I did my own research on Bitcoin, and that seemed ok. I still hadn't heard anything from the person that was supposedly my “manager”, "Jessica Carter" and I was getting worried. She only wanted to be contacted by email and Yahoo messenger, because she also had “other candidates” that she was working with. So, when I finally hear from her, she asks if it’s “ok for them to call me?” and I naturally said yes. I get a call from one the "HR managers" whose English was second rate at best, I could hardly understand what he was saying, and the line had static, but my worries were alleviated, which I fear now is what they wanted. ‘To build your confidence, they keep in contact with you, so you don't lose hope. "Con man"- the Confidence man/builder.’
They sent me $1,498.27 the next day to my bank account using the Zelle system, which does not require you to give out your account info., just your name, email address and who you bank with. So, I didn’t give them any sensitive info. They gave me this money to setup this Bitcoin account. They didn’t need me to withdraw the whole thing, only $1,400.00. She said that I could use $30 for a “cab”. I told her that I didn’t need a cab, but that I drive. She said fine and that I could use the money for gas.
They had already set a Bitcoin account in my name, but never was able to get to a Bitcoin machine, because I couldn't withdraw the full amount as they requested, of $1,400.00. My bank only allowed me to withdrawal a certain amount a day and I told her that, but they needed it done now so I could start "my training". So, the manager suggested that I go to a "Money Gram" office and send the money to one of their "Money Gram agents" and they would put the money in the Bitcoin account and setup the account to be used for the business. $1,400 +$35 fee for sending the wire. I did that, and the person that they first gave me to send the money to wasn’t in the country, so I cancelled it through Money Gram, got a new reference #, and the “manager”, Jessica Carter, gave me a different person to send the money to, but it was in the same location, but a different city in "Moldova". She asked me to send her a screen shot of the receipts as confirmation that I sent the money through Money Gram. I did that, she said that she got everything and that it looked good.
In the meantime, while I was waiting, they gave me what I call now "busy work". She asked me to edit some letters that they had into “good English”. These were the same letters that they sent to me during the course of the process by email welcoming me to the company. So, I did that. She said that they were “perfect”.
Time goes by, I hadn't heard from them for a whole week and then when I go to call or send an IM on Yahoo, I'd get no reply. I went to their website, the website was shut down, and the phone numbers were dead. I called the BBB, the office in California and they said that they couldn't do anything for me, because there was no way to track the company, because the number that I gave her was not located in Los Angles, California, but somewhere else. The address that I gave her was to a virtual office that also could not be traced. The ScamPulse.com agent did a search on the company name nothing came up for her, but when I do a search on the company on my end, all kinds of things come up, so at that point I didn't know what to do. The ScamPulse.com agent in California said that I had to get in contact with my bank because chances are now, I would have to pay that money back that I had withdrew from account because it was part of a “Job Scam”. I didn’t know that all of this could happen in such a short amount of time, but it can. You can be screwed in just one day messing with the wrong people.
I called my bank, told them everything that happened. They said because the money was sent through “Zelle” and that it was withdrawn, chances are it came from some other victims account and sent to me, so they’d have to notify the bank that it came from and the money would have to be refunded/returned. Eventually making my account go negative, which means I’d have to pay my bank back for that. It hasn’t happened yet. But in the meant time all of my accounts are frozen/closed and now our tax money is in there and we can’t touch it. Which I think is unfair. I didn’t know what I was getting into, or what was being done to me, but I still have to pay. I can no longer have an account with that bank anymore. The only thing that I could get will be a credit card account, if that. Anything that goes into that account will be used to pay off the future negative balance.
I even called Money Gram, they said that the money was already received, so it couldn’t be cancelled, but that they would do an investigation on the matter and find out where the money went. I need everyone to know about this company. If you see the name go in the opposite direction. They still have their page up on careerbuilder.com too.
