[US] Elaborate Food Scam? Thaigrocer.co

Hello, recently searching for a specialty snack I wanted that was specifically only in china (chocolate wafer Oreo straws) and came across through googles SEO content thaigrocer.co and thinking it was legit bought 97$ worth of these snacks to be shipped. After placing my order on my card it quickly changed names to “Beautybuddy” after being named something related to thaigrocer, and on top of that I have received no shipping information, confirmation, or update from the order.

​ I deposited 1004 RUB into Eva Casino (mirror domain: hymna1-ewa38.com). I won 40,000 RUB without using any bonus. I requested a withdrawal of the full amount (40,000 RUB).

[US] The caller knew my name, but told me not to contact my bank directly.

I received a call from someone telling me there had been a suspicious transaction on one of my accounts. They knew my name already, so the call at first sounded pretty credible. They then told me not to contact my bank while the case was under investigation. They told me to stay on the phone, saying that calling my bank could interfere with the investigation. It looked weird, so I hung up the phone and did not give them any passwords, verification codes or payment information. I also called my b

[US] Hours after applying to Popeyes I got these texts. I cant tell if it’s a scammer or an unprofessional manager

I applied to two Popeyes locations near me. About two hours later, I got a text saying they were reaching out from Popeyes and saw my application, wanting to know if i could work weekends and weekdays. I told them I could and they asked if I could start tomorrow. I said no but gave them the days I could work that week and they asked if I could start at 4:00 on Wednesday and gave me a loose dress code. I asked which building it was and the building they gave me was one that I had applied to

FTC calling me about another phone number under my name from China

I recently got a call from a number claiming to be the FTC. They mentioned that another phone number was registered under my name in China last week in an airport they kept questioning if that was me and I said no. (this was before I knew it was a scam). They said the number that was registered under my name was used to send/call Chinese Americans to scam them. I told him that it was not me, and they mentioned that if they didn’t know it was me that they would cancel my phone number and my credi

Got a scam call. Concerned about what to do next

I received a call from someone pretending to be a cop and attempting to run a jury summons scam on me. I was thrown for a few minutes by the guy claiming to be a cop, and saying there was a warrant for my address for missing jury duty. I have an area code from a different state than I live in, but he knew my name and claimed to be law enforcement in the state where I live. He scared me bad enough that it took a few minutes to figure out that he was fake. I obviously didn’t give him any money, bu

Possible Whatsapp scam?

Hello! I'm not sure if this is the right place to post this, but I've never had something like this happen before, so I just wanted to get some opinions. So I've been using WhatsApp to talk to my friends, and some random number from Turkey messaged me in Russian? The messages he sent go like this: -Брат -Где вы -Ждём тебя -Я Ата I blocked the person without responding or doing anything. They also called first, then texted. I blocked him there too. It was the middle of the night, and I got scared

[US] Walmart Account Scam?

I rarely shop at Walmart and did not have a Walmart account. I got an email that I created an account and ordered an air mattress to be delivered to Texas. I do not live in Texas. The account is associated with the name “Dami.” I don’t know anybody with that name. I checked my bank accounts and don’t see any charges I don’t recognize. My email address is my first and last name. My last name is very unique so this would not just be a typo. I tried to get into the account but it has two f

U.S. An evite can be a scam to steal your passwords. papierssshare.net - do not visit this site.

I received what looked like an evite from a family member, in an SMS message. At first glance it looked like it was an evite from paperlessshare. net . I could see a small thumbnail but it was requesting the passwords to my gmail, then yahoo email accounts. It kept asking for more accounts to verify, saying my passwords were incorrect. Then I noticed the spelling - paperiessshare .net with an i, not an l. **DO NOT** go to this website, it will start asking immediately for your passwords. I cont

[US] Two different scammers from the same Facebook buying and selling group using similar Zelle scams

This is a local buy and sell group. Both are business accounts that contacted me through comments. Both were (weirdly) keen on buying multiple stuff and asked to pay through Zelle/Venmo ahead of time. Both had a third party picking up the items. They kept asking for an email and said an account upgrade was required for their payments to go through. One offered to contact Zelle business support for my behave and said the call did not go through on my end (I had unknown call filtering). One

[US] Classic "Playtest My Game" Discord Scam Attempt (Malware / Session Stealer)

Got an unsolicited friend request on Discord from someone claiming to recruit playtesters for a "survival strategy game." This is a very common scam where they ask you to download a zip file or executable containing malware (usually a token logger or session stealer) disguised as a game. Once you run it, they hijack your account and auto-message your friend list to spread the link further. I watch enough EmKay reading r/scams posts to spot the overly formal script immediately, so I called

They claimed my girlfriend messaged them on Instagram about setting up a 3 way, and to call a different number to get more details??

Legitimate businesses will not "remind" or "notify" you of an expensive purchase!

Just a heads up here - if you get a phone call or text message saying something like "you have authorized a purchase of an Apple IPhone 17 for $1399.99" or something else expensive, just remember, it's 100% a scam. Legitimate businesses (Apple, Amazon, Walmart, BestBuy, etc..) will not call to "remind" or "notify" you of an expensive purchase you've recently made. That is only the job of your bank or credit card companys fraud department. That being said, it's not terribly uncommon to get a tex

[US] Does something like scam insurance exist?

Maybe this is a stupid question / idea. I know some of the identity protection companies offer a kind of identity theft protection. Does anyone offer scam insurance? Would that even be possible? Or maybe it wouldn’t even work because nobody thinks they are going to be scammed so nobody would they buy scam insurance. Reading about older people losing their life savings on some scam, it seems to me that there could be an opportunity for insurance companies to offer scam insurance which would cover
