Kirsten Dickson, HR for Aldevron LLC, from Davenport, Iowa. Using email and Microsoft Team to communicate, had Evelyn Herrero-Rodriguez, from Toa Baja, PR 00950-1156 issued a check of $9864.00 to purchase computer equipment and mini office. Insist using mobile banking to deposit the check, and money order. The check was deposited by a bank teller at the local bank branch, because do not believe in mobile banking and the funds was not available, within 24 hrs. it was under investigation, and returned due to bad check. It did not sound right from the beginning, because all communications were done by typing on Microsoft Team, no video, no talking, was not able to see or hear. Not your conventional communication interviewing. This was a red flag in my friends' book and mine. She ensures me that it was normal, and it has been tested. Since the fund was returned, the scammer (Kirsten Dickson and her/his team was not able to get the money). I ended all communication and shut down Microsoft Team. Lesson learned. Almost a victim.

- Fargo, ND, USA • Jan 26, 2024

It was a job listing that I wanted to apply for a work from home job. When we got to the contract/ agreement there were errors on the contract verses what we chatted back and forth about on Teams Meetings. The chat went on for 2 days and then the contract was sent.

It did not list the correct wage for the training period, so it was revised and resent to me. Then I noticed with that one the position I applied for was not correct, so it was revised once again. when the 3rd revision was sent, I became more uneasy with the process and contacted the ScamPulse.com to inquire. As we spoke more and more red flags became apparent so I did not sign any agreement with this company.

Thank you, BBB, for saving me from a scam.

I received an email from Nicole Cook offering an interview via Zoom. I had previously received similar emails & texts messages with this format (they contact me directly, I had not submitted an application to their company), and they wanted me to purchase the equipment with funds that they would send to my account. Because of the previous experiences, I did not respond to the email. A few hors later I received a text from Sarah George offering the say interview process. Again I did not respond. I feel it is important to pass this information on because in this instance as well as the prior experiences they all said they obtained my information from my profile on CareerBuilder.

As it appears all offers that have been presented to me in this manner were on CareerBuilder I am deleting my account & profile with CareerBuilder.

When I replied that the job they sent me was way below where I am in my career, they replied with a list of other open positions they had which were higher up and higher paid and asked me to download the Signal App, which is when I did a web search.

I am looking for a job and applying online.

On Jan 8, 2024, I received a message on whatapp from a person names Abigail (+1 470 429 9193)

Abigal told ;

(Hello, I am Abigail, a recruiter from Career1 Employment Recruitment Agency. I got your number from the employment site. We have flexible remote roles that might interest you…. And the job from the Canada.) Please look at the attachment file.

On Jan 12, 2024, I received a message on whatsapp from a person called Aaliyah her number (+1 917 443 9376). From Global-bestchoice.com company. She said she is living in Toronto. And she would train me to be data developers to make optimizations for the hotels system online. The first step will learn how to do the optimization for the data online by clicking chick-in for the hotels to develop the optimization appearance for the hotel online through searching.

She trained me online to understand the processes for the first two days and paying me us$100 that deposited online for the global-bestchoice.com company to be able to start buy the chick-in for the hotels. The salary will be us$900 per week and %0.005 commission from every success click. I started on Monday 15, 2024, every day there are three tasks with 40 chick-in for every task to buy and back the money with the commission %0.005 from the price of the chick-in. If we start we could not stop and withdraw the amount. There is no any risk through trading and buying chick-in. The only risk when buying a little high chick-in that will appeared negative amount. If I started with $300 trading, the expected negative amount between $65 to $150 which I can afford it.

On Friday 19 , 2024 , I’ve started with the amount of us$350 that what I got from all days with the training amount and I deposited ca$110 to increase the commission amount. When I was in the last task, the company deposited $75 as a gift for the anniversary and during the task the company deposited $900. Which that make very high to me to buy the chick-in with my limited budget. The amount will become around $1400 and that caused very high negative amount.

The first negative amount happened at the step 14 and I had to deposit to the company to be able to continue the task. I got all my money to deposit us$547.4 and transferred it to this site. And suddenly at the step 39 another negative amount appeared with negative, and I took a loan from the bank credit line to be able to finish the task, and I’ll return back all the money after finishing the task.

But the system of the company deposited the last amount without confirm I paid and bought the chick-in and make the step 39 is pending as I did not deposit any thing to release the money to be able to do the last step. The system is not active and not confirm the process as I did nothing and jump to the last step with another third high negative amount -us$1547.54

This problem is a technical problem and should be fixed by the company but they do not care and refused to offer any solution. And according to the rules of the site any technical problem is there responsibility but the company does not care and refused the confirm I did and paid for the step 39 . The company should confirm this step to release the money with the commission to be able to do the last step . But the company left the step 39 is pending and that means I did not pay any thing and the system frozen the amount as not paid. Moreover the system add negative third amount which impossible to me to pay that.

They refused to solve this problem which is their responsible. I suggested many solutions to them but they don’t care and frozen my money that I got on Friday around us$3250.64

They refused to fix the system to release my money and refused to confirm the step 39 that I paid and showed is pending and the money is frozen by the site because the step 39 is not confirmed by the system. They refused to deposit the negative amount and they can withdraw it after finishing from the last step.

They only replied from their side to pay the negative amount which is very high to me and that amount is the responsible of the company because of their system and because the deposited the salary through I was doing the task which make the commission is a little high and at the same time the negative amount is very high to me.

Th Global-bestchoice.com company hired me as a trainer, but it seems it is a fraud and scam company. I worked with them for 5 days and they froze all the money that I got through doing the trade for the company and optimization data for the hotels. Their system is failed to confirm the process that I did and frozen my money. They requested to deposit more money to their site to allow me to withdraw my money. They scam and steal from me us$3250.54 and requested from me to deposit for their system us$1547.64 to release the amount.
