I awoke to a very obvious scam attempt and found this on my first search to see what Bonusly even was (I never applied for it). I've attached the text. The first and obvious red flag was the pay rate, the second was the immediate need to download something to talk to someone else. What, you guys can't text anymore? What kind of a professional business can't email?

Stay safe, question everything, be smart. These scammers have no morals and will try and steal your identity, do not give them anything. I was foolish enough to apply for a "job" that was fully remote with great pay, that's how they got my resume and my number and about 30,000 other new targets for their scam. I just hope that everyone is wise enough to not fall for this.

Shame on these people. They prey on those who are desperate for work.
Be careful where you submit your resume

The scammer referred to in this review used the names of real employees from the real Bonusly company. It wasn’t until contacting Bonusly directly through their “Contact Us” inquiry box that I was able to uncover the scam at hand. To clarify: the real Bonusly company is not involved in the scam, but the scammer is using the Bonusly company name and employee names to scam others.

Through Indeed, I applied for a “Wellness Manager” Position. The company was listed on Indeed as “Evolution Sports pt”. Nothing on the listing seemed suspicious so I had no reason to believe that this was a scam.

I was contacted via text message. The scammer used several names throughout, but the first “person” I encountered in the process was named “Aaron Marsh” and he claimed to be “HR personnel”.
Initial texts read as follows:
“I'm Aaron Marsh, HR personnel at Bonusly, I'm contacting you in regards to your job application posted online for the position of wellness manager in our company, Reply to confirm receipt of this message so we can proceed”
“Good, you can check in your email now to go through the job briefing that was attached with the interview invitation email, Make sure to follow instructions in the email to get connected to the interview manager to begin with your interview process.”
From there, the email I received read as follows:
“ Dear Alyssa,

The email was sent from “Chris Vaughn” but signed by “Victoria Yang”.

I followed the directions on the email, and got connected with “Nikky Cole”. I was given an interview entirely via chat through Microsoft Teams. The interview lasted significantly longer than a traditional interview because I had to type out paragraphs for this fake interview.

The next morning I was messaged again by “Nikky Cole” stating I would receive the news of potential employment via phone call. About 15 minutes later, I received a phone call from “Aaron Marsh”. The man on the phone had an accent that at times it was very hard to decipher what he was saying. After a bit more interview style questions, he claimed he needed time to review my resume. After a brief pause, he offered me a position. He stressed that once I received my offer letter it was crucial to sign the letter and send a photo copy of my driver’s license in order to proceed. The next steps, according to the man, were going to be done through “Nikky Cole” again. I was instructed to report back to “Nikky Cole” who congratulated me on my employment and extended a welcome to the team. I replied with gratitude (as one does when they think they’re being offered a nice job!) and my suspicions became clear as day soon after.

“Nikky Cole” kept stressing the importance of me signing the acceptance letter and sending a picture of my driver’s license to the “company email” to start onboarding. The onboarding letter is shown in my proof pictures. I stressed that since I don’t have immediate access to a printer that I would need time to have it printed, signed, and scanned to then email it. Even after I said that, “Nikky Cole” kept urging me to sign the letter. Alarm bells were blaring in my head at this point but it really became clear that I couldn’t and shouldn’t give these people any information about me.

I contacted the real Bonusly. One of their employees, Travis, confirmed my suspicions that the whole thing was fraud. I sent them all of the proof that I have against the scammer. I confronted the scammer who’s only words were “I hope you’re not being tricked” and then marked themselves as “Offline” immediately after.

If you are interested in working at Bonusly, apply directly through their website.

I reach them out through teams in order to conduct the interview , everything as through message. No video call. After this they told me someone would call me from their HR team to ask me question, (442)222-8325. After this he said I was selected to the company and they would send me a offer. Which they did ( is the attached document ).

I was dumb enough to send them my Driver License with my signature on the offer. After they told me to reach out through teams [email protected]

who would be my team leader , he claimed to be Micah Scott, Snr. Human resource personnel/talent acquisition specialist.

I follow along what through what he had to say until he asked me what banked i used and to send him a picture of my daily limit to receive money.
