Report

Basically conducted an interview via Teams application for working with the company making $30.75 an hour. I was told I would be trained for placement. I was offered a job. Paperwork was sent, I filled it out. Everything seemed ok up until the point where it was explained that I needed specific software for the position and the company would provide payment for it. I was told I had to order it from a specific supplier and a check would be emailed to me. I have to deposit it, deduct $150 as a sign on bonus and use the rest for payment of software needed. That’s where my stomach dropped because I had filled out paperwork for this job. I have given them my personal information and now realize this is not legit. I have never been asked to do something like this. I did not go through with the deposit. I quit at that point.

The fake company sends out job offers to become a Personal Assistant. Then they have you input names, numbers, and emails from a text file into an excel spreadsheet. After three days of doing that, they asked me to set up a Wize account and did not agree to a video chat or anything.

I responded to a job opportunity on Indeed. I received and offer letter after doing a Skype interview with Ronald Jeffers. I was told that it would be a work from home job and the company would provide the equipment, but I would be to purchase once they sent me a check. A tracking number was provided to me to keep track of for the check to arrive. I received a check via UPS on today, but I had been told that it was coming via FedEx. I sent confirmation of delivery to the person's name listed on the letter that was sent to me ([email protected]) and from this point the reality set in that something was strange, so I texted Ronald Jeffers after the bank denied my attempt to deposit it via teller. The polite teller suggested that I deposit via ATM and may get a different result. I deposited it, but was immediately alerted that a hold would be placed on the check. Less that an hour later I received am email from my bank denying the deposit.

I returned to the bank to find out if I needed to do anything; the bank manager told me that it was likely a scam and I should call the 800 number listed on my ATM receipt.

I sent another message to Ronald Jefferys and he just state that someone would look into it on Thursday morning. So, I just got messed up! Just great!

I have been applying to numerous jobs at this theme and the number I listed had reached out to me telling me that I have been shortlisted and they’d like for me to interview. So I got the “job” and they asked me to fill out paperwork, including defect deposit information. After, they sent me a check to buy my supplies and it locked my bank account and that was a huge red flag

I was initially offered a position as a distribution associate and told I would began working under that position. A few days later after I provided my ssn I received an email saying there is an even better position available for me and I would need to provide my paypal email address in order to receive an advance payment. I was asked to sign a W-9 form and that is where I entered my ssn. I assumed it was a form to have taxes witheld from my pay, but I still haven't received any clear instructions on what the job responsibilities are or what I need to do to began working.

Facebook post said there was a job but you need to download the signal app. After downloading, I asked “hiring manager” if we could exchange personal information on the phone and I wanted a company number. He just kept saying everything on done on the app and it was not a scam. I said I needed a phone number and he finally sent one. When I called, it was so clearly a SCAM. I asked to speak with his manager to see if his position was legit and he kept saying he was the manager. This company exists, but this guy doesn’t work there.

I got an email regarding employment for the IRS saying that I applied on indeed.com

After checking the name and email domain roof I saw that it had nothing to do with the IRS and it was possibly a scam.

I received an email saying “We want to offer you a completely remote work of a Personal Assistant.” I assumed I had applied through LinkedIn job posting because I’m currently looking and applied to a bunch. Then we had a 3 minute phone call and already sent me an employment contract to fill out personal information. The website is fake and when I search the corporation online it doesn’t seem to exist. I try calling the number and no one ever answers.
