I received an email saying “We want to offer you a completely remote work of a Personal Assistant.” I assumed I had applied through LinkedIn job posting because I’m currently looking and applied to a bunch. Then we had a 3 minute phone call and already sent me an employment contract to fill out personal information. The website is fake and when I search the corporation online it doesn’t seem to exist. I try calling the number and no one ever answers.

Same as the other job offer 4 weeks training 2,400 at end and 5,400 if top 10%. The sent materials everyday then offered a position but wanted me to use my credit card to buy products with money they fund.

Sent a 2 checks for 1960 and asked to deposit the check and deduct 400 for my commission wanted me to buy gift cards take pictures of the gift cards and receipts and send it to Luis Holmes

I was contacted about an online Administrative Assistant Data / Entry Clerk job. I was instructed to download a Signal App on my phone as a means of conducting the interview. After the interview I was accepted for the position. I was then told that they were going to mail me a check to cover the cost of the equipment to get me started as soon as possible. I received the checks and was instructed to deposit them into my bank account. The next morning I was asked if the funds were showing they were available. Then because the funds were available I was instructed to send $1000.00 to Candice Jones through Cash App. Then I was instructed to withdraw $7500.00. After the withdraw I was told to take the money to a Bitcoin machine (which I had no idea of how to work or what it was.) I was given step by step instructions on depositing the money into the Bitcoin machine. Then When I looked at my account on the morning of 7/5/2023, I owed all this money and the people that I was going to go to work for were no longer answering me back. Now I am thousands of dollars in behind with my bank, going to lose my home, my car, and have no way to take care of my son or even look for a job because of this. I feel as if my life has been destroyed just because I was looking for at home work to finish school. I thought that Indeed, Linkedin, and Glassdoor were safe job sites.

Atlantis Consulting offers to be hired for an open position for Customer Service Officer (Remotely). Asking to complete I-9 form with social security number, name and address, also for a copy of a photo ID. They call for a phone interview, and the only contact email is from James Malone, Customer Service Manager. Malone is the only in direct contact via email and a phone app called telegram that I had to download to my cell phone. Please see uploaded files.

I have been looking for a job for over 4 three months. The only interested employee comes to be a scammer. I am despaired to find job and now probably victim of Identity theft. Could you please help me with this situation.

Thank you in advance for your help to this matter.

Respectfully,

I answered an ad for a work at home job, posted by T**** ******. She then told me to download Telegram Messenger to have an interview online. She gave me a link number and said ****** *****s would be who I’d talk to. Brandi asked me questions and then said she thought I was a good fit, to wait online to be vetted by board at her job. She then stated I was hired and to please send information. I then asked her about job and where it’s located. She replied Data Entry and Pennsylvania. Then she asked me for the front and back of my state ID and if I had an active credit card. The company would need the credit card information to send me the computer equipment I would nee. I then asked her to send me company information as I was wary of being scammed. Once I asked for validation information I was ghosted no replys from Brandi Coates after that.

Applied for a job listing on ZipRecruiter, linked to an external site https://careers.one.pet/ - was contacted by Keira Scarlet and informed I was hired for the job without an interview. Lots of personally identifying information was requested, which I declined to submit without verifiable contact information from the company said to be handling recruiting for OnePet, LLC - I haven't gotten a response to my request and am concerned about the validity of HLPM Consulting, Inc. in relation to hiring at OnePet, LLC.
