I found a job application for a customer service representative for a call center through Indeed with Core Tax and Financial Advisor on 01/26/2023. They reached out to me the following day to inform me the position has already been taken but they would like to offer me a different and better position of which I would be a personal/admin assistant for Tiffany Jones (the person I received the email from). We exchanged emails a few times and when they asked me to refill their personal job application with my first, last name, DOB and SSN as well as references and referrals, I gave it to them under the guise of them doing a back ground check on me. They told me they'd make a decision by the following Tuesday. When the day came they told me I got the position (all done via email) and asked me to sign off on their forms to accept the contract and also fill out a direct deposit form for the position. Not a single phone call had been made, and by this time I was very skeptical. When I tried to call their company number during business hours it said it was restricted and thus, I couldn't push it through. I emailed Miss Tiffany back inquiring more details and demanding a phone interview, of which she blubbered and gave the bogus excuse of not being able to do so due to calls being recorded and they had too much sensitive information. All the while, she was subtly adamant that I fill out the direct deposit form and resent it to me via email to fill out. She wasn't even concerned about a background check or me signing the contract. She was very much focused on getting my routing and account number for my bank. I backed out of it and kindly told them I was not comfortable working with them as they did not dissuade my misgivings. It was just excuse after excuse. When I did my research on them, I learned the original owner of the Financial LLC was Gregory Lucas and he had been practicing since 2011. Everything was supposedly signed under his name, but the address given seemed to be for a home and not an actual firm or office. Please look into them and shut them down if necessary. I fear they may have gotten away with this for a long while now. There are no reviews of Core Taxes and Financial Advisors LLC anywhere.

Got offered a “reshipping job”. Basically just to get packages shipped to my house and then I would send them out. Hindsight, should’ve known it was weird they didn’t send it out directly, but I thought it was one of the actual jobs I was applied for on Indeed.

I had submitted a resume on Linkedin.com for any jobs available.

Received a text message stating: "Hello, I'm Eric Stone, I am contacting you regarding your resume approved for the Remote Data Entry / Admin Position; pay is $29 / hr. You are required to contact my employer on Signal. Download the app from your Google Play / App Store or signal.org. Add the HR Manager using his phone number 3132842879, and send him a message regarding the interview process. Your Interview code is INT-AD".

I did this, and spoke to a Mr. Springer (I deleted the app, and don't remember the first name he used). He asked me (via text) a few interview type questions, and then he asked for may email and home address. (Regrettably, I gave them to him). They then sent me an "offer letter", but the whole thing gave me a very bad feeling, so my wife and I looked into it, and found it to be a scam.

I got a text saying my application was chosen for an interview. I did the interview over Microsoft teams and was offered the job. $20 an hour for two weeks of training and then $35.10 an hour after. I was then told they would be sending me a check/money order to purchase all software and equipment I will need. That was all I needed to hear and left the conversation

I received a text message about a job offer from a woman named Melissa Mackey from Presidente Supermarkets. She said in order to schedule a phone interview download the messenger app Telegram and to contact Sabrina Moore. I did download the messenger and Sabrina Moore sent me a link that brought me to the Presidente Supermarkets website. She also provided a job description and asked me 9 interview questions including the name of my bank. Within 10 minutes of answering they told me I was hired and asked for personal information. At that point I deleted the conversations and reported them as junk.

I received an email from someone claiming to be HR with a fake company called "Always Legendary Trucking". They said they found my resume on indeed and wanted to hire me for a purchasing assistant position. The initial emails I sent in response were sent back to me as spam, so eventually, the "company" changed their email address entirely. I should have learned my lesson but I'm desperate for a job - I filled out the application and sent it back to them. After doing some more digging I realized that the company is fake and the position didn't even exist on indeed. They now have a lot of my personal information, but I am grateful I never gave them any of my bank account information.

I applied on LinkedIn. I immediately got a response from the recruiter. First red flag.

Then I started researching. All of the employees are recruiters from India, and none of them matched the job description I applied for. I also didn't see any US-based employees. In addition, I looked up their address and it's a location for a food shop. I didn't call the number because I would rather not have that conversation. Someone has also left a bad review on their Google, it only has two reviews. The website looks really legit, except the email which is too general "info@...". I really think this is a scam, please avoid applying!

I did multiple interviews with this "company" both over video chat and an in person interview. They had me turn down other job offer, then removed their offer for employment (over the phone agreement), after I did so. I think this is a scam company.

Was offered a job by a company that identified themselves as yusen logistics/ yusen ship. Filed out all the required paperwork and was told my first paycheck would be in 30 days from the day that I accepted the job offer. The job required me to work from home receiving and inspecting packages, before sending them out which worked out great for me being a cancer patient going through treatments. However it seems shady to me as the yusen logistics website doesn't even mention this address as one of their local GA offices and haven't heard of the position that I'm talking about when I called to check for my benefits.

Company acted like a 3rd part shipping company for individuals outside of the US. Oh to find they were shipping items with the states. They would have items shipped to your address or have fake authorized letter for you to pickup items in someone else name. They claim to pay to you a base salary and ask for all your information such as W4, SS #, bank account, etc.

The "work from home" employment offer was listed on Indeed.com initially. I applied, and have been contacted on 3 separate occasions by their representatives.

This is a scam job site platform that uses an app for independent contractors to book work and doesn't pay contractors for their services and if they do they take money out of what the contractor made from the business. This company also steals your bank information and sells your personal information on line

The business posted a virtual Assistant job on Upwork (freelance work) and I had applied for the job. The suspect reached out to me through my email and went through the hiring process. I supplied my personal info needed for employment. The company never supplied me a verified employment letter and the "Owner" asked me to make business purchases with my own money and cards. There were credit cards attempted to be opened in my name as well.

I was reached out by phone number by someone that claimed to be a recruiter for this company. I worked for one month, giving them sensitive info (ID, birthday, address, bank acc info) and they have ignored, ducked, and dodged all questions about my paycheck and to this day haven’t compensated me for my time.

I received a text message about a job offer from a woman named Sondra Dale from Presidente Supermarkets. She said in order to schedule a phone interview download the messenger app Telegram and to contact Jessica Walker. I did download the messenger and Jessica Walker send me a link that brought me to the Presidente Supermarkets website. It looked legitimate but then I realized she started asking me personal questions like my full name and location. I only gave my first name and the abbreviation of the state I live. I knew it was a scam because no company will ever ask you to download messenger to communicate at 8 PM in the evening to schedule an interview. I wanted to report this because as soon as I said I know this is a scam the entire conversation was erased.
