In the early hours of October 30, 2023, I realized that I couldn't find my cell phone. In an attempt to locate it, I visited locateaphone.com. The website o offered to help me locate my phone for a fee of $0.50. However, I was unable to confirm the service before paying. I clicked the resend button to get a code, but it did not work. Despite this, I was charged $1.50 for three attempts to get a code. It became clear that the website was a scam.
Claimed loss: $1.50
Desired outcome: Investigate this company
