Said they found my resume online and asked if I was interested in a data entry position with their company. I went through an interview via the teams app, after saying I was interested. They promised $32 an hour for data entry role for full time. I answered a series of questions via teams and then they reviewed my answers. After an hour or so I receive communication from them stating I passed their questions and are ready to offer me a position. They sent me an offer letter and asked me to return it the same day. I asked for a couple of days to which they stated normally they don’t allow that but because it was a Friday they would give me to Monday. I did not sign the letter and have followed up with them about the validity of the role and this complaint. I will update once I get that information on Monday.

Social Stash advertises and makes claim that you can make $500 a day, doing surveys, testing apps, etc. Social Stash is a website not an app. People are always skeptical about these kind of apps and websites and are very hesitant to use them. When you enter the site you are offered a $40 sign up bonus which is deposited to your account instantly. Because you have so many apps that make the same claim but never produce any results, seeing the $40 dollars deposited in to your account almost instantly fires you up. You start doing the available task with a new energy. I mean the site did what it said it was going to do instantly! Right? So you complete task after task and watch the money on you account add up. It's unbelievable! You're actually getting paid to take surveys, play games, and test app! The accumulation of money at such a fast rate has you scrambling to earn more. You even share the invite link via FB. And lo and behold! Everytime some clicks your link you get paid! Well I had hit around $722 and said what the hell, I'm cashing out. I hit withdraw. No problem. I was asked for the log in info for my method of payment. I chose Cashapp. No problem. I provided my cash tag and boom! Problem! Due to some users trying to use bots to earn money unfairly we require that you complete a minimum "workload" before you can cash out your account. And if course the minimum is maximum! So be aware of Social Stash. It's a scam! The developers get unsuspecting users to come in and do all this work that they get paid for! The users spend all their time completing tasks, sharing links, and doing surveys that they will never get paid for because of the minimum requirements the site has set in place. Beware!

they emailed me a check for supplies then said to go and make copies of it and do a mobile check deposit. I though that was weird. I called my bank and asked them about if companies here in California do that kind of stuff, and he replied yes (boy was he wrong) so I told the guy to make sure you make a note on my account stating what I asked and what you told me. anyway I did what was asked of me. then there was another checked email and I had to do the same thing. I asked how come the company doesn't just order and mail them to me and her reply was I can get them faster. Anyway, after about 4 different checks I then had to go to a bit coin and send the money to a business for 3 - 4 different amounts. In about 2 days later I started getting notices that the checks were returned "no such account number". I went to talk to my bank and the guy I talked to, never put the note and my bank closed my account and I couldn't pay my bills and I haven't been able to get a job. My credit is ruined because I couldn't pay my credit cards. I moved to California thinking I had this job and it was a scam. 5 1/2 months and I am still trying to get a job, I still have all the receipts of the payments that I sent thru bit coin.

I was approached with a remote job opportunity making $37.55 an hour. The 'interviewer' was named Erika Johnston. It was supposedly for a green company and all equipment was to be provided except a few. She stated it was to be purchased thru a 'local' vendor but when I asked the vendor's name, i was told 'that is to be determined'. She did not ask for my social or anything, just my name and address. She proceeded to tell me it is $534 partial payment for said equipment. I told her to take my name off the list and stated I would be making a police report

Name and they act like they were collaborating with the school system and job /student services to find a personal assistant. They say they will pay you 500 dollars a week to purchase items to send to orphanages and foster homes. They say they will send you a check and you take your first week pay out and use the rest to purchase the items. They say they will send you a list of the addresses to send the stuff too.

I answered an ad on Facebook about a job and it was supposedly posted by someone I was familiar seeing on Facebook. When I messaged her she said it was the company she worked for and they were still hiring! She asked if I had telegram for the secretary to contact me so I gave her my telegram tag. Supposedly the secretary contacted me and sent a a link to apply. I put all my information such as name, address, SS number, and license information!! They even had me take a picture of myself! And I did all of that thinking that it was really for the benefit of the job because it was a work from home position! I became suspicious when I was asked to create a ID.me & IRS account although I did create those accounts but after creating them the IRS website asked if I think this may be a scam, for me to stop, do not proceed, and report them. So I did! And I stopped communication with them on telegram even though they’re still messaging me to finish the process! I just wanted to make you all aware of this scam! It may help someone else!! I even called Kelly Services myself and they told me that they sometimes post jobs on social media but it’s through there company’s social media tags! She also said that this scam has been going around for years!!!

Super quick interview process, then they have you download an app to talk to a reciruiter named Gracie Thompson. They request you get a bunch of computer stuff and they will send you a check and then you go buy all the stuff you need through their vendors. It’s a scam

I am writing to express a serious concern regarding a recent interaction I had in relation to a Data Clerk position at Optimus Healthcare which I applied for on 1/23/24 from a job posting on LinkedIn. On 1/23/24, I was contacted by a recruiter whom identified as Tom Hagen, who claimed to be a recruiter associated with Optimus Healthcare.

After diligently completing the application process, which involved submitting my necessary documents on what appeared to be Optimus Healthcare website, Mr. Hagen instructed me to undergo identity verification through ID.Me. While on ID.Me website, an alert arose during the verification process.

On 1/24/24, after multiple attempts to try to reach Human Resources at Optimus Healthcare, I finally received a call back from Human Resources department, revealing that there is no job opportunity for a Data Entry Clerk position. To my dismay, it appears that Tom Hagen is a scammer falsely representing Optimus Healthcare on LinkedIn and provided a website with Optimus Healthcare information.

I felt it necessary to bring this to your immediate attention for further investigation and action. If there is any additional information or steps you would like me to take, please advise.
