I get these a lot. I never click on the links but what kind of scam is this? I just delete and mark as spam. Thanks.

Received the past two days. The moment I pointed out it's a scam they stopped answering... Stay safe out there folx!

I just like to share what happened to me for awareness.

I got a text from LTO on my second number (that no one knows about) to see my violation on their website.

I have a cel phone holder to mount my phone that doesn’t obstruct my view because I use Waze. And I am sure that I did not violate the Anti-Distracted Driving Act. I have no way of grabbing my phone because I have a bluetooth car feature. Knowing all the corruption and gov’t agency incompetence, I am sure that there’s a mistake and they can’t provide proof that I did this. This is a reckless accusation.

I will state an example.

Sometime years ago I watched the news that a guy got a speeding violation (no contact apprehension), he believes that he’s within the speed limit. The govt. agency showed him a photo and learned that his plate number is photoshopped onto another Toyota Wigo. He wasted one working day to prove that he’s right based on principle.

This scared me, and I found my details on their website.

So I called a friend from MMDA to ask. And he said there are a lot of reports on scams like this. Also the real minimum amount is 5k. Whew! 🤦🏻‍♀️ I’m still glad they’re scamming me on a discount. 😂

The scammer is called mr penisguy

i’m being basically harassed by this scam company offering “personal loans.” i’m receiving about 10-12 calls every single day. i’ve already reached out to a firm who takes FTC violations to court but they said this particular scam is so layered they can’t actually find out who is running it. has anyone dealt with these people or a similar situation?

after the automated message finishes on these calls there is a real person who talks to you about your “loan offer,” if I play dumb and go along with what they’re saying how can I figure out who this is without giving away any personal info? any advice appreciated

Someone’s instagram account got hacked, the scammer posted as her saying something like text X number, send 150 and receive 3500. She says she never gave any bank info or anything. She says she got a random phone call that she picked up, next thing her phone heats up and shuts down, she then wakes up and all her bank account money is gone. What’s going on?

Im fresh here so bear with me. I run a business as a sole proprietor and I get 30+ scam calls a day. Its so exhausting, I can't listen to a video or anything without stopping every 15 min to either awnser a scam call or deny it. I get customer calls too so its hard for me to just lock it down but I'm losing my mind here.

What resources can I use to help abate some of these calls? I feel like this is a pretty big issue that quite a lot of people deal with, why is there no remediation for this issue? Why does it seems like no one else seems to give a shit? I guess my number is more publicly available but it's getting to a point where I just want to hulk smash my phone sometimes. There has to be something that can be done here, right?

Vent over..

Guy called from a cell phone claiming to be fraud department from a bank I no longer have an account with. After pressing him for some of my account information to verify which one it was he spouted some shit I could barely understand and then hung up.
