Scam Description
I was applying to many jobs and posting my resume on well known job sites at the time that I received an email from a job recruiter named Robert Correira, which did not seem odd to me as I have been posting my resume. He then forwarded me to speaking with Martina Axelsson. They told me they were a freight company in Scotland looking for employees to be shipping insurance agents for items that were supposedly being shipped using their services. I checked their website, wantlogistics.com, looked up the various employees on LinkedIn, and asked what were in the packages and she assured me it was nothing illegal, no weapons, no drugs. She sent over an employment contract and told me not to include my social security in the documents, which I did not give. Everything seemed valid to me. I began getting suspicious when my paycheck didn’t arrive on the promised date, and then I began looking up if companies can get away with not paying you if they are from another country, this lead me to find information that has lead me to believe I have been scammed and tricked into helping the worst people. The phone number she used to call me is from Pennsylvania, so they are American scam artists. I have reported them to the FTC, the BBB, and have an appointment at my police station to report this further. Scammers use stolen credit card information to buy expensive items and trick people into reshipping them so that they erase any evidence. I was a victim of employment fraud.
