*****, if you still want to make income online, we have a few openings over the next few day to discuss that, text S if you want one of those spots, first come, first serve, thank you.
I began training on the week of September 6th, 2022 and completed training on October 10, 2002. I corresponded with Nick throughout the four week training period as he stated he would be my training manager. I received another email on October 4, 2022 that a $5200 check has been processed and it would be sen to my address given to them through on on-boarding papers. After I submitted my final test, I was told that it would take a week to grade and he would reach out with the next training details. I didn't hear from him again until October 14th, 2022, when I sent an email inquiring about my training payment of $5200. He responded that he would contact the Zurich headquarters about the payment. Since then I have not heard from him since or anyone from this supposed company and I just discovered that the International Ports Logistics Co. website is now down and/or no longer exists.
I added mary thomas to my zoom thinking we would have a video chat. This was not the case. It was text only asking me to answer questions. Then told me I needed to buy equipment and they would reimburse me. I asked a lot of other questions that were dismissed and was told I have a limited to time let them know if I would like to move forward...
Looked at this BBB.org site and saw similar patterns.
I received the email with the zoom link on the day of the interview. I looked up the names of the HR representative ("*****) and hiring manager (****** *******") included in the email and could not find them on the company website or on the company's LinkedIn page. I also did not find any job openings related to anything I applied for on the company website. This company would be D2S Inc. which is a legitimate company, but as far as I know, it is not based in the state where I live. And finally, the email address was flagged with a question mark by Gmail, indicating that the email address could not be verified.
In light of all of these inconsistencies, I decided not to go through with the interview. I also received a text to confirm the interview 2 minutes before it was scheduled. Just to be clear, I never attended the interview and only talked to this person a few times through text messages. Regardless, I am almost positive that this was a scam. I applied for several jobs on Indeed in the months leading up to this, so assume that this is how this person got my email and phone number. I am just relaying this information and reminding everyone to always verify the identity of the person interviewing you, particularly for remote interviews.
I applied and was emailed and offered an interview. The interview was conducted via Skype messaging only, leading to me being offered the job that day. I was then emailed a contract and w-4 form to which I completed, signed and returned, with a copy of my drivers license front/back pictured. The scammer then had access to my social security number, knows my address, etc. The contract was very thorough and explained how I would be sent working materials/equipment/software/etc. I was told I would be in contact with a supervisor. The dates of me being sent equipment or getting to interact with the supervisor continued to be pushed back multiple times.
The Skype messaging continued and the ‘hiring manager’ instructed me how to use multiple electronic checks to deposit to my bank and then send money to ‘vendors’ via Apple Pay and Zelle. This continued for 2 weeks. I was told the money sent was being used to purchase software and equipment for my home office.
Once a check bounced and the amount was withdrawn from my account, the ‘hiring manager’ stopped talking with me via Skype.
I have taken all information, emails, Skype messages, and contract/W4 to the police and filed a fraud report. The police instructed me to contact IRS, BBB, Linkedin and LSB Industries.
I don't believe this business is active anymore and the entire interview process left me with a bad taste in my mouth which only got worse once I found the company online.
The pay, benefits, and job duties are all very attractive and I feel could easily trap other people into believing it and giving these scammers access to their personal information if they believe they have secured a job with this "company"
Thank you for your time and consideration. I also have screenshots of the emails if those would be beneficial.
Interview Manager:
Name: Jake Harvey
Username: @jakeharvey1
Interview Code: KP/HR -118
I immediately ceased contact and blocked the email account.

They offered me a position as Customer Service Officer, had someone from their "Human Resources" department interview me, gave me access to their online portal to upload all the usual documentation, CDL, I9 Information which has my social security number information, etc.
When I researched the company on Linked In, there was nothing to be found, I called their 888 number and no-one answers. Then I researched their address and they are not listed on the building directory. They say that they are "Sales Force Registered Consulting Partner"
Once I asked them about not being on linked in, and my other concerns they blocked me from logging into their website. Now, they've got all my personal info!!! Please don't make the same mistake that I did!!!
They even have a "company handbook" that I've uploaded for you!
Obviously I am concerned about credit fraud, so I put a freeze on my accounts with the three credit bureau's. What else can I do to make sure #1) I am protected #2) no-one else falls victim to this company? This is why I am reporting the BBB.
