Summary: On February 22nd, 2025, I was contacted (via WhatsApp) by someone named Jessica, claiming to work for Nelson Staffing Company. She asked me if I would be interested in part time or full-time work. I replied “yes”, and then she proceeded to forward my details to a company. A person named Yulia Havryliuk reached out to me the same day (Saturday, February 22nd) to give me details about their compensation (which included a commission and salary) and she described briefly the job function. At 7pm, she offered to train me immediately on their Flutter Flow platform, but told her that I wasn’t available until Monday, February 24th, 2025. I asked her to send me details of the job via email and mentioned that I hoped this wasn’t a scam. She replied that WhatsApp was better for communication and clarification. I asked her how she and Jessica got my contact information. She replied that Jessica had reached out to me and once she got my ok to share details, she forwarded them to Yulia (my trainer) who then reached out to me. On Monday, February 24th, 2025, at 10:17am, Yulia sent the link and began training me on the Flutter Flow platform in training mode. I proceeded to set up my account with a login password and a withdrawal password. Then I performed the training on WhatsApp, through the sharing of screenshots. Then, I proceeded to start working on the live platform. Through a series of required bank account and crypto transfers (details of the transactions and the description of events are attached), I proceeded to lose $69,070.61 (the money flow is also attached) and managed to withdraw only $3,000.00, so my total losses were $66,070.61. I was promised that I would be able to withdraw the USDT 163,977.50 (convertible to cash), which included my earned funds (salary + commissions + bonus + deposits). Since March 6th until present, I have not been working for Flutter Flow and the USDT 163,977.50 have been frozen. My trainer/ mentor Yulia Havryliuk and Customer Service continue to contact me to try to deposit more money (50% of the frozen funds) to release/ unfreeze these funds. I have informed them that I will contact the FBI, FTC and BBB.

I applied for a position in Zip Recruiter thinking it was legit. After the first interview I was offered a job offer and I had a final interview. As I attended the interview I was told more about the position. The employer asked me to pay money and it raised a red flag. In addition, this individual texted me using someone else’s name.

Morph Enterprise posted a job on LinkedIn that I applied to for the New York State Energy Research and Development Authority (NYSERDA). Within hours they contacted me claiming to be a recruiting agency for NYSERDA. An Indian woman named Akanksha Singh called me and it sounded like she was calling from outside at a train station or by a busy street. It was very difficult to hear her. She proceeded to hound me for information and sent me multiple emails, calls, and texts. She sent me a job description, asked for a lot of my information (see below), and wanted me to email her to confirm that they can represent my resume to other firms. I searched online and saw that the job is not posted on the NYSERDA website, the number she used (202-250-3469) has been used in job scams for the Washington DC government, and the business location on the website does not exist. I blocked her email ([email protected]) and number, but now they're calling from other numbers too (717-346-0558). I've provided the exact working of the emails asking for information below.

I was contacted via email [email protected] about an interview with MRC Global for a Remote Data Entry Position. The email asked I join teams and message "hiring manager" Allison Yost. It also included an interview code. I did exactly that. Went through the interview process and was offered the job. I was sent this message "You will need Accounting software programs and a Time Tracker to begin your training and orientation and most importantly, you need the software to get started with work as soon as possible.

NOTE: The work of the time tracker is to evaluate your working hours from the company's server for payment purposes as this will be an online/remote position.

Here are the names of the software programs you will need to start work with:

A brand new laptop, Sage 50 Cloud Accounting Software, CYMA IV Accounting Software, MYOB Business Essentials Accounting Software, QuickBooks Pro Accounting Software, Desktop publishing software, Employee scheduling software, LibreOffice Productivity Suite (Customized), and a Time Tracker. The funds needed for the programs and equipment to set up your home office will be provided for you by the company via check. The check will be issued by one of the company's affiliates in the US to ensure swift delivery. The check will cover the cost of a laptop, printer, scanner, and time tracker with a high-speed internet connection you need to start work with.

Ensure to utilize the funds as instructed for the software programs/working equipment and I will refer you to one of the company's certified vendors you are to purchase them from at a discount rate due to the company's long-lasting relationship and bilateral agreement with them. The vendor will be responsible for completing the installation of the software programs with the required updates and patches before shipping them to you. The accountant would like to verify if you are able to handle Mobile banking, specifically mobile check deposits. This is because most of our employees these days use mobile check deposits to receive their startup check. If you are unfamiliar with mobile check deposit, it involves receiving a check PDF copy via email, printing it out, signing and endorsing the back, and taking pictures of the check to process the deposit with your mobile bank app.

The funds will be available for use within 24 hours or more so you can start purchasing your work materials. If you are able to handle mobile banking and mobile check deposits, please let us know so that we can proceed further steps.

I've worked in banking for 15 years, so I knew this was extremely fishy! I was informed that I should check my email for my employment offer letter. The person insisted several times that I sign it and return. I asked, "why is the email sent from a gmail account and not an account set up through MRC Global?". The response I received was "That’s my secretary email for hiring and the rest onboarding papers will be issued to you directly by your training surpervisor at the completion of your training….is this clear?".

After reading another review AND calling MRC Global, this is in fact a scam. MRC Global does not offer remote positions.
