Type of a scam Employment
A local woman by the name of Kellie Thomas in Moncks Corner, sc posted in a Facebook group: low country pay it forward for a work from home position making $500/week. Sounded too good to be true but what the heck right? So I reach out and it’s a message I’ve seen before: Hello, how are you doing? Your job would to be in charge of running errands for my company, which you will be doing (2 days)every week. The errands will be within your city(Within your bank and walmartno carrying of loads or driving around) and there is no fix time or day, which means you can get it done at your convenience during the week. You will receive a check from the company which you will get every week via ups and your weekly payment will be paid upfront with this check. The company agent’s funds will be added to the check to get the errands done. You will be get $500 every week and all information needed will be given to you. Just get back to me if you can handle this so we can proceed. We really need someone who is Trustworthy and honest. Thank you.
When I asked for where to apply, info on w4/w9, how do benefits work, where do I bring payroll to etc etc I got minimal detail. I was told to apply through her. Because I’ve seen the message before, I pressed for further questioning on these matters and “how do I know it’s not a scam” or “what your url for the website”? Her responses were that she does it too and I could google the site. I then told her I’d apply online then to which her response was, “no you have to do it through me”. Needless to say, I wasted the time of a scammer lol but still. Beware
