Employment - Employment Solicitation - Fake Check Scam

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.

Phishing - Phishing

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.

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.

Online Purchase - Online Retailer Scam

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.

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.

Travel/Vacation/Timeshare - Last Fare Deals

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.

Online Purchase

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.... For your protection, we recommend purchases made through contacts on our website or any affiliated website be paid with a Credit Card, Paypal or COD. NEVER wire money through your bank account or Western Union to make a purchase from someone you don't know. Do NOT pay for parts from our vendors using wire transfers, CashApp, Zelle, Western Union, Money Gram, Prepaid Credit Card, ETC.

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.
