The caller (young-sounding, American accent) calls a military spouse and identifies herself as a representative from the Red Cross. The caller states that the spouse's husband (not identified by name) was hurt while... read full review »

PayDayFlash
866-583-2819 Just like with everyone else, "Adrienne" called our house and left a message. She/He/It Spoke so fast that it was hard to make out most of the number or even the company name. We must have played the message back 10 times just to be able to understand it. We heard Bay, Data, Flash, garbled nonsense.
This is clearly a SCAM because my wife did NOT apply for ANY type of loan anywhere!
I WILL be reporting this call directly to the BBB, the FCC, as well as to the Office of the Attorney General - Edmund G. Brown Jr, a... read full review »
StairSupplies
I was issued an RGA to return excess materials my contractor ordered. The RGA was dated 12/22/2010. The company verified they received my goods and would be issuing a credit shortly. However, as of 5/12/2011 I still have not heard from the company. They have promised to have their accounting department get back with me when I have called and have ignored certified letters they have received (one sent by my attorney). They have MY PROPERTY and have not paid me. That makes this a theft in my book. Stay away from StairSupplies.com they are... read full review »

Adventure RV
After calling Adventure RV & Truck Center in Wichita, for an RV rental, we were told we could come out & view what they had available for the week we requested. We were shown a nice RV with a slide-out, very clean and was told we would get THAT RV we were shown. We were very impressed, pleased & excited to rent the RV. It looked brand new, it was very well kept. As a side comment, the salesman stated there was an "identical twin", but it was just returned and was being cleaned, so he couldn't show us, but he could... read full review »

Mom of little girl getting Botox
That mother is absolutely nuts. That poor child is going to be screwed for the rest of her life. She should be arrested for child abuse. No child should be put through that. Botox is a bad bad thing for kids! Mentally and physically. Medically she has no reason to get the injections. Why is it that these moms who put their kids into pageants are not attractive, over weight and plain stupid. What in their childhood or adulthood did they or are they missing? I really don't understand. Let that cute little girl be a little girl. We... read full review »
Mounts Made Simple
If you are wanting a smooth transaction in a timely fashion, look elsewhere. This company runs your card transaction immediately then you wait and wait and wait for your merchandise. In fact I am still waiting. I would definitely not recommend this company for business. I called numerous times and receive lots of excuses and am told it has shipped but it never seems to arrive. They list on the their site their shipping times, but don't expect that these are accurate. There are too many other companies that are reputable that sell the same merchandise. I suggest you look into these. read full review »
Debthelp55.com
Just received yet another TXT message on my cell that states "debthelp55 . com Homeowners, we can lower your mortgage payment by doing a Loan Modification. Late on payments OK. No equity OK. May we please give you a call?" Not sure who these people are, but I WILL be reporting the TXT and the Website for Spamming Me, as I did NOT request any such information, and my cell number IS on the Do Not Call list. Plus, I have a limited TXT plan and this is just one more unrequested message that goes against my bill. Will file a complaint with AT&T, and have already reported it to the FCC. read full review »

They called me at 5:00 am, and I didn't answer. When they called again at 5:20 am, I answered and asked them why they were calling me at 5:00 am and what they were calling about. It was not automated; it was a person, and she was at least polite. She said they were calling about an "investment opportunity". I asked her to not call again. read full review »

Cheyenne Pease Carter
I had abhorrent experiences with Cheyenne Pease-Carter, PhD, LPC, several years ago when I was a counseling student at The University of North Texas. At the time she was earning her doctorate and she was teaching an undergraduate level course. During my experiences with her she blurted out insulting innuendo on a regular basis; she used a cutting and flippant tone of voice with me on a regular basis; she made it obvious that she had biases and hate towards me but she refused to sit down and deliberate on the issues in an honest manner when I... read full review »

Purchase from this company only if you wish to be verbally abused by the owner, not have your calls returned, expect to keep the dress even if it doesn't fit and don't expect a receipt when the item is shipped.

Yet another reason to check those emails thoroughly, even if this is a late warning. Not all scammers are tech retards and stuck to using yahoo (or other free email services) these days -
Quote:
Scammers too, know Dilbert.
On their way to search for clean IPs through which to send out yet another scam email, 419 con-artists (Mrs Sharon Goetz Massey) have recently started using Dilbert.com’s recommendation feature in an attempt to bypass anti-spam filters — and it works. The use of Dilbert.com’s clean IP reputation comes a month after 419 scammers used the same tactic on NYTimes.com ‘email this’ feature. read full review »
Pepsi-Cola North America
We recently learned of a mail fraud scam that is falsely using the PepsiCo name. It claims that individuals have won "one million dollars" and a chance to appear on TV to win one billion dollars. They also offer a check for thousands of dollars, in exchange for personal information. This is currently being mailed to some consumers’ homes and we want the public to be alerted that PepsiCo did not initiate, nor does it endorse this activity. The check is not ours and has no value. We do not use these types of incentives for the... read full review »

Lately our forum and numerous others have been spammed with hidden links. The usual tactic is to post an insignificant reply in an existing thread, and to include a hidden link either in invisible text (matching our background color code), or hidden behind a smily.
This type of black hat SEO spamming is against Google's terms of service and is usually associated with throwaway domains that are not expected to have a long life, such as porn sites or online drug sellers.

John S Pistole
A spam e-mail claiming to be from FBI Deputy Director John S. Pistole is currently being circulated. This attempt to defraud is the typical e-mail scam using the name and reputation of an FBI official to create an air of authenticity.
As with many scams, the e-mail advises the recipient that they are the beneficiary of a large sum of money which they will be permitted to access once fees are paid and personal banking information is provided. The appearance of the e-mail leads the reader to believe that it is from FBI Deputy Director John... read full review »
