I am searching for a new job and I completed an application online through an ADP recruiting site. Upon completing the application it asked for my SSN to see if the company would be eligible for a tax break. So excited for this job opportunity, I entered my personal information and submitted the application. Looking back I am very concerned this was not legitimate.

a person named Deft Motion, contacts me via text message for the position of data entry clerk at fast track technology. They insist I install zoom app to speak with them through messenger there instead. Then as soon as you accept their invite they proceed to start an interview without video, over zoom messages instead. They asked for email, which contains my name since it's for business purposes. The website they are hiring for is not legitimate.

Someone by the name of Amy Thompson contacted me via LinkedIn saying she had a data entry clerk job available at the company Pulmo Biotech. As my "start date" approached, they sent me a check for computer supplies and I transferred them the money after receiving the check but the check bounced and I lost money on the ordeal. I think the actual Pulmo Biotech company was acquired by another company some years ago and these scammers are just using the company's old name as a front.

Sent email to me and maybe 25+ other emails with link to connect to forms for a remote job I did not seek interest in. Sent to my email saying my inventiveness of my resume...... I am looking for a job but did not solicit information from this person for information on posted job. Job websites have resume copies so perhaps selling information or promoting to outside entities.

I lost my job in March. Ellevis reached out to me set up an phone interview and advised I would be a 3rd party shipper making $4000.00 a month part time. My first paycheck would be within 45 days and it would be a paper check mailed to me. During the process I did the shipping at no cost to me Small items. I then was asked to open a business account with one of 3 banks. I chose Bank of America. They needed $100.00 to open the account. I opened it using my debit card. I kept the documents and advised the person I spoke with David, that I was charged the $100.00 he advised I would be re-imbursed on my check. After opening the account there was no contact. I received a phone call once a week for 4 weeks telling me the client would be making payment and I needed to be on the look out in my dashboard and email. After 3 weeks I contacted them and the a woman spoke to me, the first time I ever spoke to her, she advised that I would be paid the following week. The week of July 31, I received a call from David advising that I would be paid this week and the client would be making payment. As of 8/3, I had no contact. I reached out via email and text to both numbers and the two emails I had advising I had not been paid and I was requesting my check be overnighted and that I receive information on setting up benefits and on setting up direct deposit. Later on the evening of 8/3, with no contact my access was not accepted to log into my dashboard. I have two email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]. I also have two phone numbers: 646 583 1746 and 404 382 9083.

I applied for a job and he messaged me on LinkedIn telling me to submit my resume to an email. I did and he responded with the job, its duties, benefits, ect. Eventually he offered me the job and I accepted. He then sent me a check for supplies and first weeks pay. He wanted me to buy equipment from this company with it but the check was for more than the equipment would have cost. I only realized this was a scam after I had deposited the check.

I was contacted via email from a company that found my resume on a website and stated that my experience fit their requirements. And to apply if I was interested further.

I did and worked for this company for 28 days and that’s when the red flags started. They stopped calling and responding to any correspondence. I canceled the account that I had given and no money was lost. Just time and energy for a complete scam. I will be filing a lawsuit for my time lost.

The first text I have received stated "I am Christian from Fortive Corporation, we are very pleased with your listed qualifications on ( ATS Platform) and would like to conduct and online interview for the open position of (Data Entry Specialist). The Pay-rate is $25/hr. training is $15 this is strictly an online work from home job. will you have any issues working from home?" After texting Christian for a bit, he redirected me to speak with the hiring manager via Microsoft Teams with the link (https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FAArCzqVL2bg9FtpgE) Once connected I was texting Samuel Sullivan and he conducted an interview via chat (texting) on Microsoft Teams. After I answered all of his questions he stated that he will relay the details of my interview to Admin Desk for review and asked for my email.

They offered a job to be an "order coordinator" which meant that they set packages to me and then I would relabel and ship them out. I had a website for logging the packages an I was put under a probation period which meant that I worked for 30 days then I got paid and had to wait to see if I would be made a permanent worker at the company. They said they would pay me by a check in the mail but it never came and I am pretty sure they blocked my email so I can't contact them. I also have another email for payroll stuff, [email protected] and their name was Marie Spencer. I also have a contact of my curator who gave me orders and answered any questions I had, [email protected] and their phone number is (213) 973-6793. Also the job offer was remote work but on their website they had positions in the state of California.

I was offered an online remote work from home position as a technical writer for Kapstone Tech and I was contacted by James Van Holts through email and GoogleChat about further action with employment. I was issued checks to be deposited into my bank account to be sent to third party vendors including Vivian Johnson ($Johnsonviv) and Bunmi Bakare ($bunmibakare) to pay for equipment that would be delivered to my current residential address. I have included their cash tags from CashApp. I have contacted my bank and CashApp services about this matter and am waiting for further action to be taken place. I would like to get this issue resolved. Thank you.
