I communicated with Garrett Moore via email for two weeks about a possible job opportunity. The more we communicated the more uncomfortable I was about the situation. I was referred to Mr. Moore via a LinkedIn job application that I completed for Tweit, Inc./ Jennifer Thompson.

I didn’t receive a certified which I have not touched nor opened.

Sent email offering job I did not apply for

- Miami, FL, USA • Mar 13, 2024

I saw a job offer on Linkedin for a remote position at a company called "Debt Solutions Today". Interview was extremely unprofessional and used a tactic of building himself up to make the job offer look good. Went on extreme tangents about his personal life, sex life, and became provocative about his sexual health. All of which have nothing to do with the job position. He kept the call going for 3 hours and shared all of his personal life and bragged along with said quote "I couldn't believe when my other employee said I needed to hire someone that I'm connected with and basically in a relationship with besides the sex". He also tried to give me dating advice about how men are horrible but he is a "good man". He also said the company is worth multimillions and lied about his number of employees. After this he tried to set up another interview in his office, but then casually mentions he is not available until the evening.. when the office is technically closed. I declined because of safety reasons and offered an alternative of meeting during his lunch break or in a public coffee shop or restaurant and his demeanor instantly changed and he retracted the job offer.

I was offered a job on WhatsApp to do data and they set me

Up through their site. First 3 days it was small amounts I put in and was able to withdraw but on day 4 much more was needed to continue and once they needed me to put 8000 more in is when I decided enough was enough. Looking online I realized I was being scammed.
