Type of a scam Employment
I had concerns about the pay dates with this two-week temp position, and I sent an email requesting the pay dates. At the time I was in the process of onboarding at a Permanente position so I missed the date for their alledge onboarding in time for the background check.
Although late, and because I had already completed a background check for another position, I requested if I could be allowed to be considered for the position. The hiring manager at Riverstreamsz sent an email with a link for the onboarding process which requested PII including SSN and bank account information.
Before submitting that level of information just to be considered for a position, I did a more extensive due diligence research and sent the following to Rachel Judson at Riverstreamz:
Hi Rachel,
Thank you for the response. Because this is an online onboarding process, I am obligated to perform a bit more due diligence before submitting the type of personal information as you will also perform with your applicants. Therefore, I have a few concerns before I continue.
First, Dun and Bradstreet list your official business location as 1002 7TH St Hermosa Beach, CA, and the amount of time in the business is listed as since 2017. The website URL is the same as indicated in your email signature line, but your website states that you have been "Leading technology resource for the Los Angeles area for [20 years]".
I understand that 20 years may be the total amount of time that the founder has been doing business and may have incorporated that number into the current documentation. The concern I have is that your main address is listed as stated above from more than one source including Buzzfile.com, Federalpay.org, manta.com, and the SBA website which indicates that Riverstreamz received approximately $320,000 from two rounds of PPP assistance.
Congratulations on receiving the loan, your company was listed in Easy Reader and Pinnensula as a recipient under an article also referring to some calculation errors with the payments that may or may not have affected your company. I am not the PPP police, but my concern is that your loan list on Zoominfo.com as needing to support payroll for 79 employees and listed as 162 employees on FederalPay.org while concurrently your employee size officially listed as 4 employees across the board on every site with an average maximum of around 6.
Of course, since you are primarily a technical staffing company, I can reasonably presume that the PPP funds were to cover the contract staff if the companies under contract during the pandemic canceled, but it is not entirely clear for anyone doing a quick baseline investigation. You might want to take a closer look at that.
Overall, I am not sure of your official company address or phone number because it list differently on your website than in your official filings. And there is nothing on your website or other documentation that mentions the owner's name Rich Sootkoos. Ron Scott, Michael Eludo, Rich Sootkoos, and Deus Coriga are listed with Rocket Research and you are only listed once on Zoominfo. Has there been a new company restructure or buyout or something which better explains these slight disparities?
Thank you for your time.

Needless to say that she did not answer my questions nor has anyone from that company contacted me. Therefore my warning is for no one to give this company or any other like this one asking for PII just for consideration for a position.
