ReShipping RePackaging
On Dec. 21, 2022, I received an email from Matthew Kim <[email protected]> with an attached application form. The email basically stated to fill out the application and email it back and an interview would be arranged. Enclosed in the email were attachments for the Candidate Guidelines, Candidate Job Description, and Candidate Presentation. Signed by the Matt Kim, Training and Recruitment Team Human Resource Department (773) 219 1166. Even an inclusion for, "More Helpful Info for Employees" at TheMerchantly.com/help. Compensation would be $1500 base pay per month and $50 per package inspected. The first payment would post within a month and then biweekly payments would be processed. On average, one could make up to $3000/a month. Emphasis was made on this being a side hustle/part-time gig to work at home. And should not be used as your primary source of income. I did not fill out and email my application until 12/25. On 12/27 I was given a link to schedule my interview, which would be via phone for 15-30 mins. I had scheduled for 01/03/23 and was reading more into the website. But as I was reading a few things were not matching and were unclear. Such as the unknown package, whose name to enter on the dashboard. And the actual delivery of the packages; were they to come from Amazon? And texting the inspection report to the supervisor, which was basically a few pictures and 1-2 sentence description of your findings. I was trying to get clarification, so I tried to do a google search and wasn't able to find anything for the Company. I eventually did a Bing search and was able to find one review on ScamAdvisor.com that was for a similiar company by the name of Merchandizely. The entry was basically stating the same thing, an application was sent but the applicant was actually hired and was working for the company for a month. But the applicant never got paid and when the applicant was trying to get some answers, none could be found. The applicant called the Company out as Scammers using people for free labor. So, I dug deeper and looked into their website merchandizely.com and it was the exact same website as themerchant.com. Both websites had a small package in the left corner as their icon and both were headlined as, "The Best Businesses Choose #1 Marketplace Experts", with the exact same graphics and layout. So, I tried to call Matt Kim and the line kept going to a busy signal. So, I went back to the website and strolled down for contact info. And what I did not catch the first time was that the "Small" was misspelled as "Smal", on both websites. And besides the names being different, the locations were both in DE but with different addresses for different States. From my gatherings, it does appear this Company or these Companies are taking on Small Businesses as clients but are using this Work-at-Home platform to find applicants to perform the manual labor for free. I emailed Matt back since I wasn't able to call and advise I was no longer interested. I received a cancellation email for my interview a day later. I did not want to believe this to be a scam because so much dedication was put into the application process and website, which made the company seem legit. The sender's email was from the company's domain. And although it was a general HR email address and not an individual such as [email protected], nor personal, like a Gmail account; it seemed legit. So, I am sending this to just remind job seekers to not buy into emails where the sender is not using a company's domain. Look for grammatical errors in the email, their website if applicable, and even your name. Did they spell your name correctly, did they even use your name or a generic Hi, template? And if it sounds too good to be true, 9 times out of 10, it is.</[email protected]>
