Type of a scam Employment

was contacted through their "HR rep" for employment through email, typical of the many recruiters I receive emails from. I was told about an employment opportunity to become a Project Mgr with a salary of 80,000. In order to be considered for full-time employment, you had to go through a training program, all to be done remotely. It included 4 weeks of learning the material to work in transportation, specifically in imports. The training materials were legitimate, with tests given weekly. Once the training ended after 4 weeks you were given a cumulative exam. At that point, once you completed and turned in, within 8 business days you were to be notified of the next step, which was told to be completed in New York city lasting one week in their office. This was the last step before a potential offer for employment was to be made. Also to note, once you completed the training, you were promised to be paid at minimum $2400, and at most over $5000 if you took on a part-time project during the course of the training. I learned in week 2 or 3 that this "part-time" included ordering supplies for one of their international offices. I should’ve been alarmed then because they wanted me to use a personal credit card to do so, stating I would be reimbursed. After I turned the offer down, I thought if this is a scam I won’t be contacted anymore. That didn’t occur and my training program continued. Once I completed my final cumulative test and waited a few days with no contact, I became concerned that I just participated in a scam. The website is now down and no one has returned an email, and calls can’t be connected to the no. given. Thankfully, I didn’t give all of my personal or account information, so other hurt pride, I didn’t lose anything. So beware if you are contacted by Christy Nelson or Jeffrey Rankin, recruiting you for a Project Mgr position with Compass Transportation Network Company.

Type of a scam Employment

Below is the initial job offer from Compass Transportation Network. It was for a project manager position for a logistics company. A 4-week training course was offered with compensation with a second stage of training in New York if elected to advance. During this training course, a part time job as a procurement agent was offered to me as a form of income. I declined the offer, as I was still employed at the time. Had I taken it, as I have read in other scam reports, they would be asking me for credit card information. So I was strung on throughout the whole training and Final test so that I wouldn’t suspect anything. I found this out to be a scam when I called them to find out when my training check would be sent out, but there landline had been disconnected and that they stopped returning my emails. They are very good at what they do in this scam. They had people call me doing phone interviews, emails being answered. Their literature and tests all look legit. No money was lost, just a lot of time and energy.

I received notification of a job opertunity for a company opening a new office in WA state. Paid training and part time jobs, during training. I reached 3 weeks of training and the part time job was to transfer $7000+ onto my credit card and purchase multiple IPhones with a 400.00 payment to myself.

The representative stated that the company was not able to purchase these themselves and needed a third party person to do it, and send them to Hong Kong.

When I questioned the need for this, I started getting multiple emails explaining how I was not at risk.

Received below email. Followed by training manager Jeffrey Rankin who started my 4 week training. I tried research and could not find anything one the company, Jeffrey Ranking, or Aubrey. I was given a part time project where they wanted me to use my credit cart to add " company funds" to order equipment. You are told you will receive a check at the end of the training with an invite to there New York office. However the address is just a building with a bunch of leased offices and the BLDG manager never heard of them.

I received the following email. It seems too good to be true and did some digging. Quite a few people have reported this as a scam so I thought I would make a report too in the event it takes multiple reports for any action to be taken.
