Buy Best Fly and Barton Raub Group Scam

[ecrisher]

I initially received a phone call from Buy Best Fly Co. wanting to hire me as a customer service rep. then they told me that I would be the Operations Manager. I was initially contacted by Sarah Jackson then told I would be trained by Kevin Jacobs. Here is one of the emails that I received:

Greetings Erica,

We are excited to start our working experience with you and will be aimed at trying to deliver the most support from our team.

This week will be a probation period. During this time we will introduce you basic information about aircraft transportation. Also you need to look over the clients agreement, to be prepared for working with clients.
The agreement can be found in the attachments to this email.

When working with corporate customers it is vital that the information on the services that we provide will be delivered to them correctly. That is the reason we require our employees to research the air-travel market very responsibly. Attached to the email is a booklet an the information that corporate customers may be seeking from air-travel companies like the one we are representing.

The next two days are given to you solely for the purpose of accurately going through the agreement and researching the services and any questions-answers in the air-traveling field.

We will ask you to perform a survey in two days time to see if you are ready to provide the best customer representative services for Buy Best Fly.

We are here to answer any questions and offer any support for you from 8 to 5 pm EST.

Regards,

Kevin Jacobs
Production Manager

is this scam they called me also

Did you have an interview? What email address did he use? Does the company have a website?

I wouldn't touch this mess with a 10 foot pole.

-We have a company with no legitimate web presence and no verifiable credentials.
-They are offering a "manager" position to someone whose only contact has been online or by phone.
-They switched to that "position" from a completely unrelated position that would require very different credentials.
-Their English is poor at best.

Googling their phone number leads to this listing:
http://www.thinklocal.com/SoltakGroupLTD-18111332.html

Checking out that company name leads to a website that is also full of red flags:

Domain Name: SOLTAKGROUP.COM
Registrar: FASTDOMAIN, INC.
Whois Server: whois.fastdomain.com
Referral URL: http://www.fastdomain.com
Name Server: NS1.BLUEHOST.COM
Name Server: NS2.BLUEHOST.COM
Status: clientTransferProhibited
Updated Date: 28-mar-2013
Creation Date: 28-mar-2013
Expiration Date: 28-mar-2014

Hiding their registrant details, what a surprise...

Registrant Info: (FAST-18446881)

Domain Privacy Service
1958 South 950 East
Provo, Utah 84606
United States

Their "blog" page shows blogs published as far back as 11/10/2012. That is pretty remarkable, considering the fact that the website was registered in 2013. I'd like to learn how to travel back in time myself.

The "company address" is an apartment building.
And a quick google shows that this website is one of many copies under different names.

is this scam they want to work for them get back

[Dotti]

I am not really sure how to make this any more clear when I've already said I wouldn't touch it with a 10 foot pole.

THERE IS NOTHING LEGITIMATE ABOUT THAT OFFER.

I have also removed your email address again. Publicly posting your email on a public forum in a post suggesting vulnerability to a scam is going to lead to a whole lot of other attempts to scam you.
