Employment - Clearbarrel freight

I received 2 voicemail and a text message from a woman claiming to be Amber Hill with HR at Clearbarrel freight. She was offering me a job as a delivery specialist. She said that I would receive packages at my home via FedEx, ups, etc and print labels for them and deliver them to various businesses in the area, one being Best Buy. I told her I was at work and I would have to call her back. I did call her back on the phone number she called from which was 406-476-5273. There was no answer just a messaging system so I left my name and number and she briefly called me right back. She said she would send me an email with an employment contract in it, which she did. She also told me the pay was Approximately $ 4,000 per month plus bonuses. The email asked for a photo of my ID front and back and a selfie of me holding the ID. I didn't send anything. A couple days later which was this morning, feb 13, I received another voicemail and another text with the same information from another woman from clear barrel freight. Her name being "Rebecca White" and the phone number was 406-559-4823. I didn't reply

Counterfeit Product - Restlinens Inc

I think the ad that pops up all over Facebook for the down filled pillows is a total scam, the company claims to exist in US ( see address), but it is somewhere in China and the product is not a high end down pillow but a feather filled cheep pillow that can be bought for $10 in US. So they defrauded me for $120.00. When I tried to contact them for return, they never answered my email request. That alone - asking to send an email, rather than having a form to fill out - was suspecious right away. And to top it off, the phone that they provide keeps saying "Mailbox full".

I told them yesterday they needed to remove my number from their system, since it does not belong to him. He told me since this is the number they have for him, until they get in contact with him, they can't. I told them this was a scam and that they were harrassing me, and they would quickly hang up.

I responded NO They replied with Listerhill Credit Union Alert: Thank you for verifying this activity. No further action is needed. One of our representatives will be contacting you shortly. Then I got a phone call from that number, the caller did not give a name only that they were calling regarding the activity on my account and wanted to confirm that it was either me or not me and said the name attached to the phone trying to log in was "Deven R" I explained I did not know anyone with that name and they asked if I use a *** phone I said no I only use my ***and they asked if I use any other devices to log in and I said yes my computer, then he said he was going to send me a message that I needed to respond to in order to verify my identity and account. I got a text message that said: Listerhill Credit Union Alert: One Time Identity Check to RESTRICT Digital/Online Banking Services. Please verify Compromised ONLINE ID Via Automated Text System. So I asked the person what this message meant and he said I needed to respond with my affected account information and I said but I am on the phone with you now, why do I need to text it, he said so it could go through the automated system since they do not ask account information on the phone for security, I at that point knew something seemed off, I told him I did not recognize the phone number he texted and called me from and that nothing in my google search said it was connected to my bank, he said he worked in a call center who handles these calls for the bank but could hang up and call me back using the bank phone number, I said I prefer to call the bank myself and he said that since he is the one handling this matter they would only route me back to him, I said that is fine but I prefer to call myself as this seems suspicious and I hung up. He began calling me from actual banks phone number of 800-239-6033 HOWEVER it came up as UNKNOWN CALLER POSSIBLY SPAM, even though I have that number saved in my phone for my bank. So I called Listerhill Credit Union and was told that it was ABSOLUTELY NOT THEM that called and that it was definitely a scammer and told I needed to report this as we have recently found fraudulent activity on my account with my checking account being charged twice a month for over a year for *** when I only have ONE account with them.

Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Car Loan

This company is a loan company for a fraudulent car company. What they do is ignore text so they can repo your car and charge you $450 ontop of your car payment so it is harder to get back, in hopes that you cant pay it and they can take it back and resell it to another venerable customer. They have poor communication, do not give a heads up, like if you dont pay by this date we will repo. And they also make you pay the next month before the due date if they repo you. Because you are in a terrible position, you have no choice and they give no options because they can, and thats how they carry it. Like they can do what ever they want and you cant say a word or they become vindictive. Drivers financial is in cahoots with car time, they work together to scam customer's. The car's are not as they appear. This buisness also operates as a pawn shop, you do not find that out until later, and that alone shows their mentality.

Online Purchase - Exclusive Traveler Club

On our honeymoon we sat through the travelers club meeting. As a family of 6 (4 kids) we thought if this was a good way to save money on travel, it's worth looking into. They gave us the information, showed us the website, and it all seemed legit. They compared to expedia.com and their website. Up front we owed 686.00USD for initial fees and 3000USD for downpayment. Our monthly bill would be 198USD. Being told for the next 5 years we get unlimited access to the discounts that are on the website. We signed up on a Friday. After thinking through and looking at the website more in our own time, we decided this would not be the thing for us. Fun fact, you only get the discount for the good prices for 6 months and then after that you get 5% off. (That is NO WHERE in their contract) I have LOGS of trying to call them per their contract says we have 3 days to cancel. They are closed Saturdays and Sundays. By Tuesday they said we are passed our 3 days to cancel. I showed them how I had tried to get ahold of them, with no care. Their contract also says they have 3 days to respond to customers. I have now waited 2 weeks to hear back from anyone after they asked me for proof of my calls and a letter stating I want to cancel. I send it everything within 1 hour of their request for those things. 2 weeks later they are saying I can pay an extra 1000USD to cancel out. At the end of the day- the company will uphold the contract for the customer but won't for their side of things. Its a scam and I am now out almost 4000USD and will continue to be out every month for the next 5 years. Who wants to bet even after the contract is up, they will someone keep charging me!?
