I was contacted by email about a quality auditor position from a guy named Joshua C***** at Shopping Truth LLC. He sent me an employment application and agreement. I completed the agreement but not the application. He then said that a supervisor would contact me for further instructions. I received a call from a lady by the name of Olga Brown 404-382-0661. She said that I needed to complete a task on the website and then I would start to receive packages. I was told to go in the site and upload my working place of where the packages would be stored. I contacted the ScamPulse.com by phone because it sounded like a scam. I spoke to a representative that told me to go to the website and file a report.

So my advice for anyone who gets this scam is to go along with it and take a package that you would like to have for yourself I had a brand new iMac mini and an iPad Pro that I “inspected” and I just wish I woulda kept one of them but I didn’t lose any money just some time

Their response, "I get your number from databas., I will ask the person n charge (employer) to contact you and give you a briefing on the salary. After you understand the training, you can decide whether to accept it or not and continue learning, okay? I responded back that I believed this to be a scam and that I was reporting the Manatee County Sheriff's Department and the BBB. Their response, "No, I'm not a scammer, you can try".

First they contact you using WhatsApp and tell you that you can make money upto $200 per hour. Initially they gave you some money to build the trust and then on the name of combination task they ask you to put money in the account all the time until you get broke. I lost $10000. Please be aware.

Mrs Melissa Hammons 41 years of age from Boston MA been with the Santhera pharmaceuticals for 3 years and 4 months has an MA and a MBA and a BA They approached me through a text saying they received my resume and they wanted to interview me. a lot of these text offers come out on career builder. I had conversations about working from home I applied for a Data Processing job with her, went through an interview process on Microsoft Teams, sent me a contract says the pay would be $49.55 after training at $29.55. equipment would be sent then she sent me a check for $2980.00. I had to print and mobile deposit but this was what tipped me off, later I was supposed to send back first $500 by ZELLE (would not send because I was a new member of it) then $2700 of it first by a bank transfer then by a bank wire then with unsigned money orders. the bank refused to send the wire because the check had not cleared then the post office said not to send unsigned money orders which I knew at which time our power went out and I decided I had had enough. the check has not cleared yet I told Mrs Hammons to cancel the check and will change the account number tomorrow there are a lot of these types of jobs coming out on Career builder I think I have about 10 text messages saying our company wants to interview you. I have spent 2 to 4 hours on Teams with this woman and today 8 hours and I will not see a Penney for it. I really need a good job but this is stupid. Putting an unsigned money order in the mail is the same as putting cash in the mail. She constantly wanted me to let her know when I was at the bank or the post office She was constantly after me to do what she said. So back to my failing job search. I really hope someone takes these people down. I never spoke to anyone on the phone just the text and Teams. Please do not publish my name, personal information or address. A lot of Job searches are a scam and do not put any usable jobs out there. I see very few true jobs on these job sites.

I was sent an email to my university account email about a job offer for part-time with no experience necessary just a good personality and friendliness and persistence are required below. There was a button to register. It sent me to a link of Google forms to add my personal information, such as my first name my last name, my email and my home address and my phone number. Two hours later I received a text message of the person who is hiring called Graham Rossman. He told me I had to click the link that was sent to my personal email and that most likely it would be sent in my spam folder , he wanted me to confirm by replying to the email that he sent below. In that email there was an attached word document. In the document he showed my first task it said: in your capacity you’d be purchasing some toys and other gifts items for the orphanage homes I’ll be emailing you the list of all items to be purchased at the store and all the necessary information on how to get it mailed out to the orphanage homes, be providing the funds which you would use to purchase these items and the fund will be in a form of a cashiers check and it will be issued to you along with your agreed weekly allowance $750 as soon you receive the cashiers check you will deduct your weekly allowance $750 from it and the rest will be used to purchase gift items.

Do you know how to initiate a mobile deposit depositing a check with your phone, confirm full name what is your mobile deposit limit.

I instantly realized it was a scam and blocked the number and reported to spam. Another tactic in the first email that was sent to me which by the way was not sent from him. It was sent by another email. [email protected] to apply to this offer. In the google form it also explained the following: greetings MDC community I Mr. Graham Brosman, and I work as a clinical counselor for the department of disability of the United Nations international children’s emergency fund UNICEF I need a virtual various to help me manage my daily life and improve my productivity, provide individual and group therapy, coaching assessment and academic screenings to support students and individuals with disabilities physical, chronic psychiatric and invisible registered with UNICEF large serve by mental psychiatric disabilities or comorbid psychiatric disabilities and need mental support to be successful in addition with academic difficulties and no diagnosis are seen in excess through the academic screening assessment process.

Seen a job posting for a work from home job on Facebook, I commented on the post and soon got a DM in messenger that told me to download the signal private messenger app. I being cautious did my research and looked up the number +18106662306 and name “Brandi Coates” and found a similar experience on this website (bbb.org). Figured sharing my experience would gain this problem some attention.

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 name is Graham Rossman. The address on the check is 777 brickell ave #500 miami,fl 33131. 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 $3800 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 and resulted in the closure of all accounts under my name.

I man named Kevin phone number from UK (44) 7492249851 reached me through WhatsApp saying he got my name from indeed and offer me a job in a Company named XB-Software.cc. The job consists in making tasks. At the beginning it seems very legitimate. So you take 3 sets of 40 tasks and you keep getting commission from it plus they offer me a salary of $800.00 after completing 5 days of tasks. So I started doing it . They only used cripto money. When you get negative you need to settle to get your money back . I did settle couple times but then when I finally got may $800.00 I couldn’t withdraw all the money I had first to complete the task that is when it was to late I already had given them $4.500.00 . Now they are asking me to settle a $ 6,518.78 to withdraw my $4.500.00. I hope you guys catch this people .

All you need to do is pay $101 to get started. You get commissions and then they have this 2-3 random combinations in a set of optimization tasks. Tell them you don't have money and reply is always: "Hello, please don't worry that all your funds are in your personal platform account. Just complete 40/40 to withdraw all funds." This worked for about 3 days.

Go to complain and they keep saying: " We cannot handle it for you if the task is not complete. During the optimization process, data will generate fees, and the task cannot be canceled or skipped. Once the system task is completed, the system will return the funds and income, and then you can withdraw the funds and income from the account. Please follow the process to process your order." Three times I've been told this and will not give money back. They just want more money..
