I applied for a job on career builder and got a referral to Orchid Pharm and heard nothing but the bad news that this company does not actually exist. I am happy that I found out it was a scam before I gave personal information about myself. I thought it was too good to be true because there were no background checks and they gave me the job right away. They said I could work from home making $43/hr. Its crazy that people pull on heart strings and get your hopes up. I'm very disappointed.

Beware these people pose as a remote job offer.

They sent me a check and told me to go deposit it yeah right, I did my research on these kind of scams.

Google mail kept blocking me from sending any documents thank goodness for that security

Telegram was the choice of platform for communication.

I was approached by an email from Gig She Finance about an unbailable job opportunity working from home. They asked me to send my updated resume and info to run a background screen and then they would be in touch. Days later I got an email saying congratulations you got the job but I didn't have an interview or speak to anyone on the phone. They sent an additional email asking me to sign a contract and fill out documents with my bank account info, cash app and zelle info so I can get paid. Not sounding right I tried to call the person at the phone # provided but could not get anyone. Then I looked up the company and could not see that anyone knew anything about this company and no job review history on this company. I did not fill out the info as they requested as I truly think they just wanted my bank info.

I was approached with an email for a job offer of remote job of payment assistant with the company. I was told that for training purposes they would put company money in my personal bank account to learn how to do the job. When I refused to use my personal bank account instead of explaining things, they promptly hung up the phone.

I was initially contacted via text message by a woman who claimed they found my resume on Indeed. She claimed she worked for CAP Holdings S.p.A. She claimed that they were searching for a Data Entry Representative and that it was a remote position. I was then connected to a man named Matteo Colle, a hiring manager that supposedly works for the company, whose corporate offices are based in Italy but their support office is located in Delaware, and a branch is supposedly being built in Norfolk, VA. The virtual interview took place entirely on the Telegram app. Once I was "hired", I was sent a USCIS I-9 Form, a W-4 Form, and a Job Offer Letter, all of which I was asked to fill out and send back via email. Later on I was sent 2 checks via FedEx, which I deposited in to my account. These 2 checks were to be used to buy my equipment. After receiving the checks I went to my bank and deposited them in to my account. For some reason I decided to look more in to the company. I kept trying to find news of the company opening a branch in Norfolk, VA and did not find any. I decided to contact the company myself. After speaking with someone in the company via chat, she reassured me that they are only based in Italy and have no connections in the USA. I confronted "Matteo Colle" via our method of communication (Telegram) and told him that I did not feel comfortable having money that did not belong to me in my bank account. I asked him if I could send him back the money and he asked me to wire it to him, for some reason the wire wasn't going through so he decided to give me a cell phone number and asked me to use Apple Cash to send him the money. I sent him the money through Apple Cash and he received it. After receiving the money "Matteo Colle" cleared our entire chat history on Telegram and disappeared. I thought things had ended there, but a few days later my bank notified me about the check and said it was fraudulent. So my bank account was over drafted and charged. This made them close all my bank accounts with them and had to pay back about $10,000.00 to cover the funds for the fake checks, and the overdraft fees. I tried to message them using the phone number that was provided to me to send them the money via Apple Cash, no response. I did however find the phone number linked to a social media account, and I believe this person may be the one responsible for this scam. I have evidence that I will be more then happy to share with anyone interested.

Thomas Roland contacted me via linked in. I just tried to get his linked in link... it has been deleted. I was told I would be a personal assistant. I needed to go purchase 2500 in gift cards and give the numbers to him and he would pay me back. My credit card was not approved for such a purchase. He ask for my phone co, bank account and credit cards. I stated he was a widower and he traveled a lot but needed a good assistant. Then he asked me if I was married which was a flag for sure. I reported him as a scammer on linked in, and I was informed that his account was valid. That was in January/Feb of 2022 and now his account is no longer working on linked in.

I received a text from someone named Mrs. Beverly G. Peterson, who claimed to be the Director of Quality Control and Employee Compliance for Zuellig. She told me she fold my resume on WorkinTexas.org, & she thought I would be good for the company. She told me to download Skype to conduct my interview. When we started our Skype, she only wanted to text. When I stated that we were on Skype, and asked can we video chat, She refused & told me if I'm hired that's when I'll get a call from my supervisor. After 15 minutes of waiting and me asking questions about benefits, she told me I was hired. Just like that. She stopped responding to messages after that.

Told me that I would need software for the job and they would be sending me a check to deposit in order to add the software that I would need for employment. And told that I would need to log in daily between 8am and 4 pm.

The scammer offered me and interview via facebook Chats, I agreed to the interview. I met with Ms Mallen A. Ramirez is what I was told. The offer was for full time\part time Data Entry Clerk. She explained I would work as a Facebook recruiter until I got my materials delivered in my mail. And that I would get paid on Friday for doing that. It was then explained that the company would provide a bunch of materials for the job and it would be delivered via Fed Ex including a W-4. And gave me a list of the materials I would need to start working. She took my full name, DOB, and Bank information. The company would provide me wit payments to buy a Visa Prepaid Card for the installation of the equipment before they were shipped. Then explained I would receive a check of 15,000 for the installations of all equipment and working materials for the remote position and I was told to deposit the check only through my banks ATM Machine. I was concerned I had no face to face, phone call or written proof the employer actually existing. I told the MS Romirez I didn’t feel comfortable putting a large check through my ATM and that the company could just send me a check themselves and I wanted proof of vendor and company legitimacy. I was sent the following website; Newegg.com. They then asked if I have a bitcoin machine around me. Sent me a link to locate one Link they sent me Libertyx.com

I have reason to believe the scammers intended me to deposit a large check which I then would purchase materials from said vendor and my account would be responsible for either money that they reversed from the check or I would have involved in money laundering, That is when the response stopped. I have screenshots of entire chats and the person I got the information from off from Facebook no longer has a profile.

I was reached out to a couple weeks ago from a lady claiming to be their HR rep. Interview was conducted through the Wire app and all correspondence was as well with a man named Richard. Over the two weeks I was asked to complete tasks including filling out an online employee contract, basic training for the administration assistant position , and lastly depositing a check that was shipped to me through FedEx from them into my bank account to be used for equipment and software needed for the job. The check went through and I was told to take a portion of it and through an online paying site send it to an online vendor in order to get the software. I did this and my bank was charged twice for the transaction which has since been reported to my bank. I do have screenshots of all of these interactions on the apps, emails, and my bank. When confronted in the Wire app, they did not respond after I asked them to provide their company receipt for writing out the check they sent to prove that the check was real.

I was messaged by a company to become a brand ambassador (as I have done many times before with my work/online persona). They offered a percentage off for product to get started in return for a personal discount code to earn commissions. I purchased a pair of boots at $190 and received an email saying the shipment was on its way. After 6 months I began emailing the company to ask where my shipment was; they assured it was on its way. After year 1, I became very frustrated because they were posting other ambassadors with their gear, I began to write comments and reviews about them being scammers, they continued to delete my reviews and comments, and then completely ignored my emails. NOW it’s almost 3 years later and I’m getting messages again about becoming a “brand ambassador” again for them. I messaged them again now with my invoice and they respond with “we apologize for the inconvenience, your order is on the way” …seriously, these people need to be held accountable for their lies.

After appliance a job on, indeed I received an email and took an assessment quiz. I received emails from [email protected] and [email protected] both claiming to be from different departments in the company. I was asked for my photo ID and I sent that. I was sent an employment contract and signed and returned it. I put in my two weeks notice and quit my job. Then I found out it was a scam. Please warn people. I found both of the individuals on LinkedIn and they both are actual Plastikon employees making the scam seem legit.
