I'm well educated, with a long work history, but currently unemployed. I was contacted via phone by a Melissa Powell, Force Business Consulting HR Assistant, who had apparently seen my resume on Career Builder and thought I would be a great fit for their Sr. Business Consultant position. Force is headquartered in Switzerland, with offices in other major cities and recently expanded to NY, so looking to expand in healthcare supply chain management consulting nationwide. They set up a phone interview then sent me a detailed description of their paid 5 week Pre-Employment assessment program to enable both parties to ensure there is a good fit. They even sent a contract for the Assessment program. This was followed by high quality, very technical documentation to assess my knowledge of Supply Chain Management, including a test.
Since I did so well on the test (100%), they wanted me to move to a more practical assignment, sourcing the equipment for our new local TN office. They provided an official Purchase Order listing 5 current Apple laptops with target prices and wanted me to see if I could find any additional savings, which I did. They then approved the purchase. She then sent me an email stating I need to have a CC with at least 1k on it, I informed her that I have been out of work for a year and just filed chapter 13 and could not do that. She did send me case number 5 and I completed it and sent it back in. and have heard nothing bback from them. Then today I sent an email still no reply so was looking up thier web site again and it is gone
I did see some fraud reports that brought mee here

They are actually based in the Ukraine (per Scamadviser), which is a country identified as high risk for online scams. Their website is only 55 days old and is only valid for 1 year. Why? Do they not plan on being around long? All that aside, asking a person to buy electronics/giftcards, etc. is unfortunately, a common scam that preys on the unemployed. I truly feel bad for people who fall for this BS.
