Complaint Review: Supira Medical LLC. - Los Gatos California

A regular text message was sent to me asking if I was interested in a position posted on Indeed. they asked if I had Signal messenger to receive all the job information and communication. They gave me an interview code and started the communication with "Hiring Manager Evelyn Doyle".

Job briefing was via Signal Private Messaging. Asked for the name, phone number, and location. They sended the job requirements and a briefing of the company with the company site address https://supiramedical.com. all the position requirements were listed and offered a $25.00 p/h pay during training and $27.00 p/h when starting the job after 2 weeks of training. 

Work either full or part-time at your own pace and schedule as long as the 35 - 20 hours are completed. A series of 16 general experience and interview questions were sent. No personal information is required. Once completed the next day score result was provided and the position was offered with benefits, bonuses, and so on. An offer letter was sent to collect a signature. It was a simple letter. 

A payment for setting up a home office was offered for me to deposit the check electronically and then pay a private vendor when the fund is available.  Once the equipment was programmed and sent the remaining information an immediate supervisor will be meeting via Zoom or Skype with all the remaining details or answers to my questions. a list of the equipment was sent as long as a cashier checks to my name for the amount of $ 2,150.81 from TD Bank.

After that, they kept asking how long does it take for the funds to be available. Then started for the next 3 days giving me follow-ups regarding this fund's availability. How much is it available to use? Send me a screenshot of the status of the check.  The company couldn't wait for so long since the equipment had to be programmed and sent quickly for training. The company decided to send the equipment today but I was REQUIRED to make a payment of $500.00 to the vendor for the programming.  I will be having the funds back once the check clears. I declined. I asked why this step of programming and buying equipment for the company did not make it before hiring personnel, and the answer is:

There has been some issue with employees who got software locally that did not work and can't be returned. That's the reason they gave a check to purchase from a private vendor. 

On the third day asking if the funds are clear and aked for another screenshot about the check status. Third day again the same questions, now the company decided to mail out the equipment but the private vendor that installs the software needs a payment that will cost me  $150.00 funds will get them back once the check is available. Again I declined the proposal.  Then they asked me how much I can afford $50.00 I decided agarin. 

Now the same day afternoon the programs and equipment were ready but now a tracker will have to be installed this tracker will cost me $70.00 again will be reimbursed and also the company will be giving me a $50.00 hiring bonus (that wasn't in the original offer or ever mentioned this just came up). Again I've declined to pay for anything. 

The next morning I check my account and the check is returned as altered / fictitious. 

Validated the checks route number for TD bank and it does not match any of the routes. the phone number on signal private messenger is a scam from the indeed job search portal.
