The scammer pretnded to be YouTube they used the Roc aka Dwayne Johnson as the spokesperson. It had me watching ads and saying whether the ad was revelant or unrevelant. They claimed after paying Inwould receive the $36.99 plus the funds I had accumulated before paying with Chime. Once I paid it claimed that the payment information needed to be re entered after they had already taken it. I tried to click submit it wouldn't let me refreshed and it disappeared. Didn't get a email confirmation or anything. [BBB Scam Type: Employment] [Business: Verified Ultimate Tasks] [Location: KY, USA- 40511]

To be honest I am still not sure it's a scam because it's a lot of work,time, and effort being put into this situation as they are allegedly posing as a legit shipping company and I have been paid my first paycheck yet and they have not asked me for any too personal information like social security number or anything like chime or cash app information and I got the job through indeed so it's still uncertain to me if they are legit or scam I'm only on here because it came up while I was trying to manually login to my dashboard while they say that the company website is under maintenance because I need to ship off some packages that go to the customers and don't want to delay them. I'm now uncertain about how to proceed from here and praying I have not been wasting my time doing my "job" because I need this paycheck or I am out on the streets. But if the BBB personaly contact me and it's really a big scam perhaps we can help each other in putting an end to it. ********** *** @m [BBB Scam Type: Employment] [Business: Glideport shipping] [Location: NC, USA- 27406]

My best friend and I contacted this young lady on TikTok to get tattoos from her. When it came time to send her the deposit money she told us that she accepted chime however, when I typed in her chime account, it wouldn’t pop up for me so I let her know that I couldn’t find her and that she could search me up, but she said that I wouldn’t come up for her either so then she sent us her brother‘s Chime account and we sent the $150 to her brother I thought we were all good to go. She told us that we could send her our ideas for designs so she could create our stencils and then the next morning she sent out a message letting us know that she is changing her policy because two men ran out on her without paying, and she now requires an 85% deposit in order for us to get the tattoos at this point we had already paid her what we had agreed on via her website and verbal confirmation through TikTok so we were not willing to pay her any more money so in that same message, she said that we could come to her studio to receive our refund even though we paid her via chime, which is an online banking app when I told her that we weren’t comfortable, driving all the way to the Bronx to receive a refund because we paid it online she said that that was no problem and that she would send the money back on chime that same day. I let her know in a message that that was fine however, if she did not send me the money by the end of that day, the next day I would be contacting chimes fraud department. She didn’t answer me for a few hours, and when she finally did respond, she told me that she was gonna send the money, but since I ““ fake threatened her I was no longer getting anything from her. She then proceeded to block me on TikTok and on Chime, so I then had no way to request the money from her or discuss getting my refund further. I contacted Chime, and they essentially said that there was nothing that they co [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Kay Inks Studios] [Location: NY, U

Bought items from a Facebook seller for 3-wheeler parts. The seller asked for payment of $230 to be sent by chime. Asked for a screenshot of said payment.

This company Ricks Car sales asked for a down payment for a vehicle and I trusted thinking that I would get the vehicle and I did make a down payment of 400 and then they told me to pay 599 on top of that for the delivery fee and I paid that amount and then they will send the tracking number. I did not sign any documents because they never sent any documents for me to sign like they said they would. I kept tracking the vehicle and it was still in a Denver CO and then next thing you they tell me to pay 999 again and that's when I thought this is fishy and I told them I don't want to pay anything more and that I just want my refund back and thats when they just kept saying the money is non refundable. I made the payments through chime and keep asking for the money back but he keeps going me a hard time telling me to pay 999 more to get the vehicle and I said I ain't paying more. They tell me that the vehicle is stopped during transport and that's why I have to pay 999 more to get my vehicle. This is what they sent me yesterday and I said this isn't even a could miles on the reservation. So I know they are just trying to get me to pay more money. I just want my refund I keep trying to ask them but they haven't proceeded forth with sending the money back. .css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;fl [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: Ricks Car Sales] [Location: NM, USA- 87375]

I contacted the scammer through their website, looking to purchase a liquidation pallet. Initially, he indicated that multiple pallets were unavailable. After picking one, I set up a Chime account to complete the purchase. The purchase was made with two payments from my Chime account. After a day or two, the story changed to "a mistake had been made and that the pallet chosen wasn't available as a single purchase," and I needed to double the purchase amount to receive the product. I indicated I did not have the money for that and requested a refund. After my request, I have been unable to contact this individual. It has been weeks now and with no success in contacting this individual. @media (min-width:768px){.css-1w6dufj{-webkit-box-flex:0;-webkit-flex-grow:0;-ms-flex-positive:0;flex-grow:0;-webkit-flex-basis:auto;-ms-flex-preferred-size:auto;flex-basis:auto;width:calc(100% * 6 / var(--Grid-parent-columns) - (var(--Grid-parent-columns) - 6) * (var(--Grid-parent-columnSpacing) / var(--Grid-parent-co [BBB Scam Type: Online Purchase] [Business: 1001palletliquidation.com Date Repor] [Location: CA, USA- 92683]

Global Track Logistics Group is the name provided by a dog breeder that was supposed to deliver a puppy on Friday, February 13th. The shipping company demanded $500 for delivery which they claimed would be refunded at delivery. The fee was paid to someone by the name of Alexis Acosta via Chime. The shipping company then demanded another $500 for insurance which was also to be refunded at delivery. We do not have any contact information for the shipper including phone, address, etc. It's possible the company is legitimate and unaware they are being used in a delivery scam.
