Type of a scam: Employment

I was offered a job as a Personal Assistant for Capital Invest Company ([email protected]) on or about December 15, 2023 under the condition of a non-paid month-long internship, then paid employment following that. The gentleman who hired me, CHARLES MORAN ([email protected]), contacted me through email. The internship supervisor, JONATHAN SIMON (JS) ([email protected]), communicated via WebEx. Their website was subpar, as I did research them with suspicion, but I was so desperate for employment, I pushed forward. During the training, JS had me enter various account numbers to establish an account with Wise Bank, which after several failed attempts disabled my access. When I asked should I choose the dispute option, JS said no. I thought this was odd, as was the various account and routing numbers, but again, broke and desperate. So for the next two months, JS would instead have me do remedial spreadsheets, organizing thousands of names from collected resumes from people worldwide. This was very strange, but I did as instructed. When the first month ended, I was due for pay, but was told that because I "hadn’t completed training," I was ineligible until that happened. I should’ve quit then, but desperate, I refuted, stating the lack of training completion was the fault of Wise Bank rejecting their own information. Alternatively, I was asked to establish a LibertyX account, and instructed to use $500 to $1,000 of my own money to invest for training (yes, he actually said this). I told JS I did not have that kind of money, informing him of my frustration as they hadn’t even paid me. They then resolved to send a direct deposit, but at the appointed timeframe of delivery, no funds came. They said their system was down, and after failed attempts to resend it, they would send me a check. … I should’ve quit by now but I was desperate, so I waited and waited… no check ever came. Delay after delay, they would always push the business day timeframe. I lashed out at them about my financial situation, and JS once again stated his "finance department" attempted to send a direct deposit, which never posted/arrived to my bank account. At the tail end of employment, JS instructed me to create a CareerBuilder account, I suppose to use me as an agent to seek their new victims. We went through the steps, and using c/o account information, along with his email and my name, the account was suspended, likely due to the system sensing suspicious activity. At this point, I was beyond livid. I demanded a Zelle payment. JS took my email linked to it. He told me the "finance department" would reopen on Tuesday, February 20, 2024, following the holiday (President's Day 2024); however, JS did not answer WebEx at all all throughout the morning. I sent him and Charles an email, stating my dismay, and demanding my owed payment. There was no response from either gentleman. To note, there were a couple of mornings JS mistakenly sent messages in what I perceived as Russian text, but he may have deleted those instances, as I do not recall finding them when I re-scrolled through the messages. Further, JS did have his infamous "finance department," with whom I could never have a one-on-one phone call, provide account numbers to attach my account, as an external account to resolve the payment issue; but, as expected, they all failed. While I am not sure what exactly the scheme these gentlemen are running, I suspect, they gauge one’s potential worth by prompting employees to use their own funds for training etc. In my case, I complained incessantly about my pressing expenses and overdrafts, so they likely were less invested in me towards the tail end of their string-along. Please catch these crooks, and keep them from hurting other people. I wasted three long unpaid months with these people. Please do something to stop them. Thank you.

I got a random text from 7867303221 number that claimed it was FlexJobs and the name of the person was Hannah Polston and they were offering terms a description of job opportunity to make easy money as long as I had a computer etc. As I expressed interest they invite you to have an interview on WhatsApp and then they will pay you $30 to $80 just for doing the interview. They verify your number for WhatsApp. I then told them I will do the interview but asked if I could have a conversation with her first directly on the phone. This request went on and on and on and she kept wanting me to go on WhatsApp and not speak directly, even though she claims she was in the USA. She eventually said she cannot talk, because she is working, so there was never a conversation directly. Then she kept asking if the number she was texting will work for WhatsApp as that was the constant redirect she kept doing. I stopped playing eventually and let it go because it was a scam promising me money when I am sure in the end they were going to ask me for some information where they could take money instead.

Type of a scam: Employment

This company is exploiting individuals seeking employment opportunities. They advertised a job opening in Florida on Indeed, to which I applied. However, I soon realized something was amiss. Despite the advertised positions and sales figures, there were inconsistencies throughout the hiring process. During phone interviews with Raymond Rosario, purportedly the owner, and Rogelio Silva, the president, alarm bells rang when they discussed inflated numbers and provided a job offer with incorrect details.

On the supposed start date, I met Raymond Rosario in person. To my surprise, he appeared disheveled and the office resembled a makeshift gaming setup adorned with stuffed dolls and manga magazines. Within half an hour, he revealed that his bank accounts were frozen and requested that I open a new account to facilitate payments. This raised serious suspicions, confirming my belief that this was a scam.

During our visit to the bank, his behavior only heightened my concerns. He lacked a vehicle and attempted to present outdated bank screenshots rather than authentic statements. Sensing the deception, I left him at the bank and sought employment elsewhere, hoping to prevent others from falling victim to this fraudulent enterprise.

Employment Scam from "Hannah Polston"

Scammer's phone: ‭+1 (971) 445-1772‬
Country: United States
Victim Location: NY, 10121 USA
Type of a scam: Employment

I received a text from a recruiter named "Hannah Polston" at 9:58 AM EST on 2/21/2024 reaching out about part and full time job offers through FlexJobs. Of course, as I am job hunting, I was interested and asked for more information—specific about full time work. My first red flag was she immediately gave me information about part time work amounting to about 5-7 hours a week with a monthly gain of about $15,200 at base. (If my math is correct, that's about $542/hour, which is an obscene rate considering Glass Door says "App Store Optimization" makes a max average of $87,000/year in NYC.)

I replied telling her I don't have any experience doing ASO optimization, and my experience and talents lie elsewhere (as stated in my resume, which I assumed she had and made mention of that). My second red flag was her reply: it was poor English stating that I have "a lot of skill to can do it." I do not have the skill to do ASO optimization. I've never done it.

When I asked her for her LinkedIn profile, she dodged the question. When I continued to ask for her credentials, she linked the Flex Jobs website and continued to dodge the question. I ended the conversation here, making sure I knew she was a scammer.

Be careful out there, friends. Don't get fooled by these fake employment scammers! Most recruiters won't reach out via text. Most will reach out via email or LinkedIn (LinkedIn primarily in my experience), and even then I find the applications I put into jobs myself (through recruitment sites or directly into companies) tend to get more attention than I get from cold-calling recruiters. Don't be afraid to ask for verification that the person is who they say they are, and don't be afraid to call up the company asking if that person is employed there. (And Google is your friend. If you're here on this site, you know that!)

Good luck on your hunt!

Joann Price contacted me in regards to a application I supposedly filled out on indeed. I looked at indeed but the company name didn't match what I truly applied too. I was then proceeded to download signal messenger where I would go through an interview process (answering questions.) I applied I believe on the 19th of February, was contacted the 20th for the interview. I got the final notice that I was accepted today on the 21st. This was for a 100% fully remote position, 30/h plus benefits. They would also send me money for equipment that was needed, which I also found to be weird. When I contacted the "manager" who did the interview, I asked to have a zoom meeting, no answer then she left group chat. I also tried contacting Joann, number doesn't go through. I finally called the actual place and confirmed with the lady that they don't have that position available and that it is a scam

This company is a pyramid scheme designed to defraud you. It goes by many names but two include Anchor International and Radiance Marketing. The company Radiance had to change names because of many post online like reddit providing evidence to the scam. The two companys have the exact same address. Many of the higher up employees have both companys listed on their Linkedin. The website was completely generated by AI. They create job postings online using websites like Indeed to attract potential victims. This company is a scam to gather your information. Their are also reports onlins stating that some people have not been paid or have had money taken out their checks.
