Hector – Apr 29, 2020

I was contacted via text from (610)-910-5545. I did a little research before going into the so-called interview that they wanted to have over Google Hangouts immediately. So that sounded weird to me. I did a little research and I came upon this website. Where another user reported this exact scam. So I wanted to get another report out there to show people this is real and not to fall for it. To show people that this is a scam and not to get tricked into giving any banking information out! I was originally contacted by Mrs. Kathleen Moore from their so-called recruitment team. They apparently located me on careerbuilder.com.

A1 PHARMACEUTICALS PLC: “Referencing for the customer service representative position and would like to conduct an online interview to discuss the duties within the job, Pay is 35.75 per hour, Let me know if you’re interested? We are currently working on setting up some branches in IL,TX,WI and Fl, That’s why we are employing online, but when the new office near you is ready you can be assigned to one of them that is if you qualify after the interview.”

Me: Ok I’m definitely interested.

A1 PHARMACEUTICALS PLC: “Alright, your interview will be conducted online via the instant messenger, do you have a Gmail Hangout or Google talk messenger on your phone or pc.”

Me: I can get Gmail Hangout On my laptop. Once I set it up, what would you need from me?
A1 PHARMACEUTICALS PLC: “Good, Let me have your Gmail Address, and Make sure you are available online for the interview. I proceeded with Ok will do Kathryn. And thank you! My address is BLANK (PUT MY EMAIL ADDRESS HERE). “Okay, Kindly invite Mrs. Marguerite R. Dean on Gmail Hangout. Send her an invite and IM ([email protected]) for the job interview. This is our first step to proceed further. She will be expecting to hear from you soon.”
Me: Do you know yet what time the interview will be? Or do I need to schedule one with her over Google Hangouts?
A1 PHARMACEUTICALS PLC: “ASAP”

Me: I proceeded and I just now sent her an invitation! “Okay good”

So the conversation moved over to Google Hangouts and here is the transcript as follows!

A1 PHARMACEUTICALS (Mrs. Marguerite R. Dean) : “I believe you are here and ready for the Job briefing interview now?”

Me: Yes Ma’am! How do I go about this? Do I need to call you through this application? (The application I’m referring to is Google Hangouts via the email [email protected] Which is what the other person that claimed they were also attempted to be scammed. They were contacted via the same email. So look out for that email.)

Type of a scam Employment

This company contacted me via email initially. The interview took place over google hangouts. The position I interviewed for was for a Customer Service Representative . The company said I would need to use their office equipment which they would order and I would need to pay for with a check they sent to me for $4989,72. I deposited the check into my bank account. I was told that I needed to pay their vendor via cash app or zelle . I was only able to send $1000.00 through zelle. I contacted my bank who was helping with this process. Finally, I realized that this was a scam when this company asked me to send them cash via Fedex. I refused. Right now, their check has not cleared and I am out of a $1,000 plus a possible bounced check fee from my bank.
