Claimed to be Backbone Business Solutions on LinkedIn. Remote Work. After paying $396 I realized I shouldn't have to pay for training, certifications and licensing. I cancelled and they are refusing to refund me. This is a scam. I have reported to my credit card company. Merchant REFUSES to refund me.

They asked for basic information and seemed legit but then wanted me to go right away and purchase an Apple gift card for $200 so they could “download” the necessary software on the equipment they were sending me.

Texted me about a job offer making $29 an hour, wanted to interview me via Microsoft teams. This was a WAH opportunity but they sent me a $4700 check to purchase programs and softwares which was confusing because usually companies supply that along with the equipment. Seems Fraudulent, I will Not be depositing any checks, I have Not received any equipment either. Was really looking for a Job and this is ridiculous to play with peoples hopes and dreams.

Using a false Linkedin profile of an actual company, Truveta, they posted a job for a Medical Coder. The job listing included the usual duties associated with the job. Several unusual things were the lack required certifications or experience. The job hours were "30-40 hours or however many you choose to do with complete flexibility."

The next day they contacted me via Linkedin to ask for an interview to be conducted over Microsoft Teams. The profile of the "interviewer" was Mrs. Deb Nielsen. The name title and picture match a person of the same name listed on the company website under leadership.

I had been given a "personal interview code" but they still needed to clarify which job I was applying for. They then resent the job description. They asked me a series of basic questions, like if can work in the US, pass a drug test, type 20 wpm. They then sent me a series of questions. Some typical interview questions like "Why are you the best person for this job" also less common questions like "What bank do you use?"

They said "This sounds interesting. You have performed well so far and appear to be an excellent candidate for the position at Truveta. I need you to stay online while I forward our conversations to the management team. They will assess your commitment and suitability for the role. I will provide you with feedback based on the board's outcome. Thank you for your patience."

Within 20 minutes they said they sent another message saying they were hiring me.

After that they sent a list of equipment they would provide and pay for supplied from "aproved vendors." At this point their information and instructions degraded a lot making no sense. The final message before I cut contact intructed that they'd deposit the money for the equipment into my account and that my training supervisor, who is supposedly flying across the country to meer me in person, would document the process.

They have my resume details, and someone tried to log into an old grocerystore account with a password that was part of a data breach a few years back.

I alerted the real Truveta company, if they care.

I was contacted by email regarding a research opportunity. I submitted my personal information and scheduled time on their calendar. The calendar had multiple openings and confirmed meetings to complete research but was told those were not real appointment times and I need to reschedule. This was done 3 times and one meeting was accepted only for me to be told they do not have openings to continue the research. I provided them with information I can’t get back and currently worried about my financials after all the data breaches and scams that occurred from 2021 till today. I feel they should have never reached out to me if they were not honoring the calendar meeting times which caused me to loose time at school and work.

The scammer tried to send me a check and have it deposited via ATM then withdraw the funds to pay the wardrobe, muah artists along with the place being booked. When the check did arrive it was mailed from a shipping company in florida with a company name from california and a back name from New Jersey which I found very odd.

I was looking for a part time job online, and applied for a remote job. They contacted through WhatsApp and explained that this "company" was to help retailers raise their ratings online. I agreed to continue and it was explained to me further how the process works. Each day you would log in and would have at least $100 dollars to spend (I got this through my manager's commission the first day, The second day I had enough to start), and then essentially pretend to buy products, and we got a commission from whatever the profits were. I was told about the lucky packages which gives us a higher commission. but most of the time we had to transfer money into the account. This was done through customer service. You would say "I would like to deposit on this account" and they would give you a address to transfer it too. What I wasn't told is that the address changes every so often, so I thought it was the same. I would copy the address and put it in and it would say duplicate of the one I had saved. At first it was only a couple hundred dollars, and I got it back. Then it was a thousand dollars. The last one was for $2050 usd which came up to $2,900 cnd. When I found out how much it was, I told my manager that I couldn't afford it, because that was all my money, but she insisted that it would be worth it. So I transferred the money. When I sent the proof to customer service they said that I sent it to the wrong address, and that they couldn't do anything. It had to go through the crypto currency app. When I told them that no it had to be the receiver that sent it back, they said there was nothing they could do. I told them I wanted to talk to a manager, and they said because I not a VIP, I don't have the ability to and that I should own up to my mistake, and accept the lost. I then talked to my manager, and she said that there was nothing she could do. I then talked to her manager, and he said that he couldn't help either. So now I've lost all of my money. I don't know if this company is legit or not, but in the terms and conditions it says that it is the right of the agent to handle claims and complaints and seek resolution (legal right and legal claims) {Section 2.7}

I had an account on the freelancer website Fiverr. Last Thursday, a person contacted me, first via fiverr and then by e-mail, saying that he was from KERN Global Translating and wanted me to translate a 100-page text from English to Polish. The task completion time was 2 days and the salary for completing the task was $5,000. I completed the task and sent the project to the manager for checking. When I completed the task correctly, the project manager transferred me to the company's accountant, who impersonated the famous German graphic designer Justus Oehler. I was supposed to get money from him for the project. At the beginning, however, he extorted $50 from me for a fake company ID that I had to create to get the money. Then he scammed me out of another $100 for an E-pin to the platform where I was supposed to get the money, to later withdraw it to his account. This platform was called Roller Crafter Pro. As it turned out later, it has the status of a scam. Unfortunately, I registered on this website and received a transfer from an unknown person for $5,150. $5,000 for the project, and $150 for the alleged refund for the e-pin and ID. I did not withdraw money from this platform for several reasons. First of all, to withdraw money you need to provide a VAT code, which is obtained from customer service and costs $150. Such methods are not used in normal financial institutions. Secondly, I don't know if the money is real. If I had withdrawn them they might not have gone into my bank account and then the fraudsters might have demanded a refund. It could also be a loan. I asked the website's customer service to return the money to the owner and close my account, but she does not respond and says it is impossible.
