So i have been out of work for months since a layoff last August. Ive signed up with multiple job and career social outlets that assist me with job alerts and job submissions. I can count the hundreds of resumes ive sent out thus applying for a countless jobs and positions. With no job, spiraling debt, bill mounds, and life's responsibilities, I was reluctant to take a job offer that was extended to me via email. With my back against the wall i decide to take a job that allows you to work from home. The company seemed legit after researching it. They sent me paper work through email getting all of my personal and financial info for direct deposit and so forth. Completed W2 forms and signed company documents about responsibilities etc... So im completely nervous of course., scared out of my mind asking myself 'can i really take a job where i only work from home'? The initial challenge of not having a home was striking. So finding a local library where i can work the neccessary hours was exactly what i would have to do if i wanted to get back on my feet financially. So the company reaches out to me and ask me to do a research paper; and another within a couple of days later. My initial thoughts were they are trying to see if i can be trusted and competent enough for the position. They praise me for my efforts. Said the research papers were great and i was exactly what their company needed. Now im saying to myself, 'Hey, I can do this job, not bad at all...'! So the company sends me a check to purchase my work materials.., labtop, 4 way printer, desk filer, etc... I deposit the checks into my account only to withdraw it to place funds into a business account for materials to be later shipped to my address. The company contacts me and says that the materials needed for the job are no longer in stock so i would need to upgrade my materials to start training in the coming days. The next check they send to cover working materials was worth $9,000... long story shorter.., the bank closes my account and later informs me that the company checks that i have been placing into my account were counterfeit and my account would be closed due to the matter. So with my back up against the wall, i take a job because it was the only thing available and offered. I had No money, no help, no leads, no call backs after awesome interviews, no real consideration after over 300 job submissions..., and the one job opportunity that comes my way is some gut wrenching crew that committed fraud on my behalf unwillingly and unknowingly. I felt duped and violated, how stupid could I be to not see it dangling in my face. Being desperate during desperate times created to much of a smoke screen for me to decipher the intangibility of it all. So after laying my soul down to a company in which i thought they were the KION group, ive been left with a closed bank account with a negative balance along with a hefty police report to sort through as i pray that i can actually find a real job that actually pays me money as oppose to stealing the only thing i have left in life at the moment.., my name and integrity.
