They are attacking these jobs sites such as indeed zip recruiter snaga job just to name a few . They are opposing as these companies employee's and the company brand itself. But this individuals claim to have his name as Christopher Wang . I have a search tool software where I can find identity to see if this person is real or fake . So I go in to microsoft teams and see a picture of a white guy as his picture profile hmmm red flag already . The other red flag was the guy who texted me his name was Daniel Gate and he was like stuck on repeat with his messages and even asked me for my Teams I.D. to log into teams microsoft. I indicated in a million years I have never done that I said the company provides us with a link and code to login I don't give and company my I.D. for that matter just a bunch of scammers trying to pick pocket your earnings and they go to higher levels to try and get it . Here are some helpful tips ask questions all the time . Do your home work look them up find the company find the employee base employers . I always go to contacts on the website and send them the info that was sent to me to also verify if it is legit because no bank numbers or social security numbers are being released from me . THere are steps you go when getting hired and text message isn't one of them. If it does not feel professional block and report them right away do not be quick to jump to a job while doing this online sit back and analyze it...

I got an email from Maria Alejandra Ocando who is from Tencent Holdings. They received my resume from indeed and wanted to conduct in on-line interview via skype, microsoft, or whatsapp. The person, Mr Christopher Wang, is going to interview me.

I almost got pull into a scam.. it sound real good untill a man name Matthew Bradley said they were going to send me a check to depost into my bank to pay for all my equipments.. laptop and scanner would be sne to my address..

One thing i wish i did Not do, give out my address and phone number..
Everyone be safe on-line. we all trying to get a good job while scammers are trying to scam us all.

This is not the first message I've received. These Scammers use emails, text messages and calls you wit names they find on LinkedIn and claims that's their real name. They use Legit companies and say they're from there. These calls are from people with heavy Indian accents and a bunch of loud noises in the background such as dogs barking and loud talking. The names they claim are usually American names such as John Robinson, David Anderson, Michael Roberts and in this case... Jessica Williams. Someone needs to track this company and shut them down. Don't know how many people have been screwed and loss money from them.
Scammers Use Existing Companies and Names

If anyone gets a job offer email from Tencent Holdings ltd … it's a scam! Do not do it! Tencent Holdings are a scam! They said training would be at 8am & my pay would be 19$ for training, then I would be getting $35/hr after training! The whole [censored] is a [censored]in scam! Look out for these email job offers! Do your research first before you give out any information!

They almost got me untill they said they will send me a check to get my laptop and scanner

They just tried it with me until I said scams are done like that. [censored]es think that sending me a check to purchase my own wfh equipment is smart😂 When I said that, the Heffa stop messaging. I truly wish them trifling suckas could get caught.

Ask me to do interview through Skype, and when I questioned the pay rate and benefits, stating it sounded to good to be true, and ask if they were legit, they stopped corresponding with me.

Made Job offer, sent package, told to open bank account, asked for credit card

So many job scams out there… it’s a sham. Anytime I receive a text message such as the one I attached, I research whether it’s a scam. It takes practically ZERO minutes to confirm if it is, and it is always a scam. If it seems too good to be true, it definitely is.

I also just got a text message from this company but it seemed to have more details in it, and I just applied to a few jobs on Careerbuilder yesterday.

Im trying to figure out if this is a scam or a legitimate offer.

Can someone tell me what to do and whether I should reply yes to it?
Got text message about immediate opening

+1

IT IS A SCAM THEY ARE USING THAT COMPANIES NAME TO TRICK PEOPLE . BLOCK THEM AND REPORT THEM

I went through all the steps as previous posters, but took one step ,but took one step further.
So this was the reply after I received the check ( I did not deposit)- this is what they want you to do on the mobile app. then send them confirmation

so I called the bank ( Chase) and they stated the check is not good and want the name and number of the company that you are with so they can verify and confirm Please advise

Nicole, 2:20 PM
What do you mean?

Who sent you to call the bank

Why are you not following instructions?

2:21 PM
I mean that I will decline at this time. They have asked for a copy of the check.

I am sending them a copy now

no reply after this.

I received a similar message as above today. They didn't ask for any info too personal beyond name, address, phone number but I'm still unsure about this, they offered me a job doing data entry paying $35/hr today and want me to start immediately. Once the conversation on Skype messages came to an end they told me to be on at 8am my local time for more instructions. I'm very Leary because they sent an offer letter in an email which looks very self-generated to me. Judging from the other messages here this must be a scam?

I had the same experience last night and today. I even said during the interview that "anything that seems two good to be true usually is". Of course the guy had an answer for every objection. I thought it was a scam after about three minutes with the screener, but was interested to see where it would go. Once he got around to the talk about the check and me buying the equipment, I knew it was a scam. Very persistent and demanding.

Mr., 2:31 PM
Good Afternoon

Mr., 2:31 PM
I am the hiring manager of Tencent Holding Ltd.

David, 2:34 PM
Mr Chen how can I help you?

Mr., 2:35 PM
I am the hiring manager and you are at the right place for the interview.. As we proceed with this interview, you will get to understand everything concerning the job and the company itself in full details.. OK ?

David, 2:35 PM
I'm ready

Mr., 2:36 PM
It's a pleasure to have you here for the interview
The positions we have available are Data Entry, System Admin, Supply Chain, Senior Administration Manager, Project manager or IT support, which one of these would you prefer?

David, 2:37 PM
System Admin, the title seems to align with my experience

Mr., 2:37 PM
The role may include some mundane tasks, but each one is essential for the continued running of IT operations, to prevent problems and to improve systems’ performance. The system administrator is there to keep the company’s network safe and running efficiently.

System administrators here in Tencent typically install, upgrade and monitor software and hardware. They may also be involved in data backup and recovery. They usually maintain the essentials such as operating systems, business applications, security tools, web-servers, email, PCs, local and wide area networking both hardware and software and mid-range server hardware.

They are usually the first point-of-contact for users when they experience problems with the network. The system administrator will then gather information to define and fix the issue, by trouble shooting hardware and software and liaising with vendors if needed for more information.

Adequate training is provided as well, I believe you will be able to go through all of these if proper training is given ?.

David, 2:40 PM

🤣😂🤣😂 I LOVE IT

Contacted from text, resulting from my job search, that Tencent wanted to interview me. They offered Whatsapp or Sykpe.
But never got a face to face interview, as the interview texts were very impersonal, had spelling and grammar errors, and seemed almost automated.
I was told I was hired 20 minutes in to the interview texts. The supposed company rep on Whatsapp texted that they will deposit startup funds via check, and that they will guide me on depositing my check.
Of course all this is all appears sketchy, and is all a scam.
They will just gain access to the scammed persons bank account, end result.
Do not give them your bank account information. If you happen to, and are reading this after the facts, contact your bank as soon as possible and keep any and all records to report as much information as possible, if needed.

For those of you searching for employment, good luck with your job search!

(REALLY) The pay was ($55/hr) and this is an online work from home, the interview will be conducted electronically via WhatsApp or Skype, which of the apps do you have available on your phone? They were were very abrupt with their request (mind you it's 10pm est at night) RED FLAG. They wanted to interview me on the spot. I wasn't doing it and they demanded that I contact the HR Manager at 7am est the next morning a Mr Jan Bull at +1-901-245-1231.

I use a Google Phone number for my resumes and this scam is why. They knew my name (which is better than most scams). Here is the rest of the voicemail: This is Mr Russell Joane from (Tencent Holdings Ltd). Your résumé has been reviewed on (Career Builder) and you have been selected for an interview on a position ($55/hr).
The interview will be conducted electronically and during this interview, you will get to understand everything concerning the job and the company itself in full details. Do you have WhatsApp or signal app on your phone?

I was contacted by text by someone claiming to be Mrs. Charleen D. Macaluso. Head of Admin. She offered me a work from home job for 37.09. I called to talk to her and got a text mail message. I was scammed last June so I've learned that no legitimate company does interviews through text.
