I was looking up Hannah Polston from flexjobs and I found a review with the same message I got last night, and its the same one as the 1st message in this forum. Unfortunately I responded politely to learn more about the opportunity, thinking this would be good, now I'm worried that I'm being scammed.

I received a text message from someone claiming to be a recruiter for flex jobs which is identical to the text message that is posted on here already. I was asked if I was interested and I was curious, so I said sure, and they said the interviewer would be reaching out to me on WhatsApp. They did reach out to me, and I am no longer engaging, but they went onto describe the working conditions of a job with Airbnb.

Subject contacted me as Hannah Polston of Flexjobs offering a gig for website optimization for "Stared Hotels" that required no professional experience and paid up to $200 for a 30 minute work period. The subject confirmed I was registered to Whatsapp, and am now on the list for an interview promising $30-80 to take the interview which has not happened at this time.

I applied for a data entry position for this company on LinkedIn directly, not through a third party hiring. Everything about it seemed a legitimate company I had really high hopes. Bruce Marsh reached out to me via text, and after verifying that he was who he said he was on LinkedIn, we continued. The interview was hardky anything and he emailed me an application to fill out. After I sent him this email with the completed documents he said that he was doing to email me a check of $4500 and I can keep the $1000 for my first payment and then he'll tell me what to do with the rest of it. I told him that I am uncomfortable with doing such as I have been scammed before and he "assured" me I wasnt being scammed or going to get hurt at 1am EST. Which...odd word choice. The following morning I get another text message from him that he's in the hospital and really needs me to do this for him but now the amount of the check he was going to send me was only $2,500 and I would need to distribute the rest via Zelle. I've been victim of these cash a fraudulent check and distribute money that isn't real before. I blocked his number.

I did not apply for the position, i had never even heard of the company beforehand. When I looked up the company to try to find information about them, the website was very generic and non descript.

The person sent this job to the university that I attend, and outlook did not mark the email as risky, so I though it was safe. They used a company that is widely known for good deeds/actions. The scammer's google account name is Marquez Tate, but real name is Graham Rossman. The address on the check is 4301 W Boy Scout Blvd Suite 600, Tampa, FL. The check was signed by someone named Susan Der and the last letter is a d. He said that his wife was having surgery in Australia, so no interview. He said we needed to start right away, the first thing I had to do was deposit a $2800 check into my bank account (I would keep $750 as pay and the rest would go to whoever he told me too). The check as determined by the bank was fraudulent. What was not helping with the situation is that I was dealing with and still dealing with another scam.

I saw an advertisement of online work from home with walmart galobal tech company where you have to do add the item in your cart and send screenshot to the mentor and they pay you for that and there is another task is that you have to create virtual order with your money and and you will get the 10% commission for that.

So in beginning, i created virtual orders for the items cost10$, 50$ and then 300$. After that a gift showed on the Walmart app and i clicked that, then my mentor said that i have to the premium task where he aked me create virtual order for an item that costs almost 1800 usd. After doing the premium task, i tried to withdraw my all money from Walmart app to my exchange wallet but it didn't go through and then walmart customer service said, i need to varify my identity. Then i uploaded my passport on the Walmart app. After verification of my id, still i couldn't withdraw money. Then Walmart customers service asked me to put more money to make my Walmart account stable ( https://walmart-global.vip/#/tabbar/user) and i did that. After that when i tried to withdraw my money again , they said your exchange wallet ( tp wallet) is unstable for huge amount and my money got stuck in the blockchain, then they said you need to put same amount in the wallet to make it stable and this time they helped with half amount and so....on ..the same thing happened third time ..still i didn't get my funds and i lost near about 14 thousand canadiand dollars.

And now they are saying that i have to pay tax that is 5 thousand dollars something.. then they will provide me company's technician, who will help me to withdraw my funds from the blockchain of tp wallet. But i have told that i don't have anything left , still my mentor is texting me asking me to prepare 1500 usd and he will help me with rest to pay the taxes. That's how he wants to get more money from me.

Every time the money i put for virtual tasks and the stabilization of accounts , i had to change it to the US currency and they provided me the sellers from where i bought the US dollars.

They have literally made me mentally sick. I am so stressed because i don't have anything left. I have expenses as well as i have to return the burrowed money to the people. Please help me to get my money back. I joined this job because i thought it's legitimate as it says Walmart. I really need help, i know it is not a big deal for you but it was my hard work and i really need money. Please help me??.

I applied for a remote job on glassdoor the contacted me to download the ap signal and from there we did a virtual interview they told me i was hired. They needed my addresa to send a check to buy the equipment for training the bank i used. They gave instructions on how ti deposit the check plus q 250.00 sign on bonus and will instruct later how to pay the vendor they use. They also sent me a job contract to sign for human resources. The job description was for data input.

IT was a " add" on Facebook. I was looking for a work at home option, so I contacted them, first leading to an encounter with a recruiter called "Andrew Carver" on around Jan 2, 2024, and later dealing with (for training) someone called "Dr. Alan Carson" with whom I mostly dealt. They sent me a check for 10K and tried to make me deposit it, so I could pay back 8K for "equipments" I needed to buy. Since this turned out to be imposssible (and I now know the check is not good) I was instructed to open a new account at DCU (Digital Credit Union) and when I did, they deposited 2300 in as a first payment. My account was frozen, and I contacted fraud prevention there. Turns out someone withdrew 500, then the 2300 bounced, leaving me with -500. Carson feigned ignorance of course, and offered to fix it, but never did and never intended to. I had been onto them for some time and eventually called them out but never gave them more money or information. They likely have some personal info and $500 though, which I can damage my credit since I cannot pay DCU at present. They communicate first through FB Messenger and then move the conversation to Skype. THey chat but never video. They have more or less disappeared but still have the fake check and all the conversations.
