This is me firing back. I haven’t heard from em since either an there’s no need to see check my account I’m a thousand percent sure its deleted ?

Useful

This is them trying to scare me which is hilarious

Useful

I am currently working with pilot shippers now and after reading this idk what to say

Useful

Please i was either received all those mails .

Useful

Same!

I am about to deliver my 4th package today. I started working with this company on March 1st. At the moment everything is going smooth. I will keep you updated if I get a check or have any other suspensions.

Useful

It's been a month. Did you receive your paycheck?

Useful

Anyone reading this post..if you have any of their packages hold them and contact your local police. Have the package traced back to sender so we can determine where these packages are coming from. I am definitely going to trace my packages that were shipped.

Useful

The contact states that each employee will get paid on the last day of each month. So it's still the beginning of the month. Based on everyone's comments, this company only keeps employees for the first few deliveries and then they release them from work. Hopefully, if this a real company, stated by the BBB, I will still be employed by them.

Useful

Until anybody doesn't show real income. This is a scam. Don't send packages with your fingerprints and be part of a crime

Useful

Okay so after weeks of them emailing me, and being a single mom, I caved. Spoke to Jenise on the phone twice. Even her dog went crazy barking so I knew she was a real person. Caller Id said FL. Gone through the same process. Got into my dashboard. Provided my SSN through the dashboard. At this point they’ve now asked 4 separate times for a copy of my drivers license. I’ve inquired the last two days about receiving a shipment since my package tab still says zero. Then tonight, I get an email asking for my bank info and to reply to the email with it. Uhmmmmm. Hello?! This information should be included on the dashboard which appears to be a secured site. I would never send my acct info through a random email. I’m sure it’s too late at this point because they have my ID and SSN. This sucks so bad. I’ve been out of work due to an invasive foot break and surgical repair and I’m trying to cover my rent and basic utilities. Not sure what they plan to do with stealing my ID but I have everything documented. To those of us under bad circumstances this sure does make us want to just quit on life. It sucks. Ernest and Ora cannot be real people. From what I’ve read no one has received a paycheck.

Contacted through email, and offered me a work from home position. I'd be working as a Quality control specialist. The first package I was suppose to pick up from a FedEx drop off location. I never completed the request, due to learning more about the company.

Useful

Hey you guys these people care probably set up on an affiliate program using us to go the make their own commission. A few like me to get a few packages out then cut me off get some more then cut the off..and it goes on and on. Guess what; they are making huge profit..I need to shut them down! There are a lot of posts from me becausrI'm pissed.

Useful

The contract also stated they can release you from work without any reason.

Useful

These guys are still sending me packages. They even showed me a pay date on my portal. After all these reports here I’m just going to deny them after I’ve sent 3 packages. What can I do about my information given?

Useful

Set up on dashboard for shipping packages also shows pay rate monthly and bonus pay. Shipped 5 packages and dashboard shows $250 for bonus and 1,500 for base pay. Inquired to them to prove legitimacy after viewing this site. They communicated with me via to ensure of their legitimacy. Day after this my dashboard was deactivated and I have shipped 5 packages for them. This has been reported to police and filed claim on FBI website with details. They need to be stopped. They also have all my identification, address, ID, banking. etc.

It’s a scam. I’m 100% sure now. I sent them the email I pasted below and moments after, my account was deactivated and I can’t sign in anymore. I’m really glad I didn’t provide them with my SSN.

Hello Ernest and Ora,

I hope this finds you well!

Thank you again for the opportunity to work at Pilot Shippers. I'm very excited about this position.

Ernest, I was hoping we could finish our phone conversation. I tried calling you, but you didn't answer after our call dropped.

Can you both please provide me with your LinkedIn profiles? I have tried to find information online about the company, but I can't find anything. When I type Pilot Shippers on Google, it doesn't show up at all. I also wanted to check with you if we can schedule a video call at your earliest convenience? Being that we have only communicated via email and phone calls, I would like to place a face on the people I'm communicating with. Additionally, it will give me peace of mind, since there are a lot of scammers out there and that would help me feel more protected.

Please let me know if you have any questions or comments.

All the best,

Useful

That's good you did your investigation

Useful

Yeah..it's a scam. Shipped several packages then confronted them on my dashboard about their legitimacy and they responded via mail response and phone. Both Earnest and Jean Barnes assuring they were legit. Well after receiving the responses, I assured them I'd be willing to continue work if they are not scammers and not doing anything illegal. Well I noticed today no packages were sent to me and after logging in again to my dashboard, I could no longer get in. As of today, my bonus was at $250 and doing my job. I should be paid 1,500. Now what? Are they going to honor their employment agreement ?. I also had sent a message that they should want to prove themselves by allowing me to have positive feedback. Well this is what I got but if they don't pay me FBI will have all info to find these guys you bet.

Useful

Hello everyone. I have been contacted by email too. But i haven't sent any info to them. I thought it was a scam so I checked the address and it is an abandon warehouse. I asked them about this and their response to me was that this doesn't cost you anything we provide you with everything so how are we scamming you? I think they will play the shippong thing with you for awhile then use your info to steal your identity. I think if you have given them all your info you should purchase a package from someone to watch your identity file for you.

Useful

Do you physically went to check the address?

Useful

Cathy...Don't

Useful

I just want to know if they really are a scam many of you say u received packages but have any of you received a check?

Useful

Hi my name is Bryan im currently working with oilot shipping i just did my first package yesterday and im thinking it's legit but after seeing this page idk now

Useful

I would really like to know that too!
ANYONE BEEN PAID?

Victim Location 21754
Type of a scam Employment

This company claims to be legitimate. Their "interview" was to acknowledge they called and reply to their email "I confirm."

Useful

Based on the contacts, we are supposed to get paid on the last day of each month.

Useful

No got paid yet...

Useful

Does anyone have any updates? They're asking me to fill up a W-4, but I'm not sure if I want to provide my SSN.

Useful

Dont cause I dont think they do any type of bg check and they sure ain't gon send you no w2 at the beginning of the year that's obvious just reading the posts.

Useful

Don't provide it until you are sure.

Useful

They asked me to sign the employee agreement and provide copy of my DL is the last 4 covered. But I’m not certain I want to provide a copy of my license since the “phone interview” was not really an interview. It was more like information.

Also, I checked the address and from what I read it looks like an abandoned warehouse. I could be wrong but I’m still
On the fence. Sounds too good to be true.

Any other thoughts or feedback?

Useful

Lmao so here I am again w/ a brief update. So like I was saying at first my thoughts on these guys were scammers right... but then a few days later I received a package thinking to myself well hmmm this might be right... so today I went through all the steps by opening the box, checking the material, uploading documents and finally sending it to fed ex near by. So I’m like dang i might of judged to soon. Well as I just received another package my momma ask a few questions (that I answered by the way) but she was still up in that air about it like I was at first. So then she sends me this (watch out for the from home package shipping scam!) Real way to earn money online.com check it out everyone

Useful

Yeah I have sent a 2 now and seeing this has made me do some deeper digging. I tried calling as a customer today and got sent to voicemail. None of their contacts seem to be real people and I'm feeling iffy. where can I go and who can I talk to to get to the bottom of this? I do not want to be involved if they are not legit. I am going to talk to a lawyer on Friday and take his advice and am getting ready to just call them and quit right now.

Useful

Glad to see this and I am still checking into this. I have sent 4 packages a d don't want to go to jail. It all seems so legit but after reading the article on the website you provided I scared. What should I do...what are you going to do?

Useful

Well from my experience so far, I can kinda confirm their legitimacy a bit. I've talked to the supervisor person for my area on the phone a couple times for details on how to package things correctly. Seemed like a cool person, also a package did get sent to my house but I overslept and missed that one because it was a sign-for type package.

Useful

I can now confirm it is a TOTAL SCAM! I called them and they lied so badly. I went to pick up a package today after talking to Ernest (biggest liar ever and he is the leader). Went to FedEx and had an authorization form to pick up the package in someone else's name, lady at FedEX told me "sorry this package cant' be released to you, this ID is a man's photo but we called and it's a female and she reported her CC stolen 2 weeks ago". I called Ernest and Katie and had the FedEx lady leave the voice mail to prove it to them. I then got a call from their "HR dept, Jean" who pretended to care and she will handle this and look into it. Went to log into my dashboard and I am now locked out.
By the way I had shipped 5 boxes and had to chase some of them all over town and back on my time and my dime
Worked for them for free. May we all learn and they will get what's coming to them!

Useful

I talk with them too but they are proving themselves not legit and have deactivated my dashboard and I have sent 5 packages so far. But the police is on it and report filed to them and FBI. Shame on them.

Useful

Charlie I'm with you they have deactivated my dashboard and I suppose to have earned $250 bonus. We going after guys to [censored] this down!

Useful

Did you already provided your Social Security #? Have you received a package already?

Useful

Was doing the application and reading up on it at the same time they are the same people I'm dealing with glad I read up on them...

Was this the EIN used on pilotshippers.com's W-4s they were sending out to new hires?
If So, public records lookup:
https://florida.intercreditreport.com/company/the-pilot-group-of-the-coast-llc-l...⇄ /> http://www.escpa.org/cama/Detail_a.aspx?s=091S314200140005

My bet is this "KIMBERLY JOHNSON" person who is the owner of the home at this address according to public tax records has no clue that this company in under her name.

Useful

Hello,

I think this company is legit. I've done a lot of investigating and I haven't found any bad reviews on them except https://www.scampulse.com/pilot-shippers-reviews page. However I did find them on the Better Business Bureau and I wanted you all to see this https://www.bbb.org/us/fl/pensacola/profile/drop-shipper-mailing-services/pilot-...⇄ . Everything matches that's on their website too. Here is their website http://pilotshippers.com/

I hope after you all look over these pages you will have more peace of mind, but again I am not 100% sure this is legit but I am more than 80% sure its legit.

I do look forward on hearing from you to talk more about this company!

Useful

Hello. I have been contacted by initial email just like explained above. and Sill me replied their email, gave my name, address, phone number. Also signed their electronic application with my DL copy with last 4 digits hidden? and did interview on phone?

I felt little fishy and started searching and now found this.
Can someone help me what to do next? since they have my DL (with last 4 digits hidden)?

Useful

they cannot do anything with that but i think it was a way for them to make you feel like you should be scared of that instead of covering your social when you fill out the w-4.. that is where you should be careful. 239558481

Useful

Thomasina, have you given them your SSN for tax purposes?

Useful

I receive my first package on Friday will let you know how that goes. I have a dashboard and everything
