I was looking for jobs. The face book contact gave me a refrence ID on Microsoft teams. I assumed it was a real job. I gave them a picture of my ID and the information to one of my accounts before i realized i was being scammed.

Reached out to me regarding a job I applied for and asked me to email them at ascotengr. com

I’m using some of the original post I’m piggybacking off of but the exact same thing happened to me. The job opportunity was for a Data Entry Clerk (Work From Home) position for Starkey Lab Inc. that I saw on a local Facebook page. I responded to the ad through Facebook. I started contact to inquire about the job on August 14 and that I was interested in the position. I contacted Janet Raymond who made the original post. She told me to download Microsoft teams for the interview. She gave me Sally Doyle’s name and her email. I was to reach out to her through Microsoft Teams. I then proceeded to have a chat interview through Teams, and was told I was offered the position. I had to submit pictures of the front and back of my driver license as well as a picture of me holding the license. I also had to complete an incredibly basic application. She informed me that I would be sent an apple laptop and that they would provide the money for the software to my account for the software needed to work for them. The funds were supposed to be used to pay for a bunch of software that was needed for the position minus $200 that I was to keep myself for a sign on bonus. She said she would refer me to the vendor that I would purchase the software from. She then said she was going to connect the accountant to the chat to get my information. I told her he would have to call me and I didn’t feel comfortable continuing the conversation through messages. From this point I searched online and found the original post on ScamPulse.com about someone else being scammed. So i contacted Starkey Labs and was able to leave a message for someone in the HR department. I looked for available jobs on their website while i was waiting to hear back and found there were no positions like this available with them. He contacted me back (his name was *****) and informed me that they were aware of the scam and they have contacted platforms like Microsoft Teams about the scam in an effort to stop them since they are fraudulently using their company’s name in an attempt to scam people.

Offered job training at $10 Hourly and $25 after. Asked to purchase computer/Desk/Computer Program. and would be reimbursed.

She post's jobs on Facebook, we go to the interview.  We are hired.  We get hired we are paid the first week and then the second week we are given excuse as to why we are not being paid.  The post office is either holding the check.  The original name was Elite restoration services LLC which was revoked in 2018 under Corey Emmons.  Dana Emmons is Corey's mom and they both are both in on running this scam.  We were cleaning houses for BNB.  They are not licensed we were suppose to get paid by how many rooms we cleaned.  She has never paid anybody.  I have contacted the Labor Board of Arkansas and the Attorney General Office and they informed me to report to the BBB.  I did not work for very long.

Click the link and text the hiring manager you’re interested working from home job

I saw this job opportunity post on FB from DeNisha Brown. I don't know her but was interested in a part time job. She sent me the link and said I needed the Telegram application to begin the hiring process. I checked ScamPulse.com to see if Sunbelt Staffing LLC was listed but didn't see anything negative so I proceeded the hiring process. My communication was with Christopher Lee Wolfe who said he was a hiring manager. I provided my SSN and account info once I was told I qualified for the position. The terms and conditions required my Facebook account and password which I informed I didn't feel comfortable giving that info so then I was asked whether I had a credit card and what was the limit. I told him I was uncomfortable with this process and my full time government job doesn't require me to provide this information. He tried to assure me this was a standard process but I declined to continue. 2 days later I received a call from Discover credit card and a letter from American Express regarding an application I never applied for.

Been looking for work and this company approached on Skype for a data entry position and when the company wanted my bank and personal information on a text I felt it was a scam

I applied to a job posting on LinkedIn for an Administrative Assistant role with Stellar Solutions Media. It was within a day that an HR Consultant reached out to me saying I had been shortlisted for an interview with the hiring manager, Kenneth Lawson. They sent me a Teams link to join the chat. I noticed that the day the job posting was created, so was the company's LinkedIn profile. I could not find their official website though. I saw there was an address for their headquarters listed on the LinkedIn page so I tried looking it up on Google maps and it was for an empty for rent/lease shop. It is also suspicious how there are only two employees listed as working for the company on LinkedIn. Courtney Warner is listed as a Software Engineer for the company. Joe Gaytan is listed as the HR Consultant. I looked at his profile and he has no HR experience or background so it is surprising to me he is in this role. I honestly think this is a scam and that if I went any further they would phish for my personal information and who knows what would have happened.

I was speaking to a woman on Messenger about a job. She sent me a link to Telegram with a link. They asked for my name, address, phone numbers and emails. They tried to get my bank account information to see if they could pay me via mobile pay. I asked for verification of person and they deleted the conversation. The name on the account on Messenger is Jackie Seth Williams.

L & E Paving (Leonard Young of Spring TX and Baraboo WI) seems to be a fraud. Surely a scam to me. He took advantage of me while I was mentally foggy after an epileptic seizure. Such fogginess after an epileptic seizure is quite common. I agreed to seal coat of my driveway with oil-based sealer using a tool with rubber on a wooden pole handle. We orally agreed on $2300 Half way through, he said he would need more money for more sealer than he had figured and wanted to know if he should proceed to seal the second half and pay $5. Still foggy, I agreed. If I were clear headed I would have insisted he finish at the originally agreed price. When he completed sealing the asphalt, he said the price was 23 thousand dollars. Still, I wept and said I would have to take money from my retirement account. I could not drive because of my epileptic seizure, so Leonard drove me to the bank to withdraw the funds in cash. I asked the bankers who knew me. The bankers said they couldn't provide that much cash. Leonard became angry and raised his voice. The bankers told us to take the talk outside of the bank. Outside Leonard told me he needed to pay his suppliers immediately and couldn't even accept a cashiers check, that his bank was Western Union. Leonard grew more angry, yelling that he would put a lien on my house. Leonard left me at the bank without a ride home. I was weeping outside. A banker came out to console me , said she understood epilepsy, and said they would give me a ride home. Another banker said the price Leonard asked was extremely unreasonable, so Leonard would not put a lien on my house as Leonard would easily lose. Search the internet for his name and his "wife E*****" come up with no results even close. He does have a Facebook page for L & E Paving. I lost at least $2500 in that event. He claims to live and work in Spring TX and Baraboo WI areas, telephone 314-712-9553, email [email protected]. May God help him and his victims. May God bless BBB.

This company has you completing surveys (tasks), sharing your link to their site to generate traffic - with the promise that if you reach Level 5 you can request your first payout which takes 15 days to get to you. My son and his girlfriend were to receive payouts on 07/29 and the other payout on 08/01 neither received their payout. You only can reach the account managers Jesse & Olivia via skype and multiple individuals are posting that they cannot get a response. Both my son & his girlfriends messages have gone unanswered as well. I am scheduled to receive a payout on August 8th (attachment enclosed) but I am not confident that the supposedly "payout" will occur. They're deceiving many individuals such a shame. People are spending alot of time completing tasks AND some of the tasks require you to join memberships therein resulting in payments in order to complete that Level in order to get to the next Level. Unfortunate that they've embraced deceptive business practices. Hopefully enough people will report them.

I saw an ad on Facebook for a job so I requested information they stated they were hiring starting pay 31.95 an hour and it was a remote from home job so they proceed to have me download telegram messenger and that’s how we communicated 1st red flag they did my job interview over this website at 11pm 2nd red flag they stated they would send me a laptop and I would need to buy these programs to install on the laptop 3rd red flag they would send me a check through email for 1500 and they did all I needed to do was deposit it into my account by taking a pic with my phone and I would keep 100 for my bonus and the rest would be spent on the programs and they would send me the information to order them from. So I felt like this was a scam so I sent a message to a friend on Facebook who was friends with the person’s info they were using so I asked how well she knew this person and she stated she had met her a couple times and then she told me that someone was using her old profile with a picture of her kids on it to scam people out of money and that was the exact profile they are using to scam people with so I made a report on Facebook and reached out to you guys I tried to find a number or information to the actual expedia group to let them know someone was using there company as a scam to offer high paying remote from home jobs but I couldn’t find any information for them other than by mail and I knew that would take to long please look into this I don’t want anybody else to get scammed from this and I don’t want the company to get a bad reputation from the false advertisement I also have all the messages from the Facebook conversations and the messages from telegram messenger if you need those I can put them in a file and send them to you as well. Thanks for your time.

The scammer is from Zurich, Switzerland. It was for a job with Adecco Groups Inc. They asked for personal information. They even asked for my Facebook information. Now i cannot access my Facebook account. They are no longer responding to me!

I was applying for a job with my cousin, and then my mom stated to check out the business.  We contacted Amazon and they stated that this was fake.  We lost out SSN number.  The lady I was dealing with her name was Lauren and there was also a guy and his hot mail email address is [email protected]

I received a text from a Ann-Sofie Holm claiming to be with Södra AB stating that my resume was seen on Indeed. I asked - by text - for the details of the position to be emailed to the address on my resume and I provided that email address. A return text stated that the Work from Home position had an amazing salary and that I would have to download the "Telegram" app and contact @Asa_Sodra in order to interview with the hiring manager Asa Hovrell.

I did download the "Telegram" app to contact Asa Hovrell. I was asked for my full name and location - City and State - which is on the resume they claimed to have from Indeed. I was told that the interview would be done entirely by IM and that I was to reply only "Okay" or "Yes" to the information regarding the company by IM. The first several lengthy messages did indeed contain company information I could verify on the Södra AB Sweeden website but I could not pull up the "Hiring Manager Asa Hovrell" name on the company's website. I continued to reply "Okay" or "Yes" to the company and job position IM information messages after finding Asa Hovrell on LinkedIn as an employee of Södra.

I received an IM that stated that the company was opening a facility in Taylors SC expected to open in August. The IM stated that I could continue to work from home or work on site in Taylors once it was open. I could not find any information on a Taylors facility on Södra's website nor could I find anything about a Södra Taylors facility on Google. When I stated on the IM the lack of information of a Södra facility in Taylors, the IM session abruptly ended.

Said he was an international attorney and I would be hired as his personal assistant remotely pay me 850 a week for working 18 hrs a week He sent me a check for me to deposit into my account and I will be given instructed to where the money will be sent he said it was going to a foster home

I received an email, offering me from said company. After a series of questions, I was told I was that I was hired. I printed paperwork and signed the agreement. First deposit was $200, a sign-in bonus. I was then asked to transfer that $200 to a vendor to buy software I would need to work at home doing Data entry. The deposit was for $3750, the original money to be used to buy said software. I opened two apps, Zelle and ZenGo in an attempt to send the money but my financial institution wouldn't allow it. Now it being suggested that I go to a Walmart or CVS to get the money.

I was approached by someone on facebook claiming to have a remote job opportunity and introduced me to said scammer on the telegram app. I talked to him for up to 4 weeks and during those 4 weeks he asked to verify my identity thru id.me, so I thought it was a legit company. He then asked me for my social and birthdate and then wanted to send a check to me for working materials. He wanted to verify that I had a bank account and asked for my login credentials for my bank account. I thought he was true and i gave him everything. After trying to send 2 checks, on the 2nd check it made it to my local post office and was put in the suspious bin because the shipping label was in different fonts. So then I approached said scammer and called him out and called him a fraud. He then swore up and down he wasnt a scammer and tried to still give me the money for working materials. I have not spoken to him since, but he has all my information. He also asked for my husbands information and again i thought he was real and gave it to him. If you need is info i will provide it for you.

Telegram app,check for supplies,asked for personal info..I'm not even sure what to do now.
