Sent email to me and maybe 25+ other emails with link to connect to forms for a remote job I did not seek interest in. Sent to my email saying my inventiveness of my resume...... I am looking for a job but did not solicit information from this person for information on posted job. Job websites have resume copies so perhaps selling information or promoting to outside entities.

I applied for a job and he messaged me on LinkedIn telling me to submit my resume to an email. I did and he responded with the job, its duties, benefits, ect. Eventually he offered me the job and I accepted. He then sent me a check for supplies and first weeks pay. He wanted me to buy equipment from this company with it but the check was for more than the equipment would have cost. I only realized this was a scam after I had deposited the check.

I lost my job in March. Ellevis reached out to me set up an phone interview and advised I would be a 3rd party shipper making $4000.00 a month part time. My first paycheck would be within 45 days and it would be a paper check mailed to me. During the process I did the shipping at no cost to me Small items. I then was asked to open a business account with one of 3 banks. I chose Bank of America. They needed $100.00 to open the account. I opened it using my debit card. I kept the documents and advised the person I spoke with David, that I was charged the $100.00 he advised I would be re-imbursed on my check. After opening the account there was no contact. I received a phone call once a week for 4 weeks telling me the client would be making payment and I needed to be on the look out in my dashboard and email. After 3 weeks I contacted them and the a woman spoke to me, the first time I ever spoke to her, she advised that I would be paid the following week. The week of July 31, I received a call from David advising that I would be paid this week and the client would be making payment. As of 8/3, I had no contact. I reached out via email and text to both numbers and the two emails I had advising I had not been paid and I was requesting my check be overnighted and that I receive information on setting up benefits and on setting up direct deposit. Later on the evening of 8/3, with no contact my access was not accepted to log into my dashboard. I have two email addresses: [email protected] and [email protected]. I also have two phone numbers: 646 583 1746 and 404 382 9083.

The first text I have received stated "I am Christian from Fortive Corporation, we are very pleased with your listed qualifications on ( ATS Platform) and would like to conduct and online interview for the open position of (Data Entry Specialist). The Pay-rate is $25/hr. training is $15 this is strictly an online work from home job. will you have any issues working from home?" After texting Christian for a bit, he redirected me to speak with the hiring manager via Microsoft Teams with the link (https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FAArCzqVL2bg9FtpgE) Once connected I was texting Samuel Sullivan and he conducted an interview via chat (texting) on Microsoft Teams. After I answered all of his questions he stated that he will relay the details of my interview to Admin Desk for review and asked for my email.

They offered a job to be an "order coordinator" which meant that they set packages to me and then I would relabel and ship them out. I had a website for logging the packages an I was put under a probation period which meant that I worked for 30 days then I got paid and had to wait to see if I would be made a permanent worker at the company. They said they would pay me by a check in the mail but it never came and I am pretty sure they blocked my email so I can't contact them. I also have another email for payroll stuff, [email protected] and their name was Marie Spencer. I also have a contact of my curator who gave me orders and answered any questions I had, [email protected] and their phone number is (213) 973-6793. Also the job offer was remote work but on their website they had positions in the state of California.

I was contacted via email from a company that found my resume on a website and stated that my experience fit their requirements. And to apply if I was interested further.

I did and worked for this company for 28 days and that’s when the red flags started. They stopped calling and responding to any correspondence. I canceled the account that I had given and no money was lost. Just time and energy for a complete scam. I will be filing a lawsuit for my time lost.

I was offered an online remote work from home position as a technical writer for Kapstone Tech and I was contacted by James Van Holts through email and GoogleChat about further action with employment. I was issued checks to be deposited into my bank account to be sent to third party vendors including Vivian Johnson ($Johnsonviv) and Bunmi Bakare ($bunmibakare) to pay for equipment that would be delivered to my current residential address. I have included their cash tags from CashApp. I have contacted my bank and CashApp services about this matter and am waiting for further action to be taken place. I would like to get this issue resolved. Thank you.
