The Job Landing Experience. I applied on the website which is now down. It rerouted me to an Acquity scheduling website and I purchased the NON-PHONE RESUME package with my credit card. I got an email with the confirmation purchase and another email for an appointment that was supposed to be for 8/13/2024 for 3:30pm. I never received the appointment, no one called, and when I did my research, I found out that other people had been scammed as well.

Received an envelope via priority mail. Contained a letter and a check from LTS Corporation for $3850.00. Wants me to deposit check into my account. Want a screenshot of deposit receipt and reference number AMSHOPA/3219/US to a supervisor at 598-423-6533. Once funds available I keep $500 as payment use $3350 for purchasing assignments but they also want you to purchase a postal money order for that amount and have it sent to another post office.

I was offered a remote, work from home position by one Olive Blair who claimed to be working in HR for Openwire Agency. I interviewed with them via telephone, and I began employment on August 1,2024 after discussing salary, expectations, and after filing out all the new hire paperwork and onboarding. I was then instructed to wait for a trainer to reach out via Telegram to begin my training. An Adam Dohan contacted me and said he'd be my trainer. After a week of training activities and tests I went to sign in for work on Monday at my scheduled time and the entire telegram chat had been deleted and I was unable to reestablish contact with my trainer I have not heard anything from anyone and I am unable to contact them. I also have not been paid for either my training or my work as I was told I would be.

The openwire page lists them as being based out of Tel Aviv Israel

They called me regarding an "application" that they saw on indeed. I did not apply to them as i was randomly contacted by them for a job as a customer service rep. I was hired in December 2023 after an in person interview where i had to fill out forms and supply my id and ssn. I was then told that I had to pay $35 for a background check. I had to cashapp them the money. Once hired i was given a random phone to call "clients" for bartending opportunity and to bring them in for an interview. I was promised "commission based payment that would roll into a hourly pay position. The job had us read a script, call people who responded to an ad on craigslist or indeed and tell them about the "opportunities". I was with them for a month and was never paid for what i was owed. In return i had people call my personal number threatening me and that was when i left the "job" . I tried callinf them in regards to getting my pay for my time there but never got the money. Melanie who ran the business told me that they dont have the money to pay for electricity and other expenses each time i called.

I received a text message saying that I was being offered a position as a payroll assistant, saying they got my resume from indeed. They told me I would have to have different kinds of materials to do this job, but when I told them I didn't have the money to buy these items, they told me a check would be issued of almost $5,000 to purchese the items and for my training period. That I would have to have a local bank or credit union account to be able to cash these checks. They wanted my address and name to send these checks which I didn't give to them. I did ask them how did I know it wasn't a scam and they sent back with a link to their website which completely threw me off when I noticed it was a WhatsApp number as their contact line.

Was contacted by Madhuri Gupta on LinkedIn and asked me not to respond to her job offer via Linked in but via email she provided. I responded to that email and she then responded offering me a data entry position for Amazon Web Services . I expressed my interest and next email they offered me position and told me they would send me check for $2,450 in order to buy equipment needed for the job as well as $250 for my first week of work. I received a cashier’s check in the mail for $2,450 which I didn’t not cash because it seemed fishy. The return name and address on the check listed a company named Shapes Secrets LLC which was strange to me because employer was supposed to be Amazon Web Services. I told Ms Gupta I would not be depositing the check and I never heard back from her which pretty much confirmed my suspicions.

I received an email from my school regarding a paid humanitarian job. I didn't believe it at first but chose to do it because it was sent from my school, making it seem legitimate. I was told to fill out a google form and not long after they emailed me and asked about my address and what bank I used. I was still skeptical and went to research about it but couldn’t find anything. I chose to believe it because the questions they asked seemed “realistic” and it didn’t seem like they were forcing you to tell them your personal info like passwords. I was asked to answer a series of interview questions in the email itself which made no sense, but I had no knowledge about these scams so I moved forward. At this time they asked me to deposit a check that was $948.45. This was before I researched about it and knowing it was a fraudulent check. I went and deposited it and the check went on hold. While this was happening, they wanted me to support the kids at the orphanage by donating $300. I told him I was happy to help but I didn’t have $300 so they asked me to buy a $50 apple gift card instead. $50 was all I had so I went on and did it and gradually I noticed I couldn’t find any details about the person when I searched them up on the company website and I was confused on why my bank was returning the check. I researched and found out about the fake check they used and their terrible spelling and grammar errors became more obvious it was a scam. Looking back the offers seemed too good to be true and I only held on to thinking it was real was because it was from my school and the email was also an email used in my school.

They offered me a job working at a staffing agency and said that I would be making this amount of money an hour. Than went over the job in detail with me and asked if I had any questions and sent me another email explaining what they needed from me to proceed.
