1 scam reported in Glen Ellyn for week ending June 27, 2026

One scam report in Glen Ellyn was recorded for the week ending June 27, 2026, according to Better Business Bureau.

No scam reports were listed for the city in the prior week.

One report included dollar amounts, with reported losses totaling $150.

The largest reported loss, $150, was tied to an online purchase for an advertised inflatable mechanical bull. The seller asked for a $150 Zelle deposit, which the reporter said they foolishly sent. One week before the event date, the seller requested an additional $399.99 on Zelle as an insurance deposit that would be refunded; the reporter said they offered to provide that on arrival. All text communication then stopped.

BBB Scam Tracker lets consumers search reported scams and share their experiences to help others spot similar schemes. The BBB says it reviews each report before publication and does not publicly display the reporter’s name or personal contact information.

Fraud reports have continued to show large financial losses nationwide. The Federal Trade Commission said consumers reported losing more than $12.5 billion to fraud in 2024, a 25% increase from the previous year.
