My daughter is looking for work and using LinkedIn. She received an email from what originally looked like a legit person for a job that is posted on the company's website and LinkedIn. She received an offer without having an actual interview which is obviously not normal and the email said they were going to send her a check so she can buy the equipment she needs to set up her office. The only info she provided them was her full name and address which are both publicly available.

Scammer's phone: (567) 485-3462 (initial as Mrs. Angela Miller) then +1 567-485-2389 as Cristina Sanders through app Signal Messgener
Scammer's website: INDEED & SIGNAL MESSENGER
Country: United States
Victim Location: Yuma, AZ
Type of a scam: Employment

“Angela” reached out for an employment opportunity but was quick to send me off to download a private messaging app for “interviewing”. When downloading the app “Cristina” reached out and the way the messages were typed was the biggest red flag and the fact that it was a private messaging app. Once I called them out no responses!

A text message was sent to me after I applied on linked in for a job, shortly after that the scammer asked for my resume. A few days after that an offer letter was sent and something just did not seem right so I started doing research and found many other people with the same situation. Instead of sending me equipment, a check was offered to be sent.

Random number texted about job opportunity, initially seemed fine but red flags kept popping up. Got to point in hiring process where they were going to "send a check" for office supplies

My experience was exactly as the previous report just with a different name of the hiring manager Lauren Stephens, ph number was identical. I did not get as far in the process, just completed the assessment link. I felt a rush from HR to hire someone they did not even mean over the Zoom interview or did a background check. HR texting and sending a check for equipment to someone they do not know is highly unlikely to be a practice of a legit company.

I was contacted first via text and told to download telegram to speak with a Johan Beyer. We performed a mock interview for a data entry/admin job. Said they provided equipment and programs for the job. Stated they would send me a check to get the items . Then asked for personal info for employee records. All they got ahold of was name but that’s in the internet anyway. They say they pulled my resume off indeed but I’m a welder I don’t donoffice work. Kind of just went along with it to see what all they would ask for etc.

Was offered a job from NextCell Pharam AB via email they sent me an offer letter for a remote Data Entry position the company is / was based in Sweden and needed remote workers. They offer $30.75 a hour and full time and I interviewed via telegram for the job . They sent over code of conduct , offer letter , w-2 and I-9 . I sent my information back to accept the position This position was referred to me from another position I applied for here in San Diego for a company called Anchor Funding that was local . They first day was fine being that I conducted 2 hour training which only included an essay I was told that I would receive equipment for my position and be sent a check to purchase the items I needed . On June 23 , after the check was deposited I was told to use the 2500 to buy gift cards so my supervisor can sent the information to accounting to buy my equipment I later thought ok well it’s so they won’t have my card information so I got gift cards and sent her them I later told my spouse this seems strange and a hassle just for a job and equipment so I stop contacting the lady and immediately reported the fraud to the FBI and later today called my bank . After conducting research I realized I am a victim of job scam and had to get the funds disputed

Received an email from a woman named Kathy Vingino from a company named Nu World Graphics LLC. "There is a current job opening in one of our affiliated firms, RAINDROP, as a Content Editor and they are making an urgent hire for the position. Your resume was gotten via candidate search on Indeed, LinkedIn and Ziprecruiter. If interested contact the Hiring Manager Scott Musser via email [email protected] for more information on the position and the company. " I reached out to Scott and his email response was the following: "I’d be happy to set up an online screening interview introduced by Better Business Bureau via Microsoft Teams on your Phone or Computer. Are you available to schedule your interview process on Wednesday 11:15am ET? If yes, kindly download Microsoft Teams on your phone or computer from your App Store or Google Store, then set up an account with your email to schedule your interview process. Notify me when you are done setting up your account."

I spoke to "Scott" 3 days in a row, filled out forms full of personal information, and was asked to make a purchase of $1755 using my own money after a check they sent me did not go through.

I was connected on line via text about a job offered. I really really need the job! I was extremely happy because things are really bad. I asked why not do it virtually and he told because they high volume of candidates they’re doing texts on Teams that took place. However, we had a an interview and the job was given as a Clerical Administrator, I will have benefits like vacation pay, dental vision insurance, paid hourly 45 per hours 40 hrs per week. And she told me they will have someone trained me for three days I’m person and they will provide me with materials and tools for work. She told me that she will send a checks to buy the materials at Staples Store , and I asked her why would you send me a check instead of buying the stuff and send it to me and not send the check. She said that because it is so much people to deal with and they want to get the materials out so candidates can start working and it more easier. Anyways she already send the check to be pick up the next day. The next day the check is at my door in the morning and yes at the beginning of the conversation and interview she asked me for my address, email address and name only nothing else , and so that’s why she/ he could send the check. I thought the check was to go to the staples store but then when getting the check he/she told me to deposit in my account because it’s not a cash check. I had told her/him no and then I deposited the check because he do not have my bank account not my ssn etc and because I really needed the job I deposited it foolishly. I told my cousin and she told me it’s a scam that’s what they’re doing to people looking job. Omg!! So I contacted the bank and left voice messages (3) three times but nobody did call me about it so not I’m went online just to reach out to you guys. And please do something for me to stop this , I do not interested in this money. I blocked her/him from my phone on Teams where he reached out to me. This check will not be available until June 23,2023 . After I deposited the check he asked me to zellle 750 to a person and I told him no and why I would deposit 750 from my account and you send a check and that’s another thing that triggered me and I cussing him that he’s a scammer and a liar and that’s what you did to people like me looking job and block him/her. I do not know what can you do for me but I do not want that money nor interested. Please help me I do not want to lose my account with Capital One. This check comes from Glendale Area Schools, Credit Union. Check of $3,750

I hope this will help someone out there

Thank you

After performing an interview and telling me that I was hired, I was told that a check and laptop would be sent out me in a week or two to purchase some equipment that is needed for work office. Then the conversation continued on for the rest of the week and the scammer finally asked for my credit card information and I said I wasn't suppose to give my personal information to anyone. He went on to say that it was for filing purposes for upgrading software that was needed for the job and for bonuses from the job. I asked if he was a scammer and he replied, no. I asked for the company information and told him that I would have him checked out. Of course, he continued on with the same lie. I finally, closed my chat with him from the Microsoft teams app and notified my credit card account to send me a new card and close the recent one I used. I told them my card information was compromised and that someone had been adding money to my account. They didn't inform me that they would be sending money back to the scammer. Now my account is over withdrawn with negative balance of $434.14. The scammer was paid $309.14.

They sent me a sms about the position and asked to send an email about scheduling an interview. It is already fishy, no legit company does that. There is a dash in the email address. The company name is legit but based in Australia, I never applied there. After sending email, Amber McClary (from the same email id) instructed me to download the wire app, gave the username of the hiring manager Mrs. Holland @hollanddesk to send a message over wire to schedule an interview. At this point I am laughing, hiring manager indeed. And of course no one named Amber McClary exists in LinkedIn who is a recruiter. I asked them to share the job posting. She replied the job is with TNL Community Fund. to stop scamming.

Melanie Yarbrough posted a data entry position on Facebook ($25/hour, 15 hours/week); she asked me to download an app called BiP to communicate with the “hiring director” of Alteryx, named Bethany. It was odd they only wanted to message and not have a voice or video call. Melanie asked for my phone number to connect me with the “hiring manager.” If I had filled out their paperwork with SSN, they could have stolen my identity. And online it says there is an employment scam where they give a fake check and then ask you to return money when they “overpay” you.

Contacted me about a company calistatheraputics.net from a mrs. Robinson and they had me fill out online interview questions. Told me I got the job next day and they are urgently hiring. They sent over a fully typed hiring agreement and on it they said they needed to send me a check for my work from home materials.
Offered me a job with no interview

They tried to scam me by sending a cashier's check that was supposed to be used for work materials (computer, softwares, etc). I believe it was jobcase.com where I was looking for new employment. They communicated via email with job offer letter from [email protected]. They used a phone number to send text communications 567-485-3462. The Skype ID used for the person that was contacting me by Skype messaging was live:.cid.5fa2d686e59fb2f8 Yolanda Small. Another person representing them sent me an email saying that I was chosen as a candidate. They were trying to so the same thing the Yolanda person tried to do. This email dated today 6/2/23 with timestamp 11:46am came from [email protected] & they tagged a stranger [email protected]. They sent exact instructions as previous scam, but they're using another person's name & skype id. Meghan Rivera Skype messaging live:.cid.86dcaab53506d9ac. They used the excuse that they're from New Zealand & that's why they're using Skype. I'm attaching an image of the FedEx envelope that contained the fraudulent check.

Thank you for posting, when I googled this number (567-485-3462) I got this website. My story is very similar; I had a skype interview and offered the job an hour later. Got offer letter the next day with start day of Aug. 14, 2023. Something didn't sit right with me, couldn't find those names on social media or the website. Brilliance Steel out of New Zealand who is actively building in Memphis TN. Nothing wrong with being skeptical scammers. :(
