We have been in business for 31 years and regularly get these emails with a standard description. ",i want to book 4 weeks programs for 4 kids there are home school students,i have 3 (Male)Aged (9, 10 and 12)and 1(Female)Aged (12).no injuries or restrictions they are all beginners have no experience in Kung Fu training, i want the kids to achieve Stretching Flexibility, Self defence, Self confidence, Improved reflexe…etc .Am planning to organize a private driver that will bring them for the entire weeks an willing to pay for more training depends on their improvement for the first 4 weeks. I want you to send me your availability date/time they will be attend for private lessons twice a Week 1hr daily sessions for 4 weeks also get back to me with the total tuition cost include the yearly registration fee? "
The next step is they ask you for your account info so they can deposit their money into our account. The email addresses are always individual no biz affiliation so impossible to track. I’m just so tired of them, I don’t respond anymore but they keep coming. Most martial arts schools would be happy for the chance to charge for what they describe especially when it states they have a private driver to make you believe they are rich.

This individual texted on my phone but instead of using my name he was using my husbands?? He started out asking my husband for a favor!
He then signed off in our PASTOR’s name!!
I showed my husband the text from the “pastor” & he immediately called him back to learn that this was not him!
My husband then texted back on my phone to see what the person wanted. They texted back 2 EBay gift cards 200.00 each. I told them the store was out, so they said to get ITunes cards instead! This is where I called them out on being a scammer & using a man of God! They have not texted back at that number but today I received another text similar 1 (910) 670-1851 this person addresses me as someone else & needs me to text them back immediately. I ignored this one!!

Type of a scam Fake Check/Money Order
I received two deposits in my Venmo account for 2300 and 2375 and a sob story with a request to please return. I contacted customer service and told them to do the same. They contacted me several times via venmo asking that I send it ASAP…. so about an hour later (when their funds didn’t clear in sure) my balance disappeared…bet if I had initiated a $4675 transfer to "return" their money I would be on the hook for the transfer.

Here is the email received. I am sure it is a scam, but I thought it is important this is reported.
I know, INSERTED A VERY OLD PASSWORD HERE, is your password.
I require your total attention for the the next 24 hrs, or I may make sure you that you live out of guilt for the rest of your lifetime.
Hey, you don’t know me. Yet I know everything regarding you. Your entire facebook contact list, phone contacts plus all the online activity in your computer from past 131 days.
And this includes, your masturbation video, which brings me to the primary motive why I ‘m crafting this specific mail to you.
Well the last time you went to the porn web sites, my malware ended up being activated in your pc which ended up documenting a lovely video clip of your masturbation act simply by activating your web camera.
(you got a tremendously odd preference btw haha)
I own the entire recording. In the case you think I ‘m messing around, just reply proof and I will be forwarding the recording randomly to 5 people you know.
It may be your friend, co workers, boss, parents (I don’t know! My software will randomly choose the contact details).
Will you be capable to look into anyone’s eyes again after it? I question that…
However, it does not need to be that route.
I’m going to make you a one time, no negotiable offer.
Purchase USD 2000 in bitcoin and send it on the listed below address:
b***c1q40q6pdaqd2ajj8gq90rzvj9pcvkvcw7dhc3q0e
[CASE SENSITIVE, copy & paste it, and remove *** from it]
(If you do not know how, look online how to purchase bitcoin. Do not waste my valuable time)
If you send out this particular ‘donation’ (let us call it that?). After that, I will go away for good and under no circumstances contact you again. I will get rid of everything I have got about you. You may very well continue living your normal day to day life with zero concern.
You’ve got 24 hours in order to do so. Your time will begin as quickly you read this e mail. I have an unique program code that will notify me as soon as you go through this e mail therefore do not try to act smart.

I had received a call that I owed money, no name of entity was give, and that there would be a warrant for my arrest if I did not call back. I knew it was a scam.
