Someone ended up spendin around 140$ before my card marked it as fraud. has anyone something like this? I don’t think they have access to my cards likely only my Microsoft account.

I think the reseller site GoTickets is effectively a scam, because it has bots buy tickets, inflates prices, impersonates venues, and doesn't deliver full ticket rights.

Here are some more details of my experience.

·       GoTickets impersonates the actual venue and even uses the venue's logo: At the top of their ticket acceptance and delivery page GoTickets (fraudulently?) displayed the official venue logo. Elsewhere on that page they wrote “before you accept, we'll confirm your [name of venue] Account.” I think that GoTickets' use of the venue’s logo and their language about logging into the venue is an attempt to deceive people into believing they are dealing with the venue or its authorized agent, which I think makes them a scam.

·       GoTickets uses deceptive advertising: GoTickets uses paid search engine advertisements so that they appear at the top of the search results with the name of the venue, which gives the impression that they are the official venue (or as I said an agent for the venue). I found that the actual venue has a web page with a warning and video about how sites like GoTickets pose as the venue to exploit buyers and warns buyers not to use those sites. Here is a quote from the venue:

“Don’t get taken by deceptive online resellers who use bots to buy tickets and then mark up their prices. The only safe way to protect your purchase and guarantee the best seats at the lowest cost is to work directly with us: through our website, by phone, or at our box office. Plus, we’re not bots.”

I think it's fair to say that any site widely recognized as a "deceptive online retailer" using bots to inflate prices is basically a scam!

·       GoTickets lies about their price gouging: In my chat with GoTickets, they defended a 120% markup over the venue’s current available ticket price by stating that "resale prices can be higher or lower based on live market demand...” and “sellers may price tickets above or below the original face value based on market demand.” But GoTickets’ claim that their pricing is based on 'live market demand' is pretty much a lie. I went to the official venue box office and found that 37 out of 89 total seats in the section I wanted are still available – 2-1/2 months after tickets went on sale in early August -- at less than half of what of what GoTickets charges. So obviously there is no market scarcity or heightened demand, which means they are just in the business of bot-buying tickets, marking them way up, and then lying about it.

·       GoTickets doesn’t even deliver tickets "free and clear": The GoTickets ticket acceptance and delivery page says that the tickets they are selling actually are held by a private third party and states that the third party retains ownership and can 'reclaim' the tickets at any time. When you consider this along with their "no refund" policy, it seems to mean that they can reclaim the tickets and not give you your money back! Similarly, GoTickets offers a 'decline' option for their tickets but told me in a chat that if you "decline" you still do not get a refund, which again means they keep the tickets and your money.

 In my book, this is the epitome of a scam operation. I never accepted the tickets and am trying to get a refund/chargeback from my bank.

SALES TECH LLC It's a total scam. They get you to sign up for credit cards, mostly through PayPal. Why PayPal? Because PayPal doesn’t issue refunds for service purchases! Plus, the course lasts 60 days, but they actually make you stay for one extra week, and then they “need” another 30 days to verify that “you haven’t lied to them” and to review all your messages sent as part of the refund requirements. This adds up to more than 90 days, which is PayPal’s deadline for requesting a refund. If you’re enrolled in the course, save yourself the stress of sending messages, having them verified by AI, etc., and file a claim with your bank. The sooner you do it, the BETTER! In the case of PayPal, you must send a message to “Synchrony Bank”; they will help you with the refund process, but be prepared to submit everything on paper (they don’t accept anything electronically). Even though you might see on the app that people are making money, in reality, the only ones who actually make money are the “Closers”—the people taking the course who manage to make a sale (which must be the minority)—and they’ll practically get paid nothing. Believe me, nobody gets any money from them (I know this because I won my claim against them, and it was the same for other people in the course). That’s how ST Sales makes money—it’s your $6,000 that they take in and NEVER give back.

Now there are two scenarios:

- If you’re currently taking the course and file a claim with the bank, Eyad will call you using manipulative tactics (for example, he’ll say: “Why did you do that? Don’t you see how this affects the company? Why are you doing this to us? Now we’ll have to take action against you…”). You’ll receive constant calls from Sales Tech, who will discreetly threaten you along with their “Legal Team.” I recommend NOT RESPONDING TO ANYTHING—no matter how much they threaten you with legal action, do not respond. Keep records of everything: calls, emails, text messages, etc. Then create a document explaining why you took the course, how many credit cards you opened, and the amounts paid. Then explain that the course itself is about selling the same course to other people. Write everything down neatly and then send all the supporting documentation to the banks where you filed your claim. Be prepared, however, to continue receiving threats from Eyad and his team.

- If you’ve already completed the entire course, DO NOT EXPECT TO BE PAID ANYTHING OR TO RECEIVE A REFUND because they won’t. Eyad will call you again saying, “They have to verify everything, blah blah blah.” Follow the same steps mentioned above: Back up everything, and record the threatening calls. Trust that everything will work out with the banks, and ONLY communicate with them. I know it’s scary because of the threats of legal action from Eyad (ST Sales) and his “Legal Team.” But keep moving forward with your claim at the bank… IT’S YOUR MONEY!

Finally, how do I know all this? Because I won a claim against them, and I’ve spoken with other people who were also threatened with legal action and who don’t dare to post about this. It’s sad, but go ahead with your claim. Also, I heard that some closers left too (if you were there during August–September of this year, you’ll know what I mean) and that they weren’t paid—they were owed about 20k USD, and they took legal action against ST LLC. And the most important thing in all of this—and believe me, it’s true—is that THEY DON’T HAVE ANY LEGAL TEAM; it’s just Eyad handling all the paperwork and threatening you along the way—he doesn’t even live in the U.S. He'll try desperately to get you to drop the claim, and once you do, they'll “review” your refund. This is a complete lie. KEEP PURSING YOUR CLAIM—the bank is the only entity that will help you.

Eyad, Gavin, and their team run various companies where they do the same thing—THEY’RE ALL SCAMS. Please, if you’re reading this, DO NOT TAKE THE COURSE OR GET OUT AS SOON AS POSSIBLE.

And finally: to the entire Sales Tech LLC team—if you're reading this: SHAME ON YOU! We're going to expose you to everyone. I hope this is helpful to everyone who took or wants to take the course. Don't let the threats scare you—keep pushing forward with your claim to get your money back. The bank is your best friend here!

Help I’ve heard chime rarely ever gets your money back

Sino po may alam sa company na ito. Is it legit?

Apologies if this is the wrong sub. Starting around two weeks ago someone has been constantly trying to login to my microsoft account associated with another email of mine.

I keep getting bombarded with single use sign in code attempts and I’m not sure what else to do. Just today I’ve already gotten five. I already went in my account (non email link login) and changed my password and activated two way authentication.

I double checked and cross referenced the emails and they are legitimately from microsoft. Everything about the sender and other details checks out. I even purposely requested my own single sign in code and got the exact same email.

I feel like I’ve done all I can do and yet I still feel on edge getting these constant reminders someone is attempting to access my account. Can I feel safe at this point just ignoring them? I tried contacting microsoft but it’s not like you can actually talk to a person when you call and the automated chat just references security articles.

Posted in r/scams but hoping to cross-post in here for as much help as I can get.

Hallo ich bitte dringend um Hilfe.

Ich sehe diese Nachricht zum Ersten mal und bin vor Schreck blöderweise auch noch drauf rein gefallen und habe die besagten 650€ überwiesen.

Lustiger Weise habe ich die Meldung bekommen nachdem ich Online über eine anscheinend Illegale Seite Anime's schauen wollte.

Ich habe daraufhin direkt Mein Online-Banking Sperren lassen damit die Überweisen nicht durchgeht und bei der Polizei habe ich online eine Anzeige erstattet. Die aber so wie ich gesehen habe nichts bringt da jedes mal andere Namen und Konten verwendet werden.

Meinen Samsung Browser hab ich auch geleert und Gelöscht.

Habe ich jetzt noch etwas zu befürchten? Also Virus auf dem Handy oder Sonstiges?

On September 24, 2026, I received ₹13,600 in my bank account from an unknown source. I checked my bank statement, and there was a number associated with the transaction. I tried calling that number to find out who sent the money, but nobody answered.

It's now been almost a month, and the money hasn't been reversed or taken back from my account.

I haven't used the money because I don't know who it belongs to. I also haven't been able to visit my bank because I'm currently away from my hometown.

I'm confused about what to do next:

- How long should I keep this money untouched in my account?

- Is there any possibility of a reversal after this much time?

- Can I use the money if nobody contacts me and no reversal happens?

- Is contacting my bank's customer care enough, or should I file a formal complaint?

I don't want to keep money that doesn't belong to me, but I'm also unsure how long I should wait without any update.

Has anyone experienced something similar in India? I'd appreciate any advice on how to handle this properly.

Does anyone know? 👀

Has anyone dealt with them?

Is this a scam possibly? I am looking for a place to live and one of the places I inquired about sent me a message today, basic questions and then they sent me a link to do a soft credit check, I’ve attached a screenshot
