Hacked Experis (Manpowergroup) recruiter reached out to me offering a good to be true position. Promptly asked me to provide Drivers License and W-2 form. Did not realize it was a scam until it was too late. After sending in my personal information, asked me to pay shipping fee for the "remote working equipment", asked for $188 to be precise. Email used to reach out via email was **username**@manpowersgroup.com (did not realize there was an "s" hidden within the email address). Scammer was smart enough to have a fake email address ready on-hand. They also have another email address for their "Supervisor" with email address [email protected].

I contacted Kimberly Anna and went through interview chat and was approved for employment. When I requested the company’s address I her response was: We’ve told you about the company, you don’t have to bother yourself if you are not comfortable we can easily terminate employment. Thank you." She never would provide company address and phone number. She wants my address, phone number, and email sent to another email address.

I applied for an administrative assistant remote position on LinkedIn. I received a message through Linkedin from Danielle M Kennedy-Jones stating my resume was reviewed and shortlisted. She advised to email Phillip for more information ([email protected]). From there I was asked interview questions by Phillip via email then later was advised I received the job and I needed to complete a background check through a link with Jotform. There I was asked to input my contact information and upload pictures of my driver's license and social security card

A job was posted on LinkedIn for a Data Entry Specialist position. The original URL is: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3815534368 however, that page no longer exists. I was then contacted by a "Jeremi Rust" on 1/29/2024 via text who said:

"Dear Candidate,

My name is Jeremi Rust, and I am the Hiring Manager LOOS. Thank You for your interest in our Data Entry Specialist position. We appreciate your time and effort in applying for the position.

We are excited to learn more about you and your qualifications for this role. We believe that you could be a great fit for our team, and we look forward to hearing more about your experience with data entry and data management. Also be aware that it's our procedure to go through background/contact and identity check before interview as it was stated on the job requirements. Before we move forward with the interview process, we would like to confirm your interest in the position and your availability for the interview process.

Best regards,

Jeremi Rust, LOOS"

I then replied the same day via the same text:

"Hello Jeremi,

Thank you for reaching out; I am still interested in the role and available for the interview process and look forward to working with you on any next steps.

Best Regards,

*** *******"

Then today (1/30/2024), I received a text from Micheal (sic) who said:

"Hello, My name is Micheal contacting you in regards to your resume approved for the Customer Service/Data Entry Clerk position. Kindly fill out this form through the link below. https://form.jotform.com/240287104565556 Once you complete the filling of the form, You are required to contact the HR on Microsoft Teams. Download the app from your Google play/App Store. Add the HR manager using his Email Address ([email protected]) and send a message to him for the interview process. Your interview code is AB20."

The link takes me to an Identity Verification Form that says "This form is used to verify the identification of an individual while issuing important documents." There are 11 pages total. They are:

First page asks for Full Name.

Second page asks for Permanent Address.

Third page asks for Current Address.

Fourth page asks for Phone Number.

Fifth page asks for Email.

Sixth page asks for Work Authorization.

Seventh page asks for Earliest Available date to start.

Eighth page asks for Identification proof provided/Type of ID.

Ninth page asks for ID Card Upload Front and Back of ID.

Tenth page asks for Type a question.

Eleventh page asks for SSN.

It was then I realized this was a scam, so I wrote back to Micheal (sic) with the text:

"Hello Micheal,

First of all, I'm sure your name is supposed to Michael, and I won't be proceeding with this process since it's asking for my SSN. As such, I'll be reporting this company to the ScamPulse.com and will blocks this number."

Thank you everyone at ScamPulse.com for tracking these fraudsters, and I hope you all have a great day!

The individual that called me conducted an interview and asked me some questions. Shortly after the questions he asked me for my middle name because he already has my resume with all my information. Then he asked me for the last 4 of my social security. At this time I hung up the phone. I have had a few interviews and no one has ever asked me for any part of my social security. The thing that bothers me is that this seemed like a legit site and job.

She conned me when she met me at my previous workplace, hotel, promising to double my money. I have all the emails/texts and

documents.

The following is similar information:

Carmen ******** ****** is a person of interest who allegedly operates multiple

business projects in the Chicago area, Florida and Puerto Rico (as her primary locations). It is purported that ****** often appears as

a wealthy entrepreneur/investor, with supposed interests in major condominium development projects in Florida. It is further

purported that ****** has other business holdings in the United States and Puerto Rico, which include gold bonds. She claims to

represent the Taino Consortium Corporation, an investment firm in Hialeah, Florida. Among her alleged victims is an Illinois man,

Peter Nichols, who claims that ****** duped him out of $6,500.00. “She [******] has promised some of her investors various returns

that eventually proved to be impossible,” said Nichols. “She has made promises of huge guaranteed investment returns along with

promises of cash grants of $100,000 in a Shark-Tank fashioned presentation to obviously lure victims/investors.” Nichols also stated

that he regretfully cultivated an investor for ****** from the Niles, Illinois, area prior to realizing that ****** was an alleged con artist.

American News Post is seeking any and all information on Carmen ******** ****** and Taino Consortium Corporation.

I had gone to work for this company on September 3rd and I worked for them until October 15. I worked for them 14 hour days sometimes 15 hours for that length of time some weeks I would work 6 days a week. Jackie Baker has not paid me. Jackie will not and has not contacted me to keep me updated about my funds that he owed me for labor performed. Since my last conversation with him 3 weeks ago, Jackie has said that he has not received any payments from any of his jobs and after I hung up the phone with him, he blocked me from all means of communication so I cannot inquire about my money that he owes me. Jackie continues to go on with no contact with me and I can still not inquire the money the company owes me. This is a scam for money owed and services rendered. The date is now December 10,2023 and I still have not received payment for work that was performed from September 3,2023 to October 15, 2023.

I applied for a job on LinkedIn.com with St. Charles Healthcare for a General Surgery Scheduler position. I received a confirmation text to set up an interview from the phone number +1(412) 932-5632. The interview was to be conducted through Skype. I was offered a position and received the Offer Letter from this email: [email protected]. I was told to email a copy of my Drivers License to that same email. I was then told that I would receive instructions on how to receive payment to purchase my workstation equipment. The instructions were emailed from: [email protected]. I made the deposit and sent the confirmation to the email as instructed. After depositing the check, my bank advised that the funds would be deposited on 12/8/23. Today, 12/6/23, I received an email from: [email protected] stating that my bank account has been restricted due to recent activity. There was a number provided to call with any questions. I called and reached a voicemail box set up as CapitalOne and was instructed to provide my name, phone number, and account number. I checked my banking app and noticed that the check that I was given to deposit was reversed. I called the CapitalOne phone number from my banking app to report the suspicion. I provided them with all of the information I had. Unfortunately I was told that my bank account would be closed and that I would not be able to open another account in the future due to the situation posing a risk to the bank.

Scammer stated IP address security was compromised and the Hulu account would not unlock unless the issues were cleared up by the security team. The security team would cost $250 for their work. Payment was required by a GooglePlay gift card from one of the big box stores (Walmart, Target, etc.). Scammer wanted a photo of the card with number information sent via text message to number (530)296-0770.

I applied for this remote position through LinkedIn on 8-10-23. I received an email from someone posing as the owner on 8-12-23 asking for a cover letter and my salary requirements. I provided these details On 8-15-23 I received an email stating that they had filled the position I applied for however, they still wanted me for a position opening in October of 2023. In the meantime, they offered me an Executive Virtual Assistant job because as the owner they were busy and about to leave for a trip to Canada within the week. I expressed my interest and waited for the scheduled interview. I received the next email on 8-17-23 saying that they had no time for an interview at this time due to the trip they had previously mentioned when offering the EVA role. Along with this email they provided a list of canned interview questions. The scammer also mentioned that an employment agreement was being drafted which is what prompted me to call the actual business. While the email correspondence was going on I verified the email address ([email protected]) the scammer used which did not directly match the website domain the actual owner has set up for their business. The email address was also hosted by another company from the actual business website. I also reviewed the phone number (630-492-0751) the scammer used and found it to be a VOIP number based out of Chicago, the actual business is outside of San Antonio, TX.

8-17-23: After calling the actual business number on their site I was sent to voicemail and that had a message stating that the job offer was a scam.
