I received an email from someone claiming to be a real person who works at this company about a job which I had not applied for. I completed the questions they requested and was offered a job immediately,

I had never even spoken to anyone at all from this company. It was all done via email which got me suspicious.

They wanted me to provide them with some basic information for their “hr” team to send me an offer letter. I also got suspicious when they said they would wire me my weekly pay or direct deposit it or send via check.

Thankfully, I did not provide them with any information.

Received the following text message. When I googled the number, the other scam texts popped right up. The message is almost as verbatim as the others; there is just a different business name.

"Hello! I am responding to your resume that you posted on one of the job boards we work with. My name is Bethany and I am with The Krueger Agency. I am the Executive Assistant to Mr. Josh Krueger, the agency's owner. Mr. Krueger reviewed your resume online and thought you would make a great fit in the agency. He asked that I contact you to set up a meeting over Zoom video conference tomorrow, January 7th at 6pm (MST). I have also opened up some additional dates in the drop down if tomorrow doesn't work. Please let me know you have registered for by sending me a screen shot of your registration confirmation. Use this link to register in advance: emitrr.co/c/2tLyk We're a national company and are open to remote positions.

I was contacted on WhatsApp about a work from home job. Reviewing ads and buying client offers with guaranteed 40 percent commissions. It paid out the first 2 days. Then I had to pay 200 for a 320 return. And during this they said I did something wrong. That's when they wanted 680 to get my initial 200 turned 320 and almost 1000 all together. Don't fall for it people. I wasted 2 days doing work to get bamboozled. WWT on telegram is a scam.

Worked for the company 1 day, did not know they paid in bitcoin. Then they stated that if i get some type of lucky bundle. I would have to use my personal assets to help the company run their website. I stated i was uncomfortable with that and would not do it. So she suggested i resign. I agreed. I did not receive my compensation for the time i worked or was contacted by the trainer to complete resignation. Sketchy info and not direct answers to specific questions

A waste of time.

They advertised a Data Entry position on LinkedIn. I'm strapped for cash right now, so it was perfect for me. I was invited via WebinarJam to be told what this position is about. He then proceeded to talk about travel agencies and becoming a travel agent. Everything is fake.

It seems like a job scam. I got a text from "Emily" from talent acquisition. I put Emily in quotes because another review posted that Emily was a fake name and the real name is Michell Hirsch. Anyway, I received several texts from them and when I looked them up on ScamPulse.com it confirmed my concerns that Bare Bones is a scam.

They are a pyramid scheme that works to recruit people for hire but does not follow up with straight forward means. They often recruit people and people who do work there never receive the actual amount of money they’re owed

I was offered a remote position as a payroll account officer/personal assistant based off my application profile on Indeed/Linkedin. I didn't get very far in the process and called the # from a separate untraceable phone and it wasn't a business #. The person "Eric Ojeda" claimed to be the HR Assistant.

Hiring Manager posted for an Administrative Assistant role, emailed saying the role had been filled but I would be qualified to learn about another position. I accepted a Calendly invite from Edwin, the Hiring Manager. When I logged into the meeting there were 8 of us and he started talking about us paying to become certified to become a travel agent.

Fake interview set me in text. Idk if thats the" usual casual" way of doing things with restaurants because ive barely been applying to some recently over the last 2 years which some have already shown casual behaviors. Anyways, person conducted legitimate interview questions but when I contacted a friend who works in that company, she mentioned it was not real and the interview was scam. I'm glad I did not give out specific personal information. Like address etc.
