The scammer under the name Deborah Henderson offered me a job as a data analyst after I went through an expensive interview process through Skype. They said they would email me a check to buy equipment needed from their third party. My bank flagged the check for $1950 after I attempted to deposit and warned me about the fraud. I shared my name and ID.

I was offered a position as a picking and packing specialist. I was to receive packages, remove labels, and ensure packages were not damaged. Repackage and wait on pre-paid labels to send out via UPS or FedEx. I was told I would receive payment after 30 days. Base pay was $2400 and Bonus was $40 per package sent out the same day. I was owed $4680 and was never paid. I still have several packages in my home now. Without labels so I don't know what to do with them.

Filled out application online for working remote. Entered my information, maybe 2 days I received an email from Laura Adams, giving me information of starting wage would be $30 with an additional $15 training pay but the catch was I needed to download an app called Telegram from Google. I would add HR Manager ID https://t.me/ryanoneil23 my interview code Dol2960. Once they asked about wanting permission to access my personal files and friend contacts I immediately uninstalled and voiced how I thought this was not normal and would be reporting to ScamPulse.com I did not receive any more communications.

I had applied for a copy editor position for an education learning company and went through a chat interview. My contact said that I would need to wire money ($6,165) to pay for my work equipment. Upon further inspection, the check was a fake.

First approached by a "recruiter" by the name of Brannon Wilshere with an email address of [email protected], informing me of a position at Femtec Health Inc. If I was interested in the position to email the Hiring Manager, "Mr. Jeffrey Johnson" at [email protected]. Contacted the person and was set up for a interview but through email only. I didn't provide my social, but public accessible information which anyone would be able to find if they sought through the internet about me. During this time of the email interview, I looked up the company through indeed, linked it, facebook and each account is set up with the names of CEO and staff. As I passed the interview process, an offer was given and a W4 was sent for completion. However, before I would give a SSN, I did a little more digging. I noticed that I could not find a phone number for the employer. They said they recently acquired Ava Women company, but even that site did not have a phone number. I searched and searched but to no avail. I looked up the supposed HQ of FemTec Health Inc, and noticed that the address is to a residential location and not a buisness complex or any of that sort. I tried calling the "hiring manager" who called me when I wanted to negotiate the rate, but no responses. (side note, I emailed the hiring manager about the issue I was having looking for the companies phone number and an appropriate address, but no responses). I'm pretty sure I alerted them, but my wife recommended for me to check the BBB.org. I forgot all about do so, so that what brings me here. When it is listed through the BBB, it states an "F" but unable to review the comments/reviews. I also utilized my OSINT tools to check IP addresses, DNS, etc. Yesterday, everything was clean. Today, there is starting to show an alert. I'm assuming this is a fairly new scam for this group.

Through the interview process and earlier today, they were quick with responses through email. But all of a sudden, silence to my inquiry questions.

I applied for over 50 jobs in a couple weeks and received an email from [email protected] stating my resume was received and I will be receiving a text from “Mark” to proceed. I was then advised to Download Microsoft teams to communicate with my hiring manager. I went through all steps of a typical interview. I was provided with all typical information provided during a typical interview. Job overview, company background, ect.. i was offered the job and advised to fill out the i9 form and sign other paperwork. I was then advised that the company will mail a check to purchase equipment then later was told there was an issue with the accounting department and the check for equipment will be emailed instead . When asked if the check could be direct deposit they then referenced back to the accounting department having issues. The check was emailed and they were adamant about me depositing the check through the mobile app which of course raised red flags.

I received an email about a job opportunity, which seemed too good to be true. I looked into the company and it looks like a legitimate company. I thought the email address the email was sent from seemed odd.... [email protected]. I decided to google the recruiter, Brannon Wilshere and found another compliant on the ScamPulse.com about him, but for a different company. I don't think he really works for any company and is a scammer. Here is the email I received:

I was contacted through email about a job that I applied to. First mistake was that I didn’t actually find or remember this application they referred to. They boasted amazing pay and benefits and said that I would have to speak to another person through a third party app. This was my second mistake. Eventually they got me to deposit a check into my account and then send money to other people under the guise of establishing trust and buying needed materials for my “home office.” They didn’t ask me to transfer more than I received in my time of contacting them.

Once connected to a "HR" individual, I allegedly had an interview with him for a data entry position to which he stated that my score was above average, he then collected my ID information, requested my banking account information i.e. routing/account numbers which I provided then he asked for my USERNAME/PASSWORD for my bank account to which I denied him. He then proceeded to tell me this information would be used only 1 time and was secure with their company and this was to build trust with them. I have provided all the information from the contact person to the HR individual in the uploaded file of all correspondence with this individual.

I received a text message from Nelson Mays at 1-904-409-3335 asking me to download Signal and add Sunnie Mathes at 334-380-4229. I went through the interview process and everything was fine until I asked some questions back. He seemed a bit frustrated that I asked several questions about the company. After a few hours he said that I received the job and that I would receive the hiring paperwork in the morning. Then he started going on about how I would need to download specific software. When I asked if the company would provide the software I was informed they would send me a check to cover the cost of equipment. This is when I started to get very suspicious because I have heard of check scams before where they ask you to send part of the payment back and then the check bounces. I gave them my name, number, and address but luckily from what I have seen they can't really do anything with that information. The final line for me was when they said I needed to check in for my tasks at 9 am the next day when I hadn't even signed any official documents yet. At this point I decided to reach out to the company themselves to see what was going on. I emailed them and received a response almost immediately from someone informing me that this was a scam and someone had been impersonating them for months. At that point I decided to cut contact with the scammers, but I wanted to report this so more people can find out about this scam before they give out even more information or get stuck paying off a bounced check.

Consumer sent out resume via several resume sites online. Consumer was contacted through text message to interview through Skype. Consumer answered all questions, then asked to stay online/available for the next 20 minutes while answers were graded. The employer went by the name of Ryan Mile and used a fully operational business name of JC Construction, LLC which is locally owned and operated in Louisiana. Approximately 20 minutes later, the consumer was notified through text message that they were selected for the position and after providing personal, identifiable information, would be officially hired and receive instructions. Consumer did as requested and was then provided instructions and soon received alleged payment in what appears to be a cashier's check drawn off of Bruning State Bank with an address of 104 E. Main St. Bruning, Nebraska 68322. Consumer was then instructed to deposit the check and notify the alleged employer with a screenshot when the checks were deposited. The alleged employer then provided contact information with instructions as to where the consumer was to distribute the funds to "vendors". The consumer notified the bank after contacting the Better Business Bureau Serving Acadiana and learning that the business did exist and was being used in an employment scam.

He called pretending to be a spark worker. Told me he worked for spark and that there was a glitch in the system and that someone else was already out delivering that order. That I was still going to compensated for the order. He walked me step by step in canceling order through spark and said he was send me message to just put yes and he was going to release the compensation for that order. To give it about 25-30 mins to see the funds in my spark account. So I waited and I never received anything so I called spark and explain what happened and the said Spark employees do not have a way to call spark drivers. That it was not them. It was then I realized that I was scammed and they took 683$ out of my branch account to their account. My account ends in 6591 and that’s not where it was transferred to and even though I’m still working for them. They are not unlocking my account or giving me the funds.

Applied for a job through Indeed, was a part of a group zoom interview - entire experience was sketchy, have not been able to follow up successfully and the business name "808 marketing" and "808 south" do not show up when I look them up through https://www.sosnc.gov/online_services/search/Business_Registration_Results.

Want to warn others.

I was emailed by a person identifying as Tim Neese from Aveshka, Inc. He said that I was offered employment for a remote junior software engineer position after I filled out some screening questions. When I accepted the job, he sent me over an employment offer letter and requested a copy of my ID, so I returned both back to him. After that, he said that he would send me an e copy of a check that I would deposit and use to give to a vendor for some equipment necessary for the job. I deposited the check. After sending $3100 to the vendors via Venmo and Google Pay, I took a look at the check and looked up the bank that it came from. I noticed that the branch that corresponded to the routing number on the check had a different phone number than what was on the check. After that I looked up Tim Neese on LinkedIn and noticed he liked a post from another recruiter from Aveshka warning people about somebody using an email similar to hers to scam people. The email had a domain name of @aveshkajobs.com, the same domain name as Tim Neese’s email. After these discoveries, I immediately called my bank to cancel the deposit of the check, and requested my money back from the vendors. I was able to get $2000 out of the $3,100 back.
