I applied to a job on LinkedIn called "Work From Home - Scheduling Assistant" with a company called "JaneTravels" ["Jane"/"Jane Doe" is a stand-in name for privacy]. They emailed me and asked that I attend an informational webinar before an interview or training. The email sent me to Calendly to schedule a time to attend the webinar. When I entered the webinar, they asked that everyone list their name along with the person who had invited them. I was asked to say that "Jane" had invited me - so "JaneTravels" was not the actual company. Throughout the session, they repeatedly mentioned that it was important to know who had invited us. The session started off by selling us on all kinds of perks and benefits - working from anywhere, multiple streams of income (including one that was semi-automatic and the presenter called "making money while you sleep"), lots of perks and free hotel rooms and even some free cruises. Later, the presenter informed us about some training fees, which she described as "investments." There were some one-time costs and some monthly fees. The costs were shockingly high, but they moved past the slide too fast for me to write it down. At the end, they sent us a link via email to "get started." It asked for personal information and payment info, and asked me to choose one of two options for training packages. The two options were listed as "EVO Bundle - $299.00" and "EVO Essentials - $89.99," but the descriptions seemed to say there would be monthly fees that were higher. The descriptions were vague and kind of confusing, so I may have misinterpreted (but I think they were intentionally vague, so people wouldn't realize what they were signing up for). I left the webinar and did not fill out any of my information.

A woman by the name of Rebecca Rogers will attempt to list a fake job offer under the business “Luxury Living Group.” Now this is a very real business with several locations in Italy and the US. She will send a certificate that is supposedly “stamped” by an official HR representative by the name of Francesca Migelli. They will offer you a salary of “$300 a day including commission,” but will not detail what your job role is nor your duties in that role. It all seems legitimate until you actually search up the email attached to the certificate. I reached out to the HR department of Luxury Living Group and they have confirmed that Rebecca Rogers is not an associate of theirs. This is fake job will be posted on reputable sites such as LinkedIn, Indeed, or ZipRecruiter with seemingly authentic credentials (but are absolutely fraudulent).

I was reached out by a 'recruiter' named Sarah Garrison via text message about a remote data entry position job opportunity. I was in communication with her back and forth via email after sending my resume and answering general questions, submitting a questionnaire, and completing a self-assessment test - all of it seemed legit as I went through excessive tasks. Once completing the test and submitting, it said I would hear back within a few days - instead got another text from Sarah Garrison the following day with a job offer letter from someone named 'Marshall Craig: Chief Operating Officer, Healthcare of Today' with all of these details enclosed. In the offer letter, they state that they will send you a check via email to mobile deposit to your bank - DO NOT BELIEVE - it is a scam ALL OF IT. The check was a red flag as there were multiple issues with it and the offer all seeemed too good to be true. When I decided to look up for myself to be sure that this was a scam, I came across that same EXACT offer letter with the same exact name of 'Marshall Craig' and everything else verbatim that was sent to me with the only exception of the recruiter's name change, from Glenn to Garrison. Please be aware of these scams as some of them you cannot make out if they are legit are not considering the extent that they go through to make it all believable. The company's name is Healthcare of Today Inc. and they will get you by texting, emailing, Telegram even so please be aware of these scams.

I recently applied for a job, they approved my position and I had to send all my information like SS, direct deposit form and everything because I was going to start the job. After that I stopped everything thinking in scam, but today I received a check for 4990 dollar to buy a laptop, phone and other stuff. Of course im not going to deposit that check.

Antway I called the bank and that back confirmed that, the check has found, and the routing and account number exist.

I applied for a position that was posted on LinkedIn, I immediately received an email response,saying the position had been filled, but, that based on my experience, I was a good fit for another position they had open. A link was provided to schedule an interview with the founder. The link provided to schedule a meeting through a Calendar app, led to a blank page that caused my phone to freeze and required me to restart it before it worked again.

I am currently unemployed and I was looking for jobs through LinkedIn and Indeed. The job came across LinkedIn and I applied for it through Indeed. The "CEO" reached out to me to have me schedule an interview through HR with Microsoft Teams. I went through the interview "process" and was "hired" the next day. I started onboarding with my ID/SSN which is typical of new hires. Then the HR person (William Snyder) informed me that they would be sending me materials needed to work remotely and that he was providing me "money" to purchase a printer/along with a $300 sign-up bonus. When he did not email me a W9 for tax purposes I became suspicious and started researching the company online. I could not find them anywhere, but I knew that I had applied for the position. Then he sent me a check for $4900, I looked up the address on the check to verify the company and it was a Landscaping Company. I called the bank on the check to verify the validity of the check, to find out the check was fraudulent.
