Description

I was offered a WFH role inspecting packages. While I'm aware such scams exist, I withheld judgement after reviewing the company's website and a few key things I use to identify scams never occurred (never asked me for money up front, had an actual onboarding process with dedicated training, I actually received several packages that contained valuable items, email accounts matched up with names and so on). The beginning of the job would be a 30 day contract "probationary period" where I would receive less packages than normal, wasn't entitled to the bonuses mentioned in the training, and would receive a check in the mail. Following the probationary period, after reviewing my work, I would be contacted to continue as a FTE for the company as opposed to a contractor. I was instructed that it could take up to 7 business days for the check, and 10 days to hear back from HR about coming on full time if my performance was satisfactory. I waited 12 business days (18 days) to hear back from HR and receive my check. Neither of those things happened.
