Wonder if I'm being scammed - WCL
Posted: May 05, 2014
Has anyone applied with accuray.com? I interviewed with an Anthony but he gave a gmail address and wanted me to download yahoo messenger to conduct the interview. On the computer equipment he said they would pay part of it but wants a fairly huge downpayment sent either Moneygram or Western Union, so pretty skeptical of that. Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
Yes, it is a scam...sm - Diana
[ In Reply To ..]My daughter almost fell for a scheme like that for a personal shopper. If I were you, I would cease ALL communications with this person. It will lead you nowhere good. Just my opinion.
Anyplace that wants to "interview "you via Yahoo Messenger is a scam - anon
[ In Reply To ..]Every legitimate company I have dealt with communicates via phone or an email with their company email (not yahoo, google, aol, etc.)
Why do people fall for these scams? - sm
[ In Reply To ..]Seriously, I can't believe you would fall for this blatant scam. A gmail address is the first clue! Wanting you to send money by Western Union is the next clue! As long as there are gullible people, these criminals will always make money.
Probably the same reason they keep - falling for matchbook schools
[ In Reply To ..]I can't understand it, either. Gullibility or something, I don't know.
Envelope-stuffing, swampland in Florida, multilevel pyramid marketing, get rich quick schemes, and now internet scams. There are warnings about this EXACT thing all over the place.
No legitimate employers operate this way. Never buy equipment or software from a prospective "employer."
These same people show up on the coding board unable to tell the difference between a legitimate course and a scam, or between a legitimate college and a diploma mill.
Bad, Bad, Bad - see msg
[ In Reply To ..]Never pay money to get a job, period. The only time you pay money to get a job, is to pay money to a very good school that will train you to get you a good job. Note I said "very good" school. Lots of scams out there, too.
^ That was the best advice in this thread. - SayItGirl

I have a sinking feeling that I have beened scammed by a transcription company. Anyone else out there feel the same way? I have worked the necessary 6 weeks (sounded fishy to me from the start) before getting my first paycheck. I have done exceptional work for a great doctor. I have yet to see any money. I really like this job, but am scared that I have been taken for a ride. I pray that this is not the case. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks, Ava ...

There should be a warning out there about this company! I read the reviews and I thought, well they must have gotten their act together by now. Apparently not.....I have worked for them for 3 months and have only been paid once and that was for 1 week......I really needed the job and really need the money......I feel like an idiot...what they do not know is my daughter is an attorney in L.A. and she works for the District Attorney there.... ...
Think I Have Been Scammed By MT Company

I am disparate for work so I sent my info/paperwork to a company Friday so that I can start training today and they have not contacted me over the weekend or today. I have called them and emailed them and have not gotten a reply either way. I am worried. Should I assume they are ruining me? Or are they caught in that awful snowstorm and have no electric and cannot contact me even by cell phone? I don't buy that excuse. What should I do at this point? ...

Doing research on how to get this woman to stop stealing from her MTs, I called the Bexar County Sheriff's Office in San Antonio, TX. If you are not getting your money go directly to your local Sheriff's Office and file a Sheriff's Report there. Your County Sheriff will forward the complaint/report on to Bexar County. There they will bring theft charges against this crooked woman who likes padding her own bank account with her MTs hard-earned wages! ...
