Hi x, notice from the recruitment department that you need a job. Now I would like to introduce this work process to you. Do you have time???
Hi, do you remember that you applied for an online job at this recruitment company? If you are very busy, I can send you the work content and details directly. You can read my message and reply to me when you are free. Do you think this is okay?
Hey x nice to meet you, my name is Lisa and I'm your instructor for the entire workflow??
Thank you for taking your time, it is very simple and you can easily learn it in 30 minutes.
Have you heard of Expedia?
Expedia Group is an online travel company that provides travel products and services to leisure and corporate travelers, offline travel agencies, online retailers, corporate travel management, and financial institutions. The company was founded in 1994 and is headquartered in Seattle, Washington. Our primary focus is to enhance the travel experience by traveling around the world by interacting with tour guides and forums to attract more customers, thus generating more profit while we earn a salary!
No matter where you are in this job, as long as you have a mobile phone or a computer, you can start your money-making journey. The time is arranged by you, and it will not affect your full-time work time, so you don't need to worry about it???
So far so good?
Okay, now I am going to continue and let you know the process??
All we need to do is click on the platform to submit a booking, and with each submission, the system will generate consumption data that will enhance the star rating and scoring standards of the tour's respective markets, which will attract more tour guides and tourists to them, which will generate profits, and we will get paid in return!
The company will provide us with a free work platform and registration is completely free. The system will send 38 tasks (1 set) to promote our work, 1.0x pay for every single promotion, average daily income: $200-$300
Is there anything you don’t understand about the above explanation? you can ask me??
As shown in the picture above, will you choose the Destination A or Destination B? Most of the online shoppers will prefer to the AVENUE with greater reviews right? We only need to boost the reviews of Destination B . In return the merchant will give us revenue through the platform.
(In the picture its just 2 location one rated higher with more reviews than the other)
If you complete the job every day for 7 consecutive days, you will also receive an additional $500 per week. For one month of continuous work, you will receive an additional $2,600 in basic pay
Up till here Is everything clear ? i hope im not explaining too fast ,if you have any uncertainty do let me know so i can explain to you better??
I will send you the link to the platform and you will register a work account , sound good ?
Now you can click on this platform link to register an account of your own, upon successful registration, the platform will give you $20, as there are only a limited position for the job available, so remember to let me know once you have registered and I will familiarize you with the whole process

At this point i searched the website on safewebtalk.com
and it seems the domain was created 4 days ago.
So I am assuming this is some type of fraud.
Employment Scam Continues
They "interviewed " me via Telegram and had the balls to call via Telegram, but you cannot call the number back. Shocker.
When you ask if they are a scam they ask what I am insinuating and say if you're no longer interested in the job just say so.
Should I keep this messaging going or is it a waste of my time. Im trying to get as much information out of them as I can, yet again it is a scam so probably not worth my time?
Also, the email they mailed the "check" from is a Gmail address. Let me know your thoughts.

Stated wanted my banking info (for salary purposes). I asked why we were not using video chat to conduct the interview. He/she said they do not... i asked how to verify legitimately of business. No response.
Scammers Suck
Then today I got an email (See attachment 1) I had the "interview with Larry Williams (Now looking at this profile picture I believe it to be a side shot of another picture someone posted on here. He did the 'interview" as an IM as well. He asked the following questions...
FIRST SECTION !
( 1 ) What type of jobs have you had?
( 2 ) How did you get your previous jobs?
( 3 ) What were your main responsibilities Achievements?
( 4 ) have you been in the military before?
( 5 ) Are you currently employed?
( 6 ) Are you willing to work flexible or long hours?
( 7 ) Do you have a PC, Printer and a Scanner ?
( 8 ) Are you seeking employment in a company of a certain size?
( 9 ) What phone carrier are you with ?
( 10 ) How do you describe your work ethics?
(11) Have you file tax return 2022 ?
( 12 ) How long do you intend working for The Wellness Way ?
( 13 ) Tell Us why you feel you are the right person for this Job ?
PAYROLL & WORKING SCHEDULE:
1. How many hours are you willing to Work per day? (4hr Minimum per day or 40hrs Maximum per week)
2. What time range?
3. When would you be available to start if HIRED?
4 Payroll Interval? (Weekly or Bi-weekly)
5. Payroll Method (Direct deposit / Wire Transfer)
6. What is the name of the Banks which you currently operate with so as to see if it tallies financially with the company's official salary payment account ?
Once the interview was completed I was emailed this offer letter (see attached) and noticed a lot of grammar issues and capitulation where it was not needed.
Larry is getting upset it is taking me so long to "go over the contract" and wants me to finish it and sign it and return it by today.

1- no picture , no video
2- job seems too good to be true with great Positions
3- asking odd questions no interview should ask unless you are confirmed for that position. Especially first conversation!
Expedia Hiring Manager
I can't find the hiring manager's name: PHILLIP ANDERSON anywhere connected to Expedia Group.
This is a two day interaction with elaborate information and a very believable hiring process.
I honestly am unsure what to think still.

Expedia Group Scam
I went ahead and emailed "Jeff" and he sent me the an email asking for a written interview (a little weird but I'm new to the job hunt so I figured it's a first interview type thing). I filled it out and emailed it back and then barely an hour later I got an email saying I got the job and had just a bunch of stuff about it. But the part about payment and purchasing tech became the final red flag and I came to see if the scam was true.
I knew getting a job offer from Expedia group at my experience level was too good to be true but man what an awful scam to pull. Screenshots of that final email from Jeff and first email from Kylene attached.
LOL @ Expedia Group
* The job listing has since closed.
* A LinkedIn search has no result for a Kylene Bell from Expedia Group.
* Jeff Hurst has a much loftier title in the C-suite as Chief Operating Officer rather than just a recruiter.
* The email for Jeff Hurst was a Gmail address — “[email protected]”.
* Punctuations were misplaced in a message that goes “something something ASAP something ASAP ... ASAP.”
I ultimately reported the message as phishing.
Check Fraud Claiming to be Expedia Group
The tell you to order your supplies to work from home with the money that you deposit into your bank account. Next they'll ask you if you have a Cash App account. So, you could send the money to someone that handles their product purchases.
I asked for a phone number of the company and they couldn't even do that.
They'll chat with you via Skype, Microsoft Teams, Zoom or anywhere that doesn't require them to show their face to you.
Yup. Me too.
Except Jeff and his buddy Clark Ryne share the same email: [email protected].
I should have initially realized this was a scam because not one email was *@expediagroup.com. Only thinking about it after the fact, doing some Googling, finding this page did the lights turn on. I hope they send me a check. I'll take good care of it.

Same scam
I cannot stress enough how vile and mean this type of scam is and the real damage that it causes. Earlier this summer, I 'lost' $15,000 on two freelance 'clients' who were floating similar check scams. I checked with the banks to verify and both were fraudulent. Last year, I lost several thousand from a sale of furniture I'd posted on Craigslist. All the same: promise of a check, arrival by express, instructions to forward a percentage of the funds to a third party contractor, producer, mover, etc. Last year I lost money. This year I was more cautious, but I lost income for the time I'd promised to the client. Those experiences left me financially weaker. The whole scenario is outrageous. Villians preying on hopeful professionals.
The scam continues!
