I was contacted via email regarding a job opportunity for a "Front Desk Receptionist" position at a company called "NESC Staffing Solutions." The email itself seemed legitimate but the email address was not ( [email protected] ), as it included details about the job, pay, and benefits, and even instructed me to set up a Microsoft Teams account for an interview. https://teams.live.com/l/invite/FEAwMH-uTfYhcvPlwE on Teams Chat for the job briefing and interview session. During the communication, I was informed that I had been selected for the position and would receive training. The scammer claimed I would receive a check from the company to purchase necessary work materials, which would then be shipped to me. I was told that I needed to buy the materials from a specific vendor, keep the receipts, and provide proof of purchase. The scammer was posing as "Lary O'Keefe, National Account Manager at National Engineering in Portsmouth, New Hampshire." However, after further investigation, I found that the email address used by the scammer was [email protected], while the legitimate email for the real hiring manager is [email protected]. The company's website (https://www.nesc.com/12-signs-job-scams/) also warned about job scams, specifically mentioning the use of fake email addresses and fraudulent checks. The scammer's tactic was to offer a seemingly legitimate job opportunity but used the false promise of sending a check to purchase materials as a way to manipulate me into performing financial transactions. I suspect this is a scam to collect personal information or potentially involve me in money laundering activities. I stopped responding after realizing the red flags, and I want to report this incident to help prevent others from falling victim to similar scams. I am still in contact with the scammer, who continues to send messages about providing paperwork, orientation, and a job offer letter. They instructed me to be online at 8:00 AM tomorrow for additional information about the check to purchase work materials. I plan to save the conversation and send it to the company website. And then I will block him on Microsoft Teams and any further emails sent to me by this individual.

I worked for him for a month and I was never paid for a single job. Most of his workers are under the table and working without the legal credential required.

Linkedin is contributing to incorrect jobs report information.

I track all jobs I apply for.

I've applied for 1,728 jobs since January 4, 2024.

I notice MANY on Linkedin that say "reposted in the last 2 days" but that I applied for months ago, some I've applied for several times over this past year!

Linkedin is guilty of FALSE ADVERTISEMENT - advertising hundreds of ghost jobs - jobs that DO NOT EXIST.

I am handicapped and been looking for work a long time, using the website LinkedIn.com

Had a recorded podcast with supposed Agents, not live. No bank or ss was asked or given. Only my name was given, not Legal name. When an Official employment letter was requested, everything went silent. The scam stated he just need either, monthly payment of $49. for all the access to the needed website/booking sites. Or $33/m, a yearly saving of one-time payment of $396. Neither was given by me! Find and jail these 2 for life for false advertising and job fraud.

I applied for a position through a job posting on LinkedIn, the actual application was not on LinkedIn. I do not have the actual application site, but it was one of the countless job posting aggregation sites. The posting is different from the actual job in the sense that it is not an actual salaried or wage-based position, rather, it is a multi-level marketing scheme to get people to "subscribe" to their host service to start their own "business". This is not what was advertised, and there is no universe where a job posting legitimately results in money going from the job seeker to the supposed employer. I'm on the verge of homelessness after being laid off from the tech industry, and this is one of many scams I've encountered in my job search. I eagerly awaited the "interview" which was a prerecorded video presentation made to appear as a live-streamed presentation with real people as the audience. The reality is the "audience" are bots preprogrammed to provide the appearance of a live audience, the video presentation isn't live, and it largely seems to be a combination of a multi-level marketing scheme and data-mining. I know what to look for, I used to build the legitimate technological platforms these people are using to scam everyone (they're using Webinar for their "presentations"). Kindly do what needs to be done to assist in putting an end to their tomfoolery, or hire me to pursue a similar mission.

Hacked Experis (Manpowergroup) recruiter reached out to me offering a good to be true position. Promptly asked me to provide Drivers License and W-2 form. Did not realize it was a scam until it was too late. After sending in my personal information, asked me to pay shipping fee for the "remote working equipment", asked for $188 to be precise. Email used to reach out via email was **username**@manpowersgroup.com (did not realize there was an "s" hidden within the email address). Scammer was smart enough to have a fake email address ready on-hand. They also have another email address for their "Supervisor" with email address [email protected].

I contacted Kimberly Anna and went through interview chat and was approved for employment. When I requested the company’s address I her response was: We’ve told you about the company, you don’t have to bother yourself if you are not comfortable we can easily terminate employment. Thank you." She never would provide company address and phone number. She wants my address, phone number, and email sent to another email address.

A job was posted on LinkedIn for a Data Entry Specialist position. The original URL is: https://www.linkedin.com/jobs/view/3815534368 however, that page no longer exists. I was then contacted by a "Jeremi Rust" on 1/29/2024 via text who said:

"Dear Candidate,

My name is Jeremi Rust, and I am the Hiring Manager LOOS. Thank You for your interest in our Data Entry Specialist position. We appreciate your time and effort in applying for the position.

We are excited to learn more about you and your qualifications for this role. We believe that you could be a great fit for our team, and we look forward to hearing more about your experience with data entry and data management. Also be aware that it's our procedure to go through background/contact and identity check before interview as it was stated on the job requirements. Before we move forward with the interview process, we would like to confirm your interest in the position and your availability for the interview process.

Best regards,

Jeremi Rust, LOOS"

I then replied the same day via the same text:

"Hello Jeremi,

Thank you for reaching out; I am still interested in the role and available for the interview process and look forward to working with you on any next steps.

Best Regards,

*** *******"

Then today (1/30/2024), I received a text from Micheal (sic) who said:

"Hello, My name is Micheal contacting you in regards to your resume approved for the Customer Service/Data Entry Clerk position. Kindly fill out this form through the link below. https://form.jotform.com/240287104565556 Once you complete the filling of the form, You are required to contact the HR on Microsoft Teams. Download the app from your Google play/App Store. Add the HR manager using his Email Address ([email protected]) and send a message to him for the interview process. Your interview code is AB20."

The link takes me to an Identity Verification Form that says "This form is used to verify the identification of an individual while issuing important documents." There are 11 pages total. They are:

First page asks for Full Name.

Second page asks for Permanent Address.

Third page asks for Current Address.

Fourth page asks for Phone Number.

Fifth page asks for Email.

Sixth page asks for Work Authorization.

Seventh page asks for Earliest Available date to start.

Eighth page asks for Identification proof provided/Type of ID.

Ninth page asks for ID Card Upload Front and Back of ID.

Tenth page asks for Type a question.

Eleventh page asks for SSN.

It was then I realized this was a scam, so I wrote back to Micheal (sic) with the text:

"Hello Micheal,

First of all, I'm sure your name is supposed to Michael, and I won't be proceeding with this process since it's asking for my SSN. As such, I'll be reporting this company to the ScamPulse.com and will blocks this number."

Thank you everyone at ScamPulse.com for tracking these fraudsters, and I hope you all have a great day!

The individual that called me conducted an interview and asked me some questions. Shortly after the questions he asked me for my middle name because he already has my resume with all my information. Then he asked me for the last 4 of my social security. At this time I hung up the phone. I have had a few interviews and no one has ever asked me for any part of my social security. The thing that bothers me is that this seemed like a legit site and job.

She conned me when she met me at my previous workplace, hotel, promising to double my money. I have all the emails/texts and

documents.

The following is similar information:

Carmen ******** ****** is a person of interest who allegedly operates multiple

business projects in the Chicago area, Florida and Puerto Rico (as her primary locations). It is purported that ****** often appears as

a wealthy entrepreneur/investor, with supposed interests in major condominium development projects in Florida. It is further

purported that ****** has other business holdings in the United States and Puerto Rico, which include gold bonds. She claims to

represent the Taino Consortium Corporation, an investment firm in Hialeah, Florida. Among her alleged victims is an Illinois man,

Peter Nichols, who claims that ****** duped him out of $6,500.00. “She [******] has promised some of her investors various returns

that eventually proved to be impossible,” said Nichols. “She has made promises of huge guaranteed investment returns along with

promises of cash grants of $100,000 in a Shark-Tank fashioned presentation to obviously lure victims/investors.” Nichols also stated

that he regretfully cultivated an investor for ****** from the Niles, Illinois, area prior to realizing that ****** was an alleged con artist.

American News Post is seeking any and all information on Carmen ******** ****** and Taino Consortium Corporation.
