I had gone to work for this company on September 3rd and I worked for them until October 15. I worked for them 14 hour days sometimes 15 hours for that length of time some weeks I would work 6 days a week. Jackie Baker has not paid me. Jackie will not and has not contacted me to keep me updated about my funds that he owed me for labor performed. Since my last conversation with him 3 weeks ago, Jackie has said that he has not received any payments from any of his jobs and after I hung up the phone with him, he blocked me from all means of communication so I cannot inquire about my money that he owes me. Jackie continues to go on with no contact with me and I can still not inquire the money the company owes me. This is a scam for money owed and services rendered. The date is now December 10,2023 and I still have not received payment for work that was performed from September 3,2023 to October 15, 2023.

I applied for a job on LinkedIn.com with St. Charles Healthcare for a General Surgery Scheduler position. I received a confirmation text to set up an interview from the phone number +1(412) 932-5632. The interview was to be conducted through Skype. I was offered a position and received the Offer Letter from this email: [email protected]. I was told to email a copy of my Drivers License to that same email. I was then told that I would receive instructions on how to receive payment to purchase my workstation equipment. The instructions were emailed from: [email protected]. I made the deposit and sent the confirmation to the email as instructed. After depositing the check, my bank advised that the funds would be deposited on 12/8/23. Today, 12/6/23, I received an email from: [email protected] stating that my bank account has been restricted due to recent activity. There was a number provided to call with any questions. I called and reached a voicemail box set up as CapitalOne and was instructed to provide my name, phone number, and account number. I checked my banking app and noticed that the check that I was given to deposit was reversed. I called the CapitalOne phone number from my banking app to report the suspicion. I provided them with all of the information I had. Unfortunately I was told that my bank account would be closed and that I would not be able to open another account in the future due to the situation posing a risk to the bank.

Scammer stated IP address security was compromised and the Hulu account would not unlock unless the issues were cleared up by the security team. The security team would cost $250 for their work. Payment was required by a GooglePlay gift card from one of the big box stores (Walmart, Target, etc.). Scammer wanted a photo of the card with number information sent via text message to number (530)296-0770.

I applied for this remote position through LinkedIn on 8-10-23. I received an email from someone posing as the owner on 8-12-23 asking for a cover letter and my salary requirements. I provided these details On 8-15-23 I received an email stating that they had filled the position I applied for however, they still wanted me for a position opening in October of 2023. In the meantime, they offered me an Executive Virtual Assistant job because as the owner they were busy and about to leave for a trip to Canada within the week. I expressed my interest and waited for the scheduled interview. I received the next email on 8-17-23 saying that they had no time for an interview at this time due to the trip they had previously mentioned when offering the EVA role. Along with this email they provided a list of canned interview questions. The scammer also mentioned that an employment agreement was being drafted which is what prompted me to call the actual business. While the email correspondence was going on I verified the email address ([email protected]) the scammer used which did not directly match the website domain the actual owner has set up for their business. The email address was also hosted by another company from the actual business website. I also reviewed the phone number (630-492-0751) the scammer used and found it to be a VOIP number based out of Chicago, the actual business is outside of San Antonio, TX.

8-17-23: After calling the actual business number on their site I was sent to voicemail and that had a message stating that the job offer was a scam.

I was contacted about the job through email. [email protected] gave me an initial technical evaluation. After passing the evaluation, I was told to wait for my results. Two days later, I had passed and they wanted to move forward with the position. [email protected] then sent over the offer letter and asked to sign and attach front and back of drivers license. I complied and was then told we would have a meeting at 3pm that day after signing to discuss logistics. At the meeting which was on google chat, the person named jessie had no profile picture and only sent messages. It started to feel weird from there. They then reiterated the same thing multiple times as if I was talking to an AI. They said they would be sending me a check for a workstation and that is when I dipped. I then proceeded to block and report that account to google and the respective emails to microsoft outlook. I tried contacting the company through their website after, they had no phone number listed and they never responded with email. However on their site, down below their careers they had a warning saying they are aware of scam using their name. Any further assistance of information would be amazing, I am unsure what a scammer can do with the information on a drivers license. Thank you for any help.

I was contacted via l email about a remote administrative position job I applied for with World Wide Technology. I accepted the job offer following an interview questionnaire. I received the email from ******* ***** (Talent Acquisition Specialist for World Wide Technology) via the email [email protected]. I was then connected with Ann Marr (HR Manager) via Skype for training. I have been completing training tasks for her for the past week and a half over Skype chat (not video), and I was not paid for my training. I signed an employment contract with this person, submitted my W4, and submitted my direct deposit form. Therefore, this person now has my name, address, date of birth, social security number, contact information, bank account information, etc. Ann informed me that a provisional check was deposited into my account for the procurement of work materials. Following this deposit my bank account was shut down for fraud, and I was advised by the bank that the check was falsified. Furthermore, I called the number on Google for World Wide Technology, and they confirmed that they are aware of the scam and that I am not employed with them.

This person made a connection with me on linkedin.com and impersonated as a Director of Technology working with Qualcomm in San Diego, then invited me to chat privately in WhatsApp.

First we shared our common interest in loving pets and animals, he mentioned that he was a member of a animal protection group. Then he showed his interest in making intimacy relationship and told me about his divorce, praised me as amazing woman and said how lucky he was to meet me.

When I was not ready to make a move and wanted to remain friendship, he continued showing his love and care as if the two were lovers, and invited me to visit his parents when he had a chance, and shared his desire to travel to Europe with me later. Next he talked about Cryptocurrency and how big he has gained which was about hundreds of thousand dollars from each trade on crypto by showing the screenshots of his transactions on the trading platform AscendEX https://ascendexoll.com/h5 where he and his team operate the trades.

Next he showed his plan to buy a 3 million-dollars-house in San Francisco, then went on his investments in different areas such as real estate, and horse farms in Kentucky.

As I was not interested in Crypto, he continued inducing me to this business by creating my wallet and told me to put in 1K using BTC ATM to see how well it gained. Then he persuaded me to invest $20K to get around $4K gains. The results showed high returns and my capital in account increased quickly, then he convinced me to put more money in to $50K then $100K, He even transferred $20K from his account to mine to earn more trust. All of my cash was put into the exchange account, he always assured me not to worry as he took care of it to get more wins for my trades as he is a professional financer and he supports government in finance aspect. However, when I need to withdraw a small amount to pay my monthly mortgage and other bills he became upset and did not let me to withdraw. When I insisted, he let me to withdraw only $5K and advised me to wait for 2 more trades to withdraw all.

On 05/13/2023 and 05/14/2023 he put almost of my capital into trade to leave only $9K in my account, then next day he told me the bad news was the trade on 05/13/2023 was at risk and needed $75K more to cover. Since I have $9K left in my account he told me to put $66K into my trade account, I let him know I had no more money. He became upset and threatened me to leave my account go free and the trade would lose that I would not have any penny left including $20K he lend to me which terrified me. I had to close my CD and used up my last saving to put the total of $17K more into my exchange account. The next day he said the trade was no longer at risk but did not let me to withdraw the last $17K that I have recently put in.

On 05/20/2023 and 05/21/23 when both trades were over, I applied to withdraw part of my money then AEX platform froze my money and required me to pay the deposit of 10% of the amount I wanted to withdraw which is $31K . No matter I have asked to reduce the amount of withdrawal or extend a week they still asked me to pay the deposit amount on the due date, otherwise my funds will be frozen plus the penalty.

Then my financial adviser from a reputable bank checked on this platform to find out ascendexoll.com/h5 is a fake website and obviously I am a victim of this crypto fraud . I was advised not put more money in as I would not get any money back from them instead they will require me to put more money in with different reason. The money I wired to the bank METROPOLITANT COMMERCIA under the name MCB Foris was already withdrew to the scammer's account.

I hope the information I report here prevent further potential victims into this type of Crypto scam, Crypto.com is legit but the trading website in my case is fake. As I have learned from a banker whose client has lost 1.6 million to Crypto scam that any skilled developer can mirror the code to create their own fake trading website. All I have seen as trading activities and high returns actually are fake to lure victims to put more money into their account. Be vigilant!

The ceo of ready4player has put out multiple job listings on sites for employment. And misleads people until getting a few weeks of work from them, where he clarifies it’s not a paid job. He tries to entice people to work for free by saying he’s got celebrities, venture capitalists, and High profile people working for him.

I applied for a data entry position through LinkedIn. Received a follow up job interview form. Told I was hired, sent me an offer letter and an I-9 to be filled out. I filled out the I-9 along with a copy of my passport. Only communicated through email and Skype, using the names of two employees whose company profiles had been compromised, confirmed this with a current employee from the legitimate company. Was sent a check for "office supplies", mobile deposited into my second checking account, then was asked to wire to a "vendor". Received an "invoice" after the wire was completed. Was sent another check for a laptop, I deposited the second check but stopped the wire transfer because I realized it was a scam.

Wanted to alert you to a very shady seeming ghostwriting outfit called Hydra Productions Online LLC. It is based in Plano, Texas, and apparently owned by a couple named Eric and Raven Heidrich. They are hiring writers to ghostwrite romance fiction in 10,000 to 20,000 word blocks, at a rate of $0.003 to $0.01, or perhaps $0.02 per word. I was very dubious because I figured that at best, I could perhaps make $20 an hour at that rate, but I thought I might take 1 project and see how it goes. I was put in their Facebook IM chat, and I messaged a few other writers I saw on there to ask if they were able to make this arrangement, and if so, how so. Someone told them I was doing this, and Hydra fired me within minutes. This seems like more than a red flag.

I applied for a job on LinkedIn, for a work-at-home customer service position. I received a message back from the person who posted the job advising me to contact "[email protected]" to proceed. As that seemed suspicious, I googled trustemd and found that another person posted on scam tracker that this was a scam. I did not proceed with contacting anyone else regarding the supposed job, and wanted to warn others also. This is the person who posted the "job" https://www.linkedin.com/in/susan-sherman-5624a225b/
