I was called and told to pay up a medical bill which was not mine! I don't keep any bills unpaid for long. This call is a scam. Hang up if they call you!
You have won $500 worth free travel vouchers from Costco! Fake Costco member offers! Beware! This has nothing to do with Costco. You could get scammed into paying for a bogus travel package!
The caller said I won money from American Dream Foundation. Asked me to pay taxes $7500 to receive 750,000 prize money! Told him to ply his stupid trick elsewhere!
The caller said there was a subpoena against my name based on a civil complaint and that I need to call or have "your lawyer" call them! As if we retain lawyers whole year round! Nasty scare tactic indeed!
The female said her name was Betty Thompson! But she had a fake accent and was certainly an alien or an illegal immigrant trying to scam you
This is my favorite scam robo-call. The bad grammar in the robo-call makes me laugh every time. So much a non-english speaker who just used a translation engine and then make a robo phrase out of it. I just want to have them keep calling so I can get a good laugh every time. Who would believe this was real. No gov't employee calls it your "social" over a phone line. duhhhh
Fake Directv marketer. Offers 50% discount on future bills if we send him 5 months advance! Cool scam!
Left voice mail posing as a. FBI employee. Attempts to scare you to extort money

Lisa about internetprofit.org
Received a voicemail that Amazon is hiring 23 people to work out of the comfort of their homes, and directs me to go to internet profit.org to "complete"my application. I haven't started an application. Does Amazon know someone is using their company's name to scam people?
Suspicious voice message asking you to go to internetprofit.org as Amazon is hiring 23 people in your area to work from the comfort of your home. Well spoken American sounding voice on the other end. I did not respond as I have not applied for any such position.
Just had an extremely similar run in as Brice described- this “Travis” guy claims to be from Texas, and wants an “online arrangement” to send $500/week in exchange for constant erotic pictures and videos. I googled his name and number and found this site so just went along with it some more to see how far it would go... He asks for all financial information- even began demanding my social security number claiming he needed it for “security reasons to transfer funds.”
I blocked him after this as it was just getting too creepy and the tone of his messages changed to be angry.
Do yourself a favor- avoid this man and this phone number!

What are the popular SMS/Text Message Scams?
Spam texts (SMS Messages) are sent by computers, bots or apps programmed to spit out hundreds of messages every minute. Scammers expect only a very small percentage of recipients to respond. To increase the chance of successful hits, scammers flood mobile phone networks with millions of messages. Their ultimate aim is financial gain by defrauding unwary recipients who respond assuming that the spam text message they received is legit. Report at Myrmillo.com.
It's important for you to be aware of various types of SMS scams and hence be guarded.
Lottery / Sweepstakes Spam Texts
The fraud business of making money by sending spam SMS commenced with "lottery winner" scam! It's wide spread across the globe. Unwary recipients are amazed to hear they have been "randomly" selected to win a large prize. Scammers use names of well known corporations including Coca Cola, Pepsi, Apple, Microsoft to make the text appear legit. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Bank Account or Credit / Debit Card Suspension
Text message disguised to make it appear as if sent by your bank or your credit card service provider could make the recipient call back or click a phishing link, all designed to steal account credentials. Deceived users panic when they are alerted by unauthorized debits. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Fake Loan Spam Texts
Scammers send bogus messages informing users that their loan application is approved and to get back to them, to receive funds in their bank accounts. The deceived user ends up making an advance fee payment for a loan which never existed. Dubious websites collect loan applications and pass on the phone numbers of unsuspecting customers to criminal networks, for a fee. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Bogus Debt Collection Spam Texts
Fake debt collectors and bogus law firms, send out messages about unpaid debts. Same message is sent to thousands of people, at the same time! Someone who may have defaulted on a loan could get scammed into believing that the message, is in fact, from his creditor and end up paying money which does nothing, to reduce his debt. Report at Myrmillo.com.
IRS, HMRC Tax Demand Scam
In US, Canada and the UK, messages demanding tax payments are a major source of fraud. The messages are largely sent out by scam operators in foreign countries who have local agents to collect "tax" from panicking tax payers. Once a tax payer reverts, the fake tax agents threaten arrest & to freeze bank accounts. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Free Grant Money Spam Texts
Like tax fraud, grant money texts also originate largely from foreign shores. Scammers assures victims that they were selected by the Government due to their clean criminal record and for not being bankrupt!! You would wonder how anyone could fall for such stupid scam! But according to the FTC, every year, citizens collectively lose millions of dollars, in this scam. Report at Myrmillo.com.
Unauthorized Charges
People complain of receiving sudden alerts from their banks or credit card providers about debit of money (usually in small denominations, under $100) which they had not spent or authorized. The unauthorized charges are often result of a preceding phishing scam where the user would have unknowingly shared his banking info with scammers. Report at Myrmillo.com.
