They identified themselves a data entry position. The website looked legit. Even sent a letter of employment and W-4 forms which I signed and sent out, along with social security number. They then told me they would be sending me equipment and monitoring my time through my smartphone. in order to do so they would need my account access and purchase the equipment through my account. That's when I got suspicious.

I thought it was a job interview. She asked for my name, if I had a bank, my address then asked me to pay for software.

I got a text saying they found my resume on Indeed and invited me for an interview, but I’ve never applied for this job. I looked up the company name, Appello Pharmaceuticals, and I found other people saying they had been contacted and this is a scam to get personal information, such as banking information and social security numbers.

Received this text: I see you are looking for a job right?

My Answer: Hello who is this?

Number: I am Karin from BSSP Advertising Media Network Marketing Center, we are looking for part time and full time employees, our job is simple, do you have time to listen to my brief introduction for you?

Thinking this was a woman my mentor had told me she gave my contact info to in the marketing field, I reply: Hi Karin, my name is [name]! Did [name] give you my contact information? And yes, I do have time.

Then I decided to search up the company as I felt a little weird about the interaction, saw these articles.

I filled out an application via Zip Recruiter and was sent a message through the app. I was then contacted by a person who interview and trained me via phone. The lady informed me that I was to send the front and back of my ID as well as my direct deposit information to an email, [email protected]. She was to also send me the I9 information through text. I have been in talent management and recruiting for a few years, so red flags started to go up. When she sent the I9 information, it was a screenshot. Even more red flags. I never sent my information because I did not trust it. I wanted to speak to the hiring manager to ask questions because some things just did not add up. When I was supposed to train with the hiring manager, they mentioned there would be a zoom orientation but it was zoom audio only. I never received last names of any of management. When I decided to question the red flags through text, he attempted to call me but I did not answer. I had already done research on the business name and address listed on the site and saw that the business did not exist. After me questioning whoever the person is, they told me that I didn't seem committed and that they will be moving on. I told them I knew heir business was not real.

I was offered a job that seemed too good to be true. I saw reviews online about how photographers didn’t show up or how people were unhappy with their photos or experience. This is a newer online company. I was hired and trained poorly. My “training” videos were lengthy video calls between people which consisted of gossip and unnecessary work information. I have noticed this company has a pattern of hiring people, having them do work, then firing them on the spot with no pay. I had a client that said they had four different people reach out to them that had my role. I felt like it was a red flag. The compass wanted me to screen share and get access to all of my information. I trusted them. Right before I was fired, for no reason, all of my stuff was logged out through my computer and I was blocked. It felt like a premeditated transaction. I had realized a lot of their clients didn’t get photographers that their contract said they’d get. And they brushed it off while mocking and making fun of people who were scammed by them. I felt unsure of the business but the pay was good, or so it seemed. I felt like they used me and knew that that was the plan the whole time. They didn’t put much effort into training because I didn’t feel like they wanted to waste time because I was going to be let go shortly after I completed a months worth of work for them. They didn’t have me complete any legal documents but expected me to work full time hours. I felt used and manipulated and realized I wasn’t the first who felt this way by this company. They are false advertising their product. Most cities their customers weddings are in they don’t have photographers. Majority of their photographers are average or below average. They are advertised as the best of the best. It was truly sad to even think I was going to participate in this but they kept assuring me it was going to be okay and it always works out. After I was let go I was blocked on everything and had no way to contact them. I reached out because I was promised pay on the phone call. But when the phone call was over everything I was communicating with them on was gone. They were using a text app Ring Central to communicate so you never really had their number. The email to contact them was my personal work email that they blocked me out of once the phone call was over. This was such a terrible experience and I am truly worried for other people who are getting used and losing money to this company. It is defiantly a get rich quick scam, but hurting innocent people along the way.

I found a job on LinkedIn which I applied for on the company's website. They emailed with interview times. I researched the website and company and there were a lot of red flags. The phone number went to voicemail, the website links don't work. The website domain is newly made and only to last a year. The website also include info for a company called instive insurance company and with more research I found that that company has a location in Uganda. I was alarmed by the pay rate for an entry level job.

I looked up the individual who emailed me and didn’t find a Wade Wilson connected to this business. I looked up the phone number on Google and no link to company. I looked up the address and company not linked to this address. There are typos on the website.

Recently, a scammer contacted me via WhatsApp, pretending to have obtained my contact information from the Danma Requipment Database. They offered me a part-time job that could be done from home. When I expressed interest, immediately after, a person named Antonia, using a fake name and number, contacted me on WhatsApp. She began explaining how I could earn money by completing easy tasks, such as clicking on apps, and asked me to continue the conversation on Telegram where all the end to end converations are encrypted. She provided me with the following link: https://hw.fcvip.vip/#/home to sign up with her invitation key. She began instructing me on how to complete the tasks, emphasizing that I needed to deposit money into their account through Bybit using Tether (USDT), a cryptocurrency. The system allowed me to complete three tasks per day, but it required me to withdraw money to their specified USDT address to activate each task. Additionally, they requested that I send them a screenshot after every withdrawal. The trick with the tasks involved a technique they called a "combo." Initially, when you deposited money to play a task, let's say $100 at level 1. However, when they employed the combo, the amount increased three times more. As a result, when I attempted to subtract this inflated amount, the task would freeze. To proceed with the task and retrieve my money, I was required to deposit additional funds into their account to complete the task. They consistently pressured me to upgrade my level, allowing me to invest more money. They would then implement a combo that significantly increased the amount, urging me to deposit more money to continue. Otherwise, they would assert that I wouldn't receive anything back until I completed the task. The goal of this scam is to get people to play the tasks for easy money and then encourage them to pay to get to the next level. It's impossible to get your "earnings" out of the app, so victims will have wasted their time and money. After two days, she added me to a WhatsApp group called "Part-time Exchange71" with all fake names and phone numbers. She also informed me that many other groups similar to that exist. They intentionally divide them to make it easier for scammers to control, ensuring that if someone, like myself, starts complaining, the damage will be minimized. I attempted to call some of them, but the numbers didn't even exist. There were 7-10 admins in the group, and they were the only ones contributing to make it appear authentic with their fake names and numbers. The discussions were limited to topics like food and irrelevant matters, accompanied by posts about the money they claimed to have made that day and so on. Like everybody else, I also trusted them and attempted to complete a task with a higher amount. However, after observing this, they began implementing one combo after another, and eventually, I reached an amount that I could no longer afford. Please see the image below. When I expressed my concern that I didn't have the money, they suggested that I borrow money from family and friends to complete my task, stating that otherwise, I would lose all the money I had invested. Withdrawal address: TXxKqpZkY5ckKudoJBNGtCNMYZZeEHDh1X Transaction Hash: 53a2caf777ea7841577198bb9024b5bd25f5210f8f3b75c2d3908c445d1e25f1 Withdrawal address:: TYKZBQoFUY1DjeUX2ezxEvVMBaRYPmqtBZ Transaction Hash: 3e9c2ed4afba9b6867a53a737f4e8a948f328baf23550d7d35c0aca51f73b8e7 and cf2a7a1730064d6dc54

I received an email from an HR rep of this company called Sterling Telecom based in South Korea. She offered a 1099 remote job as Process Coordinator. I was interviewed via phone and passed. The intial offer was cancelled because I have incomplete employment documents, I contacted them after few weeks and asked if the position is still opened, it was and I started my training. It was going well but it got sketchy when they mentioned that part of my job is to process payments from their customers through their bitcoin account. I searched and dug further online, and alot of resources I found says that no reputable company will allow an employee to personally process payments from their customers through bitcoin and it is for sure a scam. I immediately quit upon learning this, I am just worried because they have my social information, my ID and bank account information.
