Type of a scam Employment

Updating original report due to this criminal reversing another payment and the banks involved being unwilling to intervene, even after being told a crime is being committed. Total loss now over $40K. This company/individual is a fraud/scam and is engaging in unlawful activity. They will rob you. Do not trust them. The TMGI "supervisor" offers a job, with a 2 week training period, during which you are supposed to be a 1099 independent contractor with commissions. The job involves purchasing electronics and then shipping them, in this case internationally. "Supervisor" asks you to use your own credit card to make purchases and submit receipts for reimbursement. Once your training period is over, you are supposed to get a corporate card for expenses. The scam is, they do reimburse you via providing a routing and account number that you use to phone in the payment to your credit card. The bank holds the funds until they clear and post as a payment. Then, you ship the goods and "supervisor" gets notification they are en route/delivered. He then phones in, reverses the payment, and states you did not have authority to use that account number (even though you get written permission to do so). You also never get paid your base pay or commission. It is a very elaborate scheme that includes an employment "contract" that never gets fulfilled and in which they provide an EIN number to "prove" their legitimacy (see below). While the EIN does match something and does not show issues, it is likely being fraudulently used, as well. When I began this in early January, there were no complaints that we could find. BEWARE OF THIS COMPANY AND THE PEOPLE POSING TO BE SUPERVISORS. The phone number provided in the alert on ScamPulse.com is also supposedly the phone number of the "Supervisor" who contacted me, but he has a different name than the one on the alert. AGAIN BEWARE! The proper authorities have been contacted. I am requesting that you post this and do your best to help protect others from this horrific scam. These people need to be brought to justice. Banks should tighten their phone in payment and payment reversal processes and require more identifiable information as opposed to using an automated system. Specifically, Chase Bank and Citibank are aware but are unwilling to intervene or even question/ask for identification of the person reversing payment. Please do what you can to help so that no one else falls victim.
