I was recruited via CareerBuilder.com by James Forrest in mid-May to work as a Distribution Assistant for Abram Logistics Ltd. I was to be a remote employee trained by Michael "Mike" Wood to receive, check, repackage and ship parcels overseas in undamaged boxes.
I was to be available to receive parcels from 8:00 am until 7:00 pm M - F. My base salary was $2300 per month, with $15 bonuses for every item I received in a timely manner. Any expenses I incurred, i.e., boxes, tape, paper, were to reimbursed to me as well once receipts were submitted.
I was also responsible for keeping and e-mailing to Mike a Distribution Assistant Monthly Report detailing what parcels I had received, when I had received them, etc.
I was to work 30 days before receiving my pay and my probation was also 30 days.
I performed every task as specified, often walking a mile-and-a-half with heavy, bulky boxes through treacherous neighborhoods to the post office, to ensure that the parcels were sent out in a timely manner. (I desperately needed this job.)
At the end of the 30-day period, June 24th, I was not allowed to send in my monthly report because Mike delayed my final shipments until June 29th. He also never e-mailed me back when I requested a fax number for my receipts.
Once I was finally allowed to send in my monthly report, I heard nothing more from Mike. I have e-mailed him and Abram Logistics. I have also made numerous calls and left several messages, with no return call whatsoever.
Now I am out of hundreds of hours, thousands of dollars ($3,325), and my identity may now belong to someone else, and my bills are over-, over-due!!
It is a brilliant scheme, and they have most likely moved on to someone else!!!
