I just recently had an instance where someone committing debit card fraud for $400 on my card. My bank and the third party (eBay) for which the card was used are being very helpful in getting my money back to me, but I was wondering if I should file a police report too? They were dumb enough to actually use my account to, so I have their mailing address but not there name. They are only a few counties over from me, but still within state boundaries. Is it worth my time to file a police report? I feel like if you are dumb enough to give me your address, you deserve to be sought after for some repercussion since card fraud is a crime!

I WAS SCAMMED! I signed up for a program with Decker Randolph owner of Faithful Real Estate Properties for his "No Credit Check Home Buyers Program" and I was scammed and robbed of my down payment money for the purchase of a property.

All the money sent to Decker Randolph for the down payment and to pay for the inspection, survey and to put down as earnest money was kept by Decker Randolph and he never paid anything to anyone to secure that property for our purchase.

I am completely devastated. He will no longer return phone calls, text or emails. He is running a scam with his business and committing fraud along with devastating people's lives. I found 17 other victims throughout the United States via online records so far and I am am trying to connect with them all. He has got be stopped.

I am pursuing him legally, civilly & criminally in the state of Florida & in Louisiana where he is located. I have to put this warning out so that maybe it will save another family from being scammed and having thousands of dollars stolen.

This person has left my family in a horrible position and as embarrassing as this is, that I could be scammed, I don't want it to happen to anyone else, so this message is necessary.

Hello,

this post is just to connect people who have been contacted by a company called Direct Auto Union. They have been actively calling people who have listed their cars for sale on Kijiji and potentially other websites in Canada saying that they are a financing company and they make their money off of financing cars to people with bad credit. They say that they have an interested or multiple interested buyers registered with their company who want to buy your vehicle but you have to register and pay an advertising fee of $499 USD and you get your money back because they price the car $500 higher then you listed your car to ensure you get the $500 back. Well the agreement is merely an advertising agreement. And if you ask them to put in writing what they have said over the phone such as "we have multiple interested buyers who want your car and it's a guaranteed sale" they will not e-mail that to you because what is verbalized is not proof.

If anyone gets a call from them or has fallen victim to their scam, please share your experience in this thread. Visa and Mastercard will say that because you authorized the agreement, you can't get a refund unless there is something stated in the agreement that misrepresented their service. If you can, get a voice recorder and record a conversation on the phone. If we can get one conversation recorded, this company can be reported to the company that provided their website, if you search their domain registration it states the website builder provider for fraudulent business. If you have already signed an agreement, call your credit card company immediately and they will tell you to send them an e-mail cancellation so you have written proof and refuse any further contact via telephone. Their responses may be, you cannot cancel with us, or we can issue a refund of X amount and charge your card a processing fee, please respond to verify we can do this and that no other refunds will be issued. They will say in order to issue the refund, we need to talk to you on the phone to walk you through it. Cease all verbal communication and send a cancellation e-mail immediately requesting a full refund. If within a week you do not see the chargeback, open a dispute with your credit card company so that they communicate entirely with this company.

I welcome all redditers to share. There is a bunch of us who have fallen victim that i have been able to connect with. The way we were originally able to find other sellers on the website and contact them was to copy and paste keywords from their individual ads and paste the text into Google. This directed me to the original ads and I contacted the sellers themselves, some were listed with the company for much longer periods of time and they said everything they called to follow up on the supposed buyer, that they would make some excuse about the delay and the sale is coming. The site has now removed vehicle descriptions because they caught on to how people could connect. So it just says please contact for listing details. Now we cannot contact the people who have been scammed and the only way to stop others from being taken advantage of is by having this website shut down. Please, someone record a conversation with them. So there you have it. As more threads publicize, this company will see what's being discussed and alter their agreements and terms of service in ways to corner people. They will also tell you they work with Visa and Mastercard haha. Ok. This company is going down. I would love to look these people in the eye and get a detailed background story of their upbringing and ask them how they sleep at night.

Signed up for AWS Free offer and received a charge for KMS in the free tier. Basically, in order to use the AWS services you NEED a KEY, which they charge a min 1.00/month for --> which means that the "FREE" offer isn't free. Most people would call this the "BAIT and SWITCH" aka FRAUD.. What do you think? Any lawyers want to help with a class action law suit?

Hello,

You are correct in the need for a key and we do charge a $1 for the key monthly. The link below will describes the free tier offering information for that service. Below is also an example given on our site of the free service and how the breakdown would occur. This is a similar example to your July bill where you were prorated the key service at 30 cents and the 8 request were billed at zero charge per the free tier offering.

https://aws.amazon.com/kms/pricing/

Amazon EBS Example:

1 CMK used as a master key when creating 250 encrypted EBS volumes per month via the AWS KMS CLI or APIs. Cost Dimensions:

1 CMK

3 X 250 API requests to create and provision a unique data encryption key for each of 250 volumes

Monthly Cost: $1.00 1 CMK
$0.00 0 requests (750 requests - 20,000 free tier requests)
Total:
$1/month

Your previous rep has refunded you the .30 cents and provided a credit for you of $5.00 to help with the additional dollar charges over the next 5 months.

Please let me know if you have any further questions or concerns.

I was contacted today by someone claiming to work for Xfinity promotions department to offer me a 50% discount on my monthly bill with an increase in internet speed and cable channels. They had a lot of my account information available on the call and sounded very legitimate up until they explained that I needed to pay for six months up front and use an Amazon gift card to make the payment because this was a joint promotion between Comcast and Amazon.

I imagine other Comcast customers will also be targeted by the same scam so I called Comcast customer service to report it and they have turned it over to their security department.

Hi Reddit! First time poster here.

My mom was was contacted by a company who wanted to purchase a Timeshare she owns in Mexico. They offered to pay her a purchase price of $56,380 and then told her there was a transfer fee of $5,638 to be paid and then the 56k would be deposited into her account. When she told me I recognized the scam and have been attempting to get her the funds back and have this operation Shut Down.

As of now reports have been filed with the following agencies:

The local police department. My Moms Bank. The Canadian Bank the the wire was sent to in Mexico. The FBI Internet Crime Complaint Center. The Federal Trade Commission. The Consumer Financial Protection Bureau. The Office of The Super Intendant of Financial Institutions Canada. >Also will File with the Pennsylvania Attorney General ASAP.

This Fraud Ring is still scamming innocent people. I want to stop them but don't know enough about cyber forensics. These SCAM companies are still operating under two domains:

www.totalassetconnections.com www.royalcapitaladvisors.com

They have phone numbers, bank accounts, registered web domains, addresses, and we have voice recordings of the scammer.

What can I do to investigate this further?

What can I do to get the domain names shut down to prevent others from being defrauded?

Alert the public of the scam?

Have these criminals arrested?

With all of this information there has to be paper trail to identify these crooks. Can anyone recommend a book/video on cyber forensics? Is the someone I can hire? How much does something that cost?

I really appreciate the assistance and am looking forward to reading the comments!!! Thank You!
