I was contacted by a Sharon Derrick to set up an interview with a data entry company. She said that it was to be done via Yahoo IM. I set up my IM account and did the interview. I will copy and paste it below. I was told that they were Nokia (the phone company) and I would be doing accounting and data entry online. I thought it sounded great. Then he said I would need to send $120 western union to a woman named Elizabeth Shreve in Tennessee. When I asked him for proof that this is Nokia, he would not give me any info. When I asked why I was sending money to a person and not nokia, he said that this woman was a shipper of the software. I googled his name and even contacted Nokia. There are NO work at home positions available with their company.

Please avoid this guy at all costs. I already read another rip off report where he is advertising other jobs too. Look for the names: Sharon Derrick, Derrick Donnelly, and Collins Donnelly. Also look out for the woman in Tennessee where you send the funds. I am not sending the money, b/c I found the rip off report with the exact same email I recieved. The email reads:

Amber (4:34 PM): I thought there was no fees for employment with your company. That is what Sharon Derrick said. I understand the need for software, but I would like to do some more research on this before I send payment. I went online to nokia.com and there were no job listings for data entry. Can you provide me with some proof that this is really nokia? Thanks.
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:35 PM): what do you if this is really with nokia ?
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:35 PM): all softwares is provided for you and all that is required for you is just $120 for shipping fee
Amber (4:40 PM): I am wary of sending money via western union. I have heard that you should never pay anything upfront to work with a company. What is the name and information of the person that I am to send the western union to? Is there a place where I can research this job first to make sure that this is legit? I cannot find any information about Nokia jobs that are available for data entry, and I would love to work with your company, but please can you provide me with additional information so that I can confirm this is legit? I hope you understand my worry. I just think that this job sounds great, and I would love to do it. I just want to be able to verify that this is really a legit job. If you can provide me with some sort of information that will show me that you are nokia and that I am sending my payment to nokia, that would be great. I would love to do it. I just want to make sure this is not some sort of scam. I apologize for any concerns. I am just trying to make sure that this is legit. It sounds too good to be true.
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:41 PM): what information do you need ?
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:41 PM): to be sure this is real ?
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:42 PM): i understand
Amber (4:43 PM): I am sorry to ask you all this. I just want to make sure it's legit. I would like to research this job first before I send my money. I would also like the information of who I am to send the western union payment to so that I can be prepared. Thank you.
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:43 PM): alright here is the western union information of the shipper........
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:43 PM): Name :Elizabeth Shreve
City :Smyrna
State :Tennessee
Zipco de :37167
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:44 PM): Name : Elizabeth Shreve
City : Smyrna
State : Tennessee
Zipcod e : 37167
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:44 PM): got it ?
Amber (4:47 PM): Thank you. Is there any way I can google your name or the position available to make sure that this is the real thing? Sorry to panic, but I have just been scammed in a similar manner by a work at home "job" that was not real. They could not give me any additional information, and I trusted them and then I lost my money. I have been out of work for awhile and need to make sure I don't lose out of any more money. Is there a website that employees can go to? Can I have some sort of info to show that I am now an employee? Sorry to ask you so many questions. I know you must be annoyed. I just want to do more research before I make the payment. I don't mind making the payment for the software, as long as I can confirm that this is a real job and that I am now an employee. Thank you for understanding.
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:49 PM): listen........
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:49 PM): this is not one of those scam running company's you see around ok
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:50 PM): why on earth would NOKIA a world wide ell phone company want to do with your $120
Amber (4:50 PM): No, it's not that, it's that I am not sending the money to Nokia. I am sending to a person.
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:51 PM): all necesary information and will be provided for you during your orientation and training process as soon as you recieve the softwares
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:51 PM): you dont have to send to nokia because the shipping agent that is sending materials to you is not under nokia
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:52 PM): they are just an agent that we operate with
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:52 PM): we have been operating with them for years and there has never been or any complains
Amber (4:54 PM): Ok, thank you. I will try to do a little bit more reseach and check with my husband to make sure this sounds good. Do employees get a login to go on the website or something? That would sure confirm this is legit for me. I did check the nokia website and they said they have no available work from home jobs in any area. That is why I was worried. Sorry to freak out. I just don't want to lose out anymore. I will check into this a little bit and send the money today. Thank you.
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:55 PM): you can only have access to all that as soon as you recieve the softwares
DERRICK DONNELLY (4:55 PM): ok bye for now
