I applied for a car wrap and received the check. Deposited in the bank and after days of processing it clreared. I transferred the money to cash app to pay the business then hours later my bank contacted me saying the check was fraud. I reached out to cashapp but they said the transaction was complete and nothing they could do.

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

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.

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”.

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.

There was a remote job posting on Facebook from a Kathy Maxey when I messaged about it I was told to download the Telegram App and was given the "HR Contact" https://t.me/JasonAverbook to conduct the interview. During the "interview" they they explained that they would provide all equipment and I just needed to provide my bank information so they could track my expenses LOL. I have attached some of the main screen prints from the conversation so you can see the type of information they were requesting.

I was emailed by this woman named Lisa George who was offering me a job as a data entry clerk that sounded a bit too good to be true. She had me sign an employment offer letter and everything. Then she wanted to move to telegram to talk and walked me through the hiring procedures. She emailed me a check to buy office supplies of $1900 the check never went through and my bank even charged me a fee. I contacted my bank and they told me the sender had insufficient funds. When I contacted her about this she ghosted.

The man who runs workhorse is a professional scam artist. He hires landscape workers, telling them they are w2 employees, withholds taxes, and then at tax season tell employees they’ve been self employed the entire time. He also doesn’t pay workers overtime which is illegal in MN.

The scammer said that he was a manager for a manufacturing company and asked questions about work history. The way he spoke "Do you understand" and only reply okay or yes. He asked for name mailing information to send me a check to get materials. After it was over I did research for a couple hours and I block him on the telegram app and blocked the person that sent the text about the job below.

This company reached out to me via Text Message, saying they received my Resume from Indeed, and that I needed to install Telegram for an interview. I immediately got an interview with the Vice President of HR Tony **********. After a quick interview, I was told the information was sent to the head office and to wait for 5 to 10 mins for a response. Got the response back that I got the Job. Tony explained that they would send a check that I would deposit into my bank and use it for equipment and software purchases to set up my home office. When confronted with questions about legitimacy, he could provide nothing other than a response of "This is 100 percent real and legitimate"

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.
