He emailed and texted me. Based on quick research this is a scam and they target everyone who applies to reality tv shows. I would think major networks like Netflix abc mtv would all care about this. Anyway most people seem to pay 80-600. I didn’t call back.

They claimed to be a Counseling Center.. initially I met with a case manager.. Then, a week or two later I met the counselor who's also the director.. I was approved to meet once a week paid for by Medicaid.. But, haven't met with a counselor since the intake.. They've been billing Medicaid (Sooner Care) but, no visits..except with the case manager..

I received an email with a link of an invoice attached from “Ravoltek LLC”. It looks like they are saying I owe them $382 and to pay through PayPal. Beware they are using PayPal email address to make it look legit. I’ve never heard of this company. I googled them and they don’t exist.

This scam has been going on for quite some time. The scammer pays for adspace on youtube.com and uses compromised channels to avoid being permanently banned. Scam claims if you go to the website swagscash.com, you will get $1000 when in reality, i believe this is a phishing scam to steal the money and identities of many innocent individuals.

Got a text from their phone number asking me to click on the site to join an app for a business I know for a fact does not have an app. The link took me to a landing page that was using that store's logo WITHOUT authorization.

When I contacted them to find out how they had gotten my cell number, why they were offering an app that didn't exist, and why they were using the business' logo without authorization, they were unable to provide any answers.

The scammer uses phished accounts to avoid being banned from the platform of Youtube.com. Said scammer uses the identity of a youtuber by the name of Mr Beast to legitemize their tactics and pays for adspace through hacked accounts. The ad gives you a sense of urgency with "this offer is only for a limited time" and then leaves a link in the description, which is cash1k.com

This type of scam has been going on for years now with no sign of any kind of measurements taken against it by Google or Youtube, which worries me since many vulnerable people can see these ads and be scammed out of their identities and money!

They got my personal number while pretending to be heavily interested in buying something from facebook marketplace and wanted to send me a 6 digit verification code to "verify my identity." When I refused and asked questions, they quit responding.

A gentleman came to my house and signed me up with a life insurance policy when money would be taken out of my account beginning Jan. 3, 2023. I have a gut feeling SOMETHING is not right.

Received a call from someone says they were an Arbitrator for the Bank of Marion and were going to sue me for money owed on a credit card.  I don't do any business with that Bank.

Fake sweepstakes claiming that consumer won $1 million but they would have to pay $250 in vanilla debit/gift cards and give them the account number. They are targeting senior citizens.

I was called and told A T & T was partnering with Target to lower my monthly cost for TV Cable service. I needed to pay by either Target credit card or Target gift card. I had to buy a gift card for $500 and pay 4 months in advance then would get a monthly bill in the amount of $125/ month for 2 years for all the services I currently pay $225 for. After buying the gift card and supplying the scammer with the information I was called an hour later telling me the gift card was denied. They wanted me to buy another one. That was when I realized it was a scam but it was too late.

This is the second time I received a scam from this “open doors USA scam” I hung up before he could ask about money this time. It’s becoming a nuisance. Charitable organizations don’t call asking you to personally donate.

The email explained that my annual service protection plan subscription with Geek Squad has been renewed and reactivated. The annual charge was $398.99. Gave a start and stop date ending Oct 5, 2023.

Offered if there were any transactional error in this receipt or you wish to cancel the subscription and get a full amount refunded back to call the toll free customer helpline. 1-877-821-1542

Lots of red flags.

First, I don't have a protection plan from Geek Squad. Second, I know that Geek Squad is part of Best Buy's programs. The email and contact is not what this email describes so they are phishing the Geek Squad program. The email came from a gmail account.

I have reported on scamtracker and deleted the email. In addition I have let Best Buy know.
