Online users beware of the Integrated Computer Solutions scam email(see below), which appears to be from Sharon Turner at notifications@app.bamboohr.com, being sent by scammers. The legitimate Integrated Computer Solutions said they do not have any customer service or data entry positions open and have confirmed the email or post is a scam. The names mentioned in the fake email or post are being used randomly by scammers and the email address spoofed. This means the email was sent from another email account but made to appear to have been sent from bamboohr.com.

How the Scam Works
You will receive an email from someone called Sharon Turner(they may use a different name) stating that you've been selected for the position, and to download the Signal messaging app to contact them for an interview. Then you have an "interview" with the hiring manager, Sharon Turner, via Signal. Immediately after the interview, you're "hired" and given instructions on how to obtain the necessary work-from-home office equipment. It will be purchased through the company's own supplier using funds they provide.
Within a few days, you will receive an official-looking business check in the mail for an exorbitant amount (mine was for $6800). The check has a watermark, perforation along the bottom edge, and everything else seems quite legitimate. However, the payor is not listed as Integrated Computer Solutions, but rather an individual person. Additionally, the check arrives in an envelope with the return address of Gordon AJ with TRC Electronics Inc, not Integrated Computer Solutions. The so-called hiring manager, Sharon Turner, will press you to urgently deposit the check in your personal account and to then send her a photo of the proof of deposit slip. If you deposit the check, it will either be declined, or it will eventually bounce (after the scammers have disappeared with the money you spent on work-from-home supplies through their website).
There are other versions of this scam. All the scammers do is to change the name of the company.
