Description

My son was told he would be employed by Blair Consulting Group to canvas the Charlotte North Carolina area prior to 2024 election. He arrived in North Carolina at 7ish (his ticket was paid) and was not given any information on where he would stay, when he would start work. He was told to text the “project manager” for his itinerary. He was texting an unknown number asking about hotel details and was asked “Who is this?” He waited in the airport 2-3 hours and text multiple times. Finally calling and was told he’d be staying at an Embassy Suites. Still no information on who he was speaking to, when he’d start work, what city he’d be working in near Charlotte. We advised him to text back that he felt uncomfortable with the lack of information he was given. A person named Abby texted him back a threatening message that she would ruin his future political career and smear his name. She then said he would have to pay for his flight, Uber & Hotel and he’d be sued! He never left the airport and didn’t use the Uber or check into the hotel. I believe it was a scam, I feel when he questioned their lack of details, they realized they had been caught and chose to threaten him. We booked him a hotel for the night and paid for a flight back home.
