12486877790 AMER INCOME LIF
A Mrs. Holder wanted me to come in for an interview.  It was not a job that I had been looking for; I'm not the salesperson type of person.

Anyway, she gave me her number to call her back; 248-283-5388 Ext. 112 – Mrs. Holder.

If you look up this number, supposedly it's a scam.

Just received a call with the same script.  AIL located in Troy, MI.  Resume located on careerbuilders.com.   I would assume its the same type of deal like Primerica, which is no good.  No sales for me.

ya Mrs Holder called me aswell. Except she got my number from monster.com This really looks like a scam to me. My field is in cardiac rehab i asked her why i was selected and she said any resume that has health or manager or a few key words gets selected. In short the job is payed based on getting new buisness for them and the person would make a small amount per account. Sounds like a BS job to be

I also got a call, I didn't quite get the name, but it was a female. I am on the verge of getting a degree in Meteorology, so I was like wtf. I asked, "What kind of company are you calling from?" She said AIL or something like that, "We are the largest provider of supplemental benefits." I knew right away it was a sales BS job, so I told her I was taking a couple more classes, then she responded and said, "this is a time intensive job, so there is no room for employment with someone still in school." That was basically the end of the conversation. She got my info from career builder, and I have it for everyone to see, so I expected a call like this eventually.

I received a similar call from this company and she insisted that she has a job for me. I am an engineer and i couldn't see any relevance. Waste of time for me. She said that she got my resume from monster and wanted to know about my last job as I am a good fit. When I asked her how I can be a fit for what her company does that she hanged up saying that I am not a good fit. Go figure....

My call was from a Melissa at ext 105-   I didn't get details but told her I would call her back, looked up the number first and ran across this site.  What a great site this is!!!!    No need for me to call back.

I got a call from Shawn at 248-687-7790.  I told him I didn't have time to talk right now so I said I would call back.  I'm glad I did not call him back, as it seems to be a bogus job that I am not interested in.

Yes,I feel this job is a scam as well!! That was the reason for me running across this site I received a call from Patrick Nhel from 248-687*7790 and was left a message for a position.So yes I return the call and was told that this was a short interveiw over the phone. He inform me that I'm to meet with Brad Ellison on 12/16 at 10:10 am and to dress interveiw ready..Now I'm my field is medical and he told me that he had went over my resume and that they had a position for me.But thanks to this site Thank you but know thank you..

My call came from a lady. They say the initials so fast that you don't know what company is calling. Asked me a bit about my background. Wants me to come in for an interview at 10:00. Now, I'm looking the company up because I am always suspicious of companies that tell me when to come and not what is best for me. thanks for this site.

I got a call at about 9am from a lady who was with A.I.L., a subsidiary of blah blah blah. She said she found my resume on Monster and wanted me to tell her about what I currently am doing and about myself. - Which is why we all have a resume right? First i told her that she woke me up because I WORK 2ND SHIFT. (on my resume)  When I finished my description she said they had a managment training position for me and asked if i was interested. I asked "is it in automotive?"  "No." "Then no, bye."  Could be a scam where they try to get you to give your SS# for a background check but then steal your life? Or they send you to the ghetto and take your wallet & interview cloths.

got call from said he was checking benificiary on my insurance...wanted to come to the house to give details on plan

I'll tell you its a real job, but it is sales and if you can't do that then this isn't for you.

Just because they recruit all the time, is because lazy people put their resumes up to be contacted. Set them to private if you don't want just any job. Oh and quit whining, when you have your phone number posted like that expect a call.

Just saying.

GOT A CALL YESTERDAY, GOOGLE'D THE NUMBER THAT LEAD ME TO THIS SITE. I DONT ANSWER UNKNOWN CALLERS.. IF ITS IMPORTANT, THATS WHAT VOICEMAILS ARE FOR, IN WHICH NO MESSAGE WAS LEFT.

THANKSS

Same here received a call for interview,but did not get the Company,s name so  called the number on my cell. that I received call from 248-679-7790 that number was no good .call came from Novi, called the other number 248-687-7790 could not get any one to answer.

I have no resume posted on any career site and I recieved a call from this number with no message left. I guess I know now that this is a scam/ crap job. I have no idea why they would be calling me...

EMPLOYMENT SCAMS


Identity Thieves Prowling for Job Seekers
Fake job ads up 345% as recession creates opportunities for scam artists
http://www.consumeraffairs.com/news04/2009/03/job_scams.html

March 9, 2009

With the unemployment rate rising and living costs going up, more people are looking for new jobs or second jobs. These are ideal conditions, it turns out, if you’re an identity thief.
Job seekers will register with employment agencies, check employment ads, mail out unsolicited resumes, network, post resumes on job search sites and search Craigslist.
In fact, the UK Association for Payment Clearing Services which tracks the prevalence of fake job ads said that fake ads are up 345 percent over the past three years. Unfortunately identity thieves are taking advantage of these uncertain economic times to scam job seekers and gather personal identifying information.
The Identity Theft Resource Center offers these tips:


• Protect your Social Security Number by limiting how many people see it. Never put your SSN on a resume. Let a company ask for it when they consider you a serious applicant. To minimize your risk, you also may want to not list your home address and just put your city and state on the resume.


• Consider opening a separate email account for your job search and keeping your primary email address private. Placing your email address on a resume could open the door to spam and phishing, account verification, and other email scams. (The recent Monster.com breach exposed resumes and email addresses. If you had placed your Social Security number or home email address on your resume, you could have made yourself a target.)


• Check out a company you found on a website carefully before giving them your information, for example Craig’s List. Anyone can create a website, but it doesn’t mean that they are a real company. You can find information on a company through the Better Business Bureau or the State Attorney General where the company is located. You can also Google the business to find out more about them. Most reputable companies will have a significant presence on the Internet, not just a few mentions.


• Avoid any website that requires you to “pre-register” with your SSN, home address or driver’s license number. Also, you should not be required to prepay to view job listings. Both these requirements are strong indicators of a scam.


• Update your computer security prior to emailing resumes and receiving email correspondence. Making sure your computer security is currently updated against viruses, Trojans, and other types of computer malware can help to protect you from any intrusion in an attachment you might receive.



• Make sure the person who contacted you actually works at the listed company and is not someone who has posted a job pretending to be part of a company. Does the URL address include the name of the company? If not, who actually sent it? Call the company involved, and ask for the Human Resources Department. Some companies recommend not responding via email to any person asking for more information, but rather to call the company directly. Rarely does a company hire someone sight unseen.


• Be wary of some common job scams. Avoid any company, especially a foreign company that wants to hire you as a “payment representative “or” accounts receivable clerk.” This scam indicates that you get to keep a percentage of all checks or money orders you place in a bank account for them. Do not open a bank account for a company. You will be the responsible party should any money laundering occur, or if checks bounce. This is called a “money mule scam.”

Another scam is to notify you that you are one of the finalists for a job, and they need your Social Security number to do a background check. If you have not had a face-to-face interview with the company, you should be very skeptical. No one gets a job based on a resume alone.
Finally, watch out for the “work-at home” scams, especially those that ask you to “forward” packages you receive to a third party. That package may contain stolen goods or illegal drugs. There is rarely need to have a private party as a “freight forwarder.”
The safest ways to job search are to use local want ads, visit the unemployment office, use temp employment services, tell friends and family about your search, and network via professional groups and business acquaintances. When contacting a local company you can meet them, see the facilities, and ask acquaintances in that industry about their reputation. Consider not contacting foreign companies, especially those from Nigeria, Russia and third world countries.

Should you decide to use the Internet, ITRC strongly recommends that you read the safety tips on job seeking websites and report any suspicious posting to the website concerned.

Florida Probes Eight Firms For Alleged Employment Scams
Suspected of exploiting desperate job-seekers
February 17, 2010

The ads make it sound easy; let the advertised firm train and place you in a new job, or set you up in a work-at-home business that will triple your income. It hardly ever works out that way, however.
Now, the State of Florida has issued subpoenas to eight firms suspected of running employment or work-at-home scams.
"Unemployed Floridians are particularly vulnerable to scams that falsely promise quick fixes for people who are jobless," said Florida Attorney General Bill McCollum. "With the unemployment rate in Florida at record highs, we need to be vigilant in our efforts against people looking to capitalize on someone else's difficulties."
One of the firms receiving a subpoena is Career Services International, based in Orlando. McCollum's office is investigating allegations that the company misrepresents available services and collects fees for those services, but fails to provide them. Consumers have complained that the quality of service was not what the company had promised and indicated problems with missed deadlines, untrained employees, and lack of advertised expertise.
Federal-State Crackdown
The subpoena is one of a series issued over the past several months targeting employment scams and was announced today to highlight the office's joint enforcement effort with the Federal Trade Commission (FTC)and several other states. Seven other Florida companies have also received subpoenas investigating potential violations of Florida's Deceptive and Unfair Trade Practices Act. Allegations include misleading or deceptive marketing of work-from-home opportunities as well as job placement services and other Internet business ventures.
The other firms under investigation include:

• Coretech Media LLC, doing business as Netcadetpro.com and Net Money Training, located in St. Petersburg; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices related to home business opportunity kits advertised over the internet

• Darling Angel Pin Creations, Inc., located in Brandon; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving work at home job opportunity

• GC Displays, Inc., doing business as Atlanticpacificonline.com, located in Clearwater; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving job placement services

• Home Biz Ventures, LLC, doing business as Bidfuel.com and Blogtoolkit.com, located in Clearwater; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving internet business opportunity which offers on-line membership access to training and products to sell on auction sites

• My Career Corp., Inc., located in Tampa; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving job placement services

• Pacific Webworks, Inc., located in Salt Lake City, Utah; Investigation of unfair and deceptive trade practices involving work from home opportunities

• Viable Marketing Corp., located in Seminole; Unauthorized recurring charges associated with negative option "work at home" internet business opportunity

McCollum says consumers should be wary of any company offering employment positions that require little or no education but claim to pay high wages, companies that charge an up-front fee for their services or products, companies that offer "memberships" to internet-based employment opportunities, and any other opportunity that sounds too good to be true.

FTC Cracks Down on Jobs Con Artists
Scams prey on Americans left jobless by the recession


By James Limbach
ConsumerAffairs.com
February 18, 2010

The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) has launched a new crackdown on con artists who are preying on unemployed Americans.
The fraudsters utilize job-placement and work-at-home scams, promoting empty promises that they can help people get jobs in the federal government, as movie extras, or as mystery shoppers; or make money working from their homes stuffing envelopes or assembling ornaments.
As part of the law enforcement sweep, dubbed "Operation Bottom Dollar," the FTC has filed seven cases against the operators of deceptive and illegal job and moneymaking scams. In addition, the sweep includes 43 criminal actions by the Department of Justice, many involving the substantial assistance of the U.S. Postal Inspection Service.
The agency also announced partnerships with the online job placement service Monster.com, the search engine Bing and the centralized network of online communities Craigslist to help job seekers recognize job scams so they can avoid being victimized. Monster, Careerbuilder, Bing and Craigslist will display FTC consumer education material to people who are using the companies' Web sites to look for jobs.
"Federal and state law enforcement officials will not tolerate those who take advantage of consumers in times of economic misfortune," said David C. Vladeck, Director of the FTC's Bureau of Consumer Protection. "If you falsely advertise that you will connect people with jobs or with opportunities for them to make money working from home, we will shut you down. We will give your assets to the people you scammed, and, when it's appropriate, we'll refer you to criminal authorities for prosecution."
To help consumers avoid being conned by employment scams, the FTC has produced a new consumer education video in English and Spanish.

Just got a call from her this morning. this is the 10th time they have contacted me through email and phone. They have also been calling a friend who checked it out and it sounds like bs to me.

Thanks they wanted me to come in for an interview thursday, I guess I will avoid this job i dont need to waste my time.  I was wondering why I could not get any information from them when I asked them.

They got me hooked by acting like this wa an interview offer than closing the call when I seemed a little disinterrested.  I turned my attitude around from the beginning of the call somehow wanting to hear the pitch; thinking I would miss something.  The offer started as a management position in an office on tower drive.  It seemed exciting.  

Then I checked the internet and I noticed the same script I heard on the phone in so many blogs with posts across the nation.  The company uses an achieved script to get the person in with the management role, switch to a sales position with a management rationale, and get some of the people who fell for the hook to pull out the bucks.  

They can take 10 or 11 angry people who show up and turn them around using predeterimed script, a bait and switch tactic, and a painful rite of entry (the fee).  Once that rite of entry is submitted the motivation is driven, not from sales, but to get that money back.  Some, who are comfortable telling this lie, push it a little further than their own money redemption.  All during that period when the victim just shelled out the money to cover the courses, licensing, with the faith that somethign good will happen next.  Those who are dragged in are hurt the  most.

This is MLM Bait and Switch.  They start you as a manager, and then you become a salesman.  When you ask questions about the management role, they play the managmenet duties scripts a few times to stop you from arguing, but those $500 dollar fees outside of the licensing are what is paying that guy's rent for the building.  Dont do it.

I have never posted my resume anywhere online and I have a brand new number but they still managed to call me.

I do not understand how they got it.

I let it go to voicemail and the didn't leave a message.
