I found a post on craigslist charlotte for a food beverage server for a corporate airline. They were offering $750-$950 plus full benefits. I called bc it was enticing, but it all seemed so bizarre. As soon as he asked me for half of my airfare money I knew it wasn't the real deal. Its now under (713) 481-1882. He was an older,loud, brusque talker going by the name Ted Danson. Supposedly he worked for a company called novomatic. What a jerk.
Just to keep everyone in the loop. This guy is still out there scamming it up. The job posting came from monster.com. Talked with this guy "Steve Elliot," obviously an alias, for three days about a PM position for construction of 1 of 3 resorts on the Exuma Islands south of Nassau for Novomatic. On day 3 we spoke about an interview and how it would transpire with me taking one of two options. Option one buy the ticket outright myself and be reimbursed upon arrival or option 2, let them handle all the work and pay for half, which would be reimbursed upon arrival. Red flags really didn't start going off until I got back an hour later and did some research to verify legitimacy (should have done this before hand but my excitement about position like this clouded my judgment). All in all I lost $177.00 but it could have been worse....I could have flown all the way to Boston and never met anyone then been out the cost of a round trip ticket.
Things to watch out for:
Names: Steve Elliot, Novomatic, Ted Langley (Regional V.P.), John Page, Purchase half a plane ticket.
Good luck all. If you were scammed don't get to upset about it; it won't do any good and just know he'll get his in the end.
