  Exchanged several emails before realizing this was a scam. They did not get any person info other than my address and resume. When an ad seems too got to be true - remember it always is.

  Elijah keeps calling. States he works for a global company and they are conducting interviews for work at home positions that are in high demand. Stated I would need to log onto website: [email protected] and enter password “prosper” 2 minutes before scheduled interview and wait. When asked what kind of work the company does he stated” we represent a global company and they will discuss that in the interview”. When I asked why he couldn’t tell me now he stated” we are a very busy company and that is what the interview is for”.

• Using Legit Company Aerotek to Scam People

  On February 12th, I responded to a work from home job postings in a private group on Facebook. I asked the lady that posted it, "Jayden Brianna" several questions about it. After she relayed the requirements and the duties/details of the job, I was asked if I had Google Hangouts. I answered in the negative, and was then asked to download it and send the corresponding email that goes with it to her. At that point, I was put into communication with "Franklin Matthew", who claimed he was a recruiter for Aerotek- a VERY LEGIT COMPANY- and began my "interview" and subsequent "hiring". I was told that I would receive all these emails with my offer letter, employment packet, among other things, by the end of that day. I had looked up the company website and reviews on Glassdoor, during the interview, so I did give him some information that in hindsight, I probably shouldn't have. He wanted to start the next phase of the employment process, and this is when he first brings up a Steam wallet card and $50 that I needed to put on it. I wasn't comfortable with it, so I stalled using the fact that I had to go to work at my current job, so I said goodbye, and confirmed that I would speak with him the following day. Next day comes along with the First red flag when I asked what happened to the emails I was supposed to receive. He tells me "let me check". About 30 minutes later, he messaged me back, said he spoke with HR, and I should receive it any moment, which I did. We talk some more, during which point he tells me that to receive my computer, cellphone, copier, printer, and scanner, and to activate my "G1 timetracker", I would HAVE to buy this Steam wallet card- Second red flag. I put him off by saying that I wanted to look over the contract I had recieved, and talk this over with my husband. When my husband brought home the print out of the "contract" I got the 3rd red flag- the date was for a week PRIOR to the initial start of the whole ordeal. He was also becoming more insistent about the card, and about the time to talk the following days. On February 14th, he attempted to get in touch with me around 5 AM. It was my birthday, so I actually turned my phone off to avoid this man. The next day my husband bought the card, and afterward discovered it's being used to scam people. At this point, I tell both "Franklin Matthew" and "Jayden Brianna" that I have a strong reason to believe that they're running a scam and that I've reported it to the proper authorities.

• Office Assistant Scam

  I received an email from a man named David Moore who was offering me a job position as an office assistant. This is what the email said;
  We've received your response. I'm looking for someone that can be trusted and reliable, someone with good understanding and working skills. I'm David Moore, I served as a facilitator for Intact Financial Associates in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs. I often get my hands occupied, So it is imperative for me to have a worthy assistant who can monitor and keep me up to date with my activities. This is flexible position, working with me is basically about instructions and following them. My only fear is that I may come at you impromptu sometimes, So I need someone who can be able to meet up with my irregular timings. I'm sure you'll understand I tend to have a very busy schedule at this point as I am presently in Ontario, Canada for a summit. I will be back in 3 Weeks time. I think you're the right person for this post, Please note that this position is not office based for now because of my frequent travels and tight schedules. It's a part-time, and the flexibility means that there will be busier weeks than others. So it's a little difficult judging the exact number of hours you'll be doing per week. If you can manage your time properly, this job may even give you some extra while you do something else on the side. As I have said, I'd want us to get a head start with things as soon as possible. I do have a pile up of work and a number of unattended chores which you can immediately assist me with. I hope we can meet up with the workload eventually.
  Permit me to use the coming week to test your efficiency and diligence towards all this, also to work out your time schedule and fit it to mine. I really need to find the perfect person for this job and I am confident you can take up the challenges. On the long run we should have a relatively sound working relationship between us.
  
  Submit application form below.
  
  FIRST NAME..........
  
  LAST NAME..........
  
  ADDRESS........
  
  CITY........... STATE..............
  
  ZIP CODE.............
  
  CELL PHONE NUMBER.............
  
  EMAIL ADDRESS.........
  
  PRESENT OCCUPATION.............
  
  
  Once I have received your application form, I will get back to you with the task for the week ahead. Please understand that you will be paid Six hundred Dollars every week as well as its important for me to make the necessary steps before I get back from my business trip.
  
  
  Best Regards,
  
  After this message he left no phone number, which at first I didn't really pay any mind to.
  
  I then sent him this message in return;
  Good morning, I hope this email finds you well. Thank you for your interest in my resume. I have attached the application form for the office assistant position as requested. The position for office assistant definitely does have me interested, and I am willing to help you with your work load. I have a few questions that I was hoping you can clarify for me, as you sound like a very busy man and I don't want to waste your time. When you say that you might come to me impromptu and at irregular timing, what does that mean? For example, would it be phone calls that I might get at irregular times like 12am? Or do you mean we would have to meet in person at random times such as 12am? I just want to understand what exactly you meant by that. Also, I see that you said this position is not office based, does that mean I would be working in my office at home or did you have something else in mind? I know that you mentioned that it's difficult at this time to really set the hours, but I'm wondering if you can maybe let me know what days of the week I might be working? My last question is about the hours as well. I see that you said I would be paid six hundred dollars every week. I am okay with this. I know that there are no set hours at this time. Would I get compensated either less or more depending on hours? Or is the six hundred a week a flat rate?
  
  I look forward to what you might have to say. You sound like you have your hands full and I'm interested in and look forward to helping you with your work load, as I am very good at following instructions. This is a job that I can do. I just wanted to clarify a few things before proceeding so that I'm not wasting your time, as it sounds it's of the essence for you. I hope we can, as you said, have a relatively sound working relationship between us in the future.
  
  David Moore answered back with this message;
  Yes, you're working remotely and also the $600 is flat rate
  
  To which I then answered;
  Thank you for the clarification. I am definitely up for the assignments. I saw that you mentioned that you had unattended chores. May I ask an example of what a chore might be? Also, would any of the chores be outside of Jersey City? Will a car be needed for the chores or would public transit suffice?
  
  I must say I'm feeling excited about the position and I look forward to completing the tasks that are asked of me to help the business in it's successes. :)
  
  David Moore's answer was;
  Making payment disbursement and mailing some materials which you will purchase and distributing funds to charities and sometimes pay for invoice, all details instruction will be provided to you, kindly let me have the requested information so we can proceed to the next step of the employment
  
  My last message to him was;
  Good morning Mr. Moore,
  If you mean the application form, I sent it to you attached to the first email I sent to you after your original email to me through a word document. I will copy and paste the application for from the word document I created to this email.
  
  So, I followed through with what i said in my last email and sent him my email. I took another look at what my job duties might be in the last email that he sent me and i started to feel a little suspicious. I decided to look up the comapny he works for and see if I could find him on any websites. I found nothing about him or the company. I decided to take another look at his email address to see if I can find anything on the company that his email was connected to, which was yborglogistic.com. When I looked into it, it was a trucking company in New York, which had nothing to do with being a facilitator for Intact Financial Associates in Canada and United State to various welfare and community service programs as he originally stated. With all of these red flags I decided to see if there were similar scams with job offers for office assistants, and not to my surprise, there were. This scam was different from the rest, but in context was pretty much the same. Luckily, I caught on before anything went further, although i do regret giving my personal info to a scammer. I'm just glad i didnt give any financial info such as bank or credit card information etc..
  
  
  Just now, I literally just sent him a message telling him I'm no longer interested in this position and shame on him for trying to scam me.
