They have numerous posts on Craigslist, it is for housing. When you ask them anything about any property they say they need to send a verification code, but you get a test message from Google saying it is a verification code for accessing your account. They are trying to steal people Google accounts as best I can reason.

Type of a scam Tech Support

I chatted with Citibank to get help with my account. I was given a technical support number (866-446-5331), but I mistakenly dialed it in as 800-446-5331. The person picked up, stated that before they get me to a technician, they would like to let me know that I won a $100 gift card and asked if I wanted it. I said yes, he said there would be a charge of $2 on my account for shipping the card from California. He then asked me for my credit card number, street address, phone number, and email address. After giving the information to him, he said he is going to connect me to his manager, who will then give me the confirmation number after verifying my information. The next man sounded strange, he had a deep unclear voice and there was a bunch of static in the background, I couldn't make out his words. I gave him my information again to verify, and he promised that he would give me the confirmation number after that, but he didn't. He went on with a series of questions that I couldn't make out and all I would hear at the end is do you want me to give you your confirmation now? And I would say yes, then an automated machine would go on stating stating I am winning another $30 dollars by signing up for Great American Rewards, which I never signed up for or agreed to. And then he had me sign up for MyDataPatrol, which I didn't sign up for.... he kept asking me questions and attempting to trick me after the second time I fell for the trick.... He said I would only be charged $2 for the shipping and not for anything else. He said if I see a charge on my statement for me to ignore it, and I waited and waited on the line to be transferred to technical support for 20 minutes, until I felt suspicious that it was a scam. So I called up Citibank's fraud number and asked them about if they would ever give out free gift cards or anything like that, and I said that I called the number the representative gave me in the chat. Which I then repeated back to her and realized I dialed the wrong number. However, these people pretended they were Citibank tech support..

Type of a scam Phishing

I normally don’t answer numbers I don’t know. I am expecting a call from my sons orthodontist, I am currently furloughed at work, and I am on jury duty for the next four months. I was not sure if this number was from one of those places. This is why I answered it. The gentleman asked hello Carrie? I replied yes. He said this is Brian and then hung up or the call was lost. I called back and received a voicemail stating that all Representatives are busy and someone would return my call as soon as possible. I did not leave a message I just wanted to see if it was an actual number that would work again or say where it was from. I decided to send in the statement to the ScamPulse.com so you would have a record of it. I will be watching my account closely the next few weeks to see if there any unauthorized charges.

Type of a scam Online Purchase
Initial means of contact Not applicable

I ordered a Stethoscope through a website called Conscientiaresearch.com. I thought I was getting a good deal, so I used PayPal to purchase this item. Approximately I get a package in the mail, which turns out to be a pair of RayBan sunglasses that I am unable to use because I wear corrective lenses. A dispute with PayPal has the merchant willing to provide a partial refund. An attempt to contact the merchant using a provided Gmail account has produced no results. Searching the internet for the email address brought me to a website called printbarde.com in which several people have had a similar experience with this particular seller.
