Indeed Job Posting Scam
By: Sep 11, 2017Applied for a job posting on Indeed. They contacted me the next morning. Did the "interview" over Hangouts App. They sent a check of $4,850.99 to deposit so I can purchase "work equipment" to work from home. Check returned as counterfeit and bank made me aware that it is a scam. The bank took money out of my account for this issue.

Nuisance employment scam!
By: Sep 08, 2017A couple of weeks ago I was contacted by a "recruiter" via text with an appointment to do an online interview on Hangouts by Google. It was stated that my resume was reviewed by a company on a site I am unfamiliar with. But I proceeded to go along with it. My email information was provided as asked. Online interview conducted as planned. So many red flags went up due to excessive punctuation, improper grammar, incorrect spelling, etc. I continued to go along with the charade. After so-called being hired, employment forms were emailed to me but there was a specific IRS form not received. Confirmation #s were given for USPS &/or FedEx delivery of a monetary check for home office equipment. The first confirmation was delayed. So another one was created. I received it. Everything about this is completely bogus. 'Allison', as well as 'Justin' have been rather pushy & all too eager about the bank transactions that needed to take place. I did some research on the company & the employees which confirmed my suspicions of fraudulent activity. I also had a friend verify this with me. Needless to say, I have not deposited the check or purchased anything. This has been a complete waste of time & headache.

Offered job me a job via job website and sent fake check
By: Sep 06, 2017Was on a job site ziprecruiter and was contacted by a Jonathan saying we are interested in you please contact Ashley Baker at google hangouts. I contacted her thru hangouts and she wanted me to fill out a questionnaire. I sent her my email address and replied to her via email then she wanted it posted on hangouts. The next day offered me a job and said was going to get things started needed my bank name. I questioned her and informed her not comfortable giving out that. She informed me it was just the name of the bank not acct number. Reluctantly I gave her it. Seemed fishy so I googled company and her. Found something similar. Contacted her back informing not to use anything I have given her it's a scam. She said people use the company's name for scams but that wasn't the case. I commented back I'd legit then give me more information. She blocked me. A few days later a check for $4980 came ups and told me to text this number 325-701-2619 to Mark Freeman and text my name. I did not but tried calling and no answer. Have since called the company the check was supposedly from which is Morehouse College. Called the bank suntrust to see if funds are good which it was. Called the company that was on the shipping address was Cooper industries and spoke to a lady saying it is a scam contact ups and do not cash!!! Do not use websites other then the actual website for finding jobs. Asked if I used Eaton website for jobs

Phishing recruiting job scam
By: Sep 04, 2017Got an email from 'Donald Hayes' at [email protected] offering me the position of Recruiting Coordinator for Indeed.com. A subsequent email was from dhayesind[email protected] asking me to fill out an employment application in a MSWord doc then return. Doc has 'Indeed.com' icon on it but looks a bit large and not quite right. Also a company as large as Indeed would have an online application process - as per the Indeed website. "Please note that Indeed does not request personal information, financial information, account numbers, bank account numbers in an unsolicited manner through an email request. If you have any questions, please contact Indeed."

Check Scam
By: Aug 31, 2017The Individual claimed to be a Hiring Manager with Nationwide, used the Nationwide logo and website. Text me stating my resume was reviewed for an at home job paying $21.55 an hour. Instructed me to conduct the interview via Google Hangouts and provided me a link to Nationwide and asked me a series of convincing interview questions. Told me I would be provided with all the equipment needed to get started. Advised me an Accounting software is needed to input the data and the company would send me the funds to have the software downloaded upon receiving the laptop. Requested Name, Address, Telephone Number & email. Then advised me I was selected to start and would be assigned a training supervisor who would reach out to me in person and would provide W2, Salary Agreement, Employee Agreement & Offer Letter. Then the next day they provided me a tracking # for a check they sent via FedEx for me to deposit into my account, then go to a Vendor and give the money to that Vendor for the software download without the laptop being provided.

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.
