I was contacted by phone number, 321-207-6133, through text by someone calling themselves, Jaime Gonzalez, stating they worked with Carelon. They told me to contact Mr. Roberto M. Nini via Skype for an interview. They said to only do chat for the interview. I downloaded Skype and contacted this person with email address, [email protected], on Skype. They did a very long interview process, made me hold for ten minutes while they said they discussed the interview with the HR team and then told me I was hired. They sent me a contract to the company that included the Carelon logo on it. Then they told me I needed to have certain types of software on my computer in order to work but that the company would pay for all of the software. They gave me a list of needed software and then told me that they would email me a check to deposit so that I could purchase the software through their vendor. The check did not go through right away and my bank placed a hold on it for 7 days. I told them this and they seemed in a rush for me to get the deposit, so that I could purchase the software and “begin working”. Then they sent me a smaller check for $400 because I told them the hold was possibly because of the amount of the check. I deposited this check as well and the same hold was placed on it. Then they asked me if I could cover the cost of the $2,100. I told them no. Later they asked if we could at least cover $500. I told them no. I told them I would contact my bank and ask them why the checks were being held that night and get back with them. I wanted to contact my bank anyway to inform them because I still was not sure if this was legitimate or a scam. I contacted my bank and spoke with someone who told me that the checks were good. Then I thought maybe this is really the company. So I contacted Roberto Nini back that night and told him that the bank said the checks would deposit in three days and that I would keep them updated. The next day, I received an email from capital one saying that I needed to call them. I looked on Carelon’s LinkedIn for an email address for an actual employee from their business and saw that their emails ended in, carelon.com. I double checked the email of the person I received the contract and checks from and their email address was [email protected]. So this was a purchased domain name made to look like Carelon. This is when I knew for sure this was a scam.

It was a work from home/remote opportunity via Facebook. I was asked to download Signal, which I have now learned is an untraceable app for messaging. They did a 12 question interview, which was vague. You could not contact anyone, everything was communicated with Signal. They asked for my name, phone number, picture of myself and then my driver's license. Then they asked for my bank, to make sure it coordinated with their payroll. Then, they asked for my log in and password information. We did not give that to them and stopped the communication.

I was offered a work from job from Outsy LLC located in Florida but they are a national company for customer service representatives. I did a zoom interview with someone but they didn’t have their camera on. I was also communicating with someone on telegram about the information about the job. I filled out paperwork for them as well via email. All the paperwork looks very professional and real that’s why I believed it was a real job. After I officially received the job, they started describing to me in “detail”, they used, about helping clients with cryptocurrency. Then asked if I ever used it myself. Told me I had to make an account to move forward and then would link my account to the corporate account. The account was somewhere in Oregon and I got suspicious so I unlinked the account because I did not want to be accused of fraud especially since the Robinhood account was MY name and not the company name. During the time they asked me to create my account they kept asking for screenshots of each time I finished filling something out via telegram.

I was messaged about a job for a customer service/sales position. They said they were “Bottazzi Blondeel LLC”, a European jewelry store expanding to the US. They sent me a legit looking job contract, job description, and even had a small application and interview process. Used email addresses ending in **********************. Gave me phone numbers and set me up with a sales manager to train me. Spoke to the “hr manager” and my “sales manager” meant to train me. Both just ignored questions when I asked them and continued talking about the job. I was to do a paid probationary period of one month before being permanently hired. On my first day of probation I was asked bank information as they required i make purchases for the company with money they sent.

The position I accepted was for InStyle as a Proofreading assistant. I found this on Upwork, but at this time, I was wondering who the client was or the name of the position. Upwork hides all client information until the client has picked your proposal and moves into the interview stage. All my contact with the "client" has been through a skype chat because the "client" claimed our time zone was different. I didn't think of this then since I knew Meredith had a location in New York City, and the team could be based there.

I received an offer letter via email, eagerly accepted it, and signed it. After I signed the offer letter, I sent it through the skype chat to my "supervisor," who called themselves Michael Brent or Brent Michael; that's what it looks like on my end.

They ask if I have the items needed to start a 3-day orientation, and I say no, then they send a few fairly scripted messages and a check to cover the costs of the items. I am supposed to use my mobile banking app to deposit into my account.

Once the funds arrive in my account, they want me to pay the local vendor responsible for shipping out the materials - a computer and a laptop with the company's enterprise software loaded in on it since they don't have an online version yet.

They informed me payment could be made through Zelle; we tried that, and it didn't go through. We keep trying other apps - CashApp and PayPal. Then they ask for Apple gift cards in increments of $500. I immediately decline, and my phone rings; it's my bank saying they blocked a fraudulent card on my account. Then I pull the plug and tell the supervisor we will not continue until I can verify the check. What makes me incredibly suspicious is the payment methods and how pushy the supervisor was for me to complete the transaction.

They posted a job as an outbound call center position with day one benefits.

I and the other 10+ trainees didnt find out that the position was Inbound only until partway through training and that day one benefits meant day one After training.

After further investigating they have been doing this bait and switch scam tactic since at Least 2019 posting job ads specifically stating a job role but then surprising candidates that it is another after they are hired.

I was first contacted through email and phone call for an interview. I completed the phone Interview and then they sent me videos to watch and links to download and study . They sent me a link to set up and account to where I would be receiving packages taking pictures to make sure it was the correct item and then resending them back out with the shipping label they sent. I did this only for a couple of days before It got a little sketchy so I researched it online. Turns out I'm not the only person that this has happened to recently.

Contacted offering 2500 a month to receive parcels, collect and re-ship parcels to customers. Then offered promotion to open up our own credit card to purchase customers items and then ship on to buyers. At this point refused to continue working down further research and identified a potential scam. No answer from human resources, contacting police.

Received a link stating make money part-time while doing surveys as a secret shopper. The alarming part was the large amount of money that was being sent off $1882.00. I then received two emails stating the amount being sent what I was to do. They wanted me to purchase gift cards then send them the numbers of the gift cards for proof. The whole thing just doesn’t sound good at all. When I originally signed up I thought it was legit because I’ve don’t surveys before and received gifts and money. But what they are asking is extreme.

They said that they hired me at 37.00 an hour after a very short interview for their company based in a different country. They said that they would send me a check to my house for “supplies” and after questioning they said very basic office supplies that I already had and software. They didn’t tell me what software. After I cashed the check I was supposed to meet them in person to sign W-4s and they wouldn’t tell me where. After that I reverse image searched her profile picture and it was a completely different name, person, and company.

I had recently applied to work from home jobs on indeed and was emailed from Pharmaron stating they were interested in me completing an interview. The interview was conducted via zoom CHAT I was never asked to join a zoom call or anything. They asked me a bunch of questions that seemed fairly legitimate and then told me I would be receiving a “start up check” to purchase home office equipment. I kinda started to get red flags from that and the fact I never had to do any video interview.
