I submitted complain to FBI:

I was contacted by a woman who calls herself “Beth Pollard” claiming to be a HR Manager for this fake company. This woman initially called my phone and left a message regarding a possible employment position as she found my resume online and then followed up with a very detailed e-mail outlining the company, position, salary range and benefits. Prior to responding, I did go to the website https://pft-systems.us/, which I will give these folks credit as they worked hard to make it look legit, as there were no broken links nor anything that stood part from a reputable site. Unfortunately, believing this was legit, I moved forward with wanting to know about the position as Project Manager and had a phone interview scheduled with the typical questions asked. A week later, I was advised I would hear from the Regional Manager “Charlie Nilsson” who also called and sent a very detailed e-mail indicating what was to be a month long online training, as they were to open a new regional office in my area. The address that I was given is to an actual location that I am familiar with so again, no red flags were raised. I received via e-mail a conditional contract of employment and advised that upon successful completion of the month long training that a permanent offer of employment could be made since I was considered an independent contractor during said “training period”. The “training” is was scheduled to be a total of 4 weeks with a Work Plan outlining a total of 10 case studies provided electronically by the “company” with the final week being webinars. The “company” claims that upon successful completion of “training” with a passing grade of no less than a B, that I would receive $2,000.00 via either check or direct deposit. Please keep in mind at no point was I asked for banking information or social security number even when told to complete an online application. I was informed during “training” that “HQ” is impressed with my work from answering the case studies and turning them in on time and would like to know if I could assist in the launch of said regional office by purchasing some office equipment using the “corporate account”. The use of the “corporate account” is to initiate a bank funds transfer on credit cards (up to 4 cards) to purchase items since the “corporate cards” for said account will take about 3-4 weeks to arrive and they want to have the office up and running on the date indicated in the e-mail received. BAIT: The assignment is called a “special project” when you can receive additional compensation apart from the “training” pay you hope to receive. I informed that I could receive up to an additional $599.00 based on the completion of each “special project” assigned. Upon agreeing to help launch the new regional office, I was sent detailed bank transfer instructions, a purchase order of the items for said “office”, the “corporate” banking account & routing numbers through Wells Fargo with the my name listed as the authorize user, and shipping instructions. The products were to be shipped to “tech support” in order to have the project management software the “company” uses installed which is not the same address as the “company’s”. According to the purchase order received, I needed to buy Apple products, 4 MacBook Pro. On July 8 I succesfully transfer $4,823.39 form Wells Fargo to my City account as an authorized user and proceeded with the purchase. Couple days later I noticed that the transfer was refunded back to Wells Fargo with the date of 7/8/20. I contacted Charlie Nilsson immediately and he responded that his corporate finance confirmed that I was an authorized user and Advised me t transfer money again assuring that there will be no problem. On July 16th I transfer the money again and they show on my account as a successful payment. At that point I purchased the 4 MacBook Pro and overnight UPS Air shipped them to :LeFleur Marcello, 5252 Corteen Pl#1 Valley Village, CA 91607 and I emailed Charlie Nilssson receipt. He immediately congratulated and told me that my compensation may be done by a check or I can wire this money from Wells Fargo account. After this all went dead. Emails bounced back, phones were dead, company website disappeared. I attempted yet another transfer but it bounced back as well. I attempted to contact “Charlie Nilsson” (617-849-8491) but the phone just rang with no voicemail & the Verizon operator stated the caller was not available; I tried to go on the fake company’s site to make a complaint but the “site” was under construction” I will like to pursue legal action to catch these imposters that seen to be preying on victims like myself. Now I don’t know how I will pay for this debt.

I to was told of the job, I had done 8 modules when all communication ceased on July 10th. They also where using a Mussouri phone number 573-846-9565. I did not let them attempt any kind of transfers. Please watch out for this Charlie Nillsson and Beth Pollard. He may be a college student from the Netherlands. The Beth Pollard I have discovered I do not believe is her but she was also from that area and may just been a part of his Scheme. Please do not fall for this I know many people need to work and this poor person needs her money back. The phone numbers were never answered and one time I told him to start using a different email for correspondence he acted like I was talking Martian. Be aware.

Type of a scam Employment

Beware, especially if you had, currently have or recently posted your resume online. On June 1, 2020, I was contacted by a woman who calls herself “Beth Pollard” claiming to be a HR Manager for this fake company. This woman initially called my phone and left a message regarding a possible employment position as she found my resume online and then followed up with a very detailed e-mail outlining the company, position, salary range and benefits.

I received via e-mail a conditional contract of employment and advised that upon successful completion of the month long training that a permanent offer of employment could be made since I was considered an independent contractor during said "training period". The "training" is was scheduled to be a total of 4 weeks with a Work Plan outlining a total of 10 case studies provided electronically by the "company" with the final week being webinars. The "company" claims that upon successful completion of "training" with a passing grade of no less than a B, that I would receive $2,000.00 via either check or direct deposit. Please keep in mind at no point was I asked for banking information or social security number even when told to complete an online application. I was informed during “training” that "HQ" is impressed with my work from answering the case studies and turning them in on time and would like to know if I could assist in the launch of said regional office by purchasing some office equipment using the "corporate account". The use of the "corporate account" is to initiate a bank funds transfer on credit cards (up to 4 cards) to purchase items since the "corporate cards" for said account will take about 3-4 weeks to arrive and they want to have the office up and running on the date indicated in the e-mail received.

According to the purchase order received, I needed to buy Apple products, 4 MacBook Pro. I purchased one of each and per the shipping instructions were to ship these items overnight via FEDEX or UPS. I then was to notify “Charlie Nilsson” when the items were purchased, e-mail the product receipt and photo of shipping label, which all occurred on October 26, 2019. The bank transfers I initiated on June 30, 2020 went through without problems; however, on July 6, 2020, I received an insufficient funds notification from American express credit card company for the amount of 3530.99. On July 9, when I reached out to :Charlie Nilsson", I was told that the issue was with my bank as the "account" had over $21,000.00 available; but a check would be sent to cover the payment reversal. On July 6, I received another payment reversal from Chase credit card company for the amount of $2286, this time due to not being an authorized account user. All communication ceased on July 10, 2020 after being told of a check would be sent. I attempted to contact “Charlie Nilsson” (617-849-8491) but the phone just rang with no voicemail & the Verizon operator stated the caller was not available; I tried to go on the fake company’s site to make a complaint but the “site” was under construction” I will like to pursue legal action to catch these imposters that seen to be preying on victims like myself. Now I don’t know how I will pay for this debt.
