I received a text, “ Hello ***** *******, I’m Lourdes Cornide from GTC Logistics Inc. Our Hiring Department received your application for the open position of an Administrative Assistant/Customer Service/Data Entry Clerk our company published on CareerBuilder. Your resume was reviewed and you have been shortlisted for an interview with our online recruitment team. Reply back with Yes for more details on the Job Position. Thank you!” from the number +1 (203) 713-3123. I was instructed to download “Signal messaging app” on my phone or computer. (828)307-2290 Jennifer Beasley contacted me through the app and proceeded with a convincing interview through messaging that lasted about 40 minutes. I was encouraged to open and browse the website during the interview. At the end of the “interview” I was asked to provide my full name, current home address, direct cell number, and preferred email address as well as what bank I use and if I had an account with Zelle. It was all very convincing but there were miner inconsistencies that lead me to extensive research. The business name is registered with the DOT but not the BBB. Also, after the interview, the number I had saved in my phone with the name and company… the information disappeared and wasn’t an added contact anymore.

Responded to a LinkedIn job posting, and was made a job offer almost immediately with no interview OR resume WITH a digital contract. I have been working for nearly three weeks in the position of Remote Personal Assistant. I have received no payment, only the promise of payment. The person assigned to train me refuses to talk over the phone and only agrees to talk over WebEx. During training I have be requested multiple times to open personal investment accounts online and transfer money there.

I was offered a job as a data Data Entry Position at Regenity BioSciences Inc. on 4/10/23. I interviewed with Jessica Swanson and she directed me in the process. I was given a check for purchasing equipment for the remote role. I was told to deposit the check and once it cleared I would transfer the money to Jason Eggles for equipment and he would send me the equipment. On 4/19/23 a check was deposited for $4950 because I received a job offer and the check was supposed to be used to purchase equipment that’s what I was told. Once the check cleared and the money was made available I transferred $1000 x 2 ( total of $2000) through Zelle from Citibank for a purchase of equipment on 4/19/23. Then on 4/21/23 we were notified that the check of $4950 was a fraud and we lost $2000. If the check did not clear and the funds were not made available then the transfer would not have happened and I would have known that it’s a fraud. Since the check was a fraud and we already made the transfer of $2000 I lost $2000 of my own money which wouldn’t have happened if the check was not cleared and I was made aware it was fraudulent . I have filed a complaint with Citibank and appealed it. I have provided them with all the information that I have for their investigation and I have called numerous times to find out if they received the information that I have sent over through fax and mail and no one is able to answer if they received the information and yet I have been denied a refund/claim. I’m not sure how they are making a decision if they don’t know they have all the information to do so. I am not able to talk to someone that makes the decision only the representatives and supervisors when I call Citibank they state they can only email or send a message over to the back office where decisions are made regarding frauds and investigations but don’t know about if the paperwork I sent has been received which I was told to send over and have had to pay for. I have asked for all the information that was used to make a decision and I should receive it soon hopefully.

I applied to a job offer on UPWORK.COM which was about content creator for social media, then a woman contacted me and told me that I have to talk to JOSH SHEFFIELD on telegram to know more about the job. The job that he offered me was a data entry job that involves transcribing images to Word documents. He sent me FlexJob pdfs and all the job data, so I accepted. After doing the work they asked me for the payment information and I sent them my Paypal because I am from Latin America, then they told me that I had to pay a fee of $40 to link the accounts and for the money to arrive. They never told me that this was a requirement before so I blocked them and I didn't spend any money. But be careful because I spent 2 days doing the job and I didn't win any money.

Texted me about a job opening that is remote. Had me download the Telegram app for an interview just through texting which I found strange. They asked typically interview questions but also asked about my financial institution so I could receive payment. Seemed suspicious.

Company does NOT pay overtime hours. You will work 8-15 hrs on your feet, no breaks, no lunches, and if you're asked to stay and itll put you in OT, they just won't pay you anything at all on that OT pay. Even if your management team requests you to stay.

Offered a work from home job. Did a text interview through the app Signal. They used the name Jennifer Coleman until the number of 513-549-3801. They offered the job and emailed me a check for $3100 for office supplies. At the time I thought I would be buying them myself. From there they are me to Venmo and Zelle multiples different weird account names. Luckily only the first one worked and that was $500. They tried getting me to wire transfer the money back or put them into gift cards. I didn’t want to do those because I know it’s related to fraud. I contacted my bank and asked them to send back the original check back to whatever bank account it came from. In the process I still lost $500 but I am glad I caught on with out them doing more damage.

I applied to their fake job on LinkedIn and they sent a fake check to me claiming that they were going to pay for a brand new laptop. They were waiting for me to try and cash the check so that they could hack into my bank account and steal my money. Everyday they rushed me to cash the check.

Company posted listing on indeed, company then sent out an email to begin application process. After process was complete, they sent out direct deposit info. After that training began. During training they resch out stating they would need to use my bank account to transfer money to a broker. Honestly, that sounds a lot like being a mule, i proceeded to explain my discomfort, and how illegal that scenario was. No money was transfered luckilly, but not everyone has the knowledge to know better. I have not heard back since.

Germon Investments LLC has a website that appears to be for a software-as-a-service company with years of experience, yet the company is only known to have one manager named Filho Geraldo B Monteiro, and no staff, including Monteiro, can be found on any social media platform. I was contacted by Ganesh Dalvi who provided the following link to a job description which is oddly enough the only publicly available job description for the company: https://germoninvestmentsllc.com/hr/Position_Description.pdf. Note that the URL is generalized to hr/Position_Description even though the position described in the link is for a Jr Service Assistant.

Another indicator at potential fraud is this comment posted by Kaz M. on www.bizapedia.com for Germon Investments LLC:

"Scam. Joining this company they will ask you to receive ACH funds to your account. With those funds, you will buy bitcoin for their customers. Within 30 days your account will be flagged as fraud and closed due to the transactions being used with stolen funds. You will then be responsible for the funds and this company will disappear and not respond to you for help. They are not a legit company. Please do not join."

I received an email about a job offer to work for Atlantis Consulting. Customer Service Officer was the name of the job/position offered. the email had 2 attachments for reading, filling in and returning to the HR department. There was also an online registration they referred to as a Work Panel for a phone interview. I received an email to schedule my phone interview with HR. The phone interview lasted for approximately 30 minutes. A few days later I received a congratulatory email stating that I was chosen to begin training. I was given access to the company website where I uploaded my drivers license, signed an I9 work verification document and signed an work contract. Training consisted of completing web searches and entering the requested info into an adobe acrobat form and uploading to the Atlantis work panel. I was instructed to download the messaging app Signal for fast and easy communication with my manager. I began to question the manager about the validity of the company . After my questions I no longer received correspondence from the manager and could no longer log in to the Atlanis Consulting employee website.
