GTB Dealership Aimco Group, Aiimco Job Scam Internet
There was a job posted on Indeed.com from GTB Dealership for full and part time receptionist and cashiers. I sent my resume to admin@gtbdealership.com on January 8th. A few weeks later (Jan. 22nd) I received a reply to the email from Ernest Freedman <info@aiimco.com> saying that he was the CFO of Aimco Group. (Notice the email address is spelled aIImco, but the company he claims to be from is AImco - with one 'I'.) Neither of these companies is GTB Dealership.
The email from Ernest Freedman asks for personal information and is obviously a scam. I just wanted to post the info so that people could see it before applying for the GTB Dealership - which doesn't exist. I now see that the indeed posting is in cities all over the US. The email from info@aiimco.com says:
