I am the owner of Arcevia Services. This business exists in the UK only but is open to international clients. No work-from-home jobs have ever been offered, in the UK or USA or any other part of the world, nor will they be in the future. There are no branches in the USA and there are no plans to open any now or in the future.
I do not know anyone called 'Mrs Pamela Feast'. All emails sent via Arcevia Services always end with arcevia.com.
This scam has affected the reputation of Arcevia Services so I feel I am a victim of this scam, too. The people behind this scam used the Arcevia Services name and the website to rip people off, to make it seemd genuine, and I am sorry for those who ended up becoming victims of it. There are genuine testimonials on the website to show that Arcevia Services is a legitimate business.
It seems that the victims were all in the USA. I was contacted by some of them asking for more information. They were informed by me that there were no work-from-home jobs. I obtained details from them about where/how they were approached. There were listings in craigslist, which I immediately reported to be taken down. Soon after, the scam seemed to have ended.
The website does now state that no work-from-home jobs are offered. At the time of the scam, it said that there were no vacancies. Such job offers should always be avoided as they are almost always too good to be true. You shouldn't have to pay to work.
If anyone comes across one of these fake job offers in the future, please contact me and I will try to sort it out.
