Default WARNING! Potential Scam! SFV Group...
Please beware of SFV Group or Henry Novak. This is a potential SCAM An associate of mine submitted a proposal for this job from SFV Group and it wasn't until after she signed the NDA and Contract that they asked her to open a bank account at Chase, Wells Fargo, or Bank of America.

Here is the final email he sent her.

Quote:
Please accept our congratulations. We confirm your vacancy. Expect final answer about the starting date of your employment.
Also we'll contact you by phone within the next few days so that we can discuss some questions concerning our contract.
To start the job, you will also need to open an account in one of the banks e.g. "Bank of America", “Chase Bank” or "Wells Fargo".
In case you already have an active account you can use it.
Then please provide us with your account details:
1) The name of the bank
2) The routing number of the bank
3) The account number
Please send me a confirmation that you have received this email. Thank you.

Best regards,
Henry Novak
It wasn't until after she had signed the contract and NDA that he sent her this, and also she said that every attempt to speak with him by phone did not work.


The position for this posting was Financial Agent. So VA's beware! Please be careful out there.
