company tried to get me into supposed 4 week training, then more advanced training
By: Mar 13, 2017Online job site had information for Logistics Manager, with $2,000-$4,000 paid training for 4 weeks online training (1/2 hour per weekday for 4 weeks). The company would then send people who do well to their New York offices for one week second stage training. Once that is complete, they promise W2 position making $90,000/ year. A couple of red flags: the paid training is with 1099 form, which means the company would have all of your personal information, including your social security number. They also would mail the $2,000-$4,000 check, which could compromise your bank account. The address that company gives for U.S. is 250 Vesey Street, New York, NY. When I called the building manager of the building (34 story building adjacent to Freedom Tower), they said they never heard of IB Transportation. As they say: if it sounds too good to be true, it is...

Unfortunately they fixed the red flags - when I brought them up, they had plausible answers for everything, particularly that "corporate HQ" was in the UK and how fast the expansion westward was happening "we", the managers in training had to move fast! They paid off my credit card and with a credit transfer from Chase Bank of NY after 10 days it cleared - what could go wrong? It's their money. Bought $7,517.00 in Best Buy Cards and sent the CC and Pin numbers to Mr Peterson my Boss for "security" reasons, next day Chase of NYC cancelled none sufficient funds and the cards have a zero balance. I've filed with the FBI (IC3), MI AG, will be filing with Interpol as the claim "UK HQ) and Canada. And I talking with my banks Fraud department. I won't get my money back, As has been said, if it seems to good to be true, no matter how desperate you are, it is .....

My Story is about the same. I was contacted by Alice Myles and she gave me her pitch . I was intrigued since I did not apply to ICB so I played the game. I was then handed over from the contact recruiter to the handler. I was promised the exact same thing as the individual above. Payment for training ranging from $2,000.00 to $4,000.00. 1st problem Alice was recruiting me for WV and then told me about an office in Richmond Va. The Daniel Peterson my new handler told me he wanted me for Norfolk, Va and did not seem to know anything about what Alice had said- First Red Flag. Like above I made calls and found out their office was bogus. I had my Nephew who lives in Norfolk Va drive out to the office and once again no one had any idea about these people or their operation. Second Red Flag. As I progressed through the process (end of week 2 training) I was offered a very special opportunity- I was going to work on a special project. I was to purchase office equipment for an office that was going to open on short notice and I was to follow their instructions and transfer money from the corporate account to my bank account and then use my Bank debit card to make the purchase Big red Flag. No body in the corporate world does business like this... Please heed my warning stay far far away. I have filed a complaint with Federal Bureau of Investigation Internet Crime Complaint Center (IC3)....
