Type of a scam Employment
Offered employment by company through Merlin App on Iphone. Hiring Manager was Mr Thomas Banks. Assigned me to a Supervisor by name of Mr Michael Derrick. The premise was that company wanted to open new office in NY and needed someone to assist with that.Had to File for a business in NY state and report to IRS. For office equipment, had to purchase iPhones, Lots of itunes and amazon cards and money transfers mostly to Nigeria and Colombia, Promised all would be repaid but have not received one cent. This stated Feb -April 2018. Had my husband speak with Chief Financial Officer Mohan Ganesan and that is when he confirmed it was scam of Nigerian fraud. He told me to cut off communication and do not provide further info. He advised we are calling office in california to confirm details. Then, recently Hiring Manager Thomas Banks advised that my previous supervisor was caught doing fraudulent things and was fired. Accused me of collaborating with Mr Derrick which I was really the victim of his schemes. My personal information has been compromised.
