My job was to receive the packages take pictures of the product in the package print a new shipping label and drop it off at a fedex or ups.

I was sent a job offer via text 1/3/2023 and the text stated: Good morning, I am Mr. James Smith from (Thirty Madison. )…Your resume has been reviewed for the position of an Administrative Assistant, Data Entry, IT Project, Management, Clerical Assistant and Customer Service and would like to invite you to an interview and we pay nothing less than $30.50 hourly, Kindly reply 'YES' if you are still interested in more info...Thank you.“ I replied yes and then the conversation moved to Zoom text, which raised an eyebrow for me because I never seen a legitimate company ever do this. I was able to get a screenshot of the bogus convo, and what stood out was they told me I would be getting a check for supplies for work I never done. Then asked who I bank with, which was another red flag. Also employers usually don’t want to talk and chat all day after they provided a congratulations you were qualified and hired response. They almost got me but my brain started working after a while.

This person sent an offer letter for a position. First she sent a link to do a test about the position she were offering. It was in the official website of the company. I guess they hacked it. It was so professional and they were using all the branding so I thought it was real until she made the offer without any interview

Contacted me via email through an Indeed application for a remote shipping job. Salary at $2400 + bonuses. I figured it was a scam once packages started coming in and seeing that on the USPS site that there is no legitimate reshipping company.

Was offered a job position through email. Was sent employment contract, tax documents, and there was legitimate work. After "30 day probationary period" all contacts disappeared and email sent that a paycheck was sent in the mail. I never received that paycheck.

Liveops advertising as at home customer service representative position. Applied, received interview acceptance and it turned into ongoing stream of next steps. Paid for a background check then was directed to complete an online enrollment through oforce.com to complete enrollment. Oforce sent a link from [email protected] to set up for payment. (Direct deposit or debit card method) This seemed legit but much too shady to provide all personal information for payroll process. I continue to receive the same computer generated email and text message reminding me to complete the enrollment process.
