I applied to a job on LinkedIn as a part time remote bookkeeper. The company website was legitimate. The job wasn’t. Because I sent in my resume, they had my email address.

They sent me an email inviting me to interview for a part time remote bookkeeping job through Microsoft Teams. They used a different legitimate company for this job invitation and they impersonated an actual employee from the company that you could lookup on LinkedIn. I contacted the employee to find out if I was actually messaging him. He told me no, that it was a scam. I gave the employee the Microsoft Team messaging link.

Prior to this, I went through the interview and things didn’t add up. They asked me interview questions and then said that I had the job. They didn’t ask me to take a skills test. They didn’t ask for a second interview. The person sent me an email with an employee contract and a blank I-9 to fill out and sign. They asked me to send it back. I told them that I needed to think about it. Then the scammer told me to contact him back the next day at 9:00am. I never got back to them.

App optimization work where we need to complete 2/3 assignments each day and each assignment is made up of 1/40 submissions we start work with 100 USD and if we encounter any negative number we need to fund our account again by putting money in, so we start with 100 Dollars and start the optimization of 1/40 task so as we do it if you get a negative number say 12/40 we get a number like -129 that means we need to put in $129 more in order to finish the assignment and we can get many negative numbers so as long as we fund it we should be able to complete the mission and eventually all money we put in return to us at the end by us fully withdraw our funds.

We get 600 USD for continuing signing in for 5 days, 1500 USD for continued signing for 2 weeks and 3500 USD for continuous signing in for 30 days so if you sign in for 30 days and work 2-3 hours a day you can make 5600 USD salary.

So my day 5 I got paid 600 USD as promised and 100 USD I put in my own money to continue my job for the day.

So as I’m optimizing these 1/40 tasks I get a negative number at submission 10-40 which was -729 that means I must fund this amount before I can continue my mission so I funded it by putting 1000 Canadian into it so now I have put in 829 USD of my own money then I continue and as I do just 2 more submissions task 11/40 and 12/40 I get another negative number at 13/40 which now is -1405 which I ended up funding also thinking at the end of the day all money is coming back to me anyway so my now I have put in 100+727+1405 USD my own money a nd the mission is still not complete so as I continue I get another 2 more negative amounts which are -1687 and -3930 USD which I was dumb enough to fund it again by putting now 11000 total Canadian cash into it and I was told if I got anymore negative amount the merchant will help me complete the mission so as I reached 38/40 I got another negative number this time for -11546.93 that merchant did fund so the mission can be completed so I completed the mission of 1/40 now fully but now I must pay the merchant back 11546.93 before I can make any withdrawals. So my current assets are 20800 USD that I cannot withdraw because I must pay merchant back 11546.90 and so I’m stuck here if I don’t pay merchant I’m not able to withdraw my money and they keep saying all money is yours but I have to pay back merchant first, so I already put in 11000 Canadian into my mission and merchant put 11547 USD into it and I cannot take any funds out at all, because withdrawal must be completed in full 20800 USD so I asked them if I could take half of the funds out and with those funds I can pay them back only then they can release my money but merchant want me to fully pay them 11547 USD then then will release money that is sitting in my assets which is 20800 USD so since I cannot come up with that kind of money I’m pretty much screwed here.

I was contacted for a remote job opportunity by an Adam Kubota who said they were the HR Manager at Pacific Heatlh Care Organization. I responded to the initial email thinking we were going to set up a phone call to discuss further. They had me go onto Microsoft Teams and conducted the "Interview" using messaging. A person name Jonas Rodriquez was the supposed interviewer. It took almost 2 hours for them to send me all their info (lots of grammatical and odd language used) and never really had me ask any follow up questions. In less than 24 hrs, they send me a Teams message and email stating I received the remote Purchasing Manager position. I called their company phone number and neither and "Adam Kubota" or "Jonas Rodriquez" work at there.

Offered a job and sent a fake check for me to deposit and then pay them $900 for materials that I needed to buy. I was suspicious since it was going back to the same person that sent it. It didn’t make sense. They are threatening to call the FBI

I was sent an email regarding my resume informing me I was well qualified for the position. Once i went through the interview they sent me a check to cover the material I needed to buy from their vendor. I deposited the check and it was returned to my bank. That check was for $3,850.00. this check was drawn @ Fifth Third Bank account # 071923909. so since I was really needing a job he convinced me to Zell the monies directly to the vendor which was:Zelle name:  Jodell Crowell

Zelle:  [email protected]

I then received another check for 1,482.04 to be deposited in my account which also was returned to my bank. Please stop these people from taking advantage of people like me who only wants to do things the right way.

Thankyou

Jose Leon

These are the Two people I was working with. Brent Burdett and Gloria Thomasx. Her email is [email protected].

The person asked some questions like the name of my bank. I didn’t provide any personal information. Was told I would receive a check and to deposit it in my account for equipment to purchase. I was advised to let them know when the check cleared. I stopped communicating immediately.

Have heard multiple people contacted for interviews, hired and filed paperwork for the job, then ghosted and blocked by owner and management days later. Scamming or tricking civilians and students into thinking they have a job

Used Skype chat for interview. John Andersons english was off a bit and had punctuation errors. First red flag. Listed positions available and then gave a job description. Then sent a link to the company and asked me to review it which looked official. Asked, 3 sections of interview questions 5 in each section. Then says he's impressed with my performance. And goes on to say that they're going to forward the session to the hiring team for further review and get back to me in 15 minutes because hiring is done instantly. Another red flag. Then sent a "consideration stand" with my results saying I'm hired. This is when I left.

A person from the supposed company "Halo Bioventures" reached out to me on my mobile phone number asking for an interview on Microsoft Teams. I was giving a verification code once I was set on the Microsoft teams app, and proceeded a CHAT interview with a person called Jessica Combs. For the duration of the interview, it was very professional. Questions were reasonable and didn't raise flags until they wanted me to fill out a back ground check (understandable) and a W-4 tax form. I was suppose to send it to her but to make sure, I asked her about how to contact the company via email or phone number but she kept deflecting with another question or avoid the question all together. I had asked her like 4 times for contact information but never got a response back and was always left of read. This is for Data Entry Clerk remote position for Halo Bioventures.

I was contacted by text message offering a wfh job with instructions to download the element app for interviewing purposes thru chat. The interview lasted 2.5 hours. Then the next morning i was told i have the job but to proceed i needed to open a bank account at Wells Fargo. I then told the hiring mngr (Taylor Pennington) i put to receive pay check by mail. He then advised i can't proceed unless i open this bank account. I knew then it was a scam. Then i learned here on the ScamPulse.com site that others were contacted by the same person using the same name but for a different company.
