Krane Construction Scam
I received a job offer for office assistant for a construction company named keane construction out of NJ.. They just said after looking at my "application" they want me to join their team at $20 PER HOUR AND $50 bonus. They were also setting me up with a home office. New laptop.....they told me to go visit their website. Couldn't reach anyone with theach numbers they provided. This was a Jona Hardy Human Resources. They were persistent in me confirming information until I sent email telling them I was not interested in their scam....no response as of yet. They wanted to send me a check so I could cash it, take out my $120 plus %50 bonus plus take out additional $100 for gas and I was to send remainder to "vendor" who was gonna set me up with complete home office......
I just received an email from Hardy Jonas claiming to be with Keane Construction with the same offer. I did respond to the first message but then had second thoughts and decided to do some digging. Glad I did and that I found this post! I just hope they don't have too much of my personal information...now I'm worried about identity theft! Soon after I responded to them, some stranger with a name that appears to be Russian started following me on Instagram. I immediately blocked them! Oh, the challenges of living in a digital world!
You're not going to deposit the check, right? Because it's certainly going to be a fake check. I'm glad you can see through this! You're absolutely right with your signs-of-a-scam. The "too good to be true" pay, the fact that they were very impatient with you, the inability to reach anyone at their business. I'm glad they didn't get you. Keep yourself safe!
This also happened to me. I had them send the check to me and then I said I was going to take it to the bank it was drawn on and they freaked. Lol
