Pat claims the job “fell through” because one of the top people got caught cheating on their wife. The whole thing is very vague but it sounds like one of those like you mention. I remember seeing ads for jobs like that years ago on the internet that were obviously scams. Stuff like MAKE OVER SIX FIGURES! NO EXPERIENCE NEEDED! WILL TRAIN! since it was Florida I wonder if selling time shares was involved.
Lol I know exactly what you're talking about. Those quasi-pyramid schemes did well after the Recession because college graduates were so desperate for jobs.
But even still, who goes to an interview - or moves to Florida - without researching the company and reading reviews?
I was contacted by a company called Atlantic Enterprises or some shit when I was about to graduate and after 10 minutes of Googling realized they'd rebranded 3 times in 2 years and were a notorious "marketing scheme" pony show. I actually went to the interview just to show him their Reddit reviews and get their side of it. The executive assistant was married to the owner and they were the only two people in the office. As soon as I said the word "Reddit" they dismissed me. It made me so happy.
Looking back it was silly to waste an afternoon and miss class just to troll a fake company, but at least I didn't move to Florida.
