They posted on social media about a job offer which I responded to and was immediately given the opportunity to apply which I did. Of the course of the last 2 days I went through the whole hiring process supposed to training. When I was told that I was hired they asked the typical thing such as my name, and address but also my social security number which I found very odd. I explained that I didn't feel safe putting that type of information on a social media platform. They then commence to giving me an email. Upon further research into the email, I found that the email provider is a temporary or ghost email used by scammers. When I mentioned this to the company they try to assure me that it wasn't a scam and try to convince me again to send my social security number. When I would not be swayed that commence to sending me a completely fraudulent business license you can clearly see that it's fraudulent. It looked like a child put it together and none of the information was valid upon further investigation. I deserve compensation for all the time. During the last two days I spent interacting with this company expecting a job especially after being told I was hired. The company has no phone number which is another red flag and once I said I believed it was a scam, it seemed as if all their professionalism vanished and was replaced by a half literate person. The sentences were inaccurate and poorly formed compared to the entire interview. They asked me which bank I use for payment purposes. I gave them the name of the bank I use which is FDCI accredited and they tried to tell me that they didn't accept that bank that I had to use a local bank and when I said I wouldn't do that they then asked me if I had a credit card. No job I ever applied for has asked for my credit card information so I could get my paycheck. A considerable amount of my time, energy, and internet/electricity were completely wasted intentionally.

I received an email about a remote data entry position open under TLI Enterprises LLC, after a few back and forth emails with no real information about the position, what it entailed, and the fact that I was "hired" without a formal interview, I got real suspicious, real fast. They asked for documents to proceed with the "assessment": 1. Clear, high-resolution photographs of both the front and back of my Identification Document, 2. A recent selfie where your face is directly facing the camera. You should refrain from using photo enhancements or wearing any headwear, 3. Social Security number/SSN Card, and 4. Your phone number. They promised $30/hour during training, $35/hour after training, $1000 sign-on bonus, and office equipment. They also asked for money in order to have a deposit for the laptop. I've worked for companies that provide office equipment, never would they just say they'll hand it over in exchange for a deposit and without doing a thorough background check through a secure ID verifier like *****. A google search gave an address for a shared office space in Manassas, VA, but no other, and a little further digging brought me to the scam being reported previously to the BBB.

Kirsten Dickson, HR for Aldevron LLC, from Davenport, Iowa. Using email and Microsoft Team to communicate, had Evelyn Herrero-Rodriguez, from Toa Baja, PR 00950-1156 issued a check of $9864.00 to purchase computer equipment and mini office. Insist using mobile banking to deposit the check, and money order. The check was deposited by a bank teller at the local bank branch, because do not believe in mobile banking and the funds was not available, within 24 hrs. it was under investigation, and returned due to bad check. It did not sound right from the beginning, because all communications were done by typing on Microsoft Team, no video, no talking, was not able to see or hear. Not your conventional communication interviewing. This was a red flag in my friends' book and mine. She ensures me that it was normal, and it has been tested. Since the fund was returned, the scammer (Kirsten Dickson and her/his team was not able to get the money). I ended all communication and shut down Microsoft Team. Lesson learned. Almost a victim.

It was a job listing that I wanted to apply for a work from home job. When we got to the contract/ agreement there were errors on the contract verses what we chatted back and forth about on Teams Meetings. The chat went on for 2 days and then the contract was sent.

It did not list the correct wage for the training period, so it was revised and resent to me. Then I noticed with that one the position I applied for was not correct, so it was revised once again. when the 3rd revision was sent, I became more uneasy with the process and contacted the ScamPulse.com to inquire. As we spoke more and more red flags became apparent so I did not sign any agreement with this company.

Thank you, BBB, for saving me from a scam.

I received an email from Nicole Cook offering an interview via Zoom. I had previously received similar emails & texts messages with this format (they contact me directly, I had not submitted an application to their company), and they wanted me to purchase the equipment with funds that they would send to my account. Because of the previous experiences, I did not respond to the email. A few hors later I received a text from Sarah George offering the say interview process. Again I did not respond. I feel it is important to pass this information on because in this instance as well as the prior experiences they all said they obtained my information from my profile on CareerBuilder.

As it appears all offers that have been presented to me in this manner were on CareerBuilder I am deleting my account & profile with CareerBuilder.

I then Called the company and they informed me that there was no one working for that Company named Harris Key.

I was contacted via Text and email that they had come across my resume and felt I was a good fit for open position. The email included a link to the Proger website. When I replied that the job they sent me was way below where I am in my career, they replied with a list of other open positions they had which were higher up and higher paid and asked me to download the Signal App, which is when I did a web search. It appears they try to target people looking for a job and then get them to the point of sending in their ID and social by moving things along quickly.
