How much for one Company website in your area?

Is this company a real one?

  • Hello People, I need your help on identifying if this company is a real one. I have applied this company from a job board website and receive their response on the same day as my application. Then, it has asked me to fill information about my full name, contact information, email and if I'm employed right now. The name of the company is called Hepp Furniture LTD (http://heppfurniture.com/index-2.html) and it's located at 1336 Van Ness Ave, San Francisco,California 94109 and they are planning to open a branch next month in Greater Toronto Area, Canada. And they are offering home training for candidates with any 2 hrs for each day and paid $400 each week with $200 transport allowance. After my 3 weeks training and if I can pass it, I will be employed as a full time worker in their new branch. I have tried the google map to search the given address, but I can't find that company there, not really sure if the company has established after the google map updated. That's one they have sent to me about what I need to do at home "We have scheduled how you will get your pay during the training; you will get payments from our customers each week of the training, all you need do is to get the payments processed at your bank, deduct your weekly pay and send the rest to an information that will be detailed to you." Moreover, the one I am really not sure is they are saying "When a payment is in form of a check or money order, you would be required to get it cashed and send the funds to an information that would be given to you." It is like touchable with money, so it sounds a bit risky. Then, I wonder if anyone can tell me if it is a real one or scam and if I can work with their emailed offer. And if there will be any illegal cases or kidding will happen during the money transactions. Or if there's any number I can call or website I can check if it is a real company. Thank you for your help!

  • Answer:

    This is NOT a job, this is a money laundering scam that can land you in jail How could you possibly train at home to work in a furniture store? And you don't get paid $400/week for 8 hours of work. In a furniture store you would be making close to minimum wage + commission on sales. You would not be making $50/hour No furniture store would EVER ask an employee to receive payments at home or use their own bank account for anything - this is illegal. DO NOT send any information to these criminals and report them to the Anti-Fraud Centre http://www.antifraudcentre-centreantifraude.ca/english/home-eng.html EDIT - you won't go to jail if you don't launder money for them. If you get any checks in the mail either return them to sender unopened or turn them over to your local police. You won't get in trouble if you don't deposit them or wire money

Not even worth betting on whether the next thing they ask for is your bank account details is it? You are suspicious enough to ask on here so walk away! It is a scam as they are going to send you a cheque to bank, then ask you to take yours and send the rest on! Run it past some sites like Hoax Slayer and you will find that you are really at risk if you follow it through.

I got the exact same job offer a few hours ago too! They said the outlet would be opening at bridgeland avenue, toronto. I checked on google maps all along bridgeland and it doesn't look like its opening any kind of furniture store. So disappointing...

Definitely a scam! You should break off all contact with them, you are dealing with criminals.
