Employment - USMart Logistics LLC, Over payment painter scam

was contacted by someone claiming to need painting work done. They said they found my information and wanted to hire me for a painting project. The person claimed they would pay upfront by mailing a check and said I could begin the job once I received it. The check amount was higher than the agreed project cost. The scammer then asked me to deposit the check and forward part of the funds to a “supplier” or “assistant.” This raised red flags, so I investigated further and discovered this was a fake check scam targeting painters and small contractors. The phone number they used was (407) 436-4917, and they mentioned a business name possibly connected to USMart Logistics LLC, which has been reported in similar scams. I did not deposit the check or send any money.

An individual who goes by the name Michael Jameel stated he was over the Jameel Arts Museum and was hiring me as his personal assistant to run errands and handle tasks 2-3 hours a day and get paid $850 per week. He also used a secondary email [email protected]. He sent a check in the mail and stated for me to deposit the check into my personal bank and then get 6 money orders in $500 increments and mail to his “supplier” so that set work can be retrieved. The address was to a Chris Miller with the address of 696 E 241st st Bronx, NY 10470. When that didn’t work, he told me to go to several different stores to get $500 Apple gift cards only and scratch off the code and send to him. He was pressing for urgency and rushing me to do so.

Employment - BlingABC Employment Scam

This appears to be a legitimate online ESL teaching company based in Beijing China. I went through the recruiting process quickly and was asked to send my birth certificate or passport and drivers license to verify I was a native english speaker. This is very personally identifiable information and the company took no measures to use end-to-end encryption or secure file transfer. I have not heard back from them after foolishly submitting my birth certificate. To my knowledge, no other ESL company requires your personal documents and I am reporting this hoping to spare others the experience. I have requested and would like any legal documents in their system with my identification to be permanently removed. Below is what they require: The requirement for a passport is specifically to confirm that our teachers are native English speakers from a native-speaking country. In the past, we’ve unfortunately encountered cases where teachers submitted a driver’s license but were later found not to be native speakers. As an experienced educator in the ESL online field, you are likely aware that there is a distinction in compensation between native and non-native speaking teachers. I absolutely trust that you are, of course, and I could clearly tell from our interview that you are an excellent educator. However, due to the past experiences, we must follow this procedure to ensure fairness and accuracy for everyone and request a passport (even if expired) that can confirm your nationality. If you don’t have a passport available at the moment, you could provide a copy of your birth certificate instead.

Employment - Pamil Art Work

I applied to a personal assistant job on Indeed for, Michael Pamil, who said they needed someone to handle remote work a few days a week for only about 10-15 hours. The pay was $850 a week. I went for it knowing it sounded to good to be true. But, I figured if it was, I could just ignore whoever tried to message me. However, after 5 months passed of no follow up I figured that was dead in the water and didn't give it a second thought. But, recently I recieved a text message stating "Hello, this is Michael Pamil, I hired you as my personal assistant. How are you doing? I just emailed you. kindly check your email and respond with answers. Thanks." I never responded to the message, so he texted me the next day asking me to "kindly reply to my email." I did check my email and found that it had been placed in spam. The email goes, NAME, Congratulation! We are pleased to offer you the position of personal assistant. I had to verify all the information you provided. Note that this is a Remote Work from Home part-time position and attracts a Salary of $850 per week. I hope I'll have your %100 diligence. Your quick response to emails and effectiveness will be required as you will be receiving your first assignment very soon. I will get back to you as soon as I have payment for errands and your salary sent to you with a set of Instructions on each task you are to perform. Please note that this job requires you to check your email 2-3 times daily as your total commitment is however needed. Kindly respond to this email with relevant answers to below Questionnaire (I will advise you to give a comprehensive answer to each of these, as all questions are important): - Are you currently employed, and will you be able to devote a minimum of 2 -3 hours of your time to this company daily, what time zone are you in and what hours are you available? (Morning Hours/Lunch Time/After Work) - Comprehensively, describe what you understand by privacy and code of conduct? - Do you have an active checking account ? YES or NO. ( Please don't send me your account details) Email back the ANSWERS ASAP to confirm you are ready for this task. I also sent a text message. Sincerely, Dr. Michael Pamil ART FACTORY GALLERY After reading that, I continued to ignore them and never responded, but then, a few days later, i recieved yet another message telling me "the check has been delievered," to me and to "kindly text back." I then recieved a phone call from the number that same day. The next day i got a text asking if i was there, and then, without knowing (because i had blocked the number by this point) recieved two more phone calls that same day. I have also recieved other texts from the blocked number urging me to "reply to text," asking me "why the silence" and saying "You have my check with you". It wasnt until today that I understood what was being sent me as I had actually recieved a check in the mail! It was for $3,850 dollars and came with a note with introductions and instructions on it about artwork being sent to my address to hold on to until they arrive in the states, and also explaining how to deposit it to my bank, and to send a photo of the reciept and confirmation of deposit to them in his email. This entire experience was extremely concerning. I have, in the time I've been looking for work, experienced scams before, but nothing that involved harassment or was as indepth or desperate like this one before.
