Scammers continue to exploit job seekers, but the "Shopper Needed" scam isn't just enlisting innocent folks into illegal money laundering activities. The scam is also exploiting the good name of JM Ridgway, a legitimate professional shopper service. Bear that in mind when reading the copy below - though the scammers use the name Ridgway, it is not affiliated in any way with the real JM Ridgway company. The shopper-needed scam sends the 'new hire' a check for a few hundred dollars, instructing them to cash the check and... read full review »

This company took over management after Fannie Mae foreclosed on the fourplex that we've lived in for two years prior. We signed a new lease under the ProtectingRentersatForeclosureActof2009, signed by pres. Oboma.

I will never have anything to do with them again, if I live through the constant stress. I suggest no one else gets tangled in thier web of deciet. read full review »

I frequent Panera Bread both in Glastonbury, CT and Bristol, CT and usually have decent food and friendly service. Today, while ordering the 'pick 2", the "sales person" (Shannon) started arguing with me about what I ordered. I assured her I knew what I had ordered since I was reading from the menu. She became "agitated" and after a short debate she decided to submit my order as I ordered it. She was visibly angry and grabbed my money and then threw the change down on the counter. I complained to the resident GM who... read full review »

I am a small business owner. I was contacted by Keith Devoe asking if I had any jobs in the contracting business that he could bid for me. He was a referral from a friend so I gave him a shot. The job was sold and completed. When it came for payment Keith out-smarted me and collected from the home owner. He was paid and I received nothing. I have spoken to him on a number of occasions and he states that he doesn’t owe me any money and for that matter he doesn’t have any money. Do not do business with this thief! read full review »

Well, I received a Fandango gift card for Christmas, and I finally used it to see a movie. First they try to pressure you into purchasing the tickets fast before you can think about it because they have a countdown clock in the corner "you have this much time before your tickets are released to someone else". Then I purchase the tickets, and there was a service fee that did not come up on the invoice prior to submission. Really sketchy business practices. read full review »

Vulnerable seniors, who spend the majority of their time at home, are perfect targets for the mobile scam artist. Smooth-talking fraudsters can convincingly get themselves invited inside to deliver any imaginable sales pitch for products or services. Common among these are the home repair, door-to-door scams. Home repair scam operators appear unannounced at the home and then proceed to "discover" one or a series of "defects" with the house, from shoddy roofing, to cracked driveways, to dangerous electrical wiring or plumbing... read full review »

Tourists traveling to Mexico are often offered local tours at a lower-than-advertised price by O.P.C.’s (outside public contacts) which work for the timeshare organizations.

The first time was to me and I knew it was a scam, but I am a small woman and was alone so I gave the guy $10 just so he would go away and hopefully leave me alone.

I have been street scammed twice with the first happening a few years ago when I was 17 and working for an upscale doughnut shop selling pretzels. On my morning shift, when the place is not so busy, an guy about fifty in a tacky suit came in, bought a pretzel and a soda, and spoke to some of us employees in a friendly manner, I think in an attempt to garner trust. Then, about an hour later while I was out giving away samples to people walking the street he came over and questioned me about who I was and what I did. He complemented me on my... read full review »

Have you just received a letter in the post from ‘Domain Registry of America’ (DRoA), urging you to pay them for renewing your domain name? The paper, with a London address on the back, looks like a bill and tries to scare the reader with “Your registration will expire on May 10, 2005. Act today!” Don’t worry about your domain, this is a scam! There is no need for you to renew now, and certainly not with DRoA!

I purchased an E Series Desktop machine from Wal-Mart on January 7, 2010. This computer was purchased solely for the use of my two young daughters (3 & 4 years old at the time). They used it on average of 5 to 8 hours per week to play games on websites such as PBS kids and Nick Jr. In addition, they downloaded pictures from their toy cameras and my older daughter occasionally typed on the word processor. The only other use was if we had a guest in our home that needed to check e-mail or use the internet, which probably happened less than 10... read full review »

DROA mailed millions of such renewal notices captioned 'IMPORTANT NOTICE' to urge consumers to act quickly to avoid 'Register Lock' or... read full review »

One of the businesses I do work for was fooled into sending money to Domain Registry of America. That's really not surprising considering the way they work. See this story from The Register earlier this year. They send out official looking notices that unsuspecting busy people will often pay. Fortunately our current register, GoDaddy, does not allow the transfer to take place unless the contact of record confirms it. DROA charges $40.00 for what GD wants $18.00. Not a lot of money but why should you give these kind of crook... read full review »
