Type of a scam Employment
I was called by recruiter (AT Global Consultant) and they informed that I will be training with them for a month and later will be offered job depending on how I perform in training and I was supposed to get payment for training too. During training, they asked me to order 5 macbook laptops to be shipped to their client overseas. I used my family member’s credit card to purchase said laptops. Recruiter provided me checking and routing number to pay my credit card bill. After I purchased laptops, I added recruiter’s payment method into credit card account, waited for a day or so till the funds appeared in my credit card account after that I shipped laptops to Ukraine. I did same with 2 more orders (4 laptops and 5 laptops, respectively).
Now, after a week credit card company shows returned payment. Recruiters are not returning my calls.
So I suspect its a scam. I also feel that credit card companies (Chase, Bank of America and Citi) misguided me about the payments. I used three different card from Chase, Bank of America and Citi in each order. I shipped laptops overseas only after I saw money from recruiters were posted online. Now after a week, the payment was returned and they said money never came in first place.
