webone company Ashley Novick Career Builder SCAM! Irving, Internet

Two-three weeks ago I received an email from someone by the name of Ashley Novick through career builders notifying me of a position with their company called WebOne.  On their website www.webonecompany.com  they listed that they have been in business since 2005, but when you look up their IP address in the whois database you can tell that website was created at the end of May 2012 by Linda Owens who is supposedly the President of the company.  I have to say that this has been the best looking scam I have ever come across because their website has all the bells and whistles that would make it seem like they are a legitmate business. 

To continue with my story, through a series of emails they sent me an employee agreement with a w-4 offering me a position with the company.  Everything seemed pretty smooth being set up in a separate portal to get my daily tasks, then things got weird when the first task was sent.  They sent a brief questionnaire asking me about western union and the limits in my bank accounts.  I should have known then that this was a huge red flag, but I ignored it and just thought maybe they were who they said they are.  Then I would go a couple of days not hearing from them but have these crazy documents loaded into the portal about customer service and the position. 

Yesterday they sent me a message alerting me that $2995 was deposited into my account and that instructions would be sent via the portal on how to send the funds via western union to Ukrain.  Of course I did not feel comfortable with this and emailed them.  About every hour I started receiving a phone call from this woman named Natalie who wanted to check the status of the funds transfer and I kept warding her off because I wanted to do some more research on internet and nigerian scams.  I kept the funds in there and alerted my bank that there was fraudulent activity.  I filed an IC3 complaint and a police report and now the police are involved and working the case. 

Now Ashley Novick has been sending me threats saying that his relative works for the FBI and that he is going to find me and call all my family and neighbors and tell them what a little criminal I am.  Oh yea he was also going to call the police department in Irving, Texas and the "client's" precinct in New York,NY and also file an IC3 report.  I already got the jumpstart on him.  He also stated that the next time he would see me would be in my police precinct  or in court to take back the clients money in which he claimed I stole. Oh and that the police should have shiny handcuffs for me.  He then went on to call me stupid and narrow minded and how I should be ashamed of myself.  If you ask me a "professional company" would not come across like that. 

I know this is a lot to say, but I urge you to please stay away from this company.  The police department let me know that this was a major scam.  I also dug up some information from the BBB that they are not accredited and a big alert stating that this company has been pretending to be some card processing company.  I mean seriously how stupid can these scammers be to threaten someone else for a crime they committed.  I know this is so much to read, but I just want people to know to be very careful, watch out for all the red flags and take the necessary steps of action to protect yourself from people like this Ashley Novick.
