Tabacchi Enterprises saw my resume on Career Builders and sent me a message acting like they had a job to offer and they never gave me a job description at all and after 5 minutes on the phone, they wanted to hire me immediately and they wanted my checking account number, but when I wouldn't give them my checking acct # they said they wouldn't hire me. This was nothing but a scam and I'm so glad I didn't give it to them. I don't want this to happen to anybody else.

  • I would truly understand your concern if there was at least one reason from your side. I've been working for this company for the last 7 months and I receive my pay right to my account on time every 2 weeks. So, please, don't talk about a Scam blaming it on a decent company without even actually trying the job. You've never been an employee - you have no right of speaking life a one.

    Respect,
    Cristina

  • Although it's an overseas company, which makes it differ from the US-based ones, I still got my check for these 2 weeks last Friday. The only thing I had to do to make this happen is getting in touch with my personal manager to receive the necessary instructions. And, of course, make my job well.

    Cristina.

  • Cristina,

    You have been working for this company for 7 mo? I received the same thing as the initial complaint, however, I am skeptical about giving any information out especially my account number after being a fraud victim. Could you tell me a little more about the company or what you do for the company? Did they ask you for your account information at the interview?

  • Cristina,

    I feel the same as everyone else. The interview process was super easy for the pay they offer and benefits. Plus I was called from a cell phone to do my over the phone interview which is in the U.S and they only have a P.O Box in the states. Did you get first check after 2 weeks from your hire date cause they still haven't answered that question. I would like some better details about company as well. And I dont see why I cant have check mailed until I decide Im ready to give checking info

  • They want get me cause I contacted Career Builder and they stated that Tabacchi Enterprises Ltd. isnt a member with their company. They stated that they are SCAM. So everyone be smart and report them and remove them from your email NOW and stop all contact with them.

  • Cristina is a fake as a $3 bill. I also believe she's probably the person that's trying to milk people out of their hard earned money and I hope she gets caught real soon and goes to jail where she belongs. Don't be fooled by the $19 per hour wage to work at home. Here's the fake fax number to look out for 866-785-9846.

  • Don't waste your money faxing them the papers because it's all a scam. Everytime I would send them a question, I would never get an answer and they would keep e-mailing me for my information and act like they never got any of my messages. That was a red flag so I investigated and contacted the bbb and the real Tabacchi company in Germany. They don't have any companys in the United States. Theres no $19 per hour work at home jobs. They need to get a real job or go to jail for trying to scam all of these people.

  • What's the fuzz about the scam? No wonder you haven't been employed, as you never really searched for the info. You just couldn't found the company in Germany when it's situated on Cyprus. I've also contacted them about the BBB issue, and they told they were proceeding with accreditation, so I stopped worrying about this. You're not going to find a decent job if you're counting money you spend to fax the papers, but making a holywar on the Web about what is scam during several pages.

  • The fuss is Career Builder hasnt ever heard of them. And I feel you are part of the scam. I have a good job but am always open to new things. But this isnt it. Plus they called from a cell that was cutting in and out and never asked anything about work experience just 4 questions about my personality. Get real go find some other sucker to SCAM.

  • See what I mean? Cristina is the only one on this site that's saying the so called company is legit and that's because she's the one behind all of this and she's mad that we're onto her scam. I hope all our complaints are making people not fall for this crap. Cristine go get a real job and learn how to speak english.

  • What company wants you to call them for an interview? That was my first suspicion. She probably didn't want to pay for the long distance call from PA. Here's the phone # 717-461-2882. I think this will be very easy for the PA police to check out if anybody actually gets scammed and falls for this crap.

    At first this job sounds like quite the catch, at $19 dollars an hour!

    Basically you transfer money from international"clients" sent to you to other international "clients" thru money transfers from a specific money order place.


    This company tried to hire my sister last week,(we live in Los Angeles area), from her resume on Career Builder. She gave them her information, my checking account #, and signed an employment agreement form. She provided a voided check, under the guise of a "Direct Deposit" forum, and it was mentioned that her bank account will be used to place funds from the company to be disbursed to clients, and she needs to take them out and transfer them to clients. She completely stopped talking to them, and she admit she signed a confidentiality agreement so she cant discuss the "job" in detail.

    The "job" of this company is simply going to your bank, withdrawing the cash they send to your account, and then going to a specific wire transfer place of your city and sending the money order/ money transfer to somebody in another country aka their Clients. When you send the money to this money wire place, your supposed to say it's for "personal" reasons, and your supposed to go to multiple branches, a different one every day. Also you are offered $25 an hour if you get a small business account. This is extremely fishy.

    I talked to my local bank and they said constant transfer of money would trigger an investigation on your account, if your are out of a sudden receiving several thousands to your bank account several times a week, and then withdrawing them as cash the bank is going to get suspicious.

    The bank said it is highly likely this company is a money laundering scheme, or a wire fraud scam, but that is just an opinion.

    My opinion is that this company is similar to a Nigerian Scam, they may deposit money and when you send it to the clients its you wont get scammed, but after a while they will scam by giving you fake cash which you send to somebody else, after they built your trust.

    Several read flags:
    You are required to say that you are always the originator of the transfer. That means when you go to the money order place to send the money transfer..you take all the risk.

  • I've seen you guys talking about this company, tabacchi enterprises. Well, I've worked for them for 2 months and I can tell you that I've already got my first 3 salaries via direct deposit. This Friday I'm going to get $1,520 for the last 2 weeks. I'm not gonna say it's once-in-a-lifetime chance or smth like heaven, but it's a real company that pays real money. As I presume, it's the main issue you're all concerned about.

  • I'm all up for a good opportunity and hate to knock something when I don't have all of the information so I decided to give this place a try because after all, the pay is good and it looks legitimate. However, the people that claim they have been working for them for more than 30 days do not mention if they are actual employees of the company. It states that you have a 30 day evaluation period, at which point they may hire you permanently and you will then have access to a corporate account to do business with instead of your own. Are any of you permanent employees of this organization? If so, are you using a corporate account to do business with instead of your personal bank account? Probably not if I have to guess.

    I am unsure of all the legalities so I was willing to give this a chance. I decided to use an inactive checking account that has no money in it so I didn't have to worry about theft. They refuse to give any information until you provide all of the bank information and complete the survey and what not. Once you complete all of this and upload your bank information, they give you your 1st training manual which consists of 3 pages and basically states how you are supposed to go about moving their money around, specificall stating the reules on Western Union wire transfers and how to get around them as well as what to say to your bank when questioned on the withdrawl.

    I haven't gotten any further with this because I am now questioning the legitimacy of this company simply due to the fact that they want to transfer money into your personal account so you can withdraw the funds from the bank and send it somewhere Western Union. Once you send that money via Western Union, you lose all traceability on those funds, meaning, if the transactions are questioned, you will be responsible to answer. If Uncle Sam comes knocking on your door due to suspicious activity, it will be on you to explain what's going on and something tells me that Tabacchi Enterprises will not be there to support you. Although you have transaction information up to that point, I am concerned about where the funds are going and for what REAL purpose. If someone gave you a package of drugs but did not tell you what was in it and paid you well to deliver it, does that make it ok? Again, I really don't know what would happen but I'm just being realistic here. The company has not done any background checks, hasn't met you in person, doesn't ask for social security numbers, knows nothing about you other than what you want them to think or know, but yet they are willing to to depsoit funds into your account? I haven't gotten to that point but I'm assuming the deposits will not be small amounts. Are they not worried about theft?

    If you go to the bank with X amount of dollars to deposit cash, if it is over a certain amount it, the bank is by law required to send that information to the IRS but that is not the case with ACH depsoits and cash withdrawls so my feeling is that this company is taking advantage of that, as well as the people who unknowingly do their dirty work for them, to profit or hide the source of the funds. Do any of you Tabacchi employees really think this is legitimate? I mean, deep down inside? Yeah, they may pay you what they say and when they say they will, but, what are you actually doing for this company? Do any of you who supposedly work for them have any idea?

    I confronted them and they said that all transactions are regulated in the USA by the Financial Services Authority and by their financial services department. They say they send necessary paperwork at the end of each month which is required for taxation purposes and that they are sending power of attorney and payee intermediary forms as well. What does that exactly mean? Have any of you ever gotten these forms? Is this is in fact legal or just a bunch of BS to make you think it is legit? If it is legal then why is it necessary to lie about the transactions? Why all of the side stepping to get by the rules which are put in place to prevent this kind of stuff? They claim it is because the banks will want more information and will slow the process down but is that really why? It seems to me that they want you to take responsiblity for their illegal actions, is it a scam? No, I don't think it is, what I think is happening is that the company is not doing business legitamately and anyone asscociated with them will eventually be questioned in some way by the authorities. Wether or not you can be prosecuted if in fact it is illegal and you are pinned to the wall is my question.

    If all of the transactions can be accounted for and you have traceability of each transaction to show that you were not the final recipient of the funds, can you justify to the IRS that you did not perform any illegal activity and that you were acting on the company's behalf? I don't think anyone with a good conscience can honestly say that something shady isn't going on here. I really don't know, my next step was to discuss this with a CPA or some other proffessional that has had experience with this. Talking with my bank, they said it is not legitimate but they weren't sure because they didn't have all of the details. They were able to tell me that they have never heard of this before and to be careful. So I guess it's up to you if you want to be asccociated with them and take a chance, I personally am reluctant simply because I cannot find any info on them on the internet other than a couple small articles that may have been planted for all I know.

  • I've actually stopped co-operating with this company when I had to relocated to other country (my wife got a new job in Switzerland). However, I still can't say it was bad or fraudulent. The only thing that gets you down is going to banks and sending transactions (as the managers are usually not very polite). Though, I never had problems with my account or salary and if any of you did, maybe you'd like to at least show some proof.
