Crypto Company Reportedly Scamming New Hires Out of Thousands, BBB Says
A fake cryptocurrency company has been accused of scamming newly hired employees of thousands of dollars, according to recent alerts sent out by the Better Business Bureau (BBB).
The agency said that it has been receiving complaints since November about Cryptocurity LLC which advertised job opportunities and vowed to hire employees who have "little to no experience" to carry out cryptocurrency transactions in return for a pay of $3,000.
One of the complaints received in November involved an individual who claimed that they applied for a position that was posted on the job listing website Indeed. The individual said that the company was recruiting a Trading Assistant who would start off on a probationary period of 30 days to complete orders worth nearly $32,000.
"Applied through Indeed, they contacted me by phone, it was a foreign person, 'manager Kristy Wilk' that explained the job position in a fast manner and asked for consent, and who was difficult to understand," the unidentified individual's complaint read, according to BBB. "At the end of the call, with no further questions about my previous working experience, she told me I was going to receive a job offer and Employment agreement."
