On indeed I applied for a personal assistant at a orthopedic center only to have a woman do an interview about marketing and working with clothing and other at home items rather than an actual orthopedic. She wanted to use me to market as a trial run without compensation

I was scammed by a fake remote job offer. The fake hiring manager (Anne Leinart) issued me a fake check ($4,950) for the purpose of purchasing the office equipment needed to perform job duties (data entry). Once check was deposited, per mobile app, I was instructed the next day to transfer by Zelle $2,000 to her fake supply manager (Justin Faris). Additionally, I was instructed to purchase four $500 Visa gift cards from Walmart totalling $2,019.76 for equipment. At this time I finally snapped to realize this was a well planned scam!! I expressed my concerns with the fake hiring manager (Anne Leinart), at which time she discontinued the conversation per RingCentral. I have attached a screen shot as evidence. Please let me know if there is additional information needed.

They provided a check with my name and $1,500.35. The letter attached asked for 3 gift cards to be sent to (213)-605-3516 with the back and the front showing. The check has the name Alexandra Harper and the letter has the name Ben Williams.

They sent an offer letter and conducted an interview. I was later told to send a picture of my ID front and back with me holding it. They then told me to download telegram where I was told all of my work would be done on there.

They offered a remote job. They did send a check to pay for supplies since I could not find the company on this website I declined the job. I provided them my address, phone number, and email. They even sent a contract for employment. The addresses did not match on the check and contract information.

Found job on ZipRecruiter and said to email [email protected]. That should’ve been a clue, but I sent my resume and was asked to contacted

Please contact Mr. Levi Sabastian on Telegram at https://t.me/LeviTaskUs to express your interest in an interview.

Another odd request, but I proceeded, asked what bank I used and that was a red flag.

I applied to job on Indeed.com for a Remote Customer Service Representative for Therapy Connections, LLC. Someone named Nicole reached out to me saying that she was the one that I was going to be working for and that she wanted to know more about me before I join her team. After a couple of emails back and forth, she offered me the position and asked for my address to send a check containing my sign on bonus and money to by the items that I needed such as a computer, scanner, etc. After receiving the check I looked at who the check was from and it was from a excavation contracting company names James W. Flett Co., Inc. I decided to reach out to the Nicole and to the person who said that they were the accounting office named Daniel Lewis. Once I started inquiring and told them that I wanted to speak on the phone to make sure that this offer is legit, they just disappeared. I have not heard anything since. This is a huge deal considering that I am out of a job right now and I have missed out on several opportunities.

I was curious to what he would say because i already knew it was a scam. No legit company contacts you at 9 pm and then immediately wants to do an interview. So I almost started an interview with him but decided not to waste my time. i did my due diligence and googled them. Wallace Travel Group is real…however these people added an s at the end…trying to be slick. I contacted the actual company and alerted them. They had never heard of the man that contacted me.

I saw the advertisement for School Transportation Drivers for Special Needs Children.I applied for the position and sent an email to ask about the work hours and my altered schedule. A female representative called from the number 215-486-2555 which is a Pennsylvania number. We spoke about the position, the hours, and the pay. I was then sent 2 emails to began the on-boarding requirements for the driving position. The address listed for the company is in Orlando, Florida. But there is not zip code for the address. I contacted ScamPulse.com in Florida to ask about the company. A ScamPulse.com representative called back later stating she could not find any information about the company. She called the number I provided and it was a dead end. The posted address in Florida is not valid. I am so happy I researched this company before I provided my personal information.

I was contacted through email for a job opportunity as Project Manager. The email stated that they were International Shipping and Trade Company called IP Logistics Co. or International Ports Logistics Co.A person named Annie Bauer with the supposed comany's Human Resources Dept contacted me first with the position offer. Annie asked if I was interested and to fill out some forms for on boarding as a contractor. I completed the forms and sent it back to the address of [email protected]. A supposed second employee from the company's Human Resources Dept emailed me and told me more about the position. His name was Nicholas (Nick) Westerman - [email protected]. I thought that the offer was too good to be true. The company was opening another site in Maryland and needed some to help run the new location. They stated in the email that I would undergo training for four weeks and complete a final test. Once I passed the test, I would be flown to the company headquarters to given an official employment offer and complete another week of training. They stated that all expenses would be paid for the trip, lodging, flights, everything. They also stated that if I did well in the training exams I would received a $5200 check after the end of four week training.

I began training on the week of September 6th, 2022 and completed training on October 10, 2002. I corresponded with Nick throughout the four week training period as he stated he would be my training manager. I received another email on October 4, 2022 that a $5200 check has been processed and it would be sen to my address given to them through on on-boarding papers. After I submitted my final test, I was told that it would take a week to grade and he would reach out with the next training details. I didn't hear from him again until October 14th, 2022, when I sent an email inquiring about my training payment of $5200. He responded that he would contact the Zurich headquarters about the payment. Since then I have not heard from him since or anyone from this supposed company and I just discovered that the International Ports Logistics Co. website is now down and/or no longer exists.

I received a text from a number claiming that they were interested in interviewing me for a position at their company. They did not specify which position that would be. And asked if I was available at 5:30 on 10/31/222 for a zoom interview. I was not familiar with that company, but I recently applied for a lot of jobs on Indeed, and thought I may have forgotten. However, I did not see the posting on my Indeed archive either. Nevertheless, I said that I would be willing to interview, but asked if they could send me the specific position that I applied for. They ignored my question about sending the specific position that I supposedly applied for and said that they would send an email with a link to the zoom interview. They also said that they would send a text message 30 minutes before to confirm.

I received the email with the zoom link on the day of the interview. I looked up the names of the HR representative ("*****) and hiring manager (****** *******") included in the email and could not find them on the company website or on the company's LinkedIn page. I also did not find any job openings related to anything I applied for on the company website. This company would be D2S Inc. which is a legitimate company, but as far as I know, it is not based in the state where I live. And finally, the email address was flagged with a question mark by Gmail, indicating that the email address could not be verified.

In light of all of these inconsistencies, I decided not to go through with the interview. I also received a text to confirm the interview 2 minutes before it was scheduled. Just to be clear, I never attended the interview and only talked to this person a few times through text messages. Regardless, I am almost positive that this was a scam. I applied for several jobs on Indeed in the months leading up to this, so assume that this is how this person got my email and phone number. I am just relaying this information and reminding everyone to always verify the identity of the person interviewing you, particularly for remote interviews.

I have been applying to many jobs recently. I got a text saying they have received my application and told me a little about a customer support remote role for $25 and hour. Asked me reply with "i'm interested" if i was still interested. I replied i was interested. They told me to add [email protected] to my zoom for an interview. I texted back asking what company this is for. No response.

I added mary thomas to my zoom thinking we would have a video chat. This was not the case. It was text only asking me to answer questions. Then told me I needed to buy equipment and they would reimburse me. I asked a lot of other questions that were dismissed and was told I have a limited to time let them know if I would like to move forward...

Looked at this BBB.org site and saw similar patterns.

The Wilson alliance appears to offer part time jobs in cryptocurrency trading. They provide fake appointment letter, asks for account information for salary deposit. Next during “training” phase they ask new joiner to map cash app Zelle with their bank account. Receive $1000 in account credit and then spend $960 to purchase crypto for some investor and keep $40 in personal account. Entire transaction happens from personal account. They cancel the account deposit and “employee” is now obliged to pay the bank. Interview only through phone call.

I wanted to contact you to inform you of a job scam I was lured into. I found the job listed under the jobs tab on LinkedIn. It appeared when I searched for “remote job data entry.” The company is “LSB Industries Inc.” The company name, address and logo were used as part of the job posting.

I applied and was emailed and offered an interview. The interview was conducted via Skype messaging only, leading to me being offered the job that day. I was then emailed a contract and w-4 form to which I completed, signed and returned, with a copy of my drivers license front/back pictured. The scammer then had access to my social security number, knows my address, etc. The contract was very thorough and explained how I would be sent working materials/equipment/software/etc. I was told I would be in contact with a supervisor. The dates of me being sent equipment or getting to interact with the supervisor continued to be pushed back multiple times.

The Skype messaging continued and the ‘hiring manager’ instructed me how to use multiple electronic checks to deposit to my bank and then send money to ‘vendors’ via Apple Pay and Zelle. This continued for 2 weeks. I was told the money sent was being used to purchase software and equipment for my home office.

Once a check bounced and the amount was withdrawn from my account, the ‘hiring manager’ stopped talking with me via Skype.

I have taken all information, emails, Skype messages, and contract/W4 to the police and filed a fraud report. The police instructed me to contact IRS, BBB, Linkedin and LSB Industries.
