Description

I applied for a Shipping Associate position with a company called The Red Cart USA on Indeed. On August 2nd, I received a text and email from Ingrid Troy (214)-817-0229 about scheduling an interview and to offer me the position. She informed that I would be receiving packages to be shipped out to customers and would be paid biweekly pay plus bonuses for every successful delivery. There were also VIP packages that you would have to pick up from the FedEx and have them shipped within 24 hours for $100 bonus for each successful delivery. The pay was $3500 for the first month plus bonuses because of a probationary period and after that month you would be paid biweekly. After accepting the offer, I was notified of all my supposedly managers: Manager Adelle Shelby Direct line: (214) 646-9743 Email: [email protected] Incoming Packages Supervisor Janine Roberts Direct line: (214) 646-9741, (214) 771-9067 Email: [email protected], [email protected] Outgoing Packages Supervisor Drew Osborne Direct line: (214) 646-9619 Email: [email protected] I was then scheduled orientation with Janine Roberts. She called me August 7th and we talked about the employee dashboard to document information about the packages. You had to take pictures of the merchandise and receipt for confirmation of drop offs. You had to sign in to the dashboard 7 days a week. I picked up and shipped four packages for them. By the fifth one, FedEx managers started to question who the packages were for and wouldn't let me pick up the package. I informed Janine Roberts and she said it's ok don't worry about it. My expected pay day was Saturday, September 14th. I texted Janine Roberts on September 13th and asked for how long the process time for direct deposit. I got no response, but Adelle Foster me the same day and said I get paid Monday September 16th in the morning because of the weekend. I never got paid that morning so I texted Janine Roberts again and still got no response. I texted Drew Osborne and he sent me this " Good morning! Your salary is scheduled for release between 3-5 PM. A performance evaluation will be conducted on your 30th day (Today) of employment to assess eligibility for a salary increase. Once you are regularized, the HR and Accounting Department will review and confirm your benefits package, which includes: Paid Leave Birthday Leave Medical and Dental Benefits Group Life Insurance (forms and coverage details to follow)" I still didn't get paid. I tried logging into the fake employee dashboard https://portal-trcus.com/login and would not let me sign in and have invalid credentials error repeatedly. I tried again and the website had a 500 Internal Server Error. I repeated called and texted these people and have got no response. They have copies of my identification card, address, email, social security number, and banking information because they had everything so well put together from the W9 form for tax information to direct deposit. PLEASE BE CAREFUL OF THESE PEOPLE AND ANYONE ASSOCIATED WITH THIS FAKE SCAMMING COMPANY!!!
