100% scam.

The same group of scammers has been running this exact same scam for quite a long time now--they periodically change their scam to impersonate a different healthcare company. They run the same bogus online interview (real companies do NOT interview employees by yahoo chat,) and of course the interviews end in job offers.

Ultimately the goal is to recruit mules for their fraudulent activities.

100% Scam

Wow, i got the same bastards from india the exact thing you got but only her name was Vick Innocent and i should have know better. I finally learned Craiglist rule number one which is do not do business with people you can't meet! Trust me this is a damned scam. Jun 18 this was the email i got:

one tip from a person to an other, just don't do online interviews at all!!! I actually feel sad because i thought iwas going to get something good near Germantown, MD. Any how good luck on your job hunt!

I feel so stupid! How shoud I handle this?

I had updated my resume posted on my state's Workforce Connection and received an email telling me about the online interview scheduled for 9am. I didn't get the email until 10:30am so sent an email back asking to reschedule. Long story shorter - we started the online interview @ 4pm (YahooIM with contact [email protected]) who disclosed to me her name was Ms Lindsay Templon. Please refer to the other posts for a transcript of my interview, it's almost verbatim of my own.

Red flags, I had a few: I did notice that the Hiring Manager's grasp of the English language and grammer was a bit sketchy, very unprofessional for an HR manager, with misspellings. Canned interview questions asked me about things I'd already covered at least once, so I offered to send a copy of my resume. After getting no response either way, sent a copy just in case to help them. The file was rejected.

After being told I was hired, I was asked who I banked with, but I was vague and only stated the initials of my credit union , but gave nothing specific. I have no funds for them to steal anyway. They also mentioned the software that I would need in order to do the job; 5 different applications that I would purchase with monies from a cheque they would send me, to use at the vendor they would name.

Today was my first day of "training" with Nexgen, spending 2 hours searching financial information on the internet. I am supposed to go online to get the training tasks for day 2 of 3 days training tomorrow - how do I handle this? The only personal information I have given are my legal name, cell phone #'s, emails, and home address. Blast them and let them know I know it's a scam or just never contact them again? Should I report them to Yahoo? Should I worry about protecting my identity or being hacked somehow? Can they be prosecuted or shut down somehow? Any guidance would be appreciated.

Don't tell them that you are on to them, the best thing that you can do is just to IGNORE them block them from Yahoo Chat, do not answer any emails or phone calls.

They will soon realise that you are not interested and will leave you alone.

Nexgen Healthcare PVT Ltd is now Ari Healthcare Pvt Ltd. - I thought it was kind of strange that everything was done through yahoo chat. The Ari Healthcare site does look legit...but when I read this, it was the same. I was contacted through ELANCE - they posted a job there. I did try and look up Ari Healthcare scams, but there wasn't a listing..yet...I also did their "Training".... I also did not give them any banking information....but they are supposed to send me a check to cover the software I would need to do the job...I am just playing around now...I would like to see what kind of check I get. Not that I am going to cash it. Not sure who to contact when I do get the check - What agency investigates banking fraud - here in Florida? Any help would be appreciated...

Thanks!

Could you post the URL of Ari, in context in the email you got?

^^ The domain is registered to someone in India, and claims to be in India, and has been registered since 2003, so it appears that the scammers are piggybacking on a legitimate domain. Indian drug companies are unlikely to need data entry people in Florida, and real companies don't interview on Yahoo chat.
