The cleaner vibe company message me through housekeeper.com trying to employ me they set me up through the application and got me to send my driver's license. I got hired within the day and downloaded the app and everything and didn't hear back then when I asked what I was supposed to do next they responded with I need to put an application in and then they will call me but we've already been through that process that's how I know it's fake also I used the little chat thing on the website to ask if they were in my state as a company in the same number texted me answering my question

Customer Service Evaluation Tool (CSET). A Secret Survey Assignment. Only pick $500 x 2 and $100 x 1 = $1, 100 or ($100 and $200)

Capture the images front and back/receipts (Done)

They won't go through with the full process if the PIN number isn't revealed (I didn't reveal one of the PIN #'s to gather their response). They should not have access to any information that could be used without one knowledge before the next expected "Assignment." I had registered to one under Whole Foods recommendation and this instead came by phone access. Years ago I applied to be a secret shopper but something doesn't appear forthcoming.

The full process releases the $400.00 deposit and $250 bonus

The check $1,500.35 will not deposit until 2/7/2023 which covers $1100.35 purchased for the next assignment & the remaining $400 is retained for the recommended value obtained for the survey processing.

This company is reaching out to people via text message for a chat position paying $28/ hour. Once you respond they request a security deposit and “background check” the security deposit amount is constantly changing and they only accept payment via cashapp or a wire transfer. They then unenroll people for “not having enough managers for everyone who enrolled” but attempt to scam additional money (usually $500-$1000) to become a “manager”

If you try to get your money back they just stop responding and eventually block your phone number so you can no longer call their “office number”

There’s no office to go to because the address they’re registered at is a post office.

I applied for a Data Entry position on LinkedIn. I received an email from a "hiring manager" Payge Kachel stating that he/she would like to have and interview with me and would be conducting the interview via RingCentral and only by instant text. ( I should have known from there it was a scam) Anyway, the job offered $35.00 per our and $25.00 per hour during training. The day of the interview Payge Kachel asked me to answer several questions and to pretty much write an essay of an experience where I made a administrative error. After completing the tasks, I was informed that I got the job and will start on February 20, 2023 the she/he

sent an email stating that I did a very good job and will contact me the next day (which is today) before the hours of 12-2 (those were the exact words. After 2pm passed and received no emailed and asked was there anything else I needed to do and asked about tax papers and information. Payge emailed me back and said that I was receiving an expedited package with the "company's welcome information including Tax, Insurance, and so forth, Attached to this email was a check for $3, 299.00 to pay for the apple computer, printer, and $100.00 bonus for completing the "Assessment Essay". When I saw this, my suspicion heighted and I began to do some research. First, I looked up Payge Kachel and came up with a lady who use to work for MediLodge in Michigan, then I called MediLodge Group and told the manager the story and she informed me that they do not have a position like that and that I was being scammed. I also notified my local police department and Michigan's police department and sent the email threads to them both, after that I instant messaged the real "Payge Kachel" and let her know that her identity was being used and to delete her facebook page and start new. Attached are the email threads between myself and "Payge Kachel" including the copies of the "check". I'm a little scared because they have my name, address, and phone number.

- Employer claimed to be working for business 'Orion Energy', but he is actually a subcontractor who sells their products.

- Employer works out of home basement and has a ScamPulse.com Accredited sticker in window.

- Employer did not deliver on employment ad promises, underpaid, did not allow "casual attire" as ad stated, in fact the business owner demanded she go and have a tailor made suit that cost roughly $1000 with her own money, employer also asked what bra she wears and showed her a video of a suitable bra she could wear and asked to see her bra.

- Employer asked her to plant listening devices in customers homes during their door-to-door sales calls.

- Employer paid her cash and not the $30/hour that was advertised online in the kijiji and Indeed ads.

-Employer called her "mentally ill" when she refused to do what he wanted.

They presented themselves as coming from LinkedIn and offer me a personal assistant job upfront. They then sent me checks via email and I sent those to my bank. My bank then noted this a restricted my account. I'm currently in the process of trying to get this fix. Fortunately, I had no money in this account anyway or just had change. So I didn't lose no more than a dollar. But this is still a pretty important checking account.

I was messaged with a job offer, went through an interview on Telegram, was emailed a job offer letter and told to sign and return the letter along with a completed I-9 and W-4 by the end of the day. The following morning I received a UPS overnight envelope with a Vystar Credit Union cashiers check for $4,892.45 which I was supposed to deposit. I went to Vystar and they said the check was fraudulent and shredded the check. I did not go any further with them, I told them the check was fraudulent and they immediately changed their Telegram profile name and picture. They were using Webasto Group real names from company profile.

I received a text from a recruiter advising that Brightwater Engineering wanted an interview. I was asked to use Signal to contact HR so I reached out as requested. Just like the other complaint from Scam ID: 671749,

they claimed to be from a New Zealand engineering firm that was expanding to include work in the US. They had seen my resume and thought I would be a good candidate; I have been applying to positions including positions using recruiters, so I thought this might be legit. Next using Signal messaging app - I was given an interview, It was brief but consisted of questions I have gotten from other recruiters so I continued to move forward. I was informed that I was a good candidate and that they would like to hire me. It was explained that I would be sent a check from a U.S. located affiliate and that I should deposit it -- once cleared I should then proceed to purchase a laptop, printer, scanner, and myriad software. The laptop would be branded with their logo and already have the required software pre-loaded.

I decided to do additional research about the company because something felt off - sketchy. The company is legit but I couldn't confirm that this 'recruiter' was actually from Brightwater Engineering or a firm that works with them.

I'm glad that my dh suggested I check ScamPulse.com for any other information -- because when I told him about this he said he counted that I had used 'sketch' three times -- and I wasn't thru describing it to him. I found the scam noted above here at ScamPulse.com and it is almost word-for-word what I have experienced so I thought I'd add my story.

Scammer messaged me on LinkedIn saying that I could make 1,000,000 a year at a job. (Obviously fake). Said that he was the best recruiter in the country. Name: Brett Silver of Silvermatch.io sent me weird messages and then called me from an unidentifiable number even though I did not give out my number and claimed he got it off my LinkedIn account. My phone number is NOT on my LinkedIn account. He has since called me three times to berate me about how he is the best recruiter in the country and how I don’t understand what a scam is.

I am currently in the job market so I normally get emailed different job opportunities. I received an email concerning an opportunity from the Talent Acquisition Consultant at ING GROUP on 1/23/2023. They offered me the position of Data Entry/Customer Service and Administrative Assistant making $35 per hour (8:00 AM - 4:00 PM Monday – Friday; full-time & part-time). They provided all the details and benefits for the position. I agreed to take on the position. I received the offer letter and begin to receive tasks. I also had to download an app called Signal in order to communicate with them. They advised me that they would overnight the check needed to get all materials for the job. Once it was overnighted, I attempted to reach the bank and they of course could not give any information on the account (Montecito Bank and Trust) . My bank advised that it seemed that it was okay but I still waited a couple days. They started to ask me to send Zelle and cashapp payments to vendors that worked for the company. These people would be who would provide the following:

* A MacBook Pro 2020 (13-inch, Two Thunderbolt 3 Ports, Touch Bar, Retina Display)

* 4 in one (fax machine, scanner, photocopier and printer).

* Zebra ZM400 Barcode printer and cards.

* HON 510 Series 4 Drawer Legal: 18 1/4"W x 25D" x 52"H , Filing Supplies, Letter Size Drawers, HON 4-Drawer Letter File - Full-Suspension Filing Cabinet with Lock, 52 by 25-Inch Black (H514)

* Pro-Linea U-Desk in Bark Gray (Model : 120861-47)

* Sage Peachtree Complete

Accounting, Real-Time Accounting Integration - ADAPT CRM/CRM Software, Pivotal CRM and Quick books 2021/2022.

When the payments were unable to be sent, they would provide alternate names (Jo Dawson $jolee0306, Michael Bryant $RENNYBRY, Angela Jones $2215bluebird Clara Lizama [email protected] Kaitlin Bellard [email protected] ) and even advised that I go to the Apple Store to purchase gift cards from the amounts of $500-$1500. I told them I was unable to do so and that it seemed like a scam. It seemed like they (Mariana Gheorghe - Lead Talent Recruiter 620-258-6898) became bothered by that and sent messages about how they would rather be with their kids and grandkids and that they also have been scammed as well. I continued and it was all about paying different people (vendors) for the devices that were needed. This is the message that has been sent when asking about a contact concerning my now overdrawn account due to the check that was issued. "Your regional supervisor who is to be assigned to you online once you have your working materials delivered to your doorstep will be contacting you via video chat, phone or even meeting face to face if you two agree and set up a place and date. This work from home position provides the capacity to gain job experience without the conventional requirement of being physically present in an office. This is conducted via virtual means, such as phone, email, and web communication. Virtual employees generally have the opportunity to work at their own pace." Today I was greeted with a negative balance in my account of $3200 with no communication from the company that "hired" me. I asked for a valid phone number to reach someone there and I was asked why do I need it. I have not heard from anyone all day. I need something to be done.

This individual said he was Craig Morgan and that he wanted to give me a job working with his vendors but I'd have to open up a checking account with at least 2k deposit and withdrawal amounts or higher working with bitcoin.

We sent each other a picture of the front of our ID'S.

I've seen just recently that theirs a scam going on with Trace Atkins.

He does have a picture of my ID.

What do I do?

No money loss.
