I applied for a remote job with who I thought was White Construction. They sent me an acceptance letter stating I got the job then they proceeded to send me a W-4 to complete which had my social security number on it. I even had an interview via zoom on Dec 6th 2023 with a Teri Waganer. I spoke to her multiple times after my interview and she stated the company was creating my account which was why it was taking so long. This was on Dec 11th, 2023. That was the last time I heard from her.

I received a text message, "Hello XXXXXXXXX, Our HR team at GT Ventures has reviewed your resume in regards to your application for the Customer Service Representative (remote) position with a pay of $25/hr. You are required to Setup Microsoft Teams account for the interview, and if you have one already, proceed by connecting with the Hiring Manager (Elliott Trevor) through this invite ID (https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FAAdJdGbHzGI88dXTA) on Microsoft Teams for the job briefing and interview process. "

He had a check Fed exed to me for $4655.00 to purchase office material. He told me to do a mobile deposit and send him a screenshot of the deposit.. Well, since I had set up a new account to deposit this money in, it wouldn't let me make a deposit that large in a new account so I told him it was over the allowed deposit amount for the day so he told me to go to the ATM and deposit it. I said ok but instead of the atm, I went inside the bank and ask them to verify the check. It was a fake check

I received a phone call from a lady with a strong accent with Biz Investment Management saying they saw my resume online and wanted to know if I was still looking for work. She stated they had a remote position available for part or full-time and that I would use my laptop until training was over, and then they would send me a work laptop. She stated that the position paid $3000 for training and then $59k per year for data entry and customer service. Was then asked a few interview-like questions like if I like to work well individually or with a team, have I ever missed a deadline, what do I do to ensure I don't miss a deadline, etc. Was then told that the manager would send me an email with the employee agreement form. I received the email with links. I never clicked on the email links and started googling the company. They do have a website, however, when I looked up the address in Florida, it was not a legitimate address and directed me to the street, but it was a residential area. After going back to the website, I noticed that there are several design errors in the website that a professional website would never have. I am a web designer, so these errors stood out quickly.

On December 3rd, I received a job opening for Pepvax as a Data imput specialist. It was going to be a remote position with benefits, 401k and they were going to pay $24 per hour. After submitting my resume, I received an email the following morning stating that I would need to download a messaging application called Signal to contact the hiring manager and schedule a time to conduct the interview. After contacting the manager, Catherine Larson, they conducted the interview via text. They informed me that I got the position and that they only need to know which bank I used to send me a check to buy materials that I would need to work the job effectively. They told me that when i received the check, I would have to order all products through their supplier. After the interview, I never received an email of employment and I was told that all my information about the job and beneifts would be sent to me after I deposited to check and order from their supplier. When the check came in, I was for $7558.55. That same day, Larson informed me that I needed to deposit it as soon as possible to start the process. This is when I took a step back and started researching if the company was a scam or not. I found that other individuals had gone through the same process and called it a scam as well. Lastly, I couldn't find the company on ScamPulse.com to validate the company.

I believe this is a scammer that is pretending to be PepVax.inc

This is s fake company advertising themselves with a salary range of 90K - 120K. The CEO works for a company under a different name than the originally job posting. They send a fake "interview" link to your personal email, while gathering your personal information. I believe there goal is to get your banking information within there "hiring" process.

No personal information exchange. Scammer promise work remote without a normal hourly working schedule and no interview. Don’t remember ever applying for the job. Scammer offered extremely large amount for salary and bonus. Too good to be true!
