I think the person is fishing. I applied for a job through indeed.com. I never applied for a job at: "Unipart Group". The person was able to get my phone number from Indeed. They may have signed up as an Employer and then carefully curated a list of potential victims via the victims resumes and preferences. When asked how my phone number was acquired, the person did say they got it from indeed.com and that I did not directly apply to them. During what they called a "Job Interview" it seemed as though they were using some sort of AI enhanced language model to generate what they believe is professional etiquettes. They said they were going to ask me some questions and then strangely generated a job resume from the person I was supposedly speaking to. To make things cleared, I was suppose to be speaking to someone called, "Mr.s Charlotte Armstrong of Unipart Group" on the Microsoft teams app. This, ARmstrong, asked me for a resume but then generated her own resume as if she was trying to get hired by me. This is most likely a sign of someone who doesn't speak English well and is attempting to leverage something like CHATGPT.

This is the real text message below to my phone:

I have broke correspondence with this entity, as nothing about this process feels professional and many people have reported a scam like this already. Albeit, too late, the scammer has my real name, phone number and Email. My name and Email is my own fault. But I am stead fast in believing they signed up on Indeed as an employer in order to access victims.

Kristina sent me a message on WhatsApp about a part time online job for Farfetch. She trained me on how it’s done. After investing in the business she is refusing to release my money to me. I reached out to Farfetch New York and they said they don’t recognize that job.

This is the second email I am getting from this company. I sent it in for a back round check as an independent contractor in the summer but realized too late it was a scam.

I have been job hunting for a few weeks and have lost track of who I’ve even applied for. But when I got a job from Eden Presley for a remote job that would be a 25 hour work week for $59/hr, I was really excited! The pay seemed maybe a bit too high and I didn’t remember applying to them. But I figured I’d give it a shot! I did an online interview through Wire (I still have the chat saved if needed), then got a phone call telling me I was accepted for the job! But things still didn’t feel right; I also have anxiety and I wanted to make sure this whole thing was really happening. But after checking everything, I found this complaint with the exact same phone number and the exact same steps I took for this job offer. I haven’t replied to anything else and have filled out any more forms.

I was contacted by email and applied to a Supply Chain Specialist job with Grand Finance Professional Holding. The attached job description provides a vague idea as to what the position is for. I was asked to rate my credit debt ratio, provide contact information, my availability and if I had a driver's license. I have attached the email for further review.

I have had the same experience as the OP. I just recieved my email stating I got the position, so luckily I didn't spend any money, but this process was suspicious, so I did some research before going further. Thankfully, I did.

rcvd text in response to my resume on career builder. offered my choice of 6 positions remote, training pay foor 1 week then 30,00 per hour for data entry. sent me to use signal and went through a very thorough interview with 16 essay type questions in addition to normal interview questions. first claimed they would pay through direct deposit. then when I questioned how I should know if they were legit he told me to look up the website and told me they pay through credit cards. no checks. The first guy using company name Croma said the same thing but I never heard from him after I questioned him. I was supposed to be on signal at 8:00 am and I didn't go there. This guy wants the same thing and says we will do w-4 and paperwork. That means my ssn. I asked why a company in Austraia wants to hire somebody in tn. He said he lives and works in Houston. TX. This guy says he is Carlos Cerezo and the first guy was Rudy Mason. It all sounds wishy washy to me. Companies are real companies but it doesn't add up

I went on the website to look for jobs at Housesitter.com several people reached out to me both offering me work when they saw my profile as new without contacting them, and ads that I emailed. When I attempted to respond to their providing me a phone number in an email to call, either the number didnt go through and or the party texted me to ask where I was. I gave them my number and asked them to call me please in response to the job, that I couldnt use the number. No one returned my call. All that happened was when I tried to email them back in their response of a phone number not working a box popped up telling me to pay. I then saw one person that I tried to contact here in Ft Lauderdale posted the same ad in several states with the same ad. My ad also said they needed snow removal, Im in Florida it doesnt snow here. Clearly the ad was copied and pasted in all the other states where it does snow.

A man named Robert Cooper approached me via email, with a job offer for Pro-Tech Solutions. He set up a "phone interview" with an "HR worker." The following day he emailed me saying I was approved for the job. He then sent me an email with the log in link and information for a work panel. Everything seemed so legit. On the work panel I was prompted to upload a signed job offer letter, I-9, and a scanned copy of my I.d. He set up 4 days of training, each day doing different task. The first day was research on 10 competor tech company's, the 2nd day was an email response to a specific client with the log in information for a "company email", 3rd was a phone call to a specific client, 4th was a customer service response, and the 5th day he emailed me with a different job offer as management. That when I stated digging, I found a reddit story with the exact details and his same name so I ask him about it and I've not heard any word from him since and that was 3 weeks ago.

I do things like this to point out scammers, so it was for the experience. They told me their name was Elizabeth meador olean as well. Got past the interview, asking irrelevant questions of course. Asked me for my address and phone number email etc. then wanted me to send them pictures of my id and myself etc. I definitely stopped at the name, address, and what not. Asked if there was a website and they said yes. I did successfully complete the interview and that was that. They had me download the Microsoft teams app to conduct the irrelevant interview.

I accepted a job offer from Rozesti with a start date of 9/16/2023 and a pay date was 10/16/2023. Unfortunately, I am facing serious complications regarding my salary payment. Despite fulfilling all responsibilities and expectations, my salary, which was supposed to be mailed to me on the agreed-upon date, has not been received. After two weeks of waiting and extensive communication with the HR department, it has come to my attention that the salary was never sent.

The lack of transparency and communication from the HR department has been deeply concerning. Initially, I was in regular communication with them to resolve the issue, but my emails are no longer being received, leaving me in a state of uncertainty and financial distress.

I want to bring this matter to your attention in the hope that the Better Business Bureau can intervene and assist in facilitating a resolution. The lack of payment and communication from Rozesti is not only causing me significant personal hardship but is also a breach of the employment agreement.

I am now out a month payment of 3700 plus 150 in travel expenses which was the contract that I signed with them. I have that contract if needed

I was already feeling scammed by online "SEO (search engine optimization) " online work company where I had to complete the tasks by at times pay for the Merge data in order to get a higher commission. As I am not able to make further payments for the work platform at "seoworksapp.top," where the cryptocurrency apps has been restricted after sending money to the work account. I was directed by mentor Charlotte Williams (226 786 3042) and (754 223 6907) who is also putting money into my work account as I could not finish my ask due to payment shortage. I have put in about 75,000.00$ Canadian including the losses of fees charged multiple times during cryptocurrency trading. I went ahead with it as I am new to the role, I have been told that there is someone training me in this role. I was not able to fill the task as I do not have anymore money and this happened in less than a month time frame.

I felt the challenge and googled if there is anyone who can help to get the cryptocurrency that is lost back. I contacted" payback construction LTD,Copyright ©2001, PAYBACK CONSTRUCTION LTD BN - 876744913, Registry ID: 101024451", their website is: one.advance-refund.info, also its registered in business burro. I was informed that all the initial deposits could be taken back except commission. I was happy with getting some of that money back in addition to providing 10% of the money deposited back to my account to [email protected]. Brooke stated had insisted that they have been doing this since 2001, provided all the information that they are working with the government etc. Furthermore, in order to bind my new cryptocurrency account with Metamask (supposedly the account where all the recovered cryptocurrency is supposed to be deposited in where I have 140,000$ Canadian worth) along with the 3000$ Canadian, in order to prepare the paper works to have the money deposited from "anti-money laundering protocol". They also used "anydesk" software to access my computer as I had challenges setting up the app they had requested. Post $3000.00 Canadian payment made they said "Complement will call or CRA will call". I was told this process is to be completed in the same day, then they disappeared and I was not able to call them back and she was not responding to the email. They also wanted the direct deposit information of my bank where where all the deposits has been gone through, ensuring that they are checking to see were all the deposits made from the account. The scarier part is they set up the fake Metamask account which has the fake cryptocurrency, this can't be converted. I am not sure what other personal information was compromised at this time. All I know that we feel that we got scammed on top the of the initial scam and feel helpless. I hope no one else falls into a trap like I have. Please be alert if anyone is calling you to give you a job and do a full research about the company and discuss it with someone who you can trust prior to starting a new job specially if its online and if its commission based.
