Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order

I received a text message from a man saying his name is Alexander Gate and he is a chef and is opening a restaurant in Ontario and needs a website designed. I sent him a quote via email and he responded that he would like to pay via credit card, I requested a deposit and he agreed and then said he would like to pay me $4100 by credit card, $1500 for a deposit and the rest to be forwarded on to his content writer as he is not able to process credit card payments. I am sure this is a scam, but I do not want to turn away legitimate business if it is not, is there any safe way to proceed and still protect myself?

Type of a scam Phishing

Automated message from this number to our home phone stating to avoid prosecution please call them as soon as possible and then their phone number, then repeated their phone number and urged us to respond.

We're on all the Do Not Call lists, plus it's odd that this is on the other side of the USA from where we live. Message did urge you to call, but am not sure if they were after money or not. Tired of these scammers! Although we were targeted, we did not pursue it any further.

A man with an obvious accent left a message which says: "This requires your serious attention, ignoring this message will an intentional second attempt to avoid an appearance before the magistrate judge of the grand jury for a federal criminal offense". "I advise you to cooperate with us". They left a number to cal back: 559-236-3191. This is a California number and they called a KY number at about 9:30 am eastern time.

Most likely this is an attempt to take money from us. We did not nor will not send anything or give any information to this person or organization.

Type of a scam Debt Collections

This number continues to call and leave messages that I am in trouble with the federal government for a debt owed. The phone number does not come up in any searches and when I call I get a voice mail of a Corey Hendricks or a Jay. They do not identify the name of the business and they have located family members of mine that I have had no contact with in 20+ years. The phone number I am given to call back (***) is actually a fax number for a software company per a search I did on your website.

Type of a scam Home Improvement

My sister-in-law is an elderly woman in Toledo, and last week had some people knock on her door saying they "were in the neighborhood and saw squirrels going in and out of your attic." She, being gullible, invited them in to talk about it. One went up on the roof and allegedly applied two tubes of caulk, and then they related that she could have "severe house damage" unless they put up $2000 worth of four "Squirrel Repellent" devices. (We heard about it after the fact, and I am third in line to hear this but this is the gist.) They convinced her to go to the bank and get the money. Fortunately while she was there, she got talking and quick thinking bank people called the cops and talked her out of it. Cops told her to drive to her neighborhood, part a few blocks away, and look for the car they drove in. They found HER, tapped on her window, she kept doors locked, and got their plate # but not the state it was from. We have warned her AGAIN not to buy anything that people want to sell you at your door, but you know how hard it is with some people. Anyway, that's the deal.

They constantly call talking about a government grant. I tell them to quit calling, block the number, they call back with a different number-blocking the number does not help. Theses people have foreign accents.

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

this is a number given for FMLA for BJC healthcare in MO. This number had changed to a different one. The number 855-314-4450 is some scam for what they said were gift card centers for Wal Mart. The person who called this number trying to get hold of FMLA as she just had surgery was my mother. The phone call took place on today's date. The man who she talked to said she was a lucky winner and he needed her credit card information before she could speak to the FMLA people. She told him she didn't have her credit card information with her but that her daughter had her wallet since she was in the hospital. The man then told her to call her daughter (me) to get that information or she couldn't talk with anyone concerning her FMLA. My mother then hung up the phone. She got the updated and correct number for FMLA from BJC and was on the phone with them and the 855-314-4450 number tried to call her back twice and she did not answer.

I then called this number and asked what organization they were and why they needed my mother's credit card information. The man who answered then promptly hung up. I called back and spoke with a woman. I asked what organization they were and she said, "we sell and redeem wal mart gift cards". I asked again why they tried to get credit card information from my mother earlier and why the gentleman eluded to an affiliation with the FMLA people. She did not have an answer for that and there was a foreign language being spoken in the background and the tone was loud and excited. I then let the woman know I would be reporting the number to the BBB. She stated, "fine, this call is being recorded to report you." I let her know that was absolutely fine." She then said, "no one can do anything to us anyway" and hung up the phone.

I just wanted this reported so they can't swindle anyone out of money.

thank you

Receiving faxes from 888-376-4029. No name of the business is on the fax. Current one says Memorial Day Super Sale! It lists sales for trips to different locations. Discounts for Seniors, Educators, Medical & Military Personnel. At the bottom lists a number to call to be taken off the list. Number is always busy. 877-469-6456. We are a hospital and do not want these faxes. No way to stop them.

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Starting in April of 2016 I began to get calls from someone with a foreign accent (Indian or Pakistani)inquiring about my prescription pain medicine. I would just hang up on them at first, but they are getting more persistent now. When I begin to ask them about who they are they usually get nervous and hang up, but the next day they will call again. The area code is in St. Louis County or Jefferson county as it is 314. I am 63 yrs. old and dealing with advanced prostate cancer and heart disease. This may or may not be anything you can deal with, but if you can I would be most appreciative. Shut down this phone bank?

Thank you

automatic message on a family members phone. Message stated they were looking for me due to a legal matter. The number left on the message 18446951380. When I called a man calling himself Rob Gardener said I stole money from a bank called *** *** for 300 dollars 6 years ago. I had the same thing happen a few months ago. They had my full social and an old address. Stupidly I gave him my current address and email. He said I owed 570. I told him I would pay if he mailed me some paperwork stating the date of the loan and what bank the funds were deposited. He told me he would send me an email right away and to call him monday at 9am eastern standard time. When I reviewed my notes from the earlier call and checked his number that's when I realized its was a scam. He never sent the emaiI. I did not give him my bank info. However i did give my address and email. They already have my social and date of birth. They also know I am on ssdi social security. This "Rob Gardener" is at 18446951380 ext 545. I think they just wanted to know my current address so they can get my social security or open a new credit card in my name.
