Nigerian scammers using Incy Healthcare's name [email protected] Online Data Entry Job for "Incy Healthcare" Lagos, Internet
A couple days ago I went job searching as I usually do and found a data entry job on indeed.com. I applied for it and got an email back the next day stating I needed to do an online interview. The interview was with [email protected] ( which I am sure is closed now.)
I went through so many questions it was like a real interview. After the interview was over the "lady" said that she was going to take the interview to her supervisor and see if I am a good candidate for the job. After a few minutes she said I got the job and I should report to her online the next day at 8 am.
I reported to her the next day at 7:57 and then I was told I would need peachtree, time trackers and other software then I would get a check for reimbursement soon. I was given tasks like project share values for major companies, balancing cash ledgers and bank statement, and that this was all part of the interview.
After several tasks I was told to report back this morning at 8:00 am again. But I decided that something didn't sit right. I traced the initial email address and it came back with Lagos Nigeria as the user. Then I knew it was a scam.
I got back online at 8:00 this morning and talked to the same lady, but this time I asked her where she was from. here is how the conversation went;
reputerllc: Hello
mrscrystalcole: Good morning and how are you doing today?
reputerllc: good
reputerllc: the check you are sending out, will that be a printed business check?
mrscrystalcole: Yes
reputerllc: not a travelers check or money order style check
mrscrystalcole: Yes not
reputerllc: I was wondering where you are from

mrscrystalcole: NY
reputerllc: because when I seen the location that the initial email was sent it said it came from Lagos
reputerllc: Nigeria
mrscrystalcole has signed out. (6/21/2012 8:59 AM)
reputerllc: Why did you sign out, I already know everything. So I am not getting paid?
I'm sure they already closed the account and altered their scam, but I just wanted to warn other people. During the interview I told them I currently own a company the specializes in finding people online and commonly get hired to track down scammers. They should have gotten the point there that this crap wouldn't fly.
