Description
I was called about a job offer regarding front desk work. I was asked if I could come to an interview the next day, to bring my ID, resume, and $150 in cash. When I was interviewed I was told about a certification program I would have to complete before being eligible for work placement. The 150 in cash was a deposit for the training, the total cost being $499. I was led to believe I would be OSHA/CPR certified and was asked to bring the remainder of the cash to an orientation on Tuesday, October 10th. I was told that the location of the orientation would be given to me day of. During this exchange, I did not receive anyone's full name, and when I asked my interviewer for his card, he instead gave me his number and the name "Mr. Stevens". The office looked as though it was cheaply staged and there was no business name printed on the entrance, nor did the front desk have cards or business information.
