Scam message about job.
By: Jun 12, 2018This morning I received a message from a person who said to be called Frank mcqueen, manager of ADP PAYROLL the number of who receives the text was 213 295 4249.
Show more...
He told me I just follow your resume on the CARE.COM site. He said he was looking for a personal assistant who can keep his business alive while he was out of town for an ear surgery, and that he needs someone who can trust him and be honest with errands and paper work that needs to be done.
I ask him when we can meet in person to discuss more about the job, he said he was out of town for an ear surgery. I said ok who can interview me while you are out town, he said no interview was need it since the job can be done from home and just needed to follow instructions. That scare me!!. Iam sorry I told him for my safety I don't do business over the phone, and finish the conversation.
So I search for information about this person and find out on this web site that the same has been happened to other people, so thats why I am writing this report so you can be aware of.
I Ask care.Com why o how this scamers are getting others people personal information, like phone numbers, or emails you should be more careful with our privacy.
I would said this is not the first time scamers have contacted me, but is the first time Iam reporting it.
Blessings!!

Wants me to cash check to buy materials, won't verify business
By: Jun 11, 2018Richard Fels contacted me under the guise of a job opportunity as his personal assistant. He said he found my resume on Indeed.com and wanted me to apply via a jotform. He hired me right away which tipped me off to a scam. He said part of my job would be cashing checks that he sent, taking part of the money for myself as pay, and using the rest to buy materials for "Foster Homes" that he works with. He mentioned that he was affiliated with ArtClusive, which has been reported as a scam before.
Show more...
Richard Fels mailed me a check for approximately $3,500 but I wouldn't cash it until he verified his business and gave me the contact information to these foster homes. I asked him to prove that this was a legitimate job opportunity, which he failed to do. He continuously said I would get all the information after I purchased the materials. When I demanded the verification of his business and the foster homes he stopped answering. I then told him I would report our interactions as suspicious activity to the authorities and he hasn't contacted me since. I believe the check he sent me is fraudulent, and any materials I would send to the various foster homes he claimed to support would be resold by him for a profit.-

Asking me for my full name and other personal info
By: Jun 01, 2018I applied to my care.com to find a job. But then i noticed Pastor Eric Robinson he called himself, started telling me that I would be handling the housing agent payment and Bank Draft will be mailed to me through post office and i can deposit, take my first-week payment and help him send the housing agent payment.

Indeed job scams
By: May 26, 2018I was emailed from indeed mentioning a position I applied for. It stated that I was being considered for a administrative assistant position, they wanted me to send my information for a background check. When someone contacts you from indeed it comes to your email and it sends you the messages through their messenger feature. So when I seen the email, I went back to the app to see if I did apply for that job. I’ve been applying for some many jobs that I had to look back in my jobs to see the different things I applied for. Sure enough that position was something I applied for on there, so I sent the information. She gets back to me to say I was chosen for the position welcome on board. Then she starts in with how she’s starting her own engineering company and she needs clerical help to get things in order. That’s when my brow raised a bit, the job I applied for said administrative assistant for the residence inn. So then she starts in with what I’ll be doing for her, and she’s going to send me a check to pay for the things she needs me to do. She works with some orphanage and she needs me to send them money. Mind you all this communication is through text because she stated we will contact through email or text. Now she’s sent a check to me for 2300 to conduct her business but the check came from a different person and location. I open the check and yet another persons name is on the check as the remitter. So by now flags are up, and now I’m on google searching. Scams all over the place on indeed and I had no idea. I thought their site was legit for employment because I’ve gotten two jobs off there in the past. That sucks that they would scam people that are out here looking for work..legal work. When I question the person like who the hell are all these peoples names, she’s claims those are her partners. Bullshit lady...You want me to deposit this check in my account wait until it clears and then take 200 for myself and then take the other 2100 and make a cash deposit to your so called orphanage. Nope I’ve read that people actually put these checks in their accounts to find out there fraudulent. Nope. She’s being reported as I type, and she’s still in my phone texting me have I deposited the check. She keeps asking too. I’ll play along and tell her yes, while I’m reporting this check to US bank.

Offering job position for remote HR specialist
By: May 07, 2018I received a email stating that I was a candidate for a job with Indeed.com. I have previously worked from home so I thought it was real. It ask me to respond through email stating that I wanted the position by an acceptance letter and they would send over a packet to fill out with all my personal information and banking information. I did send over the acceptance letter. I felt that something was not right due to the fact that it was a gmail account and also no number or address. I later google the information and found to be a scam. I did not send them any more personal info ie banking account info

I applied for an Admin position with Pitech Incorporation on Ziprecuiter and Ashley Baker responded. She asked to have a text interview over google hangouts and told me I would be paid $30 per hour. The new location was still under construction but would be opening within a week or so locally. The pretraining was optional however it became very convenient for her to constantly have a board meeting to discuss something every time my online training was to start. After reading some of the info on this page it validated my initial feelings and I have ended conversations with her. She did mention that the I would be contacted via email as soon as the funds to purchase my custom built working materials have been made available by the account manager within the next 2-3 biz days. No thanks!!

I received a response from a resume hit on Zip recruiter. They claim to be from the global reputable company Rockwell automation. I've looked up the company it is legit. But now I will call them and ask if this recruiter is actually part of their company. It looks like a problem could be ensuing. HR actually has to get your bank information in order to deposit checks into your account from payroll, but trolls are being very tricky looking for people looking to get hired into real positions.

Gregory Scott was contacted by Samantha Tracey of Rockwell Automation Inc. regarding a remote position paying $25/hour. I was told I'd be trained by Michael Pearson and that he would be forwarding a check for $3,998 to cover expenses associated with procuring materials directly from the vendor. I was instructed to deposit the check, and after $1,000 was immediately released, I was then instructed to send a Walmart Moneygram to him in the amount of $970 to obtain partial materials from their vendor. Needless to say, my account is now over drafted and the check was returned for insufficient funds.

I just got hit from "Dante Cantel" asked me to repair a large number of computers for him in response to my repair service advertisement. I am a criminal defense paralegal quite savvy to these schemes. I plan on playing along with him in order to get physical evidence (the bogus checks and the emails to corroborate his intent). Hopefully, it is the same guy using the name, but I doubt it. I will follow up as this progresses.

Seriously people, what legitimate, respectable company makes you pay before you start working there? NONE. What legitimate, respectable company asks for bank info and other seriously personal information regarding your identification? NONE. Furthermore, what legitimate, respectable company only uses online messengers or apps to communicate and hold "interviews"? NONE. And why would you ever cash a check from someone you don't know in order to pay for supplies for a company or send that money to them and/or other people?! Seriously you people are so gullible, desperate or just naturally stupid, you shouldn't have access to the Internet. Start using some common sense, although I'm beginning to realize it's not so common these days. Natural selection at its finest here. Sorry, not sorry.

Total Scam! They send a check with your name on it but the check is registered to someone else. When you deposit it, the issuing bank is notified of the fraud and you are blamed. Not sure how they get money from you as I wasn't dumb enough to deposit such a huge check in my account from people who never even wanted to have a conversation or conduct a proper interview. The bank they used wouldn't even give me details the company the check was from, the branch it was issued by...they wouldn't even give me the check back! The indicates MAJOR FRAUD that the bank doesn't want getting out to the general public. AVOID: Dan Tanner, Lisa Kiyomi, Sharon James, Stonecrest Capital, Fellex Medcare Equipments Ltd, www.fellexmed.com and www.stonecrestcapitalinc.com.

I actually did an online interview but when they asked some of the questions. I gave them my name and address and phone number but these are things I had on monster. They said i was hired after the "interview" but when they were telling me they were going to send me a check to start me up and i was to buy the equipment with the money I got a little suspicious and started asking questions. How do I know this is a legit business as the webisite was bare-bones? and he started quoting bible scriptures and telling me to trust in god because he's giving me an opportunity to help my family... So I basically figured it was a waste of my 45 mins. So... I wasn't going to deposit anything they sent... BUt he blocked me on "hangout" because that's wehre he asked me to talk to him. It sucks that they take advantage of people that are looking for jobs.... simply dispicable.
