I GOT A BROCHURE THROUGH THE MAIL INDICATING YOU HAVE WON A PRIZE BASED ON MATCHING 3 PULL OFF TABS FROM A SERIES OF 6 CHANCES.. HOW TO PLAY STATES: OPEN THE PULL TABS. IF YOU FIND ONE OF THE THREE MATCHING SYMBOLS BELOW YOU ARE A WINNER. THEN MAKE SURE YOU COME INTO THE DEALERSHIP WITH THE WINNING CARD. THERE ARE 7 AVAIABLE PRIZES FROM $10,000 CASH (MATCH 3 CAR SYMBOLS TO THE SMALLEST PRIZE OF WINNING A JBL SPEAKER. ONE OF MY SERIES OF 3 PULL OF TABS SHOWED 3 CARS WHICH INDICATED $10,000 CASH. I CALLED AN ENCLOSED NUMBER, GAVE THEM THE ASKED FOR SERIAL CODE AND SHE CONFIRMED YOU ARE A WINNER, SO I ASSUMED WE WON THE $10,000 PRIZE. I NEEDED TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT TO COME INTO DEALERSHIP TO CLAIM THE PRIZE. WHEN WE WENT INTO DEALERSHIIP, THE PERSON WHO PRINTED THESE CARD TOLD US THAT NEARLLY EVERYONE GOT 3 CARS ON THEIR PULL OFF TABS, THAT IN ORDER TO FIND OUT IF WE WON THE $10,000 WE HAD TO SPIN A WHEEL OFF OF HIS PHONE. OF COURSE ALL WE WON WAS A $2.00 LOTTERY TICKET. THE RULES WERE NEVER CLEARLY SPELLED OUT IN THE RULES SECTION. STATED IN THE RULES THAT THE ODDS OF WINNING THE $10,000 WAS 1: 1,000,000. hE TOLD ME THEY ONLY PRINTED AND MAILED 100,000 BROCHURES, HOW DID HE COME UP WITH THE 1:1,000.00.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare - Medical Billing Scam

My father received a collection notice from AMCOL Systems, Inc. It says it is for medical services received from FOX VALLEY. The details of the notice show 15 lines all dated 4/15/2025 with a balance due of $10.00 per line for a total of $150.00. The only medical service my dad received was from Fox Valley Surgical Assoc. I called them and asked about his account. They said he was paid in full and they did not send him to collection. AMCOL said the $150.00 is what is due from what the insurance did not pay. I said I never received a bill for this/these services nor did I receive an EOB for these charges. I called the insurance company and they don't have any medical claims for the date of 4/15/2025. There was 1 prescription claim that came through with the date of 4/15/2025. I believe these charges are not real.

Tech Support - Tech Support Scam

I am reporting a deceptive business solicitation by an entity identifying itself as NC IT Solutions LLC (doing business as "Premier Setter"). The company solicited me by phone/email offering 20 qualified meetings for $600 and pressured for immediate payment. When I requested standard vendor documentation (W-9 with a valid EIN), the representative refused and instead supplied only the North Carolina Secretary of State file number and tried to pass it off as the EIN. The website premiersetter.com states 20+ years in the business, however the articles of incorporation are only 15 years old, and the website itself was made in June of 2025. The representative "Rose Anderson" who also had an Indian accent, pressured me repeatedly to pay an invoice before providing additional product information or verifiable tax or client reference information. I was then contacted by their "owner" who claimed they only provide EIN's to "clients". I consider this high-risk deceptive sales practice - misrepresenting state registration numbers as federal EIN's and withholding W-9 information when requested prior to payment.

DO NOT PURCHASE ANYTHING FROM ELLA & ROSE BOSTON. It is a complete scam. There is no such store in the United States, and certainly not in Boston, Massachusetts. This is a website only, internet fraud scheme. If you order product, you will either (a) never receive anything or (b) receive something cheap and different than what you ordered. All product (if anything is actually delivered) is from mainland China. Customer service will provide fake tracking numbers. Beware - do not enter any personal information to "track" your product as this is also a scam. Customer service will respond by email and try to convince you that there is an error and that they are working on it, but your product will not be delivered.

Employment - Matrix Media Support Imposter Job Offer

I was sent an email offering a job as a proofreader for some customer service texts, checking for grammar, punctuation and clarity. I worked for a week straight, doing the work and sending my review on a .docx document back via email. I was offered a rate of $7/kb, and with the five documents that I reviewed I should've received (according to my calculations) slightly over $200. When it was time for my payment, they said that the position of "online office manager" was not available anymore, but that I could work as a "deals manager" instead for a fixed salary of $3000/month + 7% on commissions. When I asked them to just pay me for the $200 that I worked hard for before I could continue with the deal, they were very adamant on not paying me until I had accepted their offer first. At this point, so many red flags were raised that I couldn't continue with this charade, and I stopped replying to their emails/sending then any more messages. A few months later, I found this website of a person having the same experience that I've had, so I'm sharing my experience in the hope that the class action lawsuit leads somewhere... I feel cheated of the money that I worked hard for.

Counterfeit Product

On August 19, 2025, I followed an online video of a weight loss product that Oprah was endorsing. I made a purchase. At that particular time, I was not feeling well and was home from work in bed. Soon after my transaction went through, I received a call from a gentleman that led me to believe he was calling from the same company I had just bought from. He convinced me that the product he was talking to me about would enhance the “Oprah” endorsed product. My understanding was that I was purchasing a few bottles to work with the product I ordered. It wasn’t until I saw my credit account that I was charged about 3x the amount. I did receive the product and saw there was a full refund given within 60 days. I have been researching, calling them to no avail. On the lst call, I was pretty sure they were not a company. I was told they would call me back. That never happened. I have called many times since and they promise to call back. They don’t. Is there anything I can do to recover the money I gave them.

Posted comments state Thomas Moore is the "best" Golden Retriever breeder. When I contacted him October 3, 2025, he stated he could deliver the puppy by the weekend for half deposit and an additional $210 fee. He requested Apple Ipay, but I don't have an iPhone, so he suggested I get an Apple Pay eCard. He was very kind and convincing in the messages. I attempted to purchase the ecard online, but when that didn't work, I went to a Dollar General, bought the cards for $200 and $500, and sent him pictures. He then transferred the money inot his Apple iPay account. He kept saying we would be so happy with our new puppy and that he would be delivered early Saturday morning, October 4, 2025. Early that morning he stated that the Shipping agent would not accept his crate, and I had to rent a Thermal crate for an additional $850, but that I would get back half upon delivery. This went on and on, because I refused to pay. He then sent me pictures of some poor child in a hospital bed, with tubes and monitors saying this was his child and that was why he didn't have the money to pay for the crate. I had realized by this time that this was all a scam. This morning, Oct 7, he contacted me saying He came up with the money for the crate, and he would be delivering the puppy to me as long as I promised to pay him back the money he paid for the crate.
