- Westlake, LA, USA • May 15, 2025

I was contacted via email [email protected] about an interview with MRC Global for a Remote Data Entry Position. The email asked I join teams and message "hiring manager" Allison Yost. It also included an interview code. I did exactly that. Went through the interview process and was offered the job. I was sent this message "You will need Accounting software programs and a Time Tracker to begin your training and orientation and most importantly, you need the software to get started with work as soon as possible.

NOTE: The work of the time tracker is to evaluate your working hours from the company's server for payment purposes as this will be an online/remote position.

Here are the names of the software programs you will need to start work with:

A brand new laptop, Sage 50 Cloud Accounting Software, CYMA IV Accounting Software, MYOB Business Essentials Accounting Software, QuickBooks Pro Accounting Software, Desktop publishing software, Employee scheduling software, LibreOffice Productivity Suite (Customized), and a Time Tracker. The funds needed for the programs and equipment to set up your home office will be provided for you by the company via check. The check will be issued by one of the company's affiliates in the US to ensure swift delivery. The check will cover the cost of a laptop, printer, scanner, and time tracker with a high-speed internet connection you need to start work with.

Ensure to utilize the funds as instructed for the software programs/working equipment and I will refer you to one of the company's certified vendors you are to purchase them from at a discount rate due to the company's long-lasting relationship and bilateral agreement with them. The vendor will be responsible for completing the installation of the software programs with the required updates and patches before shipping them to you. The accountant would like to verify if you are able to handle Mobile banking, specifically mobile check deposits. This is because most of our employees these days use mobile check deposits to receive their startup check. If you are unfamiliar with mobile check deposit, it involves receiving a check PDF copy via email, printing it out, signing and endorsing the back, and taking pictures of the check to process the deposit with your mobile bank app.

The funds will be available for use within 24 hours or more so you can start purchasing your work materials. If you are able to handle mobile banking and mobile check deposits, please let us know so that we can proceed further steps.

I've worked in banking for 15 years, so I knew this was extremely fishy! I was informed that I should check my email for my employment offer letter. The person insisted several times that I sign it and return. I asked, "why is the email sent from a gmail account and not an account set up through MRC Global?". The response I received was "That’s my secretary email for hiring and the rest onboarding papers will be issued to you directly by your training surpervisor at the completion of your training….is this clear?".

After reading another review AND calling MRC Global, this is in fact a scam. MRC Global does not offer remote positions.

This scammer company represented themself under a legitmate comany called ADJUST. The URL they gave: adjust-work.it.com is not owned or operated by Adjust, the real mobile analytics company (which is at adjust.com).They claimed it is a digital marketing company focused on data creation. Mentors will provide quick training to get
you know the work and help maximize your earnings.
Below is step by step tutorial of how the Scam works:
Our role as a Data Architects, we support application developers on Adjust's platform by generating data that enhances app rankings, visibility, and overall data flow. We track key metrics such as app downloads, reviews, in-app purchases, and user engagement.
You’ll complete daily brand rating projects, each with 38 tasks. You can do 2–3 sets per day (up to 114 brands), and each set takes about 10–15 minutes.
Our salary structure:
Your base salary is based on consecutive working days recorded through 2 sets of rating tasks per day. You will earn $750 for 5 days, $1,550 for 15 days, and $3,000 for 30 days. Salaries will be automatically processed and
paid out the following day.
Daily Commission: You will receive an immediate commission ranging from $70 to $150, which is withdrawable right after task completion.
The company operates from 9 AM to 10 PM Eastern Time, and I hope all this explanation is clear. We have 2 types of task which are normal and combined task. When a work account has a negative balance, we need to deposit funds to clear it before the combined When a work account has a negative balance, we need to deposit funds to clear It before the combined task can be submitted. Once the combined task is completed, all deposited funds will be refunded to our account, along with a commission that's 10 to 30 times higher.
There are three phases: the training phase, the reset phase, and the withdrawal phase. After finishing your initial task, you'll need to reset your account before moving on to the withdrawal process.
Each user must complete 2 sets of 38 tasks daily to count as a working day, maximum is 3 task per day.
Remember, work days are crucial for salary progression: on the 6th day, you will receive $750; on the 14th day, $1550; and on the 30th day, $3000 and also the commission ranging to $150 upon 3 task submission.

This job is a 1099 and the commission profit and base salary we receive is an after-tax salary and is not taxable. If and when your income is up to $100k, the company will send you an itemized list which will contain a record of your income and profits, and you can take this list and pay taxes according to your local government.
Join my member group. I spend most of my time helping other member. When I'm not available, you can ask other experienced members and admins in the group.
You might be wondering why we need to deposit funds into our work account as part of our job. Let me explain. The nature of our work involves leveraging our traffic and real data to generate exposure for merchants' brandings, ultimately boosting their sales and increasing store profits.
This is why an initial deposit is required to create authentic transaction data for the orders assigned to us by the system. Once we complete an order, the merchant immediately reimburses the amount we paid for the purchase, along with the commissions we've earned. We are assisting luxury merchants in enhancing their branding visibility and generating real reviews data, and since brandings yield high profits, our returns will exceed our initial funds.
Yes. I was thinking it works this way. Thanks for confirming. I understand it sometimes takes money to make money. I think it would be more efficient to keep a healthy total balance in my platform rather than have to worry about loading money into it.
After depositing the required funds into the work platform to cover the negative balance and submitting the Combined Tasks, all the funds will be returned to the work account, and you will receive 10 to 20 times the commission profit.
The rewards for completing combined tasks are 10 to 20 times higher than normal tasks.
The commission rate is 0.5%
for normal tasks and 5% to 30% for combined tasks.
For example, if you complete 1 combined task, it is equivalent to completing 10 to 20 normal rating tasks in one submission.
Our main income come from combined order, there will be a maximum of 3 combined tasks a day, and it is highly normal for 1 or 2 combined tasks to appear. The probability of having 3 combined tasks at the same time is almost zero.
Loading money is just a temporary advance funds, After completing the tasks then you can make withdrawal immediately
To address the negative balance, you will need to deposit a temporary advance to cover the combined order. This deposit is a one-time action, and once the order is processed, you will not need to worry about it further. After completing all of your tasks, you can submit a withdrawal request, and your full payment, including any funds advanced to cover the combined order, will be sent to you immediately. Rest assured, this process is seamless, and the advance deposit is temporary, as it will be refunded with your payout once your tasks are completed.

There are two types of tasks on the workbench: 1. Normal orders 2. Combined orders.
We usually do normal rating orders. Combined orders are orders that cannot be processed in a timely manner due to the accumulation of orders from branded merchants
Therefore, the platform needs to process these orders as quickly as possible, and the system randomly assigns them to users on the workbench to complete them.
Combined orders are randomly assigned by the system as you rate your tasks. These orders cannot be predicted, as they will appear while you are working through your normal tasks. These orders are typically larger in value and can exceed your current account balance by 1 to 3 times. The assignment of these orders is completely random, and it depends on the system's allocation, so there is no way to foresee when they will occur.
Once a combined order is assigned to you, and if your account balance is insufficient to cover it, your account will temporarily enter a negative balance. This means you will not be able to submit the task until your balance is replenished. The negative balance results from the high value of the combined order, which often requires more
funds than your current account balance can support. During this time, you cannot submit your normal tasks until the balance issue is resolved.
Combined orders are randomly matched based on 1-3 times the amount of your working account, and there is no way to predict when it will show up.
Keeping a high total balance in adjust depends on you, It will help you encounter high combined order to help you gain more profits. It is good to withdraw everyday and load everyday.
Adjust total balance must always contain minimum $100.
Do you remember the two types of tasks on the platform that I told you about during your training?
1.Normal orders
2. Combined orders?
Combined order is one of the most important parts of our job. Some people like it, some people don't, so I need to
explain the combined order clearly to you.
Understand combined orders pull more balance so that’s why I am in hopes of maintaing above $160 in my account
at all times.
Yes, Most of the members very excited to encounter it when they are doing their new daily tasks,
Every members must at least complete 2 set of tasks counted as 1 workday, maximum 3 set of tasks per day, If you do
more set of tasks then you can earn more profits on the same day.

This job connects three parties: app developers, digital marketing platforms, and us, the users.
Developers list their apps on the platform, and we create app purchase data to help boost visibility and marketing performance.
App developers work with digital marketing companies to offer a third-party platform that recruits users like us to complete online tasks. Our main role is to help generate app purchase data for promotional purposes
Mentors earn a 20% referral bonus through the platform’s reward system. Like you, I work as a Data Architect and also guide new partners I invite.
Each user must complete 2 sets of 38 tasks daily to count as a working day, maximum is 3 task per day. Remember, work days are crucial for salary progression: on the 6th day, you will receive $750; on the 14th day, $1550; and on the 30th day, $3000 and also the commission ranging to $150 upon 3 task submission
