I did not apply for the position, i had never even heard of the company beforehand. When I looked up the company to try to find information about them, the website was very generic and non descript.

The person sent this job to the university that I attend, and outlook did not mark the email as risky, so I though it was safe. They used a company that is widely known for good deeds/actions. The scammer's google account name is Marquez Tate, but real name is Graham Rossman. The address on the check is 4301 W Boy Scout Blvd Suite 600, Tampa, FL. The check was signed by someone named Susan Der and the last letter is a d. He said that his wife was having surgery in Australia, so no interview. He said we needed to start right away, the first thing I had to do was deposit a $2800 check into my bank account (I would keep $750 as pay and the rest would go to whoever he told me too). The check as determined by the bank was fraudulent. What was not helping with the situation is that I was dealing with and still dealing with another scam.

I saw an advertisement of online work from home with walmart galobal tech company where you have to do add the item in your cart and send screenshot to the mentor and they pay you for that and there is another task is that you have to create virtual order with your money and and you will get the 10% commission for that.

So in beginning, i created virtual orders for the items cost10$, 50$ and then 300$. After that a gift showed on the Walmart app and i clicked that, then my mentor said that i have to the premium task where he aked me create virtual order for an item that costs almost 1800 usd. After doing the premium task, i tried to withdraw my all money from Walmart app to my exchange wallet but it didn't go through and then walmart customer service said, i need to varify my identity. Then i uploaded my passport on the Walmart app. After verification of my id, still i couldn't withdraw money. Then Walmart customers service asked me to put more money to make my Walmart account stable ( https://walmart-global.vip/#/tabbar/user) and i did that. After that when i tried to withdraw my money again , they said your exchange wallet ( tp wallet) is unstable for huge amount and my money got stuck in the blockchain, then they said you need to put same amount in the wallet to make it stable and this time they helped with half amount and so....on ..the same thing happened third time ..still i didn't get my funds and i lost near about 14 thousand canadiand dollars.

And now they are saying that i have to pay tax that is 5 thousand dollars something.. then they will provide me company's technician, who will help me to withdraw my funds from the blockchain of tp wallet. But i have told that i don't have anything left , still my mentor is texting me asking me to prepare 1500 usd and he will help me with rest to pay the taxes. That's how he wants to get more money from me.

Every time the money i put for virtual tasks and the stabilization of accounts , i had to change it to the US currency and they provided me the sellers from where i bought the US dollars.

They have literally made me mentally sick. I am so stressed because i don't have anything left. I have expenses as well as i have to return the burrowed money to the people. Please help me to get my money back. I joined this job because i thought it's legitimate as it says Walmart. I really need help, i know it is not a big deal for you but it was my hard work and i really need money. Please help me??.

I applied for a remote job on glassdoor the contacted me to download the ap signal and from there we did a virtual interview they told me i was hired. They needed my addresa to send a check to buy the equipment for training the bank i used. They gave instructions on how ti deposit the check plus q 250.00 sign on bonus and will instruct later how to pay the vendor they use. They also sent me a job contract to sign for human resources. The job description was for data input.

IT was a " add" on Facebook. I was looking for a work at home option, so I contacted them, first leading to an encounter with a recruiter called "Andrew Carver" on around Jan 2, 2024, and later dealing with (for training) someone called "Dr. Alan Carson" with whom I mostly dealt. They sent me a check for 10K and tried to make me deposit it, so I could pay back 8K for "equipments" I needed to buy. Since this turned out to be imposssible (and I now know the check is not good) I was instructed to open a new account at DCU (Digital Credit Union) and when I did, they deposited 2300 in as a first payment. My account was frozen, and I contacted fraud prevention there. Turns out someone withdrew 500, then the 2300 bounced, leaving me with -500. Carson feigned ignorance of course, and offered to fix it, but never did and never intended to. I had been onto them for some time and eventually called them out but never gave them more money or information. They likely have some personal info and $500 though, which I can damage my credit since I cannot pay DCU at present. They communicate first through FB Messenger and then move the conversation to Skype. THey chat but never video. They have more or less disappeared but still have the fake check and all the conversations.

They identified themselves a data entry position. The website looked legit. Even sent a letter of employment and W-4 forms which I signed and sent out, along with social security number. They then told me they would be sending me equipment and monitoring my time through my smartphone. in order to do so they would need my account access and purchase the equipment through my account. That's when I got suspicious.

I got a text saying they found my resume on Indeed and invited me for an interview, but I’ve never applied for this job. I looked up the company name, Appello Pharmaceuticals, and I found other people saying they had been contacted and this is a scam to get personal information, such as banking information and social security numbers.

Received this text: I see you are looking for a job right?

My Answer: Hello who is this?

Number: I am Karin from BSSP Advertising Media Network Marketing Center, we are looking for part time and full time employees, our job is simple, do you have time to listen to my brief introduction for you?

Thinking this was a woman my mentor had told me she gave my contact info to in the marketing field, I reply: Hi Karin, my name is [name]! Did [name] give you my contact information? And yes, I do have time.

Then I decided to search up the company as I felt a little weird about the interaction, saw these articles.

I filled out an application via Zip Recruiter and was sent a message through the app. I was then contacted by a person who interview and trained me via phone. The lady informed me that I was to send the front and back of my ID as well as my direct deposit information to an email, [email protected]. She was to also send me the I9 information through text. I have been in talent management and recruiting for a few years, so red flags started to go up. When she sent the I9 information, it was a screenshot. Even more red flags. I never sent my information because I did not trust it. I wanted to speak to the hiring manager to ask questions because some things just did not add up. When I was supposed to train with the hiring manager, they mentioned there would be a zoom orientation but it was zoom audio only. I never received last names of any of management. When I decided to question the red flags through text, he attempted to call me but I did not answer. I had already done research on the business name and address listed on the site and saw that the business did not exist. After me questioning whoever the person is, they told me that I didn't seem committed and that they will be moving on. I told them I knew heir business was not real.

I was offered a job that seemed too good to be true. I saw reviews online about how photographers didn’t show up or how people were unhappy with their photos or experience. This is a newer online company. I was hired and trained poorly. My “training” videos were lengthy video calls between people which consisted of gossip and unnecessary work information. I have noticed this company has a pattern of hiring people, having them do work, then firing them on the spot with no pay. I had a client that said they had four different people reach out to them that had my role. I felt like it was a red flag. The compass wanted me to screen share and get access to all of my information. I trusted them. Right before I was fired, for no reason, all of my stuff was logged out through my computer and I was blocked. It felt like a premeditated transaction. I had realized a lot of their clients didn’t get photographers that their contract said they’d get. And they brushed it off while mocking and making fun of people who were scammed by them. I felt unsure of the business but the pay was good, or so it seemed. I felt like they used me and knew that that was the plan the whole time. They didn’t put much effort into training because I didn’t feel like they wanted to waste time because I was going to be let go shortly after I completed a months worth of work for them. They didn’t have me complete any legal documents but expected me to work full time hours. I felt used and manipulated and realized I wasn’t the first who felt this way by this company. They are false advertising their product. Most cities their customers weddings are in they don’t have photographers. Majority of their photographers are average or below average. They are advertised as the best of the best. It was truly sad to even think I was going to participate in this but they kept assuring me it was going to be okay and it always works out. After I was let go I was blocked on everything and had no way to contact them. I reached out because I was promised pay on the phone call. But when the phone call was over everything I was communicating with them on was gone. They were using a text app Ring Central to communicate so you never really had their number. The email to contact them was my personal work email that they blocked me out of once the phone call was over. This was such a terrible experience and I am truly worried for other people who are getting used and losing money to this company. It is defiantly a get rich quick scam, but hurting innocent people along the way.
