I was applying to jobs in a new city I had just relocated to. I was looking for anything from retail to bartending. I had SOME special events bartending experience, but I have always wanted to tend a full service bar.

I applied for a somewhat normal looking ad on craiglist but it did say minimal or no experience necessary, new bar opening up in the area, a chain, possible it stated it was a "Bj's" or something to that effect. I should have known... But I'm desperate and just relocated so I applied. I got an email saying I had a phone interview with Kyle Ash, at such n such a time on such n such a date. I had the interview, he told me all about the job, what they do, how busy it was, how many hours a week it would probably be, even discussed wages and tips etc, He asked me about my experience, and bar knowledge. It was somewhat minimal, he said I should look into this online course, finish it by monday or tuesday take a test and get back to me ASAP and then I'll have a second interview with the Bar manager.

This is when he told me he worked for "webarfly". I went to the website, it looks somewhat professional.

After this discussion I agonized over whether it was real or not, I couldn't find any complaints against the company anywhere on the internet, I was feeling desperate and paid the 90 bucks. STUPID!!!

I took the test, studied the drinks etc, feeling stupid the whole time, took the damn quiz, passed with flying colors, made the suggested resume and head shot, which was actually helpful information honestly... And sent off the info to this KYLE ash.

I did not really hear from him ever again. I emailed him a few times, he said he submitted me to ONE opportunity and that they would be emailing me IF they were interested. So all he does is forward my resume? I can fucking do that! I did fucking do that! I don't know how people get into bartending, but "AMA" isn;t it. They are actually in cahoots with this "we barfly" I discovered by looking into them more online, they are the same company, same people, based in LA, you get calls / texts from 949 area codes. These guys collect money, particularly from college age people, the gullible ones, (like me) and then just disappear.

I knew it was probably a scam, took a chance, and now I'm eating food from food boxes from churches, still unemployed, and they have 90$ of my money I could have used for food. I'm a fool, but don't be a fool too, please, even if you have 90$, you might as well burn it in the fireplace for warmth, at least your money would be doing something for you there, no seriously.
