Type of a scam Employment
This was supposed to be a fully remote data entry job for an overseas company named NN Group. Which, if you look it up, is very much real and reputable. Glassdoor shows great reviews from current and former employees and I even looked on scamfinder.com and it said that they were not a scam. So against my “this is too good to be true” feeling I had, I went ahead and signed the offer letter that was sent to me indicating that I would make $35 per hour. The letter itself looks very real to me as well, in comparison to other offer letters, I’ve received in the past, I was just begin training today and when I started the day I was told to keep my eyes on a tracking number for a FedEx package that was coming to me today that would hold the funds to get my computer and other working materials as they called it. Once I received it, I was to let them know and then they gave me official instructions on what I was to do with it. They instructed me to deposit it into my account and send them a receipt of the deposit. So with that being said, I asked if it could be a mobile deposit, they said “fine” and that was when I was like. Wait what? Because they’re not acting very professional just saying fine. I took a couple hours, did some research and decided to take it up to the bank and see what they say about it. My teller calls the issuing bank, provides the account number on the check, and it was not an active account.
I was really confused because if this is a scam where do they benefit?
Like if they’re sending me the money and I’m ordering the materials, where do they benefit? And my teller told me that they would probably give me instructions to order all materials from a “special store” that would end up being basically me just handing him the money and never receiving any products so in doing so, they were going to have me send them the money that I did have and I would be left with the -$5000 in my account. And if not, they played the long game they were hoping, just steal my identity. So I decided to text them back on zoom and I said that my bank suspected them as fraud and that they kept the check due to that fact they said that this was untrue and that I will get my supplies and I’ll get everything I need. And they’re so sorry for the stress that this caused and I said but you’re not understanding I no longer have the check, they said it’s fraudulent and they said which bank did you go to at which point I realized it didn’t matter which bank I went to it matters that the account number linked to that check that they gave me was closed. I could go to any bank anywhere and find that out , it didn’t matter if I took it to another bank. I knew that they were going to tell me that I was supposed to go to some thing else so that they can issue me another check and have me try to fall for it all over again once I said, which bank was I supposed to use you never specified it should not matter, they deleted me on Zoom, and I was no longer able to correspond with them. I believe the company NNgroup is actually a good company. They are real. It’s just these people were pretending to be them.
I see the lady on here before me had said that they sent her more than one check and I think that that’s what they were going to do with me had I been more cooperative and not questioned every single thing they said to me. This entire experience, I had a weird feeling, and this sick pulling feeling in my stomach, and now I know why.
Cautionary tale, please save yourself and don’t do any interviews on zoom unless it’s video. There are some disgusting people out here and if you are job hunting and ever receive an email from somebody with the email, [email protected] or [email protected] (sometimes contains numbers at the end) report it as spam immediately.
