Well this scam is very sophisticated! The deceitful scammers set up what seems to be a legitimate website with all the bells and whistles. They prey upon job seekers and will then deliver various “on-boarding documents”. They also lure you in with somewhat lucrative monthly pay ($5K/month). I became suspicious when they started focusing in on my personal bank account information, i.e. “is your account balance negative?”, “what is your maximum daily withdrawal limit” and “verify your routing number and account number”, etc. After researching this ploy and contacting the real AES Company, I discovered this entire scheme is a very well-designed scam. PLEASE BEWARE!

SAME E-mail as above. SCAMMERS
Received the same emails from this company and did a lot of research before I actually turned over anything important. Led me here to this, glad I saw these messages before I handed over sensitive information. My uncle really saved my butt on this one. Sorry to all that have been taken by this company, it’s horrible to take advantage of people especially in crises times like we’re having currently.

Type of a scam Employment
I had applied to a manager position to a oil and gas company and had begun training with this company and said that I would get direct deposit money into my account for my pay and now I’m facing with my bank account being closed and fraud claims because I thought I was working for a real company but I was actually being used and scammed by them
I received the same email mentioned. I went ahead and created account just to see and look for more info. I found only emails from the supervisor Lisa Jones that contain company contract, and other emails that asks for emergency contact, address and then there’s a page that asks for all your sensitive info. Like social security. It was alarming, they didn’t do even an interview and they are already asking for that. And when I requested an interview they said it’s home based vacancy! Just that.
They have a fake website and when I called the number they had there, it went to voice mail. http://aes-comp.com
Even the location you go to google maps and you find it’s in middle of stores and banks! Here’s a screenshot to their intranet portal which I got denied immediately after I replied I will pass on.

They will say your application is pre-approved. Then all communication is over email. They ask that you register in a secure portal. Then they will ask you to upload important crucial info like your ID banking information ect.

BEWARE: AES COMPANYS
I received an employment offer from a company I never applied to, AES Company. I did a ScamPulse.com search and their name does not appear. When I asked for a link to their website to review information about the company, none was given. When I asked what the company was about to see if I am even a fit for this position, I received the following email, again, no phone number or website link for me to review.

Anyone googling the company name will possibly notice a company that fits this description and can easily be fooled; however, the difference between the two would be the word Corporation versus Company. I was asked to give detailed information. Had they receive my resume, they would have this information on hand. According to BBB, no such company exists.
