Super quick interview process, then they have you download an app to talk to a reciruiter named Gracie Thompson. They request you get a bunch of computer stuff and they will send you a check and then you go buy all the stuff you need through their vendors. It’s a scam

I am writing to express a serious concern regarding a recent interaction I had in relation to a Data Clerk position at Optimus Healthcare which I applied for on 1/23/24 from a job posting on LinkedIn. On 1/23/24, I was contacted by a recruiter whom identified as Tom Hagen, who claimed to be a recruiter associated with Optimus Healthcare.

After diligently completing the application process, which involved submitting my necessary documents on what appeared to be Optimus Healthcare website, Mr. Hagen instructed me to undergo identity verification through ID.Me. While on ID.Me website, an alert arose during the verification process.

On 1/24/24, after multiple attempts to try to reach Human Resources at Optimus Healthcare, I finally received a call back from Human Resources department, revealing that there is no job opportunity for a Data Entry Clerk position. To my dismay, it appears that Tom Hagen is a scammer falsely representing Optimus Healthcare on LinkedIn and provided a website with Optimus Healthcare information.

I felt it necessary to bring this to your immediate attention for further investigation and action. If there is any additional information or steps you would like me to take, please advise.

I saw the Data Entry position posted on FB, and it looked liked a legit opportunity.

I got an uneasy feeling when they asked me to submit front and back of DL and social over teams, but Elizabeth Meador Orean presented a photo of her employee ID.

Something still didnt sit well with me so i looked her name up on LinkedIn and didnt find anything. When i googled her name I found the ScamPulse.com and several other scam reports.

Someone else contacted me pretending to be from HR of the company in New York. This person was trying to get me to fill out additonal identifying paperwork and was trying to get access to my FB page.

Scam!!

I was offered a freelancer job. i had to copy 30 pages and convert them to a pdf file. they offered $50 per page. they first used Facebook and then telegram to contact me. Telegram users (@Harris_Ann), (@standardfinc) and (@Account_Payable).

Well I finished the project and requested my payment as promised. they took all day to "process" the payment. Then they asked for a "1 time payment fee to authorize my the payment". I didnt buy it. never had to buy or pay for me to get paid. please be aware!

There was a face Book post that a friend of a friend was looking to hire, I gave my information and they wanted me deposit the two $850.00 checks into my account and wanted me to transfer money to one person and Cash app would only allow me to send $500.00.  The money is to be used to buy software.  The person they wanted me to send the money to on cash app Olga 1859 Fabrikina and the person who is claiming to be is Hunter Manner.  The interview process was weird and they asked me send a resume.  The only asked me for my name, address, email and send them a copy of my drivers' license.

Someone posted on a job board on Facebook for a data entry position hiring fully remote. They stated to DM them, I did, and they provided a Microsoft teams link and referral code. Someone conducted an "interview" but this was all over Team's Chat service. They started requesting my information as I had "passed" the assessment but when I saw the review above about another individual losing money, I didn't provide my personal info, but instead asked would I need to purchase anything before training. They stated things would be needed, but provided by the company other than an IPAD PRO so I stopped communications.

The company hires without an interview or phone interview.

Asked to do a "trial period" and asked me to use my personal bank account to secure payments for their customers, through a Bitcoin wallet.

A Facebook page called The WFH Guru has many admins claiming to have job connections. They tell people they have jobs waiting for them simply by paying these admins to take “assessments”. The money is asked for via messenger where the admins claim to have a link and “leads”. They throw big names around lien Conduent. Conduent verified that they do not know these people.

I received a text message regarding my resume that was posted on Career Builder and told to dowload Google Chat and to contact the hiring manager. I didnt get a response from him until the next day and the structure of his language was very bad and he asked questions that normally a job applicant would ask the employer (another flag) then the next day he sent this

The company has decided to give you a chance to work for the company. I hope you will be a great asset to the company and create a good career for yourself here as you are about to start working as an administrative/data entry clerk.

The company will send you a check for your working materials, which will be mailed to you today. You should have the check in your mailbox by tomorrow or the next day. I will provide you with the tracking number for the check when the accounting department sends me the FedEx or UPS tracking number.

When you receive the check, Head to your bank or ATM machine and have it deposited into your account; funds will be posted and made available later in the evening or in the morning. Also ask the teller about the availability of funds for confirmation, and email me with a scanned or screen shot of the deposit confirmation receipt with your account number hidden for record purposes.

When the funds are available for you to make the purchase for the working materials, you are required to make the payment from the private vendor recommended by the company. I will be available to instruct you on how to make the payment to the vendor when the funds are available. We have our reasons for this because the software and office equipment are specified by the company. The vendor will install the software programs on the Mac Book before mailing them to you to avoid installation errors and programming difficulties from you or any other party in the future, but we insist that this will help both you and the company to enable you to start your training as soon as possible when you receive the working materials.

After setting up your home office, you will meet the company representatives in person. You will sign your W-4 and benefit documents. You have the opportunity to ask more questions and learn more about the company.

The check will be mailed out today. You should receive the check within 24 to 48 hours. I will provide you with the tracking number for the check tomorrow morning when the payroll team sends me the Fedex or USPS tracking number for the check.

If there is any question you need to ask, please message me before we move forward.

We have had about 20 people call us since December to let us know that scammers are impersonating Prevent Blindness Texas and trying to hire them for a data entry work from home position, which we are not hiring for that position and no where is that position listed. We are hiring for other positions. These scammers are using Facebook and Facebook Messenger to contact people about this job and then interviewing them via Teams. They are then sending forms that request personal information, including bank information, for people to fill out.
