I received a text message from someone purporting to be "Mabel with Robert Half Recruiting", offering me a potential job opportunity to help companies like Costco and Sam's Club with customer engagement. With the exception of the sketchy email address that the text came from, the text message itself is detailed and free from spelling and grammar errors. Furthermore, it uses the name of a real recruitment/marketing company which lends to its legitimacy. The text notes that the position is "flexible and can be done from anywhere" in an age where remote work is heavily valued.

I received the following email below about a job opportunity: Hi, I hope you are doing well as I write this. Currently, one of our clients is looking for a Senior Vice President of Business Development to join their team in a recently acquired company, and after looking at your profile, I believe your background would be a perfect fit. Please respond to this email with your resume if you are interested. I would love to speak with you further about this opportunity and provide you with more information about the company after the initial client process. Looking forward to your response! Best regards, Amanda Lawson Sr. Recruiting Specialist I sent this person my résumé but they said it wasn't ATS compliant and supplied a link to convert the document to make a compliant. The cost was $17. My family and I were out of the country on vacation and I thought it seems a little bit fishy, but I was in a hurry at the time and just wanted to move the process forward. Since then, nothing has happened, and the person says the position is on hold, but that they will keep me posted. I've sent informed them that I know that I was scammed and then I would follow up with my financial institution the Better Business Bureau and law enforcement.

Cindy Booma reached out to me with a job opportunity of working from home as a project manager. She informed me that the training was paid, 16 business days. She asked me not to use my personal bank account but to open one with Wells Fargo, Chase, etc. She reported to me every morning with the days assignment, sometimes it was to watch a YouTube video on budgeting and wrote a report, sometimes it was research a certain software and write a report, other times it was do crypto currency transactions. She said the company dealt with crypto payments alot from clients and they needed me fo learn how. She would send me an amount, $185 and some change or $115 and some change, she would send that from the company wallet to my coinbase account. Then would have me transfer it from there to my bank account that I opened for my direct deposit to go into, and transfer it from there to my crypto account and then back to the company wallet. As a way to practice such transaction. She never asked me for my personal account information, nor my social security number. She would call me every morning to make sure I was ready for the assignment and then email it to me. On business day 16 of my training, I asked her how much longer my training would be, she informed me it would go until the end of next week, August 8th. I told her that I had bills coming up, and was told this was 16 business days of training then get paid, and I needed to be compensated for what I had done up til this point. She told me she was emailing that department and figuring that out for me and would get back to me. The next morning, she didn't call me as she typically did, and when I tried to call her, the phone is shut off. I also sent an email and got no response.

I was initially contacted by a "Recruiter" via email by [email protected] and then [email protected] about a job opportunity with Lockheed Martin, I checked on LinkedIn and verified that these are Lockheed Matin Recruiters. The first "recruiter" requested my resume. I checked my Lockheed Martin Candidate account and verified that the position they mentioned, "Cybersecurity Analyst" did not exist. I then sent a response email requesting for verification and validity via position Rec# from their own company email. I never heard from them since.

Employment - Shopphantom

Contacted via WhatsApp with Job Opportunity. When I replied, personal information was taken (name, address, phone). Job was ostensibly to review products for online merchants (Amazon). Went through initial training then started. Two tasks per day, 39 reviews per task. I got paid .4% per task per set. First couple days I earned like $10-$20 per day. I was assigned a coach who encouraged me to upgrade which would require adding money to a Crypto.com account or I could wait till I built up $500. None of this felt kosher but I wasn't spending money, just time so no big deal. I searched but found little on the internet about this company or any related scams. Three days in I received a $39 bonus. Coach said this was random and rare. Then I recieved a $60 bonus on day six. I transferred money to my bank though Crypto.com Onchain (at their prompt) then into my personal Coinbase wallet then to my bank. I had to transfer $50 back into Onchain then Shopphantom to keep working. I had to complete two tasks, 39 review each, to stay current. Day 9 I was up to like $250 when I received what was called aa Affiliate Marketing 300 Million Carnival Bonus - $158,777. I thought this was too good to be true. It was. First I got confirmation through the Customer Service portal. Then a rep contacted me to assure me it was real. My coach was super-excited for me. I have screenshots of many of these text conversations (as well as the email sent concerned the bonus). When I went to withdraw to Onchain it was rejected. When I asked why the company rep sent a screenshot of their Terms and Conditions saying the Onchain account required 10% of my total account balance before they would accept my transfer, something to do with money laundering. Red flags and alarm bells went off for me. I said I could not and would not invest $16,000 plus of my own money on a maybe. I was repeatedly told that 1) I'd signed an agreement 2) my money would be accessible through my Onchain account and 3) don't worry, we got you bro. I walked away.

On Tuesday July 5, 2025 a person named Marcus Benson called around 4:15pm offering me a job and he sounded like one of those foreign scammers so I hung up. I then proceeded to call back and he answered so I thought a scammer wouldn’t answer a return call. The next day I was contacted by Eliza Grant from 505-777-5356 they’re so called shipping department informing me of next step in process. I couldn’t find any info on Brighthaul until I received an email that said Brighthaul Freight and that’s when I discovered the truth.
