Total money lost $450

Type of a scam Tech Support

The last 3 months since I’ve ordered something online someone been making large amounts of transactions off my card. I didn’t find out until about a month ago when I downloaded my card transactions app and seen the transaction. And when I called the number I could tell the individuals wasn’t professional or anything but I didn’t to much of it after they sent my refund. But they keep taking money off my card and have to keep continuously call them and do the same thing over and I’m sick of it please someone help me cause some transactions I haven’t got back. And I really can’t afford this to keep happening.

Type of a scam Employment

I received phone call from this number and lady read me back my personal information ( name, address, phone number) which I submitted to Employ Florida portal as requested by Unemployment Office. She did not ask for any SS number or account number but she immediately redirected my call to "career advisor" who after 2 min talk wanted to forward my phone number to collages near me. When I called back this number there is clear scam going on, you can not talk to anyone and it redirects you to some Gmail account! My phone now is bombarded by scam phone calls which I send to voice mail and block.

I placed an online order for Forskolin diet supplement and the next week received a call from 1-855-414-9784 saying that there was a mistake with my FREE TRIAL ONLINE ORDER – and to please call ASAP. So I called the number and they did have my cell phone number and address already and because there was a glitch in the system, they needed my zip code and credit card number again. So I asked him his name, he said he was the customer support rep for the diet aid I ordered and he just need the zip & CC # – I told him NO — there are too many scams out there. He got upset and said "I already have your phone and address, how could this be a scam?" I said – I don’t know you tell me – He said … "Just provide the CC # so you can get your order… if you don’t verify the number, I will be forced to cancel your free trial." I said OKAY — CANCEL IT! He hung up. I called the actual company that I ordered from and they verified my order and shipping details. I received the product the next morning just as scheduled!

This company is called Customer Care Solutions it is the customer service company for all of the online products like testosterone boosters skin cream eye cream they literally scam you all on the internet.

I keep blocking the numbers and they keep calling. I say "do not call me", "how can I get off your list?", "how do I get you to stop calling me?" And then they hang up. When I call back the number and push 1 to speak to a person it says no one is available and to email them. Number 2 is an option to possibly get in their "do not call" list, but I refuse to give them my number because I think it’s a scam and they will call me more.

Type of a scam Travel/Vacations

The man identified himself as "Jason with customer service" and then asked "Can you hear me alright?" When I said "yes", he continued talking about a vacation giveaway. I realized it was just a recording and hung up. Then I remembered hearing about a phone scam in which the person saying "yes" is being recorded and then has charges made in his/ her name.

I was expecting a phone call from my new wireless carrier so I answered the call. The cheerful young woman said she was with Customer Service (didn’t name the company) and asked if I could hear her ok. I said "Yes I can." I’ve heard about this scam, but was caught off guard. I hung up immediately after I said it and knew what I had done.

Received a call from a man saying he was with customer service then asked can you hear me. Expecting a call about a dishwasher we had ordered, I said yes. He then went into a spiel about a trip I have won. I could tell it was pre-recorded and I hung up. I knew there was a recent scam about callers asking if we can hear them & getting people to say yes. I said yes before I had a chance to think. It caught me off guard because it was a local area code.

So I heard about this scam going around, and I have just been the victim of it before I even realized what was happening. this number called me and said "this is Josh from the Customer Service". "Can you hear me okay". I have had problems with a lot of stuff lately and have contacted a customer service so I thought the call was important. so I foolishly said "yes, I can hear you okay." the number was 704-817-3753

I’m not sure what they wanted from me. I hung up as soon as I realized it. I don’t know if I lost money. I definitely didn’t give them any information.

Man who introduced himself as Josh from customer service (which I thought was a call from my auto body shop) asked, "Can you hear me okay?". I wasn’t thinking about the current phone scam to get "yes" answers because I thought I was talking to auto shop so I answered, "Yes." Josh proceeded to tell me about a vacation package I won and I immediately hung up the phone. Unfortunately, after I said the doomed "yes." I have to answer report below that I "did not lose money" – but obviously only time will tell since the phone call happened 4 minutes ago.

The call was an automated message that identified itself as being from "customer service" from an unidentified company. They followed up by asking "can you hear me ok?". I assume that if I had said "yes", they would have recorded it and used it as affirmative proof that I agreed to purchase something.

Same type of scam as the "Can you hear me" scam only the question being asked is "I would like to speak to the homeowner, are you (said my name). I responded with "Speaking". They then kept asking questions that would normally be answered with a yes or no under the disguise of being energy efficient because of the carbon tax/footprint. They said my address and wanted me to confirm. This is when I terminated the call. We have received a total of four calls of this type within a half hour.
