Signed on to what I thought was a secret shopper site. I was a shopper once before. Turns out to be illegitimate. Sent me a check for over $3000 to visit local Walmart, make purchases, file a report and keep the left over.

Signed on to what I thought was a secret shopper site. I was a shopper once before. Turns out to be illegitimate. Sent me a check for over $3000 to visit local Walmart, make purchases, file a report and keep the left over. I contacted by text and advised to delete my information from their database. Got another notice to check my mail box as another check was on the way. Sent email advising a second time to stop sending me this stuff but I'm afraid it will keep coming.

He offered a remote job. Wanted me to buy gifts for "kids" and we would "meet" when he returned from Vermont in a couple weeks. He was going to have me start immediately and send me my first paycheck immediately.

I received a text message from the phone number listed and the message reads as follows:

“ Good day, I’m Joann Price. I'm contacting you in regards to your resume reviewed by our company (APPELLO PHARMACEUTICALS). From INDEED.

We're excited to invite you to interview for the position of a Remote Data Entry Analyst/Customer Service Representative, work from home with a pay of $35 per hour. We would like to know if you're Interested?”

After double checking on Indeed, I saw that I did not apply for a job there nor was it listed on the website as a company. After a quick Google search, I seen that it was a scam.

I applied for a lease/ purchase trucking position at kda logistics in dec 2023 after their advertised offer to make 6-8 k in revenue for the truck. After I was flown to the corporate off in Illinois I find out the brand new trucks that were advertised are not offered in real life. I was shown one truck and not having an income I had no choice but to take what I was offered to make some money to feed my family. Then I get out on the road and have to come out of pocket for tolls. Money I didn’t have. So I took a load that took me to the house for the weekend. I got my first check it was roughly 580 but the overall revenue was no where close to 6-8 k so far after a month out in the road and no 6-8 k weeks I was left in Kansas with no possible way of getting my time off at home. I was sent two loads to my area .I confirmed the pickup and the both canceled before I picked them up and I was sent to the west coast again instead of getting my home time . The closest they could get me was Kansas and left me to sit for another weekend with a .26 cent paycheck for a 70 hr week. This week I payed my own way home even though I had a fuel card it was turned off so they could try to stop me from getting home although I pay for the fuel I use on the card. This week I didn’t even receive a paystub for the one week I made 7200 in revenue. This company is a scam they call you an independent contractor but treat you like and employee. I have lost more money than I have made. They are here to make themselves rich and scam your hard earned money while they do . They are not supposed to have a say in how the work gets performed just what work needs to be performed. You are not a contractor if they dictate how to do your job.

Sent an email as a recruiter asking me to apply for a role. When I sent my resume, she indicated it was not ATS friendly and directed me to a paid site to spend money to adapt my resume. My resume IS very ATS friendly and has been vetted on several occasions. I assume she get money from the other site by dangling jobs to people and since it's only $17 to get your resume "fixed" on the site, most people probably do it.

I paid for a downloadable guide to assist with updating my resume and cover letter. But once I paid and received the download none of the files would open. This site was referred to by someone named Patricia Chamberlain with a company called Brighty Agency in the U.K. after I applied for a role on ZipRecruiter.
