I also was offered a position as a PP Assistant. After reading the description of the job and the company I made a few calls and found out the following information. First, the Department of Commerce has no record of this company and certainly has no record of the license number posted on their website. than number doesn't even conform to their numbering system.
Second, I called the S.W.I.F.T. organization that they declare that they are registered with. The representative that I spoke with told me in no uncertain terms that Global Advantage LLC was not one of their customers and that this was most certainly a case of fraud.
I have passed on this opportunity and advise any of you out there to do the same. It isn't worth a jail sentence to take the chance.
I was also offered a job with this company. The PP Asistant position sounded a bit risky so I called a few places.
The Minnesota Dept. of Commerce has not licensed a company by that name and the number they list doesn't conform to their numbering system.
S.W.I.F.T. also hasn't heard of them and they are not a customer of their's. The Rep at SWIFT told me that this was most definitely fraud.
The job offer that came from two different "apparent" employment services show that the very same person or entity owns the domain names that these offers came from. This has to be more than coincidence.
I would advise any that get an offer from this company to pass on the job. No job is worth a jail term.
Has anyone had experience with Global Advantage LLC? During my search for a home-based position, I came across several open positions with this company and filled out an application for hire. They responded saying that I passed a background check and they would like to hire me. The job itself though (upon receiving more information about what I'd actually be doing) sounds very risky and shady. I would be a money transmitter similar to Western Union where I would need to be transmitting money to different countries. I checked with the BBB - although no cases have been filed against them, the report showed that this company is not licensed to transmit money (despite that they claim to be) and they have not responded to the BBB attempt to collect more data on them. Also, the BBB said that if one was to take a position with this company they would need to be a licensed money transmitter which I am not. This sounds like a scam.....anyone else??
I also was interested in this company. I am new to SOHO and just before I applied, I did a SOHO search on this company and found this forum. Thanks you guys for saving me a jail sentence. The only problem I have with this is that I applied with a SOHO company, and was informed that there were no jobs in my area, but they recommended I apply with Global Advantage. So I'm searching for the original job posting which I first applied through SOHO. They must be clueless to the type of company they're recommending.
