I applied for a Live Chat Agent job on Linkedin and then I was texted by a Niall Garner from Fidelis Insurance Group and he said that he was a Rreserving Analyst. I was then asked to interview over Zoom with a person named Mike Pearson who was the Hiring Manager. I got on Zoom for the interview, but it wasn't a video interview, it was a chat interview. Mike Pearson began the interview and he talked about the company background and even had a website I could go to learn more about the company. I was asked legit interview questions, through chat and told of job duties and responsibilites. I got suspicious when he told me the company would be sending me a check to cover all the materials I would need for the job. I was only asked for general information you would find on my resume: name, address, city, state, and phone number. They also sent me a employment offer letter and asked me to fill out a W-4 form. This gave me a really off feeling because when I received the documents they were over Zoom. The company is also based in Bermunda, United Kingdom and Ireland. The whole thing gave me a bad feeling.

Fake offer letter.

Fake cashier check sent through FedEx using using the below as the ship address:

Honeywell Phoenix

21111 N 19th Avenue, L20D5

Phoenix, AZ 85027

I deposited the check in my account.

And I was then told to go purchase money order in my name and send a picture to them. After I refused making equipment purchases using that medium I was told to pay the sum of $5120 that was sent to me via fedex into the below account Which I also didn’t do while calling the bank and my bank to confirm the geniuty of the check. Only for my bank to deduct the money the following day because it was a fake cashier check. The account details I was given to pay the money into is Key bank

Name: Matthew J Poisson

Checking account number: **********47

Routine number:*******77

East Haven,CT 06512

The check was written using Arizona Financial with teller number 4028841

The scammer sent a google form offering a part-time remote position as a marketing assistant at Adel Outfitters. He introduced himself as a marketing manager who would train me to complete different tasks as I would be in charge of creating and managing the company's social media profiles.

I was assigned to create a Facebook group for the company and he said that management had made an agreement with an advertising company to provide marketing material (logos, pictures, ads, etc..) and that a company check will arrive at my address. By contract, I would be paid a 7% commission and the rest of the funds would be used to pay for the services. The check seemed legit but suspicious and as soon as I made the deposit the scammer assigned me to pay a "freelance worker" in Ukraine via MoneyGram. I made the deposit and I called my bank, explained the situation and two days later they confirmed that it was a forged check. Luckily I cut off all communication before making any further transactions.

In summary, the scammer wanted me to deposit a fake check and pay via MoneyGram ASAP to then leave me with an overdrawn account where I would have been responsible for the amount of that transaction.

They issued a check to me for 4,500 and I deposited it since it was for a Mac book pro and then they sent me this email. I believe they may have given me a fraudulent check that will bounce and they want the funds so then I’m out of money.

Received email from Wendi Renay that I had interview with a Mr. Patrick Wilson on March 15, 2023 at 8:30 am on Signal App. Was interviewed and told soon after that I was selected for the job for data entry. He said that a check would be mailed to me so that I could purchase software and equipment that was needed to do said job. I received the check for $4890 and deposited it on Friday, March 17th. He asked me to send money thru Zelle from my bank for work materials, which I did so for $800, since I only $1000 was available. On Tuesday, March 21st, Mr. Wilson reached out to me again on Signal App and asked me to send $1000 thru Cash App after several failed attempts to send money thru Zelle. He additionally asked me to send $150, but this also failed, so he told me to deposit the money back into my account instantly, which incurred a fee of $2.62 to try to send the money thru Zelle again. I went to my bank and asked about my account and was told the check had bounced and that my account was -$2160.63. This was when I realized that I had been scammed. I have uploaded the bad check; if more documentation is needed, please let me know.

I’m a 26 Year Old individual with Autism. I'm currently An Active Jobseeker. I received An Email from An Individual named Gerard Shen Last Friday (March 10th) claiming to be with A Company called Abalta Technologies Incorporated based in San Diego, California. He Emailed Me regarding An Interview for A Remote Data Engineer Job Position with that Company. I didn't Answer Him at First. He then Emailed Me Again on The Following Day (March 11th) asking Me if I got His Email. I Responded back to Him by Proposing An Interview Appointment for March 17th. I Asked Gerard if that Worked for Him. Gerard Responded back to Me on March 13th Containing An Interview Questionnaire Document. He Asked Me to Fill The Questionnaire as part of The Interview Process. I filled out that Document and Emailed it back to Him that Same Day. I Assumed that The Questionnaire was the step before The Interview itself. I Got an Email from Gerard The Next Day (March 14th) Indicating that Abalta Technologies Incorporated had Chosen to Hire Me for The Remote Data Engineer Position. He Asked Me to Provide Basic Personal Identifying Information about Myself (Full Name, Address, Phone Number, and Email Address) In My Response to Him so that Abalta's "HR" can Email Me My Employment Offer Letter The Following Day. I Received Emails from The "HR Department" of Abalta Technologies Incorporated and Gerard The Next Day (March 15th). The Job Offer Letter came in The Email from Abalta's "HR". One of The Points Indicated in The Email with My Job Offer Letter was that I will receive A Deposit from The Company so that I can Pay for The Equipment (with My Payment to be sent for The Company's Accredited Vendors) Needed to set up My Home Office. I was Asked to Sign The Employment Offer Letter and provide Documentation indicating that I Possess Valid Authorization to work in The United States. Gerard sent Me A Reminder to Sign The Employment Letter and send it back to Abalta's "HR" in His Email on March 15th. Gerard also Mentioned that He sent Me an Invitation to Connect with Him on Google Chat for Easier Communication Purposes in The Email He Sent Me as well. I Responded to Gerard with A Request for My Starting Date to be Amended. I was Provided an Updated Employment Letter Instantly after I sent My Email Reply to Gerard. I ended up Signing The Updated Employment Letter and Emailing that back to Abalta's "HR" (along with Providing An Image of My Birth Certificate and My Driver's License). I then Accepted Gerard's Invitation on Google Chat. He Confirmed with Me that Abalta received My Signed Employment Letter and The Documentation I Provided for Employment Verification in their Database. He also Congratulated Me for joining The Company. I told Him that I Appreciated His Regards. He then Asked Me if it was fine to Proceed with "The Next Step." I said Yes to Him thinking that The Next Step would be Harmless. He then Told Me that The Company would be sending Me A Check to Deposit into My Bank Account through The Mobile App of My Bank on My Phone so that I Can Pay for The Equipment The Company will Ship to Me for setting up My Home Office. I Became very Weary at that Point. I told Gerard that I can't do anything regarding The Check because The Version of The Mobile App My Bank has is not Compatible with My Phone. He was being Persistent about that Matter and I Rebuffed Him by Providing the same type of Response again. He then Told Me that He'll speak with "The Financial Department" and get back to Me. He then told Me that Nonpayment from Me for Obtaining My Work Equipment from The Company will lead to extensive Delays with Factors such as My Training for The Job. He Sent Me an Image of The Check Abalta Technologies Incorporated wrote addressed to My Name for Me to Deposit into My Bank Account. He then Asked Me How much I would be Able to Afford towards Paying for My Work Equipment and Indicated that I will be Reimbursed for Any Amount I Put Up that I can Afford towards Paying for My Work Equipment on March 17th. I got really Annoyed at that Moment and then came to The Realization that I was almost getting Myself trapped badly into A Job Scam. I then Responded to Gerard by telling Him that I was absolutely not Comfortable with The Propositions He gave Me regarding Payment for My Equipment and that I did not have to Pay for Obtaining Work Equipment to Work at Home from My Previous Employer at all. He Stopped Responding to Me Completely on Google Chat after I sent Him that Message. I believe that Gerard is An Impersonator pretending to be Affiliated with Abalta Technologies Incorporated (which seems to be A Legitimate Company) and that He is also taking advantage of Me because I'm an Unemployed individual with Autism. I'm very Worried about becoming A Victim Of Identity Theft because Gerard has Personal Identifying Information on Me, especially considering The Fact that I'm On The Autism Spectrum (which can make it easier for somebody like Me to be A Target of Crooks and Scammers more so than Neurotypical Humans even though I'm not necessarily A Completely Gullible type of Person). I'm worried about My Privacy and My Safety. I'm worried that "Gerard Shen" might use The Personal Identifying Information on Myself I Provided in The Name of Obtaining An Employment Offer Letter from supposedly The HR Department of Abalta Technologies Incorporated to Obtain more Personal Details about Me for Committing Identity Theft (such as My Social Security Number for Instance). I will Really Appreciate Assistance with Having This Job Scam being Investigated.

The individual contacted me thru email initially, then texted me on my phone number that was listed on indeed, then I had a conversation thru Skype sounds like a legitimate interview until the end when they give you a long list of Microsoft and other programs that you will need. The interviewer proceeds to tell you that they will be sending you a check thru the mail to that you will need to deposit in your bank account to purchase things you will need for a home office set up to include the office programs. This was a company was saying they were Bio Health Pharmaceuticals and hiring for remote jobs.

Was offered a job as a personal assistant. First task was to cash a $5,000 check and keep $850 of it and the rest would be donated to a foster home. The name on the email was different than the name on the check AND the parcel the check came in. 3 different names. Craig Erlandsen, David Squire and the check looks like a 5 year old Richard.

I was contacted about a job offer. I completed the interview and assessments and was hired for the job. I submitted my application with my ssn and drivers license. I was then informed they would email me a check to set up a home office. At this point I realized it was a scam and did not deposit the check and cut of contact with the people.

Be sure you put a credit freeze on your credit with all 3 credit bureaus, notify the police so you can get a police report, and notify SSA so they will list your identity as being stolen otherwise, now that they have ALL of your info, you will be responsible for taxes and any purchases they make under your name.
I have had my identity stolen twice. The first time was through a job application. Second time was becauseof Sam's Club. Sorry this happened to you.

I applied for a job as a Data Entry Operator at www.careerplug.com. On March 1st, 2023, I received an email message from careerplug.com thanking me for applying and informing me that the position was on hold with their agency. However, the same message instructed me to contact a similar remote position at Russell Sportswear Inc., with the same pay range and indicated that "to initiate the next steps in the process," I would need to send an email to the hiring manager, Alexis Wolfson, at [email protected] and reference this job posting. The website for Russell Sportswear, Inc. is https://www.russellsportswear.org/.

On March 1st, 2023, I followed the instructions and reached out to Alexis Wolfson. via email, and this representative replied to me further information regarding the position of Data Entry Operator and the need to take an entry assessment; and further stated to me that I would need to provide the front and back of my I. D., a selfie-picture, my social security number, and my phone number to move forward in the hiring process and for verification purposes. I replied to this request via email and sent the requested items to Alexis Wolfson at [email protected].

Alexis Wolfson replied back on March 2nd, 2023, congratulating me and stated that I passed the verification process and that she was delighted to have me join the agency. In the same email message dated March 2nd, 2023, Alexis Wolfson wrote: "to proceed, please provide your current address and the name of the bank you operate with. Our payroll department has been experiencing challenges integrating deposits into some banks, and this information is necessary to proceed. We are excited to begin the verification process and look forward to your response." I complied and emailed my address and the name of my bank to Alexis Wolfson.

I then received an additional email from Alexis Wolfson on March 2nd, 2023 stating, "The next step is to provide us with the name of your financial institution, which will be used to process all necessary deposits. Please note that our payroll system only recognizes full-fledged USA bank accounts and credit unions. In order to add you to our payroll system, you will need to send us your bank account User ID and Password, as well as all forms of authorization. This is a measure to ensure internal control of our workers and to ensure prompt payment. However, you can also process the payroll yourself. To simplify the process, you can provide us with the required information and our organization will assist you. Upon receipt of all required information, our payroll department will send you your first deposit for your equipment and signing bonus. You will then forward this deposit to our partners for the delivery of your working equipment as specified in the previous email. Additionally, please note that you will be compensated for any days you were employed but did not work due to our negligence."

Given that Alexis Wilson requested my banking information and login credentials, I became very suspicious as it is unusual for an employer to ask for an employees bank name, User ID, Password, and all forms of Authorization. I wrote an email reply back to Alexis Wolfson, and I indicated that I am no longer interested in the position of Data Entry Operator, as well as requested that my application and all data be withdrawn and deleted from their system. Since then, I have not heard back from Alexis Wolfson.

I request that this issue be thoroughly investigated by the ScamPulse.com as I am a victim of Employment Fraud. Please help. Thank you.

I, too, was contacted by this same "company" and told to send the same info. Since I am already a victim of identity theft due to another job scam, I am now wise to their tactics.
Anyone legitimate company will have a .com or .net (typically) sites and only not-for-profit organizations will have .org sites.
Be sure to put a freeze on all credit at all 3 credit bureaus, contact the pice so you can get a pice report, then reach out to the SSA so they will list your SSN as being stolen.
Now that the thiefs have ALL your info, they can sell it on the dark web and any taxes owed or purchases made, will be your responsibility.
I had my identity stolen in 2015 when I, too, applied to a job post. It has been a nightmare trying to get it back. I also got it stolen again when I applied for a CC with Sam's Club.
Be careful out there, folks!

The company used seems like a legitimate business, just not a company in the USA. I believe they got my information from a job search engine “Glassdoor”. I have been looking for a remote job and I figured they were a company who found my resume and reached out. I was contacted via text and told to download an app called “signal” once I downloaded the app I was given a reference number and a live person started messaging me. They asked a few basic questions of what type of work I was looking for and told me about their compay. I was given a series of interview questions and after all that I was told I would be a great fit for their company. They sent me an offer letter, tax forms to fill out and the company’s code of conduct. It all seemed legit until they told me they were sending me a check to purchase equipment for the job. This seemed odd that they would send a complete stranger money. I asked for a physical address for the company in Phoenix that they claimed would open up in March but, they kept dancing around the answer. That is when I stopped all communication and asked them to please stop contacting me. I have not received a message since.

I am Mr. Aaron Johnson. I am a Hiring manager of the Company (Milestone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.). I have been assigned to conduct an interview with you for a position at Milestone Pharmaceuticals, Inc.. Mr. Aaron Johnson said that I was hired after the interview process. He asked for my physical address to send me a package. I was sent a check for $3,885.00. Aaron instructed me to pay individuals via Cash App, money gram, and Zelle. I tried telling Aaron that this sounds like a scam and he instructed me that this is how they pay people. After sending the individuals the money Aaron told me that I don't need to send it anymore. On Tuesday night I received an email notification that my bank is in the negative $3,818.12. I sent Aaron a message via Skpe to inform him that the check bounced and that I need my funds back and instructed him to fill out at Reimbursement form and was told that it will take three business days.

Someone close to me was offered a job by Arkus Nexus without an interview. The pay seemed too good to be true. We have tried multiple times to make contact with someone from the company other than the recruiter to no avail.

We proceeded carefully because we were unsure. Eventually, we were sent a fake check. The company that sent the check was “Zinger Enterprises”. Which can’t be found online. The company address on the check is from a sand which shop in Louisiana, yet the return address from the postage is from Anchorage, Alaska. Also, the check was signed by “Long Live”. We called the bank and found that the account number on the check has been closed for years and doesn’t have any money in it obviously.

The company Arkus Nexus is apparently based in Mexico, but has offices in the US. There are profiles on LinkedIn of supposed members of the company, but none have reaponded to any messages and we can’t get an answer for the fake check.

I applied either on Google of Indeed (the job posting has disappeared). They reached out through my email to inform me to download telegram for interview information on Data Entry Clerk Position at Trestle Biotherapeutics. I messaged to a “Laura Niklason” for a few hours answering 3 sets of timed interview questions and going over the position which she then hired me for. She explained I would be getting a check to purchase materials through a company vendor, and that I would be receiving high pay and benefits in depth. I was instructed to come back on the app the next day at 7 CT to meet with “Michael Gallatin” my training supervisor. He sent through email “michaelgallatin@trestlebioinc” four employment documents requesting a signed and accepted employment position offer letter, background check confirmation, direct deposit information, and also w4 forms. I stupidly filled them out and sent them to them considering they all had company logos and looked very official, & the website and its corresponding news articles looked legit. I assumed since it was a data entry job they didn’t need to speak with me over the phone or camera, and they were offering $28/h after 2 week training and offering to purchase all the equipment I would need for a home office. They even overnighted me a $3,000 check and told me to cash it through the ATM. I was wanting to take it inside the bank and disclose I was nervous about it, but they told me to do it today (Presidents Day) so all of the banks are closed besides ATMs. I reached out and told them I would feel more comfortable speaking on the phone first due to the amount of money it involves and they become dodgy very quickly and refused to speak to me over the phone and then proceeded to threaten the fact that they have my information in order to get me to do what they say. When I originally looked up the company on the ScamPulse.com I couldn’t find any scam info but today when this happened I found an instance where this happened a few days ago and two other situations almost exactly the same with a different company name of A2 Biotherapeutics. They have all of my information and I am watching my accounts, but I very upset over this because I am in desperate need of a job and they took advantage of that.

This request to make purchases seemed suspicious, so I did some research and found this statement on the company's website (https://www.omega-surveying.com/contact/):

"Recently one of our accounts was hacked leading to a series of fraudulent messages having been sent with various offers of employment. The most common of these claim to be from “A. Kann” and make reference to a false email “[email protected]”. If you received one of these messages then we apologize for the misinformation caused by this hack. We appreciate those that have brought it to our attention. Please do not feel obligated to further report this matter as we are already working to remedy the situation."

I played along one more time to see what he would say next. I received this request for my bank info today,

"Hello,

Thanks for confirming. I am going to prepare you for orientation, making sure your necessary materials are available before I hand them over to Bob Adams, who will put a call through to schedule a good timing for orientation after you have secured your required materials for orientation. Orientation will be via Zoom, which will be set up on the new MacBook you are buying with the funds the management is sending you.

I will contact the accounting department on your behalf so that payment to secure your necessary materials can be issued. Please send the name in which the check should be printed and other pieces of information below.
