This week we’ve found a large number of scams that you need to watch out for, including ones relating to Smith Gregory, Cash App, Amazon, Louis Vuitton, Tinder, and LinkedIn. Would you have been able to spot all the scams?
Fake Debt Collection Website — smithgregory.com
Have you received a voicemail from a debt collector called “Smith Gregory”? Watch out for this spam message!
The person talking on the voicemail informs you that you’ve got outstanding debts. Many people have said that they’ve never used any services from the bank mentioned in the voicemail; “Smith Gregory” is not specific about the details of the outstanding debts either, which makes it even more suspicious.
The purpose of the voicemail is to urge you to pay the debt over the phone or set up a monthly payment plan via the website smithgregory.com — it’s a SCAM! Below are some red flags:
- The website was registered on March 30, 2022 — too young to align with the description on the website.
- There’s no valid contact information — no company address, only a phone number and an online form.
