David about marketfirmdelivery@researchforces.org
Sent me bogus cashier's check, and wanted me to buy three gift cards at different Wal-Mart stores. Then I was to e-mail them photos of both sides of these gift cards. I checked the check out, and even called the Columbia State Bank. Somehow, they had the right routing number, but it was in the wrong place, and the account number they used did not exist. I'm just saving it to show as an example of the kind of scams that are out there. I did write VOID across the check. Lesson Learned? What would you say? Ha Ha Ha, I hope they spent some money overnighting it through UPS.

I Do Not Recall Using This Company Or Even Signing Up For Anything With Them. Never Heard Of Them Yet They Have Been Charging Me $39.90 For The Past 7Months.. I’ve Reported This To Ny Bank 3 Times Already Causing Me To Have To Get A New Debit Card Each Time. Yet They Still Continue To STEAL My Money.. Any Advice On How To Get These Thieves To STOP Without Having To Open A New Account?
Never heard of this company and definitely never signed up for any services. They started deducting 39.90 monthly for a "subscription'. Somehow they were able to get my new credit card number even after the first charge was flagged as suspicious. I reported (again) to credit card company and luckily the company agreed it was unauthorized and refunded my account. Advise immediately calling bank if you see this company name or amount on a statement.

This is to inform you, that you are going to be legally prosecuted in the Court House within a couple of days. Your S.S.N is put on hold by the US Federal Government, so before the case, if filed we would like to notify you about this matter.
It seems apparent that you have chosen to ignore all our efforts to contact you in order to resolve your case. At this point, you have made your intentions clear and have left us no choice but to protect our interest in this matter. Now this means a few things for you, if you are under any state probation or payroll we need you to inform your manager/Concerned HR department about what you have done in the past and what would be the consequences once the case has been downloaded and executed in your name.
Now, FTC is pressing charges against you regarding 3 serious allegations:
1. Violation of federal banking regulation act 1983 (C)
2. Collateral check fraud
3. Theft by deception (ACT 21 A)
If we do not hear from you within 24 hours of the date on this letter, we will be compelled to seek legal representation from our company Attorney. We reserve the right to commence litigation for intent to commit wire fraud under the pretense of refusing to repay a total outstanding amount committed to, by use of the internet. In addition, we reserve the right to seek recovery for the balance due, as well as legal fees and any court cost incurred.
WE CARRY ALL THE RIGHTS RESERVED TO INFORM TO FBI, FTC YOUR EMPLOYER AND BANK ABOUT FRAUD.

You have won $500 worth free travel vouchers from Costco! Fake Costco member offers! Beware! This has nothing to do with Costco. You could get scammed into paying for a bogus travel package!
The caller said I won money from American Dream Foundation. Asked me to pay taxes $7500 to receive 750,000 prize money! Told him to ply his stupid trick elsewhere!
Left voicemail informing me about suspension of my social security account since it has been "compromised" (Hmmm...) You dont get voicemails from the SSA! And that too without identifying me by my name!
The caller said there was a subpoena against my name based on a civil complaint and that I need to call or have "your lawyer" call them! As if we retain lawyers whole year round! Nasty scare tactic indeed!
The female said her name was Betty Thompson! But she had a fake accent and was certainly an alien or an illegal immigrant trying to scam you
This is my favorite scam robo-call. The bad grammar in the robo-call makes me laugh every time. So much a non-english speaker who just used a translation engine and then make a robo phrase out of it. I just want to have them keep calling so I can get a good laugh every time. Who would believe this was real. No gov't employee calls it your "social" over a phone line. duhhhh
Fake Directv marketer. Offers 50% discount on future bills if we send him 5 months advance! Cool scam!

SPAM TEXTS PHISHING LINKS SMS SCAM
What are the popular SMS/Text Message Scams?
Spam texts (SMS Messages) are sent by computers, bots or apps programmed to spit out hundreds of messages every minute. Scammers expect only a very small percentage of recipients to respond. To increase the chance of successful hits, scammers flood mobile phone networks with millions of messages. Their ultimate aim is financial gain by defrauding unwary recipients who respond assuming that the spam text message they received is legit. Report at Myrmillo.com.
It's important for you to be aware of various types of SMS scams and hence be guarded.
Lottery / Sweepstakes Spam Texts
The fraud business of making money by sending spam SMS commenced with "lottery winner" scam! It's wide spread across the globe. Unwary recipients are amazed to hear they have been "randomly" selected to win a large prize. Scammers use names of well known corporations including Coca Cola, Pepsi, Apple, Microsoft to make the text appear legit. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Bank Account or Credit / Debit Card Suspension
Text message disguised to make it appear as if sent by your bank or your credit card service provider could make the recipient call back or click a phishing link, all designed to steal account credentials. Deceived users panic when they are alerted by unauthorized debits. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Fake Loan Spam Texts
Scammers send bogus messages informing users that their loan application is approved and to get back to them, to receive funds in their bank accounts. The deceived user ends up making an advance fee payment for a loan which never existed. Dubious websites collect loan applications and pass on the phone numbers of unsuspecting customers to criminal networks, for a fee. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Bogus Debt Collection Spam Texts
Fake debt collectors and bogus law firms, send out messages about unpaid debts. Same message is sent to thousands of people, at the same time! Someone who may have defaulted on a loan could get scammed into believing that the message, is in fact, from his creditor and end up paying money which does nothing, to reduce his debt. Report at Myrmillo.com.
IRS, HMRC Tax Demand Scam
In US, Canada and the UK, messages demanding tax payments are a major source of fraud. The messages are largely sent out by scam operators in foreign countries who have local agents to collect "tax" from panicking tax payers. Once a tax payer reverts, the fake tax agents threaten arrest & to freeze bank accounts. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Free Grant Money Spam Texts
Like tax fraud, grant money texts also originate largely from foreign shores. Scammers assures victims that they were selected by the Government due to their clean criminal record and for not being bankrupt!! You would wonder how anyone could fall for such stupid scam! But according to the FTC, every year, citizens collectively lose millions of dollars, in this scam. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Unauthorized Charges
People complain of receiving sudden alerts from their banks or credit card providers about debit of money (usually in small denominations, under $100) which they had not spent or authorized. The unauthorized charges are often result of a preceding phishing scam where the user would have unknowingly shared his banking info with scammers. Report at Myrmillo.com.
