The caller said they were on a recorded line and asked if I could hear her, prompting me to say "yes" so they can use the recording to authorize false credit card or utility payments.

- Madison, WI, USA

I did not pick up this call, or call back. It was a message left on my voice mail threatening legal action for 4 federal offences I was alleged to have against me.

I received a text message telling me I had a reimbursement and to click the link. It said:



Sms-Carrier

We have made a mistake on the next billing

- Euclid, OH, USA

I received a FEDEX delivery containing a check for $2750. The only instructions were from [email protected] who asked I deposit the money immediately and then text a picture of the deposit slip to 862-307-7608. Later I also received several text messages from Jadawn Kelly ([email protected] / 205-301-2338) stressing the need to follow the instructions. I did not comply.

They left a pre-recorded message on my phone this morning at 10:36 am. The call lasted 30 seconds.

I called the Edmonton Police service who said this was a scam and advised me to report it to you. I saved the message.

Robocall from my area code, about application that had been submitted (yes, applications have been submitted within last 30 days), was asked if I could hear okay, and my stupid self said yes. Call disconnected.

I applied for a secret shopper position online about a month or two ago. Afterwards, via Messenger, I received notice that I had been hired and would be receiving something in the mail. Recently an envelope arrived with a $2342 check from a Wichita, Kansas food service with instructions to deposit the money into my bank and to send a copy of the deposit slip to [email protected]. It directed me to shop at either Office Depot, Safeway, Kroger, Ahold or Vons. At two of those locations I was to purchase 2 reloadable gift cards of $500 each - i.e. $1000 at each location ($2000 total). I was then instructed to send a picture via e-mail of the digits on the back of each card. I was to keep $300 as commission. Another e-mail provided was [email protected]. The business name on the bottom of the letter said "Corporate Research International". I did not follow the instructions but, instead, called BBB.

whomever is using this number knows your name. First conversation goes like "is this miss xxxx?". When answered "yes" they hang up. The number is always occupied if you try to call back.

Caller called and I answered with Hello. They asked, "Can you hear me".? I said hello? They gave some description about some survey. I said "not interested". They said "Hello, Can you hear me"? I said, "yea, don't call me anymore" but before I could even finish it they hung up.

Getting calls multiple times day and night as part of a ‘one ring’ phone scam. The FCC said the point isn’t to get you to answer, it’s to get you to call back.

The charges come from connecting to a premium number overseas and show up on your phone bill. There is a connection fee of around $20 and a $9 per minute charge.

Here are some tips what to do if you get the call:

- If you get a call from a number you don’t recognize, don’t pick up.

- The FCC says before calling unfamiliar numbers make sure the area code isn’t international.

- If you don’t make international calls, you can ask your wireless provider to block outgoing international calls.

I got involved chatting online with a woman who claimed to be from Wyoming. She said she was an only child & her late father had a gold inheritance in Nigeria. She needed a next of kin to help her get the money. She talked me into helping her as she seemed kind & honest. She claimed to be a Christian in belief. She got me in contact with a supposed lawyer who needed money in the form of wiring money. After 2 months & a lot of money later to try to switch the address of shipping the gold, I figured it out. The lawyer then kept emailing me then calling and texting me. Lawyer claimed the FBI was contacted then I got an email from a fake FBI agent account from a Gmail address. The fake agent threatened me & my family. I am still missing the money.

"Supposedly" the *** *** claiming to have placed malware on my computer some time ago has my password and wants me to send them $800.00 or they will "send this video to all your contacts (email, social network)! & publish absolutely everything I found on your computer!"

Calls under the name of Julie Williams ( fake name) Said if I don't call and pay immediately she will call my place of employment ..bla bla. Used a fake case number of 255449.

- Pearl City, HI, USA

We receive a phone call and the person said her first name. She the ask twice if I could hear her which I replied “yes”. She then asked if we received a notice on the change in utility policy. I answered “no”. She then abruptly hung up.

This is very suspicious. When I tried to call back on that number repeatedly, all I received was a busy signal. The caller I’d phone number again was 808 666 9222.

My 94 year old mother received a call saying she needed to pay $200 or her prescriptions will be cancelled. She did not pay and instead spoke with me, her adult son. She does not get prescriptions from any source other than her local Walgreens.
