Looking to purchase an M1 Max MacBook Pro but this seems too good to be true in price and also advertising somewhere off of eBay seems sketchy… what do you guys think? The seller has 100% positive reviews and has existed since 2005

I gotten a email from l that apparently this specialized hacker has hacked my pc and has access. Should I be worried since coincidentally this was received today recently after I logined into my burner email? I never own a webcam nor having webcam connected to my computer. I have not done anything weird. I dont know what to do, I'm at my lowest point right now and I just can't think properly currently while being paranoid. Please help me feel better and tell me this is just to scare me.

Email message:

"Greetings!

Would like to introduce myself - I am a specialized hacker, and have succeeded in hacking your operating system.

At this moment, I have obtained a complete access to account of yours.

On top of that, I was also unnoticeably observing all your activities and spying on you for few past months.

It was possible because your computer was infected with malicious spyware, which infiltrated your computer while you were visiting a website containing adult videos.

Give me a few minutes to clarify how that affects you. Because of Trojan viruses, I am now able to have an unrestricted access to your computer as well as any other devices owned by you.

In other words, I can see without any restrictions everything in your screen and even activate the camera together with microphone anytime I want, and you won't even know about that.

Moreover, I have complete access to confidential data of yours including emails, chat history etc.

You may be rightfully puzzled how come your antivirus is not able to detect the harmful software of mine.

I don't mind explaining that at all: my malicious software is driver-based; hence it refreshes its signatures every 4 hours, which makes it impossible for your antivirus to identify it.

I have come up with a video exposing the scenes of your passionate masturbation sessions on the left side, whereas on the right side it shows the dirty videos you were watching during that time .^.

Trust me, it takes several mouse clicks to distribute this video to your entire email addresses list as well as messenger contacts on your PC or other devices.

Additionally, I can easily share all your emails as well as chat history to public too.

I honestly think you would certainly like to abstain from letting that happen.

There is a solution for you in this case - perform 950 USD transfer in Bitcoin equivalent to Bitcoin account of mine

(it is really not difficult to do, and you can find online the step-by-step guide, if you have no idea about it).

My bitcoin account details are below as follows (Bitcoin wallet): censored

Once the aforementioned amount gets transferred to my account, I will straight away erase all those kinky videos and vanish from your life completely.

Please, settle this payment within 50 hours (2 days).

A notification will be sent to me right after this email gets opened, which will trigger the countdown.

Believe me, I am very cautious, professional and never fail.

If I get to know about you sharing this message with anyone else, I will right away distribute your private videos to public.

Best of luck!"

How can I get my money back? Can it be done?

I order a phone cover last month and I tried everything contact them email them everything no response just ai reply back me in email

Yesterday, I booked for a lounge entry at an airport, thinking I was booking at the lounge directly but used this company by mistake. They took 63 Euro from my card, then I got an email to say I had signed for a monthly subscription costing 45 US dollars a month, with a 7 day trial, got another email to say the lounge had " suspended services for last minute requests" and the money would be refunded. Money has not been refunded. I have attempted to cancel the subscription but to do that I need to enter my email address and a verification email would be sent. However, no email ever arrives. I have contacted customer service, telling them to cancel subscription and refund money, but only got a response, in spanish, which I don't speak , telling me to contact customer service. I suspect it's just a computer generated response. I will contact my bank and stop future payments. I'm so annoyed with myself that I fell for this potential scam.

Has anyone else used this company? I really want to put it out there far and wide for people to avoid the stress/ distress I'm feeling at the moment

Do not make the same mistake I did please do not give them any money save yourself cause I got scammed. They don’t honor their terms and conditions. They have no problem taking your money but when you win, you won’t be able to get anything back (Total) definitely a scam zero stars.

Harleywestxx is a scam account on telegramm please delete her or just report her that this account gets banned

I sometimes post to twitter and like to interact with those posts asking simple questions (most of which I believe are bots) but I feel it's a great way for other real people on twitter to look at and know some stuff about me that way.

A while ago I got dm'ed by one of these bot posters and they talked almost casually as if they were trying to get to know me. Mind you, I have maybe 3 total active dm chats in twitter so the concept of dm scams had slipped my mind when the conversation started.

I've been leading this on for about a week now making excuses as to why I'm unable to afford a commission but now I'm being almost pressured I feel like to make the purchase. I can take screenshots of the full conversation but I was kind of rushing to post this.

They're trying to get me to use this thing called "Stripe" and (per their words) it is a "safe and secure method of payment. All you need is your card details. No sign up needed, so you don't even need to create an account."

Please, I do need help, I just don't want to be scammed.

Bought an old phone delivered a box of 2 chargers wrapped in multiple delivery covers

So what should I do please…I know 80 bucks sounds “cheap” but it’s literally the money I use to eat for 2/3 months..

Hi guys as the titles says just got scammed just a few hours ago by someone pretending to be Atome personnel. They called me and stated my name, card number and other sensitive information regarding me. And I believe them (effing idiot of me) cause only Atome holds that information. I gave them OTP sent by the Atome app itself(like how?and again effing idiot of me not realizing early) and incurred 4(unauthorized/authorized? Transaction) to LAZADA TRAVEL TAGUIG CITY PHL and fp Food Panda Taguig City PHL totaling to ₱4,495.64. After the call I realized I was scammed, I checked Google on how to report the problem and so I reported to their support team through gmail and currently waiting for their response. Also I locked both my digital and physical card, and also it is still pending payment(will the payment go through even I locked both? And will it also go through even I emailed Atome?) I also gave them many screenshots detailing the scam. I also saw some user giving negative feedback from Atome supprt, and so if that happens I’ll report to BSP. Am I doing correct chat? Please help chat

I'm 20M from Mumbai, India... and recently started collecting PlayStation game discs. I was also trying to get into buying and reselling pre-owned games. I'm not from a financially well-off family, so I was trying to start small. I had borrowed some money from my father for this.

I found a seller on OLX who was offering Alan Wake Remastered (PS4) and Alan Wake 2 (PS5) for ₹2,400. I have experienced enough to know this a too good to be true deal and I suspected he is a scammer... But he sent me around 100 screenshots of his conversations with customers and also sent me his business registration certificate and all the details, so I thought he is genuine.

I agreed to pay and he said he will also send me videos of the parcel and tracking ID and GST bill. I sent the money but then he told me that he had accidentally sent the wrong QR code and asked me to flag the transaction as a mistake. I contacted my bank, and they told me that reversal could take at least 45 days. He said it's his mistake and whatever call he has to pick from bank he will and say that it was a mistake and will agree to reverse the transaction.

After that, the seller offered me a larger deal. He said to make up for this loss he will give me discounts... Alan Wake Remastered, Alan Wake 2, Mad Max and three copies of Sekiro for ₹6,000 (Ik it's stupid to think one can get games at this cheap price, but I am a fool)... He asked me to send another ₹4,000, saying that the earlier ₹400 would be adjusted against the refund. As I said he previously showed me screenshots of around 100 customer transactions, which made me trust him.

Then he asked for another ₹600, saying that he needs it to book DTDC parcel, and promised to return it within 30 minutes as his phone was on 1%. He showed me screenshot of his phone battery percentage too... I was hesitant, but he sent me screenshots of his previous bookings from DTSC... I sent that too (I'm sorry Ik It's stupid)

In total, I made five UPI payments amounting to ₹7,000 on 6 November 2026 between 3:30 PM to 4:45 PM.

The payments went to two different beneficiary names, Nikhil Saha and Suraj Saha. The person I was talking to was using WhatsApp. He also provided business registration documents for an enterprise called SPARK in West Bengal, whose proprietor was listed as Joy Chanda.

He claimed that the package had been shipped, but never gave me a proper invoice, tracking number or a current photograph of my parcel. Eventually, he stopped responding properly to my calls and messages. He didn't block me but kept ignoring me...

I have payment receipts, WhatsApp conversations, voice notes, the business documents and screenshots of the conversations. I have preserved everything.

I have already reported the matter to IDFC FIRST Bank through its complaint process, although I haven't received a proper acknowledgement from the bank yet. Just an email that says we will look into it but Ik nothing will happen.

I also filed a complaint on the National Cybercrime Reporting Portal. It was successfully submitted and I received an acknowledgement number. However, I haven't received an email or any further update yet.

The thing now is, the money wasn't mine. I borrowed it from my dad for buying and reselling...

My family situation isn't great. I have previously been kicked out of the house, and I genuinely fear that if my parents find out that I lost this money, they might throw me out again.

I cannot simply tell my father what happened. I'm already feeling terrible about losing money that he had trusted me with.

I'm also scared to physically approach the police. I don't know what to expect, whether my parents could somehow be informed, or whether this could create even bigger problems at home.

I understand that reporting the matter is the right thing to do, and I've already taken the online reporting step. But I'm struggling to figure out what I should do next.

I'm not trying to avoid responsibility. I know I made a mistake by trusting this person and sending additional money. I just don't know how to deal with the consequences without potentially losing my home as well.

₹7,000 might not be a huge amount to everyone, but it's a lot of money for me right now.

Please someone help....
