I was sent a check for 2950.00 to do a survey at Walmart purchasing money orders for 2400.00 and then use 50 to mail to three different locations and to keep the extra 500.00 . I did not deposit the check but if I had, I have read they would probably have bounced the check and I would have been left owing my bank the full amount plus them probably having my personal checking information

I was emailed a job offer from a company I’ve never heard of, so I emailed them back and said I was interested in the position. I had to email them because no one answered when I called the number provided. I spoke with a man who offered me the position. He gave me details about the company, and a description of what I would be doing. He went out with the salary. He never did mention anything about Benefits and he said that he would send me over some documents to review and one of the documents would need personal information such as my ID and he also wanted me to send a picture of myself holding my ID and he needed my social, but he only asked for me to cover the last four digits. I wasn’t comfortable with the interview. It was just a bit too easy and the questions that he was asking didn’t sound legitimate. I told him that I will review the documents and let him know. Once I got off the phone with him, I went to better business bureau on line and that’s when I found that it was a scam.

They offered me a job interview and claimed it was from my resume on Indeed. I never engaged with them or emailed back or clicked on anything. I’m paranoid about scammers, which is great for me because this is a scam. But I looked at my Indeed account and never applied for Quanta Technology. Then I reached out to the actual company Quanta Technology and emailed them asking if a “Ryan Jason” or “Mr. Michael Anthony” worked for their company because I received an email offering me a job interview but I wanted to go to the source first and ask if it’s legit or not. The company itself emailed me back immediately and told me to not engage and that it was a scam. So all in all, I was right to be suspicious and my paranoia is indeed helpful. Hopefully this helps someone.

On Tuesday, January 17, 2023 at 4:30pm, I received a text message from a person named Anthony Williams claiming that he worked for Advent Healthcare. In the text, he said that my resume for their Business Data Analyst position was reviewed and the next step would be an online interview with their hiring manager, Maurice Fernandes. In another text, he gave basic information about the pay, training compensation, and the type of online work I would be doing. He claimed the work would be all online, I would be getting paid weekly or bi-weekly, and my pay would be $35.60/hour for regular work days, and $20/hour for my 2-week training. Williams inquired if I had the Zoom app because that was the platform I would need to do the online job briefing and interview. He asked for the email address linked to my Zoom account so he could email me the Zoom link needed for the interview. I sent him a text with my email and that was the end of our conversation for that day.

The next day on Wednesday, January 18, 2023, at 7:01am, I received a text from Williams saying that I needed to set up a Zoom account using the email address I sent and to add Maurice Fernandes as a contact once I log in. Shortly after a Zoom invitation was sent to my email asking to connect with Advent Healthcare. Once I was able to log in and connect with Advent Healthcare, I immediately received a Zoom message from Advent Healthcare. The message was confirming that the person was Maurice Fernandes and that they are the hiring manager based out in Miami, Florida. The remainder of this conversation played out through the Zoom chat feature. Fernandes asked for my name, age, and current location then continued to ask employer questions like my eligibility to work in the states, my citizenship, and my wpm average. After the introductory questions, Fernandes begin explaining the job details, requirements, and compensation more in detail. I noticed that the pay had changed according to the amount Williams gave me through text. Fernandes stated that the pay would be $75.60/hour and $40/hour for training. After explaining the information about the company, my pay/benefits, and my duties he continued on with interview questions through the chat features on Zoom. After the interview questions, Fernandes said that he had to send my responses to the “Superior Department” for evaluation. He said that the process should take 15-20 minutes and that I should come back online during that time. About 30 minutes later Fernandes came back online and stated that I was automatically hired for the position and that training would start as soon as HR emails me my paperwork and documentation. Fernandes then asked for my full name, mailing address, city, state, zip code, phone number, and email address to send to his secretary to enlist me on their company registrar. After sending the information, Fernandes said that a $200 payment needed to be issued from me for the software. Fernandes claimed the software was required to fulfill my job duties and that my money would be reimbursed through a signing bonus. When I questioned about this information being sent to my email in more detail, I received a final text from Fernandes saying that their company would provide me with all the information I needed to know. Shortly after, I was no longer able to message Fernandes through the Zoom chat and the cell phone number Williams used to text me, had become disconnected.

During this entire situation, I never seen or heard Anthony Williams or Maurice Fernandes. All interactions were through a text feature (SMS and Zoom chat). Additional information that was given to me during the hiring process was Maurice Fernandes’ alleged email which is [email protected].

The scammer contacted me via phone and offered me a job interview, for data entry clerk. He told me that he had found me on Career Builders. Said that he felt I had the qualifications for the job. He had me download WhatsApp and we started the interview. It was fast paced and I read everything through acknowleged that I read it and we finished the Interview. He told me that he needed to run my responses by the Board of Directors. and that it will take 30 mins. He then told me that it will take until the next day (saturday).

He then told me that I got the job and that I needed to fill out some paperwork. I filled it out It wasn't to damning. He then sent me a list of the equipment and software that would be supplied to me by the comapny. Wanted my drivers license and SSN. He then wanted a selfie of me to determine that it was me. SO for it all still seemed legit. Then he started to tell m that a check would arrive for me and that I was to deposit it into my bank. I was to take 200$ as a sign on bonus and use the rest to by equipment and software for the job. This was my first read flag. This was on Saturday. Sunday morning I get a whatsapp message from him and sends me a picture of himself that looks posed and in a suit. He wanted me to know what he looked like. This was red flag number 2. since this was more like fishing and feeling a tug. He was tugging on the bait. He then asks what I am weraing. This was the final red flag. I reverse serched the image of his picture and found that I was a guy on instagram that wasnt the person he claimed to be a Mr. Micheal GIlbert. He did get my SSN from me which I know better and should have listened to my radar of this isn't right.

The scammers, Mammoth Marketing Group, have been calling a family member about a supposed job for which they wanted her to bid on to provide certain materials and labor. My family member is not a contractor, but works for one. The scammers call at least once a day, using different phone numbers. My family member has not answered the calls, and I block them as they come in. We do not know anything about the scammers other than what is posted on their website and the fact that I have contacted you, the BBB, to confirm that they are scammers.

Then they started asking for address telephone number and the banking information. That’s when the red light popped on and I decided to call the number no one would answer so I texted the number again still no answer and they emailed me again saying send information. So my respond then was I was going to contact the local police department then I got a text that said noted.

I was offfered job with Real Health MD (King of Prussia, PA) via LinkedIn and was later emailed once application was received. I was told that I passed the initial assessment and that they would mail me a check to purchase equipment needed for the job. I received a check for $4300 ($4000 for equipment and $300 for a bonus) and was told to deposit the check and wait for further instructions on how to get the equipment from the vendor. The reason the check was mailed was so that I could receive the equipment needed faster than if they were to purchase and send the equipment to me.

This person calling themself "Ingarra Joseph" acted as the Hiring Manager of Nextgen Healthcare and conducted an interview with me. I was skeptical at first, but optimistic about the job offer, I gave out my personal info (name, address, email, cell #, scan of driver's license for ID verification) due to believing this was legitimate. Once he started discussing sending a check to pay for software and how I'd have to "transfer the remaining to the shipping agent to effect Shipping Logistics for your Equipment Listed above" is when I searched for scams and found this. After telling him I'd like to verify with headquarters he became more insistent and told me to report to him online tomorrow morning for updates on the check and getting started with work. When I showed him the link to the scam report he told me "no issues" and that he was part of the team that reported it, and said I can pass if I wanted to.

Contracted through my university email about an offer for a personal assistant job that wouldn't interfere with my studies. Took me to a link to Google Forms to include my name, email, address, sex, and available times to work (morning, afternoon, and evening). They offered $350 for 2 hours of work like running errands or data analysis. After 24 hours, I was contacted on my email by a person named Mike Bauer (email: [email protected]) saying that I got the job. There were various grammatical errors and the email originally showed up in my spam folder. He said was from a business named MB Consulting and that for the next couple of weeks and the first was to buy gifts for three Orphanages he was regularly donated to. The information he asked for to confirm my position was: Do you have an existing savings/checking account where you will deposit your check? If Yes What's the name of the Bank: Reconfirm your present local address for mail delivery, Full Name (To be written on the check), and Address, What is your Mobile # that receives text msg?, Do you know to initiate a mobile deposit? Current Occupation, Do you have a printer?. After answering the questions, I began realizing how fishy this entire exchange was and looked up the business to find nothing that matched the description he named. Immediately after, I blocked the contact and forwarded the email to anti-phishing organizations. Please do not fall for job scams like this that sound like they are too good to be true, because they are.
