I was contacted by a man via text message. He had stated that he found me through Zip Recruiter/ Indeed Job Boards. The interview was through Skype via direct message by a different man. He had told me that I had gotten hired as an Executive Administrative Assistant. He wanted me to fill out a W-4 & a letter of employment as well as send him a picture of my Driver's License. I also noticed that I never filled out an application and he had sent out a check to my mailing address. The letter that came in with the check didn't look professional at all. I had told him that I was currently in school and won't be able to leave until I graduate next week. He had emailed me 2 different checks from 2 different banks. He wanted me to deposit the checks; however my bank had detected fraud and closed my account. Not only were these people trying to collect my information but they were also impersonating a REAL company.

On 9/21/22 via Linkedin.com, I received a resume inquiry from someone claiming to be from William Larry Law Firm for a Virtual Assistant position. After some conversation, on 9/22/22, the individual requested that I deposit a check in the amount of $3,950 for "equipment, printer, and first weeks pay" that would be mailed to my address. The position listed on LinkedIn offered to pay $60/ hr or $720 a week for 3-4 hours of work each day for 4 days. I have since declined the position. The profile has been deleted from LinkedIn, possibly because it is a scam. I have attached the email and other information I received.

I live in Calgary Alberta and was contacted by a company called ARTA Inc about 3 days ago through email saying they found my resume on indeed. I was interested in the job and signed an application form, a training document, and gave them a picture of my drivers license. Upon getting a phone call after being in touch through email for the past couple days I asked some questions and the lady on the phone seemed as though she wasn’t able to answer my questions about the legitimacy of the company. She said they would pay the training period over interact E-transfer and upon asking her how the company pays employees after that she simply stated that it would be discussed in the training, I also asked her for more information about the company and she continued to tell me that that would also be discussed in the training, so I searched the company on better business bureau and found the company had been reported previously in 2019 to be an employment scam. Luckily I didn’t give them any of my banking information or SIN # but still very concerned that they have my drivers licence. I’ve attached the application form they sent me as an example. No company address is stated anywhere on the forms, I was in touch over email with a lady named Shazi. I was told I was going to get a call for an interview from her but when shazi phoned me it was from a weird number and she told me I was hired and could start that day without actually doing an interview or asking any questions. I asked her what the training looks like and she brushed it off saying she didn’t understand my question. I asked her some other questions and she didn’t seem like she wanted to answer any of them, I asked her if we get paid bi-weekly or bi-monthly and she said bi-weekly and when I asked her which day of the week we get paid she said she wasn’t sure and continued to brush me off and tell me all I needed to do was sign some more documents she had sent me to set up for Interac e-transfer. I’ve attached the application form I was sent to fill out and sign & they also asked me to attach a picture of my drivers license with it. There was also a training document I had signed which looked really sketchy and then she sent me another document after our phone call asking for information to set up Interac e-transfer, which didn’t seem very legit so I did not sign that document because I realized at this point that maybe this was a scam.

A woman by the name of Nancy Betty Richardson posted about a work from home job on Facebook that I was interested in. She had me download a app called Telegram off of the App Store to contact the hiring manager through so I could interview. I thought this was a bit odd but I’ve been out of the workforce for a while so I went with it. I interviewed with a woman named Bliss Connie through Telegram. Then before giving out any personal info like SSN or Bank Numbers I contacted the business they were claiming to be from and confirmed that they did not actually work there. I have now blocked them completely.

The scammers reached out about a job on indeed. They claimed to be offering medical customer service but the website is construction. When asked about it they changed the subject. After verifying I was unemployed they asked for my bank account information to "verify direct deposit compatibility" When I didn't give them my account numbers they blocked me. What kind of evil person purposely targets unemployed people to steal from? Who purposely chooses victims that are already suffering?

They sent me an email asking if I wanted employment from home making $2800 a month along with $25 bonus for each package I sent out. They sent me a few packages like a brand new IPhone, perfumes, shoes, and even a table for a child. It has been almost 2 months and I have not received any money. I can no longer log onto my account and I cannot reach them threw email or phone. I just hope I don’t get charged for any of the packages because they have a lot of my personal information.

I was contacted by for a data entry position and was told to download the trillian app for interview. I was offered position and everything seemed legit. They mailed me a check for 4800 to gain the at home office equipment to start work. I deposited check into my account and was told to make purchase for RH software. I questioned the software because I had no equipment to have the software put into. I froze my account and am now in limbo I tried to reconnect with original contact and I haven’t gained any responses. I also have all emails and received information

I was recently contacted by these people from Crystal quick services. They have you open up many accounts with other banks and sometimes they’ll send you the start up money right away. They’ll ask for personal information and make the interview look legit and it’s mostly Text base interview and Audio Calls No video.The avenue they mostly use is Telegram so beware. This looks like a money laundering scheme and your just going to be the middle mule for it all using your name on accounts for all transactions. They’ll even have you go as far as opening a mailbox “for business purposes”. If you get caught up in this your likely to find yourself in Prison with everything under your name

NOTE: I don't know if the company itself is a scam or just the people I interacted with who may have been pretending to be this company.

Monday, September 12, 2022

I received a text yesterday, Monday September 12, 2022 at 11:11am from +1 (858) 221-7453 :

"Thank you for applying to our job post, We are impressed by your background and would like to invite you for the job briefing and interview at Altay Therapeutics Inc. You made it to the Next step for the position of Customer Service Representative/Data Entry, Are you interested in proceeding? You are required to download and set up TELEGRAM on your app store (https://telegram.org/) and if you have one already, use it. Add Mrs Raquel Alexandria (https://t.me/Raquel_Altay_Therapeutics) and connect with her for your interview. Your Job ID is (REQ-231). She will be expecting to hear from you soon. Best of luck!"

I followed the link, downloaded Telegram, and added the person linked in the text (Raquel Alexandria, HR) for my interview. I didn't remember even submitting an application to this company, Altay Therapeutics Inc.(I have a spreadsheet of which companies and which positions I've applied to, but some companies/positions I forgot to put down in the spreadsheet), however, I applied to so many other companies that I thought maybe I just forgot that I applied to this company. Anyway, I was speaking with Raquel Alexandria, and this person was asking me questions about the position but also asked questions for personal information (name, home address, phone number, email address, citizenship status, which banks I have accounts with, telephone provider and plan, etc.), and, unfortunately, I provided this information because I thought this was part of the interview process (I don't have much experience with interviewing). After all of this, they told me that I was hired for the remote Data Entry Clerk position, and I start training Tuesday, September 13, 2022 morning at 8am EST (even though they are a company that supposedly is located in San Carlos, California). Also, Raquel Alexandria said that the company would cover the costs and provide all office equipment, including a Macbook Pro, iPhone, printer, paper shredder, laminating machine, headset, and software. Raquel Alexandria also told me that for the first two weeks of training, Telegram would be the only way to communicate and that later I would receive contact information for the other departments of the company.

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

8am EST: Raquel Alexandria messages me via Telegram instructing me to add my training supervisor, Ronald Powell (https://t.me/Ronald_Powell), and continue training there. I started talking with Ronald Powell, and they sent me this message:

"Good. As members of our team, it’s our priority to invest in you so you can take care of yourself and your family. I believe your interview manger told you that the company will shoulder the bills regarding your full office set up that you will need to become a productive employee, in order to get that done you will be sent a CHECK the check is to cover the expenses of the working materials in which you will be getting from the company accredited and trusted vendor."

Note: The vendor will be responsible for installing the software programs into the MacBook and configuring the iPhone to the MacBook before mailing them out to you. You will only be required to make the payment to the vendor once the check funds has been made available. The payment receipts and equipment will have your name on it because the equipment will become yours after a year of working with us."

After this, Ronald Powell sent me an email with the Employment Letter. The email was from " [email protected] ". The email contained four documents I was supposed to "print, fill, sign, scan and send it back".

Document 1: Background Check Authorization (asks to list my Social Security number, date of birth, name, address, phone number, driver's license number/state)

Document 2: Offer Letter (asks to list passport or driver's license/ID information and picture of these documents)

Document 3: Employee Direct Deposit Enrollment Form (asks to list name, signature, Social Security Number, bank information, bank account number, bank routing number)

Document 4: W4 Form Employee's Withholding Certificate

Once I saw this email asking for all this information, I had a feeling it was a scam. I didn't send any personal information (the information I gave to these people was what I listed from Monday, September 12, 2022). I blocked the two Telegram accounts and reported the email I received as phishing to Gmail.

After putting my resume on ziprecruiter, Haley Maples, a "recruiter" reached out to me via email about a position for Data Entry/ Administrative Assistant. We set up an interview time and day and I was told to download RingCentral to do the interview. It was done through messaging. At no point did I speak or see this person. I was then asked to provide my name, address, phone number and interview code at the end of the interview and to send it to [email protected]. I received an offer for the job and "HR" contacted me via email and attached the offer letters, hr.infirmaryhealth.works I've been asking for their phone number but then was directed to infirmaryhealth.org for more information.
