Christopher Morris HR MANAGER Smile Life-Line Organization smilifeline.org
Mr. Morris never showed his face during the interview, which I thought was strange. He offered me the position and sent me an offer letter by email on 12/28/2020 with a start date of 1/13/2021. I had to fill out an employee information form which was to provide him with my personal demographics, banking information, and passport photo ID, which I sent back to him in a confidential email via Gmail. I was then contacted by Robert Miller,([email protected]) the COO via email as I was told I would be reporting to him directly. He then stated I will be working closely with Martin Diaz ([email protected]) the Account Team Supervisor for direction on my daily tasks and with the project manager([email protected]) to secure my working tools such as a company email, laptop, and scanner. I was told to register on an app called Telegram because that is what they use to do most of their communications on, so I did and was added to the Team. We had to use code names such as red-wolf and green-wolf when communicating, I am assuming for confidentiality purposes since they are advertised as a non-profit crowdfunding organization. Martin Diaz then sent me an email forwarded to him from Robert Miller with an attached $2,000 check from a donor that was approved for my working tools. He said the working tools are paid to the employees by donors. Martin then instructs me to deposit the check via my mobile device into my bank and send him a screenshot of the transaction on both Telegram and Gmail, which I did. He asked me if the check cleared the bank. I told him only $380 cleared immediately and that it takes 2-3 business days for my bank to clear checks, but they do release a small percentage of it right away. He then told me to forward the $380 via Zelle to their vendor Stacy Bissmeyer at ([email protected]) and to tag the Zelle payment "Approved by Martin" to get the procurement of the working tools started right away even though the entire check had not cleared yet and to also send him a screenshot of the transaction via Telegram, which I did. The next day the $2k check bounced and was returned unpaid. My bank charged me a $12 return check fee. I sent Martin Diaz a Telegram message the morning of 1/8/2021 letting him know the check bounced as well as an email to everyone, Robert Miller, Martin Diaz, Christopher Morris, and the Project Manager to refund me the $380 plus $12 return check fee, as the check was no good. I didn't hear back from anyone except Martin Diaz later that afternoon stating that he was told by the COO that the donor was having some issues with their bank account and the issue should clear up soon. My bank told me the bank account the check was written on was closed. No one from Smile Life-Line Organization has made any contact with me thereafter regarding this issue or to communicate the return of my money. When I keep asking about my refund, I get no response.
