I got an invitation to interview via text a few days ago, I’ve had 2 interviews so far, although I’ve looked back through all my LinkedIn applications and my email and text messages and I can’t find any record of applying to this company. One of the interviews was conducted by a 20-year-old at the City College of New York which was a bit odd, and when I looked at the company's address it is just listed on their website as "Midtown Manhattan." They've reached out for a 3rd interview although I now believe it is a scam and that they will eventually ask for some sort of personal information.

I received an email stating it was from Tyler Thompson Ventures which I applied to the open position on Indeed.com. The email proceeded to say that a certified cashier check would be sent to my address and I could deposit it. Then I was instruction to go to a my banking institution. As far as a check is concerned it is somewhere in Post Office facility. I am to nervous to accept the offer of employment. I check the address on the offer letter and it is a run down auto body shop. I am out No Money. But aware of scammers.

This company want you to deposit a fake check into your account. The amount is around $1350.00. Once you have deposited the check into your account, go get 2 American Express gift cards. Scratch off the number in the back of the gift and email them the card information, This action will put your account in the negative of $1350 and any additional fees that will come.

I was contacted through email, then Skype text interview. Then was sent the following document. I did not submit the document. I did share information like my name, phone number, address, and my bank name, and email address. I did not share any information about myself any further than that.

I had an interview scheduled for 1:30. I checked in at 1:25. About 1:32 the person appears on my zoom meeting app and then clicks off. I was waiting on the phone for 15 minutes before he dismissed me from the meeting. I thought maybe he had a important call or something but he never introduced himself or acknowledged me in any way. I was left feeling like maybe once he saw me I was age discriminated.

This job contacted me offering me an at home job, with a proposition that honestly sounded too good to be true. After receiving questionable items from this company, I then began further investigations myself finding out they may actually be using stolen credit cards to purchase and resell illegal items. I’ve read claims saying this company will harass workers, and they’ve even taken money out of the accounts of a few as well. Telling us we have to wait a 30 day probation period before receiving any kind of payment, some workers reached their 30 days and received no pay, and were blocked from the dashboard displaying their payment amount.

Used the Seasoned App which came up through Google search for jobs. I applied through app for several jobs including Buffalo Wild Wings. Received message in app and through email confirming an interview date and time. Even received an email from "a hiring manager (Tee)" confirming interview and letting me know they were looking forward to meeting me. I proceeded to go to my interview at correct place and time. The manager informed me that it was basically a third party scam and was not affiliated with them nor did they have any of my info/application. They also informed me that this was not the first time this had happened. During application process I entered some of my personal info such as birthdate, address, phone number, email, etc.

The company website has sketchy information, does not list clients and overall just seems like they have no idea what they are talking about.

I applied for a job for Uinvestible, I found the job on LinkedIn. The position was a Collections job. The company supposedly offered real estate and investment services. I was supposed to work remotely, from my home in SC. They conducted a phone interview and then called back with one additional question. They told me that I would hear back within 24 hrs. They emailed an offer letter and I-9 form the next business day. I sent the information back and once I “cleared HR” I received a list of “past due” customers to reach out to, with no formal training or script to go by and no company email or phone number to use. They stopped all communications once I posted on LinkedIn about it being a possible scam and the website is now suspended.

I was contacted by someone that identified as Kathleen Watson from Eolas Therapeutics. She first reached out by text and then by email. She told me that she had a position for a data entry clerk. She told me to send my resume to her email, which I did. She then told me that I needed to complete a small assessment to see if I would be a good fit for the company. I completed the assessment and then was sent an email stating that I was being offered the job. The email stated that they would be sending me a check for the purchase of office equipment. At this point, I had not spoken to anyone in person and was feeling like it was a scam. I searched the ScamPulse.com website and found someone else's story that was almost identical to what I have experienced so far.

I applied for a job and customer service on indeed. I got the job and they sent me a check for supplies and my first check. I deposited it and it was sent back. I lost $2,900 because it was fake and my account didn't have it to cover it so when they sent the check back I had to pay for my account

Contacted regarding a wellness consultant position from "fitness company" Northstar Inspired. They scam people out of money for their exam study guides. Received a study guide that was so out of date, most of the information is now wrong. The exam is so vague that is was impossible to even understand what the question was asking. Multiple people online have been scammed too, so I just want to warn people before this fraud company steals more money from people.

Job offer to be paid $2400 to receive packages at my house and ship them out to address on shipping label. I did all the work required but on payday they locked me out of online dashboard won't answer phone or texts or emails. They gave me legit looking it's and secretary of state registered business papers so I believed them and had me fill out a w-4 so they have all my info. I signed up for direct deposit so they have that info as well. I'm scared.

The job posting was on LinkedIn for a remote personal assistant for the Gibbs Group, LLC. I applied via LinkedIn (no external site). I was emailed by the scammer. I did not realize it was a scam until the first "task" for the job included depositing a check. This person has access to LinkedIn as an employer (though now I went to see and their job listing and profile are gone, meanwhile LinkedIn did not notify me or any of the applicants who applied via easy apply within LinkedIn to this job); he has access to my email, and my phone/address/full name. His email is ************************** and this is potentially their scam website or the company they are lying about being a part of ************************************ 1st email:

Hi,

I received and reviewed your application regarding the Personal Assistant position at Gibbs Group, Inc.

This position is a home-based and flexible part-time job. You can be in any location or work from your home doing all the activities and it doesn't affect your present job if you're employed now.

You will work on the average of about 5 - 10 hours per week and will start by paying you $700 per week which will rise to $1000 depending on how effective you are. This job is temporary and could possibly be a permanent one for you based on how you deliver your duties

I would have loved to conduct a telephonic interview with you but due to my busy schedule, it'll be difficult to do that.

Here are the interview questions, answer all questions, and respond as quickly as you can.

What are your primary skills and expertise?

What are your strengths and weaknesses?

How quickly do you respond during working hours?

What would you do if you had a deadline and your computer suddenly crashed?

How do you handle a situation when you may not know how to complete a task?

Let’s say your inbox is flooded with messages. How do you prioritize which ones to respond to first?

What do you do when a client has trouble articulating their needs?

Which kind of skills do you believe are the most important for a virtual customer service representative?

What software programs are you familiar with?

How would you describe your computer skills?

Thank You and Best Regards,

******* ***** ***** ****** **** -

I was emailed directly saying I was offered a job as a personal assistant. When I replied to accept, I got 1 phone call that was supposed to be an "interview" that lasted 3 minutes. I was then sent paperwork: application and contract and sent back. I was then told I'd have a month long internship and be training online via Webex from a "Mia Johnson." There was no video, phone, or voice communication through any of this. I was just told to do data entry by entering multiple individuals' information into a spreadsheet: name, address, email, and phone and was also asked to open a Wise account to "learn investing." Nothing was ever distributed into that account, but I was instructed to move it to my own bank account once funds arrived.
