Description
I was contacted via email about an open position with the company. I was in contacted by phone for an over the phone interview. Was given the job. Was sent a contract that stated exactly what the job entailed how much I would be making and exactly what I was supposed to do for the job. I was then led to a dashboard where I had to set up an account in order to be able to do the job. I set the account up as soon as I received my first package I done what was told to me per my training and the training emails that were sent to me. I was told it would take 30 days in order for me to get paid. I waited said 30 days and on that 30th day the company deactivated my account thus robbing me of a full month of pay that was calculated by the number of packages in which I received and re-shipped. The amount that I was guaranteed in pay was $4300 for base pay plus an additional $1200 as a bonus equaling $5200 for the month. I was told that a email with the paystub would be sent to me and on the day of I kept calling about the email that was supposed to be sent. I logged in worked and by 12 PM that day my login was disabled, and none of the moving factors that I was given would answer. I tried to list all of the telephone numbers that I was given. I tried to also upload all the emails that were used in order to contact me or I was given in order to be contacted through by manager and supervisor. All numbers have been disconnected and are no longer in use.
