I was contacted by the "hr team" of wwt.com claiming that I submitted an application to them for a Payroll Asst. Position. Attached is a PDF of most of the documented convos between the "employer" and I. The check which included 2930.25 was deposited into my account on 9/15/2023 with the funds made available the same day. I was instructed to Zelle a vender to receive work materials. My credit union stopped the transaction and looked into it finding it was a scam. after further investigation the email was sent by "wwt.co" a false website created to mimic WWT Inc.

I was approached about a job, and interviewed over the course of two days via text conversation on the Signal app. It became clear that it was a scam by his email (a personal, not Intuit’s), and that they were sending a check via email to be mobile deposited for equipment. software, etc. The job also wasn’t advertised on LinkedIn or anywhere else. The first “person” to contact me was via text message, also, in hindsight, weird. I did not give out my bank account info or SS number. Just my mailing address, bank name, phone number, and biz email address. Thanks for your help. I’m uploading two pics of the two “people” on LinkedIn. I reported them on that site as well.

Avantra park ridge took all my information( social security, green card). Did background check and drug test. And then i called them after two- three weeks. They said they dont need employees anymore and it was a mistake. And then they gave me email to HR department and told me to send email to them. And got email they will figure out something. And then nothing happened

Job posting was paying too well for an entry level position. The company contacted my personal phone number from the career builder website even though I disabled any text messaging as a contact method.

They were insistent of sending a check and having me purchase company equipment rather than to send company equipment for the job posting, and they could not offer a reason for this that sounded legitimate. Grammatical and spelling errors were prevalent in the person who contacted me's messages, and this person has been reported on here already. Additionally she was pushy, bordering rude, about needing immediate responses in spite of me stating I was unavailable to speak or do an interview at the time of contact due to being at my current place of employment.

Her name is Casey Jones, and she would not answer most questions I had regarding the job its-self, while also stating herself as an HR Representative, but also my manager moving forward as I had apparently received the job after a single interview and no follow up. The Skype interview its-self was all through messaging - no video or voice call as is customary of online interviews.

Upon receiving the job, no rubric was forwarded to me to give all of the information that an average job would entail, such as code of conduct, job policies, etc. When I expressed I was no longer able to commit to this job moving forward, Casey did not respond beyond asking why. No exit response per what an employer or potential employer would and should say.

The website stated for the job, Celestia Biotech, is a convincing, professional website until one realizes it's missing key factors such as a 'careers' application tab, and that the 'contact us' information is incorrect for the listed region of business.

I applied for a job at my local hotel and a couple hours later this number texted me. Stupid me didn’t think anything of it and thought it was legit. They said they were the senior recruiter so I asked if it was the downtown location cause there’s more than one location and they said yes. They wanted me to fill out a form on the website I mentioned and I filled it out. Gave a picture of my license, and my social security. I kind of grew suspicious so I called. The first time they hung up. The second time they talked and then they acted like they weren’t able to hear me and then hung up.

It was for employment. At home position to be exact. The position starts at $25/hour along with they provide the equipment too. But heres the kicker you have to pay for the shipping of the equipment which is $100. Ive never heard of nor seen such in my life! I was so excited when i got offered the position too! Now im not sure how i feel. They also have some sensitive information of mine and i dont know what to do next. I dont understand why people put in so much work to scam people (hurt people). I do have screenshots as well.

I did have a Zoom chat no face time during the interview. I asked just like the other lady advised what bank would I like my funds sent to. They asked my address to send stuff to. I got the job and was supposed to start training Tuesday but I have been scammed before so I didn't trust this position. I had a lot of recruiter contacting me and this one didn't call once or face time since the position is remote. I am glad I look this up due to the company is a legit company but the are not hiring for any remote positions on there website. They also don't have the position I was placed in listed. I decided not to send my offer letter back with my signature.

I applied for a job online, the “recruiting manager” emailed me and had interview questions from the website with the header and other “real website” identifiers. Asked for banking information (I was scammed before so I opened up another account to be safe) and then said they would send me a check to deposit to purchase the materials needed. From the previous scam I encountered I immediately recognized it.

Hiring letter sent, signed with Docusign (nothing but signature) and returned. Prompt responses via Signal app, did two days of training (6 hrs total) via email and Signal app. Second day of training, told that a check to my name will come for me to purchase equipment listed via email.

They contacted me about a job as an Administrative Assistant. Work from home position. They provide all equipment to perform the position. I provided my name, address, and email address. I received a what they call a starter check. The amount of the check was for $5450.00, issued via Official Check.The font on the check did not match like it should have. My name and the note on the memo line, was very different. Took it to the bank and they confirmed what i suspected was a fraud check.

I was told I would be doing a data entry position. This is a contractor position and payment is 35$/hr, this will be remitted weekly, via Check for the first 2 weeks and they would set up direct deposit after that. I was also told the company will be issuing me a check, this will be for the purchase of all the equipment needed for the project from the company’s local vendor that is closest to my location, method of purchase and payment will be made known to me, once I receive the check, which will be arriving soonest.

Our supply team will begin scanning for vendors around my environment based on the zip code provided in my address. When I ask could we discuss this via phone I was told I would get a call the next I never did. I called the number listed on the site to the confirm the job and the lady on the phone ask for the email address that reached out to me, then she proceeded to say that this is a scam and disconnected the phone. PLEASE BEWARE! Thank goodness they did not get my social or account information!
