I uploaded a resume to careerbuilders.con and I started getting txted. stating he wanted to get in contact with me for a job in OHIO when he is calling from a [protected]. got my information from career builder. i deleted my account with them. states his name is Abdul. The number does not go through and he wanted me to download a app

I may be over thinking things but go to there official website, then go to contacts where it lists all the addresses. Some are actual business buildings that they probably just searched and threw in, but there is a handful of addresses that are just random houses. would a legit company have house addresses on there site.

Owner Of Information Technology Companies Arrested For Visa Fraud, Obstruction Of Justice, And Harboring Foreign Workers
Two Companies and an Employee Also Charged in Indictment

NEWARK, N.J. – A New York man was arrested this morning pursuant to an indictment charging him, two information technology companies that he partly owns, and an employee with fraudulently using the H-1B visa program to reduce skilled labor costs, U.S. Attorney Paul J. Fishman announced today.
Sowrabh Sharma, 31, of New York, is charged – along with SCM Data Inc., a New Jersey corporation, MMC Systems Inc., a Virginia corporation, and Shikha Mohta, 33, of Jersey City, New Jersey, the head of finance for the companies – with one count of conspiracy to commit visa fraud and to obstruct justice and one count of conspiracy to harbor aliens.

Sharma is scheduled to make his initial appearance this afternoon before U.S. Magistrate Judge Cathy L. Waldor in Newark federal court. Mohta was previously arrested in May 2015 on a criminal complaint and was released on a $100, 000 bond.

According to the indictment unsealed today:
SCM Data and MMC Systems offered consultants to clients in need of IT support. Both companies recruited foreign nationals, often student visa holders or recent college graduates, and sponsored them for H-1B visas. The H-1B program allows businesses in the United States to temporarily employ foreign workers with specialized or technical expertise in a particular field, such as accounting, engineering or computer science. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security, U.S. Citizenship and Immigrations Services (USCIS) was empowered to approve and process applications for residency within the United States, and the U.S. Department of Labor (USDOL) was charged with the enforcement of the requirements of labor regulations, including immigration-related employment standards and worker protections.
SCM Data, MMC Systems, Sharma, Mohta and other conspirators recruited foreign workers with purported IT expertise who sought work in the United States. The conspirators then sponsored the foreign workers’ H-1B visas with the stated purpose of working for SCM Data and MMC Systems’ clients throughout the United States. When submitting the visa paperwork to USCIS, the conspirators falsely represented that the foreign workers had full-time positions and were paid an annual salary, as required to secure the H-1B visas. Contrary to these representations and in violation of the H-1B program, SCM Data, MMC Systems, Sharma, Mohta, and others paid the foreign workers only when they were placed at a third-party client who entered into a contract with SCM Data or MMC Systems.

In some instances, SCM Data, MMC Systems, Sharma, Mohta, and others generated false payroll records to create the appearance that the foreign workers were paid full-time wages. The conspirators required workers to pay SCM Data or MMC Systems their gross wages in cash. In exchange, SCM Data or MMC Systems would issue payroll checks to the foreign workers in a smaller amount. The conspirators then encouraged the foreign workers to submit the bogus payroll checks to USCIS as proof that the workers were engaged in full-time work despite the fact that they were not working for SCM Data and MMC Systems.

Once USDOL launched an audit of SCM Data and MMC Systems, the conspirators provided fabricated leave or vacation slips to USDOL for the time periods that the foreign workers were not working in order to conceal the fact that they were not paid during those time periods as required by federal law.

The visa fraud and obstruction of justice conspiracy charge carries a maximum potential penalty of five years in prison and a $250, 000 fine. The alien harboring conspiracy charge carries a maximum penalty of 10 years in prison and a $250, 000 fine.

U.S. Attorney Fishman credited special agents of the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement’s (ICE) Homeland Security Investigations (HSI), under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Terence S. Opiola, and the U.S. Department of Labor, Office of Inspector General, under the direction of Special Agent in Charge Michael Mikulka, with the investigation leading to the charges.

The government is represented by Assistant U.S. Attorneys Anthony Moscato and Joyce M. Malliet of the U.S. Attorney’s Office’s National Security Unit in Newark.

The charges and allegations contained in the indictment are merely accusations, and the defendants are presumed innocent unless and until proven guilty.

I, too, am in the process of trying to get paid. I only worked with them for eight days. I was told my first direct deposit would be the Friday after the first Monday I worked. It was never there. On that Friday, they told me it would be deposited that Monday and even told me the gross amount. I was actually terminated that same Friday. The person who called to tell me I was terminated told me to get my pay schedule in on that Friday and I would be paid the next Wednesday or Thursday. Today is Tuesday. I've talked to the payroll company about the first check and they said to call LanceSoft. I am getting the runaround. Even the second pay schedule has been approved and it is up to LanceSoft to have that direct deposited. I am glad my contract ended. I don't have time to be chasing money that is due to me. DO NOT TAKE A JOB FROM LANCESOFT! Even in the beginning, they said they had a job for me that started on a Monday...they put me off for two weeks. They speak English with a very heavy accent. At first, I truly thought they were scammers and even put a fraud alert on my credit card because I was worried when they took my information. You honestly don't have to worry about that. But they are shady to deal with when it comes to payroll and when you are going to start your job. Just be careful.

I believe you because I am working for them now and they keep screwing me on my hours. I was supposed to get paid for 69 hours and I didn't get anywhere near what I was supposed to. I have been emailing them and calling them. Just to be told that my email will be forwarded to payroll. Of which I had already done that and I had already tried calling payroll but the number my recruiter gave me was not working. I am still waiting for someone to get back to me which shouldn't take long because I have the electronic timesheet that was approved by the client and they should have access to that too! They should also be able to look at my paycheck of which THEY processed because there is no paystub on ADP where it should be! I am going to get an attorney if they don't FEDEX me my friggin $$ by tomorrow morning! I am also looking for another job and I suggest that anyone working with them do the same! Also DO NOT REFER PEOPLE TO LANCESOFT!
