This scam is old but he has a new company name and a Muller Anderson doing the dirty deeds.

New Company name is Adecco Group (Which is a legit business in Switzerland) handler name is Muller Anderson and he contacted me through the employment app UpWork. Here is the copy of the entire exchange. I caught on after getiing a response that I got the job and was getting paid 37 dollars an hour to which I requested an offer letter immediatly and he would not give one till the next day...That is when I gave the laptop the stink eye and started hunting for everything I could to discover what was going on....took awhile but I copied a part in our gmail IM text that seemed like it could be found somewhere on the internet and it was the accounting software list he gave me....so I copied and searched for

Here are the name's of the software's you will need to start working with LIST OF SOFTWARES: Intuit QuickBooks Accounting Software,Sage Simply Accounting Accounting Software,Peachtree Complete Accounting Software,AccountEdge Accounting Software for Windows,AccountEdge Accounting Software for Mac,Sage 50 Premium Accounting 2013

That's what landed me here on this thread...exact same software list and 8am meetings request for tracking number of a check and MacBook Air that was beeing shipped to me....I gave him my name and email address for "the check" but all other info was either a number off or mispelled address....Also, once I realized what happened I put on my best grateful attitude and explained in detail how happy I was and how happy my dughter was going to be when she found out....yeah after he wasn't going to send an offer letter, I knew it was a scam.....I was so mad and so sad as I have been looking for work for 6 months and thought I finally found one...I am also contact UpWork as they are pay my month service and with all the vetting they put me through to have not one but now 2 people as of last night contact via Upwwork running the same scam. Below is the entire conversation IM...do not keep in contact, do not tell them you are reporting them, just ignore any further attempts and notify you state of the fraud and I am so sorry if you got any further than this and I can never get back those 2 hours of a fake interview again. Stay smart and Stay Safe!

In my most current position I was able to locate and identify 20 SAP Data Migration Analyst for Coca Cola working on a W2 basis for only 45$/hr located onsite at Coca Cola in Atlanta, GA. I was the only recruiter able to staff this position out of 28 Coca Cola Vendors. SAP Data Migration Analiyst's average hourly rate is 60-70/hr.

I do not sleep soundly until I am no longer a liability to a company. I operate on the belief that I am an asset that will personally, through smart work and diligence, pay for my salary and I expect to double, triple and more to that salary via commissions, as a self-sustaining and total asset that can pay my own way which happens to immediately add positive impact to your company's success. Compensation is always negotiable.
I am an avid Lead Technical Recruiter that is always seeking knowledge and the latest new technology and using every tool available to reach out to the IT professionals how they would like to be approached. I love researching the top performers in our industry and learning what it is that they do successfully and consistently. Sometimes I beam with pride because I realize I have some of the same habits and mindset, but my favorite is when I learn something new, something I did not know and then researching that to make it my own. Technology is changing faster than anyone can keep up with and we must constantly change and adapt our systems of communication.
