They said they were an event planner for a firm event. Given an amount of money to spend for the event. Placed an order and sent an online check and asked multiple times once the check was deposited into my bank account. Once it was deposited, they sent an email saying the event was cancelled and asked for a refund via CashApp, Zelle, and Venmo.

They also had terrible grammar and punctuation and overall text in line was inconsistent, should have been my first immediate red flag.

I am the victim of whatever scam is happening in the name of medicine and pharmaceutical companies. I totally relate to the post I came across. I got a text introducing herself and then proceeding to say she found me on Indeed.com in which lured me to texting to an alternative number which finally lead me to "HR". Communication was via Skype and managed to keep me on my feet.

I repeat, Do Not Accept anything by text to do with Remote Work offering $20/hr for training and $30 once hired. If it sounds to good to be true it more than likely isn't. My family and I are out on $2,500. All because I thought this was a legit thing. I've been looking for remote work because I wanted to help not put us further in debt. GoFundMe?

I applied for a job on indeed and this person contacted me by email. I sent my ID front and back and bank info such as account and routing number. They sent a

dashboard and I logged in. My

‘job title’ was package inspector.

They sent me a package that has

a gold ring. They seem really sketchy. I called them several times but they did not answer. I told them I am not interested but they kept sending emails saying the package has been delivered. What should do with the package I received from them.

The scammer used the company information from RTG to get me to buy gift cards and send the information to them. I was told that I was hired for a job and that I needed to cash the check that they sent to me of $4950 to buy four gift cards and send them the pictures of the front and back of the gift cards to pay for equipment for my home office. Once I sent the gift cards to them, I started to feel that I was possibly being scammed so I called my bank. After calling the bank and speaking to a few associates, I was told that the check was fraudulent and that once processed in a few days it would bounce, which it did and my bank account was put in the negative.

I received an email from a "lawyer" by the name of Janyce Keiko Imata Blair (email used: [email protected] ) about contacting a hiring manager by the name of SCOTT MUSSER for an urgent remote job position of a Transcriptionist and she provided his email ( [email protected] ). I thought this was a real job opportunity as I have multiple job alerts set up on various career websites. She stated she got my information from "Your resume was gotten via candidate search on Indeed, LinkedIn and Ziprecruiter." Then, I emailed Scott and inquired for the job and more information on the role/company. We emailed and the next day I had a virtual interview that was via Skype, his skype name is ( live:.cid.1d044ccef02104fe ) the interview questions were presented via skype chat and were relevant to the job position and job details. The next day I was told I was going to be hired and received an Employment Letter email from the following email address ( [email protected] ) which contained an Employment Contract, blank W4, Direct Deposit form and an Emergency Contact Form for me to fill out. I read through the contract and it seemed fine, so I mistakenly submitted all of the forms back and stated my acceptance in an email response. I sent all forms back that included my personal information, such as but not limited to, social security, bank account info, address, full name, phone number, etc. I was then told they would be sending me a check to deposit via mobile banking and this check was from a vendor company of theirs called: ALL FINANCIALS INC. I received the check and deposited it as instructed, there was a lot of urgency expressed from Scott Musser that this was time-sensitive and so forth. My bank put the deposit 'on hold' to investigate further. After two days I was told to contact my bank because my bank account was suddenly placed on 'Restriction' and might be forced to close my account. I called my bank, J.P. Morgan Chase, and they stated that the check was fraud/fictitious and I would need to close my bank account and open a new one because the account was compromised due to the company having this information and trying to have me deposit a fake check. During these two days, Scott Musser insistently tried to have me purchase the "company equipment" that I needed and that the check was for with my personal credit card, to which I refused and said I would like to wait for check to clear before purchasing anything. Well, I made an appointment and went to the bank and they created a different account and closed my previous one due to it being compromised. I now have to deal with my SSN being released by this scam of a company and am very frustrated by the sensitive information they were able to collect from me. Their website that I submitted is what is shown on email receipts, however, when I try to visit it I cannot because it says it is not a safe site. I believe this individual(s) and company are impersonating a real company that is based in the UK by the name of 'Titan Publishing Group Ltd' because the employment contract was signed by "Nick Landau" but I doubt it was the real person. They are targeting individuals looking for remote work and preying on victims to get sensitive information and if I hadn't closed my bank account it would have probably been way worse. I am hopeful this report will help someone else from being a victim of this job scam and victim of check fraud. I have uploaded a pdf document that includes email transcripts, email attachments, scan of fraud check, employment contract and forms. Please Note, I have removed my personal information from the attachments and check for privacy purposes. However, nothing else has been altered.

A job listing I found on Indeed.com last night resulted in me getting a message this afternoon asking me to email the following address for more information on the position: [email protected]. I was immediately suspicious due to the generic Gmail domain and blatantly misspelled company name, so I reached out to Gregory & Appel Insurance’s Facebook page. They confirmed that this email address is not used by their company. Additionally, this company is actually based out of Indianapolis, IN, despite the Indeed.com job listing stating Monterey Park, CA. I have placed all screenshots in a Word document for your convenience and have reported the job listing on Indeed.

Upon following the email’s domain to Hill Place Realty’s website, I knew something was off. There are typos throughout the website, and it looks beyond fake. I was also thrown off by the company name on the Indeed job listing being completely different from the email address’s domain. As I am typing this, the job listing has already been taken down. I just applied about an hour or two ago. Here are screenshots of the follow-up message I received on Indeed after I submitted my application, as well as screenshots of the Hill Place Realty site. The business location shown on the website is Tampa, Florida, but the job listing’s location is Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. I’ve put all screenshots in a Word document for your convenience.

I signed up for the work at home business and paid my $39.50 through paypal. I was then sent text messages about contacting them to have a telephone interview to be chosen for a marketing program. They said they only pick a few people to work with. He put me on hold to see if I would be selected and sure enough, I was. He asks about a time when myself and husband could take a call to discuss this job. I told him a time and then he put me on hold. He then got back on and said he would have to call me back. I have not heard from him/them. I want my money back. Below is an answer I got regarding the email I sent asking for my money back.

I applied for a job on LinkedIn, to a company called American Life Income. The job is remote work for selling life insurance. I had an interview with a Caliegha Scoville and I was hired a couple days later. I was told I would have to pay for the online courses and attend a couple meetings including a webinar. I was also told I would need a windows 10 or better laptop and not my Chromebook in order to do the job. So I went out and bought a laptop. Then I saw the email where I had to pay for the classes. I paid for the classes. They were $99. I attended my first webinar online. The webinar looked like a normal webinar. In the bottom right it said it was live and there were other new hires participating as well. I did the first chapter of the class. Then I received a “Welcome to the team” email. In the email it said I would need to participate in another webinar with new hires. So I signed up for it. After a few minutes of being in the webinar I realized it was the same webinar as the first one and it was not live and the people in the chat were not real people. It was explained to me that it would be a live webinar for new hires. That webinar was completely fake and the people chatting were fake. It was all prerecorded and it was explained that it was live. That’s when I realized it was a scam. Then thinking about it more having to pay for the online courses up front should have indicated a scam. I am unemployed and I have been applying to so many jobs I am unable to remember all the places I’ve applied. I have always wanted to get into life insurance and thought this was a great opportunity but ended up being a scam. They know my full name, home address, birthday, and the last four digits of my social. I just hope nothing happens. I reached out to the site adbanker.com about getting my money back. Another lady I was speaking to, Bryanna Wagner, she told me I would have to go through that website to get my money back. I reached out to the website. I was sent an email from them saying I would be refunded in 7-10 business days. They didn’t ask for any information regarding my account or anything so I don’t know if I ever will get my money back. I looked into life insurance companies local to where I live and they all said the same thing that they pay for all the courses just not the state exam. So I know for sure I was scammed.

I was emailed for an interview which was done via Teams. I was hired and began doing a series of administrative duties. I did research this person and the company, all findings seemed valid. After a few days, they sent me a check stating that they were in another country and I needed to get supplies in US. They walked me through purchasing this equipment after Bank of America released the funds into my account. Zelle transations were to a Jennifer Neill for computer and printer, plus a wire transfer to a Silvergate Bank for software. They even sent me an invoice from Flexiant, which also googled as legitimate (so it seems). Later that day, Bank of America took back their funds and stated they "completed the transfer(s) according to the instructions you provided us, and therefore no error occurred. Based on this, your account won't be credited." I am now in debt for the $3000 involved. Steven Cozzetto still maintains the legitimacy of this company. He even sent me emails asking me to print checks and mail which I did not do. I have all of this documented, even the Teams conversations.

I was contacted by someone via text stating they received my information about a remote position on careerbuilder.com. I was then asked to download Microsoft teams where we communicated about the job, salary, benefits, job description etc. I was then asked several interview questions and to talk about myself. I was told they would send me a check to by equipment in order to do my job as a Data Entry Processor. I asked several times to speak with someone over the phone, however I got no response. Two days later I received a check in the mail for $4,820.00 from PNC Bank with an invoice from *** Electronics. I again reached out to the company for more information, but no response. I then called *** electronics where I spoke with someone who informed me, they had not sent out a check and it was possibly a scam.

A thee step process the letter said there was a check for 2,940 cash at my bank before going to Walmart it was fine if the bank wanted you to deposit it you are required to deduct 540 as your salary then buy 6 gift cards of 400 each from 3 different cashiers 2 cards from each one never telling the casher why you are buying them if asked just tell them personal use. After buying the cards Iwas to take close and full photos but first scratching off the silver panel at the back of the cards also take a photo of the receipt then send the pictures via email to [email protected]. Keeping the cards to be used in my second assignment. I called FNBT bank in Ft Walton Beach Florida they told me about the scam and that their check are not blue.
