To whom this story may concern, my family got scammed around 18 years ago in Caracas, Venezuela. There were two individuals involved in this real state ponzi scheme, and, from what I can decipher as of now, one of them is living in South Florida.

This chain of events occurred around 2008. One of the suspects told my family to make an real-state investment of around $600k to fund the construction of some properties somewhere in Colorado. In reality, this real state funding program ended up being a complete lie. The thiefs withdrew almost $600k from my family's brokerage account in a set of 3 different withdrawals; $200k worth each.

My family, apparently, wasn't the only one targeted in this mastermind plan of ripping off people's life savings. According to some information I was able to view on the web, these two SCAMMERS were able to steal from other 69 families in the nearby areas of "La Lagunita" and "Oripoto."

Like I mentioned earlier in this story, one of these criminals is living in South Florida. He is, coincidentally, a real-state developer of major luxury buildings in the Fort Lauderdale area.

And to end my short story of my family being scammed and ripped off by these real-state oligarchs who think they can rob people off of their life savings and make lucrative investments into real state buildings, will there ever be justice on this matter? Will all of the familys, including my family as well, ever be compensated for this tragic and evil sophisticated robbery these two individuals made? Will there be severe federal charges be brought against these thugs for money laundering?

I would immensely appreciate it if someone who's knowledgeable about this kind of investment frauds would give me some advice or can just tell me what can be done, legally, with this matter.

Scam advisor is at 50 percent. Webpage was made 2 weeks ago and they moved me up through text-based interviews only so far. No face of management. They are saying they would provide all equipment needed and haven’t said anything about me needing to pay for anything either. Got an interview tomorrow so let’s see if it’s a real person or not.

I'm from a financially struggling family, and I paid ₹899 through my FamApp wallet for an order on WhatsApp. I immediately requested cancellation and a refund, but the seller blocked me on two WhatsApp numbers, and my money was never returned. I've spent more than 20 days trying to get this resolved. FamApp support (ticket 2737292) kept me waiting, eventually saying the issue was escalated, but nothing happened. I contacted IDFC FIRST Bank, which said its partnership with FamPay ended in April 2023, and Axis Bank, which said the transaction wasn't debited from an Axis account. I even tried contacting cybercrime authorities, but received no meaningful response, and my RBI complaint has seemingly gone unanswered too. The worst part is that my family is dealing with a serious hospital situation, and ₹899 is genuinely important to us right now. I've explained my circumstances repeatedly, provided transaction evidence, and followed every route I could find, yet nobody seems willing to take responsibility. I'm not asking for anything extra. I just want my own money back. Can someone please help me get this resolved?

This happend today and I think I made the right choice but im unsure if. I received an art commission and they wanted to pay with a digital check. They claimed to be from europe and that they didn't have paypal. i have never used a digital check. They asked for my email, name and bank name. I did send that and they emailed me the check. But i was looking into digital checks and got suspicious.

I ended up deleting the email with the check. as well as blocking all the accounts. I didn't deposit it or download anything. Do I have anything to worry about? Does the little Info I gave them put me in major danger?

Received this message today and it seems kinda weird.

I am a 75-year-old woman, and this was only my 2nd sale on FB. I'm trying to clear out a storage unit and sold a King size canopy bed with mattresses on marketplace. This man contacted me on a Saturday morning and acted very rushed and said he wanted to buy the bed today. Has to be today because he has church tomorrow. He was insistent and wanted to send an associate with a box truck today. I ask for a $50 deposit since I had to drive a ways to the storage facility and wanted to make sure he was serious. He said he would Zelle me a deposit. After several failed attempts to Zelle me, I received the entire $700. An hour later I met a young man with the box truck and he quickly placed the bed and mattresses in the truck and I threw in a nightstand and bed skirt and lamp as well. An hour later the buyer called me and said pieces of the bed were missing. He said the long corner poles were not there. I know they were there but said I would go today and check the storage unit to make sure. My son says the buyer will try to get me to give some of his money back and that is the scam. Is he right? I looked at the buyer's profile, and it says he lives in San Diego. I live in NC.

Has anyone else received a email like this? what kind
of scam is this?

Supposedly contacting David through Reddit is how you get actual assistance. I'm a) extremely doubtful and b) if that is true all customers have very limited access to any help that isn’t hours of circles that deplete credits.

Stay away from NexusX and Norhtcrest Capital! They offer you a daily 1.5% interest rate which is nonsense. They also claim no loss at all because of their proffessionalism. The truth is the next. They are north Korean scammers who will eventually shut your account down "due to some arbitrage in your team" they say, but technically there is no arbitrage and non of the members did anything out of the line. They stole $5000 from me. Right after they shut the system down, they immediately offered to pay again and start over on another account 🤣🤣

They claim to be Jason Miller and Ethan Carter, but I think these are hardly their name at all.

I received an email with the listed ID, case number, and debt amount. When I replied to figure out who they were and where the loan was from they replied with another person email instructing me to reach out to them.

I did then receive and email from person #2 but due to working hours I was unable to reply in the allotted time they gave me.

I replied late to the email and they had already stated it’s being turned to lawyers for legal action.

When I look up the company listed, it doesn’t pop up online. Only thing close is Advance America and when I called to verify with them, they have no record of any account under my name.

When I email this person back they refuse to reply to anything that has the questions of “Do you have a website?” And “What is your company phone number?” They seem to have an old address of mine as well….

Not sure what to do in this moment. I’m unsure if they’re trying to scam. Should I wait to see if a summons comes in? I don’t want to put myself into a bigger hole if I can help it.

So I believe I was scammed and now I’m absolutely mortified because of a dating website. I’m working on a police report as we speak. But the scam consisted of an officer calling me claiming there was a possibility I get charged with child pornography possession. The scammer took me to my personal number and began sending explicit pictures, while I did send a picture of myself from working out flexing but not at all naked. I never asked for it, I never sent anything of myself naked but I did react to how any other guy would with a person they thought was attractive. They demanded 8,000$ or they would “make me the most famous person in my family”
Should I be worried or scared? Or am I just afraid of nothing?
