- Brooklyn, NY, USA

The scammer contacted by both text and email claiming I’d already been made their personal assistant and that I need to respond promptly to all emails. I was told I was required to put in my 2 week notice if I wanted to quit.

- Valrico, FL, USA

Received a text stating they are from Lucky Fibre Staffing. Looking for a Data Entry Clerk work from home position. They asked if I’m interested to please reply with a “YES, I am”. She stated her name was Deborah Gardner from Lucky Fibre Solutions, LLC. And saying that my resume has been reviewed. Once I texted back stating I am interested. The next text message said “Do you consent to a background check. It’s a criteria before interview at the job” at this point i became skeptical. I said yes anyway. They sent me this text “As part of our background verification protocol, we've partnered with id.me a government identity tool to conduct a thorough criminal record check. Could you please let me know if you are available for this verification process at the moment?” I responded Yes, I am. They sent another text saying “we kindly ask that you provide some key information. This is a quick and simple process, taking just about 10-15 minutes of your time.

Please visit our website at https://www.luckyfibrestaffing.com/ to fill in your details. Once this is done, we can immediately proceed with providing you the verification.

As per your request

No data’s are saved on our server” so I checked the link and it’s suppose to be their website. Looks ok. But not enough info so I responded “Is there any way I can speak with you first? I have a couple of questions. I’m very interested. However, wouldn’t want to waste your time if it isn’t a good fit.” And their next text was “A verification stage has to be passed first before anything”. Which in turn definitely made me feel uneasy because that link asks for ALL YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION. Including your social. So I responded back saying “Ok. No thank you then. Not sure how this company expects people to provide personal information including their social security # through a website on the pretense of a “background check” without speaking to anyone. You can be a Walter from what I know. Have an amazing day! I will be reporting this. ??”. They only read my message but didn’t say anything after that.

Dear *******

According to our inquiry of the position of Regional Branch Manager in Purchase and the position of the Purchasing Manager, we have received your email from the HR agency. We wish to notify you about opened positions in TRADE IBAU GMBH USA LLC, a US Branch of Trade.iBau GmbH.

"Trade.iBau GmbH" is a world-class import-export company. Our focus is direct worldwide shipping of items that aren't readily available in other countries. You can find information about our Company in the attachment named Company Data.pdf.

For the organization of the direct supplies of the goods from US market we are opening vacancies in 24 states of US:

- Position of the Regional Branch Manager in Purchase.

- Position of the Purchasing Manager.

Let me introduce myself. My name is Alice Gerber, and I will be your Supervisor. I am pleased to tell you about the Purchasing Manager position. We are looking for an official representative of our Company for your state.

This position requires the following responsibilities:

1. Purchase designated items using "TRADE IBAU GMBH USA LLC" money.

2. Complete and detailed current progress reports about your buys and shipments.

3. Item processing, including receiving, processing, and delivery.

4. Any other administrative duties as designated.

This position is a work-at-home position. Your income will be reported on a 1099 form at the year's end. We are planning to open a Company office in your state within six months. If you perform your responsibilities to the Company's satisfaction - you will be selected to run the state office. The main goal of TRADE IBAU GMBH USA LLC is to lower the price of goods in Europe and Asia. These goods must be shipped from the US to Europe and Asia using strict quality guidelines to accomplish this goal. These items can be purchased in retail stores or directly from US distributors and can be exported without any permits. You decide the start date. There will be a three-week probationary period. During which you will be evaluated for your performance and work as a representative of the Company. We will assess your compliance with instructions and the amount of time required to complete assignments. Suppose you do not meet the agreed-upon responsibilities during the probationary period, and we decide to end our relationship. In that case, we will pay for your work equivalent to an average monthly salary. You will not have any out-of-pocket expenses during the probationary period. If you have a job, you can work on a part-time basis.

During the probationary period, you can combine this activity with your daily work. You can determine the most convenient days to complete our assignments. We will always tell you the day and the time of the assignment and the required time frame in advance. To complete the probationary period successfully, you will need to complete a minimum of 8 assignments.

You would get a commission of between 15% to 25% of the purchase amount for every finished assignment. Upon successful completion of the probationary period, you will be given a position with our Company. The basic salary makes up $124,800 per year, $10,400.00 per month plus commission. The commissions are not limited and will generally exceed your base salary. Our Benefits package includes Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, and Life Insurance. After the probationary period, you would receive your salary and commissions by check or direct deposit within seven business days. Also, there will be an option to receive your commission after every fulfilled assignment.

If you wish to apply for this position, please fill out the application form at our website: https://www.trade-ibau.com/apply/ If the link does not work, please copy and paste it into the address bar of your web browser. If you have any problems filling out the application form online, please let us know by email. We will send you the application form as a file. You will have to print it out, fill in all the information, and send us the scanned copy.

If you have any questions, please feel free to call or email me. Also, you can contact our US Toll-Free number: +1.855.9623.408. I will be available from 09:00 AM to 1:00 PM and from 3:00 PM to 7:00 PM ET.

Please forward your decision via email to me.
