Pay for Vendor/Can We Use Your Location for an Event Scam

Below is the message we received at my job.
"My name is Armando Ortega-Barrios, I am having my party in June, and I want it to be held at your venue on the 21st of June with 21 guests invited. I'm flexible with the date. Before we proceed with our request, please answer the following question below;

1. Do you accept credit cards ?

2. Can you work with our official band performing for the event regarding payment to them ?

Await your quick response.

Regards
Armando Ortega-Barrios

--It should be noted that our job is not a great place for a venue, certainly not for 21 people.
--And he was 'flexible with the date'? 21 people can be coordinated and rearranged at the drop of a hat?--weird.
--what a weird second question, about paying their 'official' band(what does that mean?) directly? Weirdos.
Scam vibes, ignored. Found this site with Armando's name listed a few times. Do not trust.

Got the same one today! It's a scam. I received another one from a "Robinson Hanks" with the same request. I am kinda having fun leading them on and wasting their time.

Scam but fun to lead them on

This isn't the first, second or even third time I've been contacted by one of these scammers, always from a different company. It's gotten to where I will lead them on via emails only just for kicks.

I had one actually get irate with me when I asked to see some ID. She (I guess it was a she) sent me a photo of supposedly her employee badge. What was funny was when I had looked this person up while waiting for proof, I found a photo on the company's website. When the person sent me the photo it was of the exact same photo from the website. I'm sorry but a corporation is not going to use the photo you took for your employee badge for their website, especially if you are the head of a department like the real one is. So, upon receiving the photo I asked for "her" to take a picture of both the employee badge and her state issued ID. That's when she started cussing me out and swearing that this was a real job. I would reply that if it is a real job as you claim, what's the problem with sending me a picture of both IDs? Im still waiting on a reply 6 months later ?

Remote Position Scam

My daughter applied for a digital marketing position in which the interview was conducted via email and she then almost immediately was offered the job.

She contacted us and something did not sound right. It seemed too good to be true, so we investigated online and found the ScamPulse reviews. They confirmed our suspicions.

She sent us screenshots of everything.

Scam Employment

Same experience as others listed here. I applyed for the job via a job site and was emailed the very next day by a man named William Eavenson. Interesting though, his google gmail name showed up as Jorge McRoberts.

I was instructed that an interview would be carried out "via Email" (I had no idea what that quite meant" in literally 20 minutes since the email was sent to my inbox. It instructed me to email a man named Armando Ortega-Barrios (who's email address was odd) to start the interview.

I emailed Armando and asked about interview availability. He sent me a VERY LONG email back with lots of odd sayings and not a good explanation of what the company did or what I would actually be doing. He also included a google doc that had multiple pages of questions. He said in the email I had only "90 minutes since receiving the email to respond back with all my answers" (again, very odd to me)

Additionally, the pages of questions were irrelevant and info that should only be sent on a secure site, not typed into a google doc if given to a "company"

Same experience as the others. I was suspicious about the offer letter so I never signed it. I asked for a contact number and never received a response. See names listed below that was included in emails:
Armando Ortega-Barrios
William Eavenson
Patti Airoldi (This is a woman not man)

FRAUD

As others have said, this is a SCAM. I received an email from Patti Airoldi to schedule an online interview with a Mike Robert through Skype (live:.cid.1adf7b31f4a55b6b). After an interview through skype chat, they instruct you to deposit a check through email and wire the money out to their "vendors" the very next day for software and equipment. Once I told them that this process is not safe, they stopped responding. Please do not deposit the check. It takes 10 days for the check to process even if you can use the money the next day. By the time you use it and spend it on their "vendors", your money is gone and the check is void then you will be responsible to pay off the money taken from your account. Please be careful.

Report RPMGlobal / imposter

Approximately April 22nd 2022, I applied for an online remote personal assistant position. I submitted my resume and completed the assessment required for the position. Within 3 days I was emailed for the opportunity to interview. I was advised to add a Mike Robert on Skype using a link (live:.cid.1adf7b31f4a55b6b). The email reads as follows:

I then went to Skype began the interview process and was assured that everything would be remote, online and very much so at my convenience because of the virtual aspect. The first day of conversing with Mike went into the afternoon almost until 7pm and then ended without notice. The following day we began and the interview questions rolled in, mind you this is all without seeing one another but messaging back and forth. Discussions of what was to be expected as an employee, the vague work that the company is known for without any true explanation of what the company does and how soon I could work would transpire. We also discussed the downloading of materials needed and funding that would be coming in as a result. The things that were very weird to me include the following:

- Asking the same questions I answered above within seconds of me sending them.
- Never utilizing the verification code given at the end of the email.
- Hours of sitting online with no reply.
- Never seeing Mike's face on a video messaging forum.
- Looking up the address to verify the corporation.
- Asking me to send a screenshot of the verification of the check once submitted (you can't do that in any banking app for a REASON).
- The check coming from them before my offer letter and forms.
- The offer letter coming the day AFTER it was said to be in my inbox.
- The "Official" water marks on the document: they look copy and pasted OVER one another and not THROUGH (if you work with official documentation you understand the context).
- Calling me JACK PHRAM instead of my name (my name is nowhere NEAR that)
- Looking up Mr. Patti Airoldi only to find out SHE is a WOMAN/ HR manager at RPM GROUP not GLOBAL out of ARKANSAS not COLORADO.
- RPM Global being a mining company located out of Australia with the only global location for Colorado being Denver 7887 East Belleview Avenue, Suite 1100, Denver, Colorado 80111, USA (Phone: +1 303 986 695)
- My mother's investigation on BBB and seeing the complaint of this corporation the same day I applied for the position.
- THE COMPLAINT DIRECTLY PRECEEDING THIS COMPLAINT.

I was willing to take the risk because I knew I would never be able to pay for anything without being compensated first. It was while waiting the 3rd and doing more digging that I recognized the name on the check sent I could not make out because it was not printed underneath, the addresses were not adding up and the replies from Mike Robert were becoming slower and slower upon my questioning.

Victim Location 59739
Type of a scam Employment

I applied to a job online for a virtual assistant. I was contacted by email saying they would like an interview over skype after completing interview questionnaire, I was sent a hire letter via email. They then sent a check to me and then requested i direct deposit the check and Zelle transfer the money to them in order to order office supplies needed for my position. after I was unable to transfer the entire amount they tried to get me to buy visa cards to transfer the remaining amount I called my bank and turn out the check will bounce in a couple days and if the transfer would have been successful I would have owed the bank $1700. RPMGlobal is a real company but the individual i was communicating with was not associated with the company
