I am on Indeed looking for a job and I applied for a remote proofreading position. I received an email saying I was chosen for an interview and when I participated in it, it was done via chat on Microsoft Teams. I was also sent an offer letter via email, but no one ever spoke to me in person. I believe they were trying to get me to purchase expensive computers, printers, etc to work from home, and then they would "reimburse me."

Hello, i am writing you to report a fraudulent website, Neareco.com. I was contacted through a "soliciter" on WhatsApp about this way you can make money, by just "clicking" They convinced me to put $200 into their system. i finished the 40 "clicks" and they payed me $320... it seems like a great way to make money doing nothing.. right?

I just need to transfer USDC from Crypto.com to their HASH, and they fund my account (with my money)

I continued this process about 5 times, each time the dollar amount i would invest, would get higher.

You will hit a "combination" that will pay you 5% commission, instead of .05%. they are combined with 2-3 jobs.

Once i put $580 in, hoping i could get out of this, making alot of money. I hit a combo... i had to put in $2,300....

I hit another combo.. $7,500..

im praying i can finished the 40 jobs... be done... and close out. im at 39/40 right now. and i hit ANOTHER COMBO... and they want $15,000.00... I am chatting with bots through an app that is registered out of The Netherlands. they have phone numbers, but they are all VOIP numbers. (like google voice)

i got shafted. i tried to negotiate with them. they will not remove the combination.

They want to drain my checking account. they want $980, to turn into me paying $25,000+ There is no way to ensure i will get paid out. it is simply a money laundering scheme.

I have contacted BSO, but they are slow to communicate. I want this to be communicated to homeowners around the country, because an unknown person like me may fall into this poison of "hoping you can just pay, to get out"

i want my $10,000+ back, so i can move on and live my life.

Maybe if you advertise this, it will make BSO, or the FBI become aware of this, so we can prosecute.

Grandson responded to a job offer in Utah coming from indeed from A AFFAIRS LLC and was sent a check from Banc of CALIFORNIA dated April 8th 2024 for the amount of $5,450.00 for items needed for working at home. Example - laptop - printer - etc. and they have called him numerous times asking if he has cashed the check yet?

they offered a job, looking like a legitimate job offer with website and multiple location address. I doubted it when they asked me to join telegram for communication. So, I checked the location they listed on google maps and also tried calling them on all the communication channel. I couldnt get any answer. I asked the next day to the person named Lucy Quartarone, pretending to be HR manager. She simply blocked me.

On LinkedIn, someone claiming to be a CEO of a Revenue Cycle Management company contacted me. While I have been in healthcare software a long time, I have never held an executive title. I do have lots of contacts with executive titles along with a few providers who follow my page. Roshan said he was impressed with my background and wanted to connect to collaborate and get my insight on the industry.

I agreed and gave him my cell and email. I know in hindsight not smart.

I told him it needed to be the next day. I don’t care what kind of title you claim to have if you contact me unsolicited and I do not have a clue who you are, I am researching you before we connect.

On the surface their website looks legit.

They have a CO address for head quarters. I googled it. A shipping company is at that address. They have a few P.O. Boxes but had never heard of BillingScapes.

The phone number on the website has a Las Vegas area code. I called it. Gentleman answered like you would a personal cell phone and not a business. I advised I put in the incorrect number, apologized and hung up.

They cover 32 specialties on the website all with vague testimonials accept for 3. For those 3, they identified their clients as Dr. Jones, Dr.Smith and City Imaging.

I went back and asked the CEO a few questions on LinkedIn private message.

They said they only have 14 clients in NY, NJ and FL.

I asked if there were any located in a specific city in FL because it is near me. That would make it easy for me to confirm a client. They said they only had 1 in FL in Wellington and it was a 1 doc practice. He said he couldn’t give me their name for privacy and why was I asking because he might be able to get permission. Offered me not a single name if a client after I replied they know exactly why I would ask and will not take a risk at meeting and risking the safety of providers and patients because the fact they would not provide a name made me suspicious. I even apologized for offending him if I was wrong. The response was to remind me of 2 HIPPA rules I should know and he wished me well. He then blocked me and canceled the email invite I was sent. He deleted all his messages to me although I have a screenshot of a few. Interestingly, he unblocked me long enough twice to delete the messages and view my page one more time. I now have them blocked or so I hope.

If you look through the specialty page, you will find 3 or 4 clients referenced in cities in Florida and not just 1. Also, one of them is the very city I asked him . Remember, they reached out to me to collaborate. So why would you not be completely open? Also, why wouldn’t you push back to prove your identity. A friend verified they are listed out of India and website is less than 2 years old. They claim to have helped a client as large as a hospital in South Florin their billing. How would a brand new RCM company get someone that large to trust them with their cash flow?

You could leave much of what I shared and almost certainly verify they are fake. Located in CO, phone number in Las Vegas and clients all on the east coast in 3 states. They only provide 3 very vague client names. Every vendor gets permission from someone for a testimonial. Look at almost any RCM vendor or any EHR, etc and there will be one if they are legitimate.

In case you do not know, Revenue Cycle Management is billing for claims through clearinghouses like Change Healthcare who was recently attacked. These people whom ever they are never expected me to research and ask questions up front.

I have also reported to the terrorist tip line but want to be certain someone takes it seriously and investigates ASAP. If I am wrong, no harm. If I am right, this group went to a lot of trouble to set up a fake website, email, phone number and possibly 6 employees pages on LinkedIn. Thanks
