Filled out an application via ZipRecruiter and was contacted via email 5/8/2023 by a Barbara Thompson, I was offered a position immediately and was asked to fill out an application to be processed and was told a decision would be made the following weel. I also was asked to provide education documents proving my degree. I then was contacted the following week stating I was hired but no interview was scheduled. I requested one but it was dismissed. I also was asked to sign an employment contract and provide bank information for direct deposit. At this point I stopped and decided to research the company in further detail. I found a blog that stated it was a scam and had several other victims. They explained in perfect detail the same process I went through h even mentioning that no interview was conducted when requested.

The website looks legitimate, and they are registered as an LLC with Sunbiz.org. However, the phone number doesn't work. I even drove to the location address on the website but couldn't find the office claiming to be suite 705. The emailed addressed I was communicating with was using amazonses.com.

Someone contacted me on Linkedin regarding a part-time sales management position. She prompted me to send an email to her with my resume and I did. After sending me three different questionnaires with basic interview questions she sent me a contract to accept the position. I came to the ScamPulse.com to find out if the company was real and I found that someone else had experienced the same thing just two months prior. I immediately stopped making contact with this individual and found that the Linkedin page they used to communicate with me was gone and the phone number and address were fake. How disappointing.

ENPRO imposter tried to send me a paper check via email to cover the cost of equipment for an online appointment setter. position. Imposter went under the name Mr. Erin Rafter. After reaching the name seems there is a CEO Erin Rafter but HE IS A WOMAN. All that was given was my name which they already had, and I also included a fake bank name. Didnt sound legit after the crazy notion of sending me a paper check via email and the fact they expressed concern that I really needed to trust them. All I can say... these scammers are good but not good enough.

They have a wide variety of jobs advertised and circulating on Indeed, Glassdoor, and LinkedIn. Here is an example of one of the job ads:

Multiple positions are listed by the company, Omnia Philadelphia, a marketing company. The employees are located mostly in India and Cambodia. Most of them have no personal linked in pages. The hiring manger is Mchele Hirsch. She is associated with four other "employees". They all reviewed each other and recommended each other. However, when we went to the building that they told us to meet, the company is not listed at all the directory. The lobby security also has no knowledge of such company. The internet has no information about the company. The company website also has no information of the their works. Many people were hooked by their job descriptions (paid interns, no experience required...etc.)

A woman posted a job offer, gave me an actual website to look at the job. I went through a whole interview process. She had me download an app called telegram where are they finished the rest of my application process. Red flag started picking up later than they should have but when they had asked for money and she sent me a full picture of her driver's license with nothing blacked out so that I would send her a copy of mine as well. Once I told her was a scam she started using foul language. I did screenshot the majority of the conversation. Once they had deleted the conversation which I then had screenshots of already the original lady who had sent me the post started messaging me, threatening me and swearing at me and then deleted me.

Received an email saying they are pleased to let me know that I were selected as one of the Candidates for an online interview. I was looking for a Graphic Design Remote job so I thought it was from one of the jobs I applied to. Then instead of interview, they said I just need to fill out a Screening test/Interview form and return back to them. Then they asked me for name, phone and location, which I emailed back. In a few hours they told me I was offered a job at their company and asked me for more info. Address, starting rate and where I bank. Sadly I emailed them back those info. I realized that they were a scam after I contacted GMR Marketing, which is a legit company but GMR told me they do not used the email scammer used email. Please be aware! Hope other people can learn from my mistake.
