I received a letter in the mail stating my name and mailing address. They also described the vehicle I own. The letter says it's the Final Notice and I have to call them before 8/22/2023 otherwise they will revoke my eligibility for service coverage within 5 days. The language was very threatening and states "Private and Confidential". Can someone please find this scammer? I was reluctant to call and call my dealership to find out why I was receiving this evasive letter to my address. Luckily I didn't call. Thank you.

I enrolled on the website to find a room mate. I paid for my identity to be verified and a criminal background check. I also paid for "Spotlight" for 1 or 2 weeks. In total I spent about $70. I dont remember the figure exactly. Ill have to check.

About 7 people contacted me. After the 3rd person,something seemed off.

One person called me from a number. I gave them my address to view the property. When she didnt turn up I called the number I spoke to her on 3 hours prior. The message said the number had been permenently disconnected. This was the first tangible evidence I had that I was being scammed for my data location and information. Also, probably to drive engagement to the site. ROOMIES.COM IS A SCAM. STAY AWAY!

Through informed delivery, I saw an instantly suspicious mail piece, using one of scammers favorite styles, the prefabricated official document that is a mailing piece itself and needs to be opened by perforations. On the outside of the address area was big lettering "Happy Birthday" and my name/address, so this already is a beware that scammers, who can datamine one's birthdate/address, are using this particular scam with a birthday angle, presumably to take advantage of one's birthday where they may let their guard down and be more convinced to follow what is inside. I haven't gotten the piece yet, but it is photographed in my Daily Delivery notice by the post office. Now, I worked as a mail carrier years before, so I instantly recognized the hallmark on the outer mail piece of a scam: the mailing permit, although the return address was one of Washington DC, presumably to make it seem official government address, with Accounting Division, as if one is going to get some kind of Government financial break for having a birthday (a confidence scheme), was in another state entirely, Florida. I can tell you that no government office in Washington is going to use a mail permit issued from Florida - that alone identifies this piece as fraudulent. And I am reporting that here so that users be on the lookout for such a mail piece with return address of Accounting Division, 2020 Pennsylvania Ave. NW #421 Washington, DC 20006, that has Happy Birthday on it coming to them days before their real birthday, having a telltale permit of PRSRT STD, U.S. Postage Paid, DAYTONA BEACH, FLORIDA Permit No 375. First of all, any official gov or city notice will be mailed first class, not presorted standard which is a bulk mail less than first class piece, and next, any official document from government or city will have a permit to that government or city's return address location, not one in ANOTHER state, third of all I have seen some scammers so brazen in their confidence the average public does not know this about permits, that they will use the SAME permit # for various scams which identifies who they are. This has always amazed me that the post office does not simply shut down the permit holder, so what is going on I do not know. But I can say even though the mail piece is just a photograph in my account on the way to be delivered to me today, I have enough to post a scam alert. Please do not lose your judgment because this scammer has correctly told you Happy Birthday, and has on the outside an official looking notification number and pin number. The positive mark of a scam is the tell tale permit number shown, which has to be a genuine permit number for these pieces to have been mailed, which is what stumps me as the Daytona Beach, Florida post office that has issued this permit needs to turn over the registered user to the Post Master investigation, for impersonating, presenting themselves as government of some kind, with whatever scam is inside, which I see by another poster here in bbb is some kind of vacation scam. I am including here a pdf of the image usps informed delivery emailed me, with my personal name/address I reacted out for privacy purposes.

Contacted company for tutor services, paid fee via cash app, did not receive service, asked for IP address and more money because they said they logged into my friends account and were alerted of an IP conflict issue. They needed their IP address and $891 to fix. Scammers were located in Pakistan according to log in logs.

Received a very unprofessional and casual voicemail from a Michigan cell phone number telling me to call the number I listed here (844 area code) to receive information about a missed delivery. When I asked who they were they said American Courier Services which I cannot find info on. I asked what this was about and the man said he would transfer me to someone else to get confirm my personal information because the issue was related to sensitive information. Immediately the woman asked me to confirm my identity including my social security number while refusing to tell me what they were trying to deliver to me and who it was from. I’ve uploaded a screenshot of the phone number from which their voicemail came. It is the top number listed.

On 7-31-23, at 5:56 pm, an unidentified elderly lady called my unlisted cell phone advising that she wanted to know whether I wanted to buy OKC Phil tickets. I declined the offer. She then said that a relative named Dava was a former musician for the OKC Phil. I said, "O.K., Bye". I then quickly hung up the phone. The caller called from the phone # 405-276-3503 which is a Southwest Oklahoma City phone number area code and prefix. I checked the phone number on a phone # lookup website to find that it was reported for 5 unsolicited robocalls. The said caller sounded like a former OKC Phil ticket office worker named "Marge". She previously worked at the Ridgeway Medical Clinic in Northwest Oklahoma City with a relative named "Dava". I also occasionally worked at the ******** ******* ****** wherein I was acquainted with the staff. Further, I reported the unsolicited phone call to the OKC Phil via their online contact website. I checked the OKC Phil website wherein their ticket office closes at 5:00 PM. The unsolicited caller contacted me after the said organization's business hours. It was a suspicious call because the lady caller did not identify herself but, acted like she knew me. On 8-3-23, the OKC Phil Rep. Steven called me and left a voice mail message stating that the phone number 405-276-3503 & the unidentified caller were not with their organization and, thus, to ignore the phone call.

Law enforcement said he had information for me and called me by name and said to call back. I was apprehensive but I did and he seemed shady when he said I needed to pay a summons. I have no summons due. He knew and stated my address

Received a call where they asked if I was the caller. I said yes and they hung up. Saw a news report that this is a trick to get you to say yes and use it.

Kept asking 4 Mr & I'd say no this is Mrs. Then ask if he rcvd his card 2 which I replied what. Then kept saying Can u hear me & because caller had a thick accent I said yes but can't understand you. He sounded annoyed & said hold on which I did 4 about 40 seconds & hung up. Only reason I answered was because I know what Oncology means thinking they'd dialed a wrong # trying 2 reach a patient.

I saw an ad on facebook marketplace for a free baby grand piano. After messaging the seller, she said she was giving it away after her husband died. She said the piano was being moved but I could pay to have it re-routed to me. "Dr. Sandra" sent me the swiftmover.co website with a moving ID. I tried chatting with an agent on the site who sent pictures of the piano and asked my address. Luckily, at this point I had only provided my email and phone number. I started to notice the site had a few red flags (typos, address right next to the White House, no real reviews on google, phone numbers not working). I did some further investigating and found a complaint on here that shared the same exact tactics/email verbiage. I will be blocking the email and the seller profile on facebook.

Someone called me from an unknown number and left a voicemail, claiming to be officer Steven Price of the Chester County (PA) sheriff's department. When I called back at the number they left, 610-801-7108, they claimed that I had a subpoena issued June 24 that I signed and that I didn't appear in court July 10 as agreed on the signed subpoena. He stated that he had two citations, a failure to appear and a contempt of court, and that I had fines of $3000 each. He stated that I could settle this using a "criminal option" by turning myself in and being held in jail until bail was set or a "civil option" in which they place a bond and hold my money until my name is cleared by a signature analysis. He stated I could pay this electronically using Venmo or CashApp and that the Venmo account was @NCIC911_. When I stated that this seemed like a scam, and I was planning to hang up and call the sheriff's office directly, he stated that he could call from the office landline to reassure me that the call was actually coming from the sheriff's office, and then he proceeded to call me with a spoofed number that came up as 803-581-5131, which happens to be the sheriff office of Chester County South Carolina! I asked Venmo to please shut down this fraudulent account because this guy is obviously just trying to scam people into deposits. I didn't fall for this scam and lost no money, but it was pretty easy to believe much of what he said because it was plausible and I am sure someone has been or will be scammed this way.

Someone named Jordan just called and texted me asking about the loan application that I had put in. I did not ever put in a loan for this company or any other company. He then proceeded to deny me to look at said loan since I believe it is fraud , and asked how much working capital I had. I told him my concerns and he did not seem to want to help me see if this was fraud, so now I believe it is him. I do not know how he has gotten my info to contact me.

In January, 2020, something that called itself Transunion (TU*Transunion on my credit card bill) offered me via email credit monitoring for a monthly fee. I agreed and have been paying TU*Transunion $19.95/mo ever since. I recently had to contact what I believe is the real Transunion and found out that they have never received money from me and that I do not have a membership (and thus no access to membership services), but access only to free services that they offer. I now believe that when I signed up with TU*Transunion, they used my login data to actually sign me up with the "real" Transunion for its free services. TU*Transunion itself has never provided me with any service that I know of. I am currently attempting to have my credit card stop paying the monthly fee.
