Is Crumbly Town Software a Scam?

Crumbly Town Software located at crumblysoftware.com, which claims to provide IT solutions, appears to be untrustworthy. The website claims they have 15+ years of experience delivering IT solutions to international enterprises and government departments, but their domain name was registered 22 days ago by someone in Panama.

Hey guys. I also got the same offer, with no interview from Amanda Werner.

Had a feeling it was a scam so did some digging and got street views of addresses and noticed the same thing, it was in a weird strip plaza.

One of the other things I found while researching

https://opencorporates.com/companies/us_nc/1565358

It is registered in this guys name. Found his Facebook, now I’m not to sure if maybe someone else is using the company name for a scam or if he is the scam creator.

That guy looks legit, his Facebook profile was created in 2012. It might be that he registered a company and these guys just stole the name and made it look like it's the same one.

Have you tried sending the guy a quick message letting him know that somebody is using his registered name for a SCAM?

Yes, big scam. Applied for the job got hired with no interview. The website is full of errors, the telephone number doesn't lead to a real person, the address is a strip mall that they do not seem to work out of, they have some fake LinkedIn profiles up and have registered their business name but I can't find any other information on any of the people who "hired" me, the president, these other "employees" that work there. They are ghosts on the internet. When I asked the person who hired me to give me her number to contact her to answer some questions about the job she stopped replying to me. 100% scam

Just to summarize what's been found on this thread:

> Site is a SCAM, they are collecting credit card information via this link: https://www.crumblysoftware.com/expenses/

> Their domain name (.com site) is a copy of this company: https://milliontech.com/ which is based on Hong Kong. Just compare these two pages:

Legitimate: https://milliontech.com/solutions/rfid/

Crumbly (Fake): https://crumblysoftware.com/solutions/rfid/index.html

> If you google maps their addresses you'll see a Dollar Store.

> What to do next? Let's report them..

- Report them to their domain host so they are taken down by sending an email to abuse@namecheap.com and letting them know that crumblysoftware.com is collecting credit card info

- Report them to Angel Lists as a fake startup://angel.co/company/crumbly-town-software

- Report them to the BBB https://www.bbb.org/us/nc/mount-olive/profile/computer-software/crumbly-town-software-llc-0593-90327819

- Leave a review telling everybody this is a scam here https://www.serchen.com/company/crumbly-town-software-llc/

- Maybe also contact MillionTech and let them know somebody just copied their site for this scam: https://milliontech.com/contact-us/

Let's prevent these people from scamming any more job seekers. It only takes a quick review or a quick email.

This is 100% a scam. I've tried to call this "company" multiple times and it just says that all their representatives are busy. I also filled out the employment agreement (without sending ID) and this was their response:

"

I've received your signed Employment Agreement, thank you.

While processing your job you'll have expenses that are paid in advance by billpay system.

Please fill in this form [www.crumblysoftware.com/expenses]www.crumblysoftware.com/expenses You will use your credit card to receive the reimbursement.

It's preferable to use TD Bank or Scotia Bank. If you use any other bank, please, let me know.

Sincerely,

Amanda Werner

Development Manager

Crumbly Town Software LLC."

No company needs your credit card. 100% a scam

Same with me.

I emailed this AMANDA some questions and didn't get a response yet. the questions were like this...

Under Job Title and Description, points 2 and 3. Does this mean I need to travel to other institutions for what purpose? And as for courier duties, What courier duties does it mean? Will the company send me something and I need to travel to deliver whatever that is sent to me?

Thank you,

Online Threat Alerts Security Tips

Pay the safest way

Credit cards are the safest way to pay for online purchases because you can dispute the charges if you never get the goods or services or if the offer was misrepresented. Federal law limits your liability to $50 if someone makes unauthorized charges to your account, and most credit card issuers will remove them completely if you report the problem promptly.

Guard your personal information

In any transaction you conduct, make sure to check with your state or local consumer protection agency and the Better Business Bureau (BBB) to see if the seller, charity, company, or organization is credible. Be especially wary if the entity is unfamiliar to you. Always call the number found on a website’s contact information to make sure the number legitimately belongs to the entity you are dealing with.

Be careful of the information you share

Never give out your codes, passwords or personal information, unless you are sure of who you're dealing with

Know who you’re dealing with

Crooks pretending to be from companies you do business with may call or send an email, claiming they need to verify your personal information. Don’t provide your credit card or bank account number unless you are actually paying for something and know who you are sending payment to. Your social security number should not be necessary unless you are applying for credit. Be especially suspicious if someone claiming to be from a company with whom you have an account asks for information that the business already has.

Check your accounts

Regularly check your account transactions and report any suspicious or unauthorised transactions.

Don’t believe promises of easy money

If someone claims that you can earn money with little or no work, get a loan or credit card even if you have bad credit, or make money on an investment with little or no risk, it’s probably a scam. Oftentimes, offers that seem too good to be true, actually are too good to be true.

Do not open email from people you don’t know

If you are unsure whether an email you received is legitimate, try contacting the sender directly via other means. Do not click on any links in an email unless you are sure it is safe.

Think before you click

If an email or text message looks suspicious, don’t open any attachments or click on the links.

Verify urgent requests or unsolicited emails, messages or phone calls before you respond

If you receive a message or a phone call asking for immediate action and don't know the sender, it could be a phishing message.

Be careful with links and new website addresses

Malicious website addresses may appear almost identical to legitimate sites. Scammers often use a slight variation in spelling or logo to lure you. Malicious links can also come from friends whose email has unknowingly been compromised, so be careful.

Secure your personal information

Before providing any personal information, such as your date of birth, Social Security number, account numbers, and passwords, be sure the website is secure.

Stay informed on the latest cyber threats

Keep yourself up to date on current scams by visiting this website daily.

Use Strong Passwords

Strong passwords are critical to online security.

Keep your software up to date and maintain preventative software programs

Keep all of your software applications up to date on your computers and mobile devices. Install software that provides antivirus, firewall, and email filter services.

Update the operating systems on your electronic devices

Make sure your operating systems (OSs) and applications are up to date on all of your electronic devices. Older and unpatched versions of OSs and software are the target of many hacks. Read the CISA security tip on Understanding Patches and Software Updates for more information.

What if You Got Scammed?

Stop Contact With The Scammer

Hang up the phone. Do not reply to emails, messages, or letters that the scammer sends. Do not make any more payments to the scammer. Beware of additional scammers who may contact you claiming they can help you get your lost money back.

Secure Your Finances

  • Report potentially compromised bank account, credit or debit card information to your financial institution(s) immediately. They may be able to cancel or reverse fraudulent transactions.
  • Notify the three major credit bureaus. They can add a fraud alert to warn potential credit grantors that you may be a victim of identity theft. You may also want to consider placing a free security freeze on your credit report. Doing so prevents lenders and others from accessing your credit report entirely, which will prevent them from extending credit:

Check Your Computer

If your computer was accessed or otherwise affected by a scam, check to make sure that your anti-virus is up-to-date and running and that your system is free of malware and keylogging software. You may also need to seek the help of a computer repair company. Consider utilizing the Better Business Bureau’s website to find a reputable company.

Change Your Account Passwords

Update your bank, credit card, social media, and email account passwords to try to limit further unauthorized access. Make sure to choose strong passwords when changing account passwords.

Report The Scam

Reporting helps protect others. While agencies can’t always track down perpetrators of crimes against scammers, they can utilize the information gathered to record patterns of abuse which may lead to action being taken against a company or industry.

Report your issue to the following agencies based on the nature of the scam:

  • Local Law Enforcement: Consumers are encouraged to report scams to their local police department or sheriff’s office, especially if you lost money or property or had your identity compromised.
  • Federal Trade Commission: Contact the Federal Trade Commission (FTC) at 1-877-FTC-HELP (1-877-382-4357) or use the Online Complaint Assistant to report various types of fraud, including counterfeit checks, lottery or sweepstakes scams, and more.
  • Identitytheft.gov: If someone is using your personal information, like your Social Security, credit card, or bank account number, to open new accounts, make purchases, or get a tax refund, report it at www.identitytheft.gov. This federal government site will also help you create your Identity Theft Report and a personal recovery plan based on your situation. Questions can be directed to 877-ID THEFT.

How To Recognize a Phishing Scam

Scammers use email or text messages to try to steal your passwords, account numbers, or Social Security numbers. If they get that information, they could get access to your email, bank, or other accounts. Or they could sell your information to other scammers. Scammers launch thousands of phishing attacks like these every day — and they’re often successful.

Scammers often update their tactics to keep up with the latest news or trends, but here are some common tactics used in phishing emails or text messages:

Phishing emails and text messages often tell a story to trick you into clicking on a link or opening an attachment. You might get an unexpected email or text message that looks like it’s from a company you know or trust, like a bank or a credit card or utility company. Or maybe it’s from an online payment website or app. The message could be from a scammer, who might

  • say they’ve noticed some suspicious activity or log-in attempts — they haven’t
  • claim there’s a problem with your account or your payment information — there isn’t
  • say you need to confirm some personal or financial information — you don’t
  • include an invoice you don’t recognize — it’s fake
  • want you to click on a link to make a payment — but the link has malware
  • say you’re eligible to register for a government refund — it’s a scam
  • offer a coupon for free stuff — it’s not real
