  Thank you for sharing this new and "creative" scam – one that's a bit out of the ordinary compared to what you normally share here.

  This scam truly seeks out the vulnerable unemployed who might have a sense of urgency and desperation that causes them to overlook signs of potential fraud. Providing your Social Security number and bank info for direct deposit/wire transfer are part of the sharing to get paid with a new job.

  I hate to say it because it's a sad condemnation of society today, but anything that seems too good to be true ... needs to be thoroughly checked out.

  Agreed re it targeting the vulnerable Dean. I can't share victim specifics, but some folks that have been hit by this are the last people you want to see affected. They're already busy, applying to multiple jobs while juggling life, not expecting to get scammed, and then they get hit. As I said in the opening, it's infuriating.

  This is the first time I have ever seen such a detailed account of a scam. So many of the tactics that these hybrid devil humans use are evident throughout.

  There are a couple very important keys that are used to unlock what are normally red flags to most of us.

  First is the social aspect. As we moved towards a more impersonal way of communication - where many people were not as adept in communicating to begin with and we're likely less social already - electronic communication was easier and eliminated a lot of the barriers of in person socializing. It also brought people, tall or short, social or not, good looking or ugly, no matter the difference - a much more even plane of opportunity. People are beings that feel, want to be included and recognized, and accepted.

  So the recipe for those devil humans is served up just by them taking the time to communicate. Add positive rewards or a means to fix a problem and game over for the victim.

  I have found that many good hearted people don't have a belief in the world that someone would hurt them.. They trust with no bias. They figure there is a name if a person, an email address or phone number, a check with a bank name printed on it, a money order that says USPS - all us good and then it isn't.

  I have also found that 99% of the scams I have been shown or come across also have common traits - the voice you hear us not local the words you read are usually not grammatically correct, and punctuation is off.

  I blame part of the problem on the those that are the keepers of phone numbers. It used to be that when you cancelled your number the carrier did not reissue it for quite some time - at least 90 days. Now, it's almost instant.

  Craigslist is another issue. When you place an ad and provide your email, the responder sends a reply through craigs list to you. You then see the responders email address and as soon as you reply to it, your email address is used. To fully protect both parties, the communication should be handled through Craigslist.

  Unfortunately, I have grown to not trust anyone. Trust has to be earned and even then with open eyes.

  Protect yourself with some easy steps. Don't open or answer anything from those you do know and trust. Block and report spam. Realize that you never accept payment from anyone that wants something from you immediately. Question everything. And again.

  There are variants of this scam. Some years ago, I received an e-mail from someone wanting to buy some of my photographs. After a couple of exchanges, I realized the "buyer" was simply trying to scam money using a weird process. They would pay me, thousands of dollars for my photographs, send me a check for an amount double the purchase price, then ask for half the money back because it was sent by mistake. By the time the victim realized that the actual check received actually bounced, it would be too late. My instincts and a little poking around the Internet saved me a huge headache. Artists, photographers, beware.

  If it sounds too good to be true, it is!

  YES! I had the same thing happen. A company wanted to hire me to do a voiceover. They sent me a big check which I was to deposit and I was to pay the recording studio before it cleared. I almost fell for it, since I had their check. But it was so fishy, I asked my bank about it and they said, NO, not only will I get ripped off but if I deposit a fake check, they could cancel my bank account. I tried to contact the FBI. They don't care. There's some sign up form nobody there ever looks at. So this type of scam can continue on and on.

  Art buyer scams have been around for quite a while now. LOTS of similarities here. I've had ones where the buyer offers to pay thousands of dollars for my artwork, but they want me to use their own personal shipping company (who you pay in cash). It's always a rush purchase (for their "wife's birthday"), involves a large cashier's check, and sending them back money for a "mistakenly written amount". I always string them along for a while, but never agree to receive a check or cash anything. This example is pretty sad since everything in the offer feels "legitimate". Any time there is a rush to do something with cash, that's the one huge Red Flag here.

  Thank you for sharing this. I also know of others who have been taken by similar scams. It is heartbreaking. It seems that because the victims are down on their luck and somewhat desperate to find a job they are especially vulnerable as they suspend their normal concerns and get pulled in and are hurt in more ways than just the loss of the money. It’s very sad to witness. Thank you again for sharing.

  It's really sad that this is hitting people who are looking for work. It also seems like the farther a person goes down the rabbit hole with the attacker the more trusting they become. It's always good to have some healthy skepticism in situations like this. And the money's not there until the check clears the bank!

  I have experienced similar dealings with individuals offering employment on sites like upwork.com and freelancer.com. They are posing as potential clients, but slowly direct the target outside of the vendor platform, then beging soliciting PII for "employment" purposes. Be careful and follow the policies set forth on the vendor sites and you should be ok.

  Thanks for the article.

  You say "You may need to spend money out of pocket in the future because reimbursement has become standard practice among many companies".

  Could you please elaborate on that? Maybe practice is different overseas (I'm from Europe) but I can't imagine a situation where an employee would use personal money for job purpose or give money back to company.

  At Defiant we issue our team with corporate credit cards, so that isn't the case. But in the USA it's common practice to provide employees a way to get reimbursed for expenses incurred on things like a company trip to a conference. e.g. If they took a client to dinner and put it on their own card for some reason, they can claim that back. But that should never happen as part of the onboarding process.

  Ok. I understood that the other way around where an employee would have to reimburse the company.

  As someone who's job hunting right now for something else remote (with zero luck) since my current job's nowhere near enough to make ends meet, this really hits close to home. I've already found three different job scammers in the months I've spent in my job hunt. I never gave them any information, and our communication never made it outside of LinkedIn.
  I'll be posting about this on my blog as well, since scams are a topic that have come up frequently.

  Thanks Mark. Appreciate all you do to keep the vulnerable safe online. I just don't get this part:

  "The victim spends the money out of pocket, on the furniture, in a non-refundable way. The victim is out of pocket thousands of dollars. And the “furniture company” is actually the attacker who now has the money."

  If I order locally I know where and who I am buying the stock items from so how is that money ending up in the scammer's hands? Please don't tell me they order furniture from some fake online shop? If so I get it now and how naive and sad is that.

  It kind of makes sense. You might expect that companies, with their huge buying power, would be able to cut discounted deals with furniture companies on behalf of their customers, so I wouldn't have a problem believing it. Sheesh.....

  Another thing I've seen is using a "Cashier's Check", which is supposed to be as good as "cash" to the bank. They will often immediately credit the money to your account, and then *retroactively* back it out of the account once the check eventually bounces (sometimes weeks later).

  In 1993 I was a victim of furniture scam and it was not online. They had a showroom setup, with name and address, merchant accounts... Luckily I paid with Visa card and when I didn't receive my furniture when I moved into my new apartment, Visa reimbursed me. I try the police and was told it is not a criminal case. Went to the court, spent $50 to file a complaint and was told that they can not locate the furniture company!? I had to hire a private investigator, find the person I paid and if I am lucky, to get some of my money back!
  In a less developed country I would get my money back with help of two friends...

  I have seen a similar scam in the acting industry. That Scam offers money for makeup and clothing you need to purchase for the gig. They send you a check for the expenses and then will send a fashion and makeup artist to your location. They get your money and run! I was also scammed with an audition reel. I did the audition and the took my footage!

  It is happening more as people are looking for alternative ways to earn money from home. No need to be embarrassed about this... just be aware!

  Sincerely,

  Is it an interesting variation of the man-in-the-middle attack. The person in the middle is the person being scammed. The attacker is actually on both sides of the communication. The person in the middle believes them to be independent of each other.

  And, yes, it preys on people who are in sufficient need of a job that they would pass over the unusual arrangements.

  I agree that it is getting easier to fall for some of these scams. They are more creative than the schemes of the past.

  One thing that rarely changes in these scams is grammar and word issues. I will caution that any wording outside of the norm for your country should always be a red flag. Foreigners will frequently misphrase sentences and make them sound silly and even employ rare or abstract meanings. If the contact is supposed to be from the same country, watch out.

  This would set off alarms for me: "In the second phase, trainees will imbibe a direct-stringent approach ..."

  The word "Imbibe" is rarely used in the US outside of meaning to drink alcohol.

  There were other clues in there. They have what I call a "scammer accent". You can tell by the language hiccups smattered through the conversation that they are ESL speakers or using a translator program. Anytime I see that, I'm instantly suspicious.

  Hi Ron. I'm the one responsible for that choice. As I was editing the post, I was absolutely paranoid that I'd accidentally expose victim data. So I went overboard in terms of editing the images and erred on the side of protecting the victim even if I accidentally obscured some of the attacker data. ~Mark.

  I've heard of these sorts of scams. Sadly they've been going on since even before the Internet, and back then the scam would be conducted by mail order or phone. Some variants of this scam will also attempt to recruit the victims into the scam to scam more victims, to supposedly "get their money back" or will trick the victims into thinking it's not a scam, while they're working for the scammers.

  I had this experience just yesterday. The attacker hired me to design a website for his newly lunched Restaurant, he insisted on issuing a check on the basis he has restrictions on using other means.
  We agreed on the project at a cost of $1200 but instead he sent a check of $2900, so he wrote me an email and requested that I should clear the check at my bank and wire him back $1900 while I keep $1000 as upfront payment until project is delivered. It was at this point that knew it was a scam, then I took the necessary measures

  I saw a few red flags, but those of us here are more sophisticated than many, especially if someone has been out of work for a while and bills are mounting. . .
  Grammar, word use, capitalization, spacing, spelling—and the final “put your contact info here” rather than sending the new hire to a company site.

  It is really important to share this sort of warning! I will be doing so.

  We used to see this in retail all the time. Customer would order by phone for a gift basket or flowers to be delivered, and ask for a cash gift to be added to the envelope. The customer would offer to include a tip for providing the service, and to cover credit card processing fees.

  Big surprise, the retailer would get a chargeback on the credit card a few weeks later.

  More recently, I've seen this through online marketplace sites. Customer pretends to want a website, then asks that the vendor charge thousands of dollars to the client, paid on CC, with the vendor then remitting much of that money to a consultant or other contractor who has been working on the project.

  Same scam, many different forms. Always evil.

  Similar scams are on the web for years. I have to monitor multiple email accounts (about 15) and see right away the scams sent out with similar content but from different names and emails. I do not even have to open the email.
  People can also fall into scammers hands through ebay or kijiji. When I get an exciting offer I first check when this person has opened his or her account, and believe me, the majority are maximum one month old.
  We need to be very vigilant and check every possible peace of information, because we have absolutely ZERO protection from authorities.

  I used to take on these types of scams some years ago. I think it was about 2008 when I stopped. I used to go along with the scams, let them send me the fake bank drafts and pretend to lodge them. They would spend weeks asking why I haven't sent them the "over paid" amount back to them... I had about 5 different scammers sending me bank drafts at one time. One scammer sent me a bank draft for €10,000 which was supposed to be €1,000, expecting €9,000 back.. This is the kind of money these guys are scamming from people, and have been for years.

  I don't know how some people fall for these scams when they are so obvious. But the thing is, if people keep falling for them, the scammers will keep scamming.

  I have had several individuals try this with me and they have all used the Telegram app. It is almost the exact same conversation, as though they are using a copy and paste script. I have never been interviewed via an instant messaging app and immediately let them know they are being reported. It's sad that someone will put more effort into coming up with ways to scam people than just to legitimately work...

  I have had this same experience with a little variation. The check itself was suspicious and my bank confirmed it wasn't legit. While at the bank I informed the so called hiring manager that the check was no good. They told me to deposit it in my ATM....I never do that even with legitimate checks! So I gave him a piece of my mind and never heard another word. That was my own stupidity at fault really. My bank also said it was happening pretty often to other folks (I live in a small town so was surprised to hear that) but it was very frustrating because it was a job I found on Indeed. I have since spotted several others and have even contacted several companies to verify the open position but never hear back from them so obviously, the jobs I inquired about weren't real. It just makes it that much harder to find the real ones. I have since signed on with some local temp agencies in hopes of getting my foot in the door that way. Since then I have received texts from time to time from someone saying they found my resume on a site, and my resume wasn't on the site they mentioned so I ignore them. But I'm probably going to change my phone # now regardless 😊

  Wow, it sounds like the sooner the US does away with Cheques the better. Obviously different variants on this exist here too (Australia) but the automatic trust of a cheque is just too easy and I'm glad they're really a thing of the past.

  I still have a chequeboook somewhere... but its been probably to 15-20 years since I wrote one.

  The whole job-seeking and interviewing process on its own is already enough of a drag without the added danger of being targeted by opportunistic con artists.

  I ran into one of these when a friend's daughter got a remote job offer from her resume posted on Monster.com. They came to me to review it for legitimacy as I'm a retired security admin. Sure enough, it was a scam with similar characteristics as what has been described here. She was put through a Zoom interview, but the interviewer never had live video, just a still photo. They wanted her SSN, and in return were going to buy her a bunch of tech in support of her new graphic design position. Fortunately for my friends, we caught it before any harm was done.

  To tell the truth, this project is not only necessary but also so respectful, deserving a huge amount of attention. Of course, In Africa, Uganda is known as the country that has the most developed education system but despite this fact there schools are in need of many improvements and children are in need of plenty of conveniences. Without any doubts, with the aid of Wordfence education in Namasale will achieve a new level of advancement and pupils will be able to go to school with more desire. I think that this project contributed to transforming not only schools in Namasale, but also the whole area to a large extent. Frankly, before this moment I hadn’t heard about such an initiative and you accomplished a great thing which affected a lot of spheres in Namasale in a positive way, providing children with opportunities to study and feel safe. It is so valuable.

I ended up losing so much money, I nearly became homeless due to being unable to pay my rent. I'm still trying to recover.

  I fell for this type of scam a few years ago. TWICE in the same week. I was right out of college and had just met my then-future wife and wanted a job to go on dates with her. I realized it was a scam because it was 2 different "employers" in the same week with very similar interviews and both "hired" me. I got the check from both but the checks looked kinda fake and I never cashed them. They got my address, date of birth, and name of one of the banks I use. Not the worst leak of information but I felt like a fool.

  Omg. This just happened to me. I knew it was too good to be true. I can't believe I fell for it. Well actually yes I can because I am in desperate need of a job and have 2 young son's to support. I didn't give them any personal information except what the name of my bank is, my name, address, phone number, email, and phone carrier. Do you think they can access anything of mine? I feel so foolish. Please help
