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.

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.

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.

Earlier this year I was having trouble finding a job.  So, this one job contacted me to work from home to ship items.  I was actually shipping me items to ship for them.  I was logging on to a website.  They were sending Ipads, house hold supplies, beauty products, clothes etc.  I was suppose to get paid once a month.  I would have to wait ten days.  I did not receive my check.  I started investigating into the business.  Then I reached out to the business and they did not respond to any of my emails.  I started getting worried because I sent them my ID and my SSN.  I really worried about my identity because it has been a few months.

My son applied on Indeed and later received a job offer for the position of Virtual Assistant with Black Bear Energy Resources. The contact name was Anne Tawney. After he accepted, they were going to send him a check for $4250 that he was to deposit in his account and use to purchase the laptop and other supplies for remote work. When he questioned the practice and asked to speak with the person, they disappeared .
