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.

Sorry to have waisted your time and mine as well, this just does not feel ok with me, with that being said, I will be ending this conversation and deleting my skype account. Thank you for the opportunity of not getting scammed. I have been through this same process before just a week ago, and did not have an honest outcome. I see so many red flags in this process and It saddens me to have to filter fraudulent hire processes that don't mean honest applicants any good.

The company have decided to help you out with your working materials you will need for the job, the cost of your working materials is $2000 which the company will be deducting it from your salary little by little until it complete $2000 and you will be paying for the shipment cost $500 to the company vendor info i will provide to you.

Job offer was given to my son by Bio Health Pharmaceuticals based out of Australia. He completed all the paperwork W-4, etc., then he was sent a check to purchase their software. When he went to the bank, he was notified that it was a fraudulent check and zero in bank account. He believes he used Zip Recruiter to apply for job but since he was applying through several job sites, he is notifying them all.

Once you receive the check you are needed to have it deposited into your bank account, then the funds will be credited and made available into your account for use the next day morning(24hrs) or less.... And with the check being a company's certified check, it should not take more than 24 hours for the check to clear.

Furthermore you will be deducting the sum of $200 from the check that you will be receiving, that will be for you as a sign on bonus as required by the company's policy, since period of establishment .. Understood ?

I got a text about a data entry job - $35/hr and was told to respond back to schedule an interview and install Signal Messenger App. From there I answered interview questions and they'd get back with once they got a decision from "the boss". The next day I was told I had the job and to send e-mail because a check was going to be mailed to cover supplies and that I could keep a sign on bonus from it. Checks came next day and they were persistent on letting them know if I received them and to go to teller to deposit. I didn't respond so they texted and call. I told them to remove whatever information they had and didn't respond.

A lady contacted me via Facebook messenger and asked if I was still looking for a work at home job. When I said yes, she asked for my email to forward to her hiring manager. Within 5 minutes a man named Marcus Eagland was chatting with me on Google chat. I had my interview at 2:30am. He asked me questions then told me I got the job. Then he started asking personal questions; name of my bank, where I wanted my check deposited, my address, and phone number. He told me the company would be providing me a apple laptop.

When asked about if employees were going to receive a W2, 1099, or if workman’s compensation would be covered we were told that those who went on interviews would need to ask about tax info. No information was given about if background checks would be required. ____ said it would be a trade almost where they do not have to pay for workers.
