I was emailed from a fellow Shippensburg University email and approached about a job opportunity that meets the exact description I read. I filled out a google doc form and entered my name phone number email and the bank I use. Upon thinking more I realized it was odd that they requested which bank I use which led me to here. No account numbers were given out but it is very odd and worrysome they reached out through my school email.

I applied to a job posted on Indeed, for a Customer Service Representative. I received a reply that I was a strong candidate for their Personal Assistant position. The person asked me to describe myself, and my work relations. The job offer seemed to be too good to be true. I decided to go back to the ad placed on Indeed, and I couldn't find the posting. I tried to look the company up on line, and it does bring me to a website, with a person of the same name and company name, except in the email offer the company name was provided without INC. on the end and the online website uses INC. I have saved the email chain and I can include it as part of this report.

I applied to a customer service position on career builder for a company called handypros agency. They responded with forms to fill out with my information, they sent documents that looked very real about the company and job. I noticed it was a scam when a email was sent for the “CEO” and the signature didn’t match the printed name

Approached me for a job offer says I applied on Zip Recruiter. Asked me a bunch of question and asked if I had a bank. I told them I had a card that I used for direct deposit, they continued then said I was offered the job but would need stuff to start working and I was given a list of stuff I needed to purchase then they would refund to me. Continued with job description. Then asked me again about a bank account and when I told them again I don't use a bank account, they stopped chatting

I am looking for a work from home job, a gentleman name James called my cell phone and said that he was a Mr. Douglas Ross personal assistant and that Mr. Ross would like to have a Zoom meeting to interview me. I logged into the zoom meeting, Mr. Ross asked me the standard interview questions, said he was going to talk to his upper management and get right back to me. He returned and said that I was hired as a customer service rep and to follow these instructions to the letter. He was going to Fedex me a check, I was to take $150.00 as a sign on bonus and use the rest to purchase designated software, he supplied me with a VERY long list of software programs to buy and said that as soon as the check arrived, I was to follow the instructions in the letter that was with the check. I just got the check and it sounded like a scam so I called the ScamPulse.com and it is , so I'm filling out this report. The check is from Salerno Community in Miami Florida, the check is written for $4,820.00. I was told to email a Lucas Allen who worked in the payment/hiring dept. as soon as I got the check. Then I was to cash the check, and send copies of the deposit slip and any other receipts to [email protected]. I hope this helps anyone else who gets tied up in this monkey business. I am going to destroy the check and letter and block them from all my devices.

I was contacted by someone on my cellphone and i think the message came in through linkden . The message said or was looking for employees to go to work for them. I agreed and for a week everything went as expected. Then when I wanted to retrieve my salary the software they were using wouldnt pay out what i had earned unless i match an amount which they gave me. I did that cause they indicated my percentage would go way up on what i could make. When i made the deposits the software again came back and said i had to match a certain amount. I did so. I then figured out this was all a scam and i asked for my money back. I couldnt get it. I then made them an offer if they would give me back half i would just quit the job and go about on my way. they refused. so i am out 1636.00. I have all the corresspondance and screenshots. I feel i was taken advantage of because i am disabled and maybe dont quite understand how things work.
