Car dealership lied, canceled my insurance, and got sexually harassed/got assaulted. Can I sue? Location: Colorado. \*Using a burner account Back in January I started at a car dealership. I was eligible for health insurance/benefits starting April 1st. I enrolled in just vision and dental. I had plans of leaving the car dealership because: My general sales manager was sexually harassing me, constantly making comments about my chest. At one point, I needed to drop a car off and ride back in his. He slammed on the gas in his v10 and I flew back in the chair. It was just us two in there and he grabbed my boob then said “hahaha omg oops sorry I didn’t mean to grab your boob”, which he clearly did because he was always commenting on them. This happened in the parking lot where we dropped the vehicle off at. At a high school with cameras. He also created a hostile work environment by saying hate slurs about my coworker in front of me on multiple occasions. He said something so awful I went into a full blown panic attack. Next is one of the finance managers had a huge crush on me. He asked me for drinks outside of work multiple times (I never went), tried to lure me to his hotel he was staying at, would bring me food that I didn’t ask for such as breakfast or Red Lobster for lunch, call me multiple times in a row outside of work hours. Things started getting extremely out of hand when he started asking me while at work, while at my desk, to have sexual intercourse with him in the hallway, pointing out that there was no cameras around. He asked multiple times making me extremely uncomfortable. He was also a married man. Now to the insurance part. My insurance started April 1st. I had my physical copies of my cards sent to me via mail. My insurance was good through all of April. My last day at the car dealership was April 14th. I went to an eye exam and had a dentist appointment set for the next day. Eye exam went great, ordered glasses, no problem when paying and

Fraud in Car Lease...options? Location: California Three years ago I leased a car. It was not an ideal time because cars were still at a premium coming out of the pandemic, but desperate times, and all that. I shopped around a lot. My initial intention was to purchase but one dealership that I was looking at offered me a deal if I would lease. I guess that should have been a red light, but never having purchased or leased a car before, I took the deal. I spent quite a bit of time at the dealership making them explain the difference between purchase and lease and what would happen at the end. In particular, I asked repeatedly and multiple times how much it would cost me to purchase the car at the end of the lease. I was told by multiple people that because cars were so overpriced at that moment that I would get a sweet deal at the end, that it would be less than $1k plus tax & title. I had them show me the paperwork where it said that, and they initially listed $500 + tax and title. So I agreed to the deal. A person who I thought was a finance manager got my electronic signature to prepare the paperwork, and he went into the back and came back sometime later with a few copies. They said the system was down and they would update it all later. We went through the paperwork, and I put wet signatures on several pages, and my electronic signature was on others. I asked him to show me again where the final cost would be, and he circled it: $300 + tax and title. I walked out with that paperwork confident I had a good deal. I set up automatic payments a couple of days later and pretty much let it be. Then, I went for the final purchase after the lease to a new location because the place I'd purchased the car went out of business about 6 weeks after I leased the car (based on research I have done.) The new place I went to informed me that the final cost was "residual value + $300 + tax and title." I spoke directly with the GM and VP; I showed them my orig

Robinhood CEO says a "tokenization supercycle" is underway Crypto prices remain mired in a prolonged slump, but Robinhood CEO Vlad Tenev says the company remains bullish on the broader sector. During a first quarter earnings call on Tuesday, Tenev said he wants to get away from a strategy based around the price of Bitcoin, and focus instead on the finance industry’s rapid adoption of blockchain infrastructure. “We’re at the very beginning of what will be a tokenization supercycle,” said Tenev, pointing to recent initiatives to tokenize stocks. In a follow-up interview with Fortune, Tenev said this process will be disruptive but that it will create value for both investors and the broader financial industry. The term “tokenization” describes the process of taking various assets and offering them in a blockchain wrapper, allowing them to be traded by means of the same technology that underpins Bitcoin. Firms like Robinhood and Kraken are already offering tokenized stocks in overseas markets, while both the New York Stock Exchange and Nasdaq have announced plans to do the same. During the earnings call, which came after Robinhood announced results that narrowly missed analyst expectations, Tenev said the company is well positioned to ride a future tokenization wave. He pointed to Robinhood’s crypto wallet, the company’s build-out of its own blockchain, and its existing efforts to sell tokenized stocks.

Credit Pulled Without Authorization - What Next Hello all - long time lurker, first time posting. I need some help with this. I'm not sure what do to or how far to take it. Background: We bought a camper last summer from an out of town dealer. My other half wants to "upgrade" to a bigger camper. Apparently there was a discussion with the dealer about trade in and getting a new one that I did not know about. Last week (Thursday) I get a series of notifications on my phone that I had new credit inquiries (eight in total). I'm out of town at a work conference and just don't have time to deal with identity theft \*right now\*. I called the location listed on the first credit pull and spoke to the finance manager. He confirmed that someone had authorized the credit pull. I told him that it was not me and I never authorized the credit application and, at this point, I'm not going to authorize the inquiries. As far as I'm concerned, someone has pulled credit for a potential loan without my consent or knowledge. He confirmed that the credit pull happened at a different location in the franchise. Fast forward to today. I talked to the finance guy at the actual dealership where this "deal" was being arranged. He confirmed he pulled credit. I asked why he didn't get a verbal agreement from BOTH parties and he said, "I thought you were in this together." I informed him that I did not know we were looking for a new camper, I did not agree to having my credit pulled, and I will not retroactively agree. He apologized and said it was a misunderstanding, and, if we were to buy a new camper, that we would get my verbal or written consent. He was very nervous for the entire conversation and, while I was polite, I was very direct and I did tell him that I was pretty pissed off that he did this without my consent. So now here I am. I have eight inquiries on my credit. I know these don't significantly impact BUT I did not approve, I did not consent, and I didn't even know

Pay After Placement Scam? Hawkinsuniversityedu.us I signed up requesting more information for Hawkins university that’s an online university for various computer science certifications. As soon as I signed up, I received a call from someone who says they’re from Hawkins university and for a limited time only they have a program called Pay After Placement. Basically, the program costs 10k, but half of that is covered by “sponsors” and I won’t have to pay it back, and the other half, I will be in charge of after I complete my courses and secure a job. I think for a couple days, the same guy calls me back several times and eventually, we agree that I’m going to sample the program for a few sessions but if I’m not satisfied, I can quit with no penalty. In order to begin my “sampling” session, I must now sign up for installment programs through stuff like klarna, zip, afterpay etc. and I have to open an account with one of these websites, and after I open the account, they gave me a random debit or credit card from their “finance department” and I have to now put in that card number, and for name and billing, I use my name and billing address. I’m very skeptical at this point. I mean whose card is this and why do I have to put it in?! Why can’t the finance department handle this on their end?! But they’re really persistent. In the end I do put it in, and it goes through. The school send me normal emails regarding class schedules, how often I have to attend, when etc. and they also send me a weekly link to a zoom meeting with the professor and 15 other students. I honestly think the students are real. There’s several students, asking random questions, someone’s forgot to unmute, some have cameras on etc. So I go for two classes. Which is one week of my “sample”. The teacher seems knowledgeable, he’s teaching us data science, he’s giving us homework and recommendations for books to buy on Amazon to help with our coursework. After my first week, the guy who sig

They required daily tasks. They required a deposit sometimes called rent. The amount of the deposit determined the daily pay. To get paid, they required you to log in and initiate a withdrawal. The withdrawal then had to be approved by their finance department. The finance department would sometimes deny the withdrawal. The webpage to log in to started to have trouble, first once in a while, then more frequently. Eventually all employees had trouble. Then managers would "Quit", and another would take over a week or two later. Then things got worse, resulting in not being able to log in to get paid.

Received an email "From: Karly Wieser | G100 Network [email protected] " about an invoice reminder. The email appeared to have previous email correspondence with the President of the company instructing the sender to redirect the invoice to the Finance department via the finance email address. I placed a PDF of the email in the attached document. The email contained two attachments (both also in the attached PDF), one an invoice for over 49k and a w9 for a company with the same name. The invoice has bank account details at the bottom, which lookup to GO2Bank and the EIN number is a registered and approved tax exempt charity under IRS 501(c)3 code. This is pretty sophisticated. I tried to report the activity to the bank on the invoice and they blew me off. Someone should report them to the IRS as I don't really know how to do that. Ultimately, if the amount had been significantly less and this hadn't triggered my review, it's possible this would have been paid. Someone needs to do something about these people. This is awful.

I applied for a job on LinkedIn and I received an text message from (646) 325-6868 Ms. Lavina Klocko stating she had received notification from a Emily Parker at LinkedIn. She was told I was looking for work and would like to share information about her company. Lavina said her company was PIXAI digital and they used the Engagement Optimization Algorithm (EOA) and globally standardized SEO technology to help their partners improve the visibility and ranking of their music albums. Their role was to provide targeted promotional date that helps artists and merchants get their music into the top search results. I logged on the PIXAI digital working sight and signed up on the platform. She was the mentor that was assign to train me until I was comfortable going on my own. I was shown how The PIXAI Digital Salary Deposit Activity Reward chart worked and shown how much money I could and would make a day just by clicking on the albums and records that was in my rid. After processing a few albums and records my funds started to accumulate and all I had to do was download the funds and deposit them into my bank account. It was great UNTIL the FUND became higher than "normal" since I was new and I hit the Bonus Album. Since I hadn't accumulated enough funds in my account I had to pay $8,000.00 to get the bonus Jackpot worth $11,000.00. No big deal, I get a profit of $3,000.00 so I thought. I was instructed to take the "Cash" to a certain store on 1502 W. University Drive #113 McKinney Texas 75069 and deposit the cash into a BITCOIN ATM, so I did. Once I got back to my computer I had to wait until I could get a One- Time process approval from a "Verification Specialist" to deposit the $11,000.00 into my account. His name was David the Finance Manager that would guide me through the step-by-step process.
