Tony Bell and I communicated through wire messenger. I signed an offer letter to work for the company. he sent me a check through the app, and I deposited it Mobil. I called my bank to make sure the check had cleared, the gentleman on the phone who works for Wells Fargo said the check cleared. I specifically asked him if it was ok to spend the funds and he said yes. what he failed to tell me "How long does check take to clear at Wells Fargo?

Wells Fargo is a member of the Federal Reserve system so a check clears within three days, however, the bank may choose to limit access to funds based on three business days local bank to local bank, five business day for a regional transaction, up ten business days for national state to state." so I proceeded to purchase an apple mouse and $100.00 apple cards, and send my supposed employer the receipts and the front and back of the gift cards. I had suspicions several times and questioned it, but he reassured me I would be using the cards to download apps on a computer for the job. long story short i got scammed and Wells Fargo did nothing about it.

The recruiter contacted me and offered me a choice between several jobs, paying me substantially more than the market rate. After investigating, I found out that XW pharma is really a Chinese owned company from Wuhan China that also operates in the United States and has some achievements. I think the person that contacted me might be a criminal that may be trying to scam me for money or information. It's very suspicious.

I was approach for a job opportunity from a company called Webasto Group for a data entry rep from Indeed. Everything sounded legit until the said they were gonna send me a check for the equipment to be set up for home use! Received check in mail took to bank like I was told to, instead of doing what they told me to do I had the bank verify first, well guess what it was fraud, not a real check! Just want everyone to be on there p’s and Q’s don’t believe everything these days verify first!

Messaged me via instagram and told me they liked my profile and wants me to be their brand ambassador. They said to pick 3 things and get them free and just pay shipping and I would get a code with a discount and get paid profit every time my code was used.

There was a guy on Facebook offering remote employment positions through Minor/Mina Therapeutics. I reached out and he set me up with a girl that does the hiring process. I had to download Microsoft Team in order to speak with her and then they said they hired me. I have a copy in my email that they sent me of a check that they want me to take pictures of posted into my account and then purchase the equipment needed for the job. I just decided to go look on your website to see if this could possibly be a scam I don't know if it is or not I have not cashed anything I'd like to hear back before I do.

I was contacted by a hiring manager stating they reviewed my resume on LinkedIn. I do have a LinkedIn acct and have applied for that job. They had a zoom interview with me, they sent me a employment agreement stating what the position is and what the company offers. They then sent me a check in the mail for 3881.00 stating it was for working materials. I deposited the check. Thankfully my bank detected the scam and blocked my account. I did not give any banking information or social information to these people. They do have my name and address and phone number. I had done my research and the company name is real. The hiring manager They are impersonating is a real person on the website of the enverus company. The red flag was the check came from a auto repair shop in MA. When the company is out of Texas. I immediately called my bank. I will now be dealing with the financial crimes unit from my bank. I'm sure this will be a long process.

My husband received a letter asking him to send $25 cash to Beckett group, located in S Suburban, Il. It said he could make $18,000.00 in six weeks. The $25 covered the cost of the Beckett group mailing 200 copies of the same letter to a list of people he said he had. Then you send him back a portion and he will mail out 2500 and so on. It said it was guaranteed. Is this not a pyramid scam. It said that you would get a 4% rate of people that would do the same thing you are doing. If you wanted to earn more send $65.

I was approached with a job offer. James Anderson sent me the interview questions and said I was approved. After sending him a copy of my ID he then proceeds to ask me for my username and password for my bank. He said he needed to monitor the funds being put into my account to purchase their equipment. Once funds were deposited I could then change my bank information. Fortunately, I did not provide him anything but would like others to be aware.

Received a text saying they received my information from Indeed. Had an “interview” They offered me a work-from-home job starting at $30 an hour. The company was called Eleusis Ltd. Told me they would pay for any supplies needed and would do so by mailing a check. I received the check within two days for $3,880. The letter that came with the check sounded off. There were grammatical mistakes and a lot of different fonts being used. As well as the pages being numbered. I looked up the address where the check was from and it was a random house in California. The “bank” it came from was also not real and the Wells Fargo logo on the actual check was warped. Gave it a quick Google and most of the people on the letter were random names. Glad I didn’t deposit the check but up until I received the it everything seemed pretty legit.

They posted a job on Indeed and emailed me back the same day saying they wanted to interview me. For the interview, they interviewed me through this app called Signal. They told me I was hired and that they would be sending me a check to purchase my equipment and software for the company. I received the check and took it to my bank to verify if it was legit or not and it was counterfeit. These people need to be stopped! They made it seem so real! I chatted with someone going by the name Regina Anthony. The address of the company is saying it is out of NC but when you look up the address it’s for an apartment complex. When I did some more research it says the company has been around since 2013 so they may have been doing this for a while. She even provided benefit information that a job offers including a great pay such as $24.95/hr! I also asked if she could call me and she ignored my question and said she wouldn’t take too much of my time and went on to explain that I would be receiving the check and provided the tracking number.

Also contacted by text by Wendy Taylor and then redirected to interview with a Jesse Villiers. Standard interview but when offered the job I was quoted a pay rate of $30+ per hour for a remote Customer Service job.

I was a bit concerned by that. Then he said I will need specific computer equipment and they will send me a check. I would then be expected to buy the computer equipment.

That seemed very suspect but the interviewer did not address my concerns- just assured me it will happen soon.

I thought it over and it seemed too much like a scam. I declined the job. I did receive two emails from them about the job offer - but did not open these.
