Central Transport International LLC/ Hikens

I'm in New Mexico and I just went through the same thing as well same females Michelle Kerns and Pamala Hutton. I did what Iwas supposed to only got two packages (one was a phone case other was three bottles of lotion.) I was very weary of this from the beginning so thank god I accepted another job offer but still did everything that was expected of me during this 30 day period even checking the site every hour as expected. They sent me an email saying I was considered to be full time and that I would have a check in ten days. lol sure pal ! its been over 30 and nothing. what my main concern is how is this scam working they have all of our SSN now. I want justice for my time ! Also would LOVE to see both Michelle and Pamala (haha I'm sure that's not even their real names) sitting in Jail for not only scamming but Mail Fraud ! what do we do now?

Applied for a work from home job, did a phone interview and received an email stating I received the local hub coordinator position from Pam Hutton, HR. I received a W-9 form to complete for payroll from Jennifer Lea. I filled out the form and returned it to the company, now I am a little nervous giving them my personal information since I have not heard back from the company after completing my 30 day probationary period. I have not received a paycheck that was agreed upon in the employment agreement. I contacted the payroll department via email and they told me they would cancel the original check that was mailed to me and send out another. The website that I was using is no longer accessible and none of the phone numbers provided are in use.

I began working for them in December and never received a paycheck. Pamela Hutton was HR and Michelle Kerns supervisor. I was promised reimbursement and never received anything.

Reshipped packages that came to home from postal services

Sent personal info in regards to gaining employment. What I thought to be employment stop suddenly wo pay in the midst of a pandemic. Saddened to know that something is not after shipping several packages after 30 days I continuously emailed Michelle Pamela and payroll everything came to a halt nomore packages emails crm system not working not even a payment.

Scam

I contacted the police officer in my location who happened to report a fraud and called Michelle Kerns about the incident - she sounds professional. She told me, Gabrielle the Senior Lawyer will send me an email. She asked me to provide the police officer's contact information and they will contact him. I am not sure if they did - that was pretty scary on my part, as I am trying to survive and need to pay my bills. I emailed the police officer about this and I will be hearing with them soon.

Also, my 30 day probationary ended and it has been over 10 days and I keep checking my mailbox like almost everyday. Nothing.

I still have 4 packages with me and I reported it to the police, so they can be send out whoever owns it. Do you guys have packages left with you?

They need to be stopped and we all need to be paid for this trouble

Like this is super ridiculous I’m a single person who do I have any support our government assistant I work for this job for 30+ days I have been waiting on my paycheck now for almost 30 days I have the exact same experience that everyone else has on this site same information same everything now I did keep all of my information for hours where was the packages sent to when they were sent out the receipts for any of them and all of that something just told me to it got to be a way that they can find out who is behind out of this no tell me what they are doing with our Social Security number drivers license personal information.

Scam

I was also scammed by this awful company! I am behind on payments now too! It’s so sad that they use regular people who are literally struggling and actually need a job. I still haven’t received payment and it seems like they say the exact same thing to every single person. I received a call from a Mary person I believe and then also spoke to Michelle kerns on the phone the day I began.

I was offered a position as a local hub coordinator. They have their own website and I thought it was real because I saw that there were other job openings. I still haven’t gotten paid and I keep calling the numbers I was provided but the lines are disconnected now.

SCAM

Re-shipping job scams don’t deliver

The Better Business Bureau is warning job seekers about a scheme that promises you big money by working from home. It could actually land you in trouble with the law for shipping stolen goods.

It’s called the “re-shipping scam,” and it is becoming a popular way for scam artists to run off with your hard-earned money. The scam typically starts as a job offer on the internet and involves you receiving packages that you will, in turn, send to another location. The BBB advises job seekers to use caution with job descriptions that advertise “package processing,” “package forwarding,” “wiring funds,” etc. Individuals should be wary if they are asked to accept packages at their home address and forward them on, especially to a foreign country.

My supervisor name was Mitchell kerns phone number 213 528 3510 [email protected]

After my 30 days of working for them I was promised they was going to mail off my check but instead they send me an email saying
Dear Jaron,

Congratulations on hitting the end of your probationary period!

It was great to have you as a part of our team.
The decision on your full-time enrollment with HIKENS will be made on a basis of the comprehensive feedback, reported by your supervisor to our HR Department on the last day of your training, as well as your overall performance score during the probationary month.

It takes up to 10 business days for our HR team to review it and make a decision due to increasing amount of applicants recently.
You will be notified about the results of your evaluation via email from our HR rep at their earliest convenience.

You might be still receiving few orders in the next couple of days since they could've been assigned to your
account prior the end of your probation or due to the working schedule of your local couriers.
Just  follow the instructions of your supervisor, she will advise you whether you should process them, send to
our Returns Department or hold onto those packages till our HR makes a decision.

Your paper check was issued and mailed yesterday at approx 3pm PST.
Usually it takes around 10 business days to arrive by USPS regular mail.
The duration a paycheck takes to get from our location to yours will depend on distance between the addresses, carrier, selected postal speed, etc.
Please inform us once it is delivered.
Thank you,
Jennifer Lea / Payroll Dept.

I decided to research them again and it was just posted that this job was a scam I try reaching out to them, and they block there number.. now im behind on bills and now struggling to maintain my finances and now looking for employment

Hikens, a similar experience

The interview was pretty normal all things considered but that's about where things stopped. I spent a month in the probationary period with this job and received maybe 6 orders in this time. I reached out to my supervisor and was assured it happens on occasion but that it would be okay. It's been 2 weeks since my probationary period had ended and I've still not received any pay. This had placed me in a financial crisis and when I reached out to payroll they assured me that sometimes it take up to 14 business days to come In. I also haven't heard back about whether I have been retained as an employee or not . I've since started looking for new employment because I have a feeling it may never come and I have been left with no other options.

Applied for work from home job. I was sent an email about an interview. Did a phone interview. Got hired to work from home. Receiving and sending packages. Was a little skeptical. This is my first week. I am still skeptical. What raised a red flag is when i was told that i will mot get paid until 30 later and the payment was going to be $4,285. Something about this does not seem right at all

Hikens

I got the same generated message from a Pamela Hutton as well. Which makes me super uncomfortable. It’s started off with me sharing the excitement of my new job with a friend in a different state and she stated that another friend had the same job description and policies as well as items, and never received pay after his 30 day probation period. So I began to research and found some articles that make me questionable about this jobs credibility.
