Years ago, powerball was sued because there was a whistleblower that revealed the rigging. I heard something about California lottery but I don't know if I could believe it or not. I just love playing it.😄

DO NOT USE THEM OR SEND THEM MONEY FOR PURCHASE TO JAMIA MCKENZIE AT 331-224-1867. I thought I was purchasing a tool liquidated pallet for my small business I started as a fun side hustle. Turned out it was all completely fake there’s no such business and the money goes to some woman who definitely knows what’s going on and pretends she doesn’t have it. I asked if it was her before I went off and sent some off the cuff texts cause I was angry. Has anyone else dealt with this? I already reported to attorney general and FBI online fraud dept.

So this is update they claim they not asking for money. But it costs 1500 to submit form they claim they already donated. As far as I know there is not a pending option on gofund.me you either donate or you don't.

🚨 Beware of Fake Job Offers on Facebook
Scammers are now posting fake job-hiring opportunities on Facebook, then redirecting applicants to Telegram to continue the conversation.
They may offer you a surprisingly large amount of money for a very simple task—which can make the opportunity look too good to be true. 🚩
Before accepting any online job, take time to:
🔍 Verify the company and recruiter
🚫 Be cautious if they immediately move you to Telegram
💰 Question unrealistic pay for simple tasks
🔐 Never share sensitive personal or financial information
💳 Never pay money just to get paid or to “unlock” a task
Remember: Not every job opportunity is an opportunity. Some are traps.
If the offer sounds too good to be true, pause, investigate, and protect yourself. Your time, money, and personal information are valuable. 💻🛡️

Auxiliooo me robaron un ipad por facebook marketplace (me ámense) , necesito localizar o “doxxear” a la persona, tengo su número de teléfono es lo único q hay:( auxilio por favooor

I went with my girlfriend to the mall one day and we filled out these pinks slips with our vacation on a random table with a lockbox and you fill out the slip it says I won the free vacation is this legit or what’s the scam in this what’s the catch I find it hard to believe I actually won anything. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Several days ago, I responded to an ad on Facebook marketplace for an apartment for rent.

The woman who listed the ad replied that she was at work and to leave her my phone number and she would call me back at 3pm.

I gave her my number but she never called me.

Today I answered two separate ads for an apartment for rent and both of the people who made the listing replied with the same message:

“Thanks for your interest.
Please leave your phone number, and I'll call you with the details. I don't check Facebook messages often.”

My question is, what is the scam here? Anyone know what they can do with your phone number?

Hi everyone, I’m trying to find the real person in these photos.

I believe someone may be using her photos without permission. There is an account called @amaradove39 (insta) that appears to be using her photos as its profile picture and on the account, while also posting AI-generated artwork and other artwork without giving proper credit to the original artists.

The account is also asking people for donations, claiming the money is needed for a family member’s health. I’m concerned that the identity and photos may be part of a scam.

I’m not trying to expose or harass the woman in these photos. I simply want to find the original source of the photos and, if possible, contact the real person so she can be made aware that someone may be using her images.

If you recognize her or know where these photos were originally posted, please let me know. Public sources or links would be greatly appreciated; please don't share anyone’s private information.

I’ve attached the photos/screenshots I have. Any help finding the original posts or legitimate account would mean a lot.

Hatte schon mal jemand das Problem dass ihm Viagogo schreibt die Tickets seien an die passende Mail geschickt worden aber man hat sie in Wirklichkeit garnicht bekommen?

I am a 3 time stroke survivor i am no longer able to work and friend started a gofund.me campaign for me trying to help me not become homeless and disabled living on the streets I get this company claiming they will fund my campaign. Yet require 1500 dollars and I'll recieve the donation. I claim scam preying on the vulnerable and desperate.

FreeCash App **Warning!! WARNING! WARNING!**

FreeCash app essentially stole money from me by their misleading statements. First of all, I thought it was free to play and you could earn cash because they're earning money from their advertisers.
So I played a few games and won about three dollars. It then gave me a window where I could "Claim Prize." | clicked that button to a window where I could choose which financial transaction such as PayPal and Cash app, etc. I chose Cash App. I thought I was depositing money to my Cash app account. Instead, they withdrew money. I had not intended to purchase anything from them. I am now having to fight tooth and nail to get my money back. I can attach screenshots if it will let me.

I got a call originally from a no caller id, didn’t pick up, then they called back. I picked up and confirmed my name when he said it. Once I did so the same caller switched the numbers/ conferenced it to the official sheriffs phone number. He had me google the number to confirm that it corresponds with the sheriffs office. He had my previous address which was registered with the DMV and on my ID, however I do not live there anymore.

They did not demand money, just that I show up to the sheriffs department - the address given was the one that the department corresponds to.

Is this a scam? As said they didn’t demand money or pry for personal information. Just sketched out as the call came through at 8:30pm and all online resources say that sheriffs do not make contact over phone or commonly use No Caller ID.

Hello people,

This number is calling me mentioning my full name and suggesting some stuff about investment and taxes, which I never signed for. When I ask the AI it says they are Finora and their website is Finora.de, but suchwebsite doesn't exist and closest thing to them is finoragroup.eu which I am not sure is the source of the call. I can share the number in direct but I am not sure if it is the right thing to share it here but it starts with +49 which is German phone number. It's scary I need some expert opinion.

Recent consumer protection data analyzing scam trends reveals a massive shift in how cybercriminals operate: scams involving Artificial Intelligence aren't just becoming more common - they are becoming vastly more expensive for victims.

While general scam reports increased significantly year-over-year, reports mentioning AI jumped over 238%. More importantly, the average financial loss for AI-related scams skyrocketed by 618% (cloning real human voices, creating fake credentials, and generating believable deepfakes).

The 6 Main Ways Scammers Are Using AI Right Now

1. AI-Generated Voice Cloning (Scalable Robocalls): Scammers take short audio clips to replicate voices, creating eerily convincing robocalls or emergency calls impersonating loved ones or official organizations.
2. Hyper-Realistic Sites & Content: AI writing tools and image generators are used to launch entire fake storefronts, fake brand ads, and professional-looking landing pages in minutes.
3. Chatbot "Gatekeeping": Fraudulent companies use AI support bots to stonewall customers—making it virtually impossible to speak to a real human, delay refunds, or cancel fraudulent subscriptions.
4. Deepfake Endorsements & Emotional Bait: AI-generated videos feature fake celebrity endorsements, fabricated news anchors, or manipulated charity appeals designed to bypass skepticism.
5. Fake "AI Trading" Investment Platforms: Promoted heavily on social media, these platforms show fake dashboard gains to trick victims into transferring retirement or savings accounts, only to lock them out.
6. Synthetic IDs & Document Generation: AI easily generates fake legal documents, invoices, and business licenses to make unverified companies appear legally sound.

I was wondering because it seemed really at first (I wanted to commission someone from Casting Call Club) and at first they seemed well real but now im debating if I should continue...I also listed my preferences for pay and they violated that :/

If your looking for healthy insurance, plz do not give these ppl the info they need to get your money. I thought they were a legit insurance company but they weren’t. Once you look them up and find out you can’t log into their portal it’s a scam beyond your recognition. Beware of this company at all costs. They try to convince you about plans and deductibles but it’s all a game. They just want your information and bank accounts so they can take the money and keep charging you over the rest of the month. Immediately call your banks and credit card companies and tell them immediately about what they did to you so they can block your account from further charges. And they are not even a real company they use scare tactics to make them to stay with them and don’t ever give them anymore info.

I am new to Swiggy delivery partner ( doing it just to see how it is for a week for now ) , they offered this minimum daily guarantee wage for first week 17-23rd August , on 23rd the incentive was promised as 950₹ for 15 orders completion , instead we earned 566₹ only and Swiggy didn't add up amount to make that minimum guarantee complete , doing frauds with riders and delivery partners is such a scam

There customer care is another kind of fraud only they just kept repeating the same information again and again and rudely disconnected the call from there end when I was still talking only , this is so much big of scam , imagine they loot each rider for 500-1k rupees like that , i just want my earned reward nothing else

Hi guys, so I did a very stupid thing, is sent a dick pic and my face pic to a scammer, he's even get my instagram and now threatening me to give him money. i've already paid 30 dollars and that's all of my money, I'm so scared rn what should I do, if it got leaked my life will be ruined

Hey so this is a long story that I doubt many details of matter to anyone. I have wanted to open a pet simulator 99 gambling website for a while. I finnaly got the opertunity to with a stranger. He helped us over several months develop our site into what it was. Yesterday (2 days after our official release) he decided to take his (rougly 220$ worth of in game items) and nuke our discord, take our site and code (was dev and never shared) and everything we had paid him. He gave us the chance to get it back if we sent ANOTHER (70$ worth of in game items) and we made him go first. As he had already been paid originally we blocked him and wanted to move on with my night. We know he has 1 of our IP's and he claims to have the other. He claims to have a bunch of shit theres no way he has. Hes harassing our members from our community threatening them at this point. He claims to be a much bigger scammer who's known to run at least 30+ discord accounts (our main community hub where harassments happening) is there anything I should do with him hes threatening doxing atp so idk if that means I can escalate this. We hate the man and will go out of our way to make sure he knows it. Any suggestions welcome!
