Total money lost: $1,563.76
Type of a scam: Employment

The job was posted as a fake Data Entry/Processor position with Novant Health for $30 to $35 an hour pay rate through Indeed. After applying for the job, I was contacted through a fake email indicating that I should reach out to Mrs. Minnie Thomas ('HR Manager') through Signal (a chat app). She chatted with me about the 'position' and then sent my 'information' to the 'Admin' for review. Next day, she informed me I was 'selected for the job.' And sent me an email from a fake email to do 'onboarding' and a fake email with my official hiring letter. Then, she connected me to an 'agent' - Chad Johnson for equipment supply/purchase, and sent an 'e-check', which she said to deposit. Then, once the deposit was made and funds available... the 'agent' told me to use Cash App and Zelle to send huge amounts of money to people I didn't know.

Don't do business with these folks! Block them!

Type of a scam: Employment

On May 10,2025 I applied for a remote position as a Data Entry Processor/Clerk for Novant Health. Two days later, May 12,205 I received an e-mail with an update on my application from Kim Henderson - Novant Health Hiring Team, stating I needed to reach out to Mrs. Emilia Carter (HR manager) for an interview by downloading an app called "Signal" with her phone number as 267-760-0560. I downloaded the app and reached out to Mrs. Carter through Signal about scheduling an interview for the position. She informed me she would be emailing me an Interview Questionnaire that would take roughly take 30 minutes to complete and to notify her when I submitted the form and I was also sent W-4 form to fill out with all my personal information along with emergency contact names and their phone number. After informing her the questionnaire was submitted and the W-4 form was sent, she sent background information about Novant Health along with the job requirement for the position. After sending the job requirements she asked if they sounded complicated or difficult to handle, I informed her they weren't since I had prior experience. She sent me a message stating the pay for this position was set at $30 per hour during training and $35 per hour after training is complete and the training period is one week. She stated a background check and identity verification was mandatory and if I consented, and I told her yes. She followed up that she was going to send my interview questionnaire to admin and will let me know what the decision would be. On May 13,2025 Emilia Carter reached out to me via Singal stating I was selected for the position and that an e-mail from HR would be sent with my Employee Portal login details. She also stated that on the company portal (https://portal.novanthealthjobs.org/login) I would need to login to complete the onboarding process, and I would find all the agreements and clauses related to the new position. I completed the process and informed Emilia Carter that it was completed. I checked my e-mail and received an offer letter with the pay I would receive along with the benefits they provide. She later informed me that they would also provide a $300 sign-on bonus and funds for the office equipment that would be provided by the company. The funds would be disbursed to me and an agent would be assigned to me for equipment procurement and training on the use of the company software and computers. She stated the disbursement of funds would be monitored closely for the assigned purposes. On May 14, 2025, she assigned an e-check in the amount $2480.00 that was sent to my e-mail for the sign-on bonus and for the equipment. She later stated the e-check would need to be deposited into my account and to send a screenshot stating that was completed. I sent her a screenshot showing the e-check was deposited into my account, but the full amount would not be available until the next day. She sent me a message to keep her updated so she could pair me with an agent for equipment procurement. I messaged her May 15, 2025, informing her the full amount was available at this time. She sent me a message giving me an employee number and stated she was pairing me with an agent by the name of Jennifer Rodgers (Inventory/supply) phone number 763-620-5898. I then reached out to Jennifer Rodgers via Signal. When she got in touch with me via Signal she asked if I was opting to do equipment training physically or online. I informed her I would prefer to do training online since I was not in NC where the company was located, but if necessary, I would be willing to do in-person training and I could make arrangements. She responded back "got it" and needed me to verify my full name and address on record. I gave her my full name and address. She sends me a message stating what equipment would be provided by them and to provide them with a user ID I'd like to use and gave me an example ([email protected]) I informed her I would like my user ID to be my first name initial and last name. She sent me a message giving me the process to have the equipment shipped to me and she was going to walk step-by step with me and to provide screenshots after each step. She asked if I was familiar with cashapp. I informed her I was and then she proceeded to inform me I would need add the amount $2180.00 from the check that I deposited, into my cashapp balance. After the amount was deposited, I would need to buy Bitcoin with the money. She provided me with a wallet address to send $2000.00 to. After this step she gave me a different wallet address to send the remaining balance $126. When I informed her everything was completed and sent her all the screenshots, she stated my invoice was paid for the equipment and would be delivered to my house in 2 business days. She also informed me that I would be assigned a higher position as a team leader and would be responsible for 2 other employees and would be in charge of disbursing funds to the team members for their equipment as I did. She later sent me a message stating accounting was issuing another e-check for the team members and for the petty cash for work purposes. We went through the steps again, from the first e-check that was sent. I deposited the e-check informed her the full funds would not be available until the following day. I updated her on May 16,2025 informing her the full amount was available. She informed me to put the full amount $2480 into my cash app wallet to purchase bitcoin. I provided me with another wallet address to send $850. Once that was done, she gave me another wallet address to send the remaining balance of $1572.27. I received a message later that afternoon stating another employee was onboarded to my team and another e-check would be issued. I received the e-check via e-mail and deposited into my account, but the funds would not be fully available until the next day. Later that evening I received an e-mail and notification from the Fraud Prevention Contact Center stating they were closing my account with them due to the checks being altered. Today, May 17,2025, I went to my bank and spoke with a customer service representative. She stated all the e-checks that were deposited into my account were fraudulent and would be closing out my acct. She also stated that with me taking the money out and putting it into my cashapp that I was not overdrawn. She stated with the money I already had in my bank before I deposited the e-checks I was now overdrawn -1703.52, but the full amount that I lost was $2184.00. I tried contacting Jennifer Rodgers and Emilia Carter through Signal, but they would not answer.

Scammer called and left a voicemail saying her name was Gayle and that they had received a complaint in their office about me and that they would be sending someone to my home to hand me the complaint in which I would need to sign for. If I am not there then they would proceed to my place of work to give me the document there. She said that if I wanted to stop further action from taking place then I should call the number listed to do so. No company name was provided no complaint details no facts provided. Scamming at its worst.

This company is advertising jobs as "event management" and its just a sales MLM style role. where for the first interview they framed it as an event management role. but when i came in person its all sales based. They tried to say "the focus is not sales for this role, but you need to do the sales for 6 months before being promoted. and even then you still dont make any money effectively without sales at all role levels. It's misleading and creates a terrible environment. Where most of the job is recruiting more people to try and sell. but you also even at higher levels need to close deals.

I went through an intensive interview with what I thought was the Compass Group USA, it took hours - I took tests. Then they hired me, sent offer letter and asked me to fill out employee paperwork and send that back along with my SS# and DL# and a copy of my drivers license. Which I will not do. They said they'd pay me up front the funds for the software and hardware I will be provided for you by their company via check and make sure to use them as instructed for the software. They would then refer me to the vendor I would need to purchase them from. Stating the check may be issued out by any of their 17 affiliated companies who owes COMPASS Group (?); so this automatically serves as their refund as it is used solely for the benefit of their employees (?). They wanted me to start right away. They said I will receive the check I was then directed once received to go cash it into my personal bank account. Then I was told I was to do this as part of a test to make sure I would understand their payroll system. I have been targeted by SCAMMERS multiple times. I have the emails of these scammers showing [email protected] and [email protected]. and the conversation documented. I wrote everything down and copied all conversations and have information available for FPI if they can get to these scammers. I called the company they said they are and explained the scammers where using their company letterhead, etc. and they informed me they have already gotten their legal department involved. I have no phone number and their address information was taken off their paperwork sent via email to me.

A person was pretending to be the human resources chief officer for Premier Inc., a healthcare company. Somehow my email address got out to someone who pretended to be this HR person and offered me a job that fit exactly what I was applying to on LinkedIn. They sent an email out saying we've decided to go ahead with your application. Please send your address etc for payroll purposes. I did so then they asked me to go to Office Depot, buy business check paper, and print out a check using that paper which they sent via email. I asked what was the reason for having me do the 2500 check vs them sending one and the response was "Because it's faster." Not knowing how this process goes because I never applied for this kind of job, I did what they said. Printed it out and mobile deposited it in my account as instructed. Once I did they asked for a Zelle, Paypal, Venmo payment of said check for 2500. I opted for Zelle because I used it before. Zelle only allows 1000 payment increments daily through USAA. I sent 1,000 one day, then 1,000 the next day, and before I could send the final 500, my account was in the negatives. I got in contact with USAA and they said the check had bounced and got in contact with the person who sent the check. I did so they said we'll look into the problem and see about getting it rectified, but amazingly out of a week of conversating back and forth, they disappeared after that. I immediately informed USAA that it was a scam and USAA said we could do nothing about it per Zelle.

I lost $2500 I did not have to this. I pray and hope no one else falls victim to it and I also pray and hope that all of these terms and conditions these banks implement to keep from doing that part are reformed, rewritten, and established to more so help their customers out rather than save their behinds in a legal and illegal situations such as these.
