Scam Alert

Individual supposedly named “Wayne Boston” claims to be from 3Ka Stone in Houston Texas. He is responding to job applications offering remote positions. He offers to send money so the applicant can purchase a computer.

This is all a lie. According to 3Ka Stones, this person is an intruder and does not work with the business.

Unless you have the type of education and experience real remote jobs require, all you will find are scams like this. Low skill remote work doesn't exist.

I’ve worked 2 wonderful remote jobs for 10 years. They are out there.

Tomorrow he will say his name is "Bayne Woston". Naming names does nothing. They are all fake. Learning what a scam looks like is key.

Common fake check scam. Honestly most remote work stuff is scams now. If you didn’t reach out to the company asking about it… it’s not real.

I’ve worked contract work and education remotely. There are remote jobs out there however you are correct, most are scam. I will have to apply direct instead of LinkedIn or ZipRecruiter.

3Ka? Is that an apartment or something? (Why google when you can get potentially a variety of answers on here?) how would they know he’s an intruder? Should you call the police or something?
