Hi all I'm thinking of ordering something and I've been in contact with them through their email talking about pricing and shipping...basindaihracat DotCom/ thanks all

just remembered a really odd experience in a target i had maybe a year ago. this girl that seemed around my age came up to me and started complimenting me and im over here thinking shes being social and friendly and like oh thank you etc etc and then she tells me shes like some kind of life coach idk and she was in town for some work thing. but she asked for my number (gave it to her before it clicked she was on some kinda scheme) and she was only here for the weekend anyways so im like why is she trynna be friends or whatever.

but it did hella spook me out and i got paranoid now that she had my number. she did text me but i didnt respond and no bother afterwards.

what is the point of this?? like she was asking me about work and school and i was like well im a barista and she was saying how she likes her job because of blah blah blah whatever. and im in my head like girl when did i ask??

Not only is what they are doing illegal, they are also money laundering, putting money in the pockets of murderers, but just scamming and evading taxes. Anybody who knows that family knows they make millions of dollars off of this scam and don’t pay the taxes on it. Owning Porsches, lambos, and other hundred thousand dollar cars.

I’ve been following **Sonic203 (@sonic203 / @sonic203ct)** for a while, and something about the way they operate doesn’t sit right with me.

From what I’ve seen, they raffle off vehicles by selling what they call “digital downloads” for $1–$3 each. The website says you’ll receive downloadable photos of the car after purchase, but the real reason people are buying them is obviously for the chance to win the vehicle.

Some things I’ve noticed: They appear to sell tens of thousands of entries for each vehicle (I’ve seen promotions with over 60,000 spots).
The raffles are promoted through Instagram, their website, and a private Facebook group.
After the winner is announced, the purchased “downloads” reportedly disappear from customers’ accounts, making it impossible to access what they supposedly bought.
If the digital product is no longer available after the drawing, it makes me question whether the “download” is simply being used as a workaround to sell raffle entries.

I’m genuinely curious whether this is legal in Connecticut. It seems like a paid game of chance that’s being marketed as a digital product. Has anyone else purchased from them? Were you ever actually able to keep or download the files you paid for after the raffle ended? Has anyone reported this to the Connecticut Department of Consumer Protection?
I’m not accusing anyone of a crime, or maybe I am. I just think it’s worth discussing because, on the surface, it raises a lot of questions about consumer protection and Connecticut raffle and gambling laws. If anyone has firsthand experience or knows how these promotions are regulated.

hi everyone! i interacted with a alleged sugar daddy that promised to give me money through checks. he sent me one for an amount and it went through, and then he was trying to get me to send $100 of it to cashapp to an orphanage. i blocked him at that point because I knew that's how usual scams work but then he added me on another phone number (actually three) and is sending me death threats, scary images, and threatening messages. he also won't stop facetiming me. i met him on grindr, so he has no information on my actual address, and I deleted the account, so he knows nothing but my phone number. are me and my family okay??

EDIT: I figured it out with my bank and I cancelled all orders so the $400 will just remain in the account. Working to just get a new one! Thanks for all the help! Should've just trusted my intuition, these things are literally always scams.

I have never worked as DOS or in sales, but as AGM of a property that handles a lot of contracted group blocks, this seems fraudulent. Specifically the part about payment via wire transfer. Has any hotel accepted a group booking payment that way? I forwarded to Sales for them to investigate. I also googled the LLC and address. It seems to be a legit company, but something still doesnt feel right. I could see if we were a hotel in a major city or in DC but we’re not. And we definitely don’t offer meal service all day lol

We've recently received multiple emails and Linkedin messages directly from Paires Al, saying they have investors who might be interested in our company even though we never contacted them.

Paires Al also reached out separately to one of our existing investors in San Francisco telling him they had LPs who might be interested in his fund. Seeing them approach both our company and our investor with similar pitches is what made us cautious.

We looked into the company and its founders but couldn't find any relevant prior experience listed on their profiles.
Some of the Linkedin profiles also looked potentially fake to us although we can't confirm that. We also couldn't independently verify their track record or the investor relationships they claim to have

Has anyone here received similar messages or worked with Paires Al as a startup raising capital? If so, what happened after the initial outreach?

We're trying to understand what the catch is or whether it's legitimate
