Phishing

We received a letter in the mail that appeared to be from our mortgage lender. The letter claimed it could help us obtain a reduced mortgage interest rate and lower monthly payments if we called the phone number provided. When we called, the representatives stated they were attorneys working on behalf of the Homeowner Assistance Fund and encouraged us to verify the fund’s legitimacy on the U.S. Department of Treasury website. They presented themselves as a legitimate legal assistance service and had us sign documentation agreeing to their terms as part of the next step in the process. They asked us personally identifiable information as well such as documentation for proof of address (DTE Bill & our mortgage statement), income information, if we have any debt, etc. Before we realized they were not a real business, they informed us that we would owe $1,775 for their services and we were nearly prepared to pay it. At that point, we discovered the company was not legitimate and ceased all communication. This appears to be a deceptive scheme targeting homeowners by impersonating mortgage lenders and misrepresenting affiliation with government programs. I have attached the document they sent my husband.

I am on the do not call list. But this is clearly a scam trying to get the person to connect with their "loan officers". This is happening every day. I empty my voicemail each night. Hearing from a distraught friend that they couldn't leave a message was the last straw. I can recieve up to 4 of the same calls an hour!

Phishing - Zelle - Impostor

I was selling a desk on Facebook Marketplace when I was messaged by someone who redirected me to her uncle to complete the purchase. He told me he was trying to pay through Zelle but could not send the payment without an email address. After I provided it, I received an email from “[email protected]” disguised to look like an official Zelle message. The email claimed that my Zelle account was “limited” because it was registered as a personal profile and instructed me to send $500 to “upgrade” to a business profile. It stated this $500 was a “refundable guarantor fee” and that once I sent it, my account would be credited with both the fee and the payment for the item I was selling. This message is fraudulent. Zelle does not require upgrade fees, guarantor payments, deposits, or any other payments in order to receive money. The email also attempted to create urgency and provided fabricated details to appear legitimate. This was an attempted scam, and I did not send any money.

Phishing - Sherriff's Office - Impostor

One of my family members was incarcerated and my dad received multiple phone calls from a Sergeant who claimed he had talked to our family men and told him he was able to get him into a local harbor house but would need a deposit to do it. I got the # from my dad and reached out to them, he dropped the price and stated if we wanted to do it then to get the money because beds were limited. My family member was incarcerated on a holiday so I was very suspicious and inquisitive about, how he could have seen a judge. I told him I would see if we could get the money and hung up the fake officer then text my # stating that he was able to lower the cost from 1000$ to 550 and said he would need it in the next hour or he couldn’t help. We immediately stopped contact with this imposter and confirmed that it was a scam when our loved one called and never seen a judge!! I believe this is a result of publicizing information on a free app that gives updates on recently incarcerated people with their personal information that anyone can access and use to target families of the incarcerated persons. #SCCSO - free on Apple and android

Phishing - Interactingbrokerages.com

Beware Beware Beware of a scammer impersonating Jack Kellogg and other STT successful members. I wished “Jack” a happy birthday on Facebook, he replied, and I thought I was talking to Jack himself. He moved the conversation to WhatsApp, trained me on candles and patterns, and offered to help grow my trading by copy-trading through interactingbrokerages.com. I converted $2,500 of crypto and deposited it. He then pushed me to open a fully funded account to bypass PDT rules, but I had no more funds, even though I tried using credit cards to buy BTC. and couldn't get any sited to use credit cards to buy crypto (Thank God) For about a week and a half the account appeared to grow, reaching $5,508. His replies became slow and vague, and when I asked for a photo of him at his trading setup, he ghosted me. I later received an email about another deposit, but the numbers didn’t add up—the account should have been $5,508 yet showed $4,437. I attempted to withdraw my $2,500 from interactingbrokerages.com, but it has stayed pending. I should have checked interactingbrokerages.com on BBB and Trustpilot, but I was blinded by the excitement of the impersonator’s promises. I lost $2,500, which is significant for my household. I have screenshots of the account and WhatsApp chats. I’ve blocked and reported him and will try to recover funds, though it's unlikely. Sharing this so others don’t fall for the same scam. ??

Employment - atsreadyresume

I was contacted by Laura Henry via email and LinkedIn stating she was conducting a retained search for a VP position in my field. Based on her brief description of the role it did seem like it would be a fit with my experience. I did a search on LinkedIn for her and a detailed, and well built out profile came up in which we had several shared contacts so I thought she was legitimate. I asked for more detail, she said it was a confidential search and she couldn't share additional information at this time. Which is plausible, for many retained searches. I sent my resume as requested and received this reply: "Your experience is aligned with the role, but your resume is not ATS-friendly. Kindly adapt your resume to be ATS-friendly as I need it asap. For creating an ATS friendly resume, please visit https://atsreadyresumes.com/ and send me your ats resume once the recommended website has completed it. For now, precise details about the role and our client are under wraps due to confidentiality protocols. Once we align our schedules, I’ll shed more light on this. I’ll review my calendar and circle back with potential timelines for our continued discussion. Regards, Laura Henry" I didn't really read the full email just that I needed to update my resume to be more ATS friendly - which should have been my first clue - because if she is the executive recruiter why would my resume need to go through an ATS? I did update my resume then clicked the link as I thought it was just going to show me an example - but it was a resume generator which required a $17.00 fee for an editable resume. Thankfully I didn't pay for the service but I am alarmed by the sophistication of this scam and concerned that there a many many people who may have paid since the fee seems so minimal and there are so many people looking for positions. Looking for a job is a full-time job made even more difficult by scams like this. This is an alarming trend and truly the big tech companies - like Microsoft who owns LinkedIn should do more to protect its paying users. They charge an excessive amount to companies ($20K - $200K annually) and individuals (sometimes thousands of dollars annually) to use their platforms and the scams are as prevalent as found on free social media sites like Facebook or Craigslist.

Online Purchase - Bestbestones

I ordered a shirt and M-65 Field Jacket from Bestbestones via an advertisement received on Facebook. I received a confirmation email on 10/25/2025 containing a customer service email address and tracking number. Several days later I attempted to track the items and to contact customer service using the addresses on the confirmation email only to be advised they were invalid. I then contacted my credit card company and advised I wanted to cancel the order and that my attempts to contact the vendor were not successful. They credited my account. Several days later the items ordered were received. They did not fit and the M-65 Field Jacket was more like a shirt than a jacket. I went to the Bestbestones webpage and reviewed their return policy and used the customer service address as shown on the webpage and requested information on the return address. CSR responded promptly and advised they would not provide a return address until I photographed the items, the packaging received, and the size labels on each item. This requirement was not set forth in their published return policy. I refused to provide photos because I considered this a breach of contract and outside their printed return policy, but I did confirm that their photos in their order confirmation email was accurate and reflected the condition the items were in and that I would be willing to return the items at my cost once I received a return address for the return. I advised them that after 5 days if they failed to provide a return address I would destroy the items received. As of this date and time I still have not received a return address. I have attached a copy of their return policy which they elected to amend after the contract was made.

Caller said they had documents to deliver to a family member and told to call 866-448-3953 with a reference number. Caller called second family member with same information. No information was given over the phone so the scam did not continue further. Original caller called from 248-221-0155.

Phishing - Merchant Services

313-761-4841 (or similar, always same area code) calls upwards 6 or 7 times a week asking to speak to the business owner. We don't process CC payments here and have informed them of such and they continuously press for more information. It has been roughly about a year that this has been happening- we have asked every time to be removed and not contacted again. If you try calling the number back it states that it is "out of service"

Online Purchase - Laura Geller Imposter Website - Online Retailer Scam

I was going to look at makeup online from Laura Geller. I did a google search for the site. I clicked on this site thinking it was the right one. It looked totally lagit, just like the actual Laura Geller website . Only the prices were really low. Anyway, I went through the checkout process, but the credit card payment would not go through. They asked me to enter a six digit verification code that was to be sent to my email. The email didn’t come until a couple hours later. By this time I had figured out that it was a scam. They were trying to access my Apple wallet account. I canceled my credit card right away since they had all my personal information and cc number. I do not have an Apple wallet account.
