hello my name is Adriana Crayton reaching out from Koru Lifescience limited to inform you are schedule for a job interview job pays $37hr WFH down load the teams app and submit your info

• Feb 16, 2024

I applied for a remote sales job and I got contacted by this company went through a whole entire interview and basically got told I got the job then when it came to the check, the first one, for some reason was stolen off of my porch, you know, porch pirates, then they send me one via PDF and I had printed out myself and I deposited the check, and I was not even five minutes later by my bank and told that the check was a counterfeit, and that the people who were claiming to work for this company are truly not real and that even though the company itself does look real, the people that are contacting others, like myself are not working for the company. He does persist that it’s not a scam although I doubt my bank would lie to me so now I have to deal with fraud on my account. Thank God they caught it and they’re sending it back. I was contacted by Den Michaels. I saw on one of the reviews or one of the posts on here that someone else was also contacted by him, but it seems they have a top three people that they are choosing to use like to contact people through the Signal app. The company itself only has an email I can’t find a phone number but I can’t find an address. I also was asked a long list of questions answered them, and like I said, went through an entire interview process and then was told I was hired, which is unfortunate because I truly do need a At Home job.
Scam though they are persistent it’s not

They provided several "Work from Home" positions available and asked which I would be interested in. Said the interview process was all done online via Microsoft Teams and said everything you need to know will be briefed by the hiring manager. Provided a MS teams link to easily connect and a code (*******) that is the sorting code for the interview. This is the 1st step to proceed further. Below is how the interview (IM) proceeded:

Alright, Kindly answer this question;

Please fill out the schedule below by responding to the following inquiries:

1. To what extent are you willing to work a day's worth of hours?
2. What is the window of time that you can work? Please let me know if you are able to work longer than five hours a day.
3. Which phone network provider do you use?
4. Would you rather receive your paycheck every two weeks or every week?
5. Do you prefer a check or a transfer for your paycheck?
6. Which bank do you work with and what is its name? (Note that we are only requesting the name of the bank you use; we are not requesting your bank account information.)
Please see the list of our equipment below:

- Time recorder and tracker - MacBook (with required software pre-installed)
- iPhone (with necessary software pre-installed)
- Machine for laminating insertable index tabs and bindings
- Attachable audio and visual presentation equipment, office chair, table, digital color laser copiers, scanner, printer, ink laser toner, mailing machine, shredder, and cutter.

As an online work-from-home job, The Time Tracker calculates your work hours from the company server in order to pay you.

I was sent a check for $7,250.00
The funds must be used in accordance with the guidelines provided, which include buying the essential software and hardware. I will put you in touch with one of the company's approved vendors, who will give you a discounted price because of our established rapport and agreement with them. Before sending the program to you, the vendor will install it and apply any necessary updates and patches. Do you have any inquiries?
You are to make a purchase from the company’s accredited vendor with the money after depositing the check.
Please submit a business-grade photo of yourself for your ID card. (I SENT A PICTURE!)

Excellent! Tomorrow, please report to me at 8 am your time for an update on the check & the tasks that need to be completed. You will be reporting to me via the Signal Private App. To do so, simply login to your Signal Private App and message me for the update. Is everything clear?
After two months of employment, you will have the opportunity to visit the company's headquarters, and your salary will probably increase after a predetermined amount of time.
Here's what you ought to do:

To deposit the check, go to the ATM or the mobile app on your bank. Within one to two business days of the money being deposited, it will be credited to your account and available for withdrawal.
As soon as the money is completely usable, you have to take out $100 as your welcome bonus. For record-keeping purposes, you must email or attach a clear scan of the receipt. This will allow the Head of Accounting Department to notify you and post the funds to you the same day.
You can delete or distort any written account information that you may have.
You'll be able to manage this, in my opinion.
Deposit received. Due to your start date, you must make a partial payment purchase for your working equipment in order to have the necessary equipment transported to your home address to prepare you for work. Take note that every penny you spend will be refunded to you along with your first paycheck. Okay
Me- I have to order the equipment today, before the deposited money is off hold with my bank?
Reply- Yes. I believe you can come up with a partial payment for your supplies to start the shipment to you, so you can begin training pending when the sum is fully accessible in your account.
Me- How much do I need to front for this equipment Reply- $750 Me- I don't have that much. Reply- How much can you pay, Me- $100
I spoke with the seller and explained the situation to him, and it is likely that I will assist you with payment to help you get your materials to your front door. I believe you are ready to carry out the $100 deposit now.
Are you familiar with PayPal or Cash App? Me- PayPal
Good. Please have the amount in your PayPal balance and let me know the vendor's PayPal information. Me- Who am I paying.?
Here's the vendor's information:
Name: Romeo Lopez.
PayPal email address: [email protected].

Contacted me about my application via Indeed.com, despite the fact that I had never applied. Tried to get me to install Signal before giving me any more information.

- Stamford, CT, USA • Dec 05, 2023

Brian Hebert texted me saying he a Sr Recruiter with Koru Lifescience Limited and provided a bunch of stay at home jobs, and provided me with a link to connect with a hiring manager, Katrice Mercedes. Neither exist on linkedin, and the Koru company is based in New Zealand. i never clicked the link, as the whole thing seems fishy

I got the exact same text, and I spoke to Katrice on Teams. They took me through a long series of questions before asking me to please buy all my necessary equipment up front from their "esteemed and reliable Vendor, with whom we have maintained a longstanding business relationship". Total scam. Also the domain provider is DomainsByProxy which is worth a google. Avoid Koru Lifescience.
