Received a text to log into Teams for a job interview. I applied for a remote data entry job on Linkedin. Standard interview questions until I was asked for what bank I affiliate with. I have never been asked this question so early in an interview and this personal information is usually processed with Human Resources once hired. That was my red flag. I immediately started to research Thams Nabib and this whole interview via teams texting and found this complaint on BBB. I also called Parker House and asked if they were hiring and they said no. This is really sad that such scams are out there and are reachable through a reliable source such as Linkedin. I confronted Thomas about the ScamPulse.com complaint and havent heard back. Additionally I found a Thomas Nabib on Facebook and he is a child. Not sure what is going on.

I was contacted via text to download Telegram app for my interview.

I downloaded the app and as we went through the interview I noticed grammatical errors and misspelled words.

Plus the job seemed too good to be true. As we proceeded with the interview, she told me that I would work for 14 days before receiving any contact information. The below is a message received from the HR lady.

“Benefits: Health, Dental, Life and AD&D Insurance, Employee Wellness and 401k plans. Paid Time Off and Holidays with Generous Company Discounts. And yes you can have your family on it. Lastly, Company handles gas mileage used for company errands and Internet bills.

Bonuses: You will be enrolled for this benefits after a period of 1-2 months of working with us. We are going to be communicating through this messenger till after 14 days of working with us, after then once we are done updating our website a user and pass to our website will be given to you including a link to our server. Also after then list of contact phone numbers to various departments will be sent to you.”

My red flags were flying and I hope this helps someone else to be aware that job postings could be scammers in disguise.

Initial contact via text message on 7/26/23 from "Heather Guidry" of Supernus Pharmaceuticals in response to my resume. Offer of data entry/customer service representative interview if interested. When I replied I was interested, asked if I could work from home, and if I had access to the program Microsoft Teams. When I replied that I did not, I was provided a link to utilize Teams to communicate with the hiring manager, "Andrew Wilkins". Once I downloaded the MS Teams app to my iPhone, "Andrew Wilkins" texted me on 7/27/23 with information about the company and the open position. He requested an interview via text which included widely-used interview questions. Once the text interview was concluded, "Andrew Wilkins" stated that he'd share my responses with his team and to be prepared for an answer the following morning at 9am EST. On 7/28/23 at 9:05am EST I was offered the position and told that an email with the offer letter and necessary HR documents would be sent immediately, which they were. The email was from "Annette Morales", Talent Acquisition Specialist, and included a blank W4 form, blank I-9 form, and 5-page offer letter signed by Jack Khattar, Chairman. Later the same day, I utilized a local Staples location for printing the blank documents as well as scanning all 3 completed and signed documents to email them back to "Annette Morales". The receipt of my email and documents was confirmed by her, and I sent a Teams text to "Andrew Wilkins" that I had emailed all documents. He asked me to be available on 7/31/23 at 8:30am PST to go over more details of the job offer. Today, 7/31/23 at 9:40am PST, "Andrew Wilkins" texted me via MS Teams. He texted, "The company has decided to issue the check in form of an E-check which will be emailed to you. All you need do is print it out and cut to size then deposit with your bank mobile feature, that way you'll have funds available for use." I was informed during the interview texting that these funds would be provided for the purchase of all necessary equipment, including a laptop, printer/scanner/fax, desk, etc. I'm reporting all of this BEFORE receiving the email containing the E-check.

I applied for an 'Event Manager' position (07/24/2023) at 'Primetime Business Consultants' in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. I applied on Indeed.

I have been doing my due diligence while researching prospective employers & this company has several red flags:

The company's website is vague.

No contact info other than an email address.

No employee directory or acknowledgement of the CEO.

Several stock photos.

The photos they do have of the CEO seem to be of personal events & not company related. I'm not sure how many if any of those people in the pictures are employees or partners.

I received texts from a supposed secretary named '********* but I think it's the CEO posing as their own secretary.

During the introductory meeting, two days ago (07/26/2023). The CEO contacted me on a Zoom that supposedly belongs to a Zoe Zoys. & the initial profile picture while waiting was a stock photo of a blond woman in a suggestive pose in an upscale office.

The CEO did not give me & another girl he was interviewing his name. She was a young **************** *****.

He told us that Primetime Business Consultants singlehandedly organized & hosted all of the Juneteenth Events in the state of Oklahoma. Which I knew was a lie.

He became upset when I started asking him why the website was vague & asked why he had no online presence. He ended the Zoom call & said if he was interested in either of us as candidates, he would contact us that evening from a '572' area code number. He did not contact me.

I spent yesterday emailing Juneteenth organizers & have not heard back from them yet. I asked if they knew Primetime Business Consultants.

I also contacted Primetime Business Consultants supposed business & charity partners. One of them, SmartPower, replied & said they do not know them & will be reporting them. I called ****** ************* & the woman on the phone said as far as she knows - they aren't partnered with them either & for me to email their organization for a more formal response.

The office manager for Central Oklahoma ScamPulse.com called me yesterday (07/27/2023). She said Primetime Business Consultants was registered December of 2022. The website went live January 2023. She said Primetime Business Consultants is supposedly housed at the Oklahoma Fair Housing Council. She cross referenced what all resides in the Oklahoma Fair Housing Council & Primetime Business Consultants isn't one of them. She believes Primetime Business Consultants is attempting to clone a business by using a similar yet not exact name. There is a businesses with a similar name in Miami, Florida (Primetime Business Network). & one in Tampa, Florida (Primetime Business Solutions). Oklahoma Primetime Business Consultants supposedly went on a business trip to Miami, Florida, the photo is on their website. The ScamPulse.com is now investigating Primetime Business Consultants.

I also contacted Attorney General Drummond's office. They are investigating, but told me to contact the FTC & FBI.

This is Primetime Business Consultants web address:

https://www.primetimebusinessconsultants.com/blank-3

These are the numbers ********* from Primetime Business Consultants has contacted me from:

405-648-0570 & 405-261-9574

A person by the name of Sophie Finley claiming to work for a company called Atom Transportation reached out to me via email regarding a project manager opportunity. They asked for personal information including phone number, email, and address which I provided. They said that a month of training would be required prior to job offer being made but that they would reimburse me for training time. I reviewed contract which seemed legit so I signed (see attached). Training packets have been sent via PDFs every day for the last week. However, when I reached out to training contact sending me the PDFs, David Cotton, I was unable to get ahold of him. I emailed him back asking for a time to discuss company and position, and he said he would answer all questions via email. I reviewed business website (atomtransportation.com) and googled locations their company website lists as offices. There is no reference to this business at any of those locations.

Blaj Virtual Solutions - A SCAM

Position positing reads: Remote Customer Service Representative - PT $14-23/hr - However, if you choose work, you are required to pay weekly: agency = $50 & platform fees = $19 Plus $30 for a background check fee. It is bait & switch and false advertising.

Others looking...NEEDING work may not be as aware & fall for this.

I was approached about a job for this company as a Customer Relations Manager for "the states". I did weeks of training and took quizzes at the end of each training module. I was told I was doing excellent and that at the end of training I would receive $2,500. When I completed everything and emailed the contact (Michael Thompson) he ghosted me and I never heard from him again. I left messages and tried to email but the emails came back. At one point they asked me for money to handle somethings involved in the job. I told them that I was not going to use my own bank account for their transactions. There was a lot of time invested on my part in the training and very frustrating for this to happen as everything looked in line and professional.
