5Star Concierge LLC New York Personal Assistant Position for a Concierge Company for VIP's Manhattan, New York
Looking for a job on the internet I found a position for a personal assistant for a company named '5 Star Concierge'. I was hired immediately (should have been my first clue) and my first assignment was researching limo companies in my area. I finished this assignment and my next assignment was to find a sculpture of a mother and child made from mammoth tusk and obsidian base. My Supervisor, Jamie Bountres, even gave me the e-mail of the art gallery to contact to see if they had a duplicate copy of this sculpture that a client had purchased and accidentally broken and wanted to buy another one. The e-mail address of the art gallery is [email protected]
I contacted the art gallery and lo and behold they had one more copy left! I turned in this assignment to Jamie and she was just gushing in her next e-mail that the client was soooo happy to buy another one. My next assignment from her was to purchase this sculpture, unfortunately the art gallery would only take a Western Union payment and I would need to give 5Star Concierge my bank account number so the corporation could wire $8,200 into my bank account (plus another $300.00 bonus for me for doing such a GREAT job!) and then I was to pay the art gallery. I finally got the picture that this was a scam. I got out before giving them any more information. But I wasted a lot of time doing research for this company when I need to be job hunting.
Please watch out for this company.

I am a victim of the same scam, except now they call themselves Assistants100.com.
It seemed legit with their web site and all. I did get somewhat weary when I called looking for the answer to a question and my supervisor, Daniel Goldberg never called me back just replied 3 days later by email saying great job, already forwarded your work to client heres your next assignment - find the lady/child scuplture.
In searching the net for this figurine, I came across this site THANK YOU !!! I will be forwarding the original complaint agst this company which went by the name of '5 Star Concierge' and see if I ever hear back from 100 Assistances again.
