This scam campaign centers around the fraudulent domain reliefcheckhelp.com and its www subdomain, both registered through NameCheap on December 5, 2025. The domains are being used to perpetrate multiple types of consumer fraud, including fake relief check schemes and phishing operations targeting online sellers. Both domains show a strong connection with a confidence level of 0.59, indicating they are frequently reported together by victims.
The campaign has documented connections to two debt collection companies: REPORTS, INC. and ACCOUNT SERVICES INC., which have generated 10 and 8 CFPB complaints respectively. Both companies show moderate confidence connections (0.35) to the reliefcheckhelp.com domain, suggesting coordinated fraudulent activities or shared infrastructure between these entities. This pattern indicates the scammers may be operating across multiple business fronts to appear legitimate while conducting various types of financial fraud.
Consumer reports reveal at least two distinct attack methods being employed through these domains. Victims report receiving calls from someone named "Dan" claiming they have $5,200 waiting in an account and directing them to visit www.reliefcheckhelp.com to claim the funds. Separately, the domains are being used in boat sale phishing schemes where scammers pose as potential buyers and request sellers obtain paid boat reports through the fraudulent website, promising reimbursement that never materializes. Community reports also flag that the contact email associated with the domain registration appears to be fake and not connected to legitimate customer service.
To protect yourself from these scams, never click on links sent via text or email from unknown sources, and be extremely suspicious of unsolicited calls about unclaimed money or benefits. Legitimate government agencies and financial institutions do not operate this way. If contacted by these scammers, hang up immediately and do not provide any personal information. Report incidents to the FTC at reportfraud.ftc.gov or file a complaint with the FCC. Before engaging with any website claiming to offer financial benefits or services, verify its legitimacy through official government websites or contact relevant agencies directly using official phone numbers found through independent searches.
This represents a moderate-to-high threat level campaign actively targeting consumers through multiple channels including phone calls, text messages, and online marketplace interactions. The recent domain registration date combined with active consumer reports indicates this is an ongoing operation. Consumers should exercise extreme caution with any communications referencing reliefcheckhelp.com or its associated entities, and relevant authorities should consider domain takedown actions to prevent further victim impact.
