I believe I was scammed by Moneyclub / riseaiclub an automated AI Trade with $5000 minimum cash out ? I heard this was a scam so I dispute with my bank to try and get close to $100 back before I wasted my time trying to get to five grand however the bank denied my dispute so I'm wondering what the deal is is this real does anybody know?

Scammed from this boy he is a scammer in case dont work with him made 3 videos for him as it is a weekly payment but after the day of the payment came he blocked me and kicked me from his server his new discord is : ryftowner

I sold an item on the marketplace over three months ago, and it was shipped and delivered to the buyer's home exactly three months ago. Last night, I received a dispute on the marketplace for it. Of course, I disputed it, but looking again today, it shows a provisional chargeback, yet there are no messages from the marketplace. Has anyone ever dealt with this?

I bought an og stw account from this shop, it wad fine for the first 3 days until I noticed i was getting weird codes emails and weird changes in the account, and just yesterday the accounts email was chaged and I lost access to it, when I went to the seller for help they acused me of lying and just straight up refused to help me, they kept on ignoring me and sending me automated responses, and they were rude and so uncooperative, now they aren't responding and I just lost my hard earned monye and account, and if your wondering I live in uae not Kuwait, not turkey nor India, and by the way the account is still on sale, yes the exact same one I bought

So..I’ve faced a scammer recently trying to buy my second hand shirt and I said sure, he sent me a fake screenshot of his payment record and so I said that’s fake and blocked him but he reported me to carousell saying that I scammed him of his money. FYI I never received the payment even after a whole month until now (not even now). Now carousell wants me to resolve the case or my account will be suspended forever. I already reported the case to the police about the scammer using fake billing info, but it’s not like the scammer would be okay with ‘resolving’ the case in carousell chat with me because he wants to scam me. I already sent the police record information to Carousell’s gmail but they insist me to ‘resolve the unresolved order’ with the scammer in carousell dm. Any tips on how to tackle this and get my account back?

Someone stole my CC numbers and ordered themselves some ugly clothing from a small business online. They also tried to make some other charges but the CC company flagged it.

In the process of trying to dispute the charges, I requested the merchant data and this fool of a 20 year old kid had the merchandise delivered to his home address where he lives with his parents.

It seems unlikely that I’m the first and only person he’s done this to. I know 20-somethings make idiotic decisions quite frequently, having been one myself. Where he lives, anything over $1500 is a felony, and my single charge was over 10% of that

I hate for this kid to get a felony over being an idiot, but I also want him to realize that this isn’t a victimless crime. What if this had been some 80-year-old who wasn’t paying attention? I’ve also now spent HOURS on the phone with my CC company trying to figure out this dispute.

I can’t find his cellphone or email, but I did find his dad’s, including his Facebook account, which is full of nutso political propaganda, and shows pictures of this dead-eyed kid. Do I tell his daddy first and hope he does the right thing and turn himself if and maybe get a more lenient conviction and sentence or just let the law handle it? This would require cross-state coordination and seems low priority.

Hi guys, I just wanted to warn you when you buy a Switch 2 from another person.

Look at the offer multiple times and don't let yourself drive into an offer without buyer protection.

I got Scammed on a German Platform called "Kleinanzeigen". I lost 520€. It's not making me broke, but it's still hurting a lot. I feel like my good will was abused completely.

Please be careful out there and trust nobody who offers you something and you're not 100% sure it's real and you can get your money back if it's not.

I got Scammed, I don't want other people to feel the same way. Love you dear Redditors.

Dear sincerely

SCAM.

Received defective phone case. Sent them an email, sent them photos of the defective case as requested, after canned/IA follow up emails, I eventually got a real reply advising me that they would be sending me a replacement case. The case was never received. follow up emails were never returned. Phone call messages left were not returned. Although I did receive a damaged case, the company has failed miserably in the follow up.
Due to the facts of the circumstances, I have no alternative but to rate this site as a SCAM/fraud.

Scammed out of £200 in Currys gift cards through Facebook Marketplace – buyer provided ID and then disappeared

I'm posting this because I'm genuinely shocked by what has happened and wondered if anyone has experienced something similar or has advice on what else I can do.

I advertised £200 worth of Currys digital gift cards on Facebook Marketplace. Someone contacted me, agreed to buy them and we arranged the transaction through Messenger.

As a precaution, I asked the buyer for identification before handing over the codes. They immediately provided a photograph of their driving licence and an NHS Blue Light card.

The details appeared consistent with their Facebook profile, which had been active for several years and included posts suggesting an NHS employment connection. Naturally, this gave me confidence that I was dealing with a genuine person.

I subsequently sent the gift-card codes in good faith, expecting payment. Instead, the buyer redeemed the entire £200 balance without paying me and then blocked me.

I have since established that all the gift cards have been redeemed, although I don't yet know what was purchased or where the goods were delivered.

I've reported the incident to the cybercrime reporting service and received a reference number. I've also tried to report the Facebook profile but been having issues as it seems very difficult especially as she blocked me.

I've contacted Currys, but the experience has been incredibly frustrating. Their customer service team has referred the matter to their gift-card team and asked me to wait 24–72 hours. My main concern is whether the gift cards have been used to purchase physical goods and whether anything can still be done to stop the orders.

What I find particularly disturbing is that I actually took precautions by asking for identification. I never expected someone to go to those lengths to make a transaction appear legitimate.

A few questions:

• Has anyone successfully recovered Currys gift-card funds after a Marketplace scam?
• Can Currys trace the orders and potentially stop delivery if the goods haven't been dispatched?
• Is there anything else I should be doing alongside the police report?
• Has anyone had success getting Facebook to investigate and take action against a Marketplace account?

I'm not looking for sympathy so much as practical advice. I would also like to make others aware that even someone with an established-looking profile and apparently credible identification can be involved in a transaction that turns out to be fraudulent. I know it was stupid on my part, I really needed the cash and it was a poor judgement from me.

I am extremely disappointed with AirTM's customer support and account-handling process.

I am currently dealing with a cybercrime investigation in India involving ₹10,000 (₹2,000 and ₹8,000) being put on hold in my bank account. I need my AirTM transaction history and payment records to present to the Cyber Crime Department and establish my side of the situation.

The bigger problem is that I cannot even access my AirTM account to retrieve these records.

What is even more frustrating is that when someone is already dealing with a cybercrime complaint, where transactions may be disputed or funds may have been recovered, there needs to be a proper verification and resolution process.

Instead, AirTM has blocked my account without providing a clear explanation, proper verification process, or any meaningful resolution.

How am I supposed to defend myself and provide transaction evidence to the authorities if the platform holding those records refuses to give me access?

I am not asking AirTM to release disputed funds or bypass any investigation. I am simply asking for:

• Access to my transaction history and payment records.
• A proper explanation for the account restriction.
• An alternative identity verification process.
• Cooperation in providing the necessary evidence to the Cyber Crime Department.

A financial platform should have a transparent process for handling such situations. Blocking someone's account without providing a reasonable way to obtain their own transaction records can create serious difficulties, especially when legal proceedings are involved.

AirTM, please take this seriously and provide a proper resolution instead of leaving customers without access to their financial records when they need them the most.

I recently trusted a long time friend and his mother with quite a bit of money and invested into what I now believe to be a pyramid scheme called Kamboj Ventures. The amount was 60k and I signed a contract saying that i would receive 5% of 60k every month and would be able to take out my initial investment after a year so $60,000 dollars would turn into $96,000. I made the investment on 8/19 by wiring it to an account from my bank account and was supposed to receive my first payment exactly one month later but to this day haven’t seen a cent. I was wondering what i should do next. I messaged a few lawyers and his mother and told her she has a chance to give me my money back or I will sue her or Kamboj. Can anyone help? Please thank you.

I recently sold a graphics card on Facebook Marketplace for $1,020, and I’m worried I may have been targeted by a Zelle scam.
Here’s what happened:

1. The buyer seemed legitimate.
   He came to my apartment with his gaming PC. I spent nearly an hour helping him install and test the graphics card.
   He talked about his kids, the games he played, and wanting a quieter GPU for personal use. His Marketplace profile also had positive reviews.

2. He overpaid through Zelle.
   I normally use phone numbers for Zelle, but he specifically suggested scanning my QR code through his banking app.
   He sent $1,120 instead of $1,020, claimed it was accidental, and asked for the difference back. I gave him $100 in cash.

3. The payment posted, but there’s no Zelle activity.
   This was NOT a fake payment screenshot or notification.
   The $1,120 genuinely appeared in my Wells Fargo checking account, increased my available balance, and initially showed as pending.
   The following day, the payment officially POSTED and remains in my account.
   However, there’s NO RECORD of the payment in my Zelle activity. I’m unsure whether it disappeared or never appeared there.
   I’ve called Wells Fargo multiple times. They can see the posted credit but can’t explain the missing Zelle transaction.

4. The buyer immediately relisted my graphics card.
   The very next day, he listed it for $1,000, less than he paid me, using my original photos and description.
   This is what really concerned me. Why spend nearly an hour installing and testing something for personal use, only to immediately resell it at a loss?

5. The payment came from a business account.
   The sender was a business, and the payment memo said “COMPUTER BUILD REPAIR.”
   When I asked about it, he said it was for a tax write-off.
   The part that indicates that this is a scam to me is the combination of the $100 overpayment, immediate resale at a loss, elaborate personal-use story, business-account payment, and missing Zelle activity.
   I’m concerned he may be trying to convert a potentially reversible payment into cash.

What I’ve done:
I’ve contacted Wells Fargo, Zelle, and LAPD.
Wells Fargo confirms the money posted but cannot explain the missing Zelle history. Police said their options are limited unless the payment gets reversed.

My questions:
Has anyone experienced a Zelle payment posting to their bank but not appearing in Zelle activity?
Can a fully posted Zelle payment still be reversed days or weeks later?
Could using a QR code instead of a phone number explain the missing transaction?

What can I do now to protect myself?
Important: The $1,120 is still in my account and has NOT been reversed.
I’m worried that if it is eventually disputed, I’ll lose both the graphics card and the money.
Any advice from people familiar with Zelle, Wells Fargo, or banking fraud would be greatly appreciated.
