They sent a text message and emails asking for my resume.

“Hello! My name is Elizabeth from DueNorth Oncology, Inc.(www.duenorthoncology.com). I'm reaching out to you in regards to your job application for the position of a remote data entry clerk. We are pleased to invite you to interview for this position. The rate of pay for this role will be $27 per hour. If you are interested in this position, please send your resume to my email address [email protected].

When they asked me to make telegram it was obvious that it’s a scam. But I’m really confused because when I checked the names of CEO and employers on LinkedIn they had +500 connections and looked so legit. They also had the website connected to their LinkedIn.

Person reached out explaining that they may have an executive level job for me. When his partner emailed me, my replies bounced back w demon error. Then I found research on this fake org.

- Plano, TX, USA

They posted a job ad on LinkedIn for a Personal Assistant. Within 24hours they emailed a job offer, and requested a good phone number. Already seemed suspect, as the pay rate was almost $30 an hour, and the role was remote with a part time schedule if one chooses. I responded with a couple times I would be available, and they called outside those perametors. No voicemail was left, but they called multiple times. Address also seems fake, and there's no information on their website to prove they are an actual business.

I received an email from a woman named Kathy Vingino from a company named Nu World Graphics LLC. She said she the following in her email: "There is a current job opening in one of our affiliated firms, RAINDROP, as a Content Editor and they are making an urgent hire for the position. Your resume was gotten via candidate search on Indeed, LinkedIn and Ziprecruiter. If interested contact the Hiring Manager Scott Musser via email [email protected] for more information on the position and the company. " I reached out to Scott and his email response was the following: "I’d be happy to set up an online screening interview introduced by Better Business Bureau via Microsoft Teams on your Phone or Computer. Are you available to schedule your interview process on Wednesday 11:15am ET? If yes, kindly download Microsoft Teams on your phone or computer from your App Store or Google Store, then set up an account with your email to schedule your interview process. Notify me when you are done setting up your account."

After I did research, it turns out this Scott person doesn't exist. He isn't listed on the companies website and isn't on Linkedin. The Kathy woman is no where to be found on an socials or websites either. My gut is telling me this is a scam.

Elizabeth Ammann sent me a text message stating she saw my application and requested I send my resume in; which I did. She sent me an email with more details about the position offered and stated if I was interested in the position, to complete the assessment and employee form; which I did.

I received an email from the company with a job offer and Elizabeth sent me a text message to follow up to make sure I received the email. I was only aware of the potential scam after looking up the company further for any reviews of any past or current employees and I came across this.

- Citrus Heights, CA, USA

Received a text message for a job offer. The company's name is DueNorth Oncology. They asked that I send them a copy of my resume, in which I did. They replied by email with the job description. I felt weird about it because employers don't normally text applicants about job openings. I researched the company on Google and there is no record that the company exists. The addresses listed were a home for sale and an empty lot in Canada. I "applied" on Friday and heard back on Tuesday. All of the names on the website are not real persons on LinkedIn. There was no phone call/interview, I answered some questions and filled out a form. They told me they wouldn't be able to coordinate shipping my equipment and so they would send a cheque which I would use to order from a company-approved vendor.

The main contact was Elizabeth Ammann.

I received and text stating that my resume was reviewed on Indeed and have been selected for an interview for a remote data entry position. reply back if interested. I replied yes and then received another text asking if I had Skype installed on PC or mobile phone and I said no but I could download on my PC. Once I did an interview was set up for the next day at 10am. I did an interview though messages on Skype with ******* ****** After the interview she text again and said they were going to email a offer letter and asked for my email. I received the offer letter and signed and sent back through email. The Job was supposed to start on June 23, 2023 with a pay of $30.75 per hour. Shortly later I received another email asking me to be back on Skype tomorrow Monday June 19, 2023. I got subspinous and starting searching online to see if it was legit. The only info they got from me was my address and email. They asked how I wanted to be paid via direct deposit or check and I put check because I didn't know for sure if this could be a scam and now after seeing that it is a scam I'm glad I decided to do more research. Because from just looking up the Company online it looks real. There is a address on the offer letter o* * **** **** ***** **** ******* ********** ********* ** ***** * **** ****** *** ***** ******

They approached me with a remote job offer and directs you to speak with the hiring manager via Telegram. Once I finished my interview they said that I was accepted and briefed me through the hiring procedure. They explain the company, links you to their website, their employee work etiquette, and talked about my salary. They gave me a company's code of conduct, job letter offer, W-4 form and a I-9 form to fill out and sign which are to be sent back to them, electronically via email.

They explained to me about my job responsibilities and that I were to undergo job training and that it was paid. They listed the needed equipment and programs I needed to start my training and asked for my address to send a company's check that will cover the cost of the equipment. Once the check was received and deposited, ready for use they gave me a set of instructions. They explained that the vendor in charge of the equipment installation only receives payment through Bitcoin and that I should use a nearby Bitcoin ATM to transfer the money that I was told to withdraw in cash from my bank. When I voiced my doubts about the Bitcoin payment, they changed to an alternative payment method to Zelle or Cash App.

I used Zelle to send the first transaction payment, however, Zelle contained a rate limit. So the next day, I was ready to use Zelle again to process another payment but the hiring manager tells me that I need to use the Bitcoin ATM. Because I already did the first transaction and that they shown me they "valued" my feelings of discomfort earlier about Zelle and proposing an alternative payment method, I accepted to use the Bitcoin ATM and believed it would be faster and safe as they proclaimed. They walked me through the steps of using the ATM and it felt extremely sketchy as they given me the next directives only when I completed a certain step. After finishing sending the full amount of payment did I think it was over but it wasn't

They told me to wait the next day for updates on my equipment and so I did. The next day, they informed me that I needed an additional $2000 fee that I needed to pay via Bitcoin again and that they will send me the $2000 reimbursement check the following week. At this point, I felt incredibly bothered and lied to them that I did not have enough in the bank to do so. I didn't know what to think. They asked if I could at least send $1000 so they could start processing my equipment installation immediately. I told them again that I could not until I received the check. They kept pushing and asked if I could send $200. I was at a total loss and asked myself if I was getting scammed. I then ask them if this was the last and very final payment I needed to make involving Bitcoin and they said Yes, and reassured me. So I reluctantly sent them the $200. Now I am waiting for that "reimbursement" check and I don't think I will even touch or open the package.

They lure you with an enticing job ad and make you feel like they want you for your skills and talent. They even dangle a paid job training and sign-on bonus on top of the company's check for the equipment. There were red flags everywhere but I, who was desperate on finding a job, thought that this company knows what they're doing and that they're legit. I asked numerous times if everything was safe, I even voiced my discomfort and they shown me they care about what I thought and looked for alternative methods. I come to realize that all of that was just a tactic of getting you to send the money over to Bitcoin. And the check? Possibly a fake check where the bank will issue a return once they detect if it's a fraud check meaning that they will take out the amount of the check out of your own expense. And the money that they tell me to withdraw through cash is most likely unable to get back so now my loss is doubled. That's how I got scammed out of my money and I'm trying to look for ways to get that back and even minimize the damage as much as I can with an addition of worrying that my private information is now exposed to them

Same as the previous person. They get you to buy into this website with USDT and at first when it's small amounts they pay a commission. When I went to a larger amount they kept saying I was running into combo tasks and had to keep upping the USDT to finish the task before I'd get my commission. I lost over $10,000 before I ran out of money and couldn't pay more so I lost everything. Watch out for these people. They originally contacted me on WhatsApp asking if I wanted a part time job to earn extra money. Like the previous complaint you start with a training account and then get your own.

Two of the sub brought to the property are requesting we pay them.
