A woman by the name of Nancy Betty Richardson posted about a work from home job on Facebook that I was interested in. She had me download a app called Telegram off of the App Store to contact the hiring manager through so I could interview. I thought this was a bit odd but I’ve been out of the workforce for a while so I went with it. I interviewed with a woman named Bliss Connie through Telegram. Then before giving out any personal info like SSN or Bank Numbers I contacted the business they were claiming to be from and confirmed that they did not actually work there. I have now blocked them completely.

The scammers reached out about a job on indeed. They claimed to be offering medical customer service but the website is construction. When asked about it they changed the subject. After verifying I was unemployed they asked for my bank account information to "verify direct deposit compatibility" When I didn't give them my account numbers they blocked me. What kind of evil person purposely targets unemployed people to steal from? Who purposely chooses victims that are already suffering?

Was contacted by instant messenger informing me that I would be a good fit for a data entry position and that they found my information on indeed.com

Was requested to download program telegram.org so we could do an interview. Went through the interview process via text and was offered a job position. They emailed me a job offer but wanted me to include all my bank information before proceeding.

They sent me an email asking if I wanted employment from home making $2800 a month along with $25 bonus for each package I sent out. They sent me a few packages like a brand new IPhone, perfumes, shoes, and even a table for a child. It has been almost 2 months and I have not received any money. I can no longer log onto my account and I cannot reach them threw email or phone. I just hope I don’t get charged for any of the packages because they have a lot of my personal information.

I was contacted by for a data entry position and was told to download the trillian app for interview. I was offered position and everything seemed legit. They mailed me a check for 4800 to gain the at home office equipment to start work. I deposited check into my account and was told to make purchase for RH software. I questioned the software because I had no equipment to have the software put into. I froze my account and am now in limbo I tried to reconnect with original contact and I haven’t gained any responses. I also have all emails and received information

I was recently contacted by these people from Crystal quick services. They have you open up many accounts with other banks and sometimes they’ll send you the start up money right away. They’ll ask for personal information and make the interview look legit and it’s mostly Text base interview and Audio Calls No video.The avenue they mostly use is Telegram so beware. This looks like a money laundering scheme and your just going to be the middle mule for it all using your name on accounts for all transactions. They’ll even have you go as far as opening a mailbox “for business purposes”. If you get caught up in this your likely to find yourself in Prison with everything under your name

NOTE: I don't know if the company itself is a scam or just the people I interacted with who may have been pretending to be this company.

Monday, September 12, 2022

I received a text yesterday, Monday September 12, 2022 at 11:11am from +1 (858) 221-7453 :

"Thank you for applying to our job post, We are impressed by your background and would like to invite you for the job briefing and interview at Altay Therapeutics Inc. You made it to the Next step for the position of Customer Service Representative/Data Entry, Are you interested in proceeding? You are required to download and set up TELEGRAM on your app store (https://telegram.org/) and if you have one already, use it. Add Mrs Raquel Alexandria (https://t.me/Raquel_Altay_Therapeutics) and connect with her for your interview. Your Job ID is (REQ-231). She will be expecting to hear from you soon. Best of luck!"

I followed the link, downloaded Telegram, and added the person linked in the text (Raquel Alexandria, HR) for my interview. I didn't remember even submitting an application to this company, Altay Therapeutics Inc.(I have a spreadsheet of which companies and which positions I've applied to, but some companies/positions I forgot to put down in the spreadsheet), however, I applied to so many other companies that I thought maybe I just forgot that I applied to this company. Anyway, I was speaking with Raquel Alexandria, and this person was asking me questions about the position but also asked questions for personal information (name, home address, phone number, email address, citizenship status, which banks I have accounts with, telephone provider and plan, etc.), and, unfortunately, I provided this information because I thought this was part of the interview process (I don't have much experience with interviewing). After all of this, they told me that I was hired for the remote Data Entry Clerk position, and I start training Tuesday, September 13, 2022 morning at 8am EST (even though they are a company that supposedly is located in San Carlos, California). Also, Raquel Alexandria said that the company would cover the costs and provide all office equipment, including a Macbook Pro, iPhone, printer, paper shredder, laminating machine, headset, and software. Raquel Alexandria also told me that for the first two weeks of training, Telegram would be the only way to communicate and that later I would receive contact information for the other departments of the company.

Tuesday, September 13, 2022

8am EST: Raquel Alexandria messages me via Telegram instructing me to add my training supervisor, Ronald Powell (https://t.me/Ronald_Powell), and continue training there. I started talking with Ronald Powell, and they sent me this message:

"Good. As members of our team, it’s our priority to invest in you so you can take care of yourself and your family. I believe your interview manger told you that the company will shoulder the bills regarding your full office set up that you will need to become a productive employee, in order to get that done you will be sent a CHECK the check is to cover the expenses of the working materials in which you will be getting from the company accredited and trusted vendor."

Note: The vendor will be responsible for installing the software programs into the MacBook and configuring the iPhone to the MacBook before mailing them out to you. You will only be required to make the payment to the vendor once the check funds has been made available. The payment receipts and equipment will have your name on it because the equipment will become yours after a year of working with us."

After this, Ronald Powell sent me an email with the Employment Letter. The email was from " [email protected] ". The email contained four documents I was supposed to "print, fill, sign, scan and send it back".

Document 1: Background Check Authorization (asks to list my Social Security number, date of birth, name, address, phone number, driver's license number/state)

Document 2: Offer Letter (asks to list passport or driver's license/ID information and picture of these documents)

Document 3: Employee Direct Deposit Enrollment Form (asks to list name, signature, Social Security Number, bank information, bank account number, bank routing number)

Document 4: W4 Form Employee's Withholding Certificate

Once I saw this email asking for all this information, I had a feeling it was a scam. I didn't send any personal information (the information I gave to these people was what I listed from Monday, September 12, 2022). I blocked the two Telegram accounts and reported the email I received as phishing to Gmail.

After putting my resume on ziprecruiter, Haley Maples, a "recruiter" reached out to me via email about a position for Data Entry/ Administrative Assistant. We set up an interview time and day and I was told to download RingCentral to do the interview. It was done through messaging. At no point did I speak or see this person. I was then asked to provide my name, address, phone number and interview code at the end of the interview and to send it to [email protected]. I received an offer for the job and "HR" contacted me via email and attached the offer letters, hr.infirmaryhealth.works I've been asking for their phone number but then was directed to infirmaryhealth.org for more information.

I applied for a Remote Data Entry Clerk/Customer Service/ Admin Assistant position job online and was contacted a few days later by text message from Brenda Peterson from Polygon International AB. I was instructed to download an app called Signal to do an interview with the HR Manager Wendy Keur. I did as instructed and proceeded with the interview in the instant messaging app. After the interview ended I was informed that I was hired for the position that was currently remote until the physical office opens up in Killeen, Texas on October 2, 2022. I was sent an email that contained a new hire packet of forms to be completed and returned. I was sent cashier's check overnight for equipment that needed to be purchased. Upon receiving the checks I was informed that I needed to send payment to one of the companies vendors for the equipment needed for the position. I couldn't pull up any of the vendors they suggested to send payment via Zelle. However, when all the money wasn't made available I was instructed to go to the nearest Apple store to purchase Apple gift cards to use for payments. By the nearest Apple store being almost an hour and a half to two hours away she suggested that I wait until the following morning when all the money would be made available to obtain the gift cards. The next morning I saw that two of the cashier's checks was on hold until a later date. I figured this was more than likely a scam. When I contacted Wendy Keur via the Signal App and informed her of the issue she acted very confused and stopped all communications with me.

I received a text from a person in regard to a remote Data Entry Clerk position. I was asked to access TELEGRAM messenger app. I did ask if this was a legitimate job, of course she said 100% leg. Went through an interview with several questions that I answered and also sent my ID to them. An offer letter and employment form was sent for me to print and sign. Then check was sent to purchase office desk, software etc. from Telegram. I deposited the check into my bank account, a hold came on it. They then texted me to send a $300 Zelle in order to start immediately. I hesitated but sent it anyway since I thought I had a work from home job. Then was told I would receive a vendor tracking #. I never received that # and they ghosted me after telling them I want my money back numerous times. I was humiliated and ashamed so bad. I became frustrated and cried to relieve the stress. I notified my bank and reported them to my local police. I will never deposit a check again. Lesson learned. Still angry because they took advantage of me a senior and still to others. This is Evil.

Entered by ScamPulse.com Staff - LJ - 9-8-22

I think I was scammed. I thought I was getting a job opportunity but it turned out to be fake. I saw a listing on Facebook for a job with Anthem Insurance. I clicked on the advertisement. It took me to an actual website. Offering data entry clerk and sales consultant positions. They were urgently hiring. The job paid $19 hour. I downloaded an app to speak with the HR Department. Similar to Zoom. I sent a photo of my drivers license. I knew it was a scam after the interview. They needed my Facebook login to get on my account to see if my internet was strong. I did not give my Facebook information. I told her no. She stopped talking to me. Her name was Donna Jadetski. I could not speak directly with her due to privacy. I called Anthem Insurance. They said it was a scam. They recommended I call the Better Business Bureau. I did save screenshots. I did not pay any money.

This business is only paying employees when necessary by legitimate paychecks when they don’t want to report they pay. They pay their employees through Venmo or hands them cash. The employees are then having issues during tax returns bc it’s showing they’ve only made a small amount and cannot get any bank help bc of low income due to not getting legitimate paychecks. Entire staff has now left. Owner is hiring new staff under false hopes of being busy and lying about what they’ll be paid.

She is stealing photos from Pinterest and posting as her own work. The IRS need to look into her taxes as well. I can’t believe this business hasn’t been found out yet. Half the stuff she does can’t be legal.

Stolen photo below if your search green nails on Pinterest or just go to instagram

And search gel.bymeg the original photo/work is done by her

Contacted me via email about how they "recieved" my indeed application for a quality control position (which I have been applying to a bunch of jobs). Once they "accepted" me they gave me a link to a control panel where I can keep track of packages, my income, download shipping labels, and communicate with an HR manager. Well, the date of my payout (today) coincidentally my log in gives me an error of "wrong password/login". I've emailed the HR via my email but I am doubting a response. I also tried to reach out via their website but it also give me an error of "something went wrong. Please try again later". **** ***** ***** *** **** *** ************* ****. I recieved items such as cell phones, Gucci bags that I should've kept. Don't give these ******** any of your time.
