This starts out as a job offer with a month long training period for a  new office , your being given study material each day and a test each Friday. At the end of the 4th week you are given an extensive exam to qualify for the job.

In the third week you are given an extra credit project to supply their Hong Kong office with IPhones, This is where the scam kicks in monetarily.

Scam Kicks in Day 1

AUTHOR: Jim - (United States)

POSTED: Wednesday, November 06, 2019

Dude, I've seen the e-mail; it's been posted here on this site before - the offer letter legally isn't an offer letter no matter what they tell you.  If you look closely at the letter they sent you, the grammar is also off. 

This isn't because they are in a foreign country.  It's because their translation software isn't quite right.  If you got taken in by something like this, then you should not be accepting a home based job - seriously.  T

hey're all pretty much scams, but this one is obvious.  In addition, if they didn't pay during the training period, then that's also illegal as well everywhere in this country....if you weren't paid, then the scam really began on Day 1.

The phone thing should have been the real kicker that should have told you everything was phony.  Think about this:  why would a large multi-national company, with a large administrative department, need someone to buy phones to send to Hong Kong? 

Apple isn't just some local company; Apple is also a multi-national company with offices around the world that can drop ship i-phones, i-pads, Macs, and any other device anywhere in the world within 1-2 days if needed.  The notion they need YOU to do anything like this not only defies logic, it should have told you this company could not even afford to buy i-phones on its own. 

The question then becomes this:  Why do they need for you to finance their operation...at all?  If they need for you to front their company money for i-phones, then how can they afford to pay bills?  How about payroll?  How does that make any sense??

Even the premise of the new office in Hong Kong is ridiculous - it takes weeks to negotiate new offices in buildings around the world.  Telling you this was all done suddenly and they somehow did all of this without anyone in any administrative function knowing about this to send phones to Hong Kong.....?? 

I mean administrative people negotiate leases - they couldn't have Apple drop ship phones and then pay for the phones in 30-60 days?  That's how these businesses operate.  They don't need you to buy a phone on your credit - they can simply buy the phone on their own credit.

If you believed any of this, then you understand nothing about how a large business operates.  This was a complete scam from the start....and as I said, you should not be working for a company from home if you believed any of this....
