This request to make purchases seemed suspicious, so I did some research and found this statement on the company's website (https://www.omega-surveying.com/contact/):

"Recently one of our accounts was hacked leading to a series of fraudulent messages having been sent with various offers of employment. The most common of these claim to be from “A. Kann” and make reference to a false email “[email protected]”. If you received one of these messages then we apologize for the misinformation caused by this hack. We appreciate those that have brought it to our attention. Please do not feel obligated to further report this matter as we are already working to remedy the situation."

I played along one more time to see what he would say next. I received this request for my bank info today,

"Hello,

Thanks for confirming. I am going to prepare you for orientation, making sure your necessary materials are available before I hand them over to Bob Adams, who will put a call through to schedule a good timing for orientation after you have secured your required materials for orientation. Orientation will be via Zoom, which will be set up on the new MacBook you are buying with the funds the management is sending you.

I will contact the accounting department on your behalf so that payment to secure your necessary materials can be issued. Please send the name in which the check should be printed and other pieces of information below.

Full Name

I have not responded.

They requested a time to do an interview and provided an interview code. They proceeded to ask normal interview questions and then requested that you follow up the next morning for a job update. They then proceed to provide a check via email and want you to deposit to buy equipment through their vendor.

Reached out to me after I applied for a position on LinkedIn. Said my resume had been shortlisted and he wanted me to answer questions. Questions answered, he wanted me to send me a check and deposit it and then donate some to charities. He said the original position was filled but there another position available as a virtual assistant. Letting me know it can progress into full time, I didn't think much of it until he asked me to deposit a check for him after he sends it to me. I gave him my address and such but then looked up the scam on ScamPulse.com and then I found similar scam tactics made by the same phone number.

They reached out over email with a really generic message, then said I needed to contact them through the Signal app for an interview. Had a lot of grammatical and wording errors. Currently are telling me they are sending a check to get equipment for my home office but I know it is a scam.

The scammer posted a job opening at indeed, I applied and I received an email the day after stating that I am shortlisted for the job and they want to know more about myself and told me to send my resume. I sent all the requirements and the day after they told me that I was hired and in order for me to start I need to setup a mini office in my house since it's a work from home. They told me that they will sent a check for me to purchase the needed items. After they told me that I was suprised since it's odd that they'll give me a check for that. I searched thru internet and found out that this is a type of scam. They got my phone number, address, and copy of my US Passport.

I was contacted about a potential job offer through email and redirected to an “HR hiring representative” whom I was to contact through the email [email protected]. After being sent a fake employment offer letter to sign and email back I was sent a fake check for $4,955 to “purchase materials” such as a laptop, printer, desk, etc. in the mail. After speaking with a bank teller at my credit union, we decided it was best to wait 5 business days to see if the check bounces. The scammer wanted me to send them a picture of the check deposit receipt which I declined to do. Once I told the scammer I would not be continuing any further until the check posts they completely dropped contact with me.

Contacted about a job data entry job. Went through all of the information, was sent an employment letter. They said that software was needed so they sent a check. I asked the bank to verify the check before hand. That's when it was confirmed to be a scam

They reached out to me about a prospective job offer. After doing an interview over Zoom chat, they sent me a check to purchase equipment. I kept asking several questions and asking to speak to them over the phone and they ignored all of my requests. The check turned out to be fake and they even used a fake address, number, and email on the mail.

I was emailed by a gentleman that said that I had been selected to be a part of the development team. He got my license, and then he wanted me to download a bogus online check. They are a MAJOR SCAM. I am reporting this to help people that apply to work with them on LinkedIn.

Offered me a job at $40 per hour without any interview. Offered to pay for computer equipment for the job and that they would send me a check. Company has no valid address, no live person to talk with and no phone call for any interview. I stopped giving them information before getting to the point of giving ssn or banking info.

I was contacted by text message to my cell phone by Helen Thompson.They asked me to download telegram messenger and wait for the hiring manager, Michael Freeman, to tell me what to do.

They asked to confirm my name, address, and phone number and immediately asked where I bank. I told them I'll give them bank info if I'm hired. He continued the texting interview and told me to come back to telegram messenger in the morning for results of my interview. This morning I found out I was hired. But they wanted to send me a check to deposit and pay THEIR vendor for job supplies. I decided it didn't sound quite right and told him I would have to pass on his job offer. All he replied was, "ok".

Received a text from Josh Taylor 619-489-3126 1/15/2023 said he was from Niche Group Builders Group CA said he saw my resume on CALJOBS asking if I was interested in a work at home Data Entry job. I checked on the ScamPulse.com website and the company had an "A" rating. I replied yes and sent my preferred email address for an interview on 1/16/2023 9:00am with their hr person Dalia Zeydan via Skype. After the interview I was sent a job details email and a job offer. I signed it and sent it back. I was advised that the training would be 9am-12:00pm for 2 weeks. On 1/18/2023 and 1/19/2023 I signed on and did some training tasks. On 1/19/2023 "Dalia" said that she was sending me a check overnight UPS to cover the cost of the supplies I would need to work from home and for my first weeks' pay. I was instructed to deposit the check and to send her a copy of the deposit slip immediately afterwards. I wrote her back and said that didn't sound right and requested she only send a cashier's check. Dalia did not reply to my email. Today 1/2023, I received the UPS envelope with the check and again an email instruction to deposit the check, take out my pay and send a copy of the deposit slip to her immediately. I did not deposit the check and did not reply to Dalia. Check company name: BELCO OIL & GAS CORPORATION 4th FLOOR - NEW YORK NY 10153.

Searched me out after putting my a resume online. I then had a Skype messaging interview. Then told me I was hired. Emailed me a check that I deposited to then purchase a computer and necessary software to via my Apple Pay account (from funds that I transferred from banking account) to pay a third party (which I later found out from my bank that it is impossible and when the bank goes to collect the funds from the company that issued the check and it’s not there they will reverse the deposit-this can take more than 24 hours of initial deposit). After this, but before contacting my bank, the situation and what was being asked didn’t feel right. The person started to become very impatient and rude. I looked up scams for online hiring and that’s when I looked up bbb.org. I found out what I needed to know blocked the contact on Skype changed my security on online banking.

I had gotten an email from a person named Inna Andreeva saying that I was considered a new hire for Pipette/ Accutek Lab as a video editor. I accepted but from there on, I noticed some red flags. Her grammar was slightly off, as a Human Resources employee, she never had a phone number to get in contact with in her signature. Then upon further communication moving forward, she stated that the company was going to send me office equipment to set up a home office AS WELL as a check to deposit and purchase equipment. That did not sit well with me so I paused and refused to send my drivers license info that they requested along with a signed offer letter

They will send you a check to deposit into your account. Then the check is fraud and you will lose your account and money.
