The scammer offered me and interview via facebook Chats, I agreed to the interview. I met with Ms Mallen A. Ramirez is what I was told. The offer was for full time\part time Data Entry Clerk. She explained I would work as a Facebook recruiter until I got my materials delivered in my mail. And that I would get paid on Friday for doing that. It was then explained that the company would provide a bunch of materials for the job and it would be delivered via Fed Ex including a W-4. And gave me a list of the materials I would need to start working. She took my full name, DOB, and Bank information. The company would provide me wit payments to buy a Visa Prepaid Card for the installation of the equipment before they were shipped. Then explained I would receive a check of 15,000 for the installations of all equipment and working materials for the remote position and I was told to deposit the check only through my banks ATM Machine. I was concerned I had no face to face, phone call or written proof the employer actually existing. I told the MS Romirez I didn’t feel comfortable putting a large check through my ATM and that the company could just send me a check themselves and I wanted proof of vendor and company legitimacy. I was sent the following website; Newegg.com. They then asked if I have a bitcoin machine around me. Sent me a link to locate one Link they sent me Libertyx.com

I have reason to believe the scammers intended me to deposit a large check which I then would purchase materials from said vendor and my account would be responsible for either money that they reversed from the check or I would have involved in money laundering, That is when the response stopped. I have screenshots of entire chats and the person I got the information from off from Facebook no longer has a profile.

I was reached out to a couple weeks ago from a lady claiming to be their HR rep. Interview was conducted through the Wire app and all correspondence was as well with a man named Richard. Over the two weeks I was asked to complete tasks including filling out an online employee contract, basic training for the administration assistant position , and lastly depositing a check that was shipped to me through FedEx from them into my bank account to be used for equipment and software needed for the job. The check went through and I was told to take a portion of it and through an online paying site send it to an online vendor in order to get the software. I did this and my bank was charged twice for the transaction which has since been reported to my bank. I do have screenshots of all of these interactions on the apps, emails, and my bank. When confronted in the Wire app, they did not respond after I asked them to provide their company receipt for writing out the check they sent to prove that the check was real.

I was messaged by a company to become a brand ambassador (as I have done many times before with my work/online persona). They offered a percentage off for product to get started in return for a personal discount code to earn commissions. I purchased a pair of boots at $190 and received an email saying the shipment was on its way. After 6 months I began emailing the company to ask where my shipment was; they assured it was on its way. After year 1, I became very frustrated because they were posting other ambassadors with their gear, I began to write comments and reviews about them being scammers, they continued to delete my reviews and comments, and then completely ignored my emails. NOW it’s almost 3 years later and I’m getting messages again about becoming a “brand ambassador” again for them. I messaged them again now with my invoice and they respond with “we apologize for the inconvenience, your order is on the way” …seriously, these people need to be held accountable for their lies.

After appliance a job on, indeed I received an email and took an assessment quiz. I received emails from [email protected] and [email protected] both claiming to be from different departments in the company. I was asked for my photo ID and I sent that. I was sent an employment contract and signed and returned it. I put in my two weeks notice and quit my job. Then I found out it was a scam. Please warn people. I found both of the individuals on LinkedIn and they both are actual Plastikon employees making the scam seem legit.

I transferred the money to cash app to pay the business then hours later my bank contacted me saying the check was fraud.

I was approached through email about a job opening that matched my resume. I was told to reach out to their hiring manager “Mark Jordan” to inquire about a Graphic Design position. I reached out to “Mark” and went through an hour and a half (Skype messaging) interview. The questions asked were in depth and didn’t show much sign of fraud, but when I went further into researching the company, I soon found out that it was fraud, and an elaborate one at that. The next day I was contacted (through Skype messenger) that I was selected for the position. They offered a high paying hourly wage and promised to send “working materials” including a lap top and software to complete my tasks. When I started questioning the legitimacy of the company, “Mark” called me through Skype Audio, and it did not sound like a professional, let alone a hiring manager for an international company. They supposedly have a home office in the UK, and one in the US. I then asked for a land line number for the company (to speak with whom ever would become my supervisor) and they gave me a bogus phone number to call, that no one answered. They were trying to get me to sign a direct deposit form, as well as an offer agreement that seemed highly skeptical. I never sent them any of my personal information, but the scam was so in depth that it was hard to tell if I was passing up an actual opportunity. They even refused to tell me exactly what my duties would be as a Graphic Designer with the company, stating that I needed to be hired before they would go into detail. In order to be hired, I was required to send over personal info. I declined, and they have ceased all communication.

I worked for this business. If they mess up shorting the money they give you, they pull it out of other employees paychecks to pay you the rest. Always shorting people hundreds of dollars. Some of the managers got put on the servers tip pool so that the servers would be paying them their hourly in which the establishment made up the difference so they didn’t have to pay them.

I was able to look up the company and I had received emails from more than one person and one of the contacts had a union stamp on the bottom of his email I was able to look up the union I could verify their location in California the actual company itself is based out of Switzerland it’s an engineering group for the railroad company so it made sense that it was union and some of the benefits however it has been rather suspicious since then first they wanted to send a paper check and I told him I couldn’t do that and then they were going to send it through an account and I did fill out a W-4 in and some other government forms it did seem legitimate so they already had my information from those and I was planning on setting up direct deposit so I didn’t think about giving them any information as a bad sign in and actually since then they have paid both for my previous credit card debt and a previous phone bill in an attempt to get me set up for office equipment however they also had me buy a gift card to purchase software after they had cleared my Chase account and this is where it gets fishy because the money w[censored]d off that gift card and they kept trying to get me to exchange it for another one and I mean it already seemed fishy on buying gift cards in the first place but now I’m worried because they also were trying to purchase my office equipped my cell phone and iPad under my name through the Verizon account that they cleared I don’t know so far I haven’t lost anything but I don’t know if this is a scheme that I’ve never heard of

A person by the name of William Carter, from TaskUs company, sent a text message to me stating that their recruitment team reviewed my application online for the data entry clerk position. The interview is conducted through Telegram and was asked to add @patrickTaskus. A Patrick Walker comes on the chat and has me introduce myself, explains the job and what I would do, shares the company website with me, then has me answer 10 questions. Once completed, he asks what bank I use, tells me that I got accepted and begins explaining more about the job description. Explains that I would need to find certain supplies (Macbook, certain data program, etc) and that they will supply certain supplies and needed my address to send it to me. Never asked for money, just wanted me to return back the next day to continue the briefing with the secretary. I never gave out any further information- only my name and address.

I was contacted through text message by someone claiming to be Sheila Melinda from the company CGG where she told me she saw my resume online and asked if I’d be interested in a remote customer service position paying $35/hr. She then had me download Microsoft Teams which to my understanding is a very popular website used in the remote world. I then was asked to send a code through Microsoft Teams and got in contact with someone claiming to be Dechun Lin who is listed as an employee on the official CGG website, so I assumed it may be a real opportunity. After my “interview” which consisted of typing answers to questions about my work history, experience, and things of that nature he informed me I was hired and asked me for my full name, email, home address, and cellphone number. I did not give anything other than my full name and the state that I live in, and explained I would not be comfortable sharing such personal information without having proof this was a real job opportunity and not a scam, especially when I had never even talked with anyone over the phone or on a video chat. I have yet to receive another message, and whoever is posing as Dechun Lin has not been online since I messaged them telling them I would be sending an email to the official CGG website, and reporting them as a scam. I do have all texts and messages sent from both “Sheila” and “Dechun”.

I was approached regarding a data entry/customer service job offer. The original email stated based on my resume I qualified for the position. Said to download an app called Signal and to text a specific number for further information. I checked the company website and the company seemed legit so I proceeded. I started noticing grammatical errors but brushed it off since it was over text. But everything was rushed, I was sent an online form to fill out and was told I had 15 minutes to do it. They said they’d pay for the software and equipment needed since I’d be remote. Then the offer letter was sent to a completely wrong email address which was another red flag. I was able to the call the company in the morning via the phone number off the website. I was told it is a scam and they’ve been getting calls about it. I did more digging on the website and they position that I was being offered is not actually a position the company is offering right now.
