Seen a job posting for a work from home job on Facebook, I commented on the post and soon got a DM in messenger that told me to download the signal private messenger app. I being cautious did my research and looked up the number +18106662306 and name “Brandi Coates” and found a similar experience on this website (bbb.org). Figured sharing my experience would gain this problem some attention.

Josh Arango <[email protected]> reached out to me by email for a WFH position pay rate 24.50 an hr and I'm currently looking for employment. The email contend the following:

Used the same text verbatim as previously reported scam but with a different company name.

- Naples, FL, USA

I man named Kevin phone number from UK (44) 7492249851 reached me through WhatsApp saying he got my name from indeed and offer me a job in a Company named XB-Software.cc. The job consists in making tasks. At the beginning it seems very legitimate. So you take 3 sets of 40 tasks and you keep getting commission from it plus they offer me a salary of $800.00 after completing 5 days of tasks. So I started doing it . They only used cripto money. When you get negative you need to settle to get your money back . I did settle couple times but then when I finally got may $800.00 I couldn’t withdraw all the money I had first to complete the task that is when it was to late I already had given them $4.500.00 . Now they are asking me to settle a $ 6,518.78 to withdraw my $4.500.00. I hope you guys catch this people .

I was gvn a probationary period as an inventory processor. Packages were sent to my address and i did a instructed. I was promised $3300 plus $100 gas reimbursement, plus equipment reimbursement up to $100. Once 30 day probationary period was up, i was congratulated and informed check was mailed. I never received the check. I emailed payroll and HR but never received a reply. Website "contact-crm" was down. After waiting a couple of days and trying the website again, it doesn't exist.

- Oklahoma City, OK, USA

All you need to do is pay $101 to get started. You get commissions and then they have this 2-3 random combinations in a set of optimization tasks. Tell them you don't have money and reply is always: "Hello, please don't worry that all your funds are in your personal platform account. Just complete 40/40 to withdraw all funds." This worked for about 3 days.

Go to complain and they keep saying: " We cannot handle it for you if the task is not complete. During the optimization process, data will generate fees, and the task cannot be canceled or skipped. Once the system task is completed, the system will return the funds and income, and then you can withdraw the funds and income from the account. Please follow the process to process your order." Three times I've been told this and will not give money back. They just want more money..

Text me for an interview. I interviewed over the phone the next day i got an offer letter and background check letter the next day i got an email asking for dirext deposit info

- Shepherd, TX, USA

The person said they were Juliana with Kelly Services USA and they were going to give me a remote online job making $6,200 a month to sit online and do click completions at my own pace I could make up to $6,200 so I called hotel tonight and talk to a customer service representative in their main office and they said that they only do business through Airbnb that it was obviously a scam that's what I figured so I just wanted to report it because I looked on your website first I couldn't find anything on this particular one they asked me to log into WhatsApp I also have the phone number for that and a PDF of the conversation downloaded from WhatsApp

- Canadensis, PA, USA

Offered a remote Shipment analyst position (i never applied for such a thing anywhere) for a shipping company.. sounded like a scam so i checked here and saw the same phone number i got.. never really let the conversation go anywhere before i hung up but wanted to warn others just in case

- Grass Valley, CA, USA

I received a text from a random number (initial text below). When I asked for thier email address, they replied "No", and I cut off communications.

Initial text message:

How are you doing?

I'm Katherine from FlexJobs Recruitment

We are looking for part-time/full-time employees and freelancers in the United States

Approximately 60-90 minutes of work per day

Can I give you a brief introduction?

- Fort Lauderdale, FL, USA

Hello, i am writing you to report a fraudulent website, Neareco.com. I was contacted through a "soliciter" on WhatsApp about this way you can make money, by just "clicking" They convinced me to put $200 into their system. i finished the 40 "clicks" and they payed me $320... it seems like a great way to make money doing nothing.. right?

I just need to transfer USDC from Crypto.com to their HASH, and they fund my account (with my money)

I continued this process about 5 times, each time the dollar amount i would invest, would get higher.

You will hit a "combination" that will pay you 5% commission, instead of .05%. they are combined with 2-3 jobs.

Once i put $580 in, hoping i could get out of this, making alot of money. I hit a combo... i had to put in $2,300....

I hit another combo.. $7,500..

im praying i can finished the 40 jobs... be done... and close out. im at 39/40 right now. and i hit ANOTHER COMBO... and they want $15,000.00... I am chatting with bots through an app that is registered out of The Netherlands. they have phone numbers, but they are all VOIP numbers. (like google voice)

i got shafted. i tried to negotiate with them. they will not remove the combination.

They want to drain my checking account. they want $980, to turn into me paying $25,000+ There is no way to ensure i will get paid out. it is simply a money laundering scheme.

I have contacted BSO, but they are slow to communicate. I want this to be communicated to homeowners around the country, because an unknown person like me may fall into this poison of "hoping you can just pay, to get out"

i want my $10,000+ back, so i can move on and live my life.

Maybe if you advertise this, it will make BSO, or the FBI become aware of this, so we can prosecute.

I am on Indeed looking for a job and I applied for a remote proofreading position. I received an email saying I was chosen for an interview and when I participated in it, it was done via chat on Microsoft Teams. I was also sent an offer letter via email, but no one ever spoke to me in person. I believe they were trying to get me to purchase expensive computers, printers, etc to work from home, and then they would "reimburse me."

- Lawrence, KS, USA

Havent exactly hit the scam like part yet this all just seemed a little too good to be true and then i found this describing the same exact thing.
