I was contacted by Mary Payne, HR Manager of Prime Consulting about a position as a Supply Chain Management Consultant.  Initially, she did not ask for any personal information. Then, she emailed me a job description, job application  (which was not formatted properly), details about a phone interview and instructions on a month-long training assessment program for which I would be paid $2500 if completed. The salary for the position was $102,000.

All of the emails were formal and the lanquage was very similar in each mail. After submitting the job application, I was provided with a training manager, Steve Holmes, who would send me case studies and ask me to make a list of definitions. The case studies were journal articles related to Supply Chain Management that can be easily found on the internet.  

The company's website: is consultingprime.com. It seems legit, but I googled the addresses and you could not tell if a legitimate business was operating at the addresses on the website.

The training manager, Steve Holmes emailed me assignments, but on one of his emails, the company listed was Smart Analysis Consulting, not Prime Consulting. When I researched Smart Analysis Consulting, I found the ripoff report similar to mine.

On one of the emails, there was also a web address to a domain in the Ukraine. When you translated the web pages to English, it was not an active website.

I participated in their training assessment for one week, but there were too many red flags, like phrases in the emails not common to English speaking indiviuals, although they have English names. You only communicated by email, except for the phone interview where an individual with a New York phonen number contacted me, but they didn't have an office listed in New York. Everyone had a generic name, and all of the titles were HR Manager. Plus, the offer was too good to be true although, I'm worth the $102k they were offering.

This company appears to be preying on job seekers and may have found my resume on Indeed, CareerBuilding, Glassdoor or LinkedIn.

Thanks @ Ama — Atlanta Georgia USA for sharing her story,

I got into the same scam around the same period, with same company names and same contacts (Steve Holmes).

This is very valuable to share the story so that other job seekers do not fall into the same traps.

I had initially googled Prime Consulting and the names of my contacts and phone numbers to find if they were not phishy, I had not found any evidence at that time, but when the training manager started to instruct about purchasing Gift Cards, transfering money, playing with Credit Cards, I then started to search again and found you web pages and your reports, first talking about a different company name, but then having a link to a fraud report with same company name like PrimeConsulting.

Thanks for the tips and reports, you saved my day and even more, my bank account and my credit history !

 

Same scam with I think same thieves is reported at http://www.ripoffreport.com/reports/force-business-consulting/nationwide/force-business-consulting-sophisticated-consulting-job-scam-stole-20k-nationwide-1311351.
