I found out that this company is a scam after I spoke with my friend who is a crime analyst in South Florida and she mentioned that she had heard of something similar and told me to be careful. I had already done some digging but then i started to include the job title with the company name and found a reddit from 2022 that basically said the same thing as the email i received for an offer: https://www.reddit.com/user/missannoyed22/comments/zf74t7/kobelt_tech_systems_em...⇄ />
I have been looking for a job for a few weeks now, and received an email regarding a Canadian company moving to Orlando, FL and they were in need of an office manager. I have had a few companies that I have not applied for reach out after viewing my resume on various sites, so I noticed the pay and it was local, so decided to take the initial interview. Here is the email:

"Derrick" called me on Wednesday and we did about a 10 min interview, where he stated that they had narrowed it down to myself and another candidate. They were in a hurry to fill the position, since the office was opening on Oct 14th. The next morning i received this email as well as a text congratulating me on receiving the job.

I wrote back accepting the job with only questions and my address - so they did not get anything else from me...

Hi Derrick,

Thank you so much for the offer! I am very excited to be part of the team! I am local, so if there is anything you need me to assist with setting up the offices, please let me know.

Here is my information:

Lisa Mack

Orlando, FL 32804

I wanted to include some of my questions ahead of time for our call tomorrow:

Address of the new office?

Since the office is downtown Orlando, will parking be paid? Or will the office have parking (free) ?

Will there be any opportunity for remote day(s), (no issue if not.. just noticed you mentioned remote above)

"Vacation time is paid in 3-week increments" - can you explain this further? How many total vacation days per year? What if any holidays will be paid for?

I have a few dates that I have commitments currently off. Hopefully these will not be an issue: November 19th, December 13th, December 30th-January 2.

Will benefits begin on my first day or is there a waiting period?

You mentioned bi-weekly paychecks, will I receive my first paycheck before the end of October (just confirming)?

I look forward to receiving the employee package and understanding the details of my position and how I can help the team!

Answered job ad on Indeed. Was asked to pursue interview on an app called Signal. Once it became clear that they were asking for banking/personal information, I saw it as a red flag.

I applied for a job on indeed. Saw his job post for a front desk receptionist. I applied. A few days later I get a email that my application was approved for interview to contact *** *** for further instructions. I emailed him, few days later he responded stating that the receptionist position has been filled but he has a personal assistant job opened. If I was interested resend my name address email number to him. So I did so. An he said in a couple weeks once he’s back in town he’ll set up a face to face interview an get all paperwork done. After couple days he emailed me letting me know that he needed me to purchase some supplies an food etc for a foster home that he was gonna send me the funds to do so. I wrote back telling him I don’t feel comfortable sending my banking info to someone I haven’t even met. I never got a response back for about 3 days. Then he messaged me on 8/6/2019 letting me know that a check was sent to my house via fedex once I receive it to deposit once I do so to let him know so we can go on with purchasing items for foster home. The check was $4,950.00. For some reason before I deposited it I went ahead and looked up his name only to find that he was involved in the Azscam an that he was convicted years ago. But obviously didn’t learn his lesson because he’s back on it. I was only looking for a job did not know I would get scammed. Now his texting my cell phone. He has my address an all. So I feel very uncomfortable.
