every legal right to contact the processing office that is processing your claim. However, you would need to speak to them before the claim is filed. Once your claim has been discharged from their office your legal rights will be forfeited. The number provided for their office is 833-250-9524. Now you are being notified by phone as a last ditch effort to contact you before processing your paperwork.

Received a text message that read, " Alert, We've made attempts to get in contact with you in regard to your outstanding balance. We need to speak with you today or your account can be frozen for payment. Unfortunately, we do not respond via text, but you can call us at 650 250 4899. Call to remove number".

This is madness, I had two different numbers in one day within hours of each other, the other number is 833 883 2793. it is annoying, something needs to be done to stop these folks from obtaining personal information.

This person, allegedly named Joel Garfinkel, constantly mails postcards soliciting to buy your house in any condition. I have no interest in this, but went to look up his website to tell him to stop mailing me postcards. I found out that no such website exists, nor could I look up a Joel Garfinkel. The business address he gives is a multi-family dwelling. I am concerned this person could be a scammer, and I don't want others to get scammed by them.
