I was interviewed on Microsoft Teams for a Data Entry Specialist position offering $38/hr and $24/hr during training for a maximum of 40 hr/wk. They were offering me a new home office set up and other benefits. I was sent a check for $2,500 to cash to purchase my new home office set up. The company was exponential impact, but the check said Armor Beef, this is when I investigated further and seen the same name and phone number be used on past people with previous experiences.

Yesterday evening I received an email from someone with my domain handle offering me $650 to work for someone as a Personal Virtual Assistant for 1 hour for 2-3 days a week. I answered their Google form of interest and emailed the person I was directed to email with my personal information and resume. When I went to go check the person out, I found that this is a common scam that scammers perform on college students to steal their money. Dickens Tyrone is a scammer. Do not email or respond to any of their scams with personal information.

Was contacted via email to set up phone interview by a Steve Wilson after confirming my email. They sent me a link to set up telegram after my 5 minute interview (which is when I got suspicious). No interview lasts just for 5 min even when asking what my experience was he just described the job as Financial Asst. helping customers do financial transactions. He said it was a 1099 position and its 2% per transaction and that somehow adds up to just working 15 hrs/week making about $2000/mo. which sounded shady to me. I then investigated because I know about the telegram program and scammers trying to get people to do chat interviews on there.

Bsshipping reached out to me about a job offer thru indeed. Which I do use indeed, upon the phone call they explained the job and what my duties were, they went as far as having their account team to reach out for all my personal information. I then received a packages after package and 5/17/24 would be my paydate. I’m so aggravated because I’m a single parent and now I have nothing. This isn’t fair for me to work and not get paid.

Concetta first approached me as a Realtor interested in helping me purchase a home . I was offered a job but then told I would have to sign a contract for realtor school . The contract that I signed stated I would pay 2000 to attend a seminar held by Concetta and her son David Fitts. . After paying the money to Concetta and told she would contact me with attending dates I walked away happy . It’s been awhile a haven’t heard back from Concetta or anyone at the office concerning money or starting date . Company is dishonesty and full of scams

This is a fake company that uses theIndeed job site for victims. I was sent a text from Olivia out of the blue. I had never applied to BbaPhully and had no clue what it was. Upon Googling, theres nothing about this company anywhere except their very simplistic website. Digging further, i realize other people have been roped in with this company and it was just as suspicious. After fecling to make an appointment via the text link, i was sent an email saying if made it to an interview, almost celebrating. It was weird and an experience ive never had with a reputable company.

I was told that i would be promoting products and collecting a small amount of commission based on the price of the item. Occasionally i would get a product worth more than i had in my account. Then i would have to add more money to my account to continue. The first time i had to add $2,000 in order to continue then i was given another item worth $14,000 so i needed to add another $10,000. I didn't give anorher $10,000. I am out the $2500. and would like it back. The person who was stringing me along said her name is Wendy. The phone number she uses is 2163428752.

I was contacted by email about a quality auditor position from a guy named Joshua C***** at Shopping Truth LLC. He sent me an employment application and agreement. I completed the agreement but not the application. He then said that a supervisor would contact me for further instructions. I received a call from a lady by the name of Olga Brown 404-382-0661. She said that I needed to complete a task on the website and then I would start to receive packages. I was told to go in the site and upload my working place of where the packages would be stored. I contacted the ScamPulse.com by phone because it sounded like a scam. I spoke to a representative that told me to go to the website and file a report.

After you understand the training, you can decide whether to accept it or not and continue learning, okay?

First they contact you using WhatsApp and tell you that you can make money upto $200 per hour. Initially they gave you some money to build the trust and then on the name of combination task they ask you to put money in the account all the time until you get broke. I lost $10000. Please be aware.

Mrs Melissa Hammons 41 years of age from Boston MA been with the Santhera pharmaceuticals for 3 years and 4 months has an MA and a MBA and a BA They approached me through a text saying they received my resume and they wanted to interview me. a lot of these text offers come out on career builder. I had conversations about working from home I applied for a Data Processing job with her, went through an interview process on Microsoft Teams, sent me a contract says the pay would be $49.55 after training at $29.55. equipment would be sent then she sent me a check for $2980.00. I had to print and mobile deposit but this was what tipped me off, later I was supposed to send back first $500 by ZELLE (would not send because I was a new member of it) then $2700 of it first by a bank transfer then by a bank wire then with unsigned money orders. the bank refused to send the wire because the check had not cleared then the post office said not to send unsigned money orders which I knew at which time our power went out and I decided I had had enough. the check has not cleared yet I told Mrs Hammons to cancel the check and will change the account number tomorrow there are a lot of these types of jobs coming out on Career builder I think I have about 10 text messages saying our company wants to interview you. I have spent 2 to 4 hours on Teams with this woman and today 8 hours and I will not see a Penney for it. I really need a good job but this is stupid. Putting an unsigned money order in the mail is the same as putting cash in the mail. She constantly wanted me to let her know when I was at the bank or the post office She was constantly after me to do what she said. So back to my failing job search. I really hope someone takes these people down. I never spoke to anyone on the phone just the text and Teams. Please do not publish my name, personal information or address. A lot of Job searches are a scam and do not put any usable jobs out there. I see very few true jobs on these job sites.

I was sent an email to my university account email about a job offer for part-time with no experience necessary just a good personality and friendliness and persistence are required below. There was a button to register. It sent me to a link of Google forms to add my personal information, such as my first name my last name, my email and my home address and my phone number. Two hours later I received a text message of the person who is hiring called Graham Rossman. He told me I had to click the link that was sent to my personal email and that most likely it would be sent in my spam folder , he wanted me to confirm by replying to the email that he sent below. In that email there was an attached word document. In the document he showed my first task it said: in your capacity you’d be purchasing some toys and other gifts items for the orphanage homes I’ll be emailing you the list of all items to be purchased at the store and all the necessary information on how to get it mailed out to the orphanage homes, be providing the funds which you would use to purchase these items and the fund will be in a form of a cashiers check and it will be issued to you along with your agreed weekly allowance $750 as soon you receive the cashiers check you will deduct your weekly allowance $750 from it and the rest will be used to purchase gift items. Do you have an existing bank account where you can deposit your check? If yes, what’s the name of the bank confirm your mailing address? What is your mobile number that receives text messages? Do you know how to initiate a mobile deposit depositing a check with your phone, confirm full name what is your mobile deposit limit.

I instantly realized it was a scam and blocked the number and reported to spam. Another tactic in the first email that was sent to me which by the way was not sent from him. It was sent by another email. [email protected] to apply to this offer. In the google form it also explained the following: greetings MDC community I Mr. Graham Brosman, and I work as a clinical counselor for the department of disability of the United Nations international children’s emergency fund UNICEF I need a virtual various to help me manage my daily life and improve my productivity, provide individual and group therapy, coaching assessment and academic screenings to support students and individuals with disabilities physical, chronic psychiatric and invisible registered with UNICEF large serve by mental psychiatric disabilities or comorbid psychiatric disabilities and need mental support to be successful in addition with academic difficulties and no diagnosis are seen in excess through the academic screening assessment process.

Seen a job posting for a work from home job on Facebook, I commented on the post and soon got a DM in messenger that told me to download the signal private messenger app. I being cautious did my research and looked up the number +18106662306 and name “Brandi Coates” and found a similar experience on this website (bbb.org). Figured sharing my experience would gain this problem some attention.
