Apartment scam on Craigslist. Should I call the police?

While what you described isn't a total scam, the job you interviewed for isn't a job, it is an opportunity. It is a 100% commission door to door sales job. You will be working with a "current marketing employee" that has probably been working for that company for a month and you will be walking door to door trying to sell vacuum cleaners, cable/internet service, cleaning supplies, knives, perfume or some other product.

You will not be paid for the day and you will be spending 8-10 hrs out there, not one hour like you were told. There isn't anything to tell the police or building owner, no one lied to you or scammed you. The hiring manager just didn't tell you everything, like the real reason he didn't ask for your SS#.

He doesn't need it because you aren't any employee of that company, you are an independent contractor. An independent contractor has to pay their own taxes, insurance and gas to drive to all the neighborhoods you will be trying to sell in. If you want to slow that company down, post the company name, address and "job description" on every scam-warner-anti-fraud-busting site you can find.

When when a suspicious potential victim goes looking for information, finds your post containing all that information then that potential victim does not become a victim because you took the time "get the word out".

If you believe the job you recently interviewed for is a scam, then you should not take the job offer since you do not feel comfortable that the job is right and something is wrong with the job.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
