I applied for an 'Event Manager' position (07/24/2023) at 'Primetime Business Consultants' in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I applied on Indeed.

I have been doing my due diligence while researching prospective employers & this company has several red flags:

The company's website is vague.

No contact info other than an email address.

No employee directory or acknowledgement of the CEO.

Several stock photos.

The photos they do have of the CEO seem to be of personal events & not company related. I'm not sure how many if any of those people in the pictures are employees or partners.

I received texts from a supposed secretary named '********* but I think it's the CEO posing as their own secretary.

During the introductory meeting, two days ago (07/26/2023). The CEO contacted me on a Zoom that supposedly belongs to a Zoe Zoys. & the initial profile picture while waiting was a stock photo of a blond woman in a suggestive pose in an upscale office.

The CEO did not give me & another girl he was interviewing his name. She was a young **************** *****.

He told us that Primetime Business Consultants singlehandedly organized & hosted all of the Juneteenth Events in the state of Oklahoma. Which I knew was a lie.

He became upset when I started asking him why the website was vague & asked why he had no online presence. He ended the Zoom call & said if he was interested in either of us as candidates, he would contact us that evening from a '572' area code number. He did not contact me.

I spent yesterday emailing Juneteenth organizers & have not heard back from them yet. I asked if they knew Primetime Business Consultants.

I also contacted Primetime Business Consultants supposed business & charity partners. One of them, SmartPower, replied & said they do not know them & will be reporting them. I called ****** ************* & the woman on the phone said as far as she knows - they aren't partnered with them either & for me to email their organization for a more formal response.

The office manager for Central Oklahoma ScamPulse.com called me yesterday (07/27/2023). She said Primetime Business Consultants was registered December of 2022. The website went live January 2023. She said Primetime Business Consultants is supposedly housed at the Oklahoma Fair Housing Council. She cross referenced what all resides in the Oklahoma Fair Housing Council & Primetime Business Consultants isn't one of them. She believes Primetime Business Consultants is attempting to clone a business by using a similar yet not exact name. There is a businesses with a similar name in Miami, Florida (Primetime Business Network). & one in Tampa, Florida (Primetime Business Solutions). Oklahoma Primetime Business Consultants supposedly went on a business trip to Miami, Florida, the photo is on their website. The ScamPulse.com is now investigating Primetime Business Consultants.

I also contacted Attorney General Drummond's office. They are investigating, but told me to contact the FTC & FBI.

This is Primetime Business Consultants web address:

https://www.primetimebusinessconsultants.com/blank-3

These are the numbers ********* from Primetime Business Consultants has contacted me from:

405-648-0570 & 405-261-9574

A person by the name of Sophie Finley claiming to work for a company called Atom Transportation reached out to me via email regarding a project manager opportunity. They asked for personal information including phone number, email, and address which I provided. They said that a month of training would be required prior to job offer being made but that they would reimburse me for training time. I reviewed contract which seemed legit so I signed (see attached). Training packets have been sent via PDFs every day for the last week. However, when I reached out to training contact sending me the PDFs, David Cotton, I was unable to get ahold of him. I emailed him back asking for a time to discuss company and position, and he said he would answer all questions via email. I reviewed business website (atomtransportation.com) and googled locations their company website lists as offices. There is no reference to this business at any of those locations.

Blaj Virtual Solutions - A SCAM

Position positing reads: Remote Customer Service Representative - PT $14-23/hr - However, if you choose work, you are required to pay weekly: agency = $50 & platform fees = $19 Plus $30 for a background check fee. It is bait & switch and false advertising.

Others looking...NEEDING work may not be as aware & fall for this.

I was approached about a job for this company as a Customer Relations Manager for "the states". I did weeks of training and took quizzes at the end of each training module. I was told I was doing excellent and that at the end of training I would receive $2,500. When I completed everything and emailed the contact (Michael Thompson) he ghosted me and I never heard from him again. I left messages and tried to email but the emails came back. At one point they asked me for money to handle somethings involved in the job. I told them that I was not going to use my own bank account for their transactions. There was a lot of time invested on my part in the training and very frustrating for this to happen as everything looked in line and professional.

I was contacted by these emails: [email protected] and [email protected]. About a "packaging inspector" position a week ago. When I showed interest they called me to conduct a phone interview and were willing to hire me immediately. They sent a contract for me to fill out by this email: [email protected] and while reading it, I knew that it was illegitimate. They claimed to be stationed out of 523 N Kiwanis Ave #311, Sioux Falls, SD and that they were expanding. Every time I called I was helped by the same woman with an Indian accent that wanted me to send her my information as fast as possible.

The website is, allegedly, a job hunting site. I am looking for a position in IT, information technology / computer tech - but you knew that part. I uploaded my resume which has some of my personal information on it. Not my social security number or anything but address, phone, email, employment history, etc. They have taken that information and sent me emails that, for this morning's example, have the subject header as "$90,000/year IT - apply ASAP 7/24/23" - and that is the kind of thing I'm looking for. The positions listed? Cashier at Walmart, JCPenny, TJ Maxx, and a variety of other jobs that 1) aren't going to pay even close to $90,000 a year, and 2) aren't the IT jobs I set up to get. Let's add a little potential drunkenness to this. Yesterday's list of "IT" jobs was: Delivery Driver, Parking Attendant, Registered Nurse, Cashier, Masseuse, and OB/GYN. I think they're going for anything BUT what I'm looking for. It bothers me that they're taking my information, probably enough to do harm with, and not providing anything in return but spam. I can see this "company" doing considerable damage to many people who are already down on their luck. If you can do something about this, I'd appreciate it.

Thank you for your time.

I think I have also been targeted by this scam, I received a text message offering the interview via telegram. Went through the process and was “hired”. I have been waiting for a response for two days and though that was odd so I googled the original number I was texted by and found this and others. Thankfully I have not given them my information yet. Terrible to be scamming people who are looking for work

I received a text message on JULY 18th from ****** ***** with EMD Group regarding a remote job opportunity. He said my interview was with ****** *****, hiring manager, on Microsoft Teams that day. It was all conversational, with no video and no phone interview. I received a job offer through teams on JULY 18th, but I offer a letter I requested PLUS A W-4 FORM. He then mailed me a check for $4,977 for me to order my work equipment. He said that I am to order my equipment from one of their vendors and that training commences upon receipt of the equipment. The check came via UPS. He asked me to deposit it with my bank app. I told him no WELLS FARGOS BANKS DON'T BELONG IN OKLAHOMA HE SAID to USE THE BANK APP TO DO MOBILE DEPOSITED. I DID AND He wanted a copy of the deposit TO CONFIRMED IF DID AND THE ******* ***** PAPER SAID SAID I HAVE TO send a SCREENSHOT OF ALL payments and I was to email it to **************************. AFTER FEW MINS. $400 ALREADY DEPOSITED IN MY ACCOUNT, JAYDEN WANT ME TO ZELLE TO ****************** (******** ***) JAYDEN MAKE ME TOOK A SCREENSHOT AGAIN AND MAKE ME WAIT 15-20MIN. THEN HE LET ME KNOW HE RECEIVED IT. Now he plans to see me on July 20th to finish ordering the software because all money hasn't been deposited.

I have been suspect something wrong with them cause there's no way someone will handle you a $4,399 like this for nothing that is why I have been doing research on their names then I found the BBB.org website talking about one of them.
