Complaint Review: AAC Technologies - Changzhou

After wasting a few hours of my time interacting through Text Messages followed by Yahoo Messenger communications, and, unfortunately, giving information about me and my experience in response to an invitation for employment pre-screening, I conducted an online search to find information about the "Software Needed" as described in the job offer. I had never before heard the names of any of the software listed in the exchange after "being hired" through the screening process. That is when I found this Ripoff Report website, as this was the first search engine "hit" that came up as a result of my inquiry. 

"LIST OF SOFTWARES: Agilent version A.6.1.1, A.7.1.1 and A.7.1.2 Affymetrix version MAS 5 (5.0, 5.1), GCOS (1.0, 1.1), and dChip 1.3 GenePix version 3.0, 4.1, and 5.0 NimbleScan version 2.1.16 SpotReader version 1.0 Peach Tree version 2011 Premium US Patent Single Users Pack BS 1 Accounting software"

I found: ripoffreport.com/r/Christine-Donelly/internet/Christine-Donelly-Christine-Donelly-BH-Lighting-and-general-supplyIncMs-Melissa-Smith-766797

The above entitled Ripoff Report is over 3 years old.  I am here right now to report that the same scam is being perpetrated today using another company website as the anchor for the scam: aactechnologies.com/career/contact-us

Reading the Ripoff Report on Christine Donelly, I was immediately embarassed for I had "fallen" for the same line of questioning.  Fortunately, I did not have a bank account number to reveal when asked by "Mr. Rogers" during the close of the interaction.  

Here is the scammer's introduction:

employmentdesk33:‎ My name is Mr Peter Rogers 63years old and who is the Hiring Maneger of (AAC Technologies Holdings Inc). I would personally like to invite you to become part of our team performing work-from-home jobs we supply. I am located at Sunbury, PA .

The rest of our conversation follows the same script as reported on Ripoff Reports "Christine Donelly" found at the link mentioned above.

What these scammers are attempting to do is to excite the victim into giving out banking information.  Then, the checks they send will not be good or valid checks.  They will somehow manage to get the unsuspecting victim to buy the software from one of their companies using the victim's own money.  

Thank you for this opportunity to warn the Public.
