He sent me a job offer from a real company (Tricostar), asked me to make a gmail account, had an online interview, sent me a word document as an employment agreement, and asked me to complete 2 weeks of training. We contacted the actual company and they have no affiliation with this man. No business at all in the US.

I went online to look for jobs in my area and posted my resume and cover letter to a career website. From there I began receiving hundreds of emails about information for jobs looking to hire immediately. I applied to a specific position to a hospital for a clerical position and received a text about a week later with a phone number saying they would like to speak with me concerning the job. Excited for the potential opportunity, I researched the company and did research on how to successfully complete a phone interview. After looking on the company's website and searching for the potential position, I could not locate any available positions with the title I was applying for. I called the number that was texted to me and spoke with an overly eager guy who knew who I was when he answered the phone. He forced several questions through the phone and got me to answer some of them about where I would like to find a job, if my telephone number was correct, and what field I would be most interested in. He said to look for an email and be sure to fill out the information immediately even saying "before midnight" to ensure I would be hired as soon as possible. I told him this felt a little bit odd and that I did not want to be setting myself up in a scam. He responded with "Oh, okay well if you feel like you are being scammed I'm sorry but just look for the emails and good luck with your job search." Not a very satisfying response. I then googled the company and there are hundreds of comments about the company being an overseas scam. Can we shut this company down?
