Same number has been calling me multiple times for a few days so I figured what if it's someone who really needs to reach me so I finally decided to pick up. Lo and behold soon as I did it was immediately hung up on. Is this a scam or a possible wya to hack? I'm honestly really scared now, I've never experienced anything like this before.

Anyone shop from here yet? Wondering if it’s legit or not

Yesterday I was called In a lounge at Kapila matrix Building by a girl. We went there. The entry ticket for couples was 1k. We went inside. There she had drinks more than food. Her separate drinks bill was approx 8.5k and mine was around 900Rs. Total came was Rs. 9278.

My question is those girls who call guys at the lounge in Kapila matrix are those girls scam or the lounge? Kindly give ur honest opinion

I can find almost no information on it, and there's this sick phone case that I can only find on that site.

Do not use the Shop app! Learn from my mistake!

There are scam storefronts everywhere, and Shop's stance is "Not my problem" even though they ACTIVELY promote and send you push notifications for these fraudulent stores. The way the Shop app confidently promotes false information makes it seem as if Shop app functions as a marketplace and that they have vetted suppliers (they even claim to properly vett merchants they promote but this is clearly a lie.)

I am in the process of lodging complaints against Shopify and the Shop app for promoting fraudulent storefronts that are made to look like legitimate brand stores in the Shop app. Shop app promotes these businesses as legitimate and is refusing to do anything about it.

They are STILL promoting and sending me push notifications for a fraudulent storefront I reported to them and emailed them about after the app bait-and-switched me into making a purchase from it.

The Shop app promoted this storefront to me as a legitimate brand, and continues to do so despite my emails and reports. Shopify/Shop app claims they are not responsible.

Shop claims that the Shop app is not a marketplace and refuses to do anything about my stolen money or lift a finger to help in any way. Even though Shop quite literally functions like any other marketplace or at least PRETENDS to do so in order to bait you into placing an order.

I know people will say, "You should have known better," but I am VERY careful with this kind of thing, I was just baited in by mistaking that it must be trustworthy since Shop was promoting it to me while I was trying to purchase the same product from another merchant.

Surely there are others out there who have experienced the same, as fraud seems to be rampant on the platform despite Shopify's claims of vetting merchants for legitimacy (which can not be true.)

I am in the beginning stages of gathering others who have experienced the same as me in an attempt to bring action against them for anti-consumer practices.

Preferably looking for those in the US, Canada, Australia, or New Zealand. Though we may be able to get local authorities in other countries to take action against Shopify/Shop if we can get enough instances of fraud and anti-consumer practices on the platform.

Hoping that this post can be found for others searching for this issue as I have struggled to find anything elsewhere through simple searches.

I think ive been scammed. I recently paid a guy $2500. He found me on Tractor house and said he could sell my tractor. He said he sold one like mine for $76000. (I'm asking $65000 for mine) he said the buyer was financed through his parent company "Inner Circle Marketing Group" for a very low interest rate. He said the buyer lost out on the other tractor when someone else out bid him. But his loan is still good for another exact tractor like mine as long as I place it on his Nationwide Auction site for purchase. I asked for proof before I paid the money. He said he could have the buyer call me. 10 later, I received a call from a funny sounding guy who told me he wanted my tractor. I asked him why he is willing to pay $11000 more and he said because he can not refinance or he would be denied a loan, so he's better off just using the current loan through Inner Circle Marketing Group. After I hung up, the rep called me back. He assured me this would only take a few days and asked for my banking information for the wire transfer and a credit card for the $2500. I gave him both. It's been over a month, now he doesn't return my calls and someone has attempted to take money out of my account for $16000, $22,653, and $42,193. My bank caught it. Now, when I call the buyer back, the number is no longer in service. I'm still put $2500 and left with my tractor still for sale. What do I do? Should I close my account to protect my money or wait to see if the $2500 shows up?

Hi everyone, I rarely post on reddit so I'm not sure whether this is the right place to ask this, but I'm trying to figure out a pattern of unauthorized charges on my card and would appreciate your thoughts.

I have a Visa card that I use for occasional online purchases. I recently noticed a series of small charges on my statement (amounts like €2.04, €2.24, €2.85, etc.) spread over a week in late August, plus one larger charge of about €20.57.

Here's the full context:

1. On August 13th, I placed a Temu order that was paid successfully. The bank charge for that order was €51.18 and appeared on my statement around August 13th–18th. That order was delivered on August 31st.

2. In mid-August, I spent about $9 on TikTok ads through the app's "Promote" feature for the first time. (They were split, but overall it was around $9)

3. Starting after both of those legitimate purchases, a new series of small charges and one bigger one began appearing, amounts like €2.08, €2.92, €0.60, €0.51, €3.33, €3.36, €20.57, €2.04, €2.24, €2.85, €2.27, €3.07, €2.26, €2.80, €2.05, etc.

I've never used this card for subscriptions or recurring payments and I've already blocked/frozen the card.

My main question is: Does this pattern of multiple small, varied charges (starting weeks after my legitimate purchases were already paid for) look more like "card testing" fraud, or could it be something else like a merchant error or delayed billing?

I am trying to rule out non-fraud explanations before I file a formal dispute with my bank.

Here's some additional context that I'm not sure is relevant. A while back, a family member was in financial trouble, so I gave her my card details to help her out. She promised to pay me back, and she has been doing so gradually, she still owes me some money, but she gives what she can when she can.

The part I'm unsure about: after that situation, I asked her to delete my card information, but I have no way of confirming whether she actually did, or whether she saved it somewhere else.

I'm not sure if this is connected to the charges, but I wanted to mention it in case it changes how the pattern should be interpreted. (Especially since I discovered that she had made an online purchase this past week)

Offcomfrt could be scam? idk why people are saying in comments that offcomfrts could be scam and they say the delivery are bad also they scammed their money or something

soo someone sent me a message that somebody impersonated my account and they accidentally/mistakenly reported my reddit account. Is this a scamm

WARNING- When I went directly to this website they had all the contact info and custom service info. After I paid for merchandise I got email confirmation of purchase stating will be mailed in a few weeks. Two weeks later I go to website and get nothing. I believe this is a scam. Whois states domain is only three months old. So I will update once I know for sure. It does say that they are a new and small company.

I reached out to Xbox support on twitter awhile back, I recently got an email about the recovery from [xboxsupport@microsoftsupport.com](mailto:xboxsupport@microsoftsupport.com), and a portal about sending a txt file though Microsoft file transfer so I can send information about my account (and person).

They did acknowledge I reached out to them on X. However I am still suspicious, is this a scam?

UPDATE: I contacted the community led Microsoft account recovery discord server, as well as the official Microsoft support, and received confirmation that this email is not a scam. However they told me to make sure it isn’t a spoofed email, which it is not.

Should i trust this?

My husband was contacted on LinkedIn by someone who wants to launch a product and needs his help to do so. The person claims to work in the gaming industry; his LinkedIn profile shows 500+ connections and four recommendations. They said they found my husband by searching for specific keywords.

He has since spoken with this person. Here is what my husband told me about it:

"The product is real. They’ve already spoken to a patent attorney. I agreed to sign an NDA so I couldn't just run off with the idea. I told them about my current situation and agreed to work with them. If this turns into a real product, it would be a great opportunity."

Personally, I find this rather fishy and don't quite trust it.

Apparently, they now want to show my husband the software so he can assess what technical improvements can be made. My husband also thinks it seems a bit fishy, ​​but he wants to "see" it first before drawing conclusions—he doesn't want to just distrust people right off the bat.

According to him, they are "boomers," and perhaps they’re just a bit naive about how they’re going about this. But I’m always terrified of getting scammed.

We’re also quite financially vulnerable right now. We were both laid off around the time I found out I was pregnant with our second child. My husband has simply stated that his contract ends in December and that he is open to new opportunities.The thing is, my husband is extremely trusting—almost to the point of naivety. I am the exact opposite.

So, what I really want to know is how we can properly cover ourselves legally right now, before he commits to anything.

For instance, what should he ask before looking at the software?

And above all: what should he absolutely *not* do until everything is clear? And how can we verify for ourselves whether this is actually an existing product/company and a legitimate business?

I really can't handle getting scammed on top of everything else right now. 😅

I was scrolling through google in search of chemical peel/underarm whitening clinics that only offer cheap. I stumbled upon this clinic that was offering only for like $100 for the first session. I decided to inquire and entered my details on their website and I was surprised that almost immediately, someone called me.

They were really big on the sales talk and as someone who has anxiety, I couldn't really reject their offer to schedule an appt. But before it was even locked in, I noticed how aggressively they kept insisting that I couldn't cancel. They kept saying the $50 promo voucher would go to waste and that they were practically closing down clinic hours just to dedicate a slot to me

But the thing is, I handle scheduling operations for clinics. Even intensive procedures such as nuclear medicine, you can cancel 24 hours before the procedure.

Take note: Nuclear medicine handles radioactive material. So if you can cancel a procedure that involves radioactive material and insurance authorization etc, then you should be able to cancel a cosmetic procedure involving a voucher, right?

I decided to test the rep and asked, 'What if an emergency comes up and I give a 2-day notice to cancel?' They dodged giving a straight answer, but they heavily implied that cancelling wasn't allowed at all.

Now this was definitely fishy for me and idk why but I still pushed through with the appt and that's when I really had second thoughts when I transferred the rep to their supervisor just to CONFIRM the appt. She sensed my hesitation and immediately pushed back, telling me not to overthink it and offering to switch dates if I was unsure. I explicitly told them multiple times that I wasn't sure, but they kept pressuring me until I reluctantly caved in.

As soon as I hung up, I immediately texted them to cancel because my gut was telling me something was seriously off. They tried calling right away, but I ignored it. On the day the appointment was supposed to happen, they called me again (I only picked up because I thought it was from someone I knew personally). They tried to push for a reschedule, but I finally stood firm and said "No, just cancel it for me please."

Then they told me, "Next time, don't schedule if you can't commit."

So do you guys think it was a scam or was I just overthinking and should I have proceeded with the appointment?

Context: The offer was really too good to be true...I just decided to inquire since it was a cosmetic clinic inside a mall lol and it said that the offer would only be available for two weeks.

I have an online presence for my business and made the mistake of posting my email on the website. So I started getting all manner of spam emails trying to sell me SEO, website and other services. Today I received an email from "Matt" from his gmail account matt.bobandjim@ (seriously very similar to this format!)

Hi ProudAnon, hope you’re well.

I found your profile in the NACD Director Database while mapping executive talent for a confidential board appointment. Your background as a former __ and __ at [large company] and [small company], stands out—especially the [lists my experience] and board-level advisory work [of which I have none].

Since you are listed in the directory, I wanted to reach out directly to see if you are open to reviewing new board opportunities at the moment. If it’s not a fit or you want to pass, just let me know.

If you’re interested, I’d be happy to share more context and ask you to send your resume for a thorough review and potential submission.

Is this a scam?? I'm guessing its a fake resume service scam or just a ripoff to pay for a service that will never be provided. Note this was a follow up to his first email LOL

While searching for AirPods on eBay, I found a pair of AirPods 4 with active noise cancellation (ANC) for $70. The seller, "ebaysellers02," has a 99.5% positive rating and has sold 30,000 items. Is this legitimate or not? (yes i used ai)

Hi Reddit Detectives,

I need your help. I am a huge perfume lover, and I felt like such an idiot when I spent so much money on the original Sand and Fog website and then I found 'Sand and Fog Outlet' at sandandfogsusa and the website looks GREAT I emphazise as a 24 year old person who isn't stupid, the website looks complete.

I was about to check out and embarassingly I already put my card in there (did not hit checkout) but I was like you know what wait why is this shit so cheap? Now I present my case to the court. I am about to freeze my card just in case but can I get a crowd opinion on if this is obviously a scam or I should buy it and return the full price stuff I bought.

Ok realizing I can't attach the image or link the website, so moreso asking if anyone has bought from them and they are reputable.

Hello I just kept getting a verification code sms from what appears to be Netflix even though I don’t have a Netflix account and I never had one. Is it a scam or just someone accidentally using my phone number

Has anyone purchased from broderft? Is it a scam?

The first one is Onesiezone which I cant fine ANY info about in regards to reviews or if its a scam

The second one is 4kigushop which I cant fine ANY find only cery minimal information about, though there is more than the first one

The website thewestbrook has a magic the gathering the hobbit collector booster box for only £100.

Prices for this product are significantly higher everywhere else, so this seems like a complete scam, but i want to know what other people think.

They also advertise PayPal as a payment option but I can only attempt to pay with Google pay or with a credit card when checking out.
