Business ProfileforBiotech Group Inc.

On October 20, 2022, BBB completed an investigation into this business.  The investigation determined:
BBB has received complaints from consumers alleging they applied and accepted a job from Biotech Group who late provided them with bad checks. Consumers shared with BBB that after going through the interview process and accepting Biotech’s job offer, they were informed to deposit a check into their bank accounts in order to purchase materials and supplies needed for the job. Consumers subsequently learned from their bank that the check was not valid due to the check bouncing. Some consumers shared their accounts were frozen for possible fraud.

On October 11, 2022, BBB reached out to Biotech Group to gather more information on the company and to obtain a response to consumer’s complaints about fake and bounced checks.     As of October 20,2022, BBB has not received a response from the business. 

BBB reviewed the company’s corporate registration and discovered that the filing for Biotech Group Inc is not currently active. Biotech Group’s corporate registration became inactive in September of 2015.

BBB Tips:

Research job offers first and get all details and contracts in writing: Visit a company’s website and look up their contact information. Verify the company exists and the job posting is real before you interact with a stranger. Do an internet search with the company’s name and the word “scam” to see if anyone has reported a fake job offer. Look on BBB.org to see any unresolved complaints or negative reviews

Government agencies post all jobs publicly and freely.

Never deposit unexpected checks and beware of jobs that involve receiving and returning money:
Legitimate companies don’t generally send money to new employees before work is done. They
certainly don’t ask you to return funds that you’ve already been paid.

Be careful with your personal information: Never provide anyone with your personal information until you are sure you can trust them with it. Do all the necessary research before divulging anything personal. Never let someone pressure you into giving up your personal information because it’s a “now or never” offer.

Watch out for easy hires: If a company claims they want to hire you without meeting you either virtually or in-person, and if they don’t conduct a job interview, you’re probably dealing with a scammer.
