Scam Description
Scammer goes by the name of Zach Hallam. He states he runs a non profit called Nationwide Fire and Rescue. He “hired” me on to his business, but proceeded to have me work for weeks without pay. He went to numerous businesses while I was “employed” through his business and “purchased” items using a Net30 account. He never paid the businesses for the outstanding Net30 accounts or my paychecks; therefore, once his name and this business started being plastered around town on business signs for fraud, I knew he had not paid his bills. I didn’t want to be associated with a fraudulent business, so I resigned. Unfortunately I do not ever expect to see the THOUSANDS of dollars he owes me in paychecks, but I do hope this does not happen to anyone else, businesses or individuals.
