They posted a job for $27/hr as a remote receptionist on LinkedIn. After I applied I received a text message from them saying “Good morning! My name is Kristen from Calista Therapeutics, Inc (www.calistatherapeutics[.]net). I'm reaching out to you in regards to your job application for the position of a remote data entry clerk. We are pleased to invite you to interview for this position. The rate of pay for this role will be $27 per hour.

I had applied online for a work from home job and I remember it stating Whole Foods Secret Shopper. I don’t recall ever hearing back but they did ask for my address and phone number. On 5/31/23 I received a packaged letter from USPS (shipping label from “Handyman Connection” in Herndon, VA) that was signature required so I picked it up from my postal office. Inside was a letter of details and instructions along with a company check (from a different named company “Loyd Builders of Fayetteville” in NC) for $2,050.89. Instructions stated to go to mentioned stores and purchase 3 AMEX gift cards totaling $1,500, keep $500 for self pay and the remainder for upcoming instructions. Once check is deposited into own account, purchase the gift cards and then send photo proof of front and back of gift cards with the scratch off area revealed to the email and phone number provided and include store details and to keep cards for upcoming assignment. I was skeptical that all 3 had different company names and address so after a google search I found fraud reports of this very letter and I also called the company on the check who confirmed they are undergoing a police investigation with a total of almost one million dollars of the fraudulent checks someone has created. I wanted to do my part by reporting this in hopes to help this company and others.

I have received 10 text messages and 5 emails from the possibly the same people posing as different companies - first time 'NOVO' second time 'NOW', third time 'Pulse Campaigns', all claiming to be marketing consultancies located in the NYC and Jersey City area. I suspect this is a job scam as I never applied for a role and they're spamming me with interview invites. The IP address for Pulse Campaigns shows that they're in Denmark (same for NOVO) but their website and LinkedIn (which has fake employee profiles) is showing NYC as their location. They claim they were founded in 2010 but Google reports their website to have been indexed in September 2022 (same as NOVO).

They would send IBW routing number and bank account. I told him I never heard of an employer sending company money to a personal credit card. I asked him again because it did not make sense. He said go find another job and don't bother me again. Also what bothered me, is he did not answer the phone saying IBW.
