I’ve been scamed recently. Same email Michael Wolf HR director, a phone number where nobody answerS in NY.. they even make a call from Switzerland to scam you… somebody pretending to be from de HR
it was to good to be true… When it’s like that you have to suspect .. 1 week of bull[censored].. beware everyone
I have had the same exact experience. Training and tests then part time purchasing job to get experience that made no sense. I still don’t know what they are after.
They even called my references. Unbelievable how far they will go to scam you
Same thing as above referenced except names were slightly altered from Michael Atwood to Michael Wolf & from Angela Adams to Melanie Walker. Fortunately I only did test for week 1 and someone told me “it’s too good to be true” & even the scammers state that as an FAQ and justify it by stating the Freightline industry is challenging and most people only last 6 mths and that there’s tons of training. Another thing as nice as their bogus website transpointfl.com looks there are no names on the ships in the pictures resembling who they work for and when searching the NY phone number n business is attached to it. Beware, as I was one to never fall into this but this crafty group obviously have nothing better to do as it had to tof taken a lot of time/effort to put this together and most people won’t even know they are being scammed into the 5th week thinking they may be landing this great nonexisting career.
Same thing happened to me, thanks for the review, certainly saved me some time and effort too. Best of luck.
Just received similar scam email (my zip code is 85259)

Type of a scam Business Email Compromise
Promised Project Manager work from home job with 5 weeks of paid training, 4 weeks online, 1 in New York. Took 4 weeks of tests online for agreed paid training. Open book, so tests were easy. Offered mini-project, during training for extra money–which was the scam, to buy 6 iPhone X, using their Purchase Order (PO). PO was supposed to deposit to my account but never does. Michael Atwood, lead HR, never returns phone calls, only e-mail. 1st red flag. Angela Adams was the original contact, who disappears after first introducing the scam. 2nd red flag. I couldn’t find any of my e-mails with her or open the Transpoint Shipping Lines website. Then a week later, Michael Atwood contacts me, posing as the lead HR, who will be my training lead. Website reappears. I ask Michael about Angela and why he never answers his phone. No answer. 3rd red flag. He sends the weekly training materials and tests. After week 2, he asks if I’d like to make extra money doing a mini-project, which was to buy & send 6 iPhone X to a customer in Hong Kong. 4th red flag, because there are Apple stores in Hong Kong, per the Apple store. Michael sends all info on how to request the PO funds, using their instructions, all legit looking with diagram examples of Chase and Wells Fargo bank. The account’s routing number is a Wells Fargo account, according to one of my banks. In anticipation of the PO funds, I bought the 6 phones with my credit card but held them, waiting for the PO funds to arrive in my bank account, which never did. 5th red flag. After a week+ of waiting for the funds and not getting any good news from Michael about them, I personally went to my 2 banks, to see if the problem was on my end. Two of my bank reps told me it sounded like a scam, but I knew I had the phones and could return them, hoping it was not a scam. 6th red flag. I even e-mailed Michael after the bank visits, and he assured me that the money was canceled when I inquired at the bank because the account is highly sensitive. That I need to wait for the PO funds. 7th red flag. By this time, I’m pissed and e-mail Michael, since he doesn’t answer the phone or call back, asking if it was a scam, telling him I was going to report him to the BBB. Michael’s classic response: "Is this a joke? I don’t get it." 8th red flag. After the 4th week of testing, the next week would have been when they paid to send me to New York. I kept asking about the PO funds and Michael said he’d check with Zurich HQ (which is where the fake HQ was). After almost 2 weeks of waiting for the PO funds, I returned the phones and called and e-mailed Michael.. Once he knew I returned phones, he stopped contact with me. The 9th red flag. The website has been taken down. I kept all e-mails and coursework, which LOOK LEGIT BUT IT’S FAKE. The individual went through a lot to create (or steal) training materials, put up a legitimate-looking website, and carry on the scam for weeks. Huge waste of time and disappointment. Lesson: if it sounds too good to be true, it most likely is. Stop after the 1st red flag.
Some action must be made agains this scammers!
They keep on doing it, same script different names, beware everyone!

Type of a scam Employment
This is a fake Transport & Logistics company based out of Zurich, Switzerland. I am not exactly sure on what they are after since I did not complete the on-line training they wanted me to do. I started asking too many questions and that’s when they cut all communication with me.
I never applied to this company, they must have found my resume on line. The only information I gave them was my name, address, and date of birth. Below is the first two email I was sent from them.
