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?

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 was texted that my resume was selected for an interview. I was referred to zoom to speak with Polina Vinikhina hiring manager. They sent me offer letter, code of conduct, w-4, I -9. I filled out info and submitted to polina through email. They overnighted me via UPS cashier checks totaling $10,007.00 for equipment and when I took to bank they told me checks were a scam.

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.

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 on WhatsApp with a job offer online. I asked how they found me, they said Us.gov jobs, which I had applied for, as I was looking for a job online. They then directed me to an instructor also on WhatsApp who said he would direct me on what to do and told me his name was Harvey. I have screenshots, and they are still actively recruiting people online. The guy training me said he was training a lot of people as he was slow to answer instructions on how to get the job done and get paid. The job that they say is not what it is, they don't say much, but they lead you to the next part and are persuasive for you to do this, then you will be done, they give you a bonus when you start, as they explain you need some real money to post the online products, then you get a package" which they say is rare, but they tell you later they don't know. So my account got negative, and they said now you need to add more money to continue, just do this and that, and send me a screenshot. Now my account is negative and they gave me 40 packages" While I was almost done with the second set of 40 products per day, only 5 Left before I could get all the money I put in when was negative to continue the job, then plus the bonus of the sale of the products and account balance once I get it done and put more money in. They were nice, and polite, and seemed like a normal job online, they said after I completed this 1 week of training they would explain to me about taxes, and I asked, how do I pay taxes on my income? and also some other questions, so they kept telling me they would explain it all once the week was completed, and how to do it, and not to worry about it. I have all the information and screenshots. I had to contact my bank to cancel everything to see if I could get my money back somehow.

The scammer emailed me using my new boss' name as the subject, and then asked me to confirm my phone number. I gave the scammer my number and then they asked me to purchase 3 $200 ebay gift cards for a surprise employee gift.

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.
