The first week in August an individual from QNX Group sent me an email stating that the company's hiring manager had reviewed my resume on Career Builder.com and invited my to apply for the position. I replied with a complete application for the Regional Agent position.
Within the days following, I received email correspondence from a representative by the name of Erika Leviski. Erika sent me employment documents (ie; job description and salary scale) and the companies license and trade numbers as well as web links to research the company's authenticity. She stated that I would need to complete a phone interview with the hiring manager, Mark Loev.
Mark contacted me during the second week of August for a phone interview, he stated that QNX Group was based out of Bulgaria and was looking to bridge their companies' business to the United States. He stated that their projected time frame for the business goal was two years and they were looking for regional representatives to provide client service in the US at this time.
The next day following my interview, I received an email from Erika stating that I had been accepted for the position, she asked I submit a copy of the Employment Agreement and proof of identification (Drivers License and Social Security number) in order to validate US citizenship. She stated that I was hired on a 1099 basis and would need to complete a probation period for 3 weeks - 1 month in order to establish a permanent position with the company. She also stated that for the period of probation, I would need to use my personal banking account in order to complete the client transactions for the company, after which time I would be supplied a company credit card.
I faxed a copy of my Drivers License and Social Security Card and emailed my banking information to QNX Group after researching them online because I felt they were legitimate and I am in need of employment to support my sons.
The hiring manager, Mark, called me this morning and stated that $7,900 was due to transferred to my account tomorrow morning (8/17). I have called my bank and notified them of possible fraudulant activity and will be opening new account tomorrow. However, I am uncertain on who I need to contact to avoid criminal activity with the use of my Drivers License and Social Security Number?
I feel stupid for trusting as I did, I think that is sad that people would commit such acts as these when times are so hard in our job market. I appreciate Scambook, if I had not read the recent complaint from the individual that had been scammed for over $8000, I would have went ahead with the transaction.
Thank you,
Heather Nelson
