Hello!

I received a remote job offer from AEON Media Solution and would like assistance in determining if this is legitimate, as I can't find much about them online and the offer letter contains quite a few grammatical mistakes. Would any of you lovely ladies be interested in taking a look and giving me honest feedback? It would be very much appreciated because I keep running into scams and am eager to start earning.

    That is definitely a red flag - what did the interview process consist of?

    Also, have you double checked the email address?

  2. Jennifer Wetterau

    Thank you for your quick reply! The "interview" was answering a series of questions via email. I didn't think much of it because it's just a data entry job and I've been unemployed too long to pass up any opportunity! They do have a website, but the social links do not work: https://aeonmediasolution.com/. What is a polite way to check that this isn't a scam without being offensive to the offer?

  3. Janelle Rasmussen

    I found this, don't know what it means, exactly, but might be helpful?

    How did you originally hear about the position?

  4. Jennifer Wetterau

    Thank you for the resource! I found the posting in a WFH Facebook group. Despite over 20 years of professional experience, I'm finding it impossible to secure an interview with a legitimate company.

    You are not alone. I’ve been unemployed for a year with 30 years of experience and a college degree. I was scammed a few months ago. As others have stated, not speaking with anyone and going through the interview process via email is definitely a scam. Best of luck in 2025.

    Try Rat Race Rebellion. There are a lot of ads made to look like legit postings but if you are careful you can find legit WFH on there.

    With FB ads, most of the scams have comments turned off. That’s always a clue.

    Good luck with your search.

    Thank you!

    So that you have never spoken with anyone is a gigantic red flag for me. That is not how the interview process works at any legitimate company I have ever worked at or had as a client when I was on the agency side. My guess is this would be a scam - considering the errors in the "offer letter", not speaking with anyone and their limited web presence.

    Sorry but I'd say this should probably be a pass.

    How extensive were your interviews? This seems very off!

  10. Antonia Calzetti

    If you didn't interview with them, I'd say this is a red flag. Did you legit interview with them?

  11. Jennifer Wetterau

    It was a written interview for a data entry job. I haven't held that type of position before so I thought that might be how they expedite hiring for quick turnaround. I was naive.

    My husband got a scam job offer - if he had been more diligent about keeping track of his communications with people (not saying you aren't) he might have realized that he had never actually spoken with a person. If you can find any contact info for the company online call them directly. That is how we uncovered the scam, unfortunately not before we lost $1,000.

  13. Jennifer Wetterau

    That's awful! Thank you for sharing your experience.

  14. Evelyn Livant

    I received a ton of scams that all followed this pattern:

    1. Receive an email following up and asking if I were interested OR telling me I was shortlisted and asking if I were still interested
    2. After I replied yes, they’d send me an email with an “interview” attached which consisted of writing answers to questions
    3. An email telling me I was hired. Then they said they’d send me a check to deposit in my bank account and buy supplies for work.

    I started reporting them, but that became a full-time job.

  15. Jennifer Wetterau

    I've run into a few of those too. Such a waste of time and energy getting hopes up that they turn out to be legit.

  16. Maggie Soldano

    Go with your gut. If you're worried it's fake, it's likely fake.

  17. Krystin Morgan

    Most likely, anything with several grammatical errors is a scam. :(

  18. misskelleyp

    Did you apply and interview for the job? Did you meet any of the managers or your potential coworkers? If not it's definitely a scam. If it arrived unsolicited, it's a scam. I find these types of scams despicable, preying as they do on folks who just want and need a job. Good luck. If nothing else, try a google search for this company's headquarters and give them a call.

    Go with your gut. I get text messages all the time from ADECCO with remote work. They are legit but texting me? I already know my email and phone number are on the dark web. Everything seems so sus these days.

    If you are on a mac look at the long headers that are where the email is sent from. Look for it to come from the company URL - i.e. whatever is on their company website. - for example - aeon.com

    To view the full email headers on a Windows computer, open the email, then go to "File" > "Properties" - the "Internet headers" section will display the complete email header information, which can be quite lengthy depending on the email details.

    If none of these rules exist block the sender and ask them to remove you from their mailings. Never send your social security number if you are in the US from a place where you have not met anyone. It could be a scam or it could be legitimate. Good luck.

    If you can't find them online or ave a corporate number to call to verify, I would call or look then up on the BBB website. No record of them, then it's a scam.

  22. Nancy Ransom

    It's a scam if there are grammatical errors. If it sounds too good to be true it is.

    Their website, https://aeonmediasolution.com/, is 2 months old. Given that this would likely be called "Solutions" and Aeon Media Group is a different company (https://aeon.co/), I don't feel confident that this is legit. They list their CEO as "Meggie Wilson", a person whose LinkedIn I couldn't find. This seems like a really in-depth scam?
