Scam Description
I was emailed November 1 2023 from someone named Helen from their HR department (helen.smth@usshipping.world) asking did i receive the message of the job being a inspection specialist 9-6 Monday- Friday , average monthly income 4,700 , $90 daily & $50-$100 bonuses packages done correctly and on time but you had to work your first 30 days before you get paid , im thinking they are like that cause maybe they had high rollover time because the pay . I responded and accepted the job . They had warehouse , address , HR numbers , the contract looked real so I didn’t think nothing of it because eveything looked to be REAL. They told be about the job offered me a position and sent me the contract. I signed it and waited to hear back from the manger Alfie Gunn , they got all my information ” ran my background check ” . Eveything went through they then sent me my dashboard and training to get started and all their contact information 2 supervisors ( David sanders & silvest knight ) and a manger ( Alfie Gunn ) and told me to watch over the videos as they with be my training guide to do the job . I received my first package November 17th 2023 and received a payment date of December 18, 2023 ( my 30 day period for first payment ) from that point on everyday I was receiving packages , inspecting them making sure it was the right product and dropping them back off at the ups or fedex office that same day to receive my $50 bonus for each package sent back out within the 24 hour time frame it was received . I was spending my own money to go back and forth and to pay for boxes & print labels as they said in the contract and told me on the phone I would be reimbursed for all transactions and send them my receipts which I did . In total I received and sent off 25 packages and spent $200 plus sending off those packages , they all were sent off on time so I should’ve received $50 for each package plus my $90 daily . The last week before I was to get paid that whole week they haven’t called or sent me a package , nothing appeared on my dashboard but what was already there and done ( I’m thinking because it close to my pay period and it’s going to start all over again and it a certain amount of packages I’m supposed to ship out each period ) the mangers and supervisors stop calling and wasn’t returning NONE of my calls, text or emails . So come today Monday December 18 2023 when I’m supposed to receive my payment for the 30 plus days I worked , I log on my dashboard I see I have 2 packages a tool kit and a Apple iPad 10th through fedex I was supposed to receive the 22 & 23 of December, so I called each one of them ( manger & supervisors ) several times and one by one line each line became disconnected , then I tired to log back into my dashboard and it said I had an “invalid username and password” . So they blocked me and locked me out . They won’t return a call or email from me anymore . So I worked 30 plus days FOR FREE AROUND CHRISTMAS time just trying to make money and have a good Christmas for my child and this is what I got . I hope they hurry up and find these people this was sooooo wrong and I hope & pray no one else falls for this .
