Lakeshore Inc Reports & Reviews (19)

I have been looking for part time work from home and have now been through the same interview process through a program like zoom or wire or many others with four different companies. They all have the same process. They ask you a bunch of questions after-which you are instructed to say “Done” after each one. Then they say they have to get your interview to their HR people and want you to wait online till they get an answer. When they come back the news is always you are “HIRED”. Then when I start asking them hard questions like why do you have an F rating on the BBB? Then the line goes dead and you are now fired. Oh and they always want to know where you bank. This last company was supposedly founded by “Walter White and Daniel Deville” their NYSE:IMPV. I AM PRETTY MUCH CONVINCED THESE WORK FROM HOME ads are all a scam. Don’t waist your time with them.

I attached screenshots of my experience, Because it’s all basically the same for everyone, but here is the proof.
Lakeshore Lies!

I received text almost identical to these. They are definitely scammers.

I received a message from someone who is supposed to be working at lakeshore Inc saying they were interested in my indeed resume. I was not applied to this company by the way. He sent me to a interview through Skype, his name was Delyne Craig and started asking me several questions about my laboral life and stuffs about the company, at the end of everything I was hired as a administrative assistant, payment of 37.14$ per hour! Totally fishy when he sent me a email with a check to be deposited into my account to buy my tools.. be aware ! Totally scam!

Got a message from Lakeshore and a Tim Slatter he kept me on Skype forever then sent document and a check to be deposited. I kept asking why the email came from Lackshore and he said simple mistake just wanted me to deposit the check. I didn’t of course. Too many red flags to trust. This came from Indeed. Be aware!

I received a text message from a Raymond Jayson saying he saw my resume on indeed and he wanted to hire me for a customer service position at $37 per hour. I researched the company and it didn’t make sense. When I called the number it is a text now account so it is a fake number. I text back some expletives and received expletives. Don’t fall for this scam!

I received a text message at 2:36pm on September 28th, 2021 by a woman named "Audrey Hill" head of the Recruiting department of Lakeshore Inc and her recruitment team has received my application via Indeed.com. They were very pleased with my listed qualifications and they would like to conduct an online interview for the customer service position (hourly rate of $30 per hour). This will be a work from home position with benefits. She asked if I was interested. (Of course I said yes because I wasn't thinking it was a scam I had applied to numerous jobs on Indeed and I believed her. ) So I continued with the process then she asked me we would like to invite you for a job interview and briefing with our HR department. Then she asked me if I had an gmail account or Skype. I told her I has gmail, or Zoom. Then she told me "fortunately one of the hiring managers is available via Skype. So I said fine I will download Skype, again because I am in need of a job. So as soon as I was set up I told her and she asked for my email address so the manager could send me an invite, however I received an email from [email protected] state the following "Good Afternoon, Hope you are well?

You are to message me via Skype using this link as I await your message: (

After the Skype interview and briefing she asked me to sign the offer letter right away and send it back to the email that the offer letter came from, [email protected]

Once I received it an had enough time to investigate and research the company I started to fine things that did not match like Website information, email address in contact wasn't a .ORG address like the website, misspellings, the client amount was 274 clients and only 18 hard workers website looked very basic and poorly put together. The more I looked into it I couldn't find any Linkedln information Facebook, Instagram, Twitter nothing on the company. I even looked back in my Indeed account to see if I could see anything with there name, I found nothing.

After that I looked at the offer letter and benefit booklet, everything looked odd

There was more but I will stop there.

It started to look fishy after all was side and done. Luckily I stopped and did my research before sending them the rest of my information. It's a shame that they will go to that extent to take your information. The whole hour I wasted and can't get back, the time I spent desperately looking for a job and in hopes that this one would have been it so I can provide for my family again.

Anyhow hope this helps and could help someone else from getting scammed.

omg, I just wasted 2.5 hrs with these ppl! The red flag was that I didn't apply and I was "hired" rather fast. the odd questions just as you described. I have worked for different banks and this reeked of fraud. No one will just give you money with instructions and to let their accounting know... Fraud absolutely!

Sorry you wasted your time with this company. I got a text from this company yesterday. First I felt fishy because $39.14/hour for customer service job sounded to good to be true. I looked on my indeed account and I didn’t apply for this company was fishy to me. I been researching scams and found your message. I have downloaded Skype again for my interview tomorrow. I’m not going to waste my time on interview tomorrow. Thank you for posting this to help others and good luck on your job search.

, went through an interview process with someone named Michael Clark yesterday and was supposedly hired. Then today spoke to a man named Ryan Laster who asked me for my login information for my bank account. There is no legitimate reason for anyone to have my login information all you need for direct deposit is my account number and my routing number.

I came across a job posting on Facebook Jobs for a company called Lakeshore, a work from home job so I applied via Facebook. A man messaged me & sent a link to join an interview through Skype. Paul Hudson was the name of the person interviewing me. He proceeded to give me a run down of the company and what it’s purpose was and then the specific job title I would have and the duties that I would need to perform. At the end, I was hired and he asked for information such as my full name, address, phone number, social security number, and a picture of my ID front and back. He then sent a code to my phone and had me send it back to him via Skype. At that moment, I began asking questions as I had caught on to things because it started to seem like it was fake.

A add for payroll clerk wasnt able to verify information notified the so call recruiter but no response

This company offered me a job that was too good to be true after only asking me a few questions. Their website says they are in New York city but the zip code has too many digits

I am just trying to get a decent paying job and this job reaches out to me, had me fill out a W-4 and a couple other documents like new hire paperwork. Then they asked for me to get a gift card.

I was contacted by a woman named Paulette Snavely via Facebook regarding a remote CSR position with Lakeshore. The position was $25 an hour to train and $45 an hour after successfully completing the training. She sent me a Skype link to begin an interview with a hiring manager. After a 4 hour Skype texting interview the man, named Robert James, requested my drivers license, social security information and birth certificate. After sending copies he used a third party to scan my face. I was told I had the job and he would be in touch. It was then that I started to put things together. I called Lakeshore and they stated that there were others that called with the same complaint.

- Bastrop, TX, USA

I applied to a Facebook job ad on marketplace for a remote payroll clerk for a company who is the cybersecurity leader and whose mission is to protect data and all paths to it. The company name is called Lakeshore. The person that responds to you in marketplace then directs you to another person who will do a skype interview. The interview was all via text. I was hired on the spot. I was also emailed an offer letter and benefits package and a W-4 form. They did ask me who I bank with to see if it "tallies up with the company's official salary payment." Not sure what that means but it all seemed legit until they asked me for my personal information to do a background check. In my experience a background check is done before you are hired. I knew this was a scam in the middle of it and almost fell for it but when I couldn't find them in ScamPulse.com then I knew. They did tell me they were registered. In their offer letter they do say they will send you a check to cover the costs of materials and supplies for the job, but if you change your mind and quit, you give it back to them in CASH. The benefits package was even legit. I looked them up online but being hired on the spot without talking to someone live is unheard of. I should have saw a red flag when they listed a six digit zip code on their website. here is how they list their add: A108 Adam Street, NY 535022

- Muskegon, MI, USA

Received a text message about a possible job offer from the phone number listed. The guy claimed to be Robert Scott. They wanted to connect with me through Google Hangouts, Telegram or Skype. We set all that up and I went through a long TEXT BASED interview. They mentioned that Lakeshore Inc. was connected with Imperva in some way. At the end they asked for me to hold on while the department manager reviewed my answers. 20 minutes later I was hired! When they didn't want to do a second interview and started sending me forms that needed my account number for direct deposit and SSN to report taxes I knew what was up. They got the State I live in and my name, that's all. Didn't eve know this was a tactic! One more thing you have to be careful about.

Caller leaves message on multiple numbers indicating they are a compliance officer calling about a pending case that will become public record if filed. They offer you the opportunity to call the filing party before they "discharge" the paperwork and give you a number to call.

I called the number twice and talked to two different operators who identified themselves as "Lakeshore". One of the operators would not tell me what kind of company they were, and was easily aggravated by my questions. The other indicated they were a "civil litigation" firm, and was also threatening when i would give them the "case number".

They also called my spouse's phone number, and used my name on both calls.

Interesting, they say they have had trouble reaching me, when I've lived at the same house for 20 years, had the same phone numbers for 30 years. I'm not hard to find!

Called me 3x to tell me I have viruses in my computer, and that they can clean up the hard drive. I haven't fallen for their tactics, but want to report them.
