This scammer impersonated my boss and even said things that by boss says, He told me that he was in a meeting and needed me to get him some $200 Google Play gift cards for all 5 participants in the meeting and he would reimburse me as soon as he was out of the meeting. I asked if I should drive to the office and deliver them, but he said that wasn’t necessary because all he needed was the codes and to just take pictures and email it to him. So I didn’t think nothing of it and went to buy the cards and sent him the redemption codes, but then the scammer got greedy and blew his cover by telling me that he also needed to add a $200 eBay gift cards for all 5 of them as well. This was unlike my boss, as he would have been up front with me from the beginning about the eBay cards when he asked me for the Google Play gift cards. At this point it was time to call a coworker to find out if he knew anything about this meeting - on a Saturday. My boss is a workaholic and has been known to work 7 days a week straight. But of unfortunately there was no meeting. I called my boss and verified. One thing I forgot to do once it was time to send the codes, was to start a new email and select my boss’s email address from my contacts instead of just replying to the scammer, which if I had just clicked around on my boss’s name (since the email address is always replaced by their actual name) I would’ve noticed that it wasn’t his email address. It was [email protected] instead. All email apps should list the senders address like Microsoft Outlook does. But from now on when I’m using mobile apps like the default mail app on iPhone, I will just always have to click on the name of the person which will open up a hidden fly out carat > and if you click on that it will show the real email address. Very simple and quick, and just gives you the extra insurance that you are communicating with who you think you are. This won’t work if your boss’s email is being driven my someone else, but it could stop you from falling into their trap before you send them any money. In this case, it was just my boss’s address book that had been hacked and the scammer had all the emails for each employee and their full names and positions in the company. They will always impersonate the boss. At least I didn’t fall for the trap twice, I caught on to him before I sent anything else. So there went $1,000 down the drain. But it is a lesson to be learned, and I just hope that no one else will lets this happen to them. And if this article keeps even one person from getting scammed like this, I will be happy. Please just check your email addresses of who you’re communicating with before ever sending any money.

It was an automated phone call saying "my power would be cut off if I didn't pay my bill." The recording gave a number menu, then I hung up. When I tried to call the phone number, as the number showed on my caller ID, a recording said "private number." I checked my power bill online and I'm current with my payments.

This is the message that was left on my voicemail. I did not contact them

The poster only wanted contact via phone. They said they had multiple female puppies available but only sent pictures of one (with very specific markings). When asked about the other female in the original post, they said they'd received a deposit for her hours before. The price was very low and they wanted a $250 deposit via Zelle or Apple Pay only. When I asked for a "proof of life" type of picture the puppy and their FB page showing their name and the puppies, I was told that they didn't have FB and were at work (at 9:00p.m.) but they would send it later. I never received anything further. I did a Google lens search of the photo they sent and the exact puppy/picture appears on numerous, unrelated websites.

This phone number contacted me via text message providing my home address and the wrong contact information of the home owner, (in which has never inquired about selling the home) texting about a cash offer… I cannot call back as it says the number doesn’t exist. By text message I was able to respond, she said her name was Jen but will not identify what business she is employed with or affiliated with.

I received this obvious fraud email today:

My phone rang and Caller ID said AT&T SERVICES so I answered. But a recorded message came on saying "IF YOU HAVE BEEN HARMED OR INJURED DUE TO THE USE OF JOHNSON & JOHNSON'S BABY POWDER...." I hung up. I now wish I had stayed on the line to see how this was going to play out.

Mentioned a job site i may have gone to, asked if i was able to hear them.

I received a voicemail from above telephone number stating that I had bought an iPhone for $599 and will be charged through my Amazon account. If I didn’t do the transaction, please call the aforementioned telephone number.

I have been scammed before and this is how the scammer began and it developed into purchasing game cards and giving them their official number of each.

Someone called and said I defaulted on a advance payday loan back on 01/31/2015, for $683.55. They said the check provided is from ** Bank. The women I spoke to stated her name is Vanessa Tovar and her number is 1866 313 ***2. She stated that they will send a summons to my address if I don’t pay the amount.

I never had a ** bank account!

I even called TD bank and they stated they don’t have any records of me having a bank account there.

What should I do?

I would like to report this.
