I received an email stating a man saw my resume online and wanted to offer me a position. I would have to communicate through telegram, however. He offered for me to fill out the required paperwork and then fill out info from other emails. He would provide the equipment and set everything up. I asked for his full name and a phone number to call him. He said I can call through telegram. Clearly an employment scam.

They sent me a check to deposit into my account.  I deposited into my account.  The check had bounced.  I had already sent them two thousand dollars.  They were suppose to wrap my vehicle with the NOS Drink as a advertisement.  I Sent the money to a Tammy Shaws at 606-362-7080.  I have been talking with Frank.  When He found out that I was upset I have not heard from him since.  All I was trying to do was get some extra income by advertising with my car.

The job appeared to come from a personal contact from Facebook. They went through a whole interview via text and told me that I got the job. Then went ahead and took all kinds of personal info. They asked what mobile carrier then pressed to get access to Facebook profile and bank account info to put money into so that I could buy the equipment to work from home. The conversation was weird from there.

I filled out a job application giving them all of my personal information... name, address, picture of drivers license and social security card. They require you to have a friend identify your I-9 documents, then they tell you said friend identified documents but the app says documents still need to be identified and the app doesn't let you go any further. I have done this with 2 different accounts on 2 different devices thinking there was an error in my part.

A woman named Nancy Geisler emailed me her Skype link, responding to my application for a proofreader job on the website. After the interview, I filled out employment paperwork and ordered work equipment. The vendor took my money but never delivered the product. Geisler keep claiming that more money was needed through Bitcoin.

Listing on Desoto listing site for work from home jobs. Online interview had various questions. It started on June 2nd. They sent me a Walmart money card to put my payroll on for once start working. They asked for my credit card number to put money on to buy equipment. They sent me a check for 4500 and I had to go online to use the check through a private vendor. The check came June 16th. I deposited it through the drive thru like he told me. It wouldn't be available until the 21st. He kept calling asking if it cleared and I told him no. I went into the bank to ask and they said it would be available and then the check failed to be released. The hiring manager asked if I could send $300 to start getting equipment until I got the money cleared. I asked for my money  back and I didnt want anymore checks. Communication was all through an app and I told him I was going to report him and he threaten me.

So I filled out a job application on zip recruiter for a remote job. A they reached out to be via email stating that they want to proceed with the interview towards the position. I was instructed to set up a Skype account to have the interview. I was then sent an email to fill out paperwork and scan it back in because I was hired for the position. The paperwork did require personal info as far as social security number and drivers license number. Then I was sent a check for $6,320 to be deposited into my account to purchase equipment desired for work. That check did get approved by my bank, but after almost 2 weeks it was returned do to account not having money. I bank with PNC Banking and asked for them to check for fraudulent activity concerning the check before depositing, however certain actions did not take place, which made me fall for the scam even more.

They pretend to host virtual job fairs all around the country. You register, give your email, they say you have tickets and tell you to click for your tickets. Then they never send you any login information and there is not virtual zoom. So what are they doing with all of these emails they are collecting?

I applied for a job on ZipRecruiter. I received a text message responding to a job and said to download the Signal app to communicate with the hiring manager. They asked interview questions which took all day back and forth. They sent me an engagement letter and job offer letter to be signed. Then they sent me a W-9 to complete. Then they said a check would be mailed to me in my name, so I could purchase the work equipment (i.e. laptop, monitor, etc.) and a list of vendors. I received a FedEx with a $4,100 check which I filed away and will never attempt to deposit.

I was reached out via text to apply for a job. They sent me an offer letter and checks to purchase equipment. I made these purchases via the "hr rep" and then the check was returned to them. Im uncertain at thr moment how much is lost. I have the emails and the original number they texted from. They only have my name email phone number and birthday that im aware of.

I inquired about a remote work from home position through a posting on Facebook in which Melanie Yarbrough sent me a message asking me to download BiP messenger for an interview with Bethany Hunt. Everything seemed legit and Bethany told me the interview would be through text which was the first red flag. A professional interview should be via video chat. I went online to see if these were reputable names and came across the scam on BBB.

A friend of a friend put a listing for employment on facebook. I said I was interested. They would provide training and send you the equipment you needed, she then told me I need to get the app Telegram. I get the app and she sends me a code to send on Telegram. I do so, and get a gal named Dana Anderson. I answered some (what I thought was legit questions) and she told me I was hired and my equipment would be on its way and I would receive it by the end of the week. She kept asking me if I had any student loans or mortgage because they help their employees with these things. Seemed strange to me. Then I started questing her, name , picture, how long she has worked for the company etc, I really never got a straight answer. That is when I called her out about being a scam. She said it was 100 % legit. This all started May 30, 2023. On June 2nd. I called her out about not receiving any equipment. She says she will keep me posted. June 3rd she just says Good Morning and that was the last I heard until June 11th asking me if I was still interested. She says now I will receive the "equipment" once the online portal is setup. and gave me a bunch of questions to answer, which I never have. On June 12th I get a "Good Morning" from her and I never answered and still have yet to hear from her.

BIG RED FLAGS for sure.

Full name and age

It appears to be impersonating CVS Health. No link to the job posting, no option to video chat, no resume review, but hired immediately on the spot. The acquisition of personal information was attempted.

They only wanted to conduct an interview on zoom but only in the chat feature. No video and claimed this is “how the company operates”.

Attempted to ask for banking institution information. Never gave this information.

Very unfortunate.

Was working in Roanoke Virginia last May on contract for Spar Inc,t I was supposed to be there on contract until July 15 2022 and all employees were woken up and some were moved and the rest of us were thrown out. Staff had played with my paycheck, bouncing it to different accounts,had the hardest time getting my paycheck, communication was slack, waited 3 weeks for a paycheck and didn't have per diem when you were there. Clearly a scam! Stay away

I was contacted through Indeed by this company. It was a work from home job and also included paid training and signing bonus. I received a e-check for $4,000 to set up an office and for training. I printed the check out, and on Saturday I deposited the check into my account and it was on a 5 day hold to see if it would clear. The bank contacted me to let me know the check bounced and said they would be investing this business for fraudulent activity. I was also advised to contact the BBB.

There was an application online through a group called 4 Hearts One Focus. He had a lengthy interview with them and they deposited a check into his bank account. So the money is sitting there and it seems very sketchy. We are going to close his bank account.
