I received an email from [email protected] regarding job offer for Administrative Assistant replied stating I was interested I then get a lengthy description of the “company” and what not. She then says that we communicate using Ring Central and that I had to download it… interview process was me literally using the app to communicate yes or no answers. Shortly after I recieved an offer letter. Previous email regarding the company’s policies and then I saw this which kinda made me skeptical.

The above equipment will be installed with your working software by our certified local vendors who will be coming over to set it up for you. You will then be forwarded to your supervisor to start your training. The software will be needed for your training and will be used once full work begins. The company has made provision for you to get your software pack from the vendor. Once your performance meets the company's standard during the interview you will be offered the position and your home office location will be registered with the human resources (HR). Next you enter into the pre-training / startup period during which you shall complete various task(s) assigned by your hiring manager. To compensate you for your time and effort on these tasks you will be rewarded with a bonus which is included on your startup funds from the finance department. Although a background check will be done before your hiring manager will help you in applying for your startup funds from the finance department. Your startup funds would be used to purchase your working software and equipment. Once the application is approved, you will receive your startup funds and your hiring manager will instruct you on how to acquire the recommended working software and equipment and get started with full training.”

If all this equipment was suppose to be shipped to me I didn’t understand why I needed a start up check but went with it. Fed Ex shipped the check to me and the amount was $6,550 which seemed odd I was told to take a picture of it so she can see it… seconds after submitting screenshot she messages me back stating to void check and another one will be dispatched. Few days later I received the check but the amount was bigger $8,750 to be exact both checks were different and the banks were completely different. RED FLAGS she tells me to deposit it into my account but says it’ll be faster if you do mobile deposit.. another red flag I told her no I would feel comfortable going to the bank because of the amount. She replies saying “ok.” Skip to the bank part… I showed them both checks and the bank teller says the information in their system doesn’t match up on what’s on the 2 checks. Anywho, I wasn’t going to just deposit that much into my account and I’ve never even spoke with you on the phone… work from home opportunities will have you excited and blind to what’s right in front of you.

Had a similar experience to the previous victim. Was "hired" by the "company", and was then sent a check of $6850 as a signing bonus. I then took it to the bank to deposit as instructed, to which I was told that the check was fraudulent. Avoid applying to this scam of a company at all costs.

Same here. But I never applied to this company before I received an email about the job offer.

Harrassment with phone calls and mail wanting to buy property I don't own no matter how many times I tell them I don't own that property.

this company sends their sales people to people’s doors at all hours of the day. my neighbors and I have caught them peeking into peoples windows, ringing doorbells and leaving and other extremely suspicious activity. they have been told to not come into our gated community as you cannot be here unless you have the gate code OR have an appointment. total suspicious activity and cops/sheriff office have gotten this community on their radar
