During December, I was heavily looking for new employment. I applied for over 50 jobs and was approached by a man by the supposed name of John Power. John Power stated that he worked for Marcus and Associates Life Sciences Executive Search Firm. I was asked to complete a questionnaire and from there I was told that they were interested in hiring me as a Remote Personal Assistant. From there, I was given instructions that I would be sent a check (the amount was not disclosed), to purchase Macbook and materials to start orientation. The check was sent on January 13, 2023, for $3,987. I deposited the check using my mobile banking app. On Monday, January 16, 20213, John Power reached out again to inform me the funds should have been made available and to confirm if they did. The funds were available, and John had offered if I would like to use their Techs to set up my laptop instead of me buying the materials and setting it up myself. I did question him as to why this wasn't offered before, he stated that it wasn't within the original agreement.

Thinking nothing of it, I asked what would be the proceeding steps. From there he explained that I would have to Zelle the money to their "techs" so that computer and applications could be set up and sent overnight. My bank's policy stated that I can't Zelle more than one-thousand dollars per day. So we split the payments between Zelle and Cash-app over two days (I know :( ). Early Wednesday Morning, I got a strange feeling and I checked my bank account around 4 am and saw a negative balance of $3,987. Which was the exact amount that the check was originally made out for. From there, I knew I had been scammed and I waited four hours to call my bank and let them know the situation. Unfortunately, they closed and terminated my relationship with them even after explaining all that had happened. They also told me I would be responsible for paying them back $3,987 within 30 days or it would be sent to collections.

I filed a police report with my local police. They were extremely/are still helpful in this instance. I also left a message for Ray Rodgruiez who is one of the legitimate heads of Marcus and Associates Life Science Executive Firm. He did call back, and our conversation, was mostly because it was brief and wasn't handled with care. He did explain that this is an ongoing issue and that it's happened quite a few times before. However, what was concerning was the fact that he didn't explain if they are finding ways to prevent and there were no offerings for any help. Mr.Rodgruiez did have to rush off the phone due to a meeting, and he told me he would call back, but he never did. I did send him an email and I also CC'd Josh Marcus and Rory Faulkner, to ask if a letter can be created stating that this is an ongoing incident that they are working on. I wanted to send the letter to my bank to see if something could be worked out so that I can keep my account or clear my name so opening up with another branch would be made easy. However, I have not heard back from anyone regarding the matter.

I would just like my life to go back to normal, I wanted to find a new job so that I would be given peace. However, the chaos that I experience at my current employer is more peaceful than my experience dealing with an employment scam. Then for my bank to still hold me liable after I was the that was deceived makes it even worse. I could deal with being fooled but for Fifth Third Bank to say that I owe them is beyond ridiculous.

Same thing happen to me today. It’s so scary that they do have my address and email. I can’t believe people are spamming jobs like this is what we have come to. People are struggling to make ends meet and want to work.

Same thing happen to me, but I detected before I made the deposits to the supposedly vendor who was going to help get the Macbook and softwares installed. Same phone number they used, but diferente position and email. (380) 222-6549. This person Josh told me to email him to the following email [email protected] for the position Receptionist (REMOTE) at South Kingstown School Department. I detected it was a fraud because he was really insisting for me to deposit to this vendor, and that’s when I put the phone number on google and I came to this page.
