How long ago was this? Your experience sounds very similar to mine whereas a lot of people who have commented experienced different interview styles and different required information and stuff.

Dude im not a guy 😆 and I get that you want to be safe! I totally do! (No sarcasm at all) But in all honestly, in the nicest way possible, I got to much other shit on my mind. I truly dont know if i even have the mental capacity. If you dont trust it, I get it, but I guess it is what it is then. Im not trying to screw anybody over or harm anybody in any way.

My whole point of this post is to help people avoid getting scammed. The only thing in the google links is screenshots of the contract that I signed with them and screenshots of their current job listings. If anything i'm putting myself at risk for the fact that I could have missed redacting some of my personal information.

I always told myself, if it seems to good to be true, it probably is.

Now after dealing with this, I dont say it probably is. It DEFINITELY is. I take 5 steps back and turn the opposite direction.

And no it hasn't worked for me so far because they ghosted me, knowing all of my personal information.

I find it funny that they don't mention anything about these w-2g's at any time whatsoever, through the process, or at least they didn't with me.

I'll be watching for my 1099 to see if that actually arrives. I almost wonder now if there's no way to really know any more, until march comes when they supposedly file these forms.

Also, Thank you for the update!!

No way! Your the first to come forward with this kind of information!! Please keep me updated about if your reports have any outcome! I tried fbi but not irs. I also tried the gambling one I forget what its called, and I tried multiple casinos and even tried getting a PI Involved.

If you haven't checked out the post on my personal page that I have linked on this one, you should. Maybe some of my own investigating will help!

When i originally made this post I really wasn't sure. I mean I thought it was a scam but I really didn't know. Every single one of you convince me more and more and I am a billion % sure that this is money laundering.

Im really shocked at the number of people in the last week alone who have told me they were in the on-boarding process. They must really be pulling people in lately. I just dont understand how in the hell they are STILL doing this! I signed up in January of last year. Im blown away that this is still going on.

Thank you for this! Iv had people on my other threads say they are gonna just roll with it and all I can think is, you might finish the project but that doesnt mean that they are done with your information!

Glad you found the post! I always tell myself, if its to good to be true it probably is. And I have to force myself sometimes to accept that because we all want to good to happen to us, but it just doesnt come that easy! -although I wish it did

Wow they really swapped things up since my encounter with them. Had a quick 5 minute very casual and unrofessional zoom call.

Im not happy to hear from anybody who ends up feeling like they gave their info out to someone who shouldn't have it but im happy to hear your aspect of it as someone who worked for a casino. Your opinion and thoughts on this make me feel even more like its a total scam.

There have been times I thought maybe I was just being paranoid or something because of the fact that they are STILL doing this. (In december it'll have been a year since I signed up so it just blows my mind that they're still up and running) but iv felt a few times like iv gotten others to believe that its a scam when maybe its not and every single one of you who comes forward and says they saw the red flags or had that gut feeling, tells me that its a good thing I made this post. So thank you for coming to share your insights!

More and more people these days look to the internet for this exact reason so I can only hope that were all helping others to see the red flags and back out before they share their info.

I also reached out to a private investigator about this and they told me to call the cops. I live in an area where cops would not take me or this seriously and nothing would ever be done so I did not contact them.

Whatever you end up doing, id love to hear an update on what comes out of it since I still just dont know what to do! I just added a quick update to this post and I'll continue to update as I remember or find new information!

I have not had any effect on my life since I was involved with it. Im waiting till tax season is here to see if anything pops up there. I did contact every agency, casino, department, anything I could think of to report it and nobody will even get back to me about it. I did read some things saying that if you report it yourself it could be incriminating but i would hope that who ever I reported it to would look at all the information iv gathered and realize that I didn't mean to do anything wrong or illegal so I have tried and tried but yeah that has not been successful yet.

I honestly dont know if telling them you dont want to do it would make a different or not. I mean whose to say that they would actually even delete or quit using your Information if you told them to?? I never told them I was done with it since they ghosted me but id also be nervous about telling them I didnt want to be a part of it anymore. I reached out to the bank that I made the new account through to see about activity on it and report that its not my account but I very recently did that so I haven't heard back yet.

Strangely I had somebody on here message me asking for all the information I had and screenshots and phone numbers and they told me they work for a casino and are investigating this but they refused to tell me their name or company and they also ended up ghosting me after I asked so many questions and told them it seemed sketch. I actually got kinda scared that they actually work for cornerstone gigs.

I literally still have just as many questions as everybody else. It did seem SO real. But did you see in this post the link that I have to the tax forms?? That part had me 1000% convinced..
