Scam Description
Germon Investments LLC has a website that appears to be for a software-as-a-service company with years of experience, yet the company is only known to have one manager named Filho Geraldo B Monteiro, and no staff, including Monteiro, can be found on any social media platform. I was contacted by Ganesh Dalvi who provided the following link to a job description which is oddly enough the only publicly available job description for the company: https://germoninvestmentsllc.com/hr/Position_Description.pdf. Note that the URL is generalized to hr/Position_Description even though the position described in the link is for a Jr Service Assistant.
Another indicator at potential fraud is this comment posted by Kaz M. on www.bizapedia.com for Germon Investments LLC:
“Scam. Joining this company they will ask you to receive ACH funds to your account. With those funds, you will buy bitcoin for their customers. Within 30 days your account will be flagged as fraud and closed due to the transactions being used with stolen funds. You will then be responsible for the funds and this company will disappear and not respond to you for help. They are not a legit company. Please do not join.”
