Scam Description
I submitted an application for a Quality Control Associate position that was advertised on indeed.com. Approximately one month later I received an email from Debbie Stover, HR Manager at Fulfillment Centr that included a BBB icon with a A+ rating to view information about their company. When I clicked on the icon the company information read as follows: *********** ******* ***** **** * **** ***** ********* ** ****** It shows that the company has an A+ rating and has been in business for 38 years. The company appeared to be legitimate. I replied back to Debbie Stover informing her I was interested in the position. She replied back informing me that my Quality Control Associate application has been approved. The letter had an attached Job Offer Letter and Payroll Delivery Form. To accept the offer I needed to print out, sign and date my Job Offer Letter. Also, I needed to complete my Payroll Delivery Form, where I had the ability to choose my payroll delivery method. A photo ID was also required to confirm my identity. I was to be paid $40.00, for ea. package processed. The letter stated I would be receiving 135 packages per month. During my probationary period I would be receiving less than the average number of packages. The company sent me an email with a link that included a Control Panel to work from for processing the packages and for sending and receiving emails to and from my supervisor, Jenny. In one month I received two packages. I processed both of them. Payment date was 9/2/2022. I did not receive a paycheck. I emailed my supervisor, Jenny, twice and did not receive a reply. I emailed Debbie Stover, HR Manager, and did not receive a reply. I clicked on the BBB icon again that was included in Debbie’s letter and noticed the company website had a different website address, www.fulfillmentcentr.com, than they had. However, when I called the company telephone number that is listed in the information on the BBB website no one answers the telephone. Fortunately, for my payroll delivery method I chose my P O Box to receive my paycheck rather than my Bank Routing and Account number for Direct Deposit. Unfortunately, I gave them a photo ID of my driver’s license to confirm my identity.
