New scam alert!

Jeremy Matthews at Advanced Career Institute reports the following:

“Please be aware we received a fraudulent call this morning from a man claiming to be an employee for Tyson foods. The man claimed to be ‘David Green’ a driver recruiter who needed to fill 10-15 spots in the Fresno area. He provided me with a number from northern Florida (850) 449-8313 and requested that I have our students contact him. 

This man knew a lot about truck driving saying that ‘they drove 48 states; drivers would work for 6 weeks with a trainer for 450 a week and then would be paid 32 cents a mile.’ He also stated, ‘The students’ money would double after training.’  He informed me that they hauled 48 foot reefer trailers and had female trainers. He also stated company policy allowed him to hire drivers 3 years after a DUI and 5 years after felony, while misdemeanors are treated on a case-by-case basis.

I called Tyson to verify the information and found not only does he not work there, he is wanted for scamming students at a Dootson trucking school in California.

It is believed that he will coerce information from the students and ask them to send money for application fees, etc.”

Jeremy reports that the scammer contacted their Fresno school as well. In a followup, he states that he also received a call from the president of Tyson Rwho informed him that the scammer has also been working a truck driving school in the Atlanta area using the name “Ronald Henderson.”
