My mother was called today. Told she won $225, 000 from a Megabox Sweepstakes. She was called by "John Rogers" who claimed to be a Pastor in Pennsylvania. He was very convincing and even though she knew from the start that this was a Scam, she was still interested enough that she wanted me to call to check it out. He told her something about eventually doing something at Western Union, but I am not sure of the details he gave. He gave her the return phone number of 876-875-3491. This area code appears to be from Jamaica. I did a Google... read full review »

Here is an example of a scam, I only knew because I googled the email address and it brought me to other sites scams here. It looks like this last name has been used for previous versions of this scam, "Anna Halley" <[email protected]> The email looks very legit, even had a couple pictures. What threw me was the odd email address and the lowball price. Don't fall for it. Hi, The MacBook Air is still available, but I'm currently in London, United Kingdom. Because of the financial crisis, I lost... read full review »

Brace yourself for minutes-long menus that give option after option that don't apply to your problem and simply repeat the same choices over and over. The hold time jumps. The customer service reps are apparently instructed to repeat the same lines no matter what you ask, no matter how much you try to get information other than what they are told to say. Every time I attempted to do something online it told me "unavailable." Of course, they can get away with the most inconvenient service since what are you going to do, say, "cancel my electricity?" read full review »

We were able to get Western Union to block my mother from sending anymore money to these con artist. However, they are now asking her to send a Money Gram. We are still talking and talking. My siblings are involved and we are starting to go down the list that Son of Scam wrote about. The big payoff did not come on the 5th. But yesterday, they received a call from Mr. Carter #876-848-2743. My parents had now won $16, 000.00 and are going to put the bad con artist in Jail. My parents just need to send $200.00 to Beatrice Mjaland at 1021 Cedar... read full review »

Here's yet ANOTHER number to add to the list 876-504-3168. My elderly Father took a call from a Mr. Green at this number telling him to send $300 to his account and NOT to talk to anyone but him. Of course I have control over his finances and such so he didn't give them any information. I wrote down the phone number from the caller ID and realized it was coming from the West Indies. How the hell do we stop these Rasta Head scammers?? I told my Father NOT to answer anymore phone calls unless he recognizes the name. There's GOT to be some way to stop these bastards. read full review »

My mother got a call from someone claiming to be Omar Jansen today. She was to call 876-583-1222. He provided a UPS package # (invalid number), bank account # (bank name curiously absent), etc... all in an effort to prove that he was legit. He said that she won 8 million related to Publisher's Clearing House and that this package was coming to her. He spoke with heavy accent but because his name was Omar, my mother thought he was Arab. Anyway, thank goodness she did not provide any information or give money to this person. She called me... read full review »

My Grandparents have been getting these calls (you won all this money and a car etc) thankfully they came to me and were concerned that these people were coming after them for something) I am sure I will have a huge phone bill but I started calling the numbers that were calling my grandparents and talked to "Robert Dawson" and I told him that I had a message saying i won some money and i wanted to know how to claim it...

People across Avon and Somerset are being warned about a new lottery scam. A pensioner in Clevedon has lost Pounds 7, 000 after falling victim to the deception. He was asked to cash several cheques and leave the money in a Western Union deposit box. He had received a call from a man going by the name of 'Mark' who said he had won the Spanish lottery. The phone call was made from a withheld number and was received on a landline. Anyone who receives a similar call is urged to contact police on 0845 456 7000. read full review »

Yesterday received a call on my cell from 876-427-3802. A woman (heavy accent) stated she was from Bank of America in New York, stated my home address correctly, and said she was holding a $75, 000 check that I had won thru a sweepstakes entry (which I never entered). All I needed to do was pay a processing fee of $260. I laughed and stated I did not believe this was legit. I asked to speak to the bank manager - who was of course not available, but would call back. Later I called the number that appeared on my cell (just to see) and got a... read full review »

After 5 months of underwriting review, my refinancing loan was denied right before rate-lock expiration. Loan processor represented that the underwriter (an outsourced 3rd party company hired by Bank of America/Merrill Lynch mortgage) gave the following reasons: 1. Appraised value was too low ( in response, I submitted 4 additional sold comps to support the higher value to satisfy the LTV requirements) 2. W2 Income came from multiple sources thus only one employer income qualifies to calculate Income-to-Debt Ratio (in response, I showed 4... read full review »

My mother fell for the "Car and cash prize winner" bit hook line and sinker. She had enough sense to tell me, but only after seven wire transfers totaling over 6000US dollars. They called often enough so that I could record several conversations between my mother and the scammers. I found it shocking that despite it sounding obviously manufactured and artificial, my mother bought into their story so completely. Astonishing that the US DOJ has not put a stop to this. I doubt the Jamaican gov't has the capacity or will to... read full review »

Mildred Rice daily receives many phone calls from Jamaica, and it's not because she is trying to plan a white-sand vacation in the Caribbean. It's not unusual for Rice, who is 80 years old and has been taking care of her 102-year-old mother for the last five years, to receive as many as 30 calls a day. Her caller ID shows that most of the calls are "out of area" or from Jamaica. "The calls have driven us about crazy, " Rice said. Calls and letters from supposed foreign lotteries in places such as Europe, China... read full review »

My disabled uncle has been getting these calls fom this no. 876-281-0530 and they want him to send $500.00 bucks to a Bishopville, SC through Western Union to James Sams. Afterwards they would route him $18, 000, 000.00! Wow, I mean like that’s awesome. So he told me about it. So I decide to call them myself, got a Jamaican on the phone, I told him I couldn’t understand him and for him to put his manager on the phone. He did, but it was him with a slightly deeper voice, so I tell him I prefer to speak to a female...up oohh... so he puts me on hold for 5 minutes...comes back using his woman voice read full review »

I ordered an item for my daughter- it took a month to arrive. When it did, it was in the wrong size and had been personalized incorrectly. I reached out to them via phone- their customer service line has been disconnected. When I reached someone by email, he was pretty unresponsive, refused to identify himself, insisted I spend money to further return it, and actually began a customer service email, "Dude". read full review »

I received scam phone calls wanting me to call an 876 number. The men are trying to tell me that have won 2.5 million and also the reimbursement of the money I have been scammed for. The names being used are Mark Mozalo and Mark Mc? You can tell these are not Americans by their accent. The phone numbers they are using are 876-492-6493 and 876-302-9115. There are two men working back to back to get you to pay a portion of the money. Started out wanting 387.00 then said they would pay half. When I told them I would pay nothing they became upset and hung up on me. read full review »

Kelly Anderson of Bond Tile & Stone, Inc. did not obtain a permit from the City of Forest Lake which he was supposed to do and then said you don’t need one after the project was started. He applied a glob of thinset behind each 12 x 12 tile and stuck it on the durock, rather than troweling thinset all over the durock as it should be done. This left large gaps around each of the tiles. I pointed it out and he said he had to do that because the wall wasn’t straight which wasn’t true. The studs in the wall need to be... read full review »

This company is a small 'home-town' company who wants to play with the big boys (Orkin, Terminix, etc..). The owner actually was Terminix district manager for years (if that tells you anything). I went to work for them with the promises of 'big pay' and a 'great family atmosphere'. Well, the pay started out well and slowly went down hill the longer I worked there. We were paid on production, as a lot of companies do, and that is such a beautiful way to pay your employees. You can give them a few 'paying'... read full review »

I just got my ticket for the Lady Gaga Concert in the Bank Atlantic Center in Sunrise Fl., I can’t believe that they charged me almost double the ticket price and I only realized this after I got the ticket at home since it had the real ticket prize. Actual ticket value $53, they charged $92 + $20 for processing and a $15 delivery fee. To make matters worst the ticket I get is a printed page from ticket master that I could have printed myself at home. I have to say I feel completely cheated by this service, besides the fact that the... read full review »

My neighbor called me yesterday to help figure out why she didn't have sound on her new computer. The salesman told her it didn't need speakers when she bought it so we couldn't understand why the computer help section kept telling us she needed to plug in the speakers. We called Best Buy and the Geek Squad and got the run around for a while. Finally a salesman told her that she needed speakers and it would cost an additional $20. Since when does anyone sell computers without sound/speakers? Due to their ignorance of what they... read full review »

I received a mailing from AARP encouraging me to renew my membership and receive a FREE Travel Bag. I called AARP to find out when my membership expired, and was told in two years. I asked them why I had received this misleading mailing, leading me to believe it was time to renew my membership, and was told they want all of their subscribers to have the opportunity to get the FREE Travel Bag. I stated that this mailing was bordering on fraudulent, since most people will not call to check and see when their membership expires, and will believe... read full review »

Anyone notice that when you were given Starz free for one year your bill was increased by $5? I did. I called and spoke to a billing rep, David, who explained to me that this was entirely coincidental. I told him that I felt that the rates were already cost prohibitive and this "coincidence " of a free service and a rate increase seemed highly suspect. He tried to connect me with a supervisor, but they were all busy. He then offered to reduce my bill by $5 and remove my "free" Starz from my account. I then explained that thi... read full review »

My mother called me about my dad having heart problems on the Carnival cruise Conquest after only one day out to sea. She asked me to contact her doctor and get them to call her. Well, they would not call her because of the $9.50 a minute charges. Therefore, when she called me back, I gave her the email for the doctor. I called the 1-877-225-7447 number and gave my credit card number. When the phone rang, someone answered it and I asked for my mom's cabin and was put on hold for over a whole song.

DON'T use this site. I used it to apply for a few credit cards last year, and immediately afterward my once very private email address was either sold and/or left unsecured by them, and I now get endless SPAM (most of it financial-related spam of course.) They either sold my email address, or are very lacking in site security. Considering they want SS# on applications, that is very unacceptable and dangerous. Oh, and when I've emailed them about this issue, they NEVER reply/respond. read full review »
