I was offered a job, and i signed a W4, provided a drivers license, and a passport. I took the check that they provided to my bank and had my bank look into the matter. The person in question was trying to get me to use my own funds to purchase equipment and which i did decline and did not proceed to give any of my bank information. I was not comfortable with doing so.

An online job for customer service receptionist / data entry was advertised for 25/hr. They conducted an interview and said i scored 95% with the answers i provided. They told me i needed to buy an apple card for 500$, said that it was needed for the time clock to be able to clock in and out. I was at first told everything i would need would be provided to me or paid for solely by the company, they promised to pay off a debt too. I was told that the company policies restrict them from using cash app or current for direct deposit so i had to create a bank account online. They took my personal information after telling me that i was hired, asked for my ID, and said that if soon be recieving a code, which came from a login.gov and the one time code said not to share with anyone, amd thats where i became skeptical but i gave them the code anyways, thinking i was just over thinking it. Well after all was said and done they were acting defensive after i called them out on the ridiculous request for a 500$ apple card. Ill include some pictures of the conversation.

was offered a job through Ttec, at which time they did a full interview through a website they had me download through telegram messenger. when I told them I would not send money they became irate and threatening. They had me send my photo ID and email, address, phone number and fax #. They now have where I live and my other information. They need to be stopped. They are advertising work from home job listings.

They offered me a remote position as a Sr. Project Manager, with excellent pay, but I needed to do a certification in order to enter the process. Once I finished the certification, he hosted me and when I tried to call him, the number had changed.

They used my resume from the NEXXT job site to try to lure me in. They did the interview on signal.org. They emailed a check using the company Sharp Image Energy, Inc. I called this west Texas company personally and spoke to their accounts payable department. They confirmed my suspicions and I texted back the scammers letting them know I filed a complaint with you and the FBI. I forwarded all correspondence to the company whose name they used and had printing on the check, to which they replied “ Thanks for wasting my time “. Please note: Sharp Image Energy has nothing to do with this. They are the other intended victims. If you have any questions or need any further information please contact me at 321-505-1950 or [email protected]. Thank you.

I was contacted by Caroline Sivad to download the Telegram app. I thought this was odd, but interview processes change every day, so I tried it. I was exhausted from no sleep and before I realized it, they had access to all of my accounts. They deposited $4000 and wanted me to buy Apple Cards and Maylene Santos, "hiring manager" kept saying "this is not a scam" so I knew something was up. When I went to access my bank account, my account had been suspended and I no longer had access. They changed the password to my Facebook account and luckily, I was able to fix that. DO NOT TRUST THESE PEOPLE.

The company newgamingsolutions had contacted me by text message about a month ago and said they like my resume on indeed and had a position open and to email a lady named Betty Evans if I was interested. I emailed the Betty Evans and she emailed me back telling me about the job and the pay, I told her I was interested so then I received a phone call the next day from a foreign lady telling me I would be starting the following Monday and my manager would be Betty Evans, I then received an email from Betty Evans again asking me for name, email, phone number, address and then to take a picture of me holding my driver's license, she then sent me the contract to be printed out so I could read it and sign it after which I had to take a picture of it showing I signed it then I received another email once I showed I signed the contract and Betty Evans told me we would be communicating through Skype every day, so the following Monday I added her to Skype and that's how we stayed in contact, she would send me tasks I had to do everyday basically doing internet research for the company on companies to invest in and about cryptocurrency and blockchain stuff, then one task she wanted me to provide a different bank account because the one I provided wouldn't work for the task I needed to do, she wanted to put money in my bank account for me to withdraw and me pay their investor I quickly said no that if the account I gave didn't work then I wouldn't be doing it, Betty Evans then said it wasn't a required task so I then asked when I would be getting my paycheck as it states in the contract I'd be paid monthly, she tells me I'd be paid December 28th 2022 and I didn't receive it, I message her asking when I should expect my paycheck and thats when I started being ignored, I have emailed her, called and messaged several times and haven't received any response

Used the name Martijn Vermeeren. Reference themself as the hiring manager. Had me to complete hiring forms with my ss number and the hiring packet. Sent me a check in the mail for 4k to buy equipment. Was very skeptical about the check so I contact the bank and was informed it was fake. Realize I had been scammed but kind of already felt uncertain throughout the process. Never deposited the check because the amount was a red flag. I did my research prior because the company they’re using is a legit company but the scammers are not apart of the company. They’re using it to lie and scam innocent people.

I was looking for a new job. This person, Rodney Munson, emailed me about being his personal assistant. Sending money to the American Cancer Society and a local orphanage. He sent me a check and said to deposit in my bank account. I would have to wait until it cleared, usually 48 hours. Once it cleared, I was to use my debit card and go to nearest UPS or Fedex office and purchase 4 money orders in the amount of $1050 each. Not to sign them just send them out. I was not given an address of where to send them. That was questionable...then when I did get an address, it turned out to be a personal address of someone else....scam exposed

I was contacted by someone named Annie Bauer at 917-508-5278 about a remote job. I was told the main company was in Switzerland and they had their first company in New York and was opening a branch in Chicago near the O'hare airport. I completed 5 weeks of training and received weekly study matierials and took weekly tests for the company. I was supposed to get $2400 for the training after I completed the final test. My supervisor's name was Nicholas Westerman [email protected]. After I completed the final, I never heard from anyone in the company again. I reached out to Nicholas and Annie Bauer [email protected]. I reported them to the department of labor and was told that the company did not exist.

I was approached by gifts craft for a work from home employment via email. They said they got my information from my indeed resume. They offered salary of $45000/ year plus $20 for every package sent. They said they paid monthly and there was a 30 probationary period. I started receiving packages about a week after they “hired” me and instructions were to get a new shipping label when I received the package and send it UPS/USPS depending on the label. When my probation period ended I received an email stating I sent an empty package…and they take fraud seriously and I could be terminated without any compensation…the items I was sending weren’t cheap…I sent out multiple I phones…..a drone…$700 worth of bracelets and so on….I feel terrible after doing research but I hope my experience will help get these guys shut down or caught….

I applied for a position with this company on indeed.com. Upon receiving more information, I noticed many grammatical errors in the job description (this usually indicates fraud). I replied by stating the errors made me skeptical, and was no longer interested. The "owner" of this company then proceeds to find my personal page on Instagram AND Facebook and messages me, defending the poor grammar. This seemed very sketchy and completely unprofessional, making me believe it was a scam instead of a real opportunity.

I found a job on Indeed identified as "Customer Representative" for Amirah Real Estate. The "recruiter" then reached out to me and asked me to set up a personal bank account with Bank of America and a business account with PNC Bank. Once they requested I begin the process to open an LLC, I researched more about the company and found it to be a scam. I am now attempting to close the two accounts and dissolve my LLC.
