Someone reached out to me to do an interview via Skype, and they only used the message portion for the whole interview. I went through the “interview process”, and I “got the job”. Upon continuing the conversation red flags started to come about when they started to say all this stuff I needed, and that they would send a check and I would use verified sellers to purchase the materials needed, and I was instructed to keep $100 from the check as my “sign on bonus”.

Accepted job offer with Denison Pharmaceuticals and they sent me a check for $3,885.75 via UPS. Went to bank and check was not good. The job offer was received from indeed for data entry. Denison Pharmaceuticals said they were sending a check that they wanted me to deposit via my bank app. They gave directions for me to contact them after deposited for further directions. They wanted me to use the check to purchase supplies. They got my social security number and wanted a copy of my ID. They also wanted my google codes but luckily I was not able to do this for them. Did not share any codes with them. They sent several emails of the job offer and had me complete W-4. They wanted a copy of my DL front and back but I was not able to send this to them.  The website I viewed is densionpharmacticles.com

A manager got back to me via email and interviewed me with hirig questions sent and then the next day the hiring manager decided that 3 people were ahead of me and thry had told me to 2wait before letting me know I was hired. Then 6 hours later they sent me a message visa the googlechat and said they will be swnding me money for training and equiptment to start my job. I will be fully paid for training and thry sent and offer letter I signed and then the HR specialist said get on google chat and we will talk via there. So I did and they said you will start on June 13 th. and you will report to your team leader and I will give you the information. So I said ok. And then on Saturday He ask me if I had cashapp or Zelle and I said why. And he said we have to do ot this way. I said I rather get a check instead if you cant use my Chime account. So He said ok just send me $100 and I will give you interest for the cash advance paycheck. Then I said no I will not I can $3 for seeing if caahapp works and he said no and so he said cancel the request in which I have his screen shot.

I received a text message about a job offer. I was then transferred to another person through zoom. The interview was text messaging through zoom. Went through the interview at the end they wanted to send me money to go buy equipment for the remote working job. They sent me a check of $5000 and wanted me to put it in my bank account.

Scammer sent exact language as described in here. Stated that my first assignment would be sent out via UPS tomorrow for my first assignment. Because I had no idea what this job entailed, I started researching the company listed in the email and found all of this information which exactly matches what was sent to me. This place must be getting the info from headhunter websites. Once I realized that I had never applied to this company, it's when I began researching the company itself. At least this literally just happened so any attempts to learn my personal info will not work.

I was contacted about a job writing for a non-profit company, up to 35 hours a week. Sounded like a fun side gig, so I said I was interested. They wanted me to download a phone app called Wire and contact "Mandy Skye" through the app, which I did. She said she wanted to do a 45-minute text-only interview through the Wire app, which sounded odd, but I agreed. The interview consisted of four open-ended questions about my career, which I answered. This was the evening of March 16, 2023.

The next day, Mandy Skye notified me through the Wire app that I had won the job! She said their HR department was going to email me papers to print, fill out, then email back, including my bank account information so they could deposit my hourly salary into my account. I was then called by someone saying they were from the True Sense HR department, telling me they had just emailed me over the papers I needed to fill out. I asked if I could speak with someone about the job, to have some questions answered before I agreed to take the job. The HR person assured me this is how they do it with everyone. Just fill out the information and send it back, and we'll go from there. So I filled out the forms and send them back, with the uneasy feeling that something wasn't quite right about this job offer. That was Friday, March 17, 2023.

On Monday, March 20, Mandy Skye contacted me again through the Wire app. This is exactly what she wrote:

"Alright, We are to proceed with having your devices purchased and shipped to you, once you have received your devices I’ll be introducing you to your supervisors and team, you will then be briefed on your official start date. Meanwhile the finance department will be processing a check for you, Let me break it down for you. The check is to cover the cost of purchasing the mobile device and the other devices you’ll be using for work which is (The MacBook laptop the printer and headsets as well). The company will be providing funds for your working devices, Payroll is currently having issues with direct deposit so they would have an image of the check being issued to you sent to me and you can proceed to have it deposited remotely. I hope this won’t be a problem?"

Here was my answer to her:

"Since we haven’t had the chance to formally work together, I’m sure you’ll understand that I don’t feel comfortable investing in a MacBook and mobile device upfront. So here is what I propose: I can use my current MacBook and smart phone until your payroll team can get me the funds. Or if they want to purchase the appropriate equipment online and have it shipped to me, that’s fine, and removes the need to transfer funds."

That was the last time I heard from anyone at True Sense. And I hadn't thought about it again until I saw a very similar story reported here and realized that maybe I wasn't the only one they tried to scam.

I did not actually lose the 1495, but I was promised the amount in order for me to purchase computer equipment and software. They screwed around with my bank account and personal information until the bank finally called me about all of the activity .when I told Bank what was going on. The Bank representative told me it was probably a scam. I just wanna make sure whether it is or isn’t before I pursue it.

They tried to offer my family member a job without conducting an interview and stated that the position was remote. They also stated to contact the HR department to be hired and left no number or email to contact anyone. We searched up the business on Google and they only have 1 review from May 15 suggesting that this a great place to work at.

I found a personal assistant job on linked in. I got a text the next day saying I was hired. It started to sound fishy so I googled his phone number and found this page. It sounds like he’s still running the same scam.

Applied with the company via Indeed a week or so prior, and assumed this was an interview opportunity. Seemed pretty legit outside of not having any type of virtual interview. Wanted to send a check to setup a mini office for the role. That should have been a flag. Such a waste of time.

Scammer named Village of Hillside and Dasia Martinez sent me a check to pay for work equipment and after being processed my bank told me it was a job scam and that I will be affected by it. I found the company on Upwork and she even sent me a short video of her face and ID to confirm her identity. Now my Upwork account is being randomly opened, my bank is overdrafted and they have my address.
