[US] I think my elderly neighbor might be involved in a census scam

I have a lovely older (mid 70's) neighbor (I'll call her "Judy") that I've become really fond of and she's kind of like a second mom now that my own mom has passed away. Judy was telling me about having to fill out some sort of census and asked if I had sent mine in yet. I told her I had never gotten one but that if I had, I probably would've just thrown it in the trash. That's when Judy told me that she had called the number on the census and asked if she really had to fill it out and they sa

Aunt is involved in a Romance Scam and she has become a money mule. Need advice!!

My aunt is being scammed and she won’t listen to me that it’s a scam and she is in really deep. A couple of months ago this guy contacted her and said he was from the Department of Health and Human Services. He told her there was a grant program where she could get $200,000 if she just paid $15,000. Thankfully, she couldn’t come up with that money but she was working and sending her whole paychecks on Apple gift cards to this guy. She has given him her social security number and everything about

On Saturday, I was told that I was selected and I was sent a link to fill out the onboarding process. I didn’t do any of that and just deleted the signal app and removed the emails from my email.

Voicemail from Robocaller recapping my own text threads?

Hi all, As title states, woke up to a very weird voicemail this morning. It was a male voice asking about one of my close friends and her now ex boyfriend getting back together. Mind you, the only time this was discussed was in a text thread with my other friend. This information would’ve never been said or seen anywhere else. I reverse googled the number and it said it was a robocaller number. This has me a bit worried, how did someone / something get my personal text threads, analyze them and

[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

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
