Scammer claimed to be Hannah Polston, a recruiter from Flexjobs, trying to get me to do an interview on Whatsapp. Claimed I could get paid $30 -$50 just for the interview. Very evasive/vague about what the job actually was and would not tell me the name of the employer.

I was contacted, through CareerBuilder, of a job opportunity of a remote Data Analyst for the company Black and Decker. I was guided to downloading Microsoft Teams where I had to message an Adam Kotsier with verification code BND-160B. After doing an online interview on Teams only using text, He stated that the company will send me money to order the items needed for the job. After this I became very skeptical, the items he was listing were 2024 released items and very expensive. I did further research on this and realized that it was indeed a scam.

I applied on LinkedIn to a company called Sensus Healthcare for their Data Entry position. I was then contacted by Michael Keane, the email he used was "[email protected]". I was told exactly this in the beginning after being told I have been shortlisted to the next stage of an online interview "Alright, welcome to this online interview before we proceed. I would like to explain the meaning of an online interview. An online interview is an online research method in which participants are asked a series of questions, given the description of the company and the job position aided by the use of computer-mediated communication tools such as instant messaging, email, or video chat technology, but what we are doing now is the instant messaging method. The name of the company is “Sensus Healthcare.”. Just follow the briefing and you can ask questions when I am through...Let me know when you have finished reading and understanding every line. You will be allowed to ask questions later. With each line, respond with a "Done Reading" and YES/NO when necessary. I hope this is very well understood." I proceeded through the questions, many of them were common personality, and what your work ethic type is. They also asked me did I file for 2022 - 2023 in one of the questions which didn't set off alarms at first due to the excitement at possibly finding employment after being laid off for so long in my case. I was also told that they would create a company email for me on ID.me which would then be changed to my personal email at a later date and that it was to only verify my identity, and so I took the photos requested of ID.me. After I went through the whole interview I was told I received and needed to sign and offer letter and W4 which was only emailed to Michael Keane ("[email protected]"). I was then told that I would be emailed a check of $4,250 that I had to use mobile deposit on to be able to order my equipment from a supposed vendor they have. The check did not go through, so I went ahead and asked my bank what happened. They told me it bounced because that bank did not approve it. At which point they want me to send them $300 to speed up onboarding so that I have the software to work. I lie about my current finances and refuse to buy anything because I've never experienced a job needing something like this. I was also asked to open a Chase account to utilize their mobile deposit. At that point I told them to rescind the offer letter and that I decline it. I have since contacted ID.me to let them know that log in is fraud and am filing a complaint here. They didn't get any Immediate finances from me but they do have access to that ID.me, a W4 with my information and my drivers license on ID.me. The scammer was also contacting me through this phone number +1(334)497-5130

I was originally contacted by Boyd consultants, to reach out to Addison Martin about a data entry position, which ended up being a personal assistant position. They mailed me a check for $2500 and demanded I deposit it immediately into my bank account. I never Filled out any employment paperwork or received an offer letter. The emails were very strange. They asked me to look up flights for them and told me I needed to pay for their flights since I had received a check from them.

I was sent a text message stating “Hello. Good afternoon. This is Victoria Elson, Hiring Manager for Arcadia Care. You applied for the position of an Administrative Assistant via Zip Recruiter. kindly affirm if you are still interested in this Job position” I checked my email and did not have an receipt of applying for this position (but I did apply to the Company for a different position, so I think the application is connected to the scam)

She sent a email of the job description

I then Did a phone interview and received acceptance 2 days later. I was already suspicious of the offer because the “recruiter” corresponded 1. Thru text message & 2. Extremely later after business hours (but I assumed maybe they were on UK time).

After receiving the offer letter I was just uncomfortable sending my social and pics of Identification via email, it just didn’t seem secure. I googled the recruiter and the name did connect to a linked in page for the hiring manager at the company but I still felt uneasy because 1 I didn’t apply for the position & 2 the process was too easy and fast. I finally thought to google the phone number and thank god I did!! Definitely a close call, the scammers are getting smarter. I now have to tell my husband it was a scam. The offer letter also said they would pay for all equipment necessary for the position after the paid training but I didn’t get that far in the process because I googled the number and found all this information

I was approached saying i can make money out started with $50.00 and you send it to the platform via crypto currency. This was suppose to be a job in which you earn commission on rating music within the platform and at first it started with small commission and then the commission was larger in hopes that you can complete 3 sets of rating. Yet it continue to increase. I was informed that once i pay the what's owed then they would release my funds. However, then they told me after that the website was going through a clean up and i was contacted by the individual that i had to finish my sets to be able to withdraw my funds. When i came up with the funds, then they inform me that i have to pay 50% of 18000 in order to withdraw my funds. Why would someone your working for ask for additional money in order for me to get paid. They also have a finance department this is the walket they use.

I received a text with information about a possible job. It asked if I wanted more information. I replied yes. Another text came with more job description and earnings information, and it asked me for my WhatsApp phone number. I didn’t respond and I started searching for a possible scam.

I was told that I would earn commission by completing tasks and that I needed to complete 38 tests and then I would be able to withdraw my commission which came to $93.11 yesterday and when I went to withdraw that they told me that I needed to have $100 in order to withdraw it afterwards and then today I would be able to do another 38 tasks and earn today's commission but in order to do that I had a task that made my balance a negative and that I needed to deposit $70 temporarily to an address using bitcoins and that after I had completed that they would return my deposit and I would receive $17.90 commission on that one task I told them I did not have $70 to make a deposit with and that if they had give me my commission from the day before then I would and they gave me a run around telling me that I still needed to make a deposit in order to get my money back so my total commission was $104.11 now and they are refusing to give me anything because I will not make a $70 deposit with no guarantee that I will get that back
