I was contacted initially by an individual claiming to be Megan Fisher on September, 28 2018.

Ms. Fisher indicated that their company had a position to fill as a Supply Chain Manager and if I was interested to respond with resume.

I am currently looking for employment and therefore assumed they had gotten my information from one of the various employment companies I have been working through (ie. Career Builder or Monster).

After sending back my interest I was contacted and invited to submit an employment form on their website.

The next day after submitting the form, October 2, I was contacted and told my qualifications looked good and that my information would be sent for a US federal background check.

The day after this I was told I had passed this check and they wanted to do an over the phone interview.

I didn’t consider this out of character as the position was to be fully remote.

The phone interview was conducted on October 4th and call received from the number of 1-716-599-0368.

The individual speaking with me had a thick Asian accent and questions were very rudimentary.

I’ve been exposed to various cultures and so made another assumption that this was just her nature as she seemed very straight forward, almost scripted.

On October 5th I was told that I passed the hiring process and would begin a contractual probationary period that would last 4 weeks during which I’d be working through training and some basic projects.

They provided me with a temporary employment contract that seemed legitimate to sign and send back via scanned document attachment.

I was also told during this exchange that I’d be contacted by a training manager on October 9.

On October 9 I was emailed by a Gary Matthews, identified as the training manager.

He provided a very basic training document with questions that seemed a bit too easy given the nature of the position I would be holding, but I again assumed it was just their training procedure.

I returned the training packet on October 10 and was immediately given another packet of training material. Again very simplistic in nature to the position.

At this point I was beginning to question things, but carried on and completed and returned that packet on October 12th.

On October 15 Mr. Matthews responded with the 3rd training packet and also indicated that the senior project manager would be reaching out the next day.

After reviewing the 3rd packet and doing some research, I found that the information they were giving me in these packets was easily available on supply chain and project management training websites, ver batim.

Within an hour of discovering this I was contacted by the project manager, Allen Dawson.

Mr. Dawson explained that the first project they wanted me to work on were the logistics of office equipment procurement of which was to be used as they were opening new offices on the east and west coast. I would be researching, negotiating, and shipping to a warehouse a number of items, including software, iPhones, laptops, etc.

This was to be done using my own credit card that was to be funded by their bank account.

He provided me attachments on how to add a bank account payment to my credit card.

This is when my red flag flew straight up.

Although I had thought I researched their company, after a bit more digging with my flag flying high I found that the company I thought they were affiliated with, they were actually not.

I called Unipac Shipping, located in CA on October 16 to verify this.

They confirmed that they did not have affiliation with Unipac Logistics.

I looked up the company website again and realized the logos, although fairly similar, were in fact different.

This is where I became a full on investigator.

I have not only searched their company with no results at the BBB, I also looked them up through the UK equivalent, Company House with also no luck.

I researched their website showing the domain was listed out of China, UK, and Ukraine and although had no complaints was considered high risk.

I returned a response to Mr. Allen with my concerns and asked a few questions. One of which was to what floor they occupied at the Leadenhall Building.

His response was the 6th floor which I confirmed today with Leadenhall and Aon, the actual occupiers of the 6th floor, was not correct.

I believe these individuals were attempting to use me to purchase a lot of “equipment” to be shipped to a warehouse in NY and then they would block or cancel their requested payment to my credit card.

I’m happy I listened to my gut instead of my growing need for a job taking over my mind.

I hope others are as lucky as I’ll only be out the international call charges during my research.

I have saved all correspondence with these individuals, the training packets, and employment contract if needed.
