There is a new job scam out there. Someone posing as the head of HR for a California based company called Aviana Global (Michael Walker) is contacting job seekers to join the team as a work from home rep. The company itself is legit however, he's making contact by wanting to do a online only interview through Google hangouts. He offers to send you a check to buy a new laptop and wants you to deposit the check. ..withdraw the cash. .and use the cash to send it to one of their online vendors. I did my research and found this out on Mike Walkers linked in page because he had posted a fraud alert

Some dishonest recruiters will take advantage of you and it's just not right. Some recruiters have fake jobs, some won’t send you to great jobs because they want to waste your time with other positions where they get higher commission. Be careful!!

I received a call from a company today about a Project Coordinator position I applied to...but the problem was that I never applied to that company. When I searched my emails, I noticed I received an email confirmation from the company at 3:35am but no email was found within a day showing I applied for it. Of course it was an entry level position ... with no job posting online. What benefit do these people get from pretending that I applied for an entry level position? It would be different if they contacted me to say that they found my info online and wanted to discuss a job opportunity with me...but to lie for no reason...... It's sick. Someone should start checking into these types of scams (EEOC possibly?)...

I have been applying for a little of this & that. By that I mean PT F/T & etc. I received a response from a Awid Estate. They wanted to send me a check for $2,702. Their instructions were to cash the check, keep $135 for myself. & Western Union the rest to France & pay the fees for Western Union out of the check. The code name for this transaction was KIMYMBE. I responded saying if it doesn't sound right or feel right, it's not & I want nothing to do with this at all. We are all looking for honest work here. Be very careful out there. Incidentally, this was a work at home site. Wow. If you don't use your common sense with some of these sites you really can get overwhelmed with the crap.

I'm not sure but I feel like when I post my personal information to get a job someone's stealing my information. It gets me so upset to think that I'm s victim of identity theft!!! Just a warning, ask lots of questions for your own protection before you give potential employers or anyone your private information! Unfortunately there are evil people in the world that steal your information to their own advantage! Be careful! I really wish people would stop using other people's identities! Thank you for your time!

I was contacted by CIGNA Healthcare or a company that represented themselves as CIGNA Healthcare, about a position that turned out to be a scam. All job seekers - please be careful with what information you give out over the phone, internet and now they'be infatuated Instant Messenger (Google Hangouts, Yahoo Messenger, etc). I've worked in HR for a number of years and everytime they asked me for something I would counter their request ... "We need you to Scan and email us a copy of your Drivers License." - I will provide you with my I-9 documentation when you provide me with an Offer Letter and a new hire package.

Today, they reached out to me and told.me that FedEx had tried to make a delivery to me at 6:35am and that I needed to call this number ASAP to arrange for the package to be redelivered. Before I made the call, I went to FedEx Tracking online and saw that the tracking number provided had been returned to the FedEx hub because it had been refused on deli very. I called FedEx (1-800-GoFedEx) and not the number provided. The lady at FedEx told me the package # was a fraudulent shipment.

I've been applying for remote/work from home employment and have received several offers for this one position which sounds very odd to me. The job description is to receive packages, inspect them, take photos/document/email inspection to employer and then send them on. Ummm...So you open a package that is already on it's way to the recipient.. inspect, document..and then drop back in the mail??? Is this even legal??? ~~Job Description: Logistics Inspector
