That makes me angry, Because I see real people like you and me. using our hard earned money trying to get into these ‘businesses’ only to get scammed into purchases,for products that promise but don’t deliver, we’ve all seen it.

Ads & Brochures that promises you too can be RICH all the while promoting another companies product and not making the money that is promised. Or the company being unreasonably unfair to consumer. Or just plain ripping them off!

I’ve seen quite a few and have been fortunate enough not to get caught up in it by simply typing up the ‘Product name and Scam, in Google and see what info comes up on them…

I had to do my own research, on Any company that’s less than reputable & you should too…

What do you think? What peeves you?

yeah well talk about too good to be true
the guy said he’d send his dog to the carrier service and i should receive it within 24 hours and the carrier service will contact me about method of payment.
well i got really suspicious but the guy was giving me his big sob story about how he has to find the puppies homes asap because he’s moving or whatever. so he asked me for information.
he asked for my full name, address, city, zip code and state.
I gave him the info and he said the carrier service will contact me soon.

well i got a E-mail from the so called carrier service (found it in my spam folder) that’s when i new this is a fraud. well i kind of had a gut feeling the whole time.
and some guy from “CAMEROON” called with an african accent
and asked about the service or whatever and i told him i’d get back to him. meanwhile i researched online and found the very same stories from others on blogs coming from “carrier services in Cameroon”

here’s the link check it out so you can understand my story a bit more

well i blocked the E-mails from the so-called owner and the fake Company called and i picked up the phone (oh yeah, they have my number too. what a freakin fool i am right?) well i said “yeah I’m sorry i will not be going through with this whole thing, i don’t have any money and i can’t do this, send the “dog” back to his “owner” ”

and he said “You contact owner!!!!!!!!!!!!” and he hung up on me
lol
yeah so i’m not gonna contact these people ever again

nor will i buy pets online! i’m gonna settle for a shelter puppy, they are cute and need my help, too bad i really wanted a husky, but it’s okay.

Now my question is:

Should i still be worried??
I don’t plan on picking up any more of these calls from the fake company but they have my name, address, city, zip code, state, and home and cell number

the phone doesn’t bother me because i just plan to ignore any calls coming from this place

but can they do anything with my address and name? like any identity-theft or anything?? please let me know, i am worried.

ahh and please don’t tell me i was stupid for falling for this, at least i didn’t pay anything right??? most of the people on the forum about the scam already paid and lost money. it’s already bad as it is that i fell for it, i feel soo sooo stupid.
FYI :

I don’t have anything in my name right now
no bank account
no credit cards
nothing

I’m 18, just graduated from high school.
so i don’t really have an identity to really steal since i don’t have anything but my Social security number, but i know they can use my SSN to get a credit card and stuff. but since i don’t have anything does it lower my risk of having my identity stolen???
