I saw the ad in the local paper to make money selling wholesale items for this company JB Mills. It seemed legit, even the website looked real, and there weren't any "scam" reports at the time of the ad. I did look into the BBB and they didn't show up either. Looks legit so I went along with it.
A week later I get a call from Ronald Baxter asking if I was still interested in the position. I said yes and the paper work went underway. Basically I used my Ebay account and my Paypal account to sell their Items. I was given two things to sell. To make a long story short, I sold the items both of them worth together about 4400 dollars. I transferred the money sent to me from the buyers to my bank account, to which I would then send the money through western union.
This first person (courier) I sent the money too was Omar simms from windsor ontario canada. I get a call from western union at 6am telling me that that name was involved in a fraudulent scam. I eventually got refunded and was given two new names to send the money too. Those were Natiesha Cole and Renee Harrison. They recieved the money and I was given tracking numbers from Fedex. They said it would take around 10 days for the buyers to receive their items.
I was wrong. Three weeks later going on to 4, the buyers haven't received their items and now I owe them their money that I dont have. I don't make a lot of money in real life, and Ebay is sort of a secondary income for me and my family, I never moved over a hundred dollars worth of merchandise on Ebay. Right before the buyers were supposed to receive their items, my "boss" Ronald Baxter (ext 649) claimed he would be leaving for the week and his replacement Karen Mathews would be able to help me with anything.
I called more than 20 times yesterday to try and get a hold of someone there at JB Mills. No answer, no call back. My reputation on Ebay is now ruined, paypal account is frozen until I can provide an itemized list of the "products" i sold on Ebay. Keep in mind that all these items I sold were "time sensitive" and was only given 5 days or 24 hrs to sell the items. I guess the faster they can scam more ppl the more money they'll make.
I can't get a hold of anyone, Ebay buyers are filing a dispute, I can't get the oney to pay them back, and this isn't money that I make in a month.in fact It takes me around 5 months to make the amount of money I was given. Not sure what to do if there's anyone willing to help, I will welcome it with open arms and open mind. I want everyone to know NOT to trust this company. Its a scam people.
I'm in the process of filing a police report and possibly with the FBI. These guys need to be taken down and it needs to stop!!
