Scam Description
I was contracted by a person identifying herself as ” Elizabeth Alyea” of Vertrauen Group. I was offered a position working out of my home as a quality control/package inspector, as a monthly rate of 3200 per month.
As I have been out of work for over 8 months, I accepted their offer, and was then shipped 4 packages to be opened, inspected, and then shipped via fedex to a Larry Hudak”. I worked for this company for approximately 30 days, and was then told that I would be paid 3200 in my bank account via direct deposit on 1/20/24( this past Saturday. Of course there were no funds deposited, and I then tried to contact Elizabeth to clarify the problem, and of course have not received a response. I realize now I have been scammed, and want to prevent anyone else for falling for this scam, and counting on funds which will never be received. I paid for the shipping via fedex of 4 packages. Please help to shut this fraudster down.
