Warehouse Forklift And Order Puller at Pilot Air Freight

Very skeptical!

I received an email for Warehouse associate by a gentleman, describing the position, receiving and shipping and also that It would be three days out of the week and he would pay me $500 before I start and that would be my salary weekly and that I would be the only one there. But it also said he doesn't live "yet" in the town I live in and that if I was interested to give my full information!! And when I take the position I wasn't going to meet with him either! That he would hand the keys to the warehouse to me some how!! And he even stated that he was very trusting towards anonymous people! Also that we would be in contact only over a cell phone and "SPEAKING" to each other! Out of curiosity I emailed him with out releasing any personal info just first name and my cell number. I politely asked him for his phone number, which he did!! So I called him he wouldn't answer then he replied I can only text. Then he text me send me your info!! Twice!! And we talk about the warehouse position later! (He replied) And i text him back politely wouldn't you like to hear the person that is going to work for you! He text back if your interested send me your info! I text him back what are "WE" gonna be receiving and shipping exactly and what's the company name? He replied ABT! Warehouse associate! But no description! I texted ABT? Stands for what!! So I called him again no answer!! He texted only text! I asked why?? He replied I'm Deaf!! And send me your info! Hhmmm of course I didn't text him back anymore but here is "HIS" name and number Elijah Francis (940)280-3331 please be careful with people like this! I Know I carried it along but I really wanted to see how far he would take it! He really covered every angle to manipulate a person to catch there interest! Especially when your looking for employment! Individual's like this is out to destroy people's lives! Shame on them!! Karma is a mofo!!

Wow Ruben, sounds like you had a close call with a scammer! Anytime it seems too good to be true ($500 before you even start!) that's always a sign that someone's trying to take advantage of you. I refer to this list of the top ten signs of a job scam -- https://www.thebalance.com/top-job-scam-warning-signs-2062181 -- I know you're cautious but it never hurts to learn more about what to look out for!
