Respected Sir /Madam ,

I am writing to report a scam involving individuals who falsely claimed to represent Norton support. I found a webpage titled "How to Cancel Norton Subscription and Avoid Future ..." that displayed the phone number 888-203-2235. Believing it was legitimate, I called the number for assistance with my Norton subscription. The person on the call instructed me to purchase Amazon gift cards as payment for the supposed service and asked me to share the gift card codes. I later realized I had been deceived and that the website and phone number were being used fraudulently. Please investigate this scam and take appropriate action to protect other customers from similar fraud.

Sincerely,
charlotte King

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to report a scam involving individuals who falsely claimed to represent McAfee customer support. I found a webpage titled "What Happens After You Cancel McAfee", which appeared to be an official support resource. The page displayed the phone number 844-449-7827, so I called for assistance. The person I spoke with falsely claimed there was an issue with my McAfee account and instructed me to purchase Amazon gift cards as payment to resolve it. After I shared the gift card details, I realized I had been scammed. Please investigate this fraudulent phone number and webpage to help prevent others from becoming victims.

Sincerely,
Sophia Walker

Dear Sir/Madam,

I would like to report a scam involving a fake Facebook support service using the phone number 855-554-5883. I contacted this number after seeing misleading information connected with the phrase “Acting quickly is essential” and “What are you supposed to do.” The individuals falsely claimed to provide Facebook-related assistance and attempted to mislead me for financial gain.

The scammers behaved unprofessionally and tried to create urgency to pressure victims into sharing personal and payment information. I believe this activity may harm many innocent users looking for genuine Facebook support.

Please investigate this number and take appropriate action to prevent further fraud and misuse.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,
Alex Jordan

I'm writing to inform you about a case of fraud where an individual is posing as the customer service of EarthLink. I discovered a phone number, 888-449-7099, from the Internet to seek help and got in touch with them, thinking they were genuine. The agent tried to help me with my problem but actually tried to extract personal and monetary information from me. They also mentioned services such as "Best Sober Living Homes near Los Angeles" to establish their credibility. I felt doubtful and terminated the conversation without disclosing any of my information.

Thanks for considering my complaint.

Sincerely ,
Amelia Clark

I received email again from someone stating my account for Norton was due ($300+). If I don’t reply within 24 hours, my PayPal account will be charged. Tried calling, no luck. No email address given. Do not have Norton Security—from different address & name.

Purchased new Vizio smart TV, when setting up, was directed to call a number to unlock tv for use. Person said must pay a one time activation fee or TV wouldn’t work. Person had foreign accent and not professional at all. Asked for credit card number to pay fee. I said I would need to check further. I called Vizio directly and was told this was a scam. Vizio helped me finish setup without any fee.

I called 1-855-795-7338 to talk with Spectrum to report my landline and tv were both off. On the tv it said my internet service is offline. I never got any type of notification at all about this. As I was talking with a rep, he went into a conversation of paying $99 for a one time deal and I wouldn't be charged in the future. Then she asked what credit card will I be using today. She said this 3 times and she was pressuring me to give her $99.00 for this service. This threw me off but I never gave her my credit card number. I immediately told her to have a nice day and hung up. I know this was a scam. I reported it to the BBB.

I got an email from GeekSquad saying they would debit my account $389.99. I called and argued with a man, John Parker. I said that's not a real name. He was going to take the money from my account as I authorized the charge 3.20.25. He said if I would stop yelling he would get me a refund. I asked where I was getting a refund, he said from my bank account. I asked how he was getting my bank information. He asked me for the four lines across the bottom of my computer. I told him something. He said you're just wasting my time, and hung up. I'm on a fixed income, I can't deal with this kind of stuff, it's very upsetting.

OK, I was having problems with my Printer one Day (4-14-25) I was on a website for Medicare to print out a form to apply for Medicare part B. Maybe it was a fake website?? And my printer would not print off the Medicare Form. Now this part I don't know how this Guy popped up in my computer, and then he called me and said He was from Arvada Technolgies and he could fix the problem with my printer. Something about I had a lot of Viruses and spyware and this was blocking my connection to my printer. After supposidly cleaning up my computer and getting my printer to print again. He said, I could pay for a year $239., or 3 year protection for $349. , or a lifetime protection of $449.99. I gave him the numbers to my Debt card, and it would not work. (Because I found out later from my Bank, the transaction was out of the United States he sounded like someone from India. So I gave him the numbers to a credit card. The name of the company he said was Arvada Technolgies Inc. and they have ScamPulse.com approval He said. Phone # 816-685-0017 My customer ID is ARV004800. And I was now getting Mcfee Software to protect my computer to block viruses and spyware. Maybe this is a scam or maybe not. I fear it is and I just paid $449.99 for What?? I called the Credit Card company and they could not put a stop on the payment, but they are issuing me a new card and destroying the old card, and I can disput the transaction of the 449.99 a couple of days or something like that. I don't know why they couldn't stop the payment. Anyway, I don't know if I was scammed, I feel I was. I think I somehow got onto a website that was not Medicare, and that's how they got me.

I Googled a number for HP customer support. I spoke to a man with an indian/asian accent. He asked fro permission for remote control of my computer. I gave it to him. He said he saw several things wrong, and it would take a couple of hours and $199.99 to repair. While he was working on the computer, I called ScamPulse.com for a profile on the company, and was told they were out of business. So I hung up and called my bank. Then I contacted Norton Lifelock, who made reparis for me. I am careful since losing $150,000 three years ago. I got a call from "Ameritrade" saying fraudulent activity on my account. he said he was with Secruity and belived an emaployee was embezzling. he told me to sell my stock, and go to my Huntington Bank account and transfer money into a bank in Thailand. I kept calling the name of the guy with TD Ameritrade office just to verify. He told me not to tell anybody. I called FBI, and took them my computer. There was nothing which could be done. TD America tried contacting the bank in Thailand, who said the money had been withdrawn and converted to bitcoin. I learned later the scammer had purchased an app to spoof Ameritrade's phone number.

They contacted me from 747-217-0630 and said in 2023 that I had a problem with my AOL account. I do remember the password I used but it was always being used. I called this number and explained what happened to me and gave them some of my personal information. They said they installed the firewall on my computer. It is $4300 for 3 years of service. I did not send them any money. I told that they were taking advantage of the elderly. They said to call them back but I have no intention of calling them back.

I had been in the hospital on 3.2.25. On 3.3.25, I had an issue with my computer. I Googled the number for Geek Squad, Best Buy. I called to try to get an appointment. the person that I got fixed my computer over teh phone. Then he said this has been a very serisous international banking virus. your protection from Best Buy did not protect you. I want you to talk to Michael Dobbs, a CFO for Geek Squad. He gave me his phone number and badge number. My caller ID said "John Martin". He told me not to disconnect the computers. He said he was a personal friend of Robert Stevens the CEO at Best Buy. He said he would give me a refund for what I paid for the service that didn't work, and would make sure I got a protective program at their cost so the virus would never come back. I talked to him. He got me on to my banking site to put money in my online banking account. As I did that, he had me complete a form to get back $149.99 to be deposited into my bank account. He said we ought to do this in two parts, one for a hundred and the other for the remainder. He had remote control of my computer, and put the form on my computer, and I filled in the blanks. When I was to fill in the amount to be transferred, I typed in 100.00, and it disappeared. Then I saw it was a hundred thousand dollars. He said things like oh my. He told me to wire transfer the overage to his account. He said he was calling from Richfield, MN, but his phone number had a MI area code. we went back and forth over a considerable period of time. I told him I would not do it until speaking to my banker. He told me not to involve the banker. My bank told me there was never a hundred thousand dollar transfer. I eventually reached Best Buy fraud dept who helped me, and my bank account numbers have been changed.

Scammer sold a hacked computer to my elderly parents. When the computer had issues and they called the number given to them from her, the scammer demanded 50,000.00. The scammer told them she had all of their information, their address and their bank info, and the police would be dispatched to their house if they didnt transfer the money. My mother asked for what they were requesting to be sent to them in writing, and the scammer told them the police had been notified and were on their way. This person has caused so much emotional stress and upset to my parents who have numerous health issues and dementia - they dont understand about scams -

I received a call from “Apple support.” I had been in an Apple Store a few weeks before so I answered it. The man started telling me of the fraud in the area, at the stores, and that several in my bank had been scammed. He exaggerated details but had me fear that the unknown people would steal my identity, get my house etc and that I needed to do some things so they could get closer to the scammers. So I was told to wire money using western union, buy an Apple Card and some door dash. These purchases supposedly would alert the scammers and they could be caught. These charges totaling $1500 are what I am disputing as I was seriously frightened for many things. Other disputed have also been reported and I filed a police report.

I searched for "talk to a human facebook" and the first result was an 800 phone number. I called. Guy with anIndian accent answered after one ring. Shoulda suspected a scam. But no, I was stupid. I had called about FB restricting my use of my accont in many ways. He first said that somebody had hijacked info from an ad I had run & was messing with my account that way. Then he said the hijacker had left some virus on my computer & somehow convinced me to let him remote into my computer. Fortunately, the program he had me download for that wouldn't run. Then he asked me for my bank's name (and a couple of sentences before had said something about social security number but hadn't asked for it). I refused to give him my bank name & said it was something a hacker would ask for. He denied of course. I asked to speak to his supervisor. His supervisor's voice sounded suspiciously like his. "They" (he) insisted that I trust his protestations that he wasn't a hacker. After all, he worked for FB. I ended up hanging up and deleted everything I could find related to the software he had told me to download. So far, I haven't seen any interference in my affairs. Whew! (I blame FB for not having a human available for FB problems.)
