I initially received an email about my resume being found on a job website and offered me a job as a shop inspector or mystery shopper. I said I was interested in the job and got a call asking simple questions including if I had been employed before. After the call, I got another email with a contract I had to fill out and send back and that I had two days to comply or else they wouldn't hire me as an employee. They called each job a "task" and said before I would be payed I had to complete a test task. The test task was to visit a Bitcoin ATM and check to see if it worked, what condition the machine was in, and if there were instructions on how to use it. I sent back my report on the machine and was told that I would start work the next day. The first job was to receive $1455 to my bank account and cash out $1380 of it, put that money into the Bitcion machine I visited the day before, and fill out another report form. The remaining $75 was to be my commission for completing the task. I did what they asked, sent in my report, and waited to hear about what task I would be doing next. They sent me a job to go to another Bitcoin ATM and do the same thing there. I told them that I would not cash out over $1000 twice in one day and they said they would send me the $1000 and cash out $920 for the remaining $80 was to be my commission. There was an error with the money transfer to my bank account and alerted them of the problem and was told they would fix it. I didn't hear from them until the next day and was told to send them my bank card number to complete the money transfer. I replied that I was not sending them my card number as the account number should be more than enough. They insisted they needed it as the task was to be completed that day. I asked to be sent another task to do and was denied as the other task had been given to someone else and that I would have more tasks the next day. They never contacted me again. I sent them emails for a couple days asking if there were any jobs to do. Still no reply. I then looked up to see if this was a regular thing and turned out it wasn't and that they were trying to scam me. Thankfully the funds that had been sent to me were by Interac e-transfer and they could not void the money that was given to me which was what I was most worried about as I would've had to pay back the bank all the money I had received.

Recruits you to be a shop inspector. Phone interview then they send a contract for you to sign. They email you a test assignment, then once completed they ask for your Bank name and card number and interact e-transfer account.

This company reached out to me and offered me a position as a Mystery Shopper. The first task they asked me to perform was they asked me to deposit funds into a Bitcoin ATM. I tried calling the phone number on their website and the number was out of service. The person who called me from a toll free number, her name was Amanda Brown and I had difficulty understanding her because of her accent. Then when I questioned the validity of their company, she couldn't answer any of my questions. She kept asking me to talk to her manager John Harison. However, they do not work in the same office nor could she transfer me to speak to John. I'm not too sure what their intentions are but they are definitely not a legitimate company. Their website was copyrighted 2016 when the company claims they have been in business since 2008.

I have been searching employment and applying to lots of jobs. This company emailed me and said the Assistant position I applied for was unavailable, but I could apply to another opening with them. I never applied to this company, as I do not live in the US and have no intention of relocating there for work. I was interested in why they were emailing me, so I went along with it and sent them a copy of my resume.

The next day a lady with a thick accent called me and said "I have some questions to ask you." I said, before you ask me anything I have a quick question: I do not live in New York, does your company have an office here? She said we are opening one in Canada and I asked where in Canada. She said she was not allowed to tell me where, but it will be opening near my location and I said why can't you tell me. Then she said we will email you the location, now I have questions to ask you. I ended the conversation and said I know this is a scam, I'm not answering any of your questions, and I will be reporting you. I then hung up.

I am not sure what their intentions were because I hung up so early.

So they sent me an email about a job as Mystery Shopper and i directly felt like something fishy but i continued as i am really desperate for a job. But surely after enough time they asked to me transfer 100$ via Money Gram to a person in the Ukraine, quite the joke. I feel sorry for people that fall for this , they feed of peoples weaknesses and tough situations.
