Bank/Credit Card Company Imposter - Chase Bank Imposter - Fake Fraud Alert - Phishing Scam

They called from Chase saying they red flagged two Zelles I supposedly made. He said they didn’t release the money yet. I knew it was a scam and told him I did in fact make the two transactions. He then said “ok. well we haven’t released them yet so here are two codes you need so we can release them.” (This happened to a friend of mine and what happens next is they transfer you to another dept where they ask for your banking info to either release the Zelle or contest it depending on what answer you give them). After I took the codes I told him that I had him on the phone long enough to trace the call and that I would be reporting it to the police. Then he said “fine we are going to allow the transfers to go through “. Then hung up. They need to up their game. This was pathetic.

Got a call from a man with a southern accent saying he was from the New York State Processing Unit and mentioned something about Westchester County court system. He was speaking loudly and quickly which made it difficult to understand. I asked him to slow down and he said ok but that if I don’t listen I will be marked as non-compliant. He also mentioned a firm called Jasper and Allen which he said is a legal mediator. He asked if I live at an address in Westchester County where I do not live and also a credit card company which I did not recognize and I told him this. When he heard me asking someone with me to Google this processing unit and the legal office he spoke very quickly and hung up. When calling the Jasper and Allen office at the number on their website they also spoke very quickly and got annoyed when I asked them to repeat or clarify things and hung up on me. I called back to ask them to not call me anymore and they would answer and tell me to call when I have an adult with me - I am an adult - or simply disconnect the call. I called from a friends phone and they said they would not call that number but hung up before I could clarify they should not call my number as well. I normally don’t give these calls the time of day but they had my social security number which made me worried.

Her Smart Marketing appears to be a legitimate digital marketing agency that is a for-profit business, not a charity that accepts public donations in the traditional sense; as seen on the alleged persons' site. That is, faulty misuse and exploiting the BBB TRADEMARK for CHARITY but is in fact for profit. In addition, the business HER SMART MARKETING is not what the site pouts, meaning claiming to provide convicted prisoners in the US federal judicial prisons to crochet in side these maximum facilities. Thereby, the business then would sell these to the general public on behalf of these vulnerable populations. To Summarize Illegal/Ethical Violations: -Person/Persons at this "marketing firm" exploit and mislead prisoners, people with addictions and mental health issues to do manual labour for profit. -Misleading, false, and wrongful use and leverage of the BBB accreditation via logo and credentials, given they are not a charity nor accredited nor on the BBB site as a charity, etc. -Blur national lines via Canada and the USA given it is IDAHO prison population yet the company is legally incorporated in Ottawa. -Other Violations as well which can be deduced and proven upon further investigation and exploration via witness accounts, technological means of cyber attacks and tools, and optics, marketing fraud, etc.

They indicated they would resend the products expedited shipping, but I’ve still not received anything. I wish I would have read the reviews and comments before purchasing. So many people have been scammed by this company. When I reach out to CUSTOMER SERVICE, I do get responses however they are generic and repetitive. I am requesting a full refund from them and they say first they offered me 40%. and they said 70% and I said that it’s not satisfactory because I have not received the items and I want 100% refund. When I go to look up my order number it says my account does not exist so I cannot even get information. Absolute rip off company.
