I was contacted by email and applied to a Supply Chain Specialist job with Grand Finance Professional Holding. The attached job description provides a vague idea as to what the position is for. I was asked to rate my credit debt ratio, provide contact information, my availability and if I had a driver's license. I have attached the email for further review.

rcvd text in response to my resume on career builder. offered my choice of 6 positions remote, training pay foor 1 week then 30,00 per hour for data entry. sent me to use signal and went through a very thorough interview with 16 essay type questions in addition to normal interview questions. first claimed they would pay through direct deposit. then when I questioned how I should know if they were legit he told me to look up the website and told me they pay through credit cards. no checks. The first guy using company name Croma said the same thing but I never heard from him after I questioned him. I was supposed to be on signal at 8:00 am and I didn't go there. This guy wants the same thing and says we will do w-4 and paperwork. That means my ssn. I asked why a company in Austraia wants to hire somebody in tn. He said he lives and works in Houston. TX. This guy says he is Carlos Cerezo and the first guy was Rudy Mason. It all sounds wishy washy to me. Companies are real companies but it doesn't add up

I went on the website to look for jobs at Housesitter.com several people reached out to me both offering me work when they saw my profile as new without contacting them, and ads that I emailed. When I attempted to respond to their providing me a phone number in an email to call, either the number didnt go through and or the party texted me to ask where I was. I gave them my number and asked them to call me please in response to the job, that I couldnt use the number. No one returned my call. All that happened was when I tried to email them back in their response of a phone number not working a box popped up telling me to pay. I then saw one person that I tried to contact here in Ft Lauderdale posted the same ad in several states with the same ad. My ad also said they needed snow removal, Im in Florida it doesnt snow here. Clearly the ad was copied and pasted in all the other states where it does snow.

A man named Robert Cooper approached me via email, with a job offer for Pro-Tech Solutions. He set up a "phone interview" with an "HR worker." The following day he emailed me saying I was approved for the job. He then sent me an email with the log in link and information for a work panel. Everything seemed so legit. On the work panel I was prompted to upload a signed job offer letter, I-9, and a scanned copy of my I.d. He set up 4 days of training, each day doing different task. The first day was research on 10 competor tech company's, the 2nd day was an email response to a specific client with the log in information for a "company email", 3rd was a phone call to a specific client, 4th was a customer service response, and the 5th day he emailed me with a different job offer as management. That when I stated digging, I found a reddit story with the exact details and his same name so I ask him about it and I've not heard any word from him since and that was 3 weeks ago.

I do things like this to point out scammers, so it was for the experience. They told me their name was Elizabeth meador olean as well. Got past the interview, asking irrelevant questions of course. Asked me for my address and phone number email etc. then wanted me to send them pictures of my id and myself etc. I definitely stopped at the name, address, and what not. Asked if there was a website and they said yes. I did successfully complete the interview and that was that. They had me download the Microsoft teams app to conduct the irrelevant interview.

I accepted a job offer from Rozesti with a start date of 9/16/2023 and a pay date was 10/16/2023. Unfortunately, I am facing serious complications regarding my salary payment. Despite fulfilling all responsibilities and expectations, my salary, which was supposed to be mailed to me on the agreed-upon date, has not been received. After two weeks of waiting and extensive communication with the HR department, it has come to my attention that the salary was never sent.

The lack of transparency and communication from the HR department has been deeply concerning. Initially, I was in regular communication with them to resolve the issue, but my emails are no longer being received, leaving me in a state of uncertainty and financial distress.

I want to bring this matter to your attention in the hope that the Better Business Bureau can intervene and assist in facilitating a resolution. The lack of payment and communication from Rozesti is not only causing me significant personal hardship but is also a breach of the employment agreement.

I am now out a month payment of 3700 plus 150 in travel expenses which was the contract that I signed with them. I have that contract if needed

I was already feeling scammed by online "SEO (search engine optimization) " online work company where I had to complete the tasks by at times pay for the Merge data in order to get a higher commission. As I am not able to make further payments for the work platform at "seoworksapp.top," where the cryptocurrency apps has been restricted after sending money to the work account. I was directed by mentor Charlotte Williams (226 786 3042) and (754 223 6907) who is also putting money into my work account as I could not finish my ask due to payment shortage. I have put in about 75,000.00$ Canadian including the losses of fees charged multiple times during cryptocurrency trading. I went ahead with it as I am new to the role, I have been told that there is someone training me in this role. I was not able to fill the task as I do not have anymore money and this happened in less than a month time frame.

I felt the challenge and googled if there is anyone who can help to get the cryptocurrency that is lost back. I contacted" payback construction LTD,Copyright ©2001, PAYBACK CONSTRUCTION LTD BN - 876744913, Registry ID: 101024451", their website is: one.advance-refund.info, also its registered in business burro. I was informed that all the initial deposits could be taken back except commission. I was happy with getting some of that money back in addition to providing 10% of the money deposited back to my account to [email protected]. Brooke stated had insisted that they have been doing this since 2001, provided all the information that they are working with the government etc. Furthermore, in order to bind my new cryptocurrency account with Metamask (supposedly the account where all the recovered cryptocurrency is supposed to be deposited in where I have 140,000$ Canadian worth) along with the 3000$ Canadian, in order to prepare the paper works to have the money deposited from "anti-money laundering protocol". They also used "anydesk" software to access my computer as I had challenges setting up the app they had requested. Post $3000.00 Canadian payment made they said "Complement will call or CRA will call". I was told this process is to be completed in the same day, then they disappeared and I was not able to call them back and she was not responding to the email. They also wanted the direct deposit information of my bank where where all the deposits has been gone through, ensuring that they are checking to see were all the deposits made from the account. The scarier part is they set up the fake Metamask account which has the fake cryptocurrency, this can't be converted. I am not sure what other personal information was compromised at this time. All I know that we feel that we got scammed on top the of the initial scam and feel helpless. I hope no one else falls into a trap like I have. Please be alert if anyone is calling you to give you a job and do a full research about the company and discuss it with someone who you can trust prior to starting a new job specially if its online and if its commission based.

Job Description

Purchasing Manager

Position Overview

It is a part/full-time professional position. You could start with part-time employment and continue into full-time, if you need the flexibility. This work-at-home position is responsible for generating purchase orders using the Company's money, compiling reports, preparing shipments, and other designated administrative duties. Basis salary will be $124,800 per year ($10,400 monthly) plus commission. The commission will be from 10% up to 25% of a purchase amount for every fulfilled assignment. Benefits include Medical, Dental, Vision, 401k, and Life Insurance.

Your primary responsibilities include: communicating with vendors regarding products and prices, product availability, service, quality, and other related issues; communicating with your Supervisor regarding vendor information as stated above; determining appropriate methods for product purchasing (from local stores/vendors or online sites), if not previously designated by the Company; prepare and process purchase orders; prepare all selected reports; place orders on a timely basis and ensure on-time delivery.

You will be responsible for the work designated by your Supervisor. You will not be required to relocate, and there will be no long-distance trip requirements. You can accomplish most of the work from home. Also, you will not be required to make any investment nor financial expense.

Desired Skills

To succeed, you must be a self-motivated, well-organized person and a skilled speaker. This position requires that you accomplish the assignments clearly and set priorities intelligently within the defined terms. The appropriate candidate will become an integral part of our Company's development. You will succeed if you can work remotely and efficiently and plan short trips in your local area.

Probation Period Challenges

During the probationary period, you will learn how to accomplish the assigned purchases on the Company's behalf. You will also learn how to complete your entrusted duties accurately, appropriately, within stringent guidelines, and within agreed time frames. In addition, you will act under the high standards of business process control as adopted by Y & L Import Export GmbH. You will get training, which includes assignments to purchase goods that are not exclusive to the United States. However, challenges will be programmed in each assignment and will increase in difficulty. For example, you will get the task to purchases that require goods of limited quantity and purchases across several retailers to complete quantity requirements. Assignments can generally be completed in 1-2 hours, easily within your spare time. Also, when purchasing large oversized items, organization, delivery, and reshipment efficiencies will be essential. Please find below the detailed description of a typical first assignment under the probationary period:

Step 1: You and your Supervisor determine all required items for purchase: the assignment terms, total purchase amounts, and delivery terms and purchase locations.

Step 2: You will purchase the required items from the local or online retailers with the monies forwarded in advance to your account. All items will be defined as allowed for export without restriction. The first assignment will require purchasing electronic devices from retailers in the United States, e.g., Walmart or Best Buy. Using our help with buying the goods from the United States, foreign customers will save up to 120% on the cost of some products. And they have guaranteed original products made especially for the United States market. These savings are possible due to the different taxation systems and high import duties paid by official importers. In addition, some manufacturers use a discriminatory pricing policy, inflating prices for their goods outside of the United States up to 110%. Most United States retailers such as Best Buy, Walmart, Target, Home Depot do not allow purchases using addresses outside of the United States and credit cards issued by foreign banks. The purchased items may differ, and we will always forward the type and the number of goods beforehand. We will always respect your views and input. We have a large workload and operate in many countries. If you cannot purchase some of the items, we have many options and can always propose alternatives.

Step 3: You will send us scans or pictures of the receipts by email. Then you will send the purchased items by mail. The Company will pay all postage expenses.

Step 4: You will make a report regarding the completed assignment. The Company will provide the report form to you in advance.

Step 5: Move on to the next assignment.

Salary and Benefits

During your probation period, you will earn a normal monthly salary and commission. You will receive your payments by check or wire transfer to your bank account following your predefined choice. For example, say you completed eight assignments during your probationary period, for $11,500.00 each:

Commission for each assignment: $1,150.00 (10% of $11,500.00)

Total assignments are done: 8

Total commission: $9,200.00 ($1,150.00 x 8)

Your monthly salary: $10,400.00

Total: $19,600.00

In this example, you will receive a total payment of $19,600.00 within one week after the end of the three-week probationary period. In addition, there may be an option of receiving your commission after every fulfilled assignment.

If you decide to accept this position under the above-stated terms, please forward your confirmation to my email address or give me a call.

We will have to run a credit check before you start. We will not request your private information. For the background check, the data you provided us in the application form is enough.

If you have any further questions, please feel free to email me or call me at our Toll-Free number 01.877.360.7666. I am at your disposal from 10:00 to 13:00 and from 14:00 to 18:00 (ET). I can call you if you send me your phone number and availability by email.
