Was reached out to over text about a data entry job paying 38$/hr

I was contacted by an individual named ****** ********* about a Flight Coordinator position. It seemed off because she called it an "information meeting" and that didn't sit well with me, so I googled her name and yep - she came up as affiliated with a "travel agency" MLM under at least two other business names. 1. NEVER pay money for "training", and in the aviation world fluff credentials are. worthless. full. stop. do. not. pass. go. 2. the ignorance here is astounding. I should have kept the meeting and watched her try to convince someone with an FAA license and a BS in Aeronautics to give her money for a phony "travel agent certification". Sheeeesh.

I received a text regarding a data entry position. Went through the interview process exactly as the other person. Everything is the same verbatim except the names the person who texted me was Kristen Newson and the person who interviewed me was a Mr. Greta Reinbold

I had recently put my resume on some websites to look for a remote data entry job. I received a email message 8/23/23 from someone named Cindy Mill stating that my resume credentials had been approved at Enpro Industries Company. She asked me to get on the app called Skype to have an interview through app there with a Nathan Roger, head of hiring recruiters dept at Enpro Industries Company. I had the interview with Mr. Rogers on 8/28/23. He commented that I was approved and offered a position. He said they were going to send me a check to buy some computer software and office equipment to set up my home office to use a website they work with regularly. The only info I gave them of my personal was the name of my bank (zero info about my accounts there), and my home address, phone number. H said they would be emailing me with paperwork that needs to be filled out for taxes and an offer letter. I was to receive the check via email print it out and mobile deposit it. I was to screen shot mt deposit receipt (that does show the last 4 numbers of my account). He immediately requested I forward him $400.00 of the available for process the equipment purchases. I express my concern about forwarding any fund until the check was processed and cleared. I looked up Enpro Industries website, they are a very large firm with offices all over the world and over 4,000 employees. Red flags started to show such none of the email correspondence were Enpro as expected, instead Gmail or AOL. The check was issued from a Cristina Watson, Decatur, AL and not from Enpro Industries. The employment offer was fill with typos, not expected from a company of this size. I contacted Enpro Industries corporate office and spoke with HR department, who immediately identified this as fraud, that was previously reported. They told me to report it to the government. I also contacted my bank, note the check has posted and the funds are listed as available, however the check is still pending. I will not use these funds and if the check clear I will return the funds, should the check reach approval.

I am looking for a job and received an email titled "Applicant Resume Has Been Assessed For Hire!!". the rest of the email reads.....below. I did the Zoom interview, never speaking to a live person. Received a second email with the job details and listed benefits. Started sounding too good to be true, and looks like it is. They "approved me for hire and I am supposed to start training on Monday. This is where I believe they will try to scam you. They said they will pay you to purchase all the equipment you need to set up your work from home office. I believe they will request the banking information at this time. Unfortunately, I have given them my name, phone #, address and name of my bank so far, but nothing else.

I was contacted by email. He invited me to a teams meeting. We had a meeting by chat. He sent an acceptance letter then a check for over$2400 I then knew it was a scam.

Someone from Facebook messaged me, offering a job; her name is Carol Lewis. She told me about a work-from-home job. Since I joined some Facebook groups related to WFH, I asked her where she found me, so yes, it is on FB. She asked me to email my resume to Devon Layton ([email protected]). I checked their website did some research, and it initially seemed legit. I got an interview, and they told me I got the job. They asked me to wait for an email from Kelvin Carlton ([email protected]), the Program Manager who will oversee my onboarding. He asked me to install Microsoft Teams (https://teams.microsoft.com/downloads), our primary communication mode. So I signed the job offer contract and even sent him my IDs. On August 21, I got a check from him amounting to $3,800 (for purchasing the equipment, signing bonus, and advance training pay). He said I needed to deposit the check into my bank account. Once deposited, the money will be used to purchase the necessary equipment since I work from home. But when I received the check, it was very suspicious! The check name was under a museum, not under the company's name. Even the address doesn't seem right. The check bounced. They were not able to get any money from me, but unfortunately, they were able to get my identity IDs.

The same as previously listed here. They asked me endless interview questions on Zoom messaging. They also, believe it or not, asked me initially, before the interview process began, which position are you interested in. Following the online interview, I was asked to open a Gmail account, which I did. Eventually they asked me to identify myself through official US government forms. I filled out some of it on DocuSign but left out key details such as a Social Security number. They also asked, like the previous person, which bank I use. I refused to give out any details. So they asked if a Wells Fargo bank was near me. I said yes. Then the problem was to open an account, you needed $25. I refused to do that, saying never in my life did I have to spend one penny to begin a job. Of course going to an in-person interview, one needed expense money to travel there. Understood and necessary. All in all, my experience was spot-on like the previous individual. Beware.

Maria,

Sounds good, talk to you then!

After seeing this reported before, I was weary but still followed through with the Skype interview. Because of this, when asked if I preferred direct deposit or check, I made sure to say I preferred a check. It took her a long time to get back to me after the text-based interview and I suspect it's because of this. She asked me to check back later today, so I will try to provide an update because it's so open when you search for it online.

I was using Indeed for my job search as I graduated college, and I came across this video editor position with the company CIQ. Upon further investigation, I determined CIQ was and is a real company and I submitted an application. About a week later I received an email on how they thought I was a good fit for the position and that their positions fill up very quickly. I told them I was interested and they sent me an email back with a PDF (attached) titled "PRE-JOB BRIEFING" which was essentially a job offer letter which I also thought was strange.

They signed the letter as a random name and that I had to contact them to schedule my interview on an app called Wire - --Secure Messenger, which I thought was weird since I had never heard of this program in my life and other positions I've been interviewed remotely for have only used Zoom or Webex.

Then, I looked up the name they gave me and nothing bounced back to that name working at CIQ or this person even being real.

I then asked if this letter was legitimate and if I could have someone help me in the process, to which someone quickly replied "Follow the instructions."

So, I determined it was a scam and I called CIQ directly to report it, the operator told me that I was the fifth person that week who reported something similar.

I probably only lost my email, phone, name, and address to these scammers, but I didn't lead them on enough to allow them to steal money from me. They were offering an insane benefit package and offering to send me new equipment like a Macbook Pro which I would have to "front" the cost for if I let it get to that point.

Just trying to protect others, and hopefully, they can find these scammers.

I was hired as a account representative by Digi MD. Full on boarding and exchange of information. This was followed by a training period of about 3 weeks which seemed legit. Most communication was through a Telegram app. This included market research, customer service training and a lot of information exchange. I was instructed to receive a wire transfer and to my account and then the money to an account at US bank minus a partial salary for me and expenses incurred. Unfortunately I did it. When my bank reached out to say the transfer was false I realized I had been scammed.

I have been looking for an at Home job and have sent several applications out. I get this text about a job. They said they were with Q-Corp. I looked them up and they are from Las Vegas. so that seem official. He asked if I could do the interview now. I was away from home so I said no, I would get back to him. He sent a link for me to click on when I was available. So the Next day I clicked on the link and he ask me all the normal questions, just like a regular interview. after that he said he would get back to me about the job offer. He asked me to contact him the next morning. I contacted him the next morning and he said congratulating I got the job. I was thinking, this is too easy. Then he explained the position and how it all works. I was going to receive a check in the amount of $3150.00 I was to take $200 to purchase software and $100 for me as a bonus for signing up, then I was to take the left over funds and deposit it in a shipping account, he will send the info soon. So they can ship my computer & supplies needed for the work from home job. I had a funny feeling that this was a scam. I decided against taking the Job. I hope no one else falls for this.

Got a job offer for a virtual assistance. Look for them online, but there's no information or even social media. They only have a website that looks kinda suspicious. Their application job is only your personal information, don't include any past job experience.
