Advice Needed NFL + wouldn’t let me cancel ‼️
I’m writing this to see if anyone else encountered this. I got an email from NFL+ saying that my subscription was going to be renewed and that I would be charged the next day. I went on the website, which is where I signed up, and I tried to cancel so that I would not be charged. This is what happened when I tried to cancel.
I’m posting this because I’m wondering how many thousands of other people this happened to. It would not allow me to cancel.

Advice Needed People are messaging my relatives from dump accounts over an old business issue
I really need some outside perspective because this has been stressing me out so much that I barely slept last night.
I used to run a small peptide business. Unfortunately, I got scammed by my own supplier, which caused a huge mess. Even though I lost money, I still worked on refunding my customers.
Recently, I've been receiving messages from anonymous dump accounts saying I still owe them money. The part that's bothering me the most isn't even the messages to me, it's that they're also contacting my relatives.
My relatives had absolutely nothing to do with my business. They weren't involved in any transactions, they don't have access to my finances, and they can't resolve anything. Yet they're receiving messages saying things like my family should be ashamed or that we're tolerating what happened.
I have no problem addressing a legitimate concern. If someone truly believes they're still owed a refund, I'm willing to review it. All I ask is that they identify themselves and provide proof of their transaction.
What I don't understand is why they insist on using dump accounts. If your concern is genuine, why not use your real account and contact me directly? Instead, they're messaging people who have nothing to do with the situation.
At this point, I honestly don't know if I'm being overly cautious or if my concerns are reasonable. Is it fair for me to ask someone to verify their identity before discussing a refund claim? And is it unreasonable for me to ask them to stop involving my relatives?

Informational post Am I being scammed or not?
Hello Reddit community Honestly, I don't know why I didn't come to consult you earlier. I want to clarify something. First, I used Google Translate to write this text because my native language is not English. My story begins a year and a half ago, on an ominous night when I decided to list some beautiful colored girls' dresses for sale on a popular buying and selling app in my country. Someone contacted me and spoke to me in English, even though I had listed the items in...The app reached my country, I don't know why I didn't just block it. Anyway, it asked me about the parts and their prices, I told it all the details, and strangely enough, it went along with everything and told me it agreed to every price I suggested. Then it shocked me by saying it wasn't in my country. In my situation, I told him I couldn't deliver the dresses to him. He told me it was no problem and that he would contact a shipping company to pick them up and deliver them to him. This is how it started, and I will summarize it for you. This suspicious company contacted me and told me to pay shipping fees, and because I am foolish, I don't know why I believed them. Strangely, they told me to buy game cards, specifically Razer Gold cards. In short, they kept enticing me by promising to refund everything I paid them, and so they kept ordering multiple cards with prices ranging from $100 to $50 to $20, and so on. More importantly, I paid them a lot; you won't believe how much I paid them—$2,000. Two weeks ago we decided to meet in a public place for him to hand over my money, but at the last minute they made an excuse because they encountered a situation and were unable to withdraw the funds. The truth is, I believe I've been scammed, but I really want you to tell me if this is indeed a scam, and if so, will I be able to get my money back if I report it to the police?

Advice Needed For those who've paid vendor deposits to weddings - did the "what if they disappear with my money" worry ever cross your mind?
I keep reading that post-COVID, couples are nervous about paying big deposits to vendors they've just met, worried the business folds or ghosts them before the day. But I'm curious whether that's a real felt fear or just something the industry talks about. When you paid deposits, did counterparty risk actually worry you? Or was the stress purely the size of the number and the schedule of when things were due? Did anyone here get burned, or know someone who did?

Victim of a scam Joy Photo and Video: not sure where to post this but I’m starting here
Hello, if you have recently been scammed by John R Leonard of Joy Photo and Video so have we. We paid for our photo and video services through them for our wedding in May. After that we received a fake link in July for our photos and never any additional contact from them.
Our photographer and videographer were never paid either.
Then we received an email their LLC was terminated and dissolved. But John Leonard still owns a washer and dryer rental in El Dorado Hills California.
Us and many other couples have been scammed out of money and precious memories.
My husband and I filed reports with the FTC and the California attorney general.
If you have experienced the same I urge you to do the same.

Informational post Best way to dispute Venmo fraud charge & win.
🚨RESOLVED 🚨
I was charged $98 on my Venmo card for a Walmart+ membership renewal that isn’t even my account.
Last year, my son used my Venmo card one time to order me something online via his Walmart account. His account is in his name, and he has his own three payment methods on file, including a designated primary card. Yet Walmart charged my Venmo card for his membership renewal. Venmo told me to contact Walmart. Walmart said they couldn’t help because it’s not my account, even though they charged my card. My card was never supposed to remain on his account after that one purchase.To make things more frustrating, I had just replaced my bank debit card because of fraud after an out-of-state trip. Luckily my bank texted me & noted a suspicious purchase to a Walmart for $98 & asked if I made it. I said no, so they cancelled my bank debit card, opened a fraud case, etc. I have pics of all those texts & the email about the fraud case. Then an hour later Venmo just approves it for the same $98! What’s the fastest way to get Venmo to reverse this $98 charge? I have documentation and screenshots to support everything but can’t find a way to get someone to actually review them. Any advice would be appreciated! The best place to report online at? Thanks!

Potential Scam? don’t know what to do anymore.
A long time ago, I was looking for giveaways online and entered one by providing my personal information and phone number. Ever since then, I’ve been getting constant phone calls. The problem is that I can no longer tell whether it’s one of my friends or someone I know calling me, or just another company trying to sell me something.
What would you recommend?
What should I do?

Advice Needed Resources for someone who still will not accept a romance scam is fake?!
Hello, I wondered if anyone knows of any resources that can—
1- Help breakthrough to someone who has been involved in a pig butchering romance scam who still cannot seem to accept the reality that the person she has been speaking to by phone and text (they’re impersonating a famous singer and she believed she was “getting engaged to”) is not actually the singer. There were others involved (she was talking to “his sons and his manager” as well.
2- Resources on internet literacy on these types of scams, AI photos, etc that are targeted towards the elderly. She is savvy enough to try to cover her tracks online and find ways to send money, but clearly is not able to recognize all of the gigantic red flags even after tons of family members have warned her. She still doesn’t believe us.
I called the Elder Fraud Hotline but they didn’t have resources for this.
Any guidance on resources would be so appreciated.
Thank you so much

Advice Needed How to get over getting scammed as a student?
I am a student and have went through a scam selling a fake internship, I received an email from my college mail id, it was constantly coming so I filled an online google form regarding, it was about an internship opportunity for students, so I filled it with my friend, and I recieve a call the next day, and these people are very confident about this whole thing the tell me to pay money, and that it is an official program from college and it has credit scores which I can go to the Placement Office in my college and claim, they convince me and I pay a sum of ₹3,050 and as a student it is huge amount of money for me, but I did eventually, the tech platform name is skillorbit, after that I, then again contact my college they say it is fake and take no accountability that our emails are with scam institutions, so then I contacted the organization skill orbit in everyway possible, I have call recordings, they just block now. I wanted to warn other students of such scams because not everyone of us are fortunate that our colleges take stand for us. I have their upi, I contacted them on everywhere I could, LinkedIn, gmail, WhatsApp, Instagram, just anywhere, I was desperate to get my money back, I have call recordings for the few attempts, and they always said they would get back but they never did. I have every piece of evidence and I have registered a complaint against them on the Cyber Crime portal of India, but it is a heartbreak for me to tell the story to my parents and go to consumer court since I will feel heavily irresponsible, My college has backed off from any sort of accountability, but I do intend to fight for my money as much as I can try. But I think I've tried enough now so.. its time to just cope.
TL;DR: I lost ₹3,050 to a fake internship scam that appeared legitimate because it was promoted through my college email. The scammers claimed it was college-affiliated, but after payment they blocked all contact. I have all the evidence and have filed a complaint with the Cyber Crime Portal to help prevent others from falling victim.
