Complaint Review: Essex Leasing

Essex Leasing Fraudulent Company and Fraudulent Job Offer New York New York

  • Reported By:
    Paul — California United States
  • Submitted:
    Wed, April 18, 2018
  • Updated:
    Fri, April 27, 2018

I was contacted by this "company" for a job offer. Have spoken with several individuals on the phone.

Some aliases - 

Jasmine Desmond Hayes (on the phone)

Tyler J. Aderman (via email)

Zoey W. Howard (on the phone)

They expressed interest in me for a job referred to as "Project Manager", as listed on their website.

A summary of my current efforts into their investigation is below. Essentially, their story does not ad up. They do not have a specific address (i.e. floor number) in New York, the phone number on the website does not work, and at least one of the partners has contacted me back saying they have never heard of this company. In other words, THEY ARE A SCAM! Admittedly, they put some effort into their website, but the partner that called me back informed me the website is based out of Poland/Ukraine. DO NOT SHARE YOUR PERSONAL INFORMATION WITH THEM! I have only shared my name with them, so I'm crossing my fingers they can't do anything funny with my identity. I will continue to update this report with emails they have sent me, in time. I sent emails or made calls to EVERY partner on their website and EVERY reference they have listed. So far only one response (never heard of them). I will do my best to update this in time. Not exactly sure how to report this to the authorities (or even which authority), but stay tuned for more updates!

My fraud research thus far below;

 hi i have been in contact with this company and i believe they were advertising on indeed to be honest but cant really remember im almost into my 3rd week of training/screening they had pull together some research and do some market research and create spreadsheets etc thus far so i mean ill see how far it gets before i notice some funny business they did already mention to me there corp location is out of the country and there wanting to expand into the states etc so as far as that goes im probably open minded because ive worked for barclay bank in nevada thats corp location is in uk or londun but ill keep everyone updated if it turns into a scam for whatever reason so far like i mentioned i have been creating market surveys and doing cases they have already prepared apar of there training and or screening as far as numbers and different area codes they can have people working remotely from different locations with different contact information doesnt mean anything at all whatever they decide to disclose is up to them i just wouldnt see why they would have me do all these different cases to just waste time but as i also mentioned if something funny comes up i will be the first to let you guys know

I have been contacted by the same people. They sent me an employee contract and asked me to go through a screening process for a month and then after the screening process I would receive $2500 and a Full-Time Employment Contract for $98,000/year.

Hello Paul,

 

I was too just recently approached by the same people for the same job offer.

I am currently trying to do some reseach regarding the company, and came across your report.

Please let me know anything you find, and if indeed it is a scam.

 

Thank you,
