There was a Walmart on Facebook that said a person could win money if they clicked on the ad. So I clicked on the ad and then there was a multiple choice board and I clicked on that and it said I won a $500 Walmart gift card. Then it took me to the next page to give my information because they said it was a $1.99 fee for shipping the gift card. I used my credit card instead of my debit card to be safe. About an hour later, I got a text message from my bank and they said they are expecting fraudulent activity because there was a $149.99 charge on my account. The bank said they would take the charge off but they denied the claim because the fraudulent business had too much of my personal information to do anything. They recommended I call the company and request a refund. I talked with Jamie and he told me the best they can do was give me $75.00. I said this is not ok what you are doing and that you are stealing money from people. I said you should give me my full money back. When I told him I was going to call the BBB, he said they would not give me anything back.

I received a call and the person said I was eligible for a program with Spectrum and Target. He said If I paid $440 for my first 8 months for service then I would only pay $57 for 3 years. He also said if I paid right away I would receive a Spectrum visa card for $130. I purchased 2 Target gift cards in the amount of $220 each and gave them the numbers from the cards. He said that everything went through. Then I received a call today that there was an issue with cards. I was told that Walmart, Target and Sam's Club were holding their cards and I would need two additional cards from a different Target for the same amounts. I said I couldn't do it without getting my first $440 back. He said I had to purchase new  gift cards for the same amount first, and also said they would issue another $130 gift card for my inconvenience. He said I had to do it now. Then he became rude because he said I raised my voice. He also threatened to suspend my service for Spectrum. When he said this was the only way I could resolve the issue I became suspicious. I received a text message that were canceling my Spectrum account immediately and I would receive a bill for $500 auto pay for not correcting the issue. I've never signed up for autopay with Spectrum. I called Spectrum and they verified that it was a scam. I called the person back and told them I contacted the ScamPulse.com and they said I was dumb for missing out on all this money.

I was shopping online at Walmart.com. I clicked on a pop up ad for a free tablet. I took a survey using my Varo card and paid for s&h, $7.95. Then beautifulknitsewing came up and said I ordered $7.95. I contacted beautifulknits and they said they would retract it, but also tried to get me to agree to something else. I contacted Varo card and they told me to lock it, but they still got in 3 weeks later - when I found another debit on my Varo card from Earthbreeze for $12.90.

They gave me a call, almost everyday, and tell me I won money and a new car. They asked me to send them money before I get the winnings. They tell me to withdraw from my bank and mail it to a PO Box number. I did this once and lost $30,000. I called Consumer Affairs in Washington, DC and reported it to the local police.

Mavis L. Wanczyk sent me a message on Facebook Messenger that I won a prize on Multi-State Lottery Association. This person asked for my phone number so the agent can call me for details. I did not give my number out. This is a scam. This person just tried to call me on audio while I am writing this. Desperate scammers.

I received a call from a man, Mr. Patrick Allen, of Publishers Clearinghouse. He said I had won a big prize by cashier's check. He asked me to call him back in 20 minutes. He said it was his job to get in touch to find out why I had not claimed my prize. He said he would have to cancel the prize if I didn't follow the rules. He didn't have an accent.

I was first contacted through whom I thought was a friend on Facebook. His name was Elmer Herbert. He was a friend of an old violin student of mine. He told me that he had won a large sum of money through Worker's Compensation Appeals Board. He told me that my name was on the list also. I wanted to believe it was true, but my gut was telling me something different. Elmer Herbert told me to contact a woman named Sharon Silva at her email, which was [email protected]. She told me to give her my full name and I did just that. She stated, "you are one of the chosen winners to get a winning package." I told her that this seemed strange and I did not know how I would be getting money from worker's compensation. She stated to let her know as soon I received this message and if I was ready to claim my winnings now to the Workers Compensation Appeals Board. I was told I had to then fill out the following information: My full name, my full address, my email, my sex, my age, my marital status, my mobile number, my occupation, if I have received a grant before, do I want cash or a check, do I own a house or rent. She stated that she promised the information would be 100% safe with them. She stated to kindly fill this information out and send it back to her. I told her I did not feel comfortable doing this. I told her as much as I could use the money, that I was going to pass. She stated we need all this information so that when we bring the money to you we will ask you for that information as a secret question to make sure you are the real person we have been talking to. We will give you the cash and you sign a paper that you have received the payment from the Workers Compensation Appeal Board. Then I said, "I just looked this up. You are a scammer." Then she got a bit mad and said, "LISTEN VERY WELL. This is a Federal Government Project and how do you expect a Federal Govt Project to be a scam? WE want you to know that this money is TAX FREE and you never have to pay it back. Then she said, WE ARE WAITING FOR THE FORM HERE NOW!!! Workers Compensation Appeals Board." I blocked the man that contacted me and she then deleted the emails, but I had downloaded them so that I could report this so no one gets scammed by these people.
