My account got hacked

A guy who was most likely a scammer from Nigeria who impersonated my friend hacked into my account and sent this message to my friends’ messages. If you or your friends had gotten this message then come forward. My friend who was impersonated was my online friend since I’ve been in middle school and also sent the same picture to one of the people I know online from r/gonewildaudio and I will not say their names or accounts for safety and privacy reasons but please don’t fall for scams and

Pt.2 Accidental Zelle payment

**click on the images to read the full text** Update to a previous post I made on here Some back story - I sold some furniture maybe 6 months ago off facebook marketplace. The total was $600 and the man came to my house and paid via Zelle. Fast forward to last month I got a text from the guy saying he accidentally sent me via Zelle $1,200. He claims it was supposed to be sent to someone else but he accidentally sent it to me instead because of having my info previously for the prior tra

Google now allows scams in your mailbox, sponsored

These fake Temu order updates started appearing in my Promotions. I do not use Temu, I have never ordered anything from Temu, never had an account, never even went to their website. Yet these misleading sponsored-label ads masking as legit order updates are pushed to me, and when I report them for the clear scam that they are, apparently they are not breaking any rules?!? Has anyone come across this before? I’m definitely not opening these to figure out if it’s a phishing scam or just th

This was either the best scam I’ve ever seen or FedEx has terrible company policies

I got a call from a random +1(800) number, and when you google it it comes up as FedEx fraud. Picked it up and was hit with the typical “scam call center vibe”. You know the kind, where you can hear people talking in the background and they all use super terrible $10 microphones so you can barely understand what they’re saying. They say they are from FedEx and they attempted delivery of a package, and need me to confirm some info. I’m immediately on guard, because I was almost 100% sure it was a

[US] Possible check scam?

Hey all, so in short I got a couple of these with small amounts ranging from $80-$180. I did work with Maggiano's Little Italy a couple months back & admittedly wasn't always the best at picking up my checks (besides the point right now). Is this a scam? I stupidly sent one to the email listed with the last 4 digits of my SSN & I'm really worried. It has my correct address & email address, as well as my phone number too, so if anyone can confirm if this is legit or a scam, it would be grea

Stolen Credit Card Info- Help me help my mother

I need to know what I need to do to secure my mother's credit card info. She's had her card info stolen/used fraudulently about 5 different times now in the past couple years (and I'm starting to question whether she should be allowed to have them at all at this point). The info seems like it must be getting stolen online because the charges always come from Toronto and New York, while we live on the opposite coast in Vancouver. Unless skimmers harvest info and sell/distribute it? I don't know h

A Snapchat account was created without my permission

Yesterday, I got two emails from Snapchat asking me to verify my email address, but I was too scared to do anything about them, so I just ignored them. Then I got another email this morning, and about an hour after the one telling me to verify my email, I got a message saying “Welcome to Snapchat”—it looks like an account was created for me without my permission. Even though the sender looks like it’s from the official Snapchat account, it still scares me. I’ve never used Snapchat before, so I’m

[US] A friend got 3 emails from supposedly Robinhood

Hello. A friend got 3 emails from Robinhood stating that someone in Russia logged into their account. The email address they sent this with ended with Robinhood.com. Nothing looked fishy with it. However, the grammar seems off and the number they provided just plays scammy music like the typical scam calls play with the horrible elevator music that sounds staticky. I feel this is a scam which he would be a lot happier if it is than his account actually being hacked from some dude in Russia

Just got scammed while sending my CLAT books

Title: Pretty sure I just got scammed while selling my CLAT modules — what should I do next? I need some real advice because this situation is getting ridiculous. I was selling my CLAT modules and this person reached out acting completely genuine. They said they’d pay ₹1500 first and the remaining ₹5000 after receiving the books. I didn’t like that idea, but they hit me with the classic “I trusted you first, you should trust me too” and sent ₹1500 upfront. We clearly agreed that the remaining am

[UK] AnyDesk phone scam - what information would they have acquired?

A friend of mine got scammed by someone posing as a member of the fraud team at Amazon. They got him to download AnyDesk and they probably had control for a good hour before I found out and told him it was a scam and uninstalled the app. We’ve done all the usual safety precautions- changed passwords and cancelled cards. Is there anything I could have missed on the phone to keep it safe? Should I have changed the phone pin? What information would they have gathered? It appeared as though the sca

[US] I have been trying to support a Palestinian family over this past year that I am wary may be a scam

Platform: Instagram Hi all, so I’ve been promoting a campaign for a Palestinian family over this past year that I initially had no reason to believe was any kind of scam. Their account has been verified through a credible organization and I’ve spoken with the actual campaign organizer who has only ever been a genuinely kindhearted and caring person based on our interactions. This has been ongoing for about a year and I didn’t even really consider that this could be a scam (and I’m still really n

Potential scam on discord?

Hey y'all! Just had a convo with some random person on discord, started of quite chill, exchanged some poetry. Pretty alright. Then they wanted me to introduce myself, stated my first name age and country, not much info to go on really. So I told them and then they went crazy bananas and said "wait I know you, I know you". I've never heard of this person before or came in contact with them what so ever before so I freaked out and blocked immediately before they finished. Would this be a setup

I have not been asked for money, or any personal info that screams scam, but I have just been asked for the following info so my application to join can be reviewed by the people in charge along with all of

[US] Klyvera Scam - klyvera.com - Scammed buying a headrest

Klyvera Scam I’ve been having some neck pain recently, and so I ordered a neck rest that my dad sent me a link to from a website called Klyvera. I did in fact get the neck rest. I was told that I was going to be billed by relzotech for this order. I ended up getting billed by three different scam companies (relzotech, tunohealth, and kelvoshop). Thankfully, my bank blocked all the charges, but I am mildly infuriated that I had to get a new debit card. Life goes on, but be careful where you
