So I got this random threatening text saying I caused a “VIP client” financial loss and need to pay a fine or they’ll “send people” to my house. 😭
The funny part is they called me “Alex” when my name isn’t even Alex, . I’ve never talked to any VIP person or done anything like that.
Is this just a scam/extortion text? Has anyone else gotten messages like this?

I’m not sure what community I put this on , I do a prank call with my friend and he told them he has high(not actually) and they said they were gonna send the phone number to the drug enforcement team am I done for what can I do to protect myself and my number from this since I know carriers can track where the call took place at and even though it’s a secondary number I don’t wanna lose that number if I need to put this in a different community please tell me where
so to make a long story short, I get a call (that I now know was a scam) and they claimed to be calling about fraudulent activity and ended up hacking into my account by 'verifying' information and the scammers etransferred themselves around $10k from my personal chequing and business savings accounts. I called the bank immediately after it happened and I saw the fraudulent transactions, but I am terrified of my identity being stolen and getting none of the money back from the bank. You can clearly tell they are I consistent with my spending habits as it's like 10 e-transfers back to back with new payees added to the account in the same hour. I also filed a police report and called Equifax but it's 2am and I am spiralling and would love some insight/helpful words thank you so much 💕
Pls help find
Absolute shit bag scammer. Pretended to sell me tickets for a graduation. Claimed weren't getting Zelle payment, then sent fake Zelle texts saying payment was rejected. Called them out on it and blocked immediately.
Small amount of money but if they are doing this often, money adds up.

I was scammed by an individual from Morocco over electronic goods. I trusted him as a brother and sent him money, as did several others through Telegram. Shortly after receiving the funds, he blocked everyone and acted as if nothing had happened.
What’s even more frustrating is that he is now giving away the money he stole from us as "prizes" in his Telegram channel, which clearly shows he doesn’t even need the money. I have tracked him down and advised him multiple times to return the funds, but he refuses to cooperate.
I am posting this in hopes that someone can help convince him to return the money. I have successfully gathered his phone numbers, full names, and have all the evidence of the theft ready. If you can help, please contact me, and I will provide all the details.
