Report Spam, Scam, Fraud, Obscenity, Harassment

Here is an example of a common scam using the IRS. I received  this in my email today.  - THE CLUE WAS THE WEBSITE ADDRESS AT TEH END OF THE LETTER. And, of course, the fact that I already received my tax return.

Hi my name is Laurie, this also happened to me Jan 29/08, also by Principal Plus Financial.  I have posted a complaint on the Ripoff web page, but I happened to see yours also and just had to add my comments.  I applied on line and they came back to me saying I was approved for a $20,000 loan.  I had to pay $1000.00 insurance deposit, so I borrowed the money, sent the funds via money gram.  Next morning I called to see where my funds were and was told by Debra King that someone had taken off with alot of money and now the lender wanted more $ on deposit.  I said no and please send back my funds, haven't seen a darn thing.  Week after week I called, then finally I got ahold of a manager, her name is Rodney (not sure on the spelling) anyway she gave me a file # and told me that the lender was sending back my funds.  That was 3 weeks ago and still no money, I call them daily, every 2 minutes in the evening, I fax them daily, actually I just faxed them this morning with a copy of the ripoff report I just filed.  I am not going away, this has got to stop now......

Thanks Foolish One

Hi my name is S Mills and was scammed out of $1100 but Principal Plus Financial. I filled out an application for a loan on the internet two days later a woman by the name of Debra King contacted me and said that I was approved for a $5000 loan and that I  just had to pay a deposit of $600 for Principal Plus Financial and Insurance Premium. I was told on the day that I money gram the $600 that the  $5000 dollars would be deposited into my account within four hours. Two hours passed and Debra King called me back informing me that the lender that was going to secure my loan backed out because of my credit and that if I still wanted to go through with loan that I would have to send in another deposit of  $500 dollars so I did without even thinking I money gram $500 to them. After the second money gram I was told that the money would be deposited into my account within the next hour. An hour had passed no money in my account. So I called Debra King back she notified me that the lender who was lending me the money computer was down but noney would be deposited into my account by 8 p.m. and that ii would have access to it the next day.  I called the my bank that following morning to see if anything was deposited into my account and they notified me that there wasn't. So I called Principal Plus Financial again regarding the money that was suppose to be deposited into my account but this time I talked to someone claiming to be Debra King supervisor she informed me that the money that was suppose to be deposited into my account was a international money trasfer and that the federal reserve was holding it and that it would be released into my account within 3 to 5 business days. Five days passed no money I even went to the main building of my bank and the supervisor of the bank informed me that the federal reserve wasn't holding anything for me. I have been trying to get back in touch with Principal Plus Financial for over a month now. They are not answering there phone or responding to any of the messages I left them. Iwant to know is there anyone out there that can me get my money back and to stop this company before they do this to someone else.

New Scam circulating on the internet

Phishing Scam Targets Military:

Internet scam targets Army Knowledge Online

A “phishing” scam that targets the 1.9 million users of Army Knowledge Online is actively being circulated throughout the Internet, according AKO officials.

Phishing is an identity theft technique that uses a deceptive Web site to mimic a trusted Web site, such as AKO or Bank of America.

Phishing attacks typically ask e-mail recipients to provide personal information, such as a Social Security number or account and billing information when they attempt to respond to the e-mail.

In an alert posted today by AKO, soldiers and other members of the Army community were told that if they receive any unsolicited e-mails appearing to be from any account other than their official AKO account asking for personal information, they should forward the message to report.abuse@us.army.mil.

“If you respond to this scam, please reset your password and security questions immediately,” according to the AKO notice.

AKO users can receive additional assistance by contacting the AKO “Help Desk” at http://report-spam-scam-fraud-obscenity-harassment.aidpage.com/www.us.army.mil.
