Employment Scams

Mr Dublin contacted me regarding a consumer analyst position with his company and offered me the position which was to secretly evaluate their customer service by posing as a potential customer. I was notified that my first assignment was to evaluate a local Money Gram location and payment would be sent via USPS to cover costs and my compensation for completing my first assignment. 1/07/16 a check arrived by USPS tracking#9470101699320020261893, I presented this very authentic looking check for 1680.00 to my bank who preceded to cash it and provide me with the funds to complete the necessary transaction through Money Gram minus my payment. Supposedly Mr Scott [email protected] 6105 Colwell Blvd Irving TX was another analyst that would complete the evaluation by picking up funds sent and evaluating the completion of Money Gram transfer. 01/12/16 my bank advised me that I was overdrawn and the business check from Cable Dahmer of Kansas City 555 W 103rd St Kansas City MO 64114 was returned unpaid. I am in the process of repaying all funds and fees, I tried contacting Mr Dublin but I know there is no hope of recovering any of the money I lost by associating myself with this deceitful company and individual. I just want to make others aware so some unsuspecting person doesn't suffer the same or worser fate than I did.

She had a picture on facebook of stacks of money with a phone number to get rich quick. She offered a sales job where i buy her make up products and sell them. The odd part that i caught her in was customers and distributors could buy for the same price off the website. So if i get paid commission or a percent then there is no need for a start up fee. She won't agree to meet in person to buy the products. She don't even want to meet. This is obviously a scam. Just text her and ask how to make money with her "business". I can't remember her fb name and she is aware IJ'm onto her scam so don't give the website. She blocked me because i know. So please i have been robbed mugged and scammed too much please destroy these people from the planet.

Demetri Ballas claims that he works for a company called Biolase. And however he's a Territory manager from where you have the opportunity to work from home. He will ask you interview questions then he goes over the job description. Then he tells you that he will send equipment To your home so that you can work with. A Apple Mac and printer including software. However this software will cost money. But don't worry the company will provide the funds for you. He would send you a 1,300 check on which he wants you to deposit into your account. But before you can deposit you have to provide him with your driver's license and bank account information. I'm just glad I didn't go that far with him please beware of this man.

I received an email in my inbox in Jan 2016, stating that I had answered a Craigslist ad in Nov 2015. Here is the content ....

As a seasoned personal assistant, here is what I asked:
1. We must meet in person or via Video Chat.
2. He must provide his own checking account and a signature stamp.
3. He must provide the same information he requested of me.

Here is the response I received:
1. He is out of the country and does not have availability to a video chat and he is hard of hearing so cannot speak by phone.
2. He would prefer that I deposit the funds that he will send by cashiers check into my own account and pay the bills.

My response. This is not a legitimate offer, do not contact me again.

I opted for the employment app Wonolo. After supplying all of the personal information requested I schedule a personal interview that is provided from the app. After the personal interview I talk to a female about the hiring process as is provided from the app handbook. The following app procedure supplied what appeared to be an employment insurance policy for which my signature was requested, I signed the policy, thereafter the app becomes did functional by the lack of the progressive functional continuity. When I look up for the employment on an employment board provided by the app it is simply empty. Hereto, from this stage onward there is not way to contact Wonolo, this evidently leave very suspicious has I searched the insurance policy I had signed the date seems to progress in the form that I signed yesterday but where I sign there displays today's date. This abnormal obliteration has me feeling I have been duped by an identity theft scam.

Contacted me about personal assistant employment then asked for my account information social security etc.
