Luke Orchard became a friend on Facebook on Jan 7, 2016. He claimed to be from UK and traveled to Malaysia to claim his late father money in the amount of 3.5 million US. He asked money from me to help him clear the check and it was sent to Mohd Abu account in Public Bank and never heard afterwards. He promised to pay once he cashed the check.

VOIP AND CHASE ARE GUILTY

  • Monetary Loss: $147.50
I received a text from Chase bank that a $39.75 check had just cleared and I was overdrafted. I inquired, seems that VOIP created an account for me, (without my knowledge) submitted a POS transaction and took $ 39.75 out of my account. I did not realize that they also did it a month before as well. I noticed this one because it made me overdrawn. I opened a claim through Chase on these fraudulent charges and they sent me a letter in return, you approved these transactions so we are not crediting back your money. I called Voip and they stated "you requested these services through your email", I was furious. Anyway...had to close my account with Chase.

They are doing check fraud; I'm selling items on wallopop and the same story I have read. They ask you for your email and request item to be removed; then they add an additional $50 or $100 all of a sudden for mover; secretary, etc....

I'm waiting for the check or response and once I receive I will post all their information so they can catch these crooks.
