I was offered a position starting at $35 per hour and a decent benefits package, my assumption is they used my linked-in account to find my contact. I was initially emailed and sent a questionnaire regarding my work experience. I was then moved to the second phase of the interview process without any direct contact from a live person. Afterwards, I was then sent a link for a Microsoft Teams interview, here is the link (https://teams.live.com/l/invite/***********************) and again did not speak with a person, just a text chat where I was asked generic questions and then asked for a start date. I signed the employment letter that stated the position as HR and not Payroll Clerk – red flag number one. I continued with the training until November 21, 2025. I did give them my personal information, W4, bank deposit information on a form, and life insurance form, still all the while reading the website of the company and thinking it is legitimate. Then I received a cashier’s check along with the letter explaining the provisional check for the procurement of your work materials – flag number two. I was told via chat not to cash the check – red flag number three, and it had to stay in my account for 24 hours. This person was adamant in asking me when I was going to deposit the check. -red flag number four. I went to my bank to inquire about this cashier’s check that looks legitimate to me, and it was flagged fraudulently by my bank - red flag number five. I immediately returned to the Microsoft Teams link and sent a long note with a back and forth being told I was not to cash the cashier’s check. I should have used the ATM. I also sent the HR department or what I thought was the HR department an email stating that I was not happy with the situation and I am not interested in the position no longer. The next morning, I received a Microsoft Teams chat stating that the person received noticed I sent the chat to the HR department and it was my fault (the applicant) that I did not get the job because I did not do as they asked with the cashier’s check. The audacity of the person. My hope is that no one else will go through this as far as I have. This is not right at all.

They call me 5 times a day and I'm losing my mind.

Person acted like he owned the home but after it was to late I ended up researching the home and calling the rental property

They sell e gift cards online from their website. I purchased one for $50 for my son's birthday. I took him there to use it. They didn’t even look at the e gift card, just said they don't accept them. I tried contacting them and didn't get anywhere. Tried using their online form but it wouldn't submit, saying my phone number was invalid. I tried inputting it every which way but nothing worked. Kept receiving a message but don't know what it said because in Chinese or other Asian language. I haven't been able to use card or get refund.

Hi there Name Here, Are you the owner of Insert home Address? My team at Ivegotahammer REI was wondering of the property might be available. -Lucky

This was an advent calendar advertised.

Website is a scam. Bought clothes months ago I never recieved. No way to contact or dispute to get money back.

I was contacted by a company claiming I owed money related to an American Express account. They said I owed $6,000, and they sent threatening letters and messages saying I must pay. The company also contacted me by phone, text, and email. I later discovered this was a scam. They had some of my personal information, which made the situation seem legitimate at first. I had already closed and deleted the related credit card account, so there should not have been any charges. The scam company continued demanding money and pressuring me. I have reason to believe they may be attempting to use my personal information for fraudulent activity or identity theft. I have already frozen my credit and contacted American Express to verify that my account is closed and no charges exist. What they asked for: • They demanded $6,000 immediately • They asked for personal details and pressured me to speak with them over the phone • They tried to make me believe I signed a “legal contract” What I did: • I cut off communication • I froze my credit reports • I contacted the real American Express • I am reporting this to protect other people • I may also consult a lawyer Amount lost: $0 (I did not pay them anything) How they contacted me: phone, email, text Date of scam: [insert date] Your location: Mississippi Extra details: They pretended to be a legitimate company and used aggressive language, fake contracts, and pressure tactics to scare me into paying. I want other people to be aware of this scam.

The scammer was posted up outside of Smith's grocery store and was impersonating Doctors Without Borders. He took my name, address, phone number and email information. After entering my credit card info he called a fake customer service line to "verify" his credentials via a fake badge number. The person on the phone said I must be at least 28 to donate.

Follow the link in an ad on our Facebook ad. Agreed to purchase one bra from the website. During checkout procedures, several pop-ups kept getting in the way of the accept purchase button. These pop-ups were advertising for our add-ons and I had to press the decline offer but in several times. Despite pressing the buttons several times the website glitched and registered these as adding on the other offer to my order. When I received the confirmation email the next day I saw that they had charged me for over $100 that I did not approve for a product that I did not want. I attempted to contact the customer service to have my order canceled and fully refunded and they refused to do so. I have yet to receive the original product I ordered or my full refund for their mistake.

I placed an order on November 1, 2025, a few weeks went by, i contacted them, they said their shipment was back ordered and offered to get me a refund if i didnt want it. Another week went by, i contacted again, they sent the very same email out I received before. I responded and advised they sent me this same email before and in that email they said the order would be sent out a week prior, Thursday (that was the reason i contacted them a seond time) I never received a confirmation that my shipment was sent out. They only then they responded saying a refund was sent back and it would take 3-4 days. I didnt ask for a refund, only asked if i should request one. Kind of suspicious when i didn't receive any type of confirmation and someone contacted me only with a gmail acct. They didnt list any phone number on their website, so i put in mine to proceed with complaint. $120.00 this time of year. I'm LE and this kind of money goes far in my profession. Please help me figure this out. Thank you.

They try to lore you in with small payments but not the same amount you invested in. Then when you try to make a withdrawal they keep asking you to put in more money therefore stealing all you have without getting anything back

Ordered a product from this company and charged to my credit card then I returned for full credit with the instructions they gave me to the company in Aurora CO. With usps proof of delivery the credit card company Concora credit Indigo did not give me credit was told the company never received even though I have proof it was returned so I’m out $294.00 have made many attempts to resolve this with nothing done Help ******** ******

I went through indeed and applied to this company called Slybound Freights. They emailed me to interview with them . I talked to this hispanic lady and she made me take a photo of me holding my license . After that I was hired immediately and they started sending me packages. I would inspect them take pictures then relabel them and send them back out to legit postal sites like Ups , Usps, and fedex.

Final attempt call before sending my “claim” to our local County for processing. They are calling my family members trying to get to me now.

Romance scam, pretends to be Turkish actor Can Yaman

On my credit card statement there were 3 charges I didn’t make. 2 of them had a phone # by them so I called (8333528372). Found out it was a 3rd party call center (OPTIMAL SOLUTIONS) and I had supposedly entered a lottery ($10.95 to FINETOTEBAGC STEVENSON RAN CA on 10/25) which also “bought” me access to some website which I’ve never seen but then there was the next charge ($81.12 to FINETOTEBAGC STEVENSON RAN CA on 10/28) The next charge came ($69.67 to AUTHENTICLEATHERLUGGAGE WESTMINSTER CA on 11/15). I also got one other name from the person I was talking to and it was BLINKSHELF. I don’t sign up for online lotteries, I have no idea what website I supposedly subscribed to, and I haven’t received anything that I didn’t order and NOTHING from these companies. They have cancelled my “subscription” (Confirmation KC021) and promised to return half of these charges to my CC, but I’ll have to wait to see if that ever happens.

This was my first time dealing with this sham of a company. I paid for a flight, they charged my account yet never gave me my E-ticket nor boarding pass. My flight is due to leave tomorrow. It’s been a hassle trying to get in contact with them, I finally got ahold of Martin “the supervisor” to get a refund. After a heated argument he claimed to grant me a refund, then he just hung up, I’ve been calling them back to actually make sure the refund is received, but of course, no such luck. I’m still getting the one around. I disputed the charge with my bank, bought a new plane ticket with a reputable company. Do yourself a favor, do not use this company. Pay the extra money for convenience and peace of mind.

they call multiple times daily to offer loans. tried to press 9 to be placed on do not call list but no help

Payed for service that was not as described and poor quality, amount charged was many times what It originally showed, the service is a pretend scam that doesn't actually work.

Signed up for a job that pays in Bitcoin not USD, wants you to spend your own money to receive 10xs the commission, won't let you cash out they money you made for the day unless you tap off. I had 500 in my account got a merge order didn't have enough to cap off wanted 500 and I couldn't cash out my money unless I gave it to them.

I was called Alex from TSC stating that owed 20000 dollars on a medical bill that I didn’t acquire.

I was approached through my personal messaging and then “transferred” to another person who again messaged me and met me on WhatsApp to start the “training” too good to be true after I completed the training. They were going to have me deposit $20 but that was just going to be the beginning. I’m sure they would have been able to access all of my accounts at that point because the withdraw section asked for my home address and everything.

Saw work pants available for purchase across multiple social platforms. Decided to check out what was being offered. Made a purchase. Had the tracking information show it was coming from China. The package took forever to update tracking. By the time the tracking information from track718.us said delivered there was no package that arrived. Upon attempting to contact the company, the customer service email address is no longer in use.

I bought a car part on FB Marketplace and payment was for the part and shipping, which the seller - Old-school Cars Accessories - was to arrange. At his direction, I paid the seller with Apple Pay (my first mistake). After numerous messages back and forth the seller finally acknowledged receiving my money and then notified me that I had to confirm that I was the person to receive the part before the shipping company would deliver the part to me. Supposedly the shipping company sent me an email with a tracking number that would allow me to do the confirmation. I never received the email, though I was hounded by the seller to the point of him asking me to send him "my email scam folder" so he could personally check it. Of course I refused. I then checked for a website for the shipping company - Full Speed Courier - but saw it was not quite right, especially on the contact page, which had overlapping information. I then called the contact number (San Antonio TX, although the website said their location was Cleveland, OH) and a recording said it was not a working number, check the number.

I informed the Seller of all this and he insisted I must be making some mistake. I then started receiving WhatsApp messages from someone from the San Antonio number, asking me to pay $150 for refundable insurance, which had to be paid before my shipment could be delivered. I screen shot the message and sent it to the Seller saying it all sounded very fishy. He insisted it was all my mistake and I just needed to the follow the directions if I wanted to get the part.

Of course, I didn't send the additional money and told both the courier and the seller I was going to report them as scammers, and I wanted my money back immediately. Response: You are too quick to jump to conclusions. Go ahead and report." I since found this online from what appears to be an honest, reputable business. Wish I'd seen this before....

Using a name based out of NY and saying they’re “going out of business sale” and pictures of people whine are owners but to find out it’s a fraud. The merch is garbage from what’s actually posted online.

This person offered loans and in the background, there were several people speaking like it was a legit company

Was sent a text message about having paperwork sent to me over 30 days ago and to call 866 448 3809. Deleted message and did not call. Looked up phone number on Google and word for word the description you had above from the other targeted person was sent to me besides a different “case file” number.

I booked three round trip flights to Medellin, Colombia for my children and I on cheapvuelos.com. I entered my credit card information and received a confirmation of booking email immediately. About an hour after booking the trip, i received a call from cheapvuelos.com stating that while I was entering my credit card information to book my trip, the seats had been purchased by someone else and were no longer available and the cost would now be over $5000. I requested to have the transaction canceled and was told they would not do that. I was transferred to a supervisor who tried to offer me other alternatives all requiring me to pay at a minimum $800 more per ticket. I refused and repeatedly requested to have the transaction voided. I was continuously told that was impossible, and that I’d have to pay $49 per ticket cancellation fee - a total of $147. The company tried running my credit card for said amount 7 times. When the card continued to be declined, the supervisor said I should talk to my bank and call her bank. I prodded to call my credit card company and tell them the story. They said nothing would go through and they flagged the company as a scam. I canceled my credit card and put a fraud alert on my credit. Several hours later, cheapvuelos.com called my phone and left a voicemail asking me to pay the fee. I blocked the number.

This scammer sent me a postcard stating about my "lapse of Warranty Replacement coverage. "

I thought I ordered something on Facebook which I thought was legit but after ordering I saw the same exact thing someone was talking about they sent them. Not the product I ordered

They have been calling every day sometimes twice a day claiming to attempt to collect a debt from "payday loan" from 2017. They call in asking for you to verify your personal information like your social and legal name. I made them aware to stop calling multiple times and to send any correspondence through mail only. They threatened to come to my job , to serve me court orders for the alleged payday loan that I've never taken out .

They just acted like a watch site i used before
