Large-scale fraud ring using fake web development firms, Zelle scams, and attorney impersonation

I was recently scammed out of $47,000 by a well-organized fraud ring operating under names like Web Developers LLC, Pixel Web Studio, Praetors LLC, and Cherry Byte LLC. They impersonated lawyers using fake Gmail addresses (e.g., [email protected]), used VoIP numbers (Telnyx, Bandwidth, Broadwing), and coerced payments via Zelle while spoofing real businesses and USPTO credentials.

I’ve filed with the FTC, CFPB, IC3, and the USPTO OED. I’ve traced 8+ VoIP lines, identified impersonated attorney filings, and submitted evidence to Bank of America regarding unauthorized transactions.

If anyone has encountered these names or this scam ring, I’d love to compare notes. I’m also looking to connect with Jim Browning, Scammer Payback, or anyone investigating advanced scam infrastructure.
