Phone rang only once, then a message was left on my voicemail. Stating Sarah was the persons name and that they need help and to go to amazonrecruiter.org. I had just been laid off from my job and was going to start looking. I wrote down the phone number (407) 877-27843 and noticed very odd that it had 11 numbers instead of 10 numbers, first. I have been using BBB for many years and wanted to see if there were any scams. I just found one but did not have the exact same information as mine. I have not checked out the website in fear of getting my computer hacked. Please let me know if this is legit or not. I look forward to hearing from you. Thank you.

today I received an email purportedly from an Amazon recruiter about a new position to work from home making about 60 K per year, instructing me to provide copies of my license, a signed contract and a picture of myself showing my ID. the email also directed me to a website -www.amz-center.com where i was urged to "register" by providing my address, phone, and bank account number. At first I was excited because I have been applying for jobs online via sites like Indeed and remember applying for a position at Amazon but it just doesn't seem right. why would a legitimate company like Amazon need me to use my bank account to process their business? They wouldn't! beware of this scam

Stan or Pam is calling from Amazon to offer you at home employment with pay starting at 27.50 an hour and they need 23 people this month to review and report on products. They may say that they have reviewed your resume or application. Be aware this is NOT legitimate. Thank you and be careful this holiday season.

Again this number came up as scam on my phone. The same womens voice with the same information as amazonfromhome.org and dataentrywork.org, left me a message. I never called any of these numbers and I have blocked and saved all three of these messages on my phone. It's very frustrating that they just change their number, so it do not do much good to simply block them. Very tired of these calls.

They call and say they want to offer you a position. Send you a contract ask to send a copy of your driver's license and signed copy of contract. Then they ask for your banking information. If you give it to them, they will drain your account.

I had this man call me and say that for a fee of $450 he can set up an Amazon website for me. I do not sell anything, so I have no need for a website. Then I talk to another person who said that once the fee is paid, there is another $2,000 fee to activate the website.

Voicemail said they had come across my resume. Amazon needed 23 new employees by Nov. Pay is $32.00 an hour. I entered the website info but before I got there SCAM was popping up as well. I’ve been scammed and almost scammed hundreds of times and I’m only 32. When will something be done about this ?

I got a call telling me to make money from home go to amazonhomecareer.com and gave another site to go to. I went to the site and listened to the presentation while doing my homework and they say if its too good to be true it is. I tried to click on the eCOMMERCE verified, Security Verified, Business Verified, and Privacy Verified and none of them were clickable. The reason I tried this is because I just finished a class and one of our assignments was to verify websites. One site I came across they said anyone can copy and past those symbols to make their site look ligitement so make sure you do the research on the symbols too. If you cant click on them it is fake.

I’ve gotten a series of texts from 1(410) 100-00x, where x started at 1 and is currently up to 7. At least two of these texts have been “job offers” from “Amazon,” with a link to their website. Here are some choice bits from that site.

From their Benefits list:

“$5,800 salary / month + 5% commission from each processed payment

Brand new Toyota Corrola after the first month of probation”

Responsibilities:

“Your duty as a financial agent will be to receive and process the payments coming from our clients via bank wire transfer. Paying invoices for the company [end of description]”

Clicking the “apply now” button takes you to another page where they ask for your full name, phone number, and email, and say that one of their “representants” will be contacting you “withing 24 hours of submiting” the form.

I noticed a new voicemail on my phone this morning (September 19, 2018) from an unknown number. I never answer if someone calls me from an unknown number. The voicemail starts with a lady introducing herself as Sarah with AmazonCash.co a nonprofit recruitment firm (which I wasn't able to find on Charity Navigator). Sarah says she saw my resume online (I don't have an online resume) and she is calling about an online opportunity working with Amazon. Sarah explains that I will be listing products and posting reviews online in my spare time. Hourly pay ranges from $17 to $32 an hour. Sarah says they are currently hiring 23 people this month and to please register and AmazonCash.co (which she repeats). It doesn't sound like a robocall or someone from a foreign country. It sounds like someone from Minnesota or Chicago based on Sarah's accent. It did not visit the website, and tried to find out information about AmazonCash.co. There were a few articles that talked about a scam with Amazon Cash, but I'm not sure if they were referencing the same thing. The articles referenced a news article on what appears to be a legit site, but it's not.

I do not answer my phone if I do not recognize the number. I heard the message which sounded interesting and genuine, in that it was a way to make some money reviewing products online. The message stated that it was a nonprofit recruitment company and that person saw "my resume" online (I never did this). It offered an online opportunity to work with Amazon, posting views online, and could make anywhere from $7 to $32 per hour. Currently hiring 7 people this current month and to apply at amazon money.co.

I went and did a search regarding the information in the phone message.
