  • Reporting mail fraud : Corporate Controllers Unit

    Years ago, I started a small business under a corporation for my websites. mail-fraud I received a letter twice from “Corporate Controllers Unit”. They were charging us $225.00 charges for annual corporate fees.  Just a few minutes of research revealed that this is a scam.

    The letter threatens that if you don’t pay “Delinquent” but at the end of the letter they state that do not represent any branches of the government:

    “This product or service has not been approved or endorsed by any Government Agency and this offer is not being made by an agency of the Government. U.S.C.39.6.3001(d). This is a solicitation for the order of services, and not a bill, invoice , or a statement of acocunt due. You are under no obligation to make any payments on account of this offer.”mail-fraud

  • Mbayi Ambo Visa Scam Facebook groups

    Scam Alert!

    Mbayi Ambo is offering members of facebook group a passport for $150.00. For $150 dollars she claims that she can get an exemptions from the medical at St Lukes AND exemption from appearing of the US embassy interview.

    fb-GROUP-SCAMMER

    This is not possible. It is a scam for sure. Even if you get a fake visa/passport and bypass the medical and Interview, the US Customs Border Protection requires a package that you can only get from the Embassy.

    One thing to keep in mind is that it sounds too good to be true, it probably is. ALWAYS double check and verify all offers and information you get online.. including the information on this group.

    She claims that she is from New York but her profile says Ontario,Canada. She is also using fake photos in her profile in Facebook.

  • instagram scammer

    https://youtu.be/iWcR3mevkfE

    An instagram scammer attempted to rip people off using the stolen identification of “Yuri Sincero”.  She managed to get money from someone and attempted to scam someone else.  The name she used to retrieve the money was Denise Manlutac at 156 Brgy. Balibago 1st, Tarlac City, Tarlac, Philippines.  If this person tries to get money from you, don’t do it.

  • 3 Tips for Buying Online

    We had a few people get scammed by a person using Yuri Sincero’s information. The reason they were scammed is because they did not follow these three tips:

    1. Verify before you buy – double check the identity of the person you buy from.  DO NOT trust the image of someones ID.

    2. Use Third Party Payment System – ebay, amazon, paypal are ways to reduce your risk, because these services verify the identity of the person.

    3. No Cash Online – Do NOT send cash online.  They safest way to buy online is to use a separate bank account via a third party payment system.

    According to the US Postal Inspector Service, “U.S. Postal Inspectors investigate any crime in which the U.S. Mail is used to further a scheme–whether it originated in the mail, by telephone, or on the Internet. The use of the U.S. Mail is what makes it mail fraud.”
