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.

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.
