I applied for a work at home job with Coast Professional Inc., in regards to an employment ad on SimplyHired.com. I got interviewed by Coast Professional, and they did background checks and told me to come pick up my computer for the FEMA work at home job that paid $15/hr + 4.24/hr for wellness benefits. I picked up the computer at their Geneseo office, and I was treated like I was helpless by Sarah Q.

I figured she did this because I have grey hair, and am 61. I am highly competent and computer literate from many years as a software engineer, but this is the worst employment situation I have ever encountered by far. After picking up the computer a week goes by and I have still yet to get a training start date. Keep in mind I gave my 2 week notice when they told me to pick up the computer. I email them about my concern about my start date, and my current job only having 1 week left, and I receive a call from Jeff Jopling telling me I didn't get the FEMA job after all, but they can offer me a job for 13.72/hr + 4.24/hr for wellness benefits and with this job I won't be trained by Coast professional, but by the company this job is for. I am now offered a job that pays less than the job I am leaving, and feel forced into taking this job. It sure sounds like bait and switch to me. I send Jeff Jopling an email voicing my dissatisfaction with Coast Professional, and tell him I'm not interested in the lower paying job. I receive a call from a higher up HR employee today trying to smooth things over, but showing no empathy for the position they put me in, and saying he might be able to find me a position, but it won't pay the $15/hr + 4.24/hr for wellness benefits. I tell them it has been a terrible experience and I am no longer interested. I will now see if it's too late to keep my current job.

It started with a text message saying they where very interested and wanted me to join their team. They had me do an online survey, this turned out to be my interview. (Never talked to anyone on the phone yet). The next day after taking the test I got another text message saying they wanted to offer me a job. Stephanie had me download Telegram so we can communicate with the next steps, I downloaded the App. From here is where is got weird. Stephanie send me a "welcome" Video and she seemed to be reading from a script and couldn't keep eye contact . Next she wouldn't answer basic questions like, " how much will be deducted for benefits?" She ignored me. Then she sent me a check Via my Email (This was for computer and a printer) She told me to print the check out cut the check very neatly sign the check and then send me a picture before you submit it to your online mobile banking app. I was not comfortable doing this so I told her I would prefer the company to send me the lap top and printer. Now she wont reply to me. . . . They took my full name, DOB, Address, and just the name of my bank. How do you avoid this kind of thing ?.... Man. Yes their website looked a little fishy should have know right there that it was ti good to be true. On to the next job application . .

Hello. I am not 100% sure this is a scam, but as a retiree from the financial services industry, my knowledge and experience leads to me to think it's very likely. After numerous exchanges by email and after visiting a link, they arranged a phone interview. During the call, asking for more information on what the job entails, I was told I would be processing payments for the business. Of particular interest was during the first 2 weeks or so during training, I would be given corporate funds and I would facilitate transactions through my own personal accounts. At that point I informed them I thought that was highly irregular, at which point the interview ended. This whole affair would be a no no as far as I see, and likely breaches rules regulations regarding money laundering. However, I leave it up to your organization to decide. I just thought it would be wise to share. Thanks in advance.

Copy of early email below:

First for telephone interview you need apply for this position at this link:

I was offered a position as Supply Chain Operator. The supervisor said that I would receive packages and that I would need to check

the contents, then ship the product out with a prepaid label that was provided by the company. The position was to pay 2500 a

month with the ability to get bonuses based off work performance. After a month of working for them and sending out requested

packages I contacted my supervisor to ask about compensation since I was not paid yet. My message were sent but I received not

response, I tried writing an email to contact them and still no response . I attempted to call but each time the phone went straight to

voicemail. The thought of some of my personal information being collected is very unnerving and I would hate to have anyone and their family go through what I experienced. At this point I just want to report this issue so nobody has to go through this again.

The scammer appeared very professional, offering a work from home job and payment for services.

Texted through an app called telegram to help hide their identity.

Refused to establish phone calls with me as I was not "eligible". The Almirall website said they conduct phone interviews when this was primarily done through text.

They won’t stop harassing me with a “job offer” but also can’t provide more information when I ask questions about it. I’m told to google it but they won’t tell me what to google. They’ve been calling and texting from multiple phone numbers and more than one person has been emailing me.

The job itself is not described in full by anyone. The promotional process is outrageously quick paced and feels more like a pyramid scheme. To clarify they are not asking for personal investment. The company has only existed for one year, yet totes many connections they claim to have. The link to their website on indeed also redirects to a bitcoin site.

Started as a text message to earn money $500.00 a week advertising their product on the door of your car. Then I heard nothing else, till a flat rate envelope arrived with a check enclosed for $3,150.55 from a company I never heard of. Then I received another text to my phone with instructions to deposit check taking $ 500.00 out plus $100.00 for gas money and then send the balanced WHEN requested to the car specialist that would design the door plaque/sign for my door.

I was told I was hired as a package inspector and I did work for them for a few weeks, but trying to get someone on the phone or to respond to an email was like pulling teeth. They kept asking me to fill out a W-4 form, but because of the experience I was already having with them I did not. I voiced my concerns about the company being legit and the way business was being handled and they said oh well you can work for a while first to make sure you’re comfortable before providing the W-4. They also provided me with a employee identification number to verify through the IRS site and what looked like some legit legal papers to prove legitimacy. Thankfully I didn’t give up my social security number or bank account info. Sadly they do have my number, address, id, and email. The picture is where I had to login everyday to report package info and where they posted packages to be inspected and shipped. As the payday started approaching I was no longer able to log on and no one will answer calls, text, emails, etc. I also want to add that I was sent to pick up packages from Fed Ex by the company, but the package fid not have my name on it so Fed Ex would not release it to me. I reported this to the company and they sent me back with authorization letters that included the id of the person who’s name is on the package, a note stating I have permission to pickup, and they were also notarized. Fed Ex still did not accept this and would not release the packages. This was another red flag for me. I believe they knew I was on to them because I was very upfront about my concerns with them.

The scammer sent me an email on 10/8/22 about a remote job opportunity for Data Entry Assistant and said they received my application from LinkedIn and they wanted to schedule an interview for Monday 10/10/22. I accepted the invite and chose 12pm for the interview. They confirmed with instructions for the interiew and a welcome letter on what looked like company letterhead which included more info about the job, benefits, compensation and equipment listed for the job. The instructions were to download an app called Ring Central in order to do the interview. I assumed it would be on video and discovered it was done on the messaging/chat side. They immediately explained the interiew through long messages, gave more info about the job and asked 9 interview questions that had to be answered in a reply. I sent my answers and they said they would contact me the next morning which they did email an offer letter to me and onboarding instructions. I accepted but asked how does the process with getting the equipment work because what I read sounded suspect. They replied stating the company would mail the equipment to me. I followed the instructions for the "Home Office Registration" which included giving them my home address and cell phone number. Next, they instructed me to do an assessment which turned out to be to write an essay 400-800 words in response to an interview question: What administrative mistakes have you made in the past and what did you learn from it? Once they received that they said I would be compensated $100.00 for my time and I will receive a start up check in order to purchase the equipment. I received an email today with a long list of instructions and a pdf attached of a check front and back for $4,950.00. The instructions said to print, sign and add Direct Deposit only and deposit as an mobile deposit to my bank then wait for further instructions. I did not respond to that email. I immediately called my bank to tell them what was going on and they confirmed it was a scam. I deleted the Ring Central app and reported the last email I received with the check attached as Spam on my gmail account. I called the company and actually spoke to the woman from the emails and she said they are aware of the scam and that they have been getting a lot of calls for the past week about it. They added they do not have a job opening for a Data Entry Assistant. I reported to the scam dept of my bank with the check attached. I will report to LinkedIn and the other job sites I am on.

I been looking for a work from home job and was contacted about wrapping my car with a company logo and they would pay me $600 a week, I decided to go for it and they sent me a check before they wrapped my car. So once I received the check I notice it didnt sound right because no one came to wrap my car. They asked me to deposit the money and send some back to them but I think its a scam
