GrabJobs.com has job scams all over their website. They published a fake job listing for Remote.co and Remote.co is not currently hiring. The listing is a scammer trying to scam innocent job seekers. Grabjobs.com is not a reputable job search site and it poses a threat to job seekers.

I was reached via text about a remote data entry position. I was told to upload Special Messenger. After going through the interview and getting the job i was asked for my bank account information, including login and password. Also, they wanted pictures of my credit card, saying they would pay it off. Then they asked me to get a Green Dot gift card.

They got mad when i wouldn't and got mad when they couldn't access my bank account. I did get a gift card for $25.00, told not to activate it, then they took the funds.

I was doing all of this in good faith.

The first person who sent me the text was Rodney Davis 440.222.7141. I was directed to George Herrera at 313.482.9957.

The next day i received another text directing me in the same manner to Teresa Janet at 361.233.5831. A Julie Clark responded on Special Messenger with the same interview tactic. When i told her i was dealing with George she said " Be smart. We're all scammers".

I ended all correspondence after that.

Received and email and then a text about a job opportunity, and that I needed to work with a “Mr Andrew Jackson” through zoom chat. During this process was asked for full name, city/state, phone number, and email. Was also asked for the name of my bank. After a very informal “interview “ was offered a “job” with exceptionally high pay, and that they would need to send me a check in the mail to purchase equipment from their partner vendor.

The scammer initially contacted me by text message, claiming to be Sandra Conkilin from Talanx Group. She informed me that she reviewed my resume on Indeed, and Talanx wanted to interview me for a position. She proceeded to send me a list of different job titles and choose which one best suited me. After that she confirmed if I was okay with working remotely. She then told me to connect to the interviewer via Skype. When I connected to the interviewer he introduced himself as Tasker James, one of the online interview-manager for Talanx Group and that he would interview me via instant message. I went through an interview process (the entire process took about a hour) that seemed legit at first. I was told my interview answers would be sent to the board of directors for review and after about a hour he told me I got the job. He went through the next steps and got my name, full address, cell number and email address so he could enter and verify my data with the company’s secretary department. He proceeded to ask me question about if I was doing the job on my phone or PC and I chose PC and he asked if I had the proper software to complete the job and sent me a list of all the programs I would need. He also asked if I had desk and chair for my office at home. He then let me know that they would be sending me a check in the mail for job materials. Every time I tried to get a start date he would never tell me. I asked if was a scam and he got offended and called me but without video only could hear his voice and he had an accent and you could tell English wasn’t his first language. So I went along with everything. He stated that the check that he will be sending me will be for $2750 and that a bonus of $150 was on the check for me. He stated that I would receive the check next day and I confirmed it was coming via FedEx. I also did research on the actual company Talanx AG and they didn’t offer any of the position that were listed and none of the position were work from home on their actual website. I also forgot to mention the scammers offered me $30.75/hr for a online chat rep! All of this was a huge red flag for my wife and just didn’t set right with her especially once she got home and was able to see how everything was happening. Thankfully the scammer didn’t get anything was wasn’t already public knowledge.

I was hired as a customer liaison. I was supposed to deal with clients invoices so the corporation didn’t. Everything was done via text or email, including my interview. They took my ID info for a background check and my direct deposit info. 5/22/23 was my first day and they had me email a client and find out when he was going to pay. The client paid the invoice, I had to then print out the invoice and deposit it into my personal bank account. I have already contacted my bank to let them know I was scammed and the check was fraudulent. I accused them of being a scam and they said they would have their legal team contact me. After digging, the Lynn Bennett I was talking to wasn’t actually her and the company is made up.

The persons involved needed me to copy Excel data and then use an online crypto website that failed to transfer funds multiple times. Angela Rains, my boss, asked that I transfer my own money for a business expense before I got paid, let alone will get paid. They claimed that if I did not, I would be fired. I have not sent money, and after asking more pertinent questions, they have stopped responding to me completely, regardless of the contract I signed with them.

a “job listing site” called me called degree search. Told me his name is Conner and I applied on his website and asked me for my personal information. When I asked him to tell me about his services first bc I did not apply to his site he said give him the information then he will explain I said no im not gonna do that if I don’t know who or what it’s for and he hung up on me . When I tried to call back the lady was rude and wouldn’t let me talk or ask any questions just kept trying to talk over me then hung up. This is very rude and very very unprofessional.

Scammer posted a "Marketing Internship" job on LinkedIn. I was contacted from a random number for a Zoom interview. When I joined, there were 30+ other people there. The scammer had us fill out a job experience form to make it to the "second round" where we were allowed to ask about hours, compensation, etc. They mentioned training us in marketing which would not be needed if it were truly a marketing internship. Clearly a MLM/pyramid scheme.

They wanted to “erase” your credit card debt, while you were supposedly doing a job interview to work from home doing data entry. Told I didn’t feel comfortable giving out that information. Said I have the job but they needed my information, so I said it sounded phishy. Their response was “Okay”. His name is Thomas Williams and the phone number used on the Signal app is 810-553-9564. It was posted on Facebook by a Melissa dawn cusack. I’m sure she was probably hacked, but did respond in instant messenger about the job, so not sure. Just doesn’t seem legitimate to me.

Was told after 30 day probationary period a check will be Mailed to my address within 10 business days. Still haven't gotten the check and will be in the process of taking legal action. This company has my SSN and the HR department's number says it has been temporarily suspended. There is no way to get in contact with anyone and they aren't responding to emails either.
