I got a call from a company, saying they are looking for the same profile as of mine. My resume got selected from their client. Once I crack interview, I will be able to join the company on an intern program and then as a full time continuation with a salary of $70K-80K. But before this, I need to complete an online training from them for which I would have to pay a refundable amount of $800. Is it true? I think this is all fake! Please comment.

Hi, I have a question regarding the company Sterling Biotech Ltd. I just finished a Google Hangouts interview with them and I got the job, but i am a little suspicious of the company. I will be receiving my Employment Offer Letter by the end of today.

This is what has thrown me for a loop.

The FUNDS for the software's and office equipment's also with a new Apple Mac-book Laptop and a time tracker that you will be needing for your 2 weeks professional training, will be provided for you by the company Via check once it has been approved from the financial department, as your first Accounting TASK. As soon as your check has been approved and mailed out to you i will notify you and provide you with the tracking number, so you can keep track and know when it will get to you,to begin with your first TASK.

I googled and found them on Linkedin most of the employees are listed are located in India. The company seem to be legit and they have a stock exchange listed along with all the pertinent information. Are there any other suggestions that anyone can give before i sign the acceptance letter. I really don't want to get caught in a scam.

Thank you for any suggestions that any of you may have.

So - I applied for a job for Gateway Management through Zip Recruiter. It was a customer service position. I get an e-mail for an interview - the email was from a Sheri at Zeal Management requesting an interview - signed by Catherine - but from the listing for Gateway Management - red flag #1. Zeal Management then called me to schedule an interview, which I accepted, and then started investigating the company. It doesn't exist. Called the company who posted the ad - was assured it was a real company, and a good job - but refused to give much information. Assured me it was a real opportunity despite the building where the interviews were being held had a FOR LEASE sign on it. Go to the interview (they were actually there) and I am told there are TWO positions - a Manager position at 30K a year, and a Customer Service position at $8/hr (half of what I made at my last job before I was laid off). They will only be 2 people to run the office. Still no information on the company other than the compensation. Was told we'd be called by 3 pm if we made it for the second interview. I was interviewed at the same time as another woman. My interview lasted exactly 7 minutes before she sent me on my way. Surprised to get a second call that afternoon and was told to come in today at noon for my second interview. I figured my management experience and office skills had moved me to the front of the pack.

Go in today for my second interview to discover a total of NINE people for this second interview. Turned out to be a presentation about the manager position, the hours, the pay, the benefits, etc. Mentioned the parent company - Scentura Creations. Told about training 6-8 weeks - $200-400/week. Red flag #2. All nine of us were hired at the end of the presentation. Red flag #3.

So - I am the last one left and she asked us all the same questions. I told her I had a few for her myself. I asked her what the training involved, and told her not even her local office would confirm anything I asked them. She tried to evade the question, and I told her I deserved an answer because I was getting red flags from the first time they contacted me. She finally confessed you would spend the training period selling the perfumes. Told her the money was unacceptable for my and that I was not interested in selling anything like that because I specifically told the gentleman I talked to that I was NOT interested in anything that involved door to door sales, approaching complete strangers, or working parking lots. He assured me it was nothing like that but was a B2B job, but refused to say how they marketed - catalog, internet, mailing - and I asked. I then asked once the training was completed, did we run a retail store, etc? Was told no - we would be doing the same presentations she was doing over and over. At that point, I KNEW I'd been scammed and lied to. I politely informed her that I was probably older than everyone else in that room, including her, and I knew a pile of fertilizer when I smelled it. I also told her I was NOT interested as this was definitely not a good fit and I would be turning them into Zip Recruiter for a fraudulent job posting and a bait and switch interview process. I then walked out and I will never go back.

WHY do people pull this crap when you are desperate for a job? Almost everyone in that room except for me was under 30 and probably had little to no sales experience at all, and they all seemed to accept everything without question as they walked out. Also - be on the lookout for any company associated with Scentura Creations out of Atlanta. It's a purely commission sales job that makes you sell cheap knock-off cologne in parking lots for commission only, Then you have to dupe other people into doing the same thing. Check out their reviews on Indeed....almost nothing positive.

I continually receive information about job offers from random emails without professional support of any sort. Is this a new way of hiring or is this a scam of sorts? I have been trying to figure out what their purpose would be if it is a scam, but I have no clue. They are always hiring and they have no business name attached to the email. They say they've obtained my information from a career engine but never mention which engine. They usually ask me to email them directly and not the company/ What is this really about? No, you are not getting my information until I do diligent research. I hope no one else gives up their information while they await their time to secure gainful employment. Can someone please explain what these people are possibly doing? Is my caution impeding my opportunities for a new career? Does anyone else see this as unusual? Here is an example... irshadfreebirds@gmail.com Mar 13 to dalilonekkdh We found out your profile details and email from careers online resource.

I got a mail from Northern ohio. They took interview through google hangout which made me confused. I am new, so i dont know what to do. Does anyone face this kinda situation?

I received a call today from a business claiming to be expanding to my area. The told me that there was to be a group orientation/class in a town two hours away and wanted me to go. When I told them that the city was not an option due to the extreme violence that has been happening there they said they would email me the information. I was okay with that until the woman told me that it would take THREE TO FOUR DAYS for the email. I do not claim to be computer/internet suave but I thought emails were almost immediate. Could this possibly be a scam or can it really take that long to send an email?

There is a man who wants me to pay $319 for the watch starter kit and so I'm no longer than a free user in their website. I told him I can't afford it but he keeps pressuring me. I would only make 10% commission. I think the website is HTTPS://myworldgn.store.booksandstitches.com

I signed up as a free user but can't afford the expensive kit. Any advice?

I've recieved several emails like this and they all sound too good to be true. Has anyone ever had any of these sent to them ?
