Online Purchase

It's a web site for generic Viagra. to order they ask for Name, Address, etc, Birth date, and other personal info and before they can give you your discount price, they want you to attach a photo, (giving them your identity and your Biometric info which can be the last form of personal ID info I suspect.) ( I don't remember if I gave them my social security number now) They say the generic viagra is up to 80% off Pharmacy prices. I'm not going to give them my Photo along with other personal info to find what they will do with it. Even if it is for medical reference, they could be hacked as well as at&t was.

Sweepstakes/Lottery/Prizes - BBB Impostor

Yesterday, I received a phone call from Publishers Clearing House phone call that I won 400,000.00 to be deposited into my bank. They would bring me a brand new pick up truck, $1200.00 cash and $7000.00 a week for life. They wanted to receive a gift card for $300.00 and then when I said I did not have it, it went down to $50.00. I did not send them any money.

Today, I received a call from 786-936-1156. The caller stated that they are with BBB and investigating the sweepstakes call I had received yesterday for the PCH winnings. He said he is with BBB and that the amount was not correct and that I won 1.2 million and everything else I would get. They wanted me to send them $600.00.

I gave them my online banking number and social security number. They said that they needed it for taxes. When I figured out it was a scam I let my bank know. I have dropped the online banking. And I changed my account.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Caller had an India-type accent and, while she claimed to be calling from my [quiet] doctor's office, it sounded like a telephone boiler room with lots of other voices in the background. Caller ID spoofed my doctor's office which is why I answered. Caller wanted to verify my full name - I have a particular combination on my Medicare account - so this confirmed suspicions. She then wanted to confirm my address and I told her I had not moved. She mentioned my city and I asked her where she was calling from - that she could not be calling locally - and she replied that she was in Georgia but that they "had connections all over the country." She kept trying to tell me that she had a prescription from my doctor related to chronic pain (similar calls before have said they had prescriptions for braces for back and joints and that there was no cost to me; that it would be fully covered by my insurance). I told her I knew this was a scam and that my doctor did not send her a prescription at which point she hung up. I had previously notified my medical office regarding a similar call and the office manager was quite surprised; she was unaware of any other incidents but that may simply indicate that other patients had not felt compelled to notify the medical provider. Since the scammers are masking the phone number and name (presumably from a Medicare physician directory, also detected during similar prior phone calls), I do not have the caller's phone number or other identifying information. Every call (this is about the 6th similar call) has assured me that the device or whatever would be at no cost to me, that it would be fully covered by my insurance. They also claimed to be calling directly from my physician's office but said that my doctor had "sent" them a prescription. I believe one caller acknowledged he was in Texas and today's caller said she was in Georgia. This directly contradicts their introductory statement that they were calling from my physician's office along with the local phone number mask. It appears to be a scam to rip off Medicare only. No one has ever tried to get any $ from me - only information regarding medicare account and physician identity. Because of the phone/contact spoofing, I need to answer the call in case it really is my physician's office. I have no advance way of knowing if this is a scammer until I answer and hear the accent and the noisy call room background.

Online Purchase

Stacees has a very professional website. However, if you purchase any garment and it doesnt fit you will NOT receive a refund. Despite the lie written on the website. I have a record of numerous chats and emails requesting information to get my refund. They just stopped responding once their scam went through. It's been horrifying!
