I replied to a job on LinkedIn for a data entry position. The person is saying he'll send me a computer and printer for work. But, his distributor will only take a money order. They are FedExing me a check of $4915. Track # 776904155507 and I'm supposed to deposit it in my bank and wate for it to clear and then send them a money order. I still have the person thinking I don't know it's a scam. I haven't got the info on where to send the check yet. I wanna help bust this person.

Thank you,

Howard Manski

Did it come from someone named Marcello Pellegrini?
I received an email from that same email and address of the business.

I interviewed with a recruiter on Friday about potential employment with the company. The interview lasted less than five minutes. The recruiter said he would be in contact with me this week about possible positions and advised me to contact him if I had not heard anything. I thought today would be a good day to follow up even if it's a holiday. He didn't respond, but I figured it must be the holiday. I thought I'd call and did not go anywhere. However, I got sent an email prompting me to schedule an interview and had an email address to send an email to if I had questions. I sent an email to the address stating I had already had an interview. The email address was invalid. Because of that, I have concluded that this "company" is a scam outfit and should be investigation for advertising bogus jobs.

The scammer approached me for online job and during process. I had to complete task by adding money or cryptocurrency in order to finalize and get paid. When I realized, I was already at $800 blocked because I didn’t want to add anything. And from the so called salary included it should have been $1.846 frozen in the account.

Recently, I applied for a community job and had an interview. During the interview, I realized I had met the gentleman before. The first time I met him, he was kind of standoffish and funny style. I can’t really explain it, but it was odd. Usually, I don’t judge people, and once again, I didn’t judge. He interviewed me via zoom. Initially, he responded to my comments, but later, he stopped responding. I understand people are busy and may not always respond promptly. In the interview, he asked me about the project he’s building and mentioned he wanted to do a survey. No problem, I thought. I could tap into my community and network to figure out what’s needed for the survey. Then he asked me a trick question?—?or at least, that’s how I felt. He asked if I could get people for the survey. I didn’t understand the reason for just getting people when I’m not hired because anyone who knows about social media, leads, or community building knows it’s not a one-time activation. It involves building a product, resources, and a funnel system to identify needs and place people accordingly. When he asked me that, I wasn’t sure if it was a trick question. Our first conversation was on Monday, and we were supposed to touch base again on Wednesday. By Wednesday, I had gotten 25 people for the survey, although he claimed only 14 people had participated. I knew this wasn’t true because I walked 25 people through the survey. This was a test with no incentives, just to see if I could do it. In the second interview, he was hyped about the number of people I got for the survey. We were supposed to meet on Friday to discuss contract details since he technically did not want to hire me, which was fine. However, on Friday, things changed. Instead of a regular interview, he started probing me for information. When I identified this, I stopped the conversation and stopped giving him information that I felt he should be paying me for. Then I realized that none of the things he said were true. He questioned whether his company would work or not, and I started thinking, “What am I doing here?”

Strange number texted me offering a remote job, which i have been searching for lately, to review apps and get paid commisions and base salary working consecutive days. Once the balance in my account was negative, they said i had to pay it for the amount to rollover and make the money that was being withheld. The amount went way too negative to the point where i could not pay it back or retrieve my money back.

Received a simple remote job offer position and the more it sounded too good to be true the more research I did and found it to be fraud.

I thought this was a job that I was going to get paid hourly. They told me that I was going to be making 2,000-3,000 dollars extra a month. But when I signed up they did not explain to me that I was also signing up for a loan. I thought that it was a regular contract that I was signing. But they left the details out of the loan.

This company hired me for a remote work from home position. They told me they we're going to set me up with a home mini office. They fedexed me a check for startup business and told me to deposit it into my bank and it should clear in 24 hours. And then I would be given instructions how to order my office supplies from their vendors. My FedEx package was due to arrive at 11:00 a.m. this morning via FedEx. It was the check for my startup office equipment. But FedEx intercepted the package and took it back to the closest FedEx office. I still haven't been told what the issue was.
