A.G.S.G. Enterprises

Victim Location 08081

Total money lost $100

Type of a scam Employment

I found AGSG enterprises on craigslist.com. It was listed when I searched security jobs in the area as I am from South Jersey and was looking in the Philadelphia area. The day I called, I was told to come in for an interview. I arrived, and the office was on the 12th floor at 1500 Market St in Philadelphia. There were multiple people there before me waiting for an interview. On the phone before I was en route to the interview, I was told to bring $100 for payment for Fire & Safety training that would allow me access to the job. When I arrived, there was a heavyset, African-American gentleman named “Mr. White,” who interviewed me and barely asked any questions. All he asked about was my availability and proceeded to tell me I would be working 3 days/week, 12 hours a day. I believed him even though he had no set location and date that I could begin. He told me that he estimated 1-2 weeks that I would be able to begin work and he would place me somewhere in the Philadelphia area. He mentioned I would only be qualified to work for this company if I complete the Fire & Safety training that was being held that weekend on 6/23/18. I proceeded to attend the training and was excepted to begin working for a security company within the next 2 weeks. I constantly called the number above on the business card and every time I got an answer, I was told I would be called back and NEVER received a call back. Every time I spoke with them, I was the one who initiated the call. The second time I encountered this company, I went to receive my Fire & Safety certificate (after contacting them constantly for about a week and a half) and was told I would be placed in a security company called Echelon in the Philadelphia area. I was told it would take LESS THAN a week to be contacted about when I would get started for this job and I never received a call. I constantly called multiple times and never receive an answer now. It is over a month later now that I spent $100 and have come to the realization that I have been scammed.
