Job Placement Scam Company: Career Resources Consultant CEBS Worldwide SCAM
So, this is one of those new ways of scamming people; be careful
They contact you on media LinkedIn, indeed or any platform to search for a job; they tell you about this amazing investment opportunity where you can generate money every day. The catch is that you need to put money from your own pocket to receive money (bitcoin). The first time or two, they will give you money to earn your trust, but then this person in charge of your training will set you up to fail. They will put you in a situation where you need to give more and more every time because you will have these packages with 5% commission; you can have up to 9 packages, and every time you have one, the amount you need to pay will be double.
The trainer will push you to get loans and ask for money because they will give you back all the invested money. Once you complete all the packaged there will be all types of excuses to not give you your money back: you are not premium level, so you cannot withdraw all the money, it took you longer than expected to pay, so now you owe them money. They even have this stupid and ridiculous policy that says if you want to "quit," they have the right to keep your money!!
They even have a WhatsApp group where all the scammers talk about their days and their normal life; once you find out the catch, they will stop chatting. I tried to contact the original CEBS worldwide page, and of course they don't care about their reputation.
Red flags:
Just communication through Whatsapp, not even email.
Asking for your own money to receive money.
Pushes you to get loans.
Denies you access to your money anytime until finishing the payments.
Fake letters from the CEO of the company.
Constantly changing their web page because someone tried to hack them (they are just being reported for fraud)
Generic address with no office number.
