- Waseca, MN, USA • Dec 14, 2023

Victim received a card in the mail noting "Urgent! Action Needed". He was told to call a number to receive a gift card for $700.00. He called the number and talked to a person who said his name was George Smith. Mr. Smith gave him a confirmation number and a Pin number; all the victim needed to do was give bank into and $2.95 to receive the GC, which he did. He was told he would receive the gift card on 12-8-23 via UPS. He did not receive the card and when he tried to call Mr. Smith again he wasn't there and any option he picked in the "phone-tree" ended with a hand up. The victim contacted his bank and took care of it.

Provide a description of the incident and how you were victimized. Provide information not captured elsewhere in this complaint form.

Driving home today my Mom told me that she was tired and I asked why? She said she had received an alert in her computer saying it had been compromised and she called the number (844-437-1957) and then somehow was told to call 1-425-243-8452. Someone named Donavan Brown told her that her bank account had been compromised (supposedly someone tried to buy a 15000 dollar photograph) and transferred her to someone named Richard at “Bank of America” who convinced her to withdraw 15000 dollars and send it to a bitcoin address, which she did. I have the bitcoin recipt - the primary number on it is q5w45qsi and the FTC report includes the bitcoin address the money was sent to and the Arlington County Police report number

They got my ex-fiancés social security number, and full name. They tried to get my son’s social as well. Also got my son’s full legal name. Also, even though I dialed *67 before calling their number last night to look into this place, they still could see my per-call blocked info….

Which tells me they have some phishing tech to that end.

- Gaithersburg, MD, USA • Dec 06, 2023

A number 240-493-8283 called after I filled out information on Facebook for health isurance. The called and immediately hung up. I called the number back thinking it was a friend or relative and I was placed in a automated system. I was transferred to a live representative where I asked to speak with a supervisor. "He" stated he was the supervisor and I explained I didnt not believe him as there was someone who just called from the number and hung up. I explained I didn't want to be contacted further and hung up. He then called back from a personal line (240)363-2255 and yelled at me stating why did I call, I stated to follow up on someone hanging up on me and he began pushing a different narrative that everything was my fault regarding the inital call. These people are scammer and are still everyone personal information that signs up. Please note thes phone numbers as he even tried to Facetime me! I have declined every call thereafter as well as blocked the 2 numbers listed.

Iditified themselves as a process server that was coming to serve papers to our house. They had our address. Then gave us a case number and another number to call with questions. Number they told us to call was 1-844-282-2957. The number was called to see what they were trying to scam us with and they answered as a Law firm in California. They tried getting personal information out of us.

Message was left on answering machine from a Melissa Stringer who stated I was on her list to be served, and that she was coming to my place of employment and I would need two forms of identification. My name was spoken by a computer generated app; and, a random number, 1546024, was also given. I am not sure what that number is as it is not a telephone number. No return call contact details were given, I cot the number from caller ID (321) 641-9326. The woman also stated that I have been warned and if I needed more information I should contact the filing party (no details given on who that is). This call did not come to my telephone number but my elderly mother's home number. This call makes the third one within a month by someone stating legal action is being taken against me. None provide any details. I also checked the court website to see if any cases have been filed. These calls are disturbing not only to me, but my elderly mother who is inclined to believe messages left on her machine. I struggle with making her understand there is a world and plethora of scammers on the lose.

- Wayne, PA, USA • Nov 26, 2023

The scammer approached me about turning my book into a movie. I made two payments totaling 800.00, and then, after researching, I found it was a scam.

- Haymarket, VA, USA • Nov 23, 2023

I was trying to reach Home Depot’s appliance service website with ALLstate and was directed to Home Assurance’s website instead due to a typo. Their website claimed an A+ rating with ScamPulse.com but they are not listed. A Google map search for their corporate address in Fort Worth shows a coffee shop. The TX Secretary of State’s business entity search also does not show a business registration for this company. It appears to be a scam preying on people like me who misspell the website for Home Depot’s warranty website.
