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.)

This scammer has made a fake website, contact information, and address as well as fake email. Their point of contact is via email and they refuse to speak on the phone or video chat. Their job offers are all over the internet. Their company is not listed on LinkedIn and you can't find any employees that work for this company.

I have started shipping for this company and there are bonuses and payments. The packages on the website they have for consumers is primarily the out of the country offers. No package sent to me was going over seas. I have not been paid yet as it is a monthly payment they calculate on the 27th of the is month. The working contract I signed says both independant contractor and also that the company will be paying the taxes which is not a wording I have seen before. Also I have now received multiple calls from out of the country numbers when putting my banking information in as well as my contact and address information on a W-4

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.

I was contacted through email from someone names Lynn Teague or [email protected] saying they’ve been keeping my resume on file and would like to offer me a remote job position. She sent several emails for an application which I filled out. I waited a day or two and received a phone call from a man (786-600-1104) and he asked me a few questions about my current employment status, my address on file, and gave a brief description on the job duties. I received a few more things in my email which was a link to a control panel/dashboard that I would’ve been working from. They had me sign a W-9 form where I did put my social security number and address. Later, I received a phone call from a Jeremy H. Wilson from the same Florida phone number saying he wanted to promote me and I haven’t even started the job yet. Not even training. I never received packages to my home but soon after I spoke with him, I did some research and seen a few people saying they too were contacted through email, offered a from home shipping position and also be paid through PayPal. I am afraid that because I filled out one W-9 form with my social security number on it, that it may effect me in the long run. I need help to ensure that I am safe. Again, I’ve never received any packages to my house or even any training. These events took place over a course of 1 week and a half. Please be aware. And I think too that they got my resume from Indeed.

I received an email from a Jack Lockwood at [email protected], with information about a job with Lumaverse Technologies Inc. The email included much of the information from the Lumaverse website, as well as a vague "Technical Support" job description. The email asked me to send an email to a Bill Madden at [email protected] for more details about the job. I did this, and got a quick reply with more information from the company website, as well as a request to do an email interview. I was sent a list of questions which seemed to be mostly legitimate, except they also asked for my home address and the company with which I banked. I left out the personal information, and just replied to the normal interview type of questions, without providing any information that was not publicly available on my resume. After sending this information, I got no further replies. Upon looking more in depth into the issue, I found that the email address domain (lumaversetechnologiesinc.com) did not align with the domain for the information email address on the company website (lumaverse.com). I looked up the different domains information to find that they are owned by completely different companies with unrelated IP addresses connected to them. This was definitely a phishing scam to try to gather personal information from me.

Replied to an email that offered a job opportunity from recruiter "[email protected]" and received another email from HR urging me to apply to this position on their google cloud account (not their offical website). The job was receiving packages under my name for them and reshipping it to the addresses they provide and offered $800 a week after 30 days from the first shipment.. Seemed too fishy to me and after searching company's website, phone number etc; I have not been able to confirm the company information nor location except the website was built in Malaysia and there is ONLY one contact number for everything +1(215)717 7444 which noone answers... I believe this is a scam and hopefully this helps at least someone. Details are included in pictures

I was approached through e-mail with a job offer for Remote Regional Branch purchasing manager. They sent me several e-mails explaining how the company worked and some history of how it came to be. Claim was that the company is based out of Germany and has spread through out the globe. I just saw this same scam on this web site. Angela Meinhardt was going to be "my" supervisor and company contact. They explained how wages and commissions worked and that I would get plenty of training. Please see the other scam on here, its identical and long so I dont have to type all that out.. I have saved all correspondence. They ran a credit check on me and got a hold of my credit card information. I immediately locked my credit card accounts when I became suspicious. I will list the information they have given me: DOS ID 6778320, Incorp date 3-29-23, Entity type: Domestic Limited Liability Company. This was also listed as a remote position. If you have any questions please feel free to e-mail me : ************************
