I am looking for a job and applying online.

On Jan 8, 2024, I received a message on whatapp from a person names Abigail (+1 470 429 9193)

Abigal told ;

(Hello, I am Abigail, a recruiter from Career1 Employment Recruitment Agency. I got your number from the employment site. We have flexible remote roles that might interest you…. And the job from the Canada.) Please look at the attachment file.

On Jan 12, 2024, I received a message on whatsapp from a person called Aaliyah her number (+1 917 443 9376). From Global-bestchoice.com company. She said she is living in Toronto. And she would train me to be data developers to make optimizations for the hotels system online. The first step will learn how to do the optimization for the data online by clicking chick-in for the hotels to develop the optimization appearance for the hotel online through searching.

She trained me online to understand the processes for the first two days and paying me us$100 that deposited online for the global-bestchoice.com company to be able to start buy the chick-in for the hotels. The salary will be us$900 per week and %0.005 commission from every success click. I started on Monday 15, 2024, every day there are three tasks with 40 chick-in for every task to buy and back the money with the commission %0.005 from the price of the chick-in. If we start we could not stop and withdraw the amount. There is no any risk through trading and buying chick-in. The only risk when buying a little high chick-in that will appeared negative amount. If I started with $300 trading, the expected negative amount between $65 to $150 which I can afford it.

On Friday 19 , 2024 , I’ve started with the amount of us$350 that what I got from all days with the training amount and I deposited ca$110 to increase the commission amount. When I was in the last task, the company deposited $75 as a gift for the anniversary and during the task the company deposited $900. Which that make very high to me to buy the chick-in with my limited budget. The amount will become around $1400 and that caused very high negative amount.

The first negative amount happened at the step 14 and I had to deposit to the company to be able to continue the task. I got all my money to deposit us$547.4 and transferred it to this site. And suddenly at the step 39 another negative amount appeared with negative, and I took a loan from the bank credit line to be able to finish the task, and I’ll return back all the money after finishing the task.

But the system of the company deposited the last amount without confirm I paid and bought the chick-in and make the step 39 is pending as I did not deposit any thing to release the money to be able to do the last step. The system is not active and not confirm the process as I did nothing and jump to the last step with another third high negative amount -us$1547.54

This problem is a technical problem and should be fixed by the company but they do not care and refused to offer any solution. And according to the rules of the site any technical problem is there responsibility but the company does not care and refused the confirm I did and paid for the step 39 . The company should confirm this step to release the money with the commission to be able to do the last step . But the company left the step 39 is pending and that means I did not pay any thing and the system frozen the amount as not paid. Moreover the system add negative third amount which impossible to me to pay that.

They refused to solve this problem which is their responsible. I suggested many solutions to them but they don’t care and frozen my money that I got on Friday around us$3250.64

They refused to fix the system to release my money and refused to confirm the step 39 that I paid and showed is pending and the money is frozen by the site because the step 39 is not confirmed by the system. They refused to deposit the negative amount and they can withdraw it after finishing from the last step.

They only replied from their side to pay the negative amount which is very high to me and that amount is the responsible of the company because of their system and because the deposited the salary through I was doing the task which make the commission is a little high and at the same time the negative amount is very high to me.

Th Global-bestchoice.com company hired me as a trainer, but it seems it is a fraud and scam company. I worked with them for 5 days and they froze all the money that I got through doing the trade for the company and optimization data for the hotels. Their system is failed to confirm the process that I did and frozen my money. They requested to deposit more money to their site to allow me to withdraw my money. They scam and steal from me us$3250.54 and requested from me to deposit for their system us$1547.64 to release the amount.

As a graphic design major searching for opportunities I often have been the victim of these job offer scams at my most vulnerable times. They find you on job sites like indeed or if you have a public website/ portfolio and lure you in with an almost too good to be true starting salary. The chat or text interview was a dead giveaway. This person posed as Amanda Collazo who’s information is easily accessible online, the company does exist but they are way too advanced to be nearly offering a position to someone based off a glance at a site without any references or direct communication. They asked for me to interview via Skype text and sent a link , once I realized I was about to fall into another scam I stopped responding knowing that even links can be used to hack information. They also have a very scripted response to anything you ask. People go through enough already, just hoping this can help someone else .

I received a text about a job offer. The interview was through Microsoft Team via text. I was hired when the interview was concluded. Then received an email employment offer letter and direct deposit form. I was asked to fill the forms out and scan them to email them back. So being skeptical I contacted the company. I was informed they do not contact applicants through text messages and do not conduct interviews on Microsoft team.

It’s a scam.

person contacted me on text msg as I'm looking for work and offers me a job with this company as a remote position with amazing pay. They even sent me to look at their web site. I started questing this when they stated they would pay for all the electronic equipment needed but they will send me a cheek to use to pay for it. I asked why they don't just pay for it and send equipment to me, they stated it was to check and see how I would handle company's funds in my care. Is this for real?

There was a post for a work from home job. I was instructed to download the Signal app to do an interview. I answered a few basic interview questions. When I went to to fb to read the message from the person who posted the job- the profile was deleted. I immediately deleted the Signal app.

Paul Francis contacted me via text Message about a position that I applied for on Indeed. I dont know how he got that information as I only apply to specific jobs and requested my resume not go to all employers but i'm being flooded with jobs from everywhere. He claimed the position I had applied had been filled but offered another available position. He asked me to follow a link to complete information for a background check. I thought it was legitimate- I sent him my name address and phone before I realized this may be a scam when I tried to reach out to the number he messaged me on and a recording stated the phone voicemail had not been set up. I texted him and asked him to call me to validate this is a real job and company. He called me this morning I have not heard back from him this evening. I dont know what he is going to try to do with my info but its a shame people can just take advantage of you like this and something needs to be done about fraud on a larger scale other than file a warning to others on the Better Business Bureau site. I will call and text him again to let him know that I have filed this report with the ScamPulse.com in hope that he will not try to use my info.

I was contacted via text and asked to do an interview on Teams. I "passed" the interview and was offered a job. They wanted me to buy software and hardware and I said that is the company's responsibility. The scammer agreed to send a check via email. The check was from San Agustin Realty Inc which was not the employer advertised. I printed the check as evidence and did not deposit it. I did not reply to the email nor respond to the last request for whether I accepted the "offer" on Teams. I exited the Teams application and deleted the email after saving a copy for evidence.

*Tourbase* aims to help tour operators maximize their marketing budgets and achieve their business goals in a positive and sustainable way. The main objective is to make their tour packages a popular choice and to gain more attention from consumers. My part was simply to assist the travel industry in leaving positive reviews for their packages. I had to complete 37 reviews a day in order to get commissions. I’ve put thousands into this to get commissions and I keep getting assigned “premium tours” with a higher commission rate but need a bigger investment first. I transfer money from my Bank account debit to the app Newton then it gets transferred into Crypto currency on their end then changed into USD coin. This whole thing may be completely legit but it’s hard to know for sure. If this isn’t a scam - it’s great for those who have access to $10,000 at any certain time but it’s not for those who don’t. If it is a scam then I’d really like to know how to get my money back…

First i applied through"Indeed Jobs" and this number contact it me the next day ?+44 7823 369267? said her name was elena. after that she said an agent would help me get started and her # was ?+44 7565 244204?. after she guide me, the job was to review 38/38 items and rate it 5 stars. she told me that i had to deposit money through Ethereum through an app called "Metamask" in order to finish the order and i can withdraw my commission. So i did. First day, i withdraw $140 to my bank. I thought great. it works. second day, im $3,920 in debt and negative from trying to finish the orders to get my commission. they claimed "YOU CAN ONLY WITHDRAW YOUR FUNDS ONCE YOU COMPLETE 38 ORDERS". the price of the last order skyrocket to $14,000. they told me I needed to deposit $9,000 in order to close it. so i got stuck at order #37. The tactics they used was "You can make over $1,000 a week guarantee of commission" and offer commission as payment. all part of a great scam that i felt for. They also have multiple people and faces they use to scam others. Such as **** ********, a news reporter.

in conclusion, i have proof, screenshots, conversations, and addresses to back up this experience. Thanks and hope i get help ASAP

I was contacted about a realtor assistant position at townscape. All the paperwork looked legit and the i took the position. She began to change my position over and over again. My training sesson was 14 business days and she made me work for 17 business days. During this time, Lisa Sallow, tried to get me to make multiple external account transfers. These were meant for me to help her launder money. After my 17 days were over, i asked to be paid the $2000 for training and Lisa Sallow never answered me again. All of the messaging was over whatsapp and the signs were there, but didnt trust my gut. I called her number muliple times after she stopped responding and the number wasnt connected anymore. We had muliple phone calls on that number so I know it did work. Watch out for Townscape reality and especially watch out for LISA SALLOW.
