FORCE Business Consulting Owen Newman, Melissa Powell, Claudia Benoit Professional Scam Geneva, New York New York
I have been victimized by this company FORCE Buisness Consulting, allegedly headquartered in Geneva Switzerland with an office in New York and valid email and website addresses. I initially checked and kept on checking for scam and fraud reports before signing up and sadly, the first one was filed only on 15 June 2016, by then its already too late for me. The company as contacted me by email, as they must have acceessed my information from various job sites I registered to, looking for work. I got a pre-employment offer and got enrolled in paid 5-week Assement Program fo $2500/- with a Practical Project to procure Apple Gift Cards. The modus seemed legit as no bank details or any financial information was required from my end. In fact they issued a temeparary bank account from Sun Trust to be regieterd as a payment to my credit card. It did work as my bank accepted the account and the payment transactions and released my available credit for purchase (which should have not happened if the credit card company performed its due diligence). Today, I got an email that the first 2 payments of U$5000 each ($10,000 in total) apparently were 'unsucessful'. If my credit card will not be able to get this money, then I would end up losing $10,000 on this.
I am new to the U.S. looking for work and to be scammed by such company is an outrage. I am not from the Banking and Finance sector and my commercial knowledge about this is limited. Unfortunately, this is an organozed crime which should be tracked down by the authorities as these people are out there to destroy other people's lives. The banks and credi card companies, including Apple, which somehow benefitted from this should be vigilant in helpful in giving warnings instead of just calling to verify the purchase.
I hope that this help stops the culprits who prey on honest people looking for work to support themseves and their families. BEWARE of scams like this.
