I have almost been scammed. I was offered a job for an "up and coming company" that needed a personal assistant. I was promised $400 a week and as my first task, I had to send a check to an orphanage from the company. However, I have yet to receive anything in the way of tax paperwork, or even company name. BEWARE OF SMITH NELSON. I am not seeing anything legitimate from this person. It never ceases to amaze me of the lengths that people will go to scam someone.

These ads to wrap your vehicle for Miller Lite Beer are nothing but scams. There are tons of them posted again tonight. To keep your money in your pocket, please just scroll on by. Better yet click the 3 dots on their post so Job Case can remove all of these phony profiles.

I had Wix take down their 2nd grade website, so now its gone. Maybe if they have to make a new website to scam people on Job Case every time, they will stop. I doubt it!

Stay safe! #toogoodtobetrue #scam

Reliance Capital Limited want's to pay me $30 a hour to work in their Customer service/Human Resources/Project Manager/Administrative Assistant/Operation Manager/data Entry Skills/. Entry level they say, no prior training necessary. BS!!! I would never pay anyone without the necessary the skill for those position that dam much. Yet I just got their text for a Interview.

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.

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 have had alot of these emails come in from different people, but the same structure email.... i believe this is a class- a SCAM! my wife even tried it once and the first thing they asked her to do was cash a check at a bank, and to wait for further instructions. Dont try to cash it!!! so we are on the look out for these creeps now. I hope this will help someone.
