October 28, 2016 Dear Public, If you receive any type of job-offer email from HARVEY BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION LLC, please know that it is a very nasty scam, one targeting college students (and others, but mostly college students) nationwide via email. These criminals also are on craigslist posting their phony job offer. Please do not accept their "job-offer" or deposit the counterfeit, $1,950.00 (approximate) check that they will priority-mail you if you do accept their offer to "work" for them for $300 or $350 per week (the amount varies). Before your bank has the chance to process the check (which will take about four days) and realizes that the account number does not exist, the scammers will ask you to immediately wire about $1,500.00 or $1,600.00 to them for "one of our suppliers." You will be "allowed" to keep the remaining funds as your first-week salary. In the "employment process," the scammers also may ask you for your bank account number so that they can expedite payment to you. Please don't EVER give out Social Security #s, driver's license numbers or bank account numbers to anyone, unless you have met them and trust them. Legitimate employers will request personal information from new hires, as they need it for W-9s and W-2s, but these employers should be people who have a physical presence (a building) that you have visited for a person-to-person interview, in addition to a solid community reputation. Regarding the job-offer scam, if you comply with the scammers' demand for money, you will lose the funds you wire them, and all you will have is a worthless check. Please ignore these and any future HARVEY BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION LLC emails and ask your friends to do the same. HARVEY BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION LLC is a legitimate company based in Richmond, Indiana, but it is simply a name that these criminals liked for some reason. That is the only reason that we can figure regarding why they are using the name in their scam emails. Of course, it would be no surprise if the scammers were using other company names to propagate this same, or a similar, scam. For that reason, please don't ever wire strangers money, no matter what the circumstance. Don't ever give out personal information online unless you are 100% certain of the integrity of the party to whom you're giving it. Even be cautious about wiring money to people you know, unless you've spoken to them by phone or in person about their need for funds. Hackers are breaking into people's email accounts and sending "Emergency... please wire me some money" emails to entire contact lists, which may include your email address. College students, please alert your college's IT department about the HARVEY BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION LLC scam so that they can block these emails from coming through to students. Have them warn students about similar scams, especially those that offer easy employment (relatively good pay for reasonable, flexible hours). Feel free to forward this email to your college's IT department and to your other friends at school. Thanks for helping us spread the word about this scam. It has been in operation more than a year and has robbed thousands of students of millions of dollars cumulatively. National, state and city law enforcement are aware of this scam and are working to catch the perpetrators. Anyone who is sending out these emails, please know that you may not be printing the counterfeit checks, but you are a party to criminal activity. For your own sake, please stop what you are doing.
June 16, 2017 Dear Public (especially college students): Scammers pretending to be HARVEY BROTHERS CONSTRUCTION and luring college students nationwide to accept phony job offers continue to contact students directly through email and texting. They are now perpetrating their scam through Handshake.com, a well-respected job-location source for students. Cumulatively, these criminals already have defrauded thousands of students of millions of dollars. They also are registering domain names similar to HarveyBrothersConstruction.com so that they can obtain email accounts under those domains. You will see slight misspellings in the Sender domain name (Thomas@harveybrotherconstructions.com, for example -- note the missing "s" after "brother" and the superfluous "s" after "construction"). Students, please report these scam job-offer solicitations to your school's IT department to protect your fellow students. Many thanks.
The Harvey Brothers Construction "job offer to college students" scammers are gearing up for a new school year. They're even registering domains similar to Harvey Brothers so that they can send out emails that look authentic. Please alert any college students you know about ANY type of job offers that come to them by email or phone. Most are scams. Moreover, students, please alert your IT department. Ask the IT folks to send out a Scam Alert now that Fall Semester 2017 is about to begin at universities and colleges across the country. Students are studying hard, and they understandably need money. That is what these scammers are banking on. Please help protect our college students in any way possible. They are our best and brightest, and they don't deserve to be defrauded in this way.
