The scammer only obtained my full name and address from me (which is already on my resume, so it seemed odd they would ask for this) and sent me the following email:

I was contacted about the Remote Podcast Editor by a Mary Kate Chester on 2/28. I was told to set up/login to microsoft teams to contact the interviewing manager Frances Krulac ([email protected]) I contacted her and it was hard to get timely responses to requests to set up an interview. My suspicions about this being a scam were raised. A few days later, I finally did a text-based interview with Frances Krulac via Microsoft teams. The questions were inline with podcast editing work.

I progressed to the next interview which was supposed be a phone call with Brandon Walker on 3/7 between 1-3pm to further discuss the position. He never called. However, I did receive another message that day from Frances welcoming me to the RVO Health family and instructing me to connect with Thomas Miller, a team leader, via Microsoft teams. As soon as I requested a zoom interview, everyone went dark. All of these individuals have profiles on LinkedIn that list RVO Health as their employer.

According to the job description, I'm to receive a lot of expensive equipment ($15K) if hired. I believe they were going to send me a cashier's check to purchase this equipment from their "authorized" vendor. The check would have bounced and I would have been on the hook to the bank.

I reached out to RVO Health via email to confirm that they were hiring for this position and they never got back to me. Their website is also unsecured which seems odd for such a supposedly big company. RVO Health has no contact phone number, and I honestly don't think this company is even real. I also called their parent company Red Venture to verify and they did not return my call.

I lost no money and gave them no personal information other than my email, which they probably got from my job searching efforts.

Live:.cid.d13ba3b6269b9d7f that is the Skype id they used. The name was Robert Williams. They contacted me via text then interviewed me and said I got the job. Then they began asking for me to pay 200 for the time tracker machine. Wanted me to send it to [email protected] (chime vendor info) then they wanted me to send my I'd and SSN and my IRS pin # etc. I got suspicious and stopped from there. Also wanted me to send my info to [email protected]. just doesn't seem right.

The scammer contacted me through a text message and suggested that we use Microsoft Teams to communicate. The scammer did a fake interview through Microsoft teams and gave me a fake job offer. I accepted the offer thinking it was legit Ament . The scammer sent me a 4200 dollar check through email and gave me instructions on how to cash the check through mobile deposit and distribute the check through cash app to buy computer equipment for the task.

Emailed about a job I did not apply for. Impersonating a legitimate Mosbrook Design employee. Conducted a text interview through Secure Wire. Offered a job the next day with requests for banking information. When I asked to speak to someone, a woman called pretending to be the Mosbrook employee. She became irritated when I questioned the validity.

I have been applying for a lot of Data Entry Clerk recently. I received a text message from Tara Silvermann inviting me to interview on an app called Signal. I was told to contact Melissa Coleman to conduct the interview through the app. We went through 3 sets of standard interview questions. I was told that I will be paid to set up my own mini office at home. I am set for a scheduled appointment tomorrow through the app as well. I will see how that goes but I am quite skeptical.

I received an email stating it was from Tyler Thompson Ventures which I applied to the open position on Indeed.com. The email proceeded to say that a certified cashier check would be sent to my address and I could deposit it. Then I was instruction to go to a my banking institution. As far as a check is concerned it is somewhere in Post Office facility. I am to nervous to accept the offer of employment. I check the address on the offer letter and it is a run down auto body shop. I am out No Money. But aware of scammers.

I got an invitation to interview via text a few days ago, I’ve had 2 interviews so far, although I’ve looked back through all my LinkedIn applications and my email and text messages and I can’t find any record of applying to this company. One of the interviews was conducted by a 20-year-old at the City College of New York which was a bit odd, and when I looked at the company's address it is just listed on their website as "Midtown Manhattan." They've reached out for a 3rd interview although I now believe it is a scam and that they will eventually ask for some sort of personal information.

This company want you to deposit a fake check into your account. The amount is around $1350.00. Once you have deposited the check into your account, go get 2 American Express gift cards. Scratch off the number in the back of the gift and email them the card information, This action will put your account in the negative of $1350 and any additional fees that will come.

This job contacted me offering me an at home job, with a proposition that honestly sounded too good to be true. After receiving questionable items from this company, I then began further investigations myself finding out they may actually be using stolen credit cards to purchase and resell illegal items. I’ve read claims saying this company will harass workers, and they’ve even taken money out of the accounts of a few as well. Telling us we have to wait a 30 day probation period before receiving any kind of payment, some workers reached their 30 days and received no pay, and were blocked from the dashboard displaying their payment amount.

I had an interview scheduled for 1:30. I checked in at 1:25. About 1:32 the person appears on my zoom meeting app and then clicks off. I was waiting on the phone for 15 minutes before he dismissed me from the meeting. I thought maybe he had a important call or something but he never introduced himself or acknowledged me in any way. I was left feeling like maybe once he saw me I was age discriminated.

I applied for a job and customer service on indeed. I got the job and they sent me a check for supplies and my first check. I deposited it and it was sent back. I lost $2,900 because it was fake and my account didn't have it to cover it so when they sent the check back I had to pay for my account

I was contacted by someone that identified as Kathleen Watson from Eolas Therapeutics. She first reached out by text and then by email. She told me that she had a position for a data entry clerk. She told me to send my resume to her email, which I did. She then told me that I needed to complete a small assessment to see if I would be a good fit for the company. I completed the assessment and then was sent an email stating that I was being offered the job. The email stated that they would be sending me a check for the purchase of office equipment. At this point, I had not spoken to anyone in person and was feeling like it was a scam. I searched the ScamPulse.com website and found someone else's story that was almost identical to what I have experienced so far.

- Inman, SC, USA

Used the Seasoned App which came up through Google search for jobs. I applied through app for several jobs including Buffalo Wild Wings. Received message in app and through email confirming an interview date and time. Even received an email from "a hiring manager (Tee)" confirming interview and letting me know they were looking forward to meeting me. I proceeded to go to my interview at correct place and time. The manager informed me that it was basically a third party scam and was not affiliated with them nor did they have any of my info/application. They also informed me that this was not the first time this had happened. During application process I entered some of my personal info such as birthdate, address, phone number, email, etc.

- Columbia, SC, USA

I applied for a job for Uinvestible, I found the job on LinkedIn. The position was a Collections job. The company supposedly offered real estate and investment services. I was supposed to work remotely, from my home in SC. They conducted a phone interview and then called back with one additional question. They told me that I would hear back within 24 hrs. They emailed an offer letter and I-9 form the next business day. I sent the information back and once I “cleared HR” I received a list of “past due” customers to reach out to, with no formal training or script to go by and no company email or phone number to use. They stopped all communications once I posted on LinkedIn about it being a possible scam and the website is now suspended.
