Was sent a check to purchase supplies for training and daily operations. deposited check in bank, made payments via paypal, zelle, google pay to vendors for supplies. was asked to do again is when the red flag hit me in the face. check was bounced frombank after it cleared, but out the 5k i paid for "supplies". used proper documents for onboarding. attached are files of check company, conversation of "hiring manager" with lots of account information of the vendors also.

Emily Manes Wed, 8:08 AM

Alright. That's good

You Wed, 9:55 AM

I have received the check. I will be headed to the bank shortly to deposit. There's also instructions with the check to notify Olivia Marks, which I will do now.

Emily Manes Wed, 9:56 AM

Good, how many minutes is your bank away from you?

You Wed, 9:58 AM (Edited)

The bank is about 15 minutes away.

Emily Manes Wed, 10:05 AM

Alright...Proceed now and be safe, notify me when you are done okay!!!

You Wed, 10:08 AM

Do I need a response from Olivia?

Emily Manes Wed, 10:10 AM

Not at this moment

You Wed, 10:59 AM

Deposited

Emily Manes Wed, 11:02 AM

Alright kindly hold online

Emily Manes Wed, 11:09 AM

I need you to confirm the funds has been posted for use by your bank?

You Wed, 11:11 AM

It's been deposited, but shows on hold

Pending

Emily Manes Wed, 11:13 AM

Alright, the funds will be posted for use within 24hrs and as soon as the funds has been posted for use, I will provide you with further instructions getting your working materials from the accredited vendor to get you started with your training.

You Wed, 11:14 AM

Sounds perfect. I look forward to it. I can also use a different account if needed and can get some items today if you would like

Emily Manes Wed, 11:15 AM

Alright, how much can your afford to make today for the payment of your working softwares to get the vendor started with the installation right away.

You Wed, 11:22 AM

I can afford the balance of the check if need be. Where would I be getting the items from?

Emily Manes Wed, 11:22 AM

Alright, You will be making the payment of your working materials to the vendor and as soon as the vendor confirms payment, she will commence with the installation of the softwares into the Apple MacBook Laptop and have it sent to your home in one piece via overnight delivery.. I believe this is clear?

You Wed, 11:24 AM

Yes that's understood

You Wed, 11:24 AM (Edited)

Does it have to be an apple ?

Emily Manes Wed, 11:26 AM

That is what will be compatible with the softwares.

The vendor mode of payments is via online payment thru Zelle, PayPal, CashApp, Apple/Google Pay. I believe you’re familiar with the payment Apps?

You Wed, 11:27 AM

I am familiar, but currently only use venmo

Emily Manes Wed, 11:28 AM

Okay make a Venmo payment of $1000 first to the vendor, here is the Venmo info:

Andrew Dotto

@andrewdotto1

[email protected]

Got it?

You Wed, 11:29 AM (Edited)

But unfortunately the account I have for venmo doesn't cover the balance of the check, so I would need to wait for that check to clear. I mentioned I could pay, I was just going to use a credit card. Is that an option?

Emily Manes Wed, 11:30 AM

How much do you have in the Venmo account at the moment?

You Wed, 11:31 AM

Less than $1000, but it's also my operating checking. So I would not be able to use much, until the check clears. Maybe tomorrow is best then?

Emily Manes Wed, 11:33 AM

Yes that’s fine but I would want you to book a slot with the vendor now so as soon as the full funds are posted the vendor can get your materials installed and mailed to you ASAP.

I believe you’re able to handle $800 now?

As soon as the funds are posted, you will be reimbursed back to avoid any delay getting you started with your training.

Your reimbursement comes along with your sign on bonus.

You Wed, 11:35 AM

Again, I do not feel comfortable using that account until those funds clear. I can monitor it this afternoon as it usually doesn't take a day to post.

I do have a charge card I can use for the full amounts if that is an option.

Emily Manes Wed, 11:36 AM

Alright, keep an eyes on the funds and let me know once it has been posted for the next instructions, the payment received by the vendor is transfer payments via debit card

You Wed, 11:36 AM

The sign on bonus is 150? That was including in what I just deposited?

Emily Manes Wed, 11:36 AM

Yes, your sign on bonus was included in the check.

You Wed, 11:37 AM

Sounds good. So with the 4876, I'll be buying softwares through vendors you provide that will be added to a laptop, that's sent to my home once completed. Are there other purchases I need to make? Any local purchasing?

Emily Manes Wed, 11:38 AM

All materials will be handled by the vendor and mailed to your home in one piece via overnight delivery.

Emily Manes Wed, 11:50 AM

Keep me posted as soon as the funds has been posted for use.

You Wed, 11:53 AM

Will do. Will check bank multiple times this afternoon.

Emily Manes Wed, 11:53 AM

Alright, talk to you soon

You Wed, 11:53 AM

Appreciate all your help.

Emily Manes Wed, 11:53 AM

You’re welcome.

Emily Manes Yesterday, 8:40 AM

Okay hold

Make the payment to:

@disykes84

Dionett Sykes

You Yesterday, 8:41 AM

So, another 1500 to dionett Sykes, this time via venmo. Got it

So send 500 to dionette first? No I've venmo larger amount before

Emily Manes Yesterday, 8:43 AM

Okay I think it’s because you’re sending to her for the first time, initiate $500 first when that goes thru we will process other amounts

You Yesterday, 8:43 AM

So sending 500 to dionette via venmo now

Emily Manes Yesterday, 8:43 AM

Emily Manes Yesterday, 8:49 AM

Okay, it might be service from Venmo

You Yesterday, 8:49 AM

I was able to send money just now to a friend of mine, no issues

Emily Manes Yesterday, 8:50 AM

Oh did you add them to contact before sending?

You’re to add the vendor to your contact first before making the payment.

You Yesterday, 8:50 AM

I did not

I'll try that

Andrew or dionette?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 8:50 AM

Dionette

I can provide you with the phone# connected if needed.

Android

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:12 AM

Okay the next payment will be via google pay, I want you to link your debit cap rd to google pay now.

Card*

You Yesterday, 9:13 AM

Just curiosity, why do I have to link my personal banking account to several different payment services?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:14 AM

This is because using this App for payments requires you to have your debit card linked

You Yesterday, 9:14 AM

Using what app?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:15 AM

The company wants you to get started with your training without issues and earning funds with the company

Google Pay App

Make sure it’s an instant payment transfer.

Got it?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:32 AM

?

You Yesterday, 9:34 AM

Trying. Declining for fraudulent activity. I have to contact my back to allow this.

My bank is also showing several other transactions close to the payments I sent, that look like fraudulent charges as well.

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:35 AM

Your bank is only making sure, you can call them to approve the transaction

Every payment made is a good payment because the company do not associate with fraudulent activities.

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:37 AM

Okay hold

You Yesterday, 9:41 AM

Some questions.

1. What did I purchase from each vendor?

2. Why are vendors individuals and not businesses?

3. Why doesn't Bechtle set this up in advance, instead of me making purchases?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:49 AM

1. The purchase you’ve made is for the payment of the Apple laptop, softwares.

2. The vendor are individual because there responsible to receive payments and have the materials shipped to you immediately

3. The company do not deal with these softwares that’s why available funds was made to you to make the purchase of your working materials directly from the vendor.

You Yesterday, 9:50 AM

Ty.

If my math is correct, after 150 bonus, there is 219.15$ remaining from deposit

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:54 AM

Okay, you can disburse that via google pay to same info for the shipment of your working materials.

You Yesterday, 9:55 AM

Send 219.15? Via Google pay. To Damian?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:56 AM

Correct

You Yesterday, 9:58 AM

Sent

Emily Manes Yesterday, 9:59 AM

Okay hold

You Yesterday, 1:25 PM

Everything OK for today?

Emily Manes Yesterday, 1:38 PM

Yes Anthony, the payment has been confirmed by the vendor and installation of your working softwares has a commenced

Ty.

Today

You 7:57 AM

Good morning Emily.

Emily Manes 8:03 AM

Good morning Anthony and how are you doing?

You 8:04 AM

I am good today. Thank you

Emily Manes 8:12 AM

You’re welcome

I believe you received the update of your working materials in your email this morning?

You 8:14 AM

Yes. Reading that now

Appears I am receiving another check today.

Emily Manes 8:17 AM

That is correct and it will cover for the cost of your Time tracker with the insurance of all package, I believe you’re tracked the package to know the update?

You 8:22 AM

Never heard of a g1 tracker

Everything I'm reading about it, is not good

Why haven't I received 1 phone call, text, or email from you. Just zoom text. Why haven't I been sent a w2 yet?

Emily Manes 8:23 AM

G1 time tracker is to track your working hours since this is an online job from home for payment accuracy

You 8:24 AM

I'm doing a lot of odd things first, which are not typical in an onboarding

Emily Manes 8:24 AM

The W2 paperwork will be coming along with your working materials for you to sign and handed over to your supervisor in-person

You will be contacted by your supervisor as soon as your materials has been mailed out to discuss the training schedule that is more convenient for you because training is conducted in-person or virtually via video call

You 8:25 AM

Looks like someone tried to take that money out of my account. From the first check. I am calling my bank now and freezing everything

Emily Manes 8:26 AM

What do you mean please, why would someone take money out of your account

You 8:27 AM

I would like to know the same

Well done!

You 8:38 AM

Clearly a scam.

You 8:58 AM

And now ur gone. Thanks. I hope you rot in hell.
