Hostage Scam
By: Oct 15, 2020I was called by what I believed was my daughter. It turned out to be a southern sounding man telling me he had my daughter and would hurt her physically and sexually unless I sent money using cash app. He had hacked my daughters IP address so it looked like her phone had been used so why would I not believe he had her. I asked to talk to her and he said I’d hear her scream when he bleep bleep bleeped (violent sexual assault) I couldn’t get cash app to work so he said use PayPal and send to goodbusiness.fee. I had an idea to hang up call police and call him back claiming my phone died. I knew my daughter would think that. I called 911, called my daughter back expecting the man but instead she answered. She was completely confused because she was safe and alone at home. The police arrived,

By: Oct 01, 2020Patricia Ann McClain (SPEECH AND LANGUAGE PATHOLOGIST @ Mountlake Terrace Elementary School; Integrative Holistic Health Coach at Thyroid Matters) and her husband Robin McClain (Greater Seattle Area) hit my parked car and didn't say anything. In the photos below you can see the silver paint from their Toyota Prius on the corner of my bumper and also my dark gray paint on the corner of their front bumper.

They lied to the police about the accident and also refused to cover the cost of my repair.
AN ABSOLUTE SCUMBAG thing to do and I can't believe that someone like this is allowed to be around young children. I would caution anybody that interacts with Patricia McClain or Robin McClain to exercise extreme caution. THEY ARE THE LOWEST OF THE LOW SCUMBAGS.
Here is her employment information so you know exactly who the offender is:

I got the same thing, filled out an Amazon survey and paid $4.68 to ship a watch. Then I was charged $97.21 for a cheap watch that was not supposed to cost anything because I filled out the survey. Does Amazon know they are doing this? It must not be associated really with Amazon.

John Maldanado, identified as Jmich above in complaint 19033, is unstable and dangerous. He never purchased what he claims, therefore no refund is due.. Further, he represented that he corresponded with the Orlando Pulse shooter Mateen on gay apps when, in fact, the FBI reported that Mateen never used any gay apps. John Maldanado is unstable and dangerous. Do not patronize him at Salon of Jax nor his partner and salon owner Scott Shute.

And to the lady who gave away $110,000; are you freaking serious?! What in the hell prompted you to give $110,000 to some unknown person who contacted you through email and just asked for a "loan"? You'll never see that money, or even a piece of it, ever again. It really makes me so angry to see people just give away money because they have the other persons word. Haha, stop being so trusting, then get mad and demand your money back when you finally realize you got scammed. Next $110,000 should go to some common sense. P.A. If you ever think it's ok, or a good idea, to respond to an email asking for money or that money will be sent to you if you just pay a small fee, Please do yourself a favor and disconnect all access to the internet and delete your email accounts.

You people are real MENSA candidates. Sending money to any schmuck online who asks for it. Idiots, take that money and invest in some common sense. I can't believe people still get scammed these days. Guess what people? With just an email address or your name, even I can find out your phone number(s), address, date of birth, marriage and birth records, all social media accounts, all email accounts, all family members, address history, property owned (and what you paid for it), arrest records and some more info with the click of a button. Shocked right? Don't let these people fool you into thinking they know you and are from a legitimate company. Don't let them scare you, harass you or bully you into paying anything because they have this information, ITS CALLED PUBLIC RECORD FOR A REASON!! (Because anyone can have access to this information on a person). And always do your research on who is contacting you. One quick Google search of a phone number, email or company name who is contacting you can save you thousands. Don't be desperate or gullible. Natural selection... P.S. Any mention of Western Union, Green Dot Money Card, Money Pak, Visa Gift Card, any other Money Transfer Companies or sending checks YOU SHOULD HANG UP OR STOP COMMUNICATION IMMEDIATELY. THESE SERVICES ARE ONLY USED BY SCAMMERS! AND THERE IS NO WAY TO GET YOUR MONEY BACK. If you have been scammed using PayPal, FILE A CLAIM IMMEDIATELY to have the charge reversed and money sent back to you. Real companies use perfect, correct English. Don't do business with a "company" whose representative cannot form a perfect sentence. Also do not have contact with, or ever send money to, anyone in China or Africa (Ghana, Nigeria, etc.) as those 2 countries are only known for scams. Furthermore, any mention of sending you money (checks, paypal, etc.) to cash through your bank and send to a third party is DEFINITELY A SCAM. STOP BEING GULLIBLE AND DESPERATE!! If a small part sounds fishy then stop communication and do research immediately. NEVER, EVER SEND MONEY BEFORE CHECKING OUT DETAILS OF THE PHONE NUMBER/EMAIL/NAME OF PERSON/WEBSITE OR COMPANY NAME WHO IS CONTACTING YOU!! ALWAYS READ GOOGLE REVIEWS ON A PHONE NUMBER OR WEBSITE BEFORE BUYING ANYTHING OR SENDING MONEY!!

It is curious that Nielsen and his criminal family are still doing the same things/crimes on the same systems to the same people. It is curious since 1988 why they have no fear of being investigated for all of their abuses, violence, druggings, defrauding school districts, the police, counties, public universities, keeping people in shacks, kicking and hosing others, driving under the influence??? Do these people really think they can continue and nobody will notice?? The false reports are the stupidest and thefts including the real estate fraud!!

Here is his passport to use to report to the proper authorities. Lets make sure he is arrested in his home country of Namibia and/or when he tries to smuggle real or fake diamonds to other countries to scam people.

So, here's an update. I tried calling Aisin Seiki but their 1-800 customer service number has no option for English (e.g for English, press 1). I went along with the flow and told the "interviewer" that I deposited the check Thursday afternoon. Friday morning she followed-up with me if the check is available. I told her, "No, you know how it is with credit unions: they are always keeping your account safe and sure." I told her that my online account shows that $500 will be available in 2-3 days, $1000 in 5-7 days, $1000 in 8-15 days, 1000 in 16-25 days, and the rest after 30 days. On Saturday, she once again messaged me in Yahoo Messenger if the check cleared. I said "no." Monday, she checked with me again but I didn't feel like replying. Tuesday, she followed-up with me and I told her my bank called and that they couldn't verify the check. Septina_Suriatmini: why? Me: I don't know. Maybe it's easier if you just send the money to a local bank and I'll pick it up from here. (I gave her a list of banks in our area). Septina_Suriatmini: Can you open an account with Fidelity or PNC? Me: I don't need to open an account to pick-up a check. All they'll need is my valid identification to verify that I should be the one picking up the check. Septina_Suriatmini: Do you have a timetracker? Me: Yes, in oDesk. Septina_Suriatmini: Not in oDesk. Our company timetracker Me: No, you didn't mention any timetracker to me during the interview. Septina_Suriatmini: Sorry about that. We have a company timetracker and it costs $369. Can you afford that? Me; No. Sorry and bye. I then deleted her in my contact list and blocked her e-mail from my account. :) I realized that it was a scam when I told her I want to see my interviewer face-to-face and wanted a video chat but he/she wouldn't answer the video call. Somehow, I'm still hoping (a teeny tiny bit) that it wouldn't be a scam. Now that she wanted me to buy a "Timetracker" for $369, my reaction is just "sorry, can't play games anymore." Beware everyone! Aisin Seiki is a real company but they don't have or hire telecommuting jobs.

I was contacted, too. I had the interview, I received the check, and I'm now checking with all the resources that I have to verify that this check is legit. The check was sent from someone in Florida, and the check was created by someone in Tennessee. I called the bank in Tennesse and I forwarded the information check information to the person and I have yet to receive a response from her. I called the bank a second time and the lady told me to call customer service (1-800 number) . The CS lady couldn't say if the check is legit or not: only that she couldn't find any info on the check. Well, before I called customer service, the second lady that I talked to at the bank routed me to another person that verified that the check is legit and that she deals with the remitter all the time. I'm still not sure though that's why I called customer service. I'm now looking for a 1-800 number for Aisin Seiki; so I can verify if they hire work-at-home people. It's possible that this third lady that I talk to at the bank is an accomplice. The pay rate is also $28/hour and $18/hour during training and they were able to contact me using oDesk.

I literally just created an account on Odesk last week and so far, both 'companies' that have contacted me were scams. Aisin has been the most recent and I won't lie, I'm feeling pretty bummed. I just finished my 'interview' and honestly at first (because I was being optimistic) was looking past the poor grammar and inability to punctuate or use proper caps because I figured I was dealing with someone from another country and English was not their first language. Despite the silly questions I was asked, I was still seeing things with rose colored glasses, especially when they told me the pay would be $28 an hour, $18 for training. Visions of getting bills paid and saving a little and hell, living a little danced through my head and before I could think twice.... I gave whoever that was my address. They said they would send a company check for me to deposit into my account and that once I did that and the check cleared within 24 hours I could order the software needed to proceed. I didn't even blink, I was completely naive and responded with 'Okay' as requested by my interviewer. Of course once I got off of 'Google Hangouts' I started to think more and more as I prepared my meatloaf. Of course this was after I texted my husband boasting that I had landed a dream job and now he's laughing at me. So they know my name and my address, should I be concerned? What do I do once I get that check? Obviously I'm not going to cash it, but do I go to the police? Do I call the FBI? Do I jump a fence at the White House? What?! This sucks that there are people out their preying on suckers like me! Fortunately, I sat down and researched a little because the me from ten years ago would have skipped to the bank. Obviously, they are perfecting their method and I can only assume this scam is working on enough people which stinks. I have four kids, working out of the home is out of the question and I can't find anything legit.

AISIN SCAM I was also approached by AISIN or someone that said they worked for AISIN. Same scam. Send 770.00 though western uniion to get their software and I would be reimbursed with my first pay check. They would never talk on the phone just Yahoo IM or text. I am supposed to get my PC tomorrow. I am not holding my breath. Stay away from them.
