Government Grant

Told me he would help me get a government grant. Sent me two checks for 9K and they set in my account for 9 days. The checks were no good and the bank is telling me I'm on the hook for the money even though I never spent any of it. This all happened on October 18th.

Phishing

This company was fraudulently posing as a hospital medical department asking to pay off medical bills. My name is Christina Cornwell. I am the power of attorney for my mother Bridget Hernandez, so I called on her behalf because something didn’t add up right with the bills and information on the bills. I quickly realize after speaking with the representative for a few moments this could definitely be a scam. They started asking for family members names and to take payment over the phone. We spoke to two different representative one’s name was Jaisem and the other was Lester. Lester was the last one who we spoke to on 11/01/24 @1:35pm I would really like to get this information out there because I’m sure if it had reached a different elderly person that didn’t know any better or have other people looking out for them. They would’ve sent a check and then they would’ve had money stolen from their account. I’m still worried because they have our address and names.

Online Purchase - Facebook Ad Scam

Clicked on a FB ad of two American women selling Judy Blues jeans. Bought some and received email confirmation and later a package tracking link. After over 30 days, link said package delivered. There was NO package. After back and forth emails to them, they still won’t refund my money. They blamed me for possibly putting in the wrong address which I didn’t. They blamed the shipping company. They offered to reship and I said no. They then offered a 40% refund because THEY lost something too. By this time, I have realized this is a complete scam. They lastly offered a 90% refund. I haven’t emailed them back because I don’t believe a word they say. I told them I would move forward with them and their website being a scam. There is so much more I could type but that would take forever.

Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare

Scammers cold calling to get a referral fee from the real company. They call and act like they've called before and follow a script to send calls to SG benifits providers who are willfully ignorant to the process. If the calling the number i provides you will either start with a 3rd party going for the referral fee or you get the ones asking for your Medicare number or ssn. I dont blame the company but the fact they send money to them for referrals is the problem and paying scammers is the issue.

Employment - Seirve Construction/ Whole Foods Imposter Secret Shopper Employment and Phishing Scam

I received a priority parcel from the USPS that was from a company called Seirve Construction with an address of 509 NW 18th ST in Grand Prairie Texas. In the enclosed envelope was a letter and a cashiers check for 1795.00. The letter in the envelope read at the top that it was from "Whole Foods Market Customer Service" and was an "Evaluation Assignment." The letter then went on to say that I was selected by this company to carry out a set of tasks which were cashing the check and purchasing Footlocker gift cards totaling $1300 and to keep the remaining $495 as a reward and for gas and expenses. The objective was to go to stores and evaluate the customer service of the stores upon purchasing the gift cards giving reporting information about the store like Store Name, Address, Time of VIsit and Name of Cashier. Also I was to provide whether or not the customer service agent was friendly and thanked me for my purchase as well as detailing my overall experience. After which I was also supposed to record about how long the transaction took and then "capture images of the front and back of the gift cards that I purchased with the pin# scratched off. The letter then told me that "under no circumstances should I acknowledged that I was evaluating the stores services" because it would deter from the whole program and if asked if I was a secret shopper I should say no. There was an email address and phone number for the contact on this survey and I had to contact the person to initiate the start of the process and let them know an approximate timeframe of when i would be done with the tasks. They also offered a bonus of $300 to participants that completed the purchases of the gift cards in 6-12 hours. This is a method that cleans the willing participants bank account before the check bounces and leaves them footing the bill for whatever amount they were able to get. Fortunately I was only able to purchase $750 dollars worth of the gift cards because of issues with my bank supsecting suspicious activity and only allowing $250 dollars being purchased at a local walgreens. To get the other $500 card I got I went and got cash because I was informed that I was still eligible for the bonus if I couldn't get all $1300 worth but I should just get as much as I could. I ended up sending photos of the front and back of each card I got and only one card was able to be fully redeemed. The other card was missing the full pin number so couldn't be used. I informed the contact Adam Brentwood at 828-316-1633 that I would look into getting the pin this weekend as I would also try to get the remainder of the amounts left for the other gift cards. Thankfully the last purchase I made of the $500 gift card kept gnawing at me based on some of the probing questions the customer service agent i worked with asked me about the gift card purchase based on knowing the recipient because even though I had sent the gift card over to continue to try and get the bonus I became suspicious and looked up the address of the company, and the contact phone number and found a very long list on several websites about the number being associated with the same exact scam that I fell victim too and the address was not a construction company as that company had no trace and the address was at a house for sale on Zillow. I then contacted my bank and filed a report, put the money in I was responsible for in so I wasn't overdrafted and froze my credit, and called to police.

Online Purchase - Online Purchase Scam

I saw this electric lift that you put under a car to lift it up so you can work on it, so I in good faith ordered it, paid for it with credit card " filed a dispute with them". first it took them over a month just to ship it, finally got tracking number came from out side of USA after 2 months of shipping they tell me it was delayed in customs, then it was rejected from Customs and is still sitting there but was told it was being returned. I have had many email back and forth from the company even though, I finally stated I wanted to cancel the order only to be told that there is a charge for the shipping charge and that would be deducted from the total, that would have taken up most of what I paid, if they offer free shipping and now want to collect thats not right. I still have not gotten my refund, I did file a dispute with Capital One, they are working on it also. They should not be able to try to sell something that they have no intentions of sending out.

Online Purchase - Ruby Glam Jewels Online Retail Scam

It was a FREE AD for a set of CRUESET pans just pay shipping. My credit card company stopped this payment; however, they recently sent me a bill for the entire amount. Unsure if they just did not communicate with their fraud dept. I paid the shipping charges to the credit card folks BUT NO PANS EVER ARRIVED. I may have to continue this scam charge with them; but wanted it reported the Jewels company is a scam. I know better as nothing is FREE so why I even did this transaction is beyond me.Please put this Ruby Glam on the scammer list. Thank you.
