Scam Description
I held back on turning in the employment agreement due to a few red flags. The phone interviewer was 50 minutes late; her questions were not what you’d expect on an initial interview—she didn’t even know where I was currently employed or my job history. She also had a very thick west Asian accent. After a 5-minute call, I was told I passed the phone screening and could consider myself employed once I returned the contract with a selfie and a copy of my driver’s license. The employment contract required 30 days of training, with pay coming only after the 30 days. That’s 30 days for a clerk’s job, which is completely unreasonable and nearly unheard of. Then there is the commission on billings? Also strange. The company has only been incorporated for a year so I looked them up on the BBB and found this first complaint from last week, almost exactly what I experienced down to the pay. Fortunately, I haven’t sent the paperwork back, and won’t, until I can verify their USDOT. Shipping companies cannot do business between states in the US without that number. This company says it does. Where is the number?
I decided to do a little more due diligence. The company is an interstate logistics and transportation firm, but there is no record of it with the Department of Transportation. The D&B for it is out of the UAE. Just in case, I emailed Isabel back and told her I just needed to verify her USDOT registration before completing the onboarding. Crickets.
