I went on Upwork to find employment and I was contacted and subsequently interviewed by a company claiming to need a proofreader. The interview was on Skype only. I filled out a questionnaire online, then they said they would have something posted on Skype in an hour. Later I checked and was informed I had gotten the position. Then I was sent a contract about my position and the wage I would receive. I signed it and sent it back as a PDF. The next day I was contacted by my "supervisor" who sent me a list of items I needed to do the job, such as a Mac Book Pro, an HP printer and a few kinds of software, including Microsoft Word, which I found strange since they wanted me to work on a Mac. I asked if I was expected to buy these items and the "supervisor" informed me that they would send a check to a vendor and then let me know where to pick the items up from. I told them that my brand new Surface computer had specs far superior to those they were listing, and so did my Canon printer, but they insisted. It was then that I realized that this might be a scam since no one is just sending out Mac Books. I looked online and found out on the Upwork site that there were posts about this same scam, which was under the company name of SandVIper (this was on the contract I signed) and how it was a scam. I then went to the SandViper websites (Facebook and the organic site) and realized that there was very little for sale on those sites (they are supposed to be a athletic clothing company) and virtually no contact info. I think this company is being used as a shell company to collect the information of unsuspecting victims and use it for whatever reason. Thank goodness I did not fill out a W9, but there was another victim on Upwork who was very afraid since she actually did give them lots of info. At the very least I want someone to figure out if this is a legitimate company, or if scammers are using it. I would also like for Upwork to be contacted and do a lot more to take the scammers off of their site. Their attitude is that it's basically the problem of the victim. I think all of this is unacceptable. This is the Upwork community post where all the victims are talking about it: https://community.upwork.com/t5/Freelancers/edited-scam/m-p/1144202

There is also a secondary site: https://sandviper.com/

This site looks photoshopped. This is the original posting: https://www.upwork.com/jobs/~01acb0c48969211dee

I also have screen shots of the Skype conversations with the initial contact person and the "supervisor" who came on later.

A person of HHS official to issue a government grant to issue Grants post on Facebook and text me from a friend's acct hacked his and my account. He said that if I gave him $250 I could get it within a day and he would take a Google Play card I did $50 in Google Play and ask for the rest and I noticed all the messages were erased thank God I took screenshots of everything and I told Facebook that it was a scam and he had my account locked. Then it got deleted he deleted it because he changed my email and password linked to my acct. He even had you take a picture of your id for verification it was you for the grant and sent me a authentication paper. The authentication with an eagle in the American flag on it and send that as proof of the grant there was housing repairs and others..

Miriam Ackerman from Louisiana made a post on the Facebook page Saitama Token (Official Cryptocurrency) of which he is a moderator and operator of the page Saying quote:

"To make the deal sweeter! ONLY community members who hold Balloon Fiesta NFT's will be eligible to the 2 Million dollars giveaway I promised when Saitama hits $1.00. This is to show appreciation to those who support our project. Get yours today! #saitama"

My understanding that giveaways/raffles/sweepstakes of this magnitude are illegal in the United States when a person is forced to pay for entry. The cost to purchase the Balloon Fiesta NFT through Saitama Realty is roughly $43

In the comments of this post he included the Saitama website with a link to more information about this raffle/giveaway. No where in the original post on Facebook nor on the link to the official Saitama website does it offer entry without purchase of the Balloon Fiesta NFT.

This person is a Con Artist pretending to help people with their rental needs but pocketing the money & making excuses about her services. I paid her for he services & she hasn’t completed the job & when I complained about it she refused a refund,then her & her spouse went on to belittle me & get rude & unprofessional. After speaking with other displeased customers I’ve learned that they’re scammers. Their company is not legit & they’re stealing money from hard working people.

Pay 60 to get 1500 when I wanted only 145 for the item before getting the money for a sofa.

She continued to request (demand) the $60 to be sent to [email protected]

Never gave me her email or phone number

I believe she lives in Ruston Louisiana

Yancy Riley Sparkle applied with our company acting as two different people. We have verified that this is identity theft. She is acting as other people and she even gave us a fake drivers license. Looks like she is running a "credit repair" but probably using these peoples sensitive information to apply for credit else where.

This person now has a copy of my Drivers License... when they asked for my FB password, I then became suspicious, the FB friend was a very trusted person. I'm horrified at what to do now.

This is an advertisement on Facebook. I've reported them and Facebook will still run the ads on the feeds. They're trying to collect my information and it's because I've cached their groups to my own page. My page displays some information and Arabic groups are coded and run on different displays.
