JSM Consulting / Michael Mell / JM Firm Absolute SCAM that preys on the vulnerability of those seeking employment Middleton Wisconsin

As with other reports on RipOff Report, we received a nearly identical email with the same exact scam.

EMAIL 1:

> Hello xxxxx,
>
> I hope you are doing well! I am emailing you regarding the resume you posted online.  I am currently consulting for a couple small businesses and assisting with several business developments in Columbus, OH. After reviewing your resume, I think you would be a good fit for one of the several positions currently available. The primary position currently available is for a full time Benefits Representative, the average starting wage is around $60,000 a year.  I am in the office Friday and was wondering if I could contact you for a five minute phone interview between 1:00-2:00pm? Or is there a better time to call you at 740-616-9780?
>
> Also, just so you know, there are no fees for you to use my service, assisting small businesses in finding qualified top-notch employees is included with my consulting fees which are covered by the business. If you find that these positions are not the right fit for you, no worries, I work with a number of other businesses and I may have another client that is hiring in the near future. Are you only looking for work in the 43147 area? Would you consider other areas?
>
> I look forward to speaking to you!

After a hopeful response, not yet knowing of the scam, the following email was received again:

Thank you so much for the reply message. I was hoping I would have a few moments to talk on the phone but looking at my upcoming schedule I figured I better get some details out to you right away regarding a position one our client's is looking to get filled. Thank you again for your replied message. JSM is committed to helping small and large businesses with all of their needs, specializing in social media marketing. We are not a staffing agency but from time to time we are asked for help with staffing for everything from restaurant staff to office managers.

The company's name is Bendure and Associates. They are a 100% union company that issues out and explains benefits to Labor Unions, Credit Unions and other associations. Bendure and Associates is currently hiring full time Union Benefit Representatives for their Columbus office, which is located at 100 E. Campus View Blvd., Ste. 180, Columbus, OH 43235. I checked with their office manager Patrick and he has openings on Wednesday or Friday at 10:00am to meet in person does this time work for you? I know it would be worth your time as he is looking for a number of people for all types of positions.

Keep in mind we work with businesses all over the United States. If there is a location that would work better for you please let me know.

Please let me know if you are available so I can send you a confirmation and add you to his calendar because it fills up pretty quick, I will also send you a confirmation with directions within 48 hours of you picking a date.

*************************

As you can see, the only change to these emails is the location the are offering the job, which is the location in which you reside. The other report I was reading offered jobs in the Beltsville Maryland area as the person they contacted lived in that area. We live in the Columbus Ohio area and the offer was for Columbus. It is a copy and paste email with ZERO sincerity, as is their employment and honesty prinicpals. Beware.
