to Maria

Maria,

Sounds good, talk to you then!

After seeing this reported before, I was weary but still followed through with the Skype interview. Because of this, when asked if I preferred direct deposit or check, I made sure to say I preferred a check. It took her a long time to get back to me after the text-based interview and I suspect it's because of this. She asked me to check back later today, so I will try to provide an update because it's so open when you search for it online.

I was using Indeed for my job search as I graduated college, and I came across this video editor position with the company CIQ. Upon further investigation, I determined CIQ was and is a real company and I submitted an application. About a week later I received an email on how they thought I was a good fit for the position and that their positions fill up very quickly. I told them I was interested and they sent me an email back with a PDF (attached) titled "PRE-JOB BRIEFING" which was essentially a job offer letter which I also thought was strange.

They signed the letter as a random name and that I had to contact them to schedule my interview on an app called Wire - --Secure Messenger, which I thought was weird since I had never heard of this program in my life and other positions I've been interviewed remotely for have only used Zoom or Webex.

Then, I looked up the name they gave me and nothing bounced back to that name working at CIQ or this person even being real.

I then asked if this letter was legitimate and if I could have someone help me in the process, to which someone quickly replied "Follow the instructions."

So, I determined it was a scam and I called CIQ directly to report it, the operator told me that I was the fifth person that week who reported something similar.

I probably only lost my email, phone, name, and address to these scammers, but I didn't lead them on enough to allow them to steal money from me. They were offering an insane benefit package and offering to send me new equipment like a Macbook Pro which I would have to "front" the cost for if I let it get to that point.

Just trying to protect others, and hopefully, they can find these scammers.

I was hired as a account representative by Digi MD. Full on boarding and exchange of information. This was followed by a training period of about 3 weeks which seemed legit. Most communication was through a Telegram app. This included market research, customer service training and a lot of information exchange. I was instructed to receive a wire transfer and to my account and then the money to an account at US bank minus a partial salary for me and expenses incurred. Unfortunately I did it. When my bank reached out to say the transfer was false I realized I had been scammed.

I have been looking for an at Home job and have sent several applications out. I get this text about a job. They said they were with Q-Corp. I looked them up and they are from Las Vegas. so that seem official. He asked if I could do the interview now. I was away from home so I said no, I would get back to him. He sent a link for me to click on when I was available. So the Next day I clicked on the link and he ask me all the normal questions, just like a regular interview. after that he said he would get back to me about the job offer. He asked me to contact him the next morning. I contacted him the next morning and he said congratulating I got the job. I was thinking, this is too easy. Then he explained the position and how it all works. I was going to receive a check in the amount of $3150.00 I was to take $200 to purchase software and $100 for me as a bonus for signing up, then I was to take the left over funds and deposit it in a shipping account, he will send the info soon. So they can ship my computer & supplies needed for the work from home job. I had a funny feeling that this was a scam. I decided against taking the Job. I hope no one else falls for this.

I saw the job offer posted on glassdoor. The business reached out to me via text with the phone number I provided. They asked me to download an app and had a fake interview the same night of the first text.

Got a job offer for a virtual assistance. Look for them online, but there's no information or even social media. They only have a website that looks kinda suspicious. Their application job is only your personal information, don't include any past job experience.

I received a text about a position I never applied for with a company called Humatica. I was directed to a Microsoft teams interview where I would need to provide more information ASAP. After googling the company I saw that many others had this experience and had been scammed when they ask for your banking information for direct deposit.

I applied for a Data Entry Specialist position on LinkedIn. The "owner" replied that they're excited to move further with the application process and provide a cover letter and salary requirements.

I had suspicions and declined the offer. The "owner" emailed the next day and ignored my refusal, stating that the Data Entry Specialist position has been filled, but will re-open in October 2023, and wanted me to start an Executive Virtual Assistant position next week, offering $700/week with a sign-on bonus of $850 after 50 hours worked. If accepted he wanted to conduct a quick virtual interview.

I replied to move forward with the offer. Still, he was "too busy" for a virtual interview, as he is in Ontario, Canada on a business trip, and emailed me basic interview questions instead. Once I replied with the interview answers, he provided a contract, and stated the following:

"We need to set up your home office before giving you access to my emails, expenses accounts, and other confidential resources. I've already discussed with our authorized distributor to make all the necessary office equipment available to you. You'll receive the equipment listed below:

1) Apple Macbook Pro 16" Core i9 2.4GHz 4GB 1TB Radeon Pro 5500M

2) HP Laserjet M577f Laser All-in-One Color Printer

3) Fellowes Proteus 125 Thermal & Cold Laminator, 12.5" Width, Putty (5709501)

4) Powershred MS-450Cs

The following software programs will be installed and ready for your immediate use once you receive the equipment:

1) BS 1 Professional Time Billing 2022.2 Norton ghost 20.1

2) Sage 3000 cloud 2022 (SAGE) US Patent Single User Pack

3) Microsoft 365 Home Premium Word, Power-Point, Excel, and Outlook

4) MyOB Business Essentials Pro

A comprehensive training video will be included in the package to guide you on how to utilize the software programs for your tasks. None of the program is complicated or hard to use, you'll find this to be so after watching the training videos. A time tracking app will also be installed so you can effectively keep track of your hours.

I've instructed my accountant to make funds available to pay the invoice so the distributor can deliver the equipment to you next week. However, the distributor advised that they're having their annual account audit at the moment. In order not to jeopardize their audit process, they are only accepting payments via money orders during the audit period.

For your first task, I will instruct my accountant to cut out a check from my other business account and mail it to you via FedEx to be delivered on Tuesday. The funds will also include your first week pay of $700. Once you receive the payment, you're to get money orders from a post office near you and mail it out to the distributor so they can proceed to deliver the office equipment to you within 24hrs of receiving payment.

Please confirm you'll be available on Tuesday to receive and deposit the check in your account so the funds can be available to carry out the task."

The requests did not make sense, if it seems too good to be true, it probably is. Stay safe, and God Bless.

I was applying for a job that a friend of mine got me hooked up with and the job was for data entry at LAC groups. So I answered allied there questions and they told me I got the job it was data entry I would be making $25 and hour and it was a stay at home job and I could work whenever I wanted. I had to send pictures of my drivers licenses and social security card. So I did because I thought it was a stay at home job data entry. Then they sent me a check for $2000 it was for the softwares I would need for my laptop computer they were going to send me. They wanted me to print off the check and mobile deposit it. But my mobile deposit wasn’t set up yet. So they told me I had to go to the store and buy Apple gift cards and steam gift cards and finally Sephora gift cards I spent a total of $2000 dollars all together on these gift cards and now I believe I was scammed because everyone is saying I got scammed. I’m afraid to even try to deposit this check because I don’t want them to get my bank information because they already got my drivers license and social security card. A girl I went to school with said it was a legitimate job that she works there. And now the person is saying there is a issue with 2 of the gift cards they won’t work

I got a call about 3 weeks ago saying they found me on indeed . And at the time I didn’t think anything of it because I applied for so many jobs . Well they said they was global invest Florida llc the lady asked me about my work performance and told me that I would be answering phone calls , emails , and handling clients concerns . Well that was not the job at all ! They wanted to me to verify my identity on bitcoin cash app app and download a liberty x bitcoin atm app on my phone . They wanted me to send bitcoin currencies ! Also u can never reach anyone when u call it just keeps ringing all the phone numbers that I was provided with them do the same just rings no voicemail or anything . It will go to user busy, so right there I thought that was very odd . I think they are using this company and they are imposters! They are not American they are Arabic something definitely is not right . So watch out for this company please it’s not a legit company

This man calls me & says he's the owner of THRIVE LGBTQ and wants to know if I want to interview for a position I applied for on INDEED. He starts running down my resume and then asks me why I want the position. I immediately could tell from his approach and lack of professionalism & decorum that this was not legit and indeed a scam. I googled the organization while I was on the phone with the " owner ", to find countless others scammed by this fake organization. So I called the " owner" out on being a scam and told him to find another job. He got angry because he wasnt expected to be exposed, and started saying how I shouldnt care about what he does because it doesnt pay my bills. ( doesnt make sense, yes I know) Long story short, he angrily admitted to being a scammer and I immediately went back to my applied jobs to report the fake organization. Turns out they changed there name to Blessing an Dream ( doesn't make sense I know) They have 2 addresses: they claim to be in Columbus Ohio & Bartonsville, PA.
