I received a text message telling me they had seen my resume on Indeed.com and they wanted me to interview for the position. I’ve had this text happen several times before so I was skeptical. When I looked up the CNO Financial Group they WERE offering jobs but they weren’t remote and were located in a completely different state than me. There was also no Susan Austin associated with the company. Sorry if I posted the pictures backward.

Caught too. I can’t believe that I fell for this one. I honestly thought I wasn’t being scammed and I was getting my “reimbursement”. I wish some people weren’t so darn evil that they make vulnerable victims suffer for their money laundering.

I just got scam by them till the point i had to give them a gift card payment. F i mess up. Quarantine life is so bad that i have to get scam trying to get a job.

They contacted me saying that I applied for a job on career builders website. It was a job from home, totally convenient for me at this point that I don’t have a job and I need to homeschool my son. Sadly, It was a total scam.
They got some of my information, like my name, address and they had me signed an employment letter.
They texted me via google hangout and they sent me my assignments via email.
Today I got a call and I automatically felt that the person was an scammer. Barely spoke English and it was fishy.
They told me to report myself tomorrow morning and that they will send me a check for the last 2 days of training. Why to pay me if I’m still in training? High pay for high school assignments, didn’t teach me or trained me on anything.

They trained you on how they operate. On YouTube you can watch how someone can out scam the scammers.

They contacted me for a job “from home” they gave 2 days of training which was pretty much me writing some stuff. They asked me for general information like my name, address, phone number and the name of my bank. They requested an offer letter to be signed by me and mailed it back. Today I got a called and automatically I assumed it was an scam because he sounded fishy with a broken English. He was sending me my assignments via email and google handout I think he realized I noticed it was a scam so he stoped texting me.

Below is my interchange with them – i knew it was a scam just wanted to be able to report them

Your resume was seen via CAREER BUILDER, We feel you would be an asset to this company and its growth. Kindly reply back with YES if interested to hear more about the Opening position.”
you need to perfect your scam skills a little better – [censored]!

I received a by someone “believing” my name is _________. I respond Yes. He said he was “Micheal Stone one of the recruiting manager of the firm (CNO FINANCIAL GROUPS). Your resume was seen via CAREER BUILDER, We feel you would be an asset to this company and its growth. Kindly reply back with YES if interested to hear more about the Opening position.”

There were several positions available apparently all at $50/hr $25 training, and this was a strictly work from home job. He asked if I will have any issues working from home. I respond “Not at all”.

Interview was to be through the app of my choice, and I chose Hangout, and then he said I needed to forward my Hangout e-mail address right away in order to proceed with job briefings and interview with hiring manager. I wasn’t home so I said I had to do it later. He was ok with that, and said it can be done anytime anywhere. He said I “can proceed right away, Understood?”

After reading about other similar experiences online, I told him my hangout email address is [email protected]

He responded and said “good you are needed to logon and accept some invite…”. I stopped caring at this point.

I had a similar experience with a Pamela Young (hiring manager, Isabella +1 (314) 500-5349 and Brian. Did the fake hangouts interview and sent a bs check to print and deposit.

I told them my hangout address was [email protected] Thanks for sharing your story…saved me a lot of frustration.

This business is listed on CareerBuilder, LinkedIN, and Indeed.com as a "banking or financial services" business. Jobs include Admin Assistant, Receptionist, and Customer Service Representative, among others — all professing to be "work from home". The individuals contacting you will only do so from a text-only phone that cannot receive calls, then ask for your Skype or Google Hangout Address for a briefing and interview. Their SKype user is live:jf3395590. THIS IS A SCAM. They use names such as "Donald Miles" or "Eric Johnson" but they are all Indian and Pakistani and barely speak English! Syntax is egregiously off, and messages are suspicious and do not adhere to typical US English grammatical standards or norms. THEY WILL NOT PAY YOU AND THEY WILL UPLOAD SPAM TO YOUR COMPUTER AS PART OF THEIR "Work From Home Software".

The scammer sent me a text on Sunday, March 8th, at 6:55 pm, stating that he was Mr. Mark Anderson from (CNO Financial Group) contacting me regarding my application posted on West Virginia Health Care resumes) Do I still need a job? I did respond confirming that I did still need a job. Right after I received the text an email was sent to me as Resume Approved. I sent a text back to Mr. Anderson indicating that I did receive an email regarding setting up an interview with Mrs. Clara Coleman. He set the interview up by text for the next day, Monday, March 9th, before 8 am. I did think that was kind of odd for someone to send a text/email regarding a job interview. However, I did as the email instructed, set up an hangout gmail screen with the email [email protected] for conducting the interview. I really thought that maybe it could be legit until the person asked me to purchase a teamviewer or Steam Wallet Gift Card for a conference video call to meet the company board of directors. Needless to say that I had already given he/she my full name, address, name of my bank, phone number, and email address. However, I did not disclose my Social Security number or account numbers. Once I realized it was scam, I did let them know I was going to contact the ScamPulse.com to verify that they were a legit company. The person was really trying to gain my trust but I was not buying it. If NO was not enough, I received a check today, Tuesday, March 10th, in the amount of $3550.50 with a note in the envelope from Mrs. Ellen Morgan from the payment department. I could only attach one file but I do have copies of our discussion from the Hangout screen, copy of the check/note, and text conversation. The SCAMS are real!

So, tell me more please!

I received a text message on Wednesday, May 15th from a number 559-717-8538. The person on the other line asked if I was myself and I said yes who is asking. He stated that his name was Mr. Fred Thomas from CNO Financial Groups and he saw my resume on Zip Recruiter. He offered me a position with the company and wanted to know if I would be ready to do an interview. I said yes and then he replies and tells me that I have to install Google Hangouts in order to do the interview. I did the interview with John Turner the next day through Google Hangouts. I passed the interview however it was all through texts. I never spoke to the two people about the position. After the interview they wanted me to start work immediately. I told them I would not be able to because as I mention during the interview I was still working at my current job and needed to provide two weeks notice. John Turner, the supervisor asked if I could work on Saturday from 8-4 and I said ok. I logged online this morning on Google Hangouts and was given my first task as a administrative assistant: I want you to write short notes on how to Develop Administrative Assistant Skills and the Best Tips for Handling Administrative Assistant Duties. Minimum of two and half pages.

Have it done in WORD and forwarded to me.

Time limit is three hours

I knew that this was a scam because this has happened to be last year with a different company. This company states that they will send you a check so that you can pay for your equipment to work from home. When you try to process the check there are no funds available. Luckily, no money was taken out of my account. I just wanted to report this because I do not want anyone else to fall into this trap and waste their time.

An individual by the name of Peter Ward, reached out to me from a job posting via social media facebook, and offered me a "work from home" job. I was contacted through text message first then was told to accept an invite on ‘hangouts.’ When I mentioned it seemed unreal, I was then emailed with an explanation of the company and job description. It was nothing like what I’m accustomed to receiving when looking for a job.

They tried scamming me into saying they wanted to hire me for a data entry clerk. They first texted me (got my number from job center or monster website , my resume is on both) and then asked me to message nick

Williams on Skype. He "interviewd" me on Skype only messaging. After like 20 mins offered me a job. Sending this "official document" I was to sign and send back. I did not do that. But then told me they were going to send me a check to go

Buy equipment from a vendor. Thats when I knew it was for sure a scam. They wanted me to deposit the check into my account then go buy whatever. Absolutely not! This is so sad, can’t imagine how many people these jerks steal from.

I had exactly the same situation bur I did not deposit the check
