Did the same thing as above but wanted everything to be put on my cell phone account. Offered to pay our entire phone bill. I blocked it all as soon as they said for me to get 2 watches and an iPad. Why would I need two watches? I just blocked them on everything. And changed all passwords and let my cell company know. I also have requested EVERY account text or call me for any changes.

I experienced something similar.

I applied for a job on ZipRecruiter. I was contacted and told that the interview process would be via teams so I assumed it would be via video it was via text on teams. It was very lengthy, detailed and professional after everything was completed they said that they would contact me by 9 AM next morning and update me on the status of my employment. Well the job was offered me to be an executive assistant. There is no formal hiring process afterwards. It was a simple text asking me for my name, phone number email address, etc. and I was told that a check would be mailed to me so I can purchase my own equipment when I asked for a call Leman called me immediately, and he went by the name, James, Washington And he simply just explained that every company has a different hiring process and that this was theirs and that I can’t move forward until I provide him those details so he can send me the check to then have me purchase my own equipment once I deposited the check. It felt wrong and it didn’t feel formal or legit. I went along with it as far as I did because mostly everything is online or remote these days, so I was being open to the experience, but it just felt too off once I replied, and asked him the amount of the check that he will be sending for me to purchase equipment, I have no reply even though he’s been replying pretty consistently for the last 24 hours. Once I started to question the hiring process and the check out, I stopped getting replies.

I responded to text message from a recruiter- Whitney Allen that claims to work with Dice to ask if I was interested in position making up to $200.00 per day, said someone would reach out to me. I gave her my email address and was told they communicate via WhatsApp. A couple days later I received a message via WhatsApp from someone named Elsa, I went through the training and was told I earned $50.00. I was later advised to receive to funds I would need to set up Klever wallet which I did. We spent several hours trying to withdraw the $50.00 and transfer to my bank account. I'm now very thankful it did not work out. However, when I kept requesting to speak with someone or to set up a Teams or Zoom meeting I was given the brush off. I advised Elsa that I did not have a good feeling about the process, I thanked her for her time and advised I did not want to move forward.

The next message I received from her was that I was wasting her time and if all people of my minority like this, she when on to say we are selfish and only thing of ourselves. She suggested that I stop looking for a job because no company would be willing to hire me. I was extremely surprised at how vicious and cruel she became because I decided to step away from situation. I asked her to not contact me again. She stated I had a low IQ and she was a millionaire.

The scammer offered me a job position. They started with saying to upload my resume which I did. Then they said I made it to the next step of the hiring process please answer these interview questions all through email. Which I did. Then they said I was hired and they would be sending me a check which would be used to purchase equipment and software and to email HR my name address and phone number. I thought it was suspicious to send me a check so I called Florida blue and they said that they don’t use the email @floridabluecarreers.

Asked me to use an app I never heard of. “Wired” I thought it would be face to face via video. The conversation seemed predictable. I did not use names. Except that I am in NY move to Atlanta. The conversation got really weird. I told them this is not a good fit for me. Then he got a pushy about the job and what they offered, you can make you own hours, they would provide you with the equipment needed for your home office. I told him no, and thanks again. The contact did not stop. I just blocked the app and changed passwords.

Did not mention where he found me looking for a part-time remote job. Offered me a job for $800 a week and would only take 5 hours a week. I would be his personal assistant. He traveled often and for extended periods of time. He would send me a “guaranteed certified check” for my first week’s pay. I was to go to Walmart and buy needed supplies for a charity he donated to every week, using the extra money included in the check. For my salary I would be expected to make plane reservations, keep his calendar current, and other such items as they were needed. I found the same scam, almost word for word, on Reddit/scams. Different Dr names, no address given. Some recipients were asked for personal info. I was not.

I was interviewed by a Sally Fox for a position as a remote worker. I was told I got the job and was told that I would be sent a start up check once I figured I was being scammed, I informed them that this was a scam they denied it and I begin to ask questions and they would answer them until I asked about the check they wa sending overnight to me. Once I told them that I would be sure to send an image of the check to the hiring company. They told me good luck…. I told them how I felt and ended the conversation.

The scammer texted and his phone was android because I saw green screen instead of blue bubbles. They wanted me to say yes to be WhatsApp. I questioned why and said could not find his LinkedIn. He said had none and how is that real if is a recruiter. Kept referring to his manager to connect on WhatsApp and I said what is the name. Then there was no response so I blocked the number that had an OR area code and deleted it. I did give my email at first to ask for more information about the job but that’s why wanted to connect on WhatsApp!

I was contacted by a relative that her friend had posted a job opportunity on Facebook. When I reached out to her friend, she told me to download an app called Telegram messenger to take an online interview via messaging with an interviewer with the supposed name of Nic Herndon. After going through their questions and supposedly getting hired for a remote position, I went through the supposed background check where I put in my SSN and pictures of my driver's license. They also had me open an IRS account using ID.me which I have since closed out. Towards the end of the process they asked me for pictures of my debit card so they could apparently charge a $30 to $50 charge in order the identify me and send me the check for the equipment I was supposed to purchase to perform the job. At this point I told them I would not give them that information and ceased talking with them. Before deleting the app back of my phone, they sent one more message trying to get my bank info so they could potentially put the check in my account I believe. After this a friend of mine contacted Transperfect Translations and found out they are aware of this scam. Also, I contacted the person who was initially supposed to have posted this position on Facebook and found out this was a compromised account and I had been talking with the scammers the whole time. I have frozen all three of my credit reporting accounts, closed the ID.Me account as I specified above, and reported the issue to you, the IRS and the FTC so far.

I am concern about Job Search Scams. I received a phone call from ****** **** Recruitment Agency, *** ******* ***** *****, Mo. *****. The agent name was xxxxxx. She asked for my resume, so I uploaded it to a previous email I received from her and asked for a receipt request. When the receipt request returned an attachment was with it that opened up all my computer's personal files. This is very unusual and I would like to know how and why did this happen?

I was sent this text message concerning an application i filled out saying they reviewed my resume for Data Assistant the message said "Greetings, I'm Mrs Lauren Snipes from Berkshire Hathaway HomeServices! currently reaching out to you in regards to your resume being approved for the Remote position of Data entry/Administrative assistance role with us, with a pay rate of $35 per hour.  add the HR manager Mrs Mary Keifer “@marykeifer” on TELEGRAM and send a message to commence the online interview/briefing and comprehensive job details ASAP,Your job code is V101. Best Regards. Thank you!" So I contacted the person through the TELEGRAM app and we discussed the job duties they stated that they would provide the fees for someone to cone out and hook up the desktop work station and the things I needed like "You will need Accounting software programs and a Time Tracker to begin your training and orientation and most importantly, you need the software to get started with work as soon as possible.

NOTE: The work of the time tracker is to evaluate your working hours from the company's server for payment purposes as this will be an online/remote position until the branch is commissioned.

Here are the names of the software programs you will need to start work with:

Sage 50 Cloud Accounting Software,  CYMA IV Accounting Software, MYOB Business Essentials Accounting Software, QuickBooks Pro Accounting Software, Desktop publishing software, Employee scheduling software, LibreOffice Productivity Suite (Customised), and a Time Tracker" I did give them my name and address and bank name but not my ssn or account information then i started getting suspicious because I Don't know any work from home jobs that pays 25 to thirty five dollars an hour... but the messages ended they advised me to make a message in the morning but i wanted to aak more questions so when I did send a message trying to ask the questions i seen they read my message but didn't reply.. so i came here to ScamPulse.com and found a few reviews that matched the same thing I was told. This is definitely a scam
