r/Report_scams

Someone scammed me on Facebook Marketplace—apparently using a fake account—and got me to transfer them $100. It might not seem like much, but given my financial situation, I can't afford to lose that money. I only have their phone number, the name they used for the bank transfer, and their bank account number and bank name. I want to doxx them so I can message them from a different number, tell them I know their location, and demand they return my money.

Warning!!!!

Someone close to me was arrested a few days back for a dui. First offense. Never even had a speeding ticket. Hasn’t been drinking recently and possibly lost some tolerance. Either way she’s scared now and dealing with a bunch of other shit on top of it. Scammers have been coming out of the woodwork using public records to try to convince her and others they are police and even threatening her with jail time if she doesn’t reply or send money. Well this morning while she was at her mother’s interment this dip shit actually used his own number to give it a shot. I know it’s his number because I called and he actually answered. I also confirmed with local police that he is not an actual cop. Maybe some of y’all have had similar experiences. Maybe you’d like a bit of revenge on people who try to exploit folks in a vulnerable position. If that seems up your alley give him a call. His number is ‪1 (239) 610-5691‬. Make this shit stain regret owning a phone.

TL;dr: another driver claimed I hit-and-ran, and then threatened to call the police on me. When I said go for it, they drove off.

Today at around 3:00pm I was driving westbound on Olympic Blvd, having just passed Century City. As I stopped at the Beverly Glen light, a car pulled up next to me honking. I figured it was a lost tourist or something.

But the guy started yelling at me, first asking if I was ok (almost like asking if I was mentally ok?), and then claiming I hit him. I said you’ve got the wrong guy, but he kept shouting, saying he got my plate and was calling the police. There was a female passenger who was on the phone, but she didn’t say anything. He also was yelling “I got kids in the car”, but I didn’t see any kids…

So I asked what intersection it happened at and he couldn’t tell me. He said “back there”. I asked if he had a dash cam and he said no.

So I said “I don’t know what kind of scam you’re trying to pull, but you picked the wrong guy.” He said “scam??” in that very defensive, high-pitched feigned shock that made me convinced this guy was up to something shady.

Then he again cursed at me, told me I was breaking the law, repeated my license plate number to the passenger, and said he was calling the cops. I said “go for it.” Then… he cut over two lanes and took off northbound on Beverly Glen.

I was headed to a spot near the West LA police station, so had he stuck around, I would’ve told him to just follow me there and we’ll let them sort it out.

When I parked, I did check my car to make sure I wasn’t losing my mind. I have a couple of dents and scrapes that have never been fixed, but absolutely nothing recent. And at the fear I was losing my sanity, I also checked the Citizen and PulsePoint apps to see if any accidents were reported along Olympic, but didn’t see anything.

I’m ~70% sure this was a scam. I got the feeling he was hoping I would immediately tell him to pull over and get out of my car. Then… idk, extort me, rob me, something.

29% chance someone did hit him and he mistook them for me.

1% chance that he really thought I hit him… even though there was absolutely no damage and I didn’t notice it.

But my spidey-sense tells me scam of some sort. Just not sure what. His driver side door was dented, so I’m wondering if he was looking for an easy target, and my old shitty car was a good one?

Driver was 30s Latino man, passenger was 30s Latina woman. Driving late model grey Honda Accord. I did grab their plate number.

Has this happened to anyone else?

negativepang43 sent me an offer from a post I made about an AAP-01, selling it for 150 with little to no details and a lower price for the item as well refusing to comment on my post (which is in issue in itself) They said they have 7 trades but have zero posts in this sub-reddit. the username across reddit is shown to do scam posts. Just beware please don't lose money and make sure they comment on your posts about buying, stay safe!

There is a man Uchemann on instagram. He goes by Adult
Adultmann

He has scammed people I know out of thousands of dollars, by being in a relationship with these women. He gets them to pay for his rent, food, clothes. Someone I know has purchased a ps5 for him. Several phones.

We believe the woman he lives with, Gloria, and her kids are his wife and kids. Although he refers to her as his sister.

Anyone else have family members experiencing this?
