I applied for several job offers through site such as linked in, and several other others I found online that were listed by people to be reputable. I received two different emails in the afternoon from people who wanted me to download signal and reach out to a Mr. John Lee. The number and name of the business on one email was different from the number and name of the business on the other email, although they had very similar wording and format. Additionally, I received a text message from a random number in Maryland which is how I found this site. The person only texted hello applicant! And nothing else. I do not know how much of my personal information they have or what they intend to do with it But on many of the sites I uploaded my resume which included my name address contact information and all of my work history. Additionally, several sites asked me to copy and paste my LinkedIn page for their reference. I wish I knew which of the several sites this or these came from.

I was looking for remote jobs and I found a email about this new job offer as an order selector at innovative multimodal exchange. My job was to make sure these packages was not damaged prepackage them and send them to the address given to me on there CRM system. They did not ask for money up front. However, I was sent packages to my home address which these packages were in my name. Then open then take and send a picture to the CRM system. I worked an entire month. They had me do a phone interview than I signed my conditional offer thru email and I sign a 1099 which had all my information like my SSN, I had filled out a 1099 before so I didn't not see anything funny about the form. At the end of the month when they were suppose to pay me sending a check no less, they never sent the check I called the number provided to me no response, they did not respond to my emails, and the CRM system where I was also had communication with them all month I was able to text them thru this system.

I applied for a job installing cable on indeed. Someone called me and told me the job is in Harrisburg PA but that they do some work in York PA. The person asked for my driver's license number and date of birth through text message. Number used: 252-236-2698. The person wanted to know if I had an apple phone or tablet saying they conduct business through those devices. I said I would get one if hired. The person told me to expect an e-mail from [email protected], which I never received. I looked up that e-mail with google and noticed it was associated with scams.

I applied for a job on Indeed. A few days later, I received an email from Angie Wilson, Hiring Team, saying I had the job for the data entry clerk position with MorningStar Marinas. It said that I should contact a Mrs. Lisa Donna on Signal Messenger at 1-234-339-5107 for inquiries and to schedule an interview. I downloaded the Signal Messenger app on my mobile phone and started a chat with Lisa on Jan. 3, 2025. She messaged me back on Jan. 4, 2025, with instructions to give my full name, email and the position I applied for. I got a link to a document to take a test and had 30 minutes to do the form. It asked simple questions like what is petty cash reimbursements, disbursements, etc. I was then given a brief background of the company, the pay rate, info about the training ad that there would be a background check and identity verification. On Jan. 7, 2025, I was told I had been chosen to fill the position. And that I would be receiving an email with paperwork to submit it and a clear copy of a government-issued identity card. I then received the email with the documents from Bill Young, SR VP of Marina Operations, MorningStar Marinas. The documents were: Offer of Employment, Employee without Certificate (W-4 form), Employment Eligibility Verification worksheet and a Direct Deposit Authorization. I filled all the paperwork out and sent them back on Jan. 8, 2025. I then received a chat message from my hiring manager, Lisa Donna, that they had received my paperwork. She proceeded to tell me that I would get a sign on bonus and a check for $300 for office equipment that I would need to be able to work from home. Also an agent would be assigned to me for equipment procurement and training on using the company software and computers. I will be monitored closely to use disbursed funds for the assigned purposes. She then told me for faster processing, an e-check would be issued and an agent would be assigned to me to handle the purchase and if I was familiar with mobile deposits. I told her yes I was familiar but my bank did not offer mobile deposit (Jan. 8, 2025). On Jan. 10, 2025, I chat messaged Lisa DOnna again to see where were at and I have heard nothing from her since Jan. 8, 2025 when I could not mobile deposit a e-check.

Scammer's email to me in part:

"I saw your linkedin profile and it looks like you have some great management experience.

Have you ever considered leveraging those skills to become an entrepreneur?"

"I'm genuinely interested in connecting as I have franchises expanding in New York that may be a great fit given your background as a Sales Associate.

Would you like to know more?

Tom"

"Your role as a Sales Associate positions you perfectly for some top franchise brands I have in New York.

Want details?

Tom"

This person has repeatedly sent me emails and I NEVER replied to them, nor have I ever contacted them! They won't stop. ??

They said it was a job that I could do and make money initially I was given a commission. However, in doing the job, you have to upload the money you made in order to fulfill the job duties and then they pay you back after that. However, once you do the job, they want you to upload more money to finish the job Which was never in told to me in the beginning.

A person on Facebook (unsure of State of her and scammer) posted that her company, Nielsen, was hiring for at-home accounting positions. Her name was Sandy Shackelford Lansford. She sent me a link to the hiring manager, Elizabeth Meador. She was doing text interviews via the Telegram app. I spent about 1/2 hour answering questions (it seemed like it was a bot based on spelling errors/grammar at times. Once completed I was asked to wait and then was approved for employment. She sent me a PDF of the job offer which seemed legit. However, I began to notice that the Nielsen logo looked like the Nielsen ratings company but this was not that company. She told me they would be sending me a mac, a printer, etc but needed me to go purchase a $200 Apple gift card and send them the code so they could upload my software and that I would be "reimbursed" Monday when I start. YEAH....she got very persistent and I said I wasn't sure I was accepting the job as I'm waiting to hear from other opportunities. She even went as far as to send a video of herself saying she's a real person. I called her out on her scam and she deleted the entire convo on the app but I have screenshots. BEWARE! My first indication was when she asked me my age - I should have stopped the process right then and there.

I received an email from someone claiming to be a real person who works at this company about a job which I had not applied for. I completed the questions they requested and was offered a job immediately,

I had never even spoken to anyone at all from this company. It was all done via email which got me suspicious.

They wanted me to provide them with some basic information for their “hr” team to send me an offer letter. I also got suspicious when they said they would wire me my weekly pay or direct deposit it or send via check.

Thankfully, I did not provide them with any information.

I was contacted on WhatsApp about a work from home job. Reviewing ads and buying client offers with guaranteed 40 percent commissions. It paid out the first 2 days. Then I had to pay 200 for a 320 return. And during this they said I did something wrong. That's when they wanted 680 to get my initial 200 turned 320 and almost 1000 all together. Don't fall for it people. I wasted 2 days doing work to get bamboozled. WWT on telegram is a scam.
