I’ve been applying for other jobs through indeed and came upon a job application for the company brenntag pacific inc. for a customer service manager position. I was contacted by Mark Andriate via text message from number +1(202)967-3478 saying “ My Name is Mark Andriate. I work as a Human resources Manager with Brenntag Pacific Inc.We sent you an email regarding an interview that was conducted by 8am Pacific time Last week Monday and Wednesday. This is a follow up,I am texting because you did not reply to the email or try to reschedule. I'd like to know if you are still interested in this position” I agreed to an interview he then sent an email with a link to “wire secure messenger” and to download app on phone and instructions on how to add him to do a interview. The interview was through the website via chat - gave an introduction about the job and then proceeded to ask interview questions and I responded. After the interview questions Mark then said he was going to send the questions/responses to his higher up and get back to me to stay online. So I did, then I got the job offer on the spot. Everything seemed legit at first because I looked up the website for Brenntag, I looked up Marks name on google (his LinkedIn profile showed up and other websites and he appeared to be HR manager), and I did other research to check for any red flag. I received a welcome email and then vía the app Mark sent a brief explanation of job benefits, explaining the training process etc., then he said a check will be sent via email for equipment purchases and instructions on how to print it and when done to send a screenshot of the verification deposit. Mark stated once check is deposit he will provide further instructions for what to do with the money.

Prior to that he asked about deposit limit, bank questions related, and asked for credentials (which that was a red flag and I started to question things) I still went on to deposit the check with the help of Mark. I called my bank immediately and asked for more security and explain the situation. I kept this to myself and Mark then said to check back in via app next following day at 8am my time.

I called my bank early that morning and said I was to go to the branch to get more information on the deposit check. That morning Mark asked to view my deposit however, my bank had put a restriction and I wasn’t able to access that. Since I wasn’t able to go to the bank right at that moment Mark vía the app had proceeded to ask for more information and I quote,

“we will have to set up an account for you with the California Employment Development Department. We currently have an affiliation with them. The account will be used to complete and authorize your employee profile and account. We will have to create an account for you using our affiliation number and ticket.

Please provide the following information.

Date of birth

Ssn

Front and back copy of your driver’s license or state ID card.

All these are needed to conduct a soft credit check which will not affect your credit score.”

I didn’t send any of that information since I didn’t feel secure and I told him I will do so later that I was busy with work. I went to my bank and they told me that the check was a “counterfeit check” and I explained to what had happen a manger had to get involved and I had my account shut down and had to get a whole different account.

I told Mark I was no longer interested in the position due to the counterfeit check and the lack of integrity. He then said that’s not right all my team was able to successful do it. I got the offer letter sent which looks legit but bc of the check I decline and want nothing to do with these people and their scams. Luckily I didn’t get out any ssn, I’D or further information. I screen recorded the whole interaction and have screenshots of emails. Please be safe this can happen to anyone doesn’t matter age, gender, or race.

If this can help anybody please listen to your gut and if you are able to get some type of digital secure to check for your information to see if it’s secure please do so!!!
