Type of a scam Online Purchase
I had a truck for sale on Craigslist. The person sent me a text saying they would pay cash and meet me the next day at a specific time to buy it. Last minute they wanted a VVI report and gave me the website of vehiclevininfo.com. I sent him the same info via a free legit site but that’s not what he wanted. His site cost money and collects personal info

Received a call on my cell phone from a person named joe he told me it was a recorded line and asked if I could hear him I said yes and he hung up. I called the help desk with the Geek Squad to see if that might have been a scam and he told me it was. So I looked up on the internet and this is what it advised me to do. The call came in on 6/26/18 at 6:32 PM.

Type of a scam Healthcare/Medicaid/Medicare
"Joe" called inquiring about my healthcare and started to tell me what his records showed. I interrupted and asked what company he was representing. He hung up on me. I called back; Joe answered; I again asked about his company and he hung up. Future calls resulted in voicemails saying agents weren’t available and directing me to a suspicious email account.

Person "Joe" calls, I answered the phone, he states his name and this is a recorded line and asks "Can you hear me ok?". I unfortunately said yes. "Joe" goes on to talk about something I believe about winning something with a vacation and there is nothing I need to do but share with friends and family. The light went off and I instantly said no and no you do not have my consent for anything regarding this phone call. "Joe" instantly hangs up.

This person called saying he was from a cruise company and asked if I could hear him. After I said yes and before I could tell him not to call back he hung up. I immediately called back and told him not to call me and he better not charge me for anything. He hung up on me without replying and blocked my number. I texted him the same thing. I’ve been monitoring my accounts all day just in case. Here’s the number. (317) 360-0130

Caller identified himself, then proceeded to warn me my internet connection was in danger of being hacked. He calls several times a day despite hang ups and the threat of being turned over to the BBB. He claims he represents Symantec, however I currently have an account with them and was able to contact the company between calls and confirm this was in fact a scam.
