They contacted me via messenger saying If I wanted to conduct an interview. I replied yes, and they said the interview and job offer process was through telegram messenger. After a bit of time texting back and forth, they told me I got the job, they sent a check and said it was to be used for company equipment and software.

Received email to interview for position I applied for on a job seeker website. Talked with Kyah Pederson on Signal. Wanted to overnight me a check to buy equipment with. Seemed odd so I researched the company and found a similar complaint from one week ago.

I applied to a job on Indeed.com. I uploaded a resume and cover letter that both had my contact info listed. Several hours later I received an email from my personsal website's submission form with an invitation to have an interview for a job that was similar to the one I'd just applied for. The message came from Steven Van Basten, a Talent Acquisition Manager at RegalixDigital.co. The offer was a little too good to be true so I googled his name and the company. Both are real, but Steven does not work at the company and the company's URL is slightly different. Several other small clues gave it away that this was not a legitimate opportunity. After reviewing more of my Google results, I found out that this same scam had been performed on others. I am so glad I did not respond.

I applied for a delivery driver job on indeed. I was called with a 480 area code number to be offered the job by a company called Fast front Distribution. I was told I had to prepay for my background check and would be refunded on my first check. I was given a link to pay the $29. The website was wasatchdo.com

I have a medical background from CNA work to working as a Nurse. Nursing destroyed my back, so I have been trying to find something remote. Through Indeed I uploaded my resume and sent it to a Data entry Analyst job for hire for Cytimmune Sciences Inc. I did an extra search and the company is real. One week later I get contacted by a Mrs. Elizabeth Jean, who represents Cytimmune and wanted to interview me for the job over a program called "signal". I get on there and use the job code that was sent to me via email. I start chatting with this "HR recruiter" and she asks me a series of questions in 3 different sets with a 10 min deadline to answer all questions. I did this effortlessly. After that she tells me to hold, that I am perfect for this job, and 15 mins later is sending me a Congratulations the bosses want to hire you speech. I was told to download Skype to meet with my "trainer" in the morning. I met with him via Skype chat. We chatted and then I was sent a new hire packet. I am talking LEGIT HR paperwork here. I-9, background check, W2, Job offer letter, etc..... I have to get it all done on DocuSign later that day. Then my trainer straight up asked me if my bank account was new and when did I open it. I told him it was my boyfriend's account. He said checks would be made out to my boyfriend and wanted all his info too! That's when I actually called the real company and asked if I was a new hire. And no.... No I wasn't. Scammed. We went immediately to my boyfriends bank to close his account and start a new one and I had to freeze my credit for a year.

I got a few texts which said that they had gotten my information from LinkedIn and I was being offered a data entry job. When I didn't reply to the texts or the emails, they called me and sounded like a legit job offer. The person I talked to was Sophia Miller the HR Manager and the area code was for Washington DC. I did their assessments and used a fake birthdate on the application. (I learned a while ago that using your birthdate was a big no when replying to someone you don't know online). I try to never give out personal info to people I don't know. Anyway, she emailed a time for a call and sent along a pdf of the position and what the job responsibilities would be. During the phone call, she made reference to my getting checks in my name and depositing them into 4 different banks in accounts that I would get later. BIG RED FLAG! I politely refused and blocked her number on my phone. I will also send her emails to my spam folder and report them as such.

The scammer tried to used a fake check scam tactic. They sent me a check though UPS for a certain amount to pay for my equipment so I can work at home. Then after the check cleared. I was told to contact an HR hiring department manager so that he can show me a private vendor that I can buy the vendor from. Which is was strange. Now I about to report them.

Priothera, Ltd...checked website to verify company/owner. Called Woodforest National Bank to verify funds (1) could not verify account number/check number (2) "employer" had me download Telegram Messenger to communicate. (3) received $4950 check in less than 24 hours to purchase "equipment to use to perform tasks" (4) told me to deposit check, take picture of deposit slip and "funds would be available"--that part made me feel uneasy. Isn't it supposed to already be there when you write the check. (5) told me to "keep $150 as a sign-on bonus" (6) pay discrepancy at first, then verified $20.75/hr during training, $35.75/hr afterwards with weekly pay. Glad I went with my first mind. Called Woodforest, sent an email of the picture of the check (looks fabulous!). They have all my personal information due to having to fill out w-4, code of Conduct forms, job offer, etc.

Christopher Shane Betts, claimed to be an asset recruiter and HR/payroll manager for SHORELINE PARTNERS LLC. In the job description the company claimed to send me an undisclosed amount of money in order for me to acquire the supplies needed for product testing.

Today 4/26/2023 at about 10:35am I received a check in my name with instructions to deposit then transfer a portion to another individual.

The whole process sounds to good to be true.

I have an account with Indeed.com to find employment. They sent me a email through Indeed.com. therefore I assumed it was legit. I didn't think Indeed woukd back a fake company,allowing them to target people three there online users. I thought everything I received from them would be on the strait and narrow. Obviously Indeed does not screen businesses before pointing users in there direction. Indeed should be held responsable

I received a cashier's check in the amount $1970.33.  The cashier check was from Greater Nevada Credit Union in Carson City 775-882-2060.  I reached out to the Greater Nevada Credit Union  and they stated that the cashier check was not on their good checks list.  The scammer wanted me to deposit the check and send them $400.00 when they tell me to send them the money.  They also wanted a picture of the check deposited.  This was an application for a job  and job interview online.  We did not deposit the check.
