On October 3, 2023 the victim, Saundra Panagaris, was contacted by one Randy Castillo presenting himself as a representative of Peritus International. He sent a document for the job acceptance form to be signed and returned. He sent a check of $7750 by UPS for supplies to be worked on by their other vendors. Over the course of the week, he requested the purchases of the following:

Macbook - $1510.92

iPhone - $1186.92

Shipping - $411.52 (168.66+88.35+154.51)

Money sent - $6064.42

Total losses - $9173.78

After purchasing the Macbook, Ms Panagaris was asked to send the remaining funds from the $7750 check - $6064.42 by cash to one of his vendors. Ms Panagaris sent the funds by money order via FedEx. Afterwards, the $7750 was reversed from her bank account. Then a check for $9950 arrived by UPS, which Huntington Bank put a hold on. Another check arrived for $18500 (all from First Freedom Bank) but these were all fraudulent checks, resulting in Huntington opting to close out Ms Panagaris' bank account. Ms Panagaris filed a police report Oct. 14, 2023 with the North Ridgeville Police Department case#: 2023-17163

Peritus International has a website and LinkedIn account, however, when calling the numbers on the website it always goes to voicemail and doesn't mention the name of the company either. The promote themselves on various job search websites including Indeed.
