Essilor Group Reports & Reviews (6)

I tried to email the [email protected] of Essilor to verify this person Judy Myers. Please let me know who's in charge of this and I'm willing to cooperate to get some info about the scammer. I'm still chatting with Judy Myers they want me to buy the materials. I asked her to cancel my application and we will send the money back to them. I don't want my best friend to be in trouble. I think once they gave the information where to send back the money you can trace this scammer.

Almost the same scenario. The only difference was I'm from the Philippines. They reached out to me saying that I'm qualified for the customer service position. So what happened was, I asked my best friend Pinky who's in Texas to received the check. it looks legit they provided me the link to Essilor they gave me a contract to sign. they will send money for the materials that I will be using at work. They told me that they have a TRUSTED VENDOR where I need to buy the materials. My best friend Pinky was able to deposit the money to her bank. while waiting for the money to be deposit I had this feeling that there's something wrong with this person JUDY MYERS claiming to be an HR Department. So I decided to research more about the company then I saw this NOTICE ON FRAUDULENT JOB OFFER ACTIVITY. That's the time I realized this is a fraud. I'm still chatting with Judy Myers (HR) she wants me to BUY the materials to the trusted vendor. I think this is the time where you need to sign up all of the Bank info to the website or link that they will be sending. I told her to cancel my application and we will send the money back to them. she told me that she will provide info where we can send the money back to them. I'm just afraid of my best friend because she's the one who deposits the money to her bank, I don't want her to be in trouble because of this. I think using this info that she will be sending you can trace these people who are claiming to be an ESSILOR agent.

They reached out to me saying the are looking for people like me with my experience. Recruiter Derrick Brain [email protected]

Then interviewed over messages on hangouts by John Miley [email protected]

Everything seem fine up in till this point, the sent me a Employment letter which looked very sketchy & fabricated on a odt file. The claim to be a hiring group you will work for Roche company, but the employment letter says Essilor group. But the email states offer letter from your employer Appen limited. This where they asked for a photo of your ID front & back. This is the part where I knew it was a scam.

The scammer used my LinkedIn account to see my resume. Then they used two Linkedin account names and made a connection with me. The first name that they used was Greg Ericson who they said worked for Essilor. He first contacted me by text and then contacted me by phone call. Then they said that they wanted to set up an instant messaging interview with me. They gave me a gmail address and wanted me to contact them through google hangout app. On the instant messenger they said that I would be speaking with a different person and his name was Steve Cunningham. I spoke with Steve for 3 hours about the job and what I could bring to their company. After this they said that I was what they were looking for and that they offered me the job. They said that they would be sending me HR paperwork that I would need to fill out and send back to them. They then said that they would send it back to me in the mail and have me sign the paperwork and that they were sending me an Apple Laptop. So this morning I felt like this was to good to be true and decided to contact them through the IM app and just talk to them about my concerns. I could not get a straight answer from them. I told them that I felt like this was a scam and that they would need to prove to me that they were legit. I told them that I wanted to have a face to face chat on a video chat. They said okay and I called them multiple times and every time they would answer the chat they would cover the video camera on their side. The last time that I called they answered and I was able to get a clear picture of the guy. He did not match the picture on the Linkedin Profile. The profile was a white guy in his 50s and the guy that was on the video chat was a African American male in his 30s. They also told me that they had already sent me a "Good Check" in the mail so that I could purchase my equipment. I will let you know if I receive it.

My friend is in a different country and experiencing the exact experience like this. Being in a different country the HR told my friend they’ll going to send him a check to buy materials for the job but they should send it to the person that is in the US. So my friend ask me if i could receive the check and just send the money to him when it is ready. They asked for my account name and number and email address. And then I received a mail from them attached with a check worth $3,850. The instruction was to print the check and do a mobile deposit and sign for endorsement and ask me to screenshot the confirmation once I deposited it. I was just helping a friend who really needs a job now I guess I am the one who will get in trouble because i deposited the money. And now it is on pending and waiting to be funded. I called my bank to cancel it but my bank told me they couldn’t cancel it because it is already processing and ready for funding tomorrow. So I asked my friend to ask whoever he was talking to where to send back the money once I received it. They told my friend they will send info where to send it back but they’re not sending any info yet. So now I don’t know what to do tomorrow when I received the fund. I’ll give an update soon.
