Buyers beware scammer alert

Not sure if this is the correct sub to post here but he posted these here a few days ago. Me and another buyer attempted to buy his pairs and send money and he never shipped them. The OP is “TrisThomas35” Luckily funds were sent as protection so should be recovered.

Got scammed by a user promising ₹500 for referral downloads. Blocked me immediately.

Hey everyone, just making a quick post to warn you all.

​NGT_MAMA reached out offering ₹500 if I downloaded two apps using their referral links. I finished the tasks and sent the proof, but as soon as it was done, they completely blocked me without paying a single rupee.

Is this a Fraudulent Case?b

I’m trying to understand if this is normal or if something is off.

I had 5 teeth removed and they gave me a temporary bridge. I paid $4,500 upfront.

But when I got the ADA claim form they sent to insurance, it only shows $1,810 worth of procedures (exam, X‑rays, and extractions). No bridge, no crowns, nothing else.

The ledger they gave me, however, lists a bunch of extra procedures that aren’t on the claim at all, like periodontal scaling, pontics, retainer crowns, and other codes that don’t match what I had done.
They made my husband and I apply for Cherry kind of like Care Credit to pay up front and they’re an in network provider so I feel I was overcharged and they’ll only honor the ADA claim?

I had very bad dental anxiety and finally overcame my fear and this is what I’m dealing with now.

My insurance is from IBEW and this is from their site

TRUFFA N26 – Vishing sofisticato, mi hanno svuotato il conto in 48 ore. Qualcuno ha vissuto qualcosa di simile?

Ciao a tutti. Scrivo per condividere una vicenda che mi ha colpito duramente e per capire se qualcuno ha vissuto un'esperienza simile o ha suggerimenti su come procedere.

Cosa è successo: Circa una settimana fa ho ricevuto diverse chiamate da un numero italiano con prefisso milanese (+39 02…). Ho richiamato e un sedicente agente N26 mi ha informato di un tentativo di frode sul mio conto, chiedendomi di aprire l'app. Effettivamente, c'era una notifica per un pagamento sospetto su Zara — in quel momento mi sono fidato.

Mi ha chiesto di accedere a un sito dall'aspetto identico a N26 — branding perfetto, copyright incluso — tramite un URL del tipo n26online.it.com. Ha spiegato che era un'interfaccia interna per account compromessi. Ho inserito le credenziali.

Poi mi ha installato automaticamente due app: "Certificato N26" e "Modulo N26", chiedendomi di completare una "procedura di recupero" con riconoscimento biometrico. L'app N26 originale è stata messa in "manutenzione": inaccessibile per 48 ore intere.

Nel frattempo, in quelle 48 ore:

  • È stata richiesta una linea di credito con una cifra molto alta (MAI richiesta in 6 anni da cliente N26)
  • Tutti i risparmi trasferiti a più destinatari su diverse banche
  • Il portafoglio investimenti completamente liquidato
  • Il conto Binance svuotato e rinominato con un nome fittizio

Al termine dell'iter, il mo telefono è stato resettato su "factory setting", facendomi perdere tutti i dati.

N26 non ha bloccato nulla nonostante: nuovi beneficiari mai visti, trasferimenti multipli e ravvicinati, liquidazione investimenti, nuova linea di credito. Zero notifiche, zero interventi, non mi hanno avvisato che il mio account si stava svuotando in tempo reale!

Ho presentato denuncia, richiesto recall dei bonifici. N26 al momento rifiuta il rimborso.

Vi chiedo:

  • Avete mai vissuto una truffa simile con N26 o altre neobank?
  • Qualcuno è riuscito a ottenere un rimborso?
  • Avete suggerimenti legali o pratici?

Grazie.

BEWARE: Suarden Token Fake Web3 Token Scam

There is a new scam name for the notorious Quarden,Klardun,Tetreum,Kvartox,Clardun crew. The new name the scam organization is using is Suarden Token. Beware this is nothing more than a claude coded fake website designed to lure unsuspecting investors to a fake cryptocurrency presale. It is all fabricated with lies and more lies. They spam YouTube and TikTok to try to lure people. I lost $500 before and now I am warning everyone when I see a new one the organization pumps out. Stay Vigilant!

SCAMMED IN THE CDM.....NEED HELP PLEASE

I was using the CDM in my locality and then a person whom I saw earlier in the same bank approached me and asked if he could send some to my Gpay, will I give him cash. I was in urgent need to make some salary payments to my staff so I thought where's the damage and gave him 1k and he sent it to my Gpay perfectly. Then he said he needed more and asked for another 10k. I have him and he sent the same and showed me a screenshot. I couldn't check at that time since I believed him as he had already sent me the 1k earlier. But the 10k was not received in my bank till now and when I called him in the number I made him call me in the CDM, it's blocked now.

Help me out on this matter.

What should I do next??

Should I approach Cyber Cell or visit the police station now??

Urgent help as I have been hacked

A month ago i bought my little brother a laptop and it was registered using my emails. On 14th May he pirated a copy of resident evil and on the same day I had a login attempt made which the scammer deleted from my inbox so i did not see the notification. Yesterday I found a draft in my inbox sent from my account with a threat demanding money(bitcoin) in exchange for keeping my privacy (i am aware this part is a scam/not true). My issue is that the scammer has logged onto my outlook using a mobile device - i have tried resetting the password but it does not kick you out of the mobile app (not even me).

I have reset all my passwords - used sign out of all devices - reported it to authorities but no one can help me or believe me.

I know they are in there as they have been leaving scam phishing emails with threats for money.

Ive checked for rules to see if it was automated but nothing i see.

Please could I have some help on how to get rid of them -I have money tied up in the account and I cannot afford to delete it.

My dad keeps falling for scams and I don't know what to do as he drags the whole family into debt

To keep things informative but short, my father never really understood how things work in Canada, and I think this misunderstanding is what led to all this... Bullshit.

First scam he fell for was just after COVID. Some guy called Rajesh would ask for money so he can give a crash course on business analysis and then give whoever paid a 20 page poorly done resume. He kept on doing those for about a year. The next one is where everything went downhill.

Somehow, someway, my dad got into crypto, and decided he needed a crypto wallet. Instead of learning about this the normal way, he decided to talk with someone who supposedly knew their shit. Next thing you know they needed access to his JOINT bank account with mother, and he just... Gave them the password to the whole family bank account. They took about a thousand before mother noticed and shut it all down, but in total they took like 20k from dad's credit cards.

Third one was apparently so bad that my father never told me, and my mother refused to say, but i know it's upwards of 100k. Keep in mind that we do not have this kind of money. We are barely getting by over here. He's literally just taking out loans from the bank and lines of credit. He maxed out all his credit cards.

After his devastating folly, he got a large Vinfast SUV EV to work Uber instead of getting an actual job, and we thought that was the end of it...

Not.

The past year or so, he's been in contact with people who wanted him to be their "Oil Broker" so they can all collect on about 10 million USD. He has been paying them this past year or so, money that should have been going to the bank or to even us.

Apparently, I just found out tonight that he somehow loaned more cash from his old friends, other people, and more people, and faked my mother's consent for a student loan so he can pay the "final stage" of this whole ordeal. He still doesn't have enough and idk what he's planning now.

We've talked to him, multiple times now, and he always brushes us off and says that he believes these people will give him his money back. They just keep asking for more. We gave him so many opportunities to go back abroad and work excellent jobs, but he denies it everytime. He's a pharmacist. Or was, at least.

Aside from begging the cops to arrest him, I have no idea what to do now. We're trying to separate our joint assets from him so the bank doesn't take our house but he refuses to take his name out from some sort of ego or pride. Idk. He refuses to cooperate, he refuses to even listen.

I'm just waiting to graduate so I can work abroad and get my family out because at this point I see no other way out.

Just got scammed on eBay for the first time.

Don’t know if this is the right place to post this, but I need to rant. A few weeks ago I ordered a fusion world Energy Marker E-73 on eBay. The description clearly stated it was a gold rarity and was charging the market price of a gold rarity. What I received was a silver, which is much cheaper than what I paid.

The seller didn’t have many sales but the few that they did had given them a perfect rating. On top of that, the listing had an eBay authenticity guarantee, which I found reassuring. The picture of the card itself also had reflective yellow lighting to make it appear gold.

I usually have always bought from tcg player, but with current prices, I’ve recently turned to other markets to find bargains. My previous purchases and interactions with sellers on eBay have all been positive until now. Since eBay authenticated the item, I am in contact with them hoping I can get a refund because the seller unsurprisingly doesn’t accept returns! Has anyone had similar experiences?

Edit: I just found out the seller deleted the negative feedback that I left them! I didn’t know they could do that. How is that even allowed?? If you’re a confirmed buyer, your review shouldn’t be able to be taken down.

Can someone text from a number without it actually being from the owner of that number?

So someone tried extorting me today for hundreds of dollars. I knew it was a bullshit scam, but I noticed that they were texting me with an iPhone (the blue bubbles) and from a t-mobile phone number located here in the U.S. I was able to find the social media profiles and address connected to that number. I did message the person attached to the number on one of the social media sites but I’m now wondering if it was some sort of hack like what if it wasn’t that person and they were somehow able to use that person’s number and I just bothered this random person for no reason? lol

GRO79A Drained My Wallet Through a Fake Elon Musk Crypto Scam Any Recourse?

I think I just got completely wrecked by a fake Elon Musk crypto scam tied to something called GRO79A and honestly I feel pretty stupid right now. Over the past week I kept seeing people talking about it everywhere on X and YouTube comments and a lot of the posts were making it sound like Elon was somehow involved or connected to the project. The website looked convincing enough that I let my guard down.

I connected my wallet to what I thought was their presale page and within a few minutes assets started disappearing from my wallet. First some tokens vanished and then ETH started moving out too. I disconnected everything immediately but by then the damage was already done.

Looking back now there were a ton of red flags. The entire marketing push revolved around Elon Musk hype and vague AI claims but there was never any actual proof behind it. The website domain also looked brand new and the whole thing felt rushed once I started paying closer attention after the drain happened.

I already revoked approvals and transferred what little I had left into a fresh wallet, but I wanted to ask if there is realistically any recourse after something like this happens. Has anyone here ever managed to recover funds after a wallet drainer scam or is it basically impossible once the transactions go through?

Mostly posting this so hopefully someone else avoids GRO79A because this definitely feels like a coordinated scam.

[HELP] I’m a complete beginner and just got scammed out of over $1,000 trying to start freelancing

I honestly feel sick writing this.

I’m completely new to freelancing and Fiverr and was trying to get started making some money online as a student. I had no experience with crypto/payments/scams and ended up getting manipulated into making transactions through MoonPay and Skin.club.

In total I lost:

  • 402.38 USD
  • 402.38 USD
  • 213.55 USD

Over one thousand dollars gone. Literally most/all of the money I had.

What’s making this worse is Fiverr support has been incredibly unhelpful. I contacted them confused and panicking because I genuinely did not understand what was happening, and instead of guiding me on what to do as a beginner, I got vague responses and then basically ghosted.

I know people are probably going to say “how did you fall for that,” but please understand I’m new to all of this and the scam looked legitimate at the time. I already blocked my card, contacted my bank, and started disputing the transactions, as well as contacting both websites but I’m terrified the money is permanently gone.

Has anyone here dealt with something similar involving MoonPay/skin.club/Fiverr scams? Is there ANY realistic chance of recovering the money through chargebacks or fraud disputes?

Please don’t flame me too hard. I already feel like an absolute idiot. I have no idea what to do now and haven't told my parents yet.

The Call That Cost a Lifetime of Savings

How a retired engineer lost ₹1.6 crore to an official-sounding voice on the phone

The Call That Cost a Lifetime of Savings

Rajesh Sharma (name changed) had spent 35 years building his life carefully. The retired engineer from Nashik had raised two children, paid off his home, and accumulated modest savings—the kind of security that lets you sleep at night. At 62, he was looking forward to grandchildren and morning walks, not to answering a phone call that would unravel everything.

It started ordinarily enough. A man's voice, crisp and official-sounding, introduced himself as a customs officer. Rajesh felt a flutter of confusion—he hadn't imported anything, hadn't done anything wrong. But the caller's tone was so assured, so bureaucratic, that doubt crept in. "Sir, we have detected your name in a money laundering case," the voice said. "Your bank accounts are flagged."

Rajesh's stomach tightened. This can't be real, he thought. But what if it was?

The caller explained he was under "digital arrest"—a term Rajesh had never heard, but which sounded terrifyingly official. "You are not to leave your house or contact anyone," the man said. "If you speak to your family, the case will worsen. Do you understand?"

Fear overwhelmed logic. Rajesh found himself nodding into the phone, agreeing not to tell his wife, his children, anyone. The caller stayed on the line—hours stretched into days. He video-called, showing Rajesh fabricated arrest warrants and official seals. Sometimes, multiple men posed as different government officials, each reinforcing the nightmare scenario. The isolation intensified Rajesh's panic. Without outside perspective, without anyone to reality-check the madness unfolding, he could only believe what he was being told.

"You need to transfer funds to a government verification account," the voice explained. "This is how we clear your name." It made a strange kind of sense to Rajesh's frightened mind. He transferred ₹5 lakhs. Then 10 lakhs. Then more.

Days blurred together. Each time Rajesh transferred money, the relief was momentary. Within hours, the caller would find a new problem. "Investigation fees." "Clearance charges." "Documentation costs." The cycle became a trap—each payment a temporary respite from the threat of arrest, each respite followed by a new demand.

Rajesh withdrew cash, made bank transfers, emptied accounts he'd spent decades filling. Around ₹1.6 crore was gone before something shifted. A moment of clarity—perhaps exhaustion, perhaps the accumulation of inconsistencies—made him question. He called his son.

His son's response was immediate and devastating: "Dad, this is a scam."

The realization hit like a physical blow. Not only had he lost his savings; he had been complicit in his own victimization, isolated by shame and fear. The "officials" disappeared once he hung up, leaving only a dial tone and emptied accounts.

Rajesh reported the scam to his local police and filed a complaint with India's Cyber Crime Cell. He contacted his bank. Months later, no money has been recovered, but he has recovered something else: his voice. He speaks to friends, family, community groups about what happened. Other elderly people share their own close calls, moments when they almost fell into the same trap.

The damage extends beyond finances. Rajesh struggles with the knowledge that he ignored every instinct telling him something was wrong, that fear had overridden reason. But he has learned something too: scammers succeed because they're skilled at exploiting human psychology, not because victims are foolish.

Red Flags to Watch For

  • Unsolicited call from someone claiming to be government official
  • Pressure to keep call secret from family
  • Repeated requests for money to 'verify identity' or 'clear charges'
  • Threats of arrest, asset freezing, or legal consequences
  • Video calls with fake documents and multiple impersonated officials
  • Demand for immediate action without time to verify claims
  • Insistence on isolation from normal communication

GROK26K Scam Warning? Fake Elon Musk Grok AI Crypto Presale Exposed

Has anyone else looked into GROK26K? The whole thing feels extremely sketchy to me and I figured I should post before more people get baited into it.

They’re heavily pushing the Elon Musk and Grok AI connection everywhere even though I cannot find a single legitimate source confirming any affiliation at all. The website is full of hype language about AI, massive returns, and “exclusive presale access” but almost no real transparency about who is behind the project.

One thing that immediately stood out to me was the fake urgency tactics. The presale countdown keeps resetting and the supply numbers seem designed to pressure people into buying quickly before they “miss out.” That is a massive red flag and something a lot of scam token launches do to create artificial FOMO.

The domain itself also appears extremely new which is another warning sign. Most legitimate projects trying to build trust do not suddenly appear overnight with anonymous teams and aggressive marketing campaigns centered around celebrity names.

I also noticed a lot of suspicious social media activity around it. Tons of low quality comments repeating the same phrases and accounts spamming GROK26K under crypto and Elon related posts. It honestly looks manufactured.

Please be careful connecting wallets to sites like this because many of these fake AI crypto presales end up being wallet drainers or exit scams once enough people send funds. If anyone has more information about who is actually behind GROK26K I would genuinely like to see it because right now it looks incredibly unsafe to me.
