Please remember this email this is a SCAM [email protected] and this GMail is from the person I worked for 5 days please report it to the authority [email protected] I believed that this is the person who leads the operation. Hope this would help the authority for further investigation.

My only problem is that, I send my information/resume and picture to them. Help me to prevent them from posting my identity for their illegal transactions.

They are not trying to commit identity theft or anything like that. They are hiring mules to forward goods or money obtained with stolen credit cards or other scams.

Did they use any website, or any domain other than free email domains such as Gmail, to pretend to be a company? If so we want to shut it down.

Just stop answering them; if someone sends you a check, don't deposit or cash it; if someone sends you money by WU, don't pick it up.

Hi! Any news about this scam? Did you receive any reports about your identity? please let me know as my friend also applied to this posting. thanks!

Hi I am also a victim of this scammer, please be careful with this scammer... My information resume valid id and picture is with him since i gave it to him through email... and then I started working for him for 2 weeks then i realized there is a money involved that is why i got scared, then i realized to check his information, when i check on his email, i then realized he was really a scam, he is giving me several of task, and etc.

I'm one of the victims of this scam I'm actually
RINA LABELLE F. ROMERO , I was never an HR and I was so adamant to find a job online since I'm bored. What happened is i saw this on several online sites which i forgot. I was able to send a copy of my SSS id and I thought this was legit and realized after I sent the copy of my IDs' that this is a scam. I'm scammed too and I got scared because a friend ask me if i still have the job vacancy and I was appalled by how they used my name and got scared. Please don't fall for their scams like I did. Lesson learned! I applied early this year. Stupid me I know.

I never worked for this company or whoever is running this scam!
