i was sleeping the other day, i used LinkedIn to find data entry jobs. Until In 8 in the morning i got a text message...from Arise Virtual Solutions INC. a guy name Anthony said he saw my Resume and wanted me to interview a woman name "Mrs Sydney Everett " and said they paid 28$/hr. First, i never sent a resume to Arise. Second, there's no 28$ pay to any Data entry jobs. Third, there's no woman name Sydney Everett in LinkedIn or in the actual company.

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.

Received a check for $2950 in the mail with instructions to text a phone number with proof of deposit once I did the the person I texted then told me to send $1000 via Zelle to an account for the decal installation. I told them I would do that once I was sure the check would clear but eventually the check bounced I never sent any money.

Frank Elliot from Vytalize health Offered me a job, and I’m in need of a job. Then ran me through an entire job briefing and interview like a normal job, then sent me formal Position acceptance letters to fill out, sign and return. And all hiring paperwork to print off, fill out, and send back. Which I did. Then he changed up his story and asked for me to purchase the equipment from a vendor and he would reimburse me on my first pay check. It was like a little over $1,000. I told him I couldn’t do that. Then he told me today he was gonna send me a check in the mail which was the initial plan anyways. And now I’m realizing it all seems a bit odd. Back and forth. And I feel it’s odd. I told him that I’ll seek work elsewhere and he can keep his check he was trying to send me.

Initiated contact from someone named Mrs Amber Hooper "your resume has been reviewed on our Career Builder job board and you've been selected to interview for a position. Company name: Copel Energy and the pay is 2,000 weekly" Gave me a contact with [email protected] which ended up being Victor Romero, who works for the company, but his interview was nothing about job skills, they told me i would be sent a check to cover costs of equipment for an office space, then proceeded to tell me that I needed to Send money to a vendor in 1,000 dollar increments, using various different names, and numbers, and asking repeatedly if i'm able to send the money and asking for proof it's been sent.

I was searching on line jobs and came across this one. I used to be a quality control inspector So I didn't seem that weird to be hired for a quality inspector job. I've been doing this job for about a year now and recently went into UPS to pick up a package there I was told that scammers were using my exact protocol for fraud so I thought oh my God did I get scammed I wanted to reach out to the BB to ensure that what I'm doing is not illegal because I don't want to be held accountable for something I knew nothing about all I know is that I've been opening packages inspecting them and then sending them off to another location yes now looking back it does look a little weird but I honestly thought this was a quality control inspection position so I didn't question it until being told by UPS that it might be a scam so I'm reaching out to you to make sure That this is either legit or not

To whom this may concern,

A fake agency called Always Legendary trucking tried to get my bank Information to wire scam money to my account. In the name of a potential job position at the fake company.

I was approached two weeks ago from what I thought was a temp agency about a work from home purchasing assistant position. The hiring manager told me all contact would be through telegram and tried to get me to give up my bank information.

I was told that for 4 week I will receive a set number of packages. Once I got the packages I was to report to Linda Patterson visa email. Once confirmed Linda work send me a new shipping label and I had to print and tape the new label on and confirm with her that the labels and packages was correct. I was then told to go to a post office, or UPS, ect, to deliver the packages with the new label on it. I had to send a picture of the receipt to confirmed I sent them off. I was promised a set pay of $2,000 plus $40 per package that I delivered. I would receive my payment direct deposited into my account every 4 weeks. Once I asked Linda when will I get paid, I was told Dec. 4th, however, I didn't receive payment nor any response back from my emails wondering why I haven't got paid.

I received text message for job offer working form home as customer service position; the individual who contacted me via text informed they had reviewed my resume from Career Builder's website searching for specialist in Customer Service representative, & I might be interested in a position with their team. I was given a Skype live ID # to contact their hiring manager for further details and interview, to which I proceeded to an interview via Skype, conducted on 12/6/22. After the whole interview process I was instructed to wait on the line while their supervisor reviews the interview questionnaire & responses & in about maybe 10-15 minutes I was informed I was a great candidate & was hired. They asked for an email address to send the Hire Offer letter for me to sign & send back, which I did. Moving forward they then said they'd be sending me via email a check to be able to purchase supplies needed for the position, such as a MacBook Pro, All-in-One Printer, desk/chair etc., to purchase from a list of their approved vendors. I was to print, sign & do mobile deposit of check into my account & then send the vendor the money via Zelle app. The first check payment I received from this company was for $1,684 of which $150 they said was for me to keep as a 'start-up' bonus as new hire. Once that first check was deposited, the next day I was instructed to do a Zelle payment to the vendor, a Mr Marvin Fritter, for $534, and a second for $1000 with email: [email protected]. Upon completion of that I was emailed a second check for the rest of the supplies & to cover shipping/handling fees for $3685 to do the same steps as with the previous check to sign & deposit. They wanted me to do a 3rd Zelle transaction for $1500, which I informed the recruiter I was still chatting with on Skype I couldnt do $1500 until I confirmed with my bank that the full check had cleared, but could do $500 only; which they were not happy about but agreed to the amount for the time being. On 12/7/22 when I checked my bank account to confirm if the second check had cleared, I had a notification that the first deposit for $1684 had come back returned for 'fraud' account. At this point I started to realize what could be happening, that I was scammed, and stopped all form of communication with the individual via Skype. They had tried to call me 3 times on Skpy since, which I did not respond.
