Typical recruiting scam

+1
• Jul 17, 2023

I have been a recruiter for the last 10 years with many Fortune 50 companies. There were signs that this was a scam due to the hiring process and information not matching up.

Once you have been selected for the job you are instructed to log into a portal where you input all of your information. It asks for everything from bank information to pictures and so much more. They make you think you got a job and then they have you fill out your information through their portal.

Based on the information they gather they would be able to do anything.

Please someone do something about this.

This is absolutely terrifying! I feel so bad for the people who fall for this.

Job Description

Purchasing Manager

Company/Facility: TRADE IBAU GMBH USA LLC Job Status: Full-Time/Part-Time

Location: California Job title: Purchasing Manager

Position Overview:

It is a part/full-time professional position. You could start with part-time employment and continue into full-time, if you need the flexibility. This work-at-home position is responsible for generating purchase orders using the Company's money, compiling reports, preparing shipments, and other designated administrative duties. Basis salary will be $124,800 per year ($10,400 monthly) plus commission. The commission will be from 15% up to 25% of a purchase amount for every fulfilled assignment. Benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, and Life Insurance.

Your primary responsibilities include: communicating with vendors regarding products and prices, product availability, service, quality, and other related issues; communicating with your Supervisor regarding vendor information as stated above; determining appropriate methods for product purchasing (from local stores/vendors or online sites), if not previously designated by the Company; prepare and process purchase orders; prepare all selected reports; place orders on a timely basis and ensure on-time delivery.

You will be responsible for the work designated by your Supervisor. You will not be required to relocate, and there will be no long-distance trip requirements. You can accomplish most of the work from home. Also, you will not be required to make any investment nor financial expense.

Desired Skills:

To succeed, you must be a self-motivated, well-organized person and a skilled speaker. This position requires that you accomplish the assignments clearly and set priorities intelligently within the defined terms. The appropriate candidate will become an integral part of our Company's development. You will succeed if you can work remotely and efficiently and plan short trips in your local area.

Probation Period Challenges:

During the probationary period, you will learn how to accomplish the assigned purchases on the Company's behalf. You will also learn how to complete your entrusted duties accurately, appropriately, within stringent guidelines, and within agreed time frames. In addition, you will act under the high standards of business process control as adopted by Trade.iBau GmbH in Germany. You will get training, which includes assignments to purchase goods that are not exclusive to the United States. However, challenges will be programmed in each assignment and will increase in difficulty. For example, you will get the task to purchases that require goods of limited quantity and purchases across several retailers to complete quantity requirements. Assignments can generally be completed in 1-2 hours, easily within your spare time. Also, when purchasing large oversized items, organization, delivery, and reshipment efficiencies will be essential. Please find below the detailed description of a typical first assignment under the probationary period:

Step 1: You and your Supervisor determine all required items for purchase: the assignment terms, total purchase amounts, and delivery terms and purchase locations.

Step 2: You will purchase the required items from the local or online retailers with the monies forwarded in advance to your account. All items will be defined as allowed for export without restriction. The first assignment will require purchasing electronic devices from retailers in the United States, e.g., Walmart or Best Buy. Using our help with buying the goods from the United States, foreign customers will save up to 120% on the cost of some products. And they have guaranteed original products made especially for the United States market. These savings are possible due to the different taxation systems and high import duties paid by official importers. In addition, some manufacturers use a discriminatory pricing policy, inflating prices for their goods outside of the United States up to 110%. Most United States retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Home Depot do not allow purchases using addresses outside of the United States and credit cards issued by foreign banks. The purchased items may differ, and we will always forward the type and the number of goods beforehand. We will always respect your views and input. We have a large workload and operate in many countries. If you cannot purchase some of the items, we have many options and can always propose alternatives.

Step 3: You will send us scans or pictures of the receipts by email. Then you will send the purchased items by mail. The Company will pay all postage expenses.

Step 4: You will make a report regarding the completed assignment. The Company will provide the report form to you in advance.

Step 5: Move on to the next assignment.

Salary and Benefits:

During your probation period, you will earn a normal monthly salary and commission. You will receive your payments by check or wire transfer to your bank account following your predefined choice. For example, say you completed eight assignments during your probationary period, for $11,500.00 each:

Commission for each assignment: $1,725.00 (15% of $11,500.00)

Total assignments are done: 8

Total commission: $13,800.00 ($1,725.00 x 8)

Your monthly salary: $10,400.00

Total: $24,200.00

In this example, you will receive a total payment of $24,200.00 within one week after the end of the three-week probationary period. In addition, there may be an option of receiving your commission after every fulfilled assignment.

If you decide to accept this position under the above-stated terms, please forward your confirmation to my email address or give me a call.

We will have to run a credit check before you start. We will not request your private information. For the background check, the data you provided us in the application form is enough.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me or call me at our Toll-Free number +01.855.9623.408. I am at your disposal from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00 (ET). I can call you if you send me your phone number and availability by email.

The scammer contacted by both text and email claiming I’d already been made their personal assistant and that I need to respond promptly to all emails. I was told I was required to put in my 2 week notice if I wanted to quit.

- Valrico, FL, USA • Jul 03, 2023

Received a text stating they are from Lucky Fibre Staffing. Looking for a Data Entry Clerk work from home position. They asked if I’m interested to please reply with a “YES, I am”. She stated her name was Deborah Gardner from Lucky Fibre Solutions, LLC. And saying that my resume has been reviewed. Once I texted back stating I am interested. The next text message said “Do you consent to a background check. It’s a criteria before interview at the job” at this point i became skeptical. I said yes anyway. They sent me this text “As part of our background verification protocol, we've partnered with id.me a government identity tool to conduct a thorough criminal record check. Could you please let me know if you are available for this verification process at the moment?” I responded Yes, I am. They sent another text saying “we kindly ask that you provide some key information. This is a quick and simple process, taking just about 10-15 minutes of your time.

Please visit our website at https://www.luckyfibrestaffing.com/ to fill in your details. Once this is done, we can immediately proceed with providing you the verification.

As per your request

No data’s are saved on our server” so I checked the link and it’s suppose to be their website. Looks ok. But not enough info so I responded “Is there any way I can speak with you first? I have a couple of questions. I’m very interested. However, wouldn’t want to waste your time if it isn’t a good fit.” And their next text was “A verification stage has to be passed first before anything”. Which in turn definitely made me feel uneasy because that link asks for ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. Including your social. So I responded back saying “Ok. No thank you then. Not sure how this company expects people to provide personal information including their social security # through a website on the pretense of a “background check” without speaking to anyone. You can be a Walter from what I know. Have an amazing day! I will be reporting this. ??”. They only read my message but didn’t say anything after that.
