Scam Description
I was contacted via text message from Justin Baldwin, regarding my resume and offered an on-line interview on Wednesday. I was provided the name of the company (Doval, Inc), job openings, and pay range (bi-weekly of $1020-$1360); and if I was interested. I replied, interested if work from home. I was told the job briefing and interview would be handled via Skype and asked if I had an account. I said yes and asked for my name and that I will receive a message from Mr. Benjamin Sutter. From that point, the conversation was as previously reported, $37.65 p/hr. and $23.00 p/hr. during training. I never received the acceptance letter as promised, until 2 days later. It required my signature and picture of driver’s license and I was to receive a check to purchase my equipment. Nothing felt comfortable about this although I had look-up the company on the internet and it seemed legit, the letterhead, interview, etc., raised RED Flags in my mind and I decided to check the BBB.
