I recently received a message from a lady, in my case, named Lisa Batson, titled "Interview Invitation - Data Entry Clerk" and the email described the job and other details. The per-hour salary was higher than the average data-entry-type job at $25/hour, which was the first sign that something was not right; however, I was hopeful, so I did what was asked and sent a Google Hangout message to "Mr. Wortham Higgins" to discuss the job. I won't go into all of the details here, but the end result was this: They basically groom you by being very kind, giving details of the job that sound legitimate, and follow the steps that a normal interview might give. I was given a list of supplies that would be supplied to me which consisted of a laptop, desk, chair, time-clock, etc. that I would purchase from their vendors after I received a check via FedEx. At this point, I was basically onto the game, but played along to see what would happen. Even so, I did what I considered my due diligence and looked into the company, which was "Alencure Biotech" out of India, and it appears that it is a legitimate company, which gave me a bit of hope that maybe I was wrong. On a Monday morning after talking with him for 3 or 4 days, he said I would get the check that morning and I should take it to my bank, in person, and deposit it. I took it directly to an officer of the bank and they knew right away that it was a fraudulent check. "Mr. Higgins" and I had a couple more conversations where he denied anything was wrong and he was going to his accountants "right away and get an answer". Haha. Anyway, what they are doing in this scam is this: They get a person to deposit the check (in this case, $4,900), wait until the money shows up in your bank and immediately purchase the equipment from their vendors. You will never receive the equipment (Duh!) and will be on the hook at your bank to pay back the money. It was very eye opening, but I could see how easy it would be to fall for it. I have always been aware of computer scammers, so I caught on fairly early, but I know they occasionally get people to follow through. Since that happened, I have seen several more come to my inbox with basically the same system. Bottom line: IF YOU DID NOT APPLY TO THE COMPANY, IF THE OFFER IS TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE, OR THE COMPANY IS FROM INDIA, AS IN MY CASE, AND THE GUY'S NAME IS "MR WORTHAM HIGGINS" (HAHA), IT MIGHT BE AND PROBABLY IS A SCAM. #scams #wordsofadvice

The hackers have started leveraging corona-virus for their own gains. They are scamming millions of innocent people who aren't aware of these fake email and website scams and are losing their hard earned money to these ruthless hackers.

The most common types of phishing scams related to corona-virus are following.

Fake pandemic map websites that will try to inject you with malware and viruses which might corrupt your windows or hard-drives. These are then used to blackmail the users.

Phishing websites posing as authoritarian websites for covid 19 fooling people into providing important information. This results in selling information or compromising user privacy by hacking their accounts.

Email Scams claiming they have found the cure to the virus asking you to click links which install spyware in your systems.

The best defense against these scams is awareness. Without awareness, you won't even consider it a threat and thus, you'll give in. Other than that, using VPNs to browse the internet protects your online activities against the hackers as it hides your IP and makes you anonymous and untraceable. Here are some of the best and most secure VPNs you can use to protect your identity.

By using a VPN, you will be alerted every time you are about to enter a malicious site or receive an email with a spyware. Thus, it will do the detection for you and you will be protected from such attacks.

Remember how in childhood, you parents used to tell you to not accept candies from strangers? That applies online as well. No one loves you that much that they will out of the blue offer you a plane ticket or a $100K without any reason.

So you should stop trusting everything you see on the internet and be aware that they are after your money and your data as staying conscious is the only way to beat them and stay safe online.

I received an email message as part of my Job Case employment search from Sari Harvey representing herself as being from United Healthcare Group this is a scam!! The initial text interview seemed harmless until they asked for banking (to pay me through direct deposit) and credit card information. I did a quick search for scam alert Sari Harvey and I was not the only one contacted by this scammer. Be on the look out.

I see the same people are at it again, trying to scam. Please avoid clicking on a post like this. Although they change the profile names it is the same scams.

There should be a special place in h*** for the people that do these check scams. Especially right now when so many people are suffering and worrying about where their next meal is going to come from or how they're going to keep them roof over the heads of their families. This is the 2nd time I've been roped in by something like this and I'm starting to get very upset and feel stupid and gullible. Thid particular instance is a mystery shopper for Walmart where they send you a check mine was in the amount of $2620. The instructions in the letter that came with the check on the surface seem pretty straightforward. I was to evaluate the customer service desk of Walmart by using the money less my commission payment of $500 to evaluate the process by which buying money orders was done at Walmart. After the last time with being asked to cash a check and forward on the cash caused me a lot of headaches and heartache i definitely heard warning Bells in my head, but continued reading just in case this was a little different. And it is a little different rather than sending cash obviously they want me to get money orders which is completely legal mailing cash like this other company wanted is not. Also calmer the current situation says to deposit the check not cash the check like the previous. What really set my spidey sense a tingling was that they wanted the money orders left blank That seems fishy to me. Besides obviously trying to pass on a bad check and leave someone else on the hook for it, I am wondering what other motivations there might be to do stuff like this period my husband who has been watching Ozark lately quickly came up with its's drug money they're wanting you to launder it. Thoughts?? #scams #walmart #checkscam #secretshopper #gbdsdurvry #businessevaluationservices
