Scam Description
They called to offer me a job saying they had seen my resume online and “felt I would be a good fit”. They called the job a checking specialist and there was a contract of employment. Everything went fine I took pictures of the packages, posted them into a portal, and received another shipping label to send the packages on further so I took them and put the shipping receipt into the portal as directed. I was to get $3200 a month with $40 bonus for packages received, $60 for packages I had to go pickup, $750 for the first 5 packages if they were handled without error. I had to wait a full 30 days for payment and then it never came and the managers no longer answer my calls. I was also approached by another person who reported being from the same company who offered to have me also act as a purchasing agent. No contract with this one but they paid $780 of my Credit Card bill and asked me to use it until they could get me a business credit card. So, then I purchased items on a list to ship to customers. The 1st was $591, the payment on that went through the bank so I then purchased another item for $1938. When I pulled the money from the bank to pay that one it went fine to start with, so I then purchased another item for $3232. But after I made that purchase the other payments were returned and my balance on my credit card is suddenly hitting toward the max. And then I do not get the payments as I was told I would they said they were sending checks that would be in 24-48 hours but those never came either.
