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.

This is the listing:

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.

Net polarity- supposedly hired for data entry position paying $45 an hour. Received payment 1 time in the amount. Of $4500.. check was altered. Before finding that out, was instructed to send money to various people through cash app, bitcoin, Zelle and wire transfers. Never was refunded for the money, and ended up losing over $3000 of my own money after explaining I couldn’t afford it. Wanted access to all personal accounts but would not answer why they needed all this info, only said to link to dashboard., but would log into personal accounts various times. Was promised damages would be taken care of, and they never were.. NEVER recommend this company

They tried to use employment as a means of scamming me and then sent a code that would have given them access to all my information and possibly bank account. When I questioned her she said she needed.to verify me, I had already changed passwords and security questions so she tried resending a code through BIP Messenger and I blocked her.

It was for a possible job. The company name they used was CACI Company. By what I researched it was a true company backed by the BBB. They requested information for my facebook page, my bank information, pictures of my drivers licenses and ss card. I stupidly provided. They deposited 1568.00 into my account but i did not have access to it. I was asked to go purchase an apple card to get the process started. When I tried of course my debit card did not go through because my account was overdrawn due to a service fee of 4.06. I told them this. They went through my bank account and pulled different debits i had done and created claims against them. They have requested money back. The scammer name is Farrah Dotson and her partner is Lynda Cates. Luckily I have not lost money and I have not touched the money in my account and will not. But these people need to be caught. I lost my job last thursday so I was desperate to return to work.

I applied for this job on LinkedIn at first I applied for the marketing Internship. Went through the interview process everything seemed fine. I then went in for orientation and thats when things started to feel off. I was told the company was hiring me as a marketing intern and then they hired me as a full time "campaign developer" employee. What they didn't say was that I would be working Monday - Saturday typically from 9:00am-7:00pm for the same pay as the part time inter which is $400 a week with a "chance" for bonuses. The company said we work with non-profit organizations (true) and collaborate with events, local pop ups, and other direct marketing related events. It isn't direct marketing... It's direct sales sold to people as a marketing position. What I wasn't told was that this was actually a sales position not a campaign developer position and the fun local pop ups and events? Standing in a Walmart and 24 hour fitness to stop people and read them a script in hopes they donate. If you don't get any donations you then only get $400 a week for working 40 maybe more hours ( they didn't tell you this till after you accepted the job ). What was more interesting was that they actually run under at least 2 more companies names: https://skyandcomarketing.com/ , https://mktg-global.com/ , https://www.atomosminds.com/ . These also have the potential to be the same company : https://www.kyanitepr.com , https://www.vision-int.org/ , https://www.upscale-orlando.com/ . This company sold me on a fake position and are doing it to tons of other young college students. I noticed that most of the people I was working with were from Puerto rico, Nigeria, Columbia, Brazil, and more. I was talking with one of the interns from Argentina who told me this position was " nothing like I was told it would be ". I don't want other people to be scammed and I definitely don't want people to think they are going to make money when they may barely make $10/hr. This is definitely fraudulent inducement of employment and the companies I listed are still hiring on LinkedIn and it's all the same company!!!!

Received a job offer for remote data entry specialist from Jeffrey Carey at Advanced Micro Devices Inc. The supposed HR manager sent an offer letter, I9, and W4 to be completed. They sent a check overnight for me to purchase a laptop and other materials needed for work. I deposited the check and the next day my bank put a block on my account. They said the check was counterfeit and under review. Now all my money is on hold for 7 days. If confirmed counterfeit, my account will be terminated. My concern is that my SSN was on the HR paperwork . I have placed a security freeze on my credit so hopefully they will not try to open up any additional credit.
