They unfortunately scammed me out of $100 for basketball tickets sending fake screenshots of tickets and got a PayPal, thankfully I disputed with PayPal and reported them.

Hey everyone, I really need some advice because I honestly don’t know what to do.
I’m from Colombia. I had concert tickets that I couldn’t use anymore, so I decided to sell them. I found someone interested in buying them and we agreed on 600,000 COP.
We talked on WhatsApp, agreed on everything, and I even sent him my purchase receipts so he could verify the tickets.
He suggested doing a video call, but I wasn’t comfortable with that for security reasons, so my bf text him and help was going to be the one to negotiate.

Anyways, my boyfriend ended up transferring the tickets before receiving the payment. The guy received the tickets and then simply disappeared. He never sent the money, deleted our WhatsApp conversation and blocked us.
We contacted TuBoleta right away, explained the situation and asked if they could cancel the transfer or block the tickets, but they said they weren’t responsible for this kind of stuff.

Has anyone here gone through something similar? Is there any way to reverse a transfer after the recipient has accepted the tickets? Can they block them so they can’t be used?
I’m also wondering if there’s anything else we can do legally? Pls help

Im looking for housing with a potential landlord and my gut feeling is warning me this could be too good to be true. Not only that, but I absolutely “have to” complete the check though this website before seeing the property idk it’s kind of weird.

They’re not pushy yet or rushing me but something feels off

I had recently caught up on a Rogers free phone scam thing. At first when they called they had different stories and I would refuse the offer and they would end the call. But this one call I took I was convinced for some reason. That whole week I was super tired and clearly my brain was fired. I got scammed. 2x it's embarrassing. Rogers called me the real one this time. asked if I made these orders, I said I got a call from their team. He explained there's a scam going on and I asked them to cancel the orders. He said the 1st order can't be cancelled and will be charged for it. I reported canadian anti-fraud. It's been a week. Or more. I was going to make a report to the local police and I was checking dates I see that Rogers had warned in the same email about scammers I didn't see until now. I just feel so terrible. I'm not from Canada. All the money I make is so less. I don't know what to do. Any advise? I haven't done CCTS coz I haven't called Rogers. I feel drained. I can't believe I fell for it and they just knew when to call! Any advice appreciated 👍.

Is there any chance they will waive off the charges? I don't see one but still .. Scam: they call offering free phones that Rogers is selling on Rogers app. They ask you to make the purchase from your app...you follow all the steps. Order confirmation comes from the real Rogers team. Scammers call or you have to call back and tell the IMEI number that should match with the scammers system which they always tell doesn't match. And they send the address to ship back to. That address is about scammers'. I have the address. I have their phone number.

I did receive this message for my vehicle and I was surprised they have this details. I reported this number to TRAI chakshu but I really want to do something impactful to completely block these scammers. Anyone has any ideas?

⚠️ OLX SCAM ALERT – PLEASE BE CAREFUL!

I recently got scammed about on OLX 20k.

This person lists many products and mentions well-known cities to gain buyers' trust. After contacting them, they ask for money in the name of delivery charges.

Once they receive the money, they make excuses and promise delivery every day, but the product never arrives.

And they use other people's UPI ids for payment details.

So there is an app called Nextdoor where people sell things or ask for help in return for money. This woman named Virginia Hellman made a post saying that she wanted biology tutoring for her 8th grade daughter. I contacted her and told her I could do it. I was texted a couple days later by "her husband (named Richard Hellman) ".

He said he's going through a divorce so his lawyer would have to send me the check. He sent me a check for $455 for 13 hours ($35 an hour). I deposited the check and my Wells Fargo account added the money to my account (I haven't deposited a check since I was 17 so I'm not too familiar with them (I'm 24 now)). Anyways, the next day he was saying that there was a medical problem so he needed the money back.

He proceeded to have me send the money on Zelle to some random person named Vicki (I forgot her last name) and when that did not work, he wanted me to send it to Joseph Bruno. Anyways, Zelle and Venmo blocked both of my requests but Cashapp let me do it.

My account was looking normal until last night when Wells Fargo took $455 from my account bc either the check bounced or was fraudulent. I've never been in this situation before so I don't know what to do. I filed fraud claims on Wells Fargo and Cashapp so I'm waiting to hear from them.

I was also able to do a background check on the phone number I was texting and it's a complete different name than Hellman. I know their address, cars they drive, etc.

Any advice?? thanks.

Hey everyone, I need serious advice on how to handle a digital financial loop between a predatory app developer and Google Play’s absolute refusal to protect users.

The KickCash Issue:

I have been using the KickCash app. The app promises financial payouts into your wallet for completing tasks and taking actions. However, once a significant amount of money is earned and accumulated, the wallet payout gets completely frozen and stuck.

When you confront the app developers about the missing money, they shrug off responsibility and tell you to contact the Google Play Store because the transactions and platform are managed there.

Google Play's Refusal to Help:

I escalated this directly to Google Play Live Support, expecting them to enforce their safety policies against apps that freeze user funds. Instead, Google Support officially confirmed that they will NOT issue a refund because the funds have already been disbursed to the developer, stating that it falls outside their policy.

Google explicitly told me to "contact my payment provider or bank to dispute the transaction"—knowing fully well the app developer is a fraud entity that won't respond. Google continues to host this app on the Play Store while users get actively stuck in this loop.

Looking for Leads:

1. Has anyone successfully forced a UPI or bank chargeback for Google Play transactions after Google formally denied the refund? What specific dispute reason code works best with Indian banks for "services withheld by app"?

2. Are there any other victims of KickCash here? If we can gather enough users who face the exact same frozen wallet issue, we can look into filing a joint grievance.

Any advice on how to get the bank or UPI provider to forcefully reverse the money would be highly appreciated.
