The person from Arizona. Force got my resume from Monster and talked to me about a consulting position and the steps I needed to take to get the position. I have spent about 5 total hrs. doing what they asked

taking case studies and a test what a suprise I got 100% on the test. They then asked me to purchase 5 computers for a newly opening office and that they would send me the money to purchase the products. I just recieved 10 pages of how this should be done. Really looks like it is legit. NOT. I called my credit card company and discussed the situation. Then decided to take a look at this report and it is the same scam that they pulled on the lady in Arizona. At least I am not out any money. Hopefully someone can stop these wonderful people from scamming those of us that are working hard at getting employment.

I have been victimized by this company FORCE Buisness Consulting, allegedly headquartered in Geneva Switzerland with an office in New York and valid email and website addresses. I initially checked and kept on checking for scam and fraud reports before signing up and sadly, the first one was filed only on 15 June 2016, by then its already too late for me. The company as contacted me by email, as they must have acceessed my information from various job sites I registered to, looking for work. I got a pre-employment offer and got enrolled in paid 5-week Assement Program fo $2500/- with a Practical Project to procure Apple Gift Cards. The modus seemed legit as no bank details or any financial information was required from my end. In fact they issued a temeparary bank account from Sun Trust to be regieterd as a payment to my credit card. It did work as my bank accepted the account and the payment transactions and released my available credit for purchase (which should have not happened if the credit card company performed its due diligence). Today, I got an email that the first 2 payments of U$5000 each ($10,000 in total) apparently were 'unsucessful'. If my credit card will not be able to get this money, then I would end up losing $10,000 on this.

I am new to the U.S. looking for work and to be scammed by such company is an outrage. I am not from the Banking and Finance sector and my commercial knowledge about this is limited. Unfortunately, this is an organozed crime which should be tracked down by the authorities as these people are out there to destroy other people's lives. The banks and credi card companies, including Apple, which somehow benefitted from this should be vigilant in helpful in giving warnings instead of just calling to verify the purchase.

I hope that this help stops the culprits who prey on honest people looking for work to support themseves and their families. BEWARE of scams like this.

Be aware!!! There is a scam out there praying on individuals seeking employment. The company is Force Business Consulting (forcebusinessconsulting.com) based out of Geneva, Switzerland. You will be contcted by an individual named Melissa Powell regarding your resume on a job site. She will provide you with a website and information on a business called Force Business Consulting. She will provide a very real looking job application and contract along with a wonderful description of the job as well as the benefits. She claims the home office is based in Geneva, Switzerland and that the company is looking to open offices in your city/state. You will then be put in contact with a person named Teresa Templeton who is supposedly the HR manager at their New York office. The number she has listed is 646-867-3687. The phone number is not a working number. She also has an email adrress of [email protected] Teresa will send you emails pretending to work with you and have you complete cases and at least 1 test to assess your skills for the postition of Senior Project Consultant. Eventually she will ask that you participate in a project offer where you do research on specific Macbooks. She will then send you a ridiculous email claiiming that she will provide you with Force Business Consulting's business account information so you can purchase gift cards from the Apple store. She will also claim that you will not have to provide any personal or banking information, but needs to know if you have a credit card with at least a $1000 limit.

After asking about whether or not I had a credit card with at least a $1000 limit, I confronted "Teresa" and expressed my concerns and asked her to address them. I also informed her that I had recently read reports, all of which were in line with what had occurred at the time, stating the Force Business Consulting is a scam. Needless to say, after I confronted her I did not hear back from "Teresa".

Please do not be fooled by the very real, professional looking website or the exceptional benefits, wonderful salary, and their promise to compensate you $2500 for completing cases and tests while you participate in their pre-emplyoment process.

I just want to make other people looking for employment on the scam. It is really sad criminals are so hard at work and praying on people looking to work. Perhaps, they should do the same.

Force Business Consultants please read if you are involved with them! They seem VERY legitimate, I researched them before signing up. Until today, they had a very nice website that looked totally professional complete with client names, European offices, contacts - the whole shebang. The Consulting program is a good hook, It too along with the tests and case studies really feel like a true opportunity. I had even spoke to the recruiter when she called me initially - all seemed on the level. EVEN their reasoning for using personal cards with reimbursing of funds from their account. I have not lost any money (yet that I am aware of but still holding breath). The phone number on all their emails is bogus - it does trace back to a land line in New York but it will not work (***-***-****) and the office is susposed to be on the Avenue of the Americas in NYC I believe. All the contracts, paperwork, everything they send is very professional looking but as of this morning I am highly concerned it is indeed a scam. No longer being able to talk with a person, the number not working, the website now showing down and being "rebuilt" and only email contact is sending off alarms. I have kept all of the documents sent authorizing accesses and charges, etc... just in case I need them. I have contacted my credit card companies and alerted them as well as closed the accounts. I am hoping fervantly Force realizes I am not playing along and just calls it quits. Having worked on the internet for many years, having an internet company and doing most of my communications and training via email and internet is not in itself unusual in this day and age which is why I did not pick up on the immediate danger. I am eating major crow and feeling like an idiot but this group is very good, very savvy and very smooth. BEWARE!

Force Business Consultants please read this information if you are involved here! DO NOT GIVE THEM OR RECEIVE ANY BANK OR CREDIT CARD INFORMATION! THIS IS WHAT I FOUND! tried to reach the phone number on the website and on/in all your emails. These are not a functioning phone numbers. I even called the number that left a voice mail on my phone on June 14th 646-583-2887 this is also disconnected . I called Apple, They Looked up all the multiple PO's that have been requested all the same units Everyone is going to an address that is a home and there have been no purchases made! I have research the company and there is no internet presence outside the website. I have research the CEO Bernet and there is nothing about him on the internet. I have researched the HR person Benoit on the contract and their is nothing connected to your company. I have researched the Special Projects person Nelia on the contract and their is nothing connected to your company THIS COMPANY IS A SCAM preying on the unemployed.

Company name: Force Business Consulting

Register in Geneva Switzerland as Force Business Services Sarl

Owner: Franck Bernet

Company officers: Claudia Benoit, Teresa Templeton, Melissa Powell

This company offered me contract as Senior Consultant. After two weeks of training they asked me to pay for Apple equipment. I refuse to pay with my credit card.

I demand them to pay me for the time I spend developping their "supposely" projects. There is no reply since then, no answer and the number in Geneva is disconnected. I look online for all the companies representatives but no one is a real person, I couldn't find any of them on Facebook, Linkedin, or residence in New York. The website has been active since April 2016.

The IP address is link to an Ukraine IP. The company is register in Geneva Switzerland with a slightly other name. This is a clear SCAM and fraude! They try to get your money by buying gift cards from Apple.

If anyone had experience this unfortunate situation, please ste up to stop this scam.

I'm well educated, with a long work history, but currently unemployed. I was contacted via phone by a Melissa Powell, Force Business Consulting HR Assistant, who had apparently seen my resume on Career Builder and thought I would be a great fit for their Sr. Business Consultant position. Force is headquartered in Switzerland, with offices in other major cities and recently expanded to NY, so looking to expand in healthcare supply chain management consulting nationwide. They set up a phone interview then sent me a detailed description of their paid 5 week Pre-Employment assessment program to enable both parties to ensure there is a good fit. They even sent a contract for the Assessment program. This was followed by high quality, very technical documentation to assess my knowledge of Supply Chain Management, including a test.

Since I did so well on the test (100%), they wanted me to move to a more practical assignment, sourcing the equipment for our new local TN office. They provided an official Purchase Order listing 5 current Apple laptops with target prices and wanted me to see if I could find any additional savings, which I did. They then approved the purchase. She then sent me an email stating I need to have a CC with at least 1k on it, I informed her that I have been out of work for a year and just filed chapter 13 and could not do that. She did send me case number 5 and I completed it and sent it back in. and have heard nothing bback from them. Then today I sent an email still no reply so was looking up thier web site again and it is gone
