FABE LLC

Type of a scam Employment

I initially applied to a local customer service assistant opportunity in Edmonton, Alberta Canada. I received a response from [email protected] asking me to fill out an online application form at https://fbe.monster/careers/index.php

I was approved to take part in a two week trial contract to prove my value. Since I was desperate and applying to various multiple jobs, I was not aware that there was a "switch in job opportunity". From a local job to an online job opportunity. The opportunity became an online customer service assistant for an web design firm "in" New York, NY. Website and address looked legitimate because it the website was beautifully done.

My first task was to develop a power point presentation of hotels that will accommodate the company’s team of twelve in Montreal. The reason is because FABE LLC is "expanding and opening new offices in Montreal and Edmonton" this year. The first task made me commit to this job and I was given the second task of processing a "financial transaction". This is were things were getting sketchy and I was desperate and committed to a job that will be ideal for my plans and goals. I was sent an E-transfer of $2,793 CAD from a "client" or possibly another victim and was instructed to withdraw it from my personal account to deposit it into a Bitcoin ATM machine. *SCAM ALERT* But I was so determined that this was a "new process" for online based businesses. But did not think clearly about, "Why can’t this business do this themselves". My incentive for doing this was a $113 commission, so I was also blinded by "instant money". I completed the transaction despite the bank warning me that I am most likely involved in a scam. Which doesn’t help, because anyone can say it can be a scam. However, if they asked me questions about the job to help me realize that it is a scam. That would have been more effective. Tip, "Do not rush, stay around and make yourself available to a conversation about it being a scam". Even the convenient store cashier was telling me that it was fraud, after I completed the transaction (converting money to bitcoin and sending it).
