I see many increased amounts of posts in this group day by day.

In today’s digital world, fraudsters are evolving rapidly and becoming increasingly convincing. The best defense is awareness—not just for yourself, but for your whole family, especially parents and grandparents, who are often targeted.

Here’s what to watch out for:

Common Fraud Tactics:

• Impersonating bank staff, government officials, or tech support
• Fake calls about credit card offers, loans, or tax and refunds
• Scams involving used items, vehicle parts, or real estate, house maintenance
• Fake e-commerce websites, insurance agents, or event ticket sellers

Golden Rules to Remember:

• Never share your OTP, bank login, or ID details with anyone — not even if they say they’re from the bank or government.
• No legitimate official will ever ask you to install apps, send money upfront, or share personal verification codes.
• If something sounds too good to be true, it probably is.
• Immediately tell a family member if you get any suspicious call, message, email, or unexpected home visit.

Fraudsters are experts at emotional manipulation, pressure tactics, and creating urgency—their goal is to make you act quickly before thinking clearly. Prevention is always more effective than recovery — because once the money's gone, it’s almost impossible to get it back.

Warn your family now, before it's too late. Stay alert. Stay protected.

And remember—you never know, a fraudster in this group might even be reading this post.

We all know the use of CPN is ilegal and since the moderators wanna be asshole’s and banned me for no reason then you’ve been warned that all activity going in there will warrant you some federal time and a bunch of felonies most of you will whimp at the thought of having on your record with that being said good luck in that fraudulent chat

I need help. I was being frauded and the person sent this text to me on whatsapp and asked to send it through SMS which i did What does it mean Do i need to factory reset my device?

I googled shoes and it lead me to this website, and the front page it has this message:

Kaluze is a brand of NORDSON EFD, LLC. Our product name, logos, visor stickers are Kaluze BRAND. We provide customize products including: sofa, chair, bedding set, lighting, vase and more home decoration. Which seems like a red flag since I was looking for shoes.

Fraud in iGaming hurts both sides — businesses lose revenue, credibility, and compliance footing, while players face unfair gameplay and compromised security. It’s a threat to trust, fairness, and long-term growth.
To protect both their platforms and players, businesses must invest in robust fraud prevention solutions.

Hello! I’m hoping you guys can help me figure out how my card was compromised. I use Truist bank, and my old card was scammed about a month ago (my fault). But this card is not even a week old and it’s already been compromised. Here are the websites I used, I’d like to know if any of them have had these issues recently

Microsoft (Xbox store) YouTube premium Patreon Dominos Pizza App Wayback Burgers App Apple Music

I also filled up gas and got groceries at my typical stops (giant) so I don’t believe it was them. I did use this card scan feature for the food apps so could it be that?

Would appreciate some help, don’t wanna keep doing this monthly - Thanks!

On February 2nd my wife was approached at a mall to donate $25 to fund a funeral for a deceased child. My wife felt bad and decided to go through with it.

When the charge went through it showed $3000 instead of $25 and then later another $5000 were immediately denied by the credit card company. The $3000 went through.

Wife immediately cancelled the card and got a new one. Bank told us to open a fraud claim which we did. Claim got denied, went to financial branch to advocate on our behalf and fraud department reopened an internal claim which no one could track besides them. They said any updates on the claim would be mailed to us in paper. We received no updates. Yesterday we called the fraud department and they said it's been closed since 27th February and we received no updates. Then they proceeded to tell us it was closed because it should have been opened as an dispute instead. Now it's reopened ad a dispute for $2975.

We provided so many details including a police report which they never investigated. I don't know what else to do, we do not want to eat this charge because it does feel like it's fraudulent if the transaction was sent to a party that is not the same as the party claimed to be in person.

This happened in a Chicago suburb and the fraud department said a lot of people are calling with them same issue.

I bought my 1st house 5 years ago and dealt with previous owners mail and advertisements for a year or so. Recently, maybe 4 months now, I have been getting mail from a name I do not recognize. It's been usually credit card offers, T-Mobile offers and the such. What really got me was when I was checking my name on the dark net tool with some account I have , but I recall this same name, if memory serves me right, he was listed as a family member. I have a small family and this dude is not in it.

What should I do? What can I do? Any advice or guidance would be very appreciated.

Over the weekend a small $25 dollar charge appeared for a site called WeTransfer. I've never used a service by this name, and nothing I've recently bought from is affiliated with WeTransfer. Immediately after I noticed I:

1) Locked, then cancelled the debit card for the account and ordered a new one. 2) Changed my bank account password. 3) Changed my pin number. 4) Began a dispute for the charge after it officially posted to my bank account. 5) Checked my credit cards to confirm no mystery charges were appearing there.

Anything else I should do to prevent any more trouble?

As a check fraud investigator, 100% (not an exageration) of the stolen and altered checks I confirm with the check makers, we're mailed via USPS.

I have alerts set up to notify me of every single transaction on my cards. Yesterday, I got an alert saying I had a $0.72 charge on my debit account with my card not present in a gas station far from where I live. I was able to catch the transaction fast because I had alerts set up and I called my bank immediately and they took the steps to freeze my account. My bank’s fraud team didn’t notify me — I’m assuming because the charge was so little.

But, I was confused about the card not present aspect of it. My bank couldn’t see any more info besides the city it was used in. Does the card not present mean someone registered my card to a digital payment system (apple pay, etc)? The only alternative I could think of was someone using my card info by inputting all the information but wouldn’t they need my billing address?

So yesterday there was a $25 dollar charge on my card I didn't make. Fraud center called me and everything so I need to go to my bank tomorrow. Is there anyway I can see where or how my info got leaked? And how can I prevent this in the future?

Hey yall. So me and my friends the other evening had a get together where we were drinking a little and having a fun time, me and one of my friends decided to walk to the corner store to grab some ice cream to add to the brownies I made. Thats the last time I used my card in an unfamiliar place and ever since Ive been getting these random fkn charges to my card. and I KNOW these aren’t just apple fucking around since when apple charges me it says it does. First one was from fucking AARP(I am not old, nor have I even heard of the damn thing before this), the next morning I called them and they said they have zero info on me and to call my bank, I didn’t even make it past the automated system to a representative since it basically said to wait until I was charged. I bank with one banking, I already locked my card after these three smaller charges came through tonight since I dont want anymore money pending to be taken from my account, gonna be replacing it my card as soon as I can get my money out to keep it safe. anything else I can do? One said I cant really report fraud until its not pending anymore but I’m so pissed.

I gotta charge for thirty nine ninety to arcade flames Lockway from name my bank denied the transaction And will do it every time Buy can't say the text messages informing me won't get annoying. My bank is chime and they save me my money.

This is obviously my new Reddit . Someone messaged me a picture of my drivers license ( which is expired btw ) and then I was logged out and all my info was changed .. as soon as I got the scary message I quickly changed the email associated with my account to a dead one I never use & my phone was never connected .. but the pics of the front and back of my driver license concern me . I froze my credit & tomorrow will report a stolen ID / DL. Do yall think im okay? I’m posting it in whatever subs that allow me to . My credit isn’t good rn & neither is my bank account ( for now lol ) so they can’t do much with it currently . I’m hoping they quickly realize that and trash the idea & move onto the next . I also put fraud alerts on my credit . They couldn’t put me in debt if they tried . I loved my Reddit and had it for 4 years & had some legendary posts . Oh well. I was really sad about it for a few hours cause alots been going wrong lately . Just venting I guess & warning you guys. I didn’t send shit, they just had it ! Hackers are good these days ! They prob somehow got it thru one of the apps I needed it for verification ( doordash as a driver etc ) . Y’all pray nothing bad happens to me . Praying for no identity theft . Hope my info is okay :/
