Quizlet (imposter)
I applied for a proofreader position on indeed.com. I was then contacted a day or so later via text from the number 201-298-3403: “Good day I am Denis Gwen a Temporary Recruiter at Quizlet Company and I am reaching out to you in regards to your resume posted through Indeed for a Remote Proofreader for $40.00/Hr. We believe you meet the needs of desired criteria so reply as soon as possible to schedule an interview. Thank you” I replied to set up the interview and was told it was to be an entirely text based interview via teams and to look up my interviewer one there using his phone number +15125536616. This linked to an individual who is supposedly named Tim Miller on Teams and who claims to use the email address [email protected]. He put me through about 45 minutes worth of interview questions exclusively via text. They all pertained to the position I applied for. It didn’t seem terribly odd to me that it wasn’t a video call or something because it was a remote proofreading job. Who cares what I look like, how I talk or what my body language looks like? If I can effectively and grammatically correctly communicate through written means, that’s what the job is about. He ended the interview stating that I’d hear back by the next day about next steps. The next day I get this message from him on Teams: “I will not take much of your time. Due to your level of experience and communication skills, the company has decided to give you a chance to work and would like to see your diligence, charisma, and commitment to this job. I and the entire Board of Directors welcome you to Quizlet Company. Your salary will be $40 per hour, and you will receive your payment via check or direct deposit, whichever is fine with you. You will receive your duties online daily, and I will always be online to assist you with any difficulties. This job offers flexible hours, but you are to report online at your convenience from Monday to Friday for duties, tasks, and assignments. You will be undergoing five days of training and orientation, which will commence as soon as you have all the working materials, and you can rest assured that you will be paid during the training. The company will provide you with a free MacBook Pro laptop with a fast internet connection, and your W-4 form will be coming along with the working materials you need to start working with. The names of the software you will need to start working with were provided during our interview section. Your training supervisor needs you to get these programs ready to enable you to work accurately with him or her. kindly hold while your employment letter is been sent. The employment letter was sent from what at first appeared to be a legitimate email from Quizlet HQ, however upon closer inspection, the email address was [email protected]. I didn’t notice that until after I had responded to them and completed their next requested steps. The letter read as follows: “Congratulations on being part of our dynamic team! The entire office welcomes you, and we hope to have a long and successful journey together, We are delighted to have you among us. On behalf of all the members and the management as discussed, we are happy to officially offer you the position of a Remote Proofreader as of ( 12 January 2024).We will be inviting you to a live conference interview, So you can be introduced to the whole team you will be working with as soon as a day is scheduled the invitation will be Emailed to you. Your Position and picture will be uploaded on our website within five business days. you are required to provide a VALID identification card attached to the Documents below. Feel free to reach out to us, should you have any questions. Congratulations once again we wish you the very Best. Sincerely, Quizlet Company” The live video conference mentioned, never occurred. In their attached employment contract there was a document that vaguely resembled a direct deposit form which required me to fill in which bank I use, if it’s a checking or savings account and what the account number is. I filled it all out, sent back the completed form with a copy of my drivers license and a selfie (which was the best I could do for a headshot for the website on such short notice). They then told me that instead of them sending me the computer and printer, they’d email me a check for $2,500 which I could use to mobile deposit and then after the funds were available they would direct me to their preferred vendor to purchase the equipment. I deposited the check they sent me and within a day it was showing as posted. When I filled my husband in on all of this when he got back from a trip, he kindly told me that this sounded too good to be true and that it was likely some sort of scam. Together we looked at the employment contract and compared it to the actual company site and realized that the logos didn’t exactly match and he pointed out that the email address wasn’t a Quizlet.com address. So after some significant poking around the actual Quizlet.com site, I found an email for their support team and sent them a copy of the email sent to me asking if their HR team could reach out to verify the validity of the job offer. I was met with this response: “ Hello, I won't be able to provide you with a phone number or email address to our HR department. The only way to communicate with them is by applying for a position through the careers page on our website. If you have already done this and have received this or any communication by these means, you will need to get in contact with the HR department through these means. Please be advised that the offer letter in question does not seem like an official Quizlet document; we recommend verifying the email address in the communication for authenticity. Quizlet firmly stands against unethical behaviors and encourages vigilance against such deceptive practices.” So given that whoever these people really are have my bank name and account number, I went to my bank today to see what could be done. They took one look at the posted check and said it looked fraudulent and their fraud department was likely only days away from marking it as non certifiable funds. She flagged it as fraudulent to make the process go quicker and then assisted me in putting a hold on that account and transferring any of my funds to a new account. Her theory is that they’re “preferred vendor” for buying the computer and printer would likely be a shell company that they also control and as soon as I used my account to purchase the equipment they’d have effectively laundered their fraudulent funds as well as confirmed all of my account information and it’s highly likely I’d never have seen that laptop and printer I was supposed have purchased. Also, equally likely that I would not have heard anything from my supposed new employers.

Online Purchase
The website claims to sell French Bulldog puppies for $600 plus $200 for shipping. You have to email them first with your cellphone number so they can contact you because they do not want to list their home address on the website. After you commit to buying the puppy, they are very eager to ship the puppy out to you immediately so they ask that you buy the puppy soon via Zelle or Western Union. If you try to ask if you can come to their farm and pick up the puppy, they will tell you that their vet is against that. On the day they claim to ship the puppy to you the shipper will start to email you. They will email you stating that the puppy needs insurance and that it is reimbursable. The shipper will then email you again in the day to tell you that they are unable to ship the puppy out because the insurer left for the day. I believe they target the holidays because they used Easter as a reason the insurer left. On the next day, the shipper will tell you the puppy successfully boarded a plane but the plane will have to go some other destination. Not your destination. Once the puppy arrives there, they will email you again stating the puppy needs more things in order to be shipped to you.
