Someone claimed to be "Jeremy" from "Dick Research", trying to get information from me about a supposed employment opportunity they said I had shown interest in, but I have never heard of them and they call constantly. I don't know the motivation behind it but it needs to stop.

I received an email invitation to a Skype interview 2/24/23, from a gmail address. The interview was 10 to 15 question and answers via text only. The decision to hire me was within 7 to 15 minutes. They messaged me move through Skype saying that I have been accepted for the remote position. When I requesting a video chat, the interviewer made up some excuse about being to busy. However, did continue to email me. They did email a job offer that I was to sign, scan and email back with my signature. I emailed

them that I would respond on Monday. The training would begin 3/3/23.

this bull**** company decided to send me a fake hiring. So I fall through with it and noticed some things were off like why would they offer 3K for me to sit on my butt at home?…. But I went with it like a dumb*** and waited a whole month and would receive packages like a fake Amazon rings , ordering and a shipment of gap baby clothes. I didn’t take it into mine until one day I had to do a pick up at FedEx. The man told me hey ma’am, this looks like a scam, so I immediately asked my boss and she was acting weird like she didn’t know how to answer the question. So around my payday I continue to call her and she gives me no answer, and everyone just goes ghost on me with all of my information…. At this point I’m worried about my banking account but honestly…. “eff” people like this.

I have an employer from OK called Omnicare365 that refuses to pay me the correct amount of hours on my last check. They use a system named genysys that is used to receive calls, you search the Internet about genysys it is a faulty system and it logs agents out constantly. Omnicare365 decided to erase my 80.67 logged hours because their system genysys only had me down for working 17 hours. I have been complaining to my manager about genysys for about a week so he was aware the system was not working and informed me to call tech , which didn’t help. I tried speaking to them about paying me my correct amount of hours but they refuse to pay me correctly. From 2/5-2/18 they erased my 80.67 logged hours and put them to 17 to reflect their faculty system called genysys. The also informed me that hours that are not in genysys will not be paid for , after letting me go. I have no signed paperwork that binds that agreement. I was Infact taking calls but their system does not reflect this being that the system has not been working properly for awhile. The company tried to pay my ISP or my computer for the reason genysys wasn’t working but the computer and ISP were already approved during the orientation process. My computer and WiFi are compatible because I’ve received calls before but the system stopped working suddenly . Although I expressed this , the company refuses to pay me. They also tried to lock me out of my email from receiving proof of my complaints on genysys to the managers , please help me. The company paid me for 17 hours on 2/24 , but still owes me 59 hours .

The employer emailed me multiple times with a job offer and a google doc to sign to accept the job as a PR Manager. He, Jessie Duff, has said multiple times that he would be calling me. I only receive emails in the mornings and in the evenings. I was able to start work as soon as he received the signed document, which I had to sign more than once. I have mentioned my skepticism and despite me asking for clarity, it has been avoided. They say that I will be mailed a check once a month as well as the money that I need to pay to the companies that assist me with creating marketing content.

I received an email inquiring about an interview to review my qualifications for a Project Manager position (heavy machinery and oil equipment transportation) for an international logistics company. They were claiming to be interested in doing business in Illinois to work with such as "Nissan Industrial Equipment, WW Grainger." I'm assuming they found my resume on a job site (Indeed to be specific). First reflag was there was no formal interview, via phone, zoom or in person. Instead, they asked me to fill out a pre-employment agreement and a questionnaire. They stated that there would be a 4 week paid training (min of 2400 & max of 5200 for above average test scores) as a sub-contractor, when hired full time position would pay 96000 the first year including full benefit package. Red flag in that statement was health care claim it would only cover myself and one other person at full cost, for 1 extra person that the benefits covered at 50%. On the 4th week of training, they explain there would be a final test and an offer if they decided to hire you. The 5th week of training would be at the corporate office in New York City with all expenses paid. Another red flag was that they kept asking me to verify my contact information despite the fact they had a form I filled out already with the information. I missed all of their calls because they were not very punctual when it came to setting up phone interviews. The HR manager who claimed to be an Aaron Reynolds repeatedly explaining that they were nothing to serious just to get to know me better. What sold this process as a scam is that the I couldn't find the any google search results to find reviews of the company or even a LinkedIn page, which I found strange that an international logistics solution company wouldn't have search results besides the website. On top of that when searching addresses provided on the site, the business was not registered at any of the locations provided. The cherry. on top was the supposed Zurich Switzerland headquarters rep called at 9:30pm their time, and 2 hours later than the time that was schedule. During the call, the rep of the scam company United Transportation Network Co. LLC, said 'I am calling about (insert random company name here) interview, i'm sorry,' then hung up so fast once she realized she messed up the script. I called back 3 times and each call magically couldn't be completed. Moral of the story, if you can't even company reviews, and the professionalism of the company is lacking in multiple areas question the validity of the company.

Claimed locations based on site are 1) Headquarters' Zurich, Switzerland, 2) Vienna, Austria, 3) Toronto, Canada.

I did not receive any payment after a month of work. Many people are involved in this scam. They use your information to order packages online, so they pose as you! The packages are then sent to your address. Then you upload the information to a dashboard, that they registered for you, of the package. Then they have you send out the package and then that’s how you get paid. Did it for a month and never received pay. Identity compromised!

I’ve attached a screen recording of my text thread with accused scammer. Doug, my boss, just started at my job and 1. I don’t have his cell number yet and 2. I haven’t really gotten a grasp of how he communicates, hence why I thought it could be him but was still apprehensive because the verbiage used is typical for scammers and 3. My boss coincidentally is at a work conference and it was very plausible for him to be in a meeting at that time. I asked my other manager Nathan to send me Doug’s phone number to verify the number and it wasn’t the number the scammer was texting me from. I’ve never had a scammer know where I work, my title, my boss’s name. It’s a tad worrisome. Once he asked for me to buy gift cards I knew for sure it was a scam. But at first I did fall for it. We sent the texts to our IT Manager and they will be looking into it as well.  Thank you.

Scammer contacted me about a job position, and asked for personal information ) phone number, email address) for a fake job posting, never contacted or updated about the job posting after getting information. Contacted back stating job has been filled, then stated recipient doesn't have experience than stated job posting has been put on hold, was not consistent with answers.

I was hired on full-time as a Retail Hub Handler to receive packages, inspect them, record them and upload pics of the package and contents into their CRM and then once I received the Fedex or UPS shipping labels ship the products to the customer. I was hired on a 30-day probationary period that started on 1/2/2023 for $3300 plus $125 for travel expenses. I received an email at the end of my probation period on 2/2/2023 stating the paycheck was mailed that day via USPS and it could take up to 10 days to receive it. I never received the check and no longer received email responses and the 2 phone numbers I had always rang busy when I called them to inquire about the check when it didn't arrive after 10 days. And, now I am facing eviction from my apartment since I haven't been able to pay rent for Feb and March is coming up now. The scammer also offered daily bonuses for processing orders the same day they arrived so I lost that money as well.

Started with text from number with area code in Kansas City. Recruiter with Arca Continental had recruitment agency review resume on Ziprecruiter and that's how she reached out to me with job opportunity. Had job briefing/interview with interview manager over Zoom. Went well and gave some personal information. Advised will receive company check to purchase equipment to work from home. Suppose to check in with him daily on Zoom for updates. When checked in for the second time, was advised to check tracking number for check. I noticed how clear his directions were when it came to the check. Kept thinking about everything and did my research. Concluded that this is a scam and filed complaint and on here also.

Posted a job and had me interview for company. Had me sign documents and then requested I buy checks immediately. They were in appropriate with their messaging style and refused to speak on the phone. They then proceeded to block me on LinkedIn. Please be aware that the “CEO” James H***** is finding people to print checks to commit fraud. Be aware of this scammer please.

I was contacted about a job working as a shipping and receiving clerk. They stated they saw my resume on a job board. I currently have my resume listed on LinkedIn and other job boards as I am currently unemployed. I agreed to be paid $40.00 to receive packages and send them out after I inspect each package. It was $100.00 to go pick up packages. I have paperwork with copies of people driver's license allowing me to pick up packages on their behalf signed by notaries. I received and picked up multiple items including MACBOOKS, A GARMIN WATCH, IPAD MINI, CAR PARTS, APPLE WATCH, IPHONE, GUITARS, GAMING LAPTOPS valuing over at least $750.00 to $2500.00 a piece. I spoke with Ellington Guy, Ben Harold and the assistant manager of the shipping department on a daily basis. Ensuring I was receiving items and sending them out. The day of my pay date my system login no longer worked. The numbers that I called 405-791-6570, 405-648-8915 and 407-537-7679 are busy. I called from a different number and miraculously the last 2 numbers worked. I was scammed out of my time and resources. I thought I had a legit job. I sent my W2 information with a copy of my driver's license and bank information. I contacted my bank and changed my bank account number. I also pulled my credit report and have a credit monitoring. My fear is that someone will try to work under number social security number. Please don't fall for this scam. I am so desperate looking for work that I was gullible. I feel so much humiliation and embarrassment.
