Scam Description
I was applying to jobs on Indeed, Monster, and Linkedin. I was emailed about a logistics job that offered a remote role. They sent everything like a REAL JOB would. They made me fill out paperwork, provide a picture of me with my license, and fill out a W4 so it all seemed legit.
They wanted me to recieve random items at my address, but made it seem normal and legit with a ” user dashboard”. This dashboard allowed me to see what packages would be coming my way, upload proof of the item and receipt of sending the item out via UPS. I started “working” for them with a promise of $2,200 base pay and a $40 bonus for every package sent. $100 if I picked up a “VIP package” my bonus was up to $460. My payment date was for 10-15-2023 on 10-16-2023 I was blocked from the dashboard and my payment was not sent. A total of $2,680….I calculated the whole month of gas driving back and forth for these scammers so I want $3,000
I was blocked from the dashboard after realizing this job is a scam and full of cold blooded crooks after putting my so called supervisor Josh Singer on speaker phone at the UPS store. He wanted me to lie to the UPS manager saying the person whose name is on the Playstation 5 was “sick so that’s why I’m picking up the package for them”. He became pissed that I had him on speaker phone lying and I told him I’m not coming back to pick up the package. I realized these items were either bought with stolen credit cards or just stolen items to begin with. Now these assholes have my information…all I was trying to do was work and I got scammed. I want my wages and my gas money back $3,000 in total!!!
