We are looking forward to receiving your response!

I responded to the email seeking further details.

I received a response from John Barrett, a representative from the HR Department at Resources & Prosperity Foundation. He used the email address [email protected] and the content was largely repetitive. They requested that I fill out an application, which I completed, but I declined to provide my social security number or references at that stage. The communication indicated that I would be contacted for an interview in due course. While waiting for a phone call, I reviewed the website and dialed the provided phone number, which rang without being answered or directed to voicemail. Upon further investigation, I uncovered that the website had only been created a mere two months ago. Later on, I received a phone call from an individual named "Alex," whose LinkedIn profile can be found at https://www.linkedin.com/in/alex-turner-10209152/. The call came from the number 239-935-5530, and Alex's accent was notably strong. Alex says, basically you would receive packages, take inventory, and then ship them to the office. We will send you the labels, you do not pay for anything. You get paid 2,250 USD + 450 USD bonus if you process all incoming orders in less than 24 hours after a postal label is issued. The conversation felt rushed, and while I managed to ask a couple of questions, the interaction was brief. Alex mentioned that I would receive an email from my future manager for the next steps. Interestingly, I then received an email from Elena - Title I responded to the email seeking further details.

I then received an email from Elena Mieses - SR Manager of Resour?es & Prosperity Foundation, using the same email address that John Barrett had used earlier. Her email states: Welcome to the Resources & Prosperity Foundation!

My name is Elena Mieses. I was appointed to be your personal manager. I will be your supervisor at the moment, and I will give you all the tasks.

We have considered your Application Form, and we would like to offer you to become one of our employees. Congratulations!

However, to complete the procedure of applying to the Foundation Giving Officer position, you need to follow just a few more steps. As soon as you complete these steps, we will launch your training period right away.

Now I would like to move forward to the following step. First of all, there is a file attached to this email - an Employment Agreement. Please read it thoroughly, as due to the United States labor law you need to fill in the agreement before we start.

If you agree to its terms and conditions, print out the form and sign it. After signing you can either scan it or take a high-quality photo, where your signature should be clearly distinguished.

In order to verify your age and identity we require a scanned image of your driver's license or passport, and Utility Bill (we need the Utility Bill to confirm your place of living and address). It is the policy of the Resources & Prosperity Foundation that all employees submit to a background investigation prior to employment. The background check may consist of the following components:

1. Criminal History Check

2. Employment Reference Check

3. Social Security and Address Verification

4. Driver's License Check

These documents will be enclosed to your Employee Card. Your personal data will remain confidential. As soon as you have all the documents ready, you should email them back to me. Do not forget to attach the Employment Agreement as we won't be able to proceed without it.

Upon receiving your email, I will contact you shortly to give all the information required for the launch of your training period.

Please remember that we run a background check on all of our new employees. As you are going to deal with our clients' valuable goods, we will need to check your criminal, personal and financial records.

Now we are waiting for the rest of the documents from you. Thank you and talk to you soon!

I opted not to proceed further with this scam.

Valerie Parker (HR) reached out to me via email with a job position, I responded I was interested she sent me a formal job application to fill out, described training and job details, she also sent me an employment contract and told me to scan an ID photo. Once I completed that she transferred me to Jennifer Embrey (Manager) she told me to fill out a W-4 and sent a Direct deposit form for me to print out, complete, then scan and send back to her but I didn't because she told me that I would be interviewed after I sent this information, which is odd to have me go through a hiring process before interviewing.

Emails used are [email protected] and [email protected]

I trained for two weeks to be a customer service rep. Upon completion of the training, I was offered a management role that required me to send selfies with my social security cards and driver's license. When I declined the role, he told me I was dismissed from the company.

Person reached out via email about a job opportunity which was not disclosed. Used a very old email address for me, which was immediate flag. Noted someone referred me to him, but didn't mention a name and I haven't worked with a staffing agency in years. Website is very fake looking with no real images of people.

The email never said any business name so that was a red flag. Instead, it was from someone named Brandon Domingue, the return address is [email protected]. The email was short and asked to send my resume to [email protected] for a data entry specialist position. I immediately looked up that email and came to this website saying that it was a scam.

This is the email I received after going through two complete phone interviews. There is a lot of "scam" employment opportunities out there and I always try to do my due diligence when I apply, this company seemed to be legit until I noticed the ease of everything as well as some grammatical errors. This is one of the messages I received on their work space website. Ater looking more into this company I had found more people reviving the same email verbatim.

Congratulations on successfully completing your phone interview.

To become part of our friendly team, you need to download and fill out the appropriate documents from the "Documents" section of your profile.

Please note that there are two versions of the agreement attached to the Work Panel, part and fill-time. You only need to fill out one copy of the agreement.

All information must be entered without errors. A copy of your ID must be in high quality, without any editing. You can send either a scanned or photographed copy of your ID card.

Our server is protected by strong encryption, so all your documents will be kept secure.

Once you attach all of your completed documents to the Work Panel, they will automatically be sent to the legal department for review. We will then be able to start the training, which will take place over 5 days. More information will be available in the Handbook, which will be provided to you after our legal department has reviewed your documents and completed your employment process.

If for any reason you have trouble uploading files to the Work Panel, please send the documents to my email and I will forward them to the legal department.

We are sure that your first steps will be successful and you can easily join our friendly team. Together we can achieve great success.

If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to email me.

Have a great day.
