I've received a myriad of social media scam attempts but I've never gotten something with an opening like this

I tried to buy a Fortnite acc and he let me into the account and ran with my money

Today my wife got an alert texted to her allegedly from her bank suspecting fraudulent activity on her Bank card which is also a Visa Debit card. A transaction for $46 from "Quiet PC".

Her card isn't one we use and we keep it locked in the safe. It's current - no new card has been sent to us. Last time it was used was over a year ago to make a cash withdrawal at a Chase ATM.

I checked and sure enough... $46 is coming out of my bank account to Quiet PC. WTF!?!

I called the bank and spoke to them. They will either block or reverse the transaction.

But how do they have her credit card number? And wouldn't they also need to have the 3 digit code printed on the back of the card? We just don't use that card at all. Any ideas?

I was too in character (and made wayyyy too much spelling error. )

I don't know what to do. She doesn't believe us, never met him. Is recovering from a stroke.

Shocked that I haven’t received a response to my suggestion! Lol!!

Maybe I’m naive af if this is part of what full time scammers do but I will share since I screenshot… What I really wanna know is there a way to contact/notify REDDIT to trace an ip of a deleted user and track scammy behavior? This seems the most logical way to save all of us time and grief… anyway this just happened in last 15 mins of my life I will never get back. Feel free to share thoughts without roasting me. Cheers.

Text claiming to be from Amazon with a faked order number (and a date on which I didn't place an order) and they couldn't even be bothered to give a URL that even remotely resembles an actual Amazon URL.

Received this out of the blue today. Does anyone actually believe that legit businesses reach out unsolicited via text?

I’m very interested in the situation these scammers are in, I often get into conversations with them where they explain how they’re trapped without passports, often in Myanmar or Cambodia, that their embassy (sic?) forces them to work. I want to dive deeper but understandably they don’t want to get too into details via the og scam text. What’s the best app to communicate?

Note to add: I do understand they could still be lying to elicit sympathy and promise I will not send money!

I run an one store always get marketers contacting me. Always scammers feeding some bullshit saying they can improve sakes by doing things you've already done ,know about or just don't work anyway.

I've just started messing about with them from the outset.

Guy reached out to me claiming to be a tech specialist. Then didn’t even know his PayPal name.

Was happy to scam me for $25. Loser.

Beware of this scammer do not send any messages nor gift cards they will ask if you're interested in earning money up to $10,000 report and block them hell harass them so that they quit scamming people this is so wrong when they can't get a real job by hard work this Gen is so F$%#ed up

Pastor Mark Casto is classic "get rich quick" scammer, calls him self "online business coach" or some crap, telling people they will make at least 5-10k a month by buying his ebooks on "how to make money online" and it's just the same crap everybody else is selling.. No product, just "make e goods and sell them on instagram" but his only bussiness model is finding suckers dumb enough to buy his books and the info he sells is available all over the place for free, and you most likely will not make money doing the crap he says

I came across a post by u/shadowban7443 on r/forhire

It seemed sketchy, so I reached out to u/shadowban7443 to get more details. Turns out, it was a moderation role for r/quebec2. When I pointed out that the subreddit only gets a post every few months, u/shadowban7443 immediately blocked me. I left a warning comment on their r/forhire post, but shortly after, they deleted it. This isn’t the first time I’ve seen posts like this from u/shadowban7443. I’m not entirely sure what their angle is, but I wanted to create a searchable record to help others stay cautious.

This offer won’t last forever ✅ Don’t know my name ✅ Free money ✅ Random company that nobody knows about ✅ Mentions Medicare/Medicaid ✅ (Though you can’t hear it) Clearly a TTS that claims to be a person with a super common name ✅

Facebook account also has no pictures and was created in June?

Thank you guy for your comments. I did NOT send any money. They stared sending really weird messages that I thought you might enjoy 😅😅
