I was contact by a person names Michael Smith who claimed to be a recruiter for edar Staffing, he stated he located my contact information from zip recruiter. He had conducted a pre-screening and advised me that he going to pass my information over to the talent Acquisition manager. I was then sent up with a zoom call with a man name Derrick Lewis, he was black guy dressed well but had a green background. He had a couple of screens in front of him because he was jumping from screen to screen. When we got to the end of that video he scheduled me to speak with the hiring person who was Sean Sutton. He advised Michael has worked close with him and helped him bring in a good amount of people. Friday Michael wanted to schedule a call with me. Which we were able to connect and he went over feedback but as well an offer. He sent over an offer letter and an equipment contract, and stated I need to cover shipping cost. At first I was like weird but this whole thing took a week and I went through 3 interviews in the end I paid 256+ dollars and was then ghosted.

- Middleburg, FL, USA

Below is email I received. Can't find anything but generic website for a large company. Phone number only for one person even for both contacts Michelle and Aaron. Voice on call received was foreign and seemed rehearsed. Instincts all along said scam but never asked for money or personal info besides basic name, address and phone number. Addresses for locations don't match what business is for.

I have way more pictures but they also changed their name on Indeed! Basically, I applied to a remote position with them. I had a (what seemed to be) normal interview process (even though its a DC number the phone call seemed fake because the woman barely spoke clear English and the connection was HORRIBLE..as if she called long distance over dial up or something..). After being offered the position i said i would think about it. The links she sent me were from what APPEARS to be a legit site “Interwise LLC”..the links they send take u to a normal site, BUT I looked closer at her email address and hers said “Inter-wiser” with an R on the end..so its like she slightly tweaked the real company’s name as to not raise suspicion and if u dont pay close enough attention you’ll miss it. I knew something was off once she tried to tell me that providing my social medias and a pic of my face next to my ID…Im an HR person so I KNEW something didn’t seem right. I cussed her out and told her Id be reporting her and the made up company (Interwiser) but I dont know if the other company (Interwise) is in on it too. The job consisted of me having to pick up and process money from businesses 1-2 days a week and taking calls/emails the rest. The new name they changed themselves to on INDEED is Neslo I believe.

- New Rochelle, NY, USA

The whole job offer and assignment seemed like a scam, the girl told me I will be making about $3,600 a month working between 10-12 hours, running social media for Grain Millers company. I have contacted the company itself to find out if the person is real and they said that the person does not exist. The girl told me to create social media amount for the company on Facebook using my information but I never did it because that did not seem professional at all. I have seen that the company already has numerous social media accounts. the person have used 2 different email addresses and numbers. The initial number does not work anymore. The company itself now knows of the scamming person. The girl also told me that the company will send me funds to pay for marketing or something like that, I have numerous emails that she sent me. I was never interviewed which was the first weird sign, how do I get hired without being interviewed. Please reach out to me if any questions arise.

I was approached with a job position. I was asked to interview via email correspondent and selected after a day after they did some fake background screening. I was sent an offer letter from a different email who was posing as HR. I signed and returned it. They said they would send the money to let me purchase equipment. They sent a check. Later they said they have already placed the order and I need to pay the vendor and sent me their details

Mass General Brigham has recently become aware of a scam targeting job seekers, often posing as a human resources staff person offering a job or requesting an interview.

This is not a legitimate job posting, offer, or interview request. Applications to Mass General Brigham jobs must be submitted through our job database on our careers website.  We suspect that this is an attempt to fraudulently obtain funds from would be job seekers, as well as an effort to obtain personal identification information.  Please do not open any emails from Robert Gregory ([email protected]).

I was approached by a lady who said that she was from a company called East Way Ship and was offered a job. I signed a contract with them and gave them my ID and SSN so that they could run a background check. I worked for them for over a month and the accounting department sent me an email about what my pay date would be. On the day I was supposed to be paid they locked me out of my dashboard and all of their phone numbers were disconnected.

I was offered a job to receive packages and make sure there was no damage then forward them to a different address. I worked for them for over a month and they had set a date for when I was to receive my first paycheck. The day I was supposed to get paid they locked me out of my dashboard and all of the supervisors numbers were disconnected.

This was a company that I signed a contract for to work for. I was told I would receive my first check after 30 days. 30 days had passed so I asked for my check and they completely ignored me. I could not sign into my account anymore and could not reach anyone via phone. The number was disconnected and their website still has all of the company information to look like it was real but it is not. They took me off of their account that I had signed up for through their website. They are refusing to answer any phone calls, emails, and text messages. I had a base pay of $3150 and a bonus owed to me. I was taking packages opening them taking pictures of them sending the pictures to the company and then they would send me a prepaid label back. I would then drop the packages off at FedEx or UPS and then submit my receipt to the company , with this being said, that was 30 days of work with no pay. I am really just frustrated with the whole thing and was expecting them to pay me for the work I did for them. I want other people to know that this business is not a serious business it is a BIG SCAM!

I was first contacted via linked-in through someone who impersonated Nicholas Bates, a person within the company. From here, I was offered a screening interview, wherein many technical questions and what I hoped to earn were all asked. Although I saw this as odd, I was told that I'd gained the job almost instantly. I was asked my full name and place of residence along with phone number and email address to receive the job offer letter. Within this letter, I was asked to both sign and provide my driver's license. Given that it all looked well, according to past jobs I've had, I continued to provide what was asked of me. Going back to the letter, a thing that I found interesting was that I was supposed to receive a check to buy the equipment I'd need for the job. Once I had gone through all of this, I started to receive texts where I was asked for the number of the banks I used along with my account number. On top of this, I was told that any equipment I'd receive would be mine within the span of a couple of weeks. Having experienced situations where others tried similar tactics, I contacted the person being impersonated directly through linked-in, and here I was told that who I had been talking to was neither him nor part of the company. By speaking to him, I also learned that other such events had occurred to people who had contacted him and the company.

Additional information is that the position offered was one that the actual company was offering at the time. The company in question was ArborXR.

Scammer presented their selves as Blackstone Shipping. They shipped packages to my house, had me open the packages and take pictures of the products. Then they would email me a shipping label to drop the package off at UPS store. I had an "online dashboard" that showed packages shipped and amount I earned per package. My total pay was $2800. I was supposed to get paid on 02/28/2023 and was not paid. When I called the "business" number (405-648-8915/405-266-4711) and questioned my pay, I was assured I would receive it. After hanging up the phone, I tried to log in to my dashboard and my account was blocked already. I have called numerous times but have had no luck with talking to anyone or getting return phone calls. I filled out tax forms for this place and they have my social security number. Today I had suspicious activity on my card that the money was supposed to be deposited on.
