I was contacted from this # Raquel. This is for sure a scam! I called the number and it goes straight to voicemail. I texted them to send me info to my email to see if theyre legit. Shes been ignoring me since then
Please know this is a Scam. Dont let them tell you they are going to be sending you a check because everything about them is false. Ask for the company details and ask them yourself. If they refuse then obviously theyre lying. Just be aware
210-469-4233

Same almost exact text verbiage and scenario. I emailed the Real Umicore HR dept and am awaiting their response but I am sure this is a scam as well. I am not sure what type of scam but it may just be a money-laundering operation. to wash cash through personal accounts. they don't seem to be after my money.

They send you a check then tell you where to spend the cash and effectively wash that money and never send you the products... Who knows, ir could be an FBI honeypot operation, it's stupid enough to be the Feds lol!

They get you to take the 100 dollars "sign-on bonus so they are sure to be able to charge you with a crime! REPUBLICANS BEWARE!

It's far too much work to be an effective money-laundering system so I am sure it's some kind of entrapment... Its just too stupid to be actual criminals...

I was contacted today, 5/3/2022, by text message from "Leslie Heather" (must be a fake) from phone number (210) 469-4233, for an online interview. After a quick search over the internet, I found several scam reports from the same phone number/company. I immediately blocked the number. I guess that the original company, "Umicore", is not aware that this scammer is using their name...

I was contacted via text in regards to my resume on Monster.com. I was told to join a skype or teams meeting. When they sent the interviewer's email it was [email protected]. I did a google search and came across this, so I am sure this is a scam. I declined the interview.

Was text that my resume was located via monster and that I was to report via Skype for an interview. After I was told that I was accepted to the job, they said they would send a check to me to purchase office materials and software. I asked why they wouldn't send the equipment with the software already added to the computer(I've worked from home before, this is what a legitimate company would do), and they did not respond. I told them I was rescinding my acceptance and to no contact me again. I then report them to Skype, as it's both a scam and they were impersonating a legitimate company.

Contacted via text to set up job interview with Umicore via Skype. Red flags are too good to be true, gmail account, check sent to you to buy software rather than company provided software, and using text online interview rather than phone or video to hire in an extremely short one call close interview. No one sends you a check prior to being hired and they seem to have an affiliation with USAA or Wells Fargo. Also, a signing bonus? Conversation from them is like this:

I'm getting the same scam from a "recruiter - HR Manager" of Umicore with almost the exact same paragraphs that copied and pasted from previous scams, They don't seem to have a good memory and tried to scam me twice in the same week paying different hourly pay rates. And sometimes different payrates in the same conversation.

The first time they contacted me by text message to my phone number to set up interview by Microsoft Teams and next time by phone text messaging, but the content was very similar from these scammers phone numbers:
(210) 469-4233
‪(502) 617-3935‬

Zipcode 89147
I was contacted as will with a similar request offering me a list of jobs to choose from a payrate of $46.97 per hour for the title job Project Manager. With training for $20.00 per hour. A check from Umicore for $3,900.00. I deposited the check and I also told my bank it was from one of my job searches. The company hired me. The check was for the purchase of a MAC Pro and five software's needed to do the job. I did also ask my bank if this check is no good would my account be in trouble and they stated no. It would be returned.

Was contacted via text claiming to be umicore offering me a job. Joined a hangouts session where a Mr ***** offered me a great wage, working from home until April wanted to send me a check via email to cash and buy a MacBook and some software with and keep 50 for myself. The check is a cashier check, the email address is Gmail, not a company email. They claim, once cashed, they will send me a list of their vendors to purchase the MacBook from.

- Des Moines, IA, USA

I was first contacted via text indicating that my information had been obtained from the Iowa Workforce Development Database. They instructed me to set up a Google Hangouts Session if I wanted to learn more about a Data Entry/Administrative Assistant work from home job that paid $30/hr. I initiated a Google Hangouts session with the "recruiter" who asked me a variety of questions. I was then sent an employment offer letter and a confidentiality agreement, which I signed and returned. I was then assigned a "supervisor" on Google Hangouts who I connected with. I was assigned two assessments that consisted of some basic internet research and an accounting exercise, both of which I submitted. I then received via email a check for $2250 from USAA with instructions for depositing. When I questioned why the check was coming from USAA and not Umicore and that I was uncomfortable depositing a check before I was officially a Umicore employee, I stopped receiving communication from my "supervisor". I have additional documents that I can provide.
