[Scam] US Government Grant Department Fraud

$

0
I got a call from a guy with an accent who claims he is from the US Government Grant Department and that I won a grant that amounted to $8,400 and that I could use it towards anything. I asked him what particular grant did I win and how did I qualify. He said I won a December drawing from 1700 applicants and that I qualified because I didn't have a criminal record and that I paid my taxes on time(even though I never filed because I never held a job before) and that they were calling to verify my identity since all they had was my name and phone number. He then asked me for my name and address (he just said they had my name) and while doing this I googled up this supposed department and found red flags all over it. He then asked me what form would I like to receive my money and I mention Visa or MasterCard and then he asked me for my MasterCard number. That solidified that this was a scam and I told him that I wanted the money in PayPal. He pushed for MasterCard so I gave him the info to a defunct college debit card that I had laying around. He pulled up a fake confirmation number and said that if I didn't call his manager right away that I would lose my grant. I called his so called manager who goes by "Brandon War" according to the guy and got a message saying that he was busy and that his inbox was full. I would later on call the guy who started this and got a inbox full message as well. I then reported the incident to the the Department of Health and Human Services, Office of the Inspector General through phone where the automated messaging pretty much said that they would never give grants in the way this guy tried, reaffirming that I was right. After the reporting was done, I followed their advice to call and alert the bank of the card even though it was defunct. The bank confirmed that no activity has happened to the card and reaffirmed that the card was defunct and tied to no accounts. From what I can gather from past reports, these scammers would gather card numbers and then charge them and the person would never received a dime. Do not give them any card info, unless like me you are using a dead card. They just want to steal money and with college students pressing hard for money, its easy to prey upon those needs.

[Phish] Emails from Car Dealers about car "I am interested in"

This is strange. Possible phish. On Feb 26, I received 7 emails from different car dealers sending info about cars on their lots to my email address. I did not request any info. The emails were to a "John", "Pat", "Rick" and a "Mr. Barker". All 7 were from legit car dealers using business email. The dealers are in Oklahoma, Colorado and Arkansas. Then I got 3 emails, plain text, stating that they had my wrong phone number, would I send correct info so I can buy their "car". Two emails were from a "Raymond Franklin" using a Yahoo email address, and the other was from a "Dr. Ryan" using an sbcglobal email address. I did not respond. On Mar 3, I receive an email from a car dealer in Ohio, using my real first name, thanking me for purchasing a car from them. This concerned me. I researched and the dealer is real, I found a real contact for them and asked what was going on, why send me an email and use my first name. They just said, "sorry, we used the wrong email address". I am not looking for a car, and did not buy one. At this point, I am left hanging, don't know how such a coincidence happened. Anyone else have such weird emails?

Need help trying to find out if Italian company is legit or scam

$

Hi guys, I'd like to request assistance in checking to see if a company which is supposedly based out of Padova, Italy that I was contacted by regarding a job opportunity, is a legitimate business, or if it is a scam. The company's name is "Cosmo Trading SRL". Cosmo Trading SRL contacted me two weeks ago regarding a Project Manager job opportunity, stating that they are a construction equipment leasing, financing, and trading company with offices in the European Union, and in Asia-Pacific. The headquarters is supposedly based out of Padova, Italy, and they are looking to expand into North America. They currently have an office in Boston, MA and are looking to open an office here in New York City at 475 Tenth Avenue in the middle of April, afterwards I was told they would then look to open an office in Tampa, FL before expanding to the Pacific West Coast. Their contact information from their website (http://cosmot-srl.com/) is listed as: HQ European Union 9/3 Via Austria, 35127 Padova, Italy Telephone: +39 049 762 5020 office.eu@cosmot-srl.com HQ Asia-Pacific Wang Kwong Industrial Building, Kowloon, Hong Kong Telephone: +852 687 98 388 office.hk@cosmot-srl.com HQ North America 177 Huntington Ave, Boston, MA 02115 Telephone: +1 617 723 5433 office.us@cosmot-srl.com The individuals I was contacted by are (not posting their full names in order to respect their privacy in case it all turns out to be legitimate): KR HR Department | Cosmo Trading SRL Boston, MA | 617 963 0548 k.romano@cosmot-srl.com BF Regional Manager HR Department | Cosmo Trading SRL Boston, MA | 617 963 0548 b.falco@cosmot-srl.com I was issued a contract to sign, agreeing to a four week probationary period starting 02/16/2018, during which time I would be assigned Business Cases to review and complete assignments. It was also agreed that I would be paid for this four week probationary period, and upon successful completion of the probationary period with a grade of a "B" or higher, then an offer of permanent full-time employment would be extended. I started working on the Business Cases as assigned after returning the signed contract, and was informed by Mr. F after a week of completed assignments, management in Italy HQ was so pleased with my performance thus far that they would like to ask for my assistance in helping to set up the NY office and getting ready for their Managers and Executives to come over from Italy. Since they don't have any Managers currently here in NY, they wanted to offer me the side project of purchasing basic office equipment from a list of authorized vendors, and I would receive a commission for each completed Purchase Order in addition to the amount I was to be paid upon successful completion of the four week probationary period, and requested that I make the purchases on my personal credit card and then I was to log into my online credit card site and make the payments to my credit card from a corporate account they would provide the information for. I immediately became suspicious and told them I was not comfortable with this, and they then said that they could send the money to my personal credit card in advance and then I could make the purchases for the office equipment with those funds; I still refused. I have not had any further conversations with them regarding this matter since, and have repeatedly emailed Mr. F asking to schedule a call to discuss this further, but Mr. F has not responded to those requests and just continues to send me the Business Case assignments daily and respond with my grade for each completed assignment. When Mr. R and Mr. F both called me a week apart from each other, the voices sounded the same, but the speech pattern was very different. I was told that calls would only be able to take place by scheduled appointment since they are so busy. I have repeatedly tried calling the Boston, MA phone number, Mr. R's phone number, and Mr. F's phone number, only to continually receive a busy signal. When Mr. F called me only one time for a scheduled called when I asked to speak further regarding the details of this side project to help set up the NYC office, the number that appeared on my Caller ID when he called was $fontbg 508-203-7668 $Fontbg. When I tried calling this number back, it is a Google Voice number and no one answers. I was told by Mr. F that they had only been in the Boston, MA location for about 3-4 weeks now, and it is only the HR people that are there and that they are looking to hire and get the NY office set up and running first so Managers and Executives can come over from HQ in Italy, after which they would then get the Boston, MA office fully set up for Executives and Managers from HQ to come over to that location as well, and then look to set up the Tampa, FL office. Their website which looked very professional and legitimate had a lot of information, seems to be down at this time (http://cosmot-srl.com/), but a search of the domain shows that it is registered in the Ukraine. I have not really been able to find much information on the company except for what little I saw on these sites: http://www.registroimprese.it/ (search for "Cosmo Trading SRL") https://www.risco.ro/en/verifica-firma/cosmo-trading-cui-13667937 https://www.ihb.de/wood/company/Cosmo+Trading+srl_261466.html I called the Better Business Bureau and they have no listing of this company, they referred me to the Massachusetts Secretary of State which also had no listing of this company, and they referred me to the Massachusetts Attorney General who shows one complaint listed against "Cosmo Trading SRL" filed a week ago. I issued a Public Records Request to try to get the details of what the complaint entails but have not received anything back yet. I then proceeded to call the Building Management office for the Boston, MA location, since the phone number is constantly busy, in order to verify whether they are actually a tenant at that location. I spoke with the Property Manager there and he said that they are not allowed to disclose any information about tenants, but when I explained the situation, he said he has no lease agreement for an entity by that name. I contacted the Federal Bureau of Investigations (FBI) in order to see if they could investigate this entity and let me know if it is legitimate, but they were not able to do that since no actual crime had yet taken place. I then contacted the Consulate General of Italy and explained the situation to them, and they instructed me to contact the Italian Trade Commission, who then instructed me to send them an email with as much detailed information as possible to help with the investigation. Unfortunately they responded back and said: Thanks for your inquiry, Unfortunately our office can not furnish the information you are requesting but we you could probably find it by going to www.infoimprese.it or contacting the Chamber of Commerce of the Province of Padua http://www.pd.camcom.gov.it/ where the company says that has its headquarters. Another organization you might be able to contact for information would be the American Chamber Commerce in Italy athttp://www.amcham.it/. As this company is stating they are based out of Italy, and starting to do business here in the United States, I am trying to find out if this is a legitimate company, or if this is a scam that is being perpetrated. Certain things don't seem to be fitting together properly and have my Spidey-Sense tingling, but the Probationary Contract and the Business Case assignments they have sent me thus far all look pretty legitimate, as did their website when it was up. I don't want to just wash my hands on this and walk away if it could actually turn out to be a legitimate opportunity, but I also don't want to waste me time, effort, and energy on something that could possibly be a scam; hence wanting to do my due diligence before coming to a conclusion. Caveat emptor and all that. I'm hoping you guys would can help research this and let me know definitively if this is actually a legitimate company or a scam, and not just read this post and declare it's a scam on face value. Thanks in advance.

One of my email accounts, a main one, keeps getting letters addressed to me by my name but as though I live in Great Britain and was some sort of head honcho and part time street performer. It's weird and I figured, ok, maybe some guy keeps giving out the wrong email or people keep getting his email that might be similar to mine. But it never ends, and it keeps getting weirder and weirder. I report spam to google (it's gmail) but every day there some "new" sender and there isn't always a link included but a supposed email address link. I wonder what is going on, surely by now if it was some guy with a similar email address he'd have taken proper measures to explain to people to send to the right address?

credit card bill for turbotax download from Wanchai China

Hi, just as stated, I bought my Turbotax download online from a site called TaxExperts. My credit card charged me a foreign transaction fee which alerted me to the origin of the software to be Wanchai China. Does this mean i could have a tampered with turbotax program which would presumably send my personal data to Chinese hackers ? Thanks

I received the below message a few mins ago...scam I believe so be on the look out!

I got 4 robo-calls from "Apple" this morning.

I can't quote the exact message, but it goes something like this: This is Molly from Apple Support. We have detected a security breach with your Apple i-cloud account, before using any of your Apple devices, we strongly suggest you talk to an Apple Support Advisor, press 1 to talk with a support advisor or press 2 to hang up. The first two calls were answered by my answering machine, the third and fourth I answered, on the third call, since I don't have an Apple i-cloud, or any Apple devices, account I pressed 2, and the call disconnected. I just hung up on the fourth call. Is this something like those Microsoft scam calls? Was pressing 2 to hang up a bad idea?

[Spam] Why so many spammers using Yahoo mail?

I seem to be experiencing a real uptick in spam emails lately (5 overnight) and just about every one of them is from a yahoo.com address. I block each address but I got a feeling that they just change email addresses regularly so blocking doesn't really work. I assume Yahoo is aware of this and can't or won't do anything about it. At least Outlook's junk filter catches most of them and puts them in the junk folder.

Just received a phone call from “Sarah” at cardholder services informing me on how I can lower my credit card apr. I should note that I don’t have a credit card, so definitely a scam. callerID says 352-406-2507, which traces back to a nearly 70yr old male. Just giving the heads up.

Are you owed $1,200? Maybe, if you got a Dish Network telemarketing call https://www.cbsnews.com/news/dish-network-do-not-call-lawsuit-eligible-to-collect-1200-per-call/ "The jury awarded $400 for each of the 51,000 calls made in violation of the Do Not Call Registry. Not only that, a judge later determined Dish "willfully and knowingly violated" the law and tripled the damages to $1,200 per call." You can check if your number is one of the 18,066 eligible for payment https://kccsecure.com/dishclassaction-Lookup/Home/PhoneForm I didn't have any concerns inputting phone numbers

I don't know if it is allowed to post a number that I keep getting calls from, is it ok? Most searches bring up nothing, but one search has one person saying IRS scam. Caller number is in Michigan. The persistance is what worries me, I have not answered. I get a few spam calls to my cell but this one has happened about, I think, 4 or 5 times, 3 times today already. I'm new to my phone so I guess I didn't successfully block the number.

[Phish] Comcast phishing or just spam ?

Gotta love these scammers who want me to pay my Comcast bill via their "link". Anyway, I reported this email (below) to Comcast Security Assurance with full headers. I consider it "phishing"; the response from CSA is that it is merely spam. So is it just spam ? I don't grasp the CSA rationale since it's addressed to me (redacted) and has a link to use. I'd be most grateful if y'all would advise, please. (I've deleted as much code as I can. Apologies if I've left too much in and the post is long.) Thanks in advance !!
