I submitted an application through indeed for a graphics design position at Procter and gamble. A Tracey Grabowski contacted me back about the job offer and done an email interview and offered a job and money to help start my home office. When I questioned about the check and where it came from I was told nothing else was available and my offer for a job had been taken away. I contacted Procter and gamble themselves and they said to contact you guys. I am very disappointed and hurt by this. I never put in my social security number.

I am looking for a job and I applied for this job thru a job board. They contacted me the same day and asked me to sign on a app called Telegram. First red flag. Then they did an interview thru the app. Offered me the job and then said they will send me a check thru my email. for me to deposit into my online bank account. For a bonus I could keep $100.00 . The starting pay was $32.00 and will in training I would get $27.00 ph. I went to the Glassdoor job board and found the real company that is located in California. I sent an email to the company asking them do they have an employee named Benita Greer and Nichole Raines who are suppose to be hiring managers for the company. I was informed thru the real company that no these ladies are not their employees. I was advised that this is a scam and to not send any personal info. I want to warn everyone about these scam artist.

On Sept 27, 2022, I joined Continental Post, 5301 Hamilton Blvd., #9, Theodore, AL 36582 (888) 565 5180, as an independent/remote "supply chain operator/manager" of their Shipping Department. The immediate supervisors were Cale West. Mngr, Shipping Dept. (251) 317 9854. [email protected]. The next supervisors are Karl Wilford. Suprvsr, Incoming Pkgs. (251) 317 9856. [email protected]. and Favour Tyson. Suprvsr, Pkgs & Shipping. (251) 317 9857. [email protected]. The dashboard they set up for me was at this URL in Gmail: https://dash-continental.com/user. On the above date, I complied with their request for me to take a picture of myself holding my OR Driver's License and send it to them in an email. I also gave them my physical address, email, and phone number. "Tasks" I did for them included picking up packages from my apartment manager's office, and receiving packages at my apartment that were dropped off by UPS. I also Picked up items, such as iPhones and Mac Books from two local Apple Stores. When I received a UPS or FedEx package, the task was to remove all labels from the box, take a picture of the contents, and put the new label on the box that was downloaded from the dashboard. I then shipped the package out to a recipient that was different than the one that was on the original label on the box. If I would have had a label printing printer, it would not have cost me anything except fuel for my car and the costs to have items boxed and shipping labels printed at the local UPS Store. Originally, I was told the pay was $2400 a month, paid after 30 days. There were bonuses I was told I would be given for driving out to various places where I would pick up an item, or items, have them boxed and shipped out with a new label. On 11/06/22, my salary and bonuses had reached $2400 and $1200, respectively. (In the past, working for OTHER COMPANIES --NOT CONTINENTAL POST--I had worked on projects where payment was to occur after the project was completed, whether that was for weeks or months.) So, it did not seem extraordinary that they said they'd pay me in 30-40 days for all the work I did --which they did not do.

I was initially emailed by [email protected]. I responded despite seeing the generic email address as well as the numerous spelling and grammatical errors within the email. They then sent me over to the other email address listed prior, [email protected]. I filled out a quick screening questionnaire that was entirely about my personality, work experience, as well as a few questions towards my definitions of words like "Quality" as jobs may do. I have yet to be asked for personally identifiable information however if I am I'm very cautious towards doing so. They stated that "the pay is $45 per hour and training is $25 per hour and will be getting payment weekly via check or direct deposit, depending on which you prefer." but also gave me inconsistent hours working anywhere between 20 hours and 40 hours a week. There were also questions on the questionnaire such as "do you prefer getting paid weekly or biweekly" that they immediately contradicted in the email that followed the questionnaire submission. The strangest thing of all of it is how quick they are to respond; it almost seems like it's just a bot on the other end, but there's too much information that is right on what I've been looking for to be a purely automated scam. They had my name as well as a job very similar to what I have been applying for on LinkedIn (Remote game design/development).

(Translogix) Applied and went through a quick interview process over the phone. Wanted me to send Paypal account, contract long application, copy of drivers license. Thought it was legit. They started sending me packages and I would recieve the package and database online to follow. I had the shipping label and put the label on the box and take it to Fedex or UPS. I did it and as I'm doing it more packages come. They then started sending me credit cards in other people names. I would have to take a photo and front and back of card and send it in. I did 6 cards until I realize this is not right. The packages were ok but credit cards werent right and I didnt feel comfortable. They sent change of address forms. I decided to send an email to the company that I recieved a change of address forms, they told me to trash it. All of these people mail started coming to me. Yesterday I have 7 letters from BOA with different customer names on it. I have a total of 9 credit cards still in envelopes. These people names arent in the database yet. I sent all the packages out but I still have all the credit cards. I never seen anything like this in my life and theyre using me as a middle man.

The employer hired me to receive packages and send them off to different customer as well as provided a dashboard login for employees to login to see all of the shipments, when they will be sent out and when you should receive them.

I was approached via email with a job offer. I was given the next person of contact(hiring manager)to reach out for an interview. The HR questionnaire had a question about your banking. The next day, the hiring manager reached back out and one of the questions was about receiving the products needed to work with. A cashiers check would be sent to me, but I could forward the payment so I could start working. I didn't send and asked of the relevance, and then..no more contact.

This remote job for admin assistant was under the disguise of Khalilah Beavers whose business is Shirley Alice Vintage & Indie Designer Boutique. They posted this job on Careerbuilders. This person Khalilah Beavers is legit. I did talk with her and she said she never posted a job. The phone texting come from 269-275-9245 whose name come up as Brian Fowler in Burlingto MI. They sent a check on Cadillac of Naperville. The check was drawn on Bank of Pontiac 300 Wes Washington Street Pontiac IL 6174-0710. I call the bank and check was legit in the amount of $2,986.00. The last text I got from the scammers was that the tracking USPS Priority Mail delivered. That is when I called Ms. Beavers. See attachments

I applied for a job on career builder and got a referral to Orchid Pharm and heard nothing but the bad news that this company does not actually exist. I am happy that I found out it was a scam before I gave personal information about myself. I thought it was too good to be true because there were no background checks and they gave me the job right away. They said I could work from home making $43/hr. Its crazy that people pull on heart strings and get your hopes up. I'm very disappointed.
