I recently received an email from "Adnet Systems inc." through my personal website. The email said the following:

FROM: Adnet Systems Inc.

Hi,

Welcome to Adnet Systems. We recently looked over your background and we think you will be a good fit as a Remote Web Developer. I’d love to invite you to interview with us. Our slots fill quickly, so we recommend that you schedule as soon as possible to receive your preferred time.

Sincerely,

Stacy Gallagher

Normal so far. So I looked up their website (https://www.adnet-sys.com/) which looks normal and says they are contractors for NASA. I then went to their LinkedIn company page (https://www.linkedin.com/company/adnet-systems-inc-/) which appears normal on the surface, but after scrolling through the global search results on LinkedIn, I found the following post from a user which outlines the scam (https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:7033780675228946432?update...⇄ />
And if that weren't enough, searching for "Adnet systems scam" on google took me to the following reddit page:

https://www.reddit.com/r/Scams/comments/11m58y4/the_most_elaborate_job_scam_ive_...⇄ />
Which outlines the scam in greater detail.

According to the links above, the scam involves trying to get you to buy an expensive laptop up front while they mail you a $2000 check,. They then have you mail the laptop to the 'company' so they can install company software on it, then they refund the check, so you end up paying for the laptop out of your own pocket.

I received a text from a ***** ****** with GT Biopharma, Inc., informing me that they would like to interview me for the Remote Data Entry Analyst position. It pays $27 per hour and they wanted to know if I was interested. I said yes and they texted back stating that I will be redirected to the HR manager for more information about the position and company. The interview would be conducted via Signal Private Messenger app. I asked for more information on the job and have not had a response back. I have just now texted them stating that this is a scam and have blocked the number.

I was sent an email in relation to a job post I applied to through LinkedIn. They sent me a link that said www.identitycreditcheckup.com but when I clicked it, I was taken to www.identityiq.com to pull my credit report. The website says they are ScamPulse.com accredited but could not find the in the business search on BBB.org. They insist that I need to do this in order to complete a background check. I tried manually entering www.identitycreditcheckup.com but no website was found.

I got contaced by David King telling me about a job offer for work at home customer service role. We held the interview through Telegram, and asked me basic questions from ''why do want to work here?'' and ''why is a work from home position important to you?'' After the conversation, I got a message to fill out paperwork, and I would be sent a paycheck for the equipment I needed to buy for my position. I asked him through both email and on Telegram if I was hired, no reponse. I then got a message to sent a payment to a CashApp by the name of Nadine Molina $NinnaMolina to give her 400 for the downpayment from the check to cover ''expensives.'' The he told me to cash the check I sent him and email me proof so he would know how much was left over. When I mentioned again about being hired, there was no response. I then reported to my bank, and have the other recevier on CashApp and scammers.

I received an email from [email protected] advising for me to contact a hiring manager named Graham Jeberg via Signal where I was sent a letter about the company. Then I was asked three sets of questions. I was told to follow up the next day for an official response. I was then told I was hired and a check would be mailed to me via fedex or ups where I would have to deposit it into my bank account and then make office equipment purchase through their vendor.

They contacted me asking me to make two interviews by skype with Ashlyn Crenek, both of them typing without a conference call. They told me I passed the interviews, and they want me to start immediately. She started asking me personal questions like my bank account and I told her that I don't feel comfortable giving this information without a conference call. She never responded back.

I was contacted via email in relation to job profiles I had posted on Indeed and Linkedin. This person, who used the fake name "Sam Rayford", claimed I was a candidate for a PT "package shipping" work-from-home job. They sent me paperwork and a link to the following page to familiarize myself with their so-called shipping "dashboard". In this app you can see an inventory of packages that are due to arrive to your address. They require you to print out the outgoing shipping labels and apply them to the packages and then take them to be shipped. You are not supposed to pay to have them shipped and that's how the process worked for the first week and a half until they asked me to pay to have one item shipped, claiming there was a mix up in shipping label information.

During on-boarding I was contacted by 3 other scammers. Their names are as follows: Cassandra Hey, Henry Dane, and Ariah Ronald. All these scammers had emails after their names in this format: [email protected].

They all took turns informing me of how to use the dashboard via text and phone conversations.

Eventually I discovered online that they were liars and the so-called company has been doing this to people for quite some time without ever paying anyone anything in the end.

I'm posting this so that someone somewhere will incarcerate these people and shatter their little scam.

They pretended to offer a part time position, then asked me to download and install “Telegram” a messaging app. Then sent me a form asking me to complete for my bank account information. I said I didn’t feel comfortable doing that. I haven’t heard back from them.
