r/JobScams

If you apply for this job on indeed, please know that it is fake. My father in law was almost scammed out of $5k by this fake job. Me and my in laws knew it was a scam but there was zero information on it when we looked it up. Just one sketchy website in Dutch. there was no information on whether it was a scam or if it was legit. They sent a $5k check, which my father in law deposited. Thank god he didn’t spend the money because he went to his bank and they confirmed this was a scam. Putting this out there so if there’s any other victims out there looking for a new job, this is not it!

For details on the job they wanted to hire him for: data entry remote job for $29 an hour. They stated that they were opening up an office in Florida Lakeside, but they are stationed in the Netherlands. They said that they were a waste management company.
They sent him $5000 in order to buy equipment for this so-called “job” and then send the remaining to their vendor.

Please be aware!!

Gather around, because this is the messiest agency horror story you'll read today.
Meet **Mirraya Creatives**—an agency run out of a house by Director **Balaji Sundar** and his wife, **Dimple**.
They were desperately begging people to get me on board because ONMO+ (a major publicly listed gaming brand competing with Jio and Nvidia) is their very first agency client, and the client had been totally unimpressed by their amateur services for weeks. They brought me in to play savior.
Here is how that circus went down in just 2.5 days:
• **Zero Execution on Launch Day:** ONMO ( On Mobile Global Limited) launched five games today. Mirraya didn't post a single story, Reel, or campaign anywhere. In fact, for a multi-platform mandate spanning YouTube, Meta, LinkedIn, X, and Discord, they had literally posted nothing for an entire month.
• **Pure Amateur Hour:** They are putting raw, unedited AI-generated captions straight onto brand posts (complete black-hat territory that gets accounts flagged by Meta) and put inexperienced interns in charge of an enterprise gaming client. Meanwhile, they actively blocked a custom Independence Day campaign concept I built. Also the called me to their house for a meeting but instead I was met with arguments, harassment and a drug addict intern whom abused me on company WhatsApp group at 5am when he was high. Lol
• **The Exit & Petty Drama:** The client saw right through the incompetence, insulted them, and stopped payments. When I called out their platform risks, demanded my pro-rated dues for Monday, Tuesday, and today's half-day (a whopping ₹2,500), Balaji blocked me after taking a performance marketing media plan worth 1cr.
I replied right back to my official offer letter thread with: "Hey Mr Unprofessional, am waiting for my payment of earned wages."
If you or anyone you know is ever thinking of working with Mirraya Creatives or Balaji and Dimple—run. They wanted to play games, so now they get to deal with the fallout.

I got an interview done today for a company. Initially the third party HR didn't tell me the name of the company. After asking her 3-4 times she gave me the name "3AI DIGI WORKS PLUS 3 OTHER MORE COMPANIES". 💀.

I ignored this and agreed to the phonic interview. The guy, the said head of the company said instead of using digital marketing services from an external agency he wants to open a vertical in the company. When I pressed for the name of the company, he said : ISM consultancy services, and they are into Ad Tech, Pharma, Agriculture, insurance, retail credit, export business and more. Then, he kept going on and on about how he wants youngsters to work for him and he hates the employee and employer relationship, like i would be my own boss and the salary would be dependent on the performance of my work. He'll pay for everything and help build the connections whereas I'll work and learn.

Now not to sound unprofessional but this sounds sus to me. What do y'all think? Am I just overthinking.

He said we'll connect more with you tomorrow with my wife so that you would be more comfortable there.

TLDR: DO NOT TRUST EVOKE PLC 'RECRUITERS'

I've been on the job hunt for about a month now after getting laid off. One of the requirements in my state to be on unemployment is to be registered on WorkInTexas. I didn't put too much thought or research into that platform since I usually use indeed or linkedin for job searching.

This week, I had a 'recruiter' named 'Gemma Brown' from Evoke Plc contact me via email saying that they had seen my resume/profile on WorkInTexas and felt I would be a good fit. They then instructed me to message them on MicrosoftTeams or email them if I was interested in moving forward with the candidate process. I was pretty desperate for a break plus the pay wasn't too bad—so I emailed them back. They then had me do about an hour long text based interview with what seemed to be an AI. Initially, I wasn't too put off since I know almost everywhere is using AI for part of their interviews, resume screenings, or cultural fit screenings but I never thought somewhere would go 100% AI for this...Following the interview I got an offer in about 20 minutes and got an email from their 'HR' team with onboarding information asking me to complete an offer contract and some tax forms. I was really suspicious the entire time because what company would EVER offer $32/hr for a fully remote job without even calling or virtually meeting a candidate?!

After looking super close at the email domains and the company itself to see if I could contact them in ANY way, I realized this was a cornball identity theft scam... It's really sad and disgusting that people are preying on folks simply looking for a way to pay their bills. Stay safe out there and always triple check email domains and ask for a phone call if you are in this similar situation.
