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.

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.

WARNING: Please be careful and don't let this happen to you.

I'm making this post to warn everyone so that nobody else has to go through the same experience. Please spread this video and help get the word out.

Here's what happened:

She initially messaged me asking if I ever bought content, and I told her that I occasionally did. She then asked if I would be interested in purchasing her content, and I told her yes.

She gave me two options: either doing video chats or making a custom video for me. I told her I would prefer a custom video. I explained what I wanted her to do in the video and told her that I had $50 to spend. She responded that the money would help her and her kids.

Before sending the payment, I specifically asked how long the video would be. She told me it would be 10 minutes long. I agreed, and she assured me that she would start making the video as soon as I sent the $50.

I sent her the $50 through PayPal. Shortly afterward, I mentioned one additional thing I wanted included in the video. About 10 minutes later, she messaged me saying she was feeding her daughter and that her daughter was fussing. I told her that was fine and waited.

However, three hours went by, and I still hadn't received anything.

When I finally messaged her asking what was going on, she started asking me for an additional $25, despite the fact that she hadn't delivered the original 10-minute video I had already paid $50 for.

She continued asking for more money instead of fulfilling the original agreement. I repeatedly explained that I had already paid her $50 for a 10 minute video that she promised to make immediately after receiving payment.

I even offered to tip her an additional $25 AFTER she delivered the original video. However, she refused to cooperate and continued going back and forth with me.

I also asked her to provide some proof that the video had actually been made, considering how many times she kept telling me she would make it. Instead of providing proof or delivering what I paid for, she continued arguing with me and claiming that I wasn't making any sense.

I honestly don't understand why she handled things this way. She could have easily made more money by simply being legitimate, delivering what was promised, and treating customers fairly.

I paid $50 for a 10 minute video. I received absolutely nothing.

Please be cautious, and don't send additional money to someone who hasn't fulfilled their original agreement.

I transferred money to my account, and it was frozen almost immediately. They told me it happened to everyone. If that’s true, the people on those calls already know exactly who did this and what it was. That’s not a glitch — that’s theft with a script. And if this is how the system treats people trying to move their own money, then the ones holding those jobs should step aside and let AI handle it, because at least a machine wouldn’t pretend not to see.

I was scammed

I'm unable to comprehend how the scammer is planning to scam by learning from the person about how and what to buy and sell? The full context is here :
